After hearing what Tang Ze said, Shiratori Jinzaburo wanted to refute again.
But before he could say anything, Tang Ze spoke again and dropped a bombshell: "I don't know if you noticed that the two mansions that were burned were the works of Professor Moriya Teiji in his early thirties.
Furthermore, I reviewed the forensic report of the burned-down mansion and discovered that the serial arsonist used a handmade incendiary device.
If you think about it this way, don't you think he has some things in common with the criminal who stole the explosives?!"
“Nani!!”
This statement caused an uproar in the audience. This speculation was even more exaggerated than the previous suspicion that Moritani Teiji was the culprit who burned his own works.
They didn't expect that Tang Ze would actually link the two cases together, but after carefully checking the information, they had to admit that this was entirely possible!
The homemade incendiary device used by the arsonist could very well have been stolen gunpowder!
After Karasawa's speculation, the two cases became even more confusing in the eyes of Inspector Megure and others.
First of all, there is the arson case. There are two possibilities: Teiji Moritani is the culprit, or he is the enemy who holds a grudge against Teiji Moritani.
Of course, this speculation is based on the assumption that the criminal only burned the works of Teiji Moritani.
If the criminal commits the crime again and targets Teiji Moritani's works, it can be basically confirmed that the other party is targeting him with a purpose.
As for the gunpowder theft case, according to Tang Ze's analysis, there are two possibilities: it may be a separate case, and the criminal stole the explosives for other purposes.
Or maybe he was the same person as the arsonist, who stole the gunpowder in order to destroy Teiji Moritani's work.
From gunpowder theft to arson.
Basically, they appeared one after another. At the same time, after the forensic department checked the fire point, it was found that the hand-made ignition device did meet the requirements. At least it cannot be said that there is no connection at all.
But in Tang Ze's view, these possible examples are nothing more than a cover-up for reasonable speculation.
After all, it is impossible for him to directly throw out the correct answer. That would not be speculation but predicting the future.
Like now, throwing out many possibilities and then focusing on guiding the correct answer makes things very logical.
At most, Tang Ze has an excellent sense of the overall situation and is not bound by inertial thinking, so it won't be so abrupt.
While everyone was lost in thought, Tang Ze spoke up again and suggested, "Inspector Megure, after all, these are just my speculations. Why don't you just leave the Moritani Teiji storyline to me?
In addition, it would be best to arrange some people to guard the Kurokawa family mansion and the Akutsu family mansion, both of which are Professor Moritani's early designs.
Regardless of whether other speculations are correct, it is highly likely that the arsonist intended to burn Professor Teiji Moriya's work."
"Yes, that's true." Inspector Megure nodded, "Shiratori-kun, Takagi-kun, each of you will take your men to guard the two mansions!"
"Hi!"
"Sato-san, please cooperate with Karasawa-kun and follow the lead of Moriya Teiji!"
"I understand." Sato Miwako nodded to show that she understood.
"The situation is urgent. We cannot let any possibility go unchecked." Inspector Megure said in a deep voice, "Cheer up!"
"Hi!!"
…
After Inspector Megure assigned the task, Shiratori and Takagi had to lead people to keep watch.
After some investigation, Karasawa and Sato Miwako found out that Moritani Teiji had a banquet tomorrow afternoon, so they decided to visit him tomorrow afternoon.
After all the plans were completed, the two said goodbye and went back to rest, while the poor Shiratori and Takagi each led their people to keep watch.
This arrangement makes sense. Sato Miwako is a woman, and since there is no shortage of manpower to take care of her, it is understandable. And since Tang Ze stayed up all night yesterday, naturally there will be no need to arrange for her to keep watch.
The next morning, Tang Ze was called up.
After meeting Inspector Megure, I heard good news and bad news from him - the Akutsu family's mansion was burned down.
Well, this is the news, both good and bad.
The burning of the mansion was certainly bad, but the good news was that Karasawa's reasoning was correct, and the culprit had indeed struck again, as in Teiji Moriya's earlier works.
At around three in the morning last night, a fire broke out in the Akutsu family's mansion. Takagi and his police officers were overwhelmed and had to choose to rescue people first.
There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the mansion was so large, and the other party did not choose the position where Takagi would be on guard. By the time they discovered the fire, they had already run away. The situation was urgent and they had no choice but to save people first.
Fortunately, because the two appeared quickly enough, the fire was not out and the people inside woke up, so there were no casualties.
Now Karasawa's "guess" became the correct "inference", and Inspector Megure immediately reported it to the investigation headquarters.
After learning of this information, the investigation headquarters confirmed the accuracy of the information and immediately dispatched a large number of personnel to monitor the Kurokawa family around the clock.
Karasawa and Sato Miwako went to the Moritani Teiji family's mansion together.
As a building from the 17th century, during the orthodox Stuart dynasty in England, it is undoubtedly very spectacular.
There are vast courtyards, luxurious fountains, towering houses, and even two security guards guarding the door.
"What should we do? Should we identify ourselves before entering?" Seeing the guards in front of the courtyard, Sato Miwako frowned and asked, "But if I identify myself before entering, will it alert the enemy?"
"It's okay. Yesterday, when I called Detective Mori to inquire about the case that happened in the Kurokawa family, I mentioned Moriya Teiji."
Tang Ze smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that Detective Maori also happened to be in contact with Moriya Teiji and even got his invitation letter.
After explaining the situation, Detective Maori and I agreed to meet at the door, and we'll go in together later."
"Really? That's quite a coincidence." Sato said with a smile, "I'm really lucky."
In response, Tang Ze just smiled and said nothing.
Since I knew that Kogoro Mouri and the others had an invitation, I naturally called them.
From then on, whenever there was a mention of investigating Moritani Teiji, Kogoro Mori would naturally be willing to help.
The plan works!
The two didn't have to wait long. Soon a taxi stopped in front of the Moritani residence and Conan jumped out first.
Seeing this, Tang Ze and the other man parked the car and got out to meet up with Maori Kogoro and others.
After handing over the invitation, several people successfully entered and came to the backyard.
The other party is indeed a famous architect. Social celebrities can be seen everywhere. Congressmen and entrepreneurs are all upper-class people in society. There are even many celebrities who can often be seen on TV.
However, Tang Ze didn't come here to make friends with these big shots.
He came here to put the blame on Moriya Teiji~
