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

Chapter 312: Murder Intent on the Metropolitan Police Department

"So, you're well now?"

"Yes, yes~ It's so sad. Although it's healed, it still hurts~"

"…Then why did you blow up someone's house?"

"Well, because the person is already dead~"

"You still say you didn't blow it up!?"

"...Ah, I'm exposed~"

Jinpei Matsuda sat on the charred floor, silently talking on the phone with Rei.

He mainly wanted to confirm whether it was really Lie who did it, but when he asked, Lie started to lie to him and kept telling him how his hand was broken...

Matsuda Jinpei actually thought that Retsu was seriously injured, and asked him a few words of concern. Then Retsu immediately said that he was fine.

He felt that he had wasted his time.

"What did you use to explode this time?" Matsuda Jinpei picked up a piece of glass with his gloved hand. "The power is too weak."

Most of the mess in the room was caused by the fire caused by the explosion. The only things actually affected by the explosion were the bed and window in the room, as well as the innocent bookcase next to it.

It feels like it has about the same destructive power as a grenade.

And I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Matsuda Jinpei always felt that he smelled a scent of alcohol, although it was basically covered up by the burnt smell.

"Ugh~ I originally wanted to blow up the whole room, but when I went in, I found a lot of wine in the room, so I put gunpowder in the wine bottles, and then the remote control device..."

Lie excitedly explained on the phone how he made a "wine bottle grenade" on the spot.

Jinpei Matsuda was too weak to hold his forehead.

It turns out that the smell of alcohol is not an illusion...

"So why did you blow up this room? Didn't you say your hand was broken by someone?"

"Yeah, and that person died when he fell down. I can't blow up the body..."

"Then the house can be blown up at will?"

"Haha~ After all, that's where people fall from~"

Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

So what went wrong with this room?
Lie just happened to be complaining on the phone: "It's all because of this window that we can't stop people from getting in. It's so high and there's no guardrail..."

Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

These days, it’s not easy to be a window.

Window: Other windows don’t have guardrails either, why are you blowing mine up?
"Ah~ Actually, I wanted to blow up the whole building." Lie's voice sounded a little distressed, "But there were too many people, it would be inconvenient to blow it up, and I had to use bombs sparingly, so I didn't blow it up..."

Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

Should he also thank Lie for not increasing his workload a second time?
"Eh? By the way, Jinpei-chan, you're there, right? Is it okay to call me like this?"

Lie realized something only then.

"... Don't worry, all the residents on this floor have been evacuated, and I'm the only one here to check." Matsuda Jinpei leaned against the wall with his eyes half-mooned, "You shouldn't have placed bombs anywhere else, right?"

"Ah~ Of course not..."

"Then hang up."

"Eh? Come on, Zhen Ping, we can talk--"

"Beep~"

"..."

In the villa.

Lie listened to the beep sound of the call being hung up and curled his lips.

Little Zhenping is really not cute at all...

He looked at Asai Narimi who was busy with gauze, tears welling up in his eyes, "Doctor... my hand is fine, why do you have to wrap it like a dumpling?" "Because many people saw your hand was broken, didn't they?"

Asai Narimi said in a serious tone, concentrating on bandaging him, pretending that Rei's hand was really broken, "If you are fine again tomorrow, Conan will definitely suspect something, right?"

Hiroki Sawada, who had already returned from the Mori family, agreed, "Uncle Retsu, Doctor Asai is right, it's better for you to pretend to be sick... Don't forget that the FBI is here too."

Lie's eyes were still filled with tears. "But, then I will only have my left hand..."

Although he can use it, he still prefers to do things with his right hand, and he is also more comfortable with defusing bombs with his right hand.

"It's okay, as long as I can take care of myself in daily life."

Asai Narimi said as he wrapped the bandage around Retsu's neck twice more, "It will be ready to be removed in about a week."

strong:"……"

For a moment, he really thought he had broken a bone.

He moved his hand tentatively, but Cheng Shi immediately held him down, "Don't move, the plaster will fall apart soon."

strong:"……"

Oh, no need to be so serious when pretending to be real!
Asai Chengshi cleaned up Retsu, then looked at Hiroki and said apologetically, "Hiroki, after today, you may have to buy your own lunch boxes or go out to eat."

Hiroki's eyes widened, "Doctor Asai, are you going to be transferred?"

"Yes, Master Jing assigned me to go to Yokohama..."

During special periods, Jing takes over Gin's position as the commander-in-chief in Tokyo and can mobilize any member.

So, there was one more person with tears in his eyes, Hiroki:
They have no one to cook for them.

so hard!
……

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, with thin clouds curling.

Tokyo at night is brightly lit, but who knows how many sins are buried there.

Inside a high-end apartment building.

A curly-haired man sat by the window, wiping a pistol on his hand with a malicious smile on his face.

"He's so timid when dealing with a group of policemen... He's a big shot, but he's just like this!"

He then showed some disdain.

"Let me show you what real technology is..."

Those police officers must die!
But how to do it specifically still needs careful planning.

-

"Are you sure everything is OK, Brother Matsuda?"

After hearing Jinpei Matsuda say that the crisis was over, Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief, but asked another question out of concern.

"Of course... and I've confirmed the source of the explosion. It wasn't caused by a real bomb." Matsuda Jinpei wandered around upstairs and came down to start making up stories with good reason. "Broken wine bottle fragments were found near the explosion point, as well as a smell of alcohol and residual gunpowder... I guess someone put gunpowder and wine together and used some kind of detonator to ignite it."

"By the way, there are signs that the door of the house called Gao Jing has been pried open."

Jinpei Matsuda's last words caught the attention of Inspector Megure.

But just like that, there is no way to catch the bomber, and there is no surveillance in the building...

"Anyway, thank you for your hard work, Brother Matsuda." Officer Megure patted Matsuda on the shoulder. "We have also questioned the residents on this floor, and it seems that none of them have a motive for committing the crime."

They will not be able to conduct a thorough investigation into this explosion today.

Officer Megure looked at Conan and the other three who were waiting anxiously by the side, and apologized, "Conan, Hattori brother... and Teacher Judy, there is no problem now, you don't have to wait here any longer."

Before the three of them could reply, Matsuda Jinpei yawned and walked past Inspector Megure: "Well, there's nothing for me to do anymore, so I'm leaving too."

Officer Memu: "..."

Can you give me some police image?
