Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Before he completely lost consciousness, he vaguely heard a sentence: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry."

The one who fired the shot was Longye.

In order to quickly clear the scene and get back to eat pufferfish hot pot, he decided to take Xiao Jia's suggestion and blow the place up.

So he immediately pulled out his Beretta pistol, loaded it with tranquilizer darts, and prepared to shoot Morofushi Kagemitsu.

Then, all you need to do is move the unconscious Morofushi Kagemitsu to another location, detonate the bomb, and you're all set.

That way, he'll still have time to rush back and eat a few more bites...

After tossing Morofushi Kagemitsu to a safe location, Ryūno immediately ordered, "That's enough, Jia. Start it up."

【receive. 】

"Bang! Boom!!"

Upon hearing the sound, Longye did not turn around but flew straight into the distance.

The system notification for task completion also sounded at that moment: [Task completed, reward issued.]

After glancing at the reward he had just received in his system inventory, Longye paused for a moment, then gave a strange smile.

—【A: One grenade, Destiny Coins: 30】

……

After a few minutes

Pufferfish restaurant

Seeing Longye finally return, Xiaolan asked in confusion, "Longye, why did you take so long? The hot pot has been served for a while now. If you hadn't come back, we would have eaten it all."

"Sorry, sorry~ I just took a break outside the store to get some fresh air."

Wow, this looks delicious!

After saying that, Longye stared at the hot pot on the table and immediately sat down.

Then, using chopsticks, he picked up a translucent slice of pufferfish and placed it into the pot.

……

The next day

Longye went to the electronics market to buy a good camera.

He simply intended to take the camera to Teiji Moriya's residence.

Before leaving the Moriya family yesterday, he redeemed several listening devices from the system store.

While Professor Moriya wasn't looking, he secretly installed a bugging device in Moriya's home.

Just now, I heard some interesting self-talk coming from the bugging device.

"Momotaro, it seems this is the correct password. Tonight, we'll be able to get our hands on those explosives!"

"Hmph! Farewell to those aesthetically unappealing buildings..."

Upon hearing this, Longye immediately went to the electronics store and bought the camera with powerful video recording capabilities.

After arriving above the Moriya Mansion, Tatsuno specifically asked Xiao Jia to scan it.

Apart from Teiji Moriya, there was no one else in the entire mansion.

Even the butler and servants who appeared at afternoon tea were not there.

It seems that Moriya Teiji must have found an excuse to send those people away in order to achieve his own plan.

Or perhaps, he has always managed this large mansion by himself without hiring anyone.

The servants on the day of the tea party were hired on the spot to entertain the many guests.

But none of that matters.

Since there was no one else in the entire mansion except for Professor Moriya, it would be easier for Tatsuno to infiltrate.

A moment later, Tatsuno walked into Professor Moriya's room.

Beside Moriya Teiji was a coat and several costume props.

Seeing that his hand was already reaching for his coat, Longye immediately picked up his camera and turned on the video recording function.

Professor Moriya's entire disguise process was recorded by him.

After the transformation was complete, Professor Moriya headed towards the door, and Tatsuno immediately slipped into the shadows to the side.

He carried his camera and followed Professor Moriya out of the mansion.

The two arrived at the Japanese gunpowder depot one after the other.

Despite the long journey, Professor Moriya never noticed Tatsuno behind him.

Besides Professor Moriya's mind being preoccupied with "stealing gunpowder," it was also because of a skill that Tatsuno had never used before—A: assassination.

Upon seeing Professor Moriya arrive at the gate of the gunpowder depot, Tatsuno's attention immediately became focused.

He had always been curious about how Professor Moriya managed to steal the explosives from the gunpowder depot all by himself.

Professor Sengo had no weapons on him, only a large sack.

How did he manage to steal a large number of bombs from a heavily guarded powder magazine?

How did they manage to bring such a heavy bomb back?

Ryūno stared intently at Professor Moriya's figure.

Professor Moriya walked confidently to the entrance of the gunpowder depot.

After entering the password on the electronic device next to it, the door to the gunpowder depot was opened directly.

Then he walked openly through the gate from the security room at the entrance.

Seeing this, Longye was stunned.

What happened to the supposedly tight defenses?

Why is there no one in the security room at the entrance?

What do you mean? The security guards go off duty at night, right?

Are you kidding me? This is a powder keg!

During the day, when no one comes to steal the explosives, the security guards work diligently.

When someone sneaks in at night to steal explosives, the security guard goes home after get off work, right?

Then what is the point of this security room?

After making his rant, Longye quietly followed them.

There were hardly any surveillance cameras inside the gunpowder depot.

The few surveillance cameras that were available were not pointed at the warehouse where the gunpowder was stored, but at several empty corners.

Seeing this, Tatsuno silently followed Professor Moriya.

He was too tired to complain anymore.

Inside the warehouse

Professor Moriya turned on the warehouse lights, then took out a bag from his pocket and put all the explosives labeled "ammonium nitrate" on the shelf into the bag.

Before long, Professor Moriya walked out of the warehouse carrying the bag.

After leaving the warehouse, he walked directly towards the gate and left.

Longye captured all of this clearly with his camera.

After watching Professor Moriya's figure disappear into the distance carrying the explosives, Ryūno opened the system and looked at the skill he had just acquired.

—A: A hand grenade

[Randomly select a grenade of a different type from the grenade storage. Only one grenade can exist at a time.]

Longye placed his consciousness into the grenade's space.

He randomly picked one from the dazzling array of different grenades.

……

Seeing that Professor Moriya had already walked away, Tatsuno looked longingly towards the security room at the entrance.

"Anyway, there's no one inside, so there's no point in keeping this security room."

"How about... we give it a try?"

Longye waited a while longer, making sure that Professor Senko could no longer hear the commotion from this side.

He flew into the air, released the safety on the grenade, and pulled the pin. He then threw the grenade directly towards the security room.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang and dust, the security room was destroyed.

To Longye's surprise, the grenade explosion produced little to no sparks, making it far less visually appealing than the explosives.

Chapter 84 Art is all about...symmetry!

midnight

Back home, Teiji Moriya carefully placed the bag full of gunpowder on the floor of his study.

Looking at the gunpowder, his eyes were filled with joy and excitement.

Soon, soon!

Once he turns this gunpowder into bombs, he can blow up those aesthetically unappealing buildings he once constructed!

Those mortals simply don't understand!

Perfectly symmetrical architecture is true beauty!

With that in mind, Moriya Teiji removed his disguise, took off his gloves, and walked to the table, ready to start making the plastic bomb right now.

In the shadows, a camera is silently recording all of this.
