Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 148 The Stolen Powder Magazine
Lie did not deliberately lower his voice when asking questions, and everyone who heard his questions slipped.

Sawada Hiroki looked at him in confusion: "Uncle, don't you know Momotaro?"

Retsu blinked, "Why should I know Momotaro?"

Although he felt like he had heard this name somewhere before, he still didn't understand what Momotaro had to do with the zodiac...

Even Kogoro couldn't stand it anymore and helped him explain: "Momotaro is a folk story, almost all children know it..."

"That's it."

Lie clearly.

Conan suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Isn't Uncle Lin Japanese?"

Mr. Lin doesn't even know this well-known folk legend, so it's a bit suspicious.

"Yes, I am." Lie answered naturally, "But I went abroad more than 20 years ago, and only came back a few years ago to pick up Hongshu. I have never heard anyone tell me this little story before."

Conan was slightly stunned.

It turns out that Mr. Lin has been living abroad before?

But something was wrong... He remembered that Hiroki had said before that he originally lived in Japan, and later moved to the United States...

They left Japan more than 20 years ago. Why would Hiroki's relatives ask Mr. Lin to help take care of him?
After thinking for a while, Conan finally reacted and was speechless for a moment.

Why should he think about other people's family affairs...

"This is it. Please enjoy the tour."

As they were talking, Moriya Teiji had already brought the five of them to the exhibition hall.

The walls of the exhibition hall are almost all covered with architectural photos.

"Wow! Are all these buildings designed by you?" Xiaolan has always been interested in works of art, and she couldn't help but be amazed after seeing these works.

"Yes... It includes some of my works before I was 30 years old, but my works at that time were not mature enough, so you'd better not read the ones before that..."

Teiji Moriya showed his concern for his work without any mercy.

Most people would not criticize their own work... especially when it is highly praised by outsiders. From this perspective, Teiji Moriya is still an honest person.

Many of the pictures of buildings hanging on the wall are villas of the rich or public buildings, such as the Milan Municipal Building, the Canal Bridge, the Art Museum, etc.

But without exception, every building looks completely symmetrical.

Xiaolan also saw the picture of the Mika Municipal Building: "So you designed this building too?"

Moriya Teiji looked at the towering East Building outside the window, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, and said with a smile:
"Yes, but this is also one of my earlier designs..."

"That's such a coincidence." Mao Lilan said happily, "I have an appointment with Shinichi to watch a movie there on the 3rd of next month..."

Conan stumbled.

Damn it, he had already forgotten about it...

Because May 4th is Kudo Shinichi's birthday, Xiaolan chose to watch a movie with him at midnight on May 3rd.

"May 3rd?" Moriya Teiji's pupils shrank slightly, and a friendly smile appeared on his face. "That place is indeed very suitable for couples to go together. It seems that you and Kudo-kun have a good relationship."

Faced with such a kind-hearted Teiji Moritani, Xiaolan became less vigilant, and since he mentioned the person she liked, she unconsciously said a little more.

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro clenched his fists, wishing he could catch Kudo Shinichi and beat him up right now...

Conan began to think about how to break the appointment in four days and escape Xiaolan's anger...

Knowing this, Hiroki looked at Conan meaningfully, curious about what he would do.

Only Lie was concentrating on looking at every architectural drawing on the wall. Suddenly, he felt a chill. He smiled and turned his head to look at Moriya Teiji, who had a kind face, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

……

The whole afternoon tea time was very enjoyable.

It was around six o'clock in the evening when Hiroki and Retsu returned to their villa. Asai Narimi had already prepared food for them...but there was no meal for Retsu.

Lie stared at the two people who started eating: "Where is my meal?"

"No." Asai Chengmi said vaguely while eating, "Anyway, Master Ren said you won't starve to death if you don't eat for a month." Lie: "QAQ~"

It’s too much. She doesn’t even cook for him!
Lie stood up disappointedly: "Then I'll go out for a walk..."

"Where?"

"Looking for bombs."

"..."

……

three days later.

When Asai Narimi and Sawada Hiroki saw the news of the "Toyo gunpowder depot theft" on TV, they turned around to look at Rei who was eating instant noodles.

Lie raised his head, looking innocent: "What's wrong?"

Hiroki and Cheng Shi pointed at the TV at the same time, making half-moon eyes, "This, could it be you who did it?"

"How is that possible?" Lie stared, "I don't even know where this gunpowder depot is."

"Then what have you been doing these days?" Asai Narumi and Hiroki looked incredulous.

Ever since he came back from afternoon tea that day, Lie started going out early and coming back late, even if he had nothing to do.

And every time I come back I am filled with joy...

It was hard for them not to be suspicious.

Just as the three of them were staring at each other, Noah's voice suddenly rang out: "Something's going on... Conan received a call from someone saying there was a bomb in Tsutsumukawa Green Park."

Hiroki/Narishi: “?!”

"Who called?" Lie continued to eat instant noodles without raising his head.

Noah was quiet for a while. "The owner of the number does not exist, but the signal is coming from right next to the park."

"Also, Conan has already gone there. He was just at the doctor's house."

Lie put down the bowl of instant noodles and wiped his mouth: "Look, it must be that guy who stole the bomb, not me..."

"..."

You look suspicious no matter how you look at it!
"Okay, Hiroki, if Conan has any problems, it's up to you. Chengshi, just take care of the house." Lie waved his hand, put on a pair of sunglasses and went out, "I still have something to do... Bye~"

Hiroki: “…”

I hope Uncle Lie is not going to kill or burn anything.

-

two days ago.

The police received a report on the theft shortly after the Oriental gunpowder depot was stolen.

But the police did not find any useful evidence at the theft scene to identify the culprit.

The gunpowder vault was equipped with an advanced combination lock, so it stands to reason that only the insiders would be suspected of theft...

But they checked all internal employees and found no bomb.

"Matsuda, this can't be..."

At the scene, Inspector Megure looked at Jinpei Matsuda solemnly, thinking of the explosion in the company not long ago.

The latter lifted his sunglasses with a lazy expression, "Who knows... But judging from the recent arson and bombing cases, the criminals in these cases and the case of the pharmaceutical company are not the work of the same person."

Next to him, another police officer in a blue suit looked at Matsuda Jinpei and said, "I'm sorry... I asked you to come here even though it's not your shift."

"It's okay. I'm only interested in the bombing anyway."

Matsuda Jinpei simply took off his glasses and looked at the warehouse that was originally filled with gunpowder. "If the gunpowder here is combined with plastic, it can easily be made into a plastic bomb... The criminal will definitely take action soon."
