Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 120: The First Sensation of Malice

After Maori Kogoro agreed, Moriya Teiji reached into his pocket and pulled out a stack of papers: "This is the information of those three people. The pass order is a noun composed by the three of them. There are five hiragana in total."

At this point, Emperor Moriya handed out the papers in his hand to the guests around him one by one: "The time limit is 3 minutes. If possible, please guess~"

After getting the paper with the "secret code" written on it, Makino took a quick look at the contents.

On the paper were three people's names, blood types, dates of birth and interests.

Since he still remembered the answer to the puzzle, after confirming the birth dates of the three people, he put the paper on the table aside.

Rather than solving the puzzle, Makino was more concerned about whether the answer to the puzzle was the code for the Japanese gunpowder depot.

This doesn't seem to be explained in detail in the original book.

He only knew that after the tea party, Moriya Teiji stole the Oriental gunpowder depot and set fire to the Kuroda family.

However, considering that he specifically invited Kudo Shinichi to the tea party, there is a high possibility that the code of this puzzle is the code of the gunpowder depot.

——Because Moriya Teiji has a grudge against Kudo Shinichi.

A few years ago, Teiji Moriya served as the chief designer of the new town of Nishitama City. He took great pains to plan an entire new town that was "almost completely symmetrical."

However, because Kudo Shinichi solved a hit-and-run case committed by the "former mayor of Nishitama City", Okamoto, the former mayor was resigned and imprisoned.

The subsequent mayor of Nishitama City rejected Teiji Moriya's original design, which made the "symmetrical urban design" that he spent a lot of energy and time on come to nothing.

Because of this, Teiji Moriya hated the high school detective Shinichi Kudo.

If it weren't for Kudo Shinichi's meddling, the new town he envisioned might have already started construction!

He let Kudo Shinichi help him crack the code to enter the Oriental gunpowder depot without his knowledge, and then used the stolen gunpowder to make explosives to blow up his "failed architectural work" of that year, and took the opportunity to take revenge on Kudo Shinichi!

Is there a more ironic and dramatic way to take revenge?
Therefore, although there are several unreasonable points in this speculation, Makino still believes that there is a high possibility that the answer to this puzzle is related to the code of the Japanese gunpowder depot.

But now, whether this puzzle is the code of the gunpowder magazine or not is actually not that important.

From the moment he knew that Moriya Teiji would steal the gunpowder depot, this "case" could actually be declared over.

Thinking of this, Makino turned his head and looked at Conan beside him.

After seeing Conan's thoughtful expression, Makino walked over to Xiaolan and chuckled, "Xiaolan, have you noticed that these three people were born one year apart, and they all correspond to the same zodiac sign~"

Hearing this, Xiaolan immediately realized something and began to think along the lines of Makino.

After thinking for two seconds, Xiaolan said in surprise: "The zodiac signs of these three people are Monkey, Rooster and Dog!"

"That's right~ Xiaolan, don't you think these three little animals have appeared in some story?" Makino nodded.

After a brief thought, Xiaolan counted the number of hiragana in her mind and said in surprise: "Ah! I know, it's Momotaro!"

After hearing what happened to Makino and Xiaolan, Moriya Teiji came over immediately: "Oh? Miss Xiaolan, have you come up with the answer?"

Xiaolan touched the back of her head embarrassedly: "No, this is actually the answer that Brother Makino came up with!"

Makino waved his hand and chuckled, "I just told you my guess. You have to figure out the answer yourself."

Moriya Teiji glanced at Makino and Xiaolan in front of him, smiled and clapped, "Your answer is correct!"

——“Pah, pah, pah!”

Upon hearing this, all the guests immediately applauded.

Seeing that Xiaolan solved the puzzle, Conan didn't feel surprised. He knew that Xiaolan was able to solve the puzzle because of Officer Makino's hint. For Officer Makino, such a puzzle couldn't be easier.

The next second, he glanced at Maori Kogoro not far away with a playful look.

Without his help, how could this "old man" who could only hit him on the head solve such a puzzle?
At this moment, Moriya Teiji spoke again: "Since you two have solved the answer, I will invite you to visit my exhibition room!"

Hearing this, Conan ran up to Teiji Moriya and said in a childish voice, "Uncle, can I go with you? I want to visit the exhibition room too~"

Moriya Teiji looked down at Conan and said casually, "Of course you can, kid~"

……

A few minutes later, Makino and the other two, led by Moriya Teiji, arrived at the exhibition room on the second floor of the mansion.

On the walls of the exhibition room, there are dozens of architectural designs and real photos.

In addition, there is a booth covered with a huge white cloth in a corner of the room.

After seeing a familiar photo on the wall, Conan immediately said: "Isn't this the Kurokawa family's house?"

Hearing this, Makino also stepped forward and took a look at the photo that Conan was talking about.

If I remember correctly, the Kurokawa Mansion seemed to be the first building that Moriya Teiji burned down.

Makino looked at the photo carefully and indeed found the problem.

At first glance, the Kurokawa Residence looks like a symmetrical building. But if you look closely, you can see the three obviously asymmetrical chimneys on the roof.

There are two chimneys on the left roof, but only one on the right roof. Even though the house is symmetrical, the chimneys on the roof are not.

Most people don't care too much about such details.

But there is no way, since Teiji Moriya is a severely symmetrical alien.

At this time, Moriya Teiji on the side said: "I have also heard about Mr. Kurokawa, his house was designed by me shortly after my debut.

The works on this wall were all designed by me when I was around 30 years old. After all, I was immature when I was young, so please stop looking at them~"

At this point, Moriya Teiji suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Mr. Makino, Ms. Xiaolan, I see you seem to be very familiar with each other, do you also know Kudo Shinichi?"

Hearing that Teiji Moritani finally got to the point, a light flashed in Makino's eyes. This was probably the main reason why Professor Moritani invited Xiaolan and him to visit the exhibition room.

"That's right, Brother Makino is Shinichi's neighbor, and Shinichi and I grew up together." Xiaolan said with a smile.

"Oh? Is that so~" After getting this answer, a strange light flashed across Moritani Teiji's eyes.

At the same time, Makino felt a clear malice from Moriya Teiji that was directed towards himself and Xiaolan.

Makino: "..."

At this moment, Makino was in a delicate mood.

On the one hand, this was his first time to experience the "power" of the [Malice Perception] skill. While he was surprised, he was also a little delighted. This skill seemed to be more useful than he had imagined.

As for the other side…

I won't talk about Xiaolan, but this Lao Deng actually wanted to attack me?!
