Chapter 170 This is different from the normal Jiang Xia
"So that's how it is... I understand." Jiang Xia's tone became a little more serious in the receiver, and he said sharply, "Did the bomb demon give you a new clue?"
Conan nodded as he ran: "Yes, there is more than one bomb - the man also placed a bomb in the small square outside the Beika Station. The clue given is 'under the tree, but not buried under the tree'. It will explode in one o'clock. We don't have much time!"
"Under the tree?" Jiang Xia paused, as if thinking.
After a moment, his voice sounded again: "A bomb placed in a public place should not be too conspicuous. Under the tree... maybe it refers to the cat? I remember that there are some benches in the small square in front of Beihua Station, and there are often stranded passengers. If you put a cat bag there, it really won't be conspicuous."
- The same super-fast pace, the same spoiler-like behavior, which used to only make Conan want to touch his earmuffs.
But now, at this critical moment, Conan listened to his words and became refreshed. He inexplicably had the feeling of having a golden, full-level teammate standing behind him with a sword in hand when he was fighting a fatal boss.
In an instant, my waist straightened a little.
People once again have the leisure to engage in reasoning.
"...Cat?" Conan repeated the word softly several times, and suddenly he exclaimed "Ah", and suddenly realized.
——"under the tree" can refer to the roots of a tree (ねっこ). It is similar to the word for cat (ねこ) with only one accent.
It turns out this is a homophonic question!
Conan: "..." The mysterious bomber was a bit unlucky. Not only did he encounter Jiang Xia when he was making a puzzle, but he also happened to hit the key words that Jiang Xia could easily associate with - Conan remembered Jiang Xia's daily behavior of looking for cats and felt very lucky.
"Oh right. When we go to the station to defuse the bomb, he will most likely continue to follow me and observe how things progress." Conan now has a strong teammate, and he is eager to launch a counterattack. "When the time comes, I will be in the light and you will be in the dark. We will take him down directly, so that we won't be led by him all the time... Hmm? Where are you going?"
"Go get him."
The phone clicked and ended.
"?!" Conan looked up in surprise and saw Jiang Xia stepped on the accelerator, the motorcycle rushed out with a hum, and his figure quickly disappeared at the intersection.
Conan: "..." There are so many people here, and Jiang Xia has just arrived for a short time, but he has already found the bomb demon?!
Looking at Jiang Xia's receding back, and the eagerness hidden in his back.
Conan seemed to see a large, glowing red word pop up above the mysterious bomber's head: "Danger!"
“……” He silently clasped his hands together and prayed for the bomber, hoping that he would not be killed.
Although he wanted to follow and stop Jiang Xia to prevent him from over-defending, the second bomb was about to explode, so he had to deal with the bomb at the station as soon as possible and then save the bomb demon.
Thinking of this, Conan anxiously put down the skateboard and slid to the next place where the bomb was.
…
Jiang Xia has indeed found someone.
Just now, the bomber's hiding place was on the rooftop of an abandoned building in the distance.
The man seemed to have murderous intentions towards Kudo Shinichi, and he was full of murderous aura. He stood on the roof in darkness, and in contrast to the bright sunshine, he was extremely eye-catching in Jiang Xia's eyes.
So, Jiang Xia decisively threw a metaphysical locator across several hundred meters.
——He let Mist Tengu fly to the Bomb Demon.
While the Bomb Demon was holding the voice changer and chatting with Conan, Mist Tengu had already arrived and climbed on him with a serious look on his face.
With his own ghost leading the way, it would be no difficulty for Jiang Xia to find him.
…
The other side.
The bomb demon put away his voice changer and phone, hummed a song and left the roof of the abandoned building, preparing to go to Beika Station to enjoy the miserable scene of civilians struggling in the face of the bomb.
The sunlight coming in from the window illuminated his face.
If he took off his sunglasses and beard, he would reveal a face that would shock celebrities - he is a professor at the top institution Touto University and the country's leading architectural master, Teiji Moriya.
Teiji Moriya has extremely high demands on his work.
He is a patient with advanced obsessive-compulsive disorder who pursues "symmetry" to the extreme.
For the sake of symmetry, he changed his original name "Sadaharu" to the symmetrical "Teiji"; for the sake of symmetry, he set fire to several houses he designed in secret - in the eyes of others, they were all masterpieces worthy of praise. But in the eyes of Moriya Teiji, they were "black history" that must be erased because they were asymmetrical.
In addition, it is precisely for the sake of "symmetry" that Moriya Teiji and Kudo Shinichi have a deep hatred:
A year ago, Mayor Okamoto of Nishitama City invited Teiji Moriya to design a town for him. Teiji Moriya put a lot of effort into designing the new city of Nishitama City - a beautiful complex of completely symmetrical buildings.
However, just as construction was about to begin, Mayor Okamoto hit and killed a woman with his car.
The mayor originally wanted his son to take the blame for him, but his plan was exposed by Kudo Shinichi and he was sent to jail. The construction of Nishitama New City was therefore permanently shelved.
Every time Moriya Teiji saw the "Nishitama New City" model he had carefully built, his murderous intent towards Kudo Shinichi increased.
A while ago, he finally couldn't hold back anymore, and after obtaining a large amount of explosives, he decided to continue blowing up his own "black history" while taking revenge on Kudo Shinichi.
Teiji Moriya recalled the massive bombs he had installed on the Toudou Loop Line and on the Beika Municipal Building. His mood soared when he thought that the "black history" of the two buildings would soon disappear along with Kudo Shinichi.
He left the abandoned building, walked to the car and opened the door.
Just as I was about to sit in, my collar suddenly tightened.
“?!”
Before he could come to his senses, the next second, Moriya Teiji was thrown into the air like a pancake, and then was thrown heavily to the ground with a bang.
Moriya Tei's back hit the ground first, followed by his head, and his vision went black.
He endured the buzzing in his head and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a young man standing in front of him. The man raised his hand and a baton was unfolded in his hand.
Moriya Teiji felt a chill on his back. He recognized him - the man in front of him seemed to be a famous detective... Why is there a detective here? !
