I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Moriya Teiji:?

Wait a minute, isn't the source of that sound a little off?

Before Moriya Teiji could say anything, a hand was already on his shoulder.

Then, Chen En said in a low voice,

"So, you admit you stole the bomb?"

The plan has changed.

They're still using listening devices and surveillance cameras?

Forget about using a hammer, I'll just beat up Teiji Moriya and make him reveal the location of the bomb, then report it to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and Moriya will be locked up for life.

Why would I go through all that trouble?

A single thought arises in the mind, and suddenly the world opens up before you!

Chen En raised his hand and inserted a needle.

Dr. Agasa's specially made anesthetic needle instantly put Teiji Moriya into a peaceful sleep.

He took out a coffee cup from a hidden compartment in his storage belt with one hand and drank it all in one gulp.

With his other hand, he directly retrieved the Holy Sword of Kindness from the hidden compartment.

Next, it's time for interrogation.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Inspector Megure was packing up to leave work when he received an emergency call transferred from the operator.

Feeling a bit frustrated from working overtime, Inspector Megure picked up the receiver, about to ask what was going on.

Then he heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

"I am Teiji Moriya."

"I stole the bombs from the explosives depot and hid them in a warehouse. I turned them all into plastic bombs, intending to use them to blow up multiple locations, including the Tokyo Loop Railway and the Beika City Hall."

"If you can do that, then come find me at the warehouse!"

Mu Mu Police Department:?

Dude, this is a public safety incident, shouldn't it be under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Public Security Bureau?

And why are you so brazen in committing crimes?

Isn't that a bit too much?

Chapter 83 What? TV Tokyo isn't showing anime anymore?

Police cars from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department sped past the Mouri Detective Agency.

Kogoro Mouri, who was having a few drinks, turned his head in confusion to look at the police car speeding past. What was going on so late?

Why are so many police cars being deployed at once? Is Phantom Thief Kid out again or what?

Kogoro Mouri turned around and called out to Ran Mouri.

"Ran, turn on the TV for me and see if Phantom Thief Kid has something going on today."

Why are there so many police cars on the road today?

Ran Mouri, who was washing the pots and pans for the late-night snack, responded.

She dried her hands with a towel before pressing the remote control.

Surprisingly, TV Tokyo, which was originally on, was not broadcasting any anime.

Instead, it's broadcasting live updates on the case!

"Oh no, Dad! Look, something terrible has happened!"

"TV Tokyo isn't airing any anime!"

"Ran Mouri exclaimed."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri, still holding a beer can in one hand, suddenly turned his head to look at the television.

What? TV Tokyo isn't airing anime anymore?

That's really serious.

As is well known, TV Tokyo never switches to news from other TV stations; it only broadcasts anime.

The fact that TV Tokyo has stopped broadcasting anime shows that this matter is indeed very serious.

"what? What?"

Conan, who was about to go to bed, slid downstairs and came to the side of the meeting room.

He looked up at the television and saw the host introducing the situation.

"At 11:45 PM, Teiji Moriya, a famous architect in Beika Town, announced his criminal plan to bomb the Beika Municipal Building to Inspector Megure of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!"

"He claimed that all the explosives stolen from the previous explosives depot were stolen by him, and that he had manufactured them all into plastic explosives!"

"All of these actions stemmed from Teiji Moriya's desire for revenge against Shinichi Kudo, who reported Mayor Okamoto of Nishitama City for murder and imprisoned him!"

"Everyone, the situation is extremely critical. Let's continue to follow up on the reports!"

I was just wondering what could be so urgent.

Upon hearing that he was involved, Conan was completely stunned.

Mayor Okamoto of Nishitama City?

Yes, it seems there was someone he sent to jail.

But what does this have to do with Teiji Moriya? He's never even met Teiji Moriya, and Teiji Moriya is already going this far, trying to take his life? Are you kidding me?

The helicopter used for the live television broadcast is continuing its journey toward the warehouse that Teiji Moriya mentioned.

It seemed as if to confirm that what he had said in the previous emergency call was true.

A sudden burst of light and flame erupted from the deserted area near the warehouse, startling the presenter and cameraman aboard the live television helicopter.

If they had previously thought it might just be a false alarm.

This explosion definitively proves that the person who passed on the crucial information to them was right; Moriya Teiji really was the bomb thief, and he was going to blow up the Beika City Hall!

Conan frowned more and more as he looked at the scene before him.

That's strange, really strange.

If Moriya Teiji really stole so much explosives and even devised a plan to blow up the Beika City Hall because he wanted revenge, then why did he tell the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department about it?

Why use explosives in an uninhabited area near the warehouse to prove that what you said is true?

"Could it be..."

Conan suddenly thought of a bizarre possibility.

If it weren't Teiji Moriya who declared war on the police, but someone else using Teiji Moriya's voice...

That seems to make sense now!

"Is Mr. Teiji Moriya actually going to take revenge on Shinichi?!"

Ran Mouri covered her mouth in surprise.

She quickly pulled out the invitation to the Moriya tea party on the afternoon of May 3rd from her bag.

I saw the invitation in Ran Mouri's hand.

Conan's eyes widened even more.

Because it's clearly stated on the invitation.

Teiji Moriya invited him to a tea party at Moriya Villa on the afternoon of May 3rd!

No, this invitation was sent to me, why is it with you...?

Conan had just thought of this when he suddenly realized something.

Oh, right, Ran goes to the Kudo residence to clean from time to time. She probably glanced at the mailbox at that time and then put it away. Honestly... she didn't even tell him beforehand...

But why May 3rd? Is May 3rd some special date?

Just as Conan was thinking this...

Ran Mouri continued,

"May 4th is Shinichi's birthday."

"I was planning to invite Shinichi to a tea party on the 3rd, and then go to Cinema No. 1 below the Beika City Hall to watch a movie with Shinichi that night. I never expected Mr. Moriya to do something so cruel..."

Hmm? Going to Cinema No. 1 at the Beika Municipal Building on the evening of May 3rd?

Could it be that Teiji Moriya is planning to confirm on the afternoon of May 3rd whether I'm going to the Beika City Hall to see a movie, and then find an opportunity to blow me and the Beika City Hall up together?!

Conan was startled when he realized this.

Damn it, this is no ordinary criminal; we must strike hard!

Kogoro Mouri also put his beer aside and sat down with a serious expression.

He was a former detective with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Although he has now resigned, his heart is still with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Now that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has to deal with such a serious situation, how could he not pay attention to it?

"I'm not sleeping tonight, the big one is coming!"

"I can't believe it," Kogoro Mouri said nervously.

Anyway, I'll be catching up on sleep tomorrow morning, so what's the big deal?
