Stay away from Conan

Chapter 1512 Former Mayor

"Because it is not a common type of cigarette on the market, I think it should be relatively easy to find out who is smoking this kind of cigarette."

In this regard, Officer Shiratori said so.

After hearing this, Officer Megure also nodded——

Indeed, there was not enough evidence to confirm Moritani Teiji's suspicion. Instead, he and others could prove Moritani Teiji's innocence when the mysterious man called.

Therefore, in this case, the direction that should be considered is people who smoke the same tobacco as Moritani Teiji.

In this way, Officer Memu looked at Gao Yuan beside him, and seemed to be watching Gao Yuan's reaction.

After seeing that Gao Yuan didn't say anything immediately, Officer Mu Mu thought that Gao Yuan had the same meaning, so he ordered the dispatch of police officers to investigate the tobacco matter.

But at this point, because of the current connection with tobacco, Gao Yuan realized that even if things deviated a lot from the original work, many details were consistent, which meant that Moritani Teiji was definitely not innocent. In other words, this time The incident must have something to do with Moritani Teiji.

In this case, we cannot simply rule out the suspicion of Moritani Teiji, but consider other possibilities——

For example, accomplices!

"Officer Megure, you can't just make such a hasty judgment that Professor Moritani is not a suspect."

In this way, after seeing that Officer Megure seemed to have completely believed that Moritani Teiji was not suspicious, Gao Yuan couldn't help but remind him aloud.

But Officer Memu couldn't help but feel a little confused about these words, and Officer Shiratori seemed a little confused now, and asked Gao Yuan:

"Mr. Akechi, do you have any prejudice against Professor Moritani? To be honest, I am very interested in architecture, and Professor Moritani is also an architecture professor I respect very much. So based on my understanding of Professor Moritani, he is like that A person who is serious about construction would not be a suspect who would endanger public safety like this!”

Having said this, Officer Shiratori made no secret of his respect for Moritani Teiji, thereby showing that he was dissatisfied with Gao Yuan's behavior against Moritani Teiji.

However, Gao Yuan has known about this for a long time. After all, Officer Shiratori respects Moritani Teiji, which is also something mentioned in the original work. And because of this relationship, Mouri Kogoro in the original work also suspected Shiratori in this incident. The police officer is the murderer.

Therefore, facing the attitude of Officer Shiratiao in front of him, Gao Yuan did not take it seriously. He just raised another possibility and said:

"Officer Shiratori, you misunderstood. As a detective, you must consider all possibilities. And now, the tobacco evidence points to Professor Moritani again, so naturally we have to consider other possibilities!

"For example, maybe the mysterious man is not acting alone, but has an accomplice?

"After all, when we met with Professor Moritani, the mysterious man's voice was still changed using a voice changer, so we actually couldn't tell who the caller was between the two calls before and after. Not the same person."

In this way, as soon as these words came out, Officer Memu couldn't help but be convinced by Gao Yuan's further speculation. He couldn't help but nodded silently, feeling that what he said made sense and asked:

"So, brother Akechi, do you still think there is something wrong with Professor Moritani?"

"yes."

Gao Yuan nodded vigorously and affirmed:

"Although Professor Moritani explained that he thought of contacting Kudo Shinichi not long ago because on the day of Sindora's press conference, he met Mr. Yusaku, which reminded him of what happened when Kudo was still active, so he wanted to Meet Kudo.

"But, Officer Megure, don't you think this explanation still doesn't fully explain why he wanted to meet Kudo when he was active before?"

"But...what reason does Professor Moritani have for targeting Kudo Shinichi? He has never met Kudo Shinichi."

In this regard, Officer Shiratori asked still unconvinced.

At this point, facing this, which is considered to be the core clue in the original work, Gao Yuan naturally knows the reasons mentioned in the original work, but...

Should I say it directly here?

So, after thinking about it for a while, Gao Yuan finally said:

"Does Officer Megure still remember the fall of the former mayor of Nishitama City?"

Suddenly, after Officer Shiratori asked, Gao Yuan turned to Officer Memu and asked this question.

In response to this question, Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori were both stunned. At the same time, Conan was also present.

"The downfall of the former mayor of Nishitama City? I remember that incident..."

"Are you talking about...Mayor Okamoto?"

Unexpectedly, when Gao Yuan mentioned this matter, Officer Mu Mu was still impressed and surprised and said:

"Yes! I remembered that this matter has something to do with Kudo... At that time, Mayor Okamoto killed a passerby with his car. As a result, his son wanted to take the blame for him, but in the end their plan to take the blame was seen through by Kudo, so Okamoto The mayor resigned sadly...

"But, what does this have to do with Professor Moritani?"

"I heard that when Mayor Okamoto was in office, he had been planning to promote the construction of a new town in Nishitama City. However, with his downfall and the replacement of the new mayor, the plan while he was in office was completely shelved. Instead, Construction of the twin-tower skyscraper led by Assemblyman Ohki Iwamatsu was approved.

"And the plan and design for the new town in Nishitama City that was shelved was designed by Professor Moritani."

"What you mean...Professor Moritani designed the architectural plan for Nishitama City's new town when Mayor Okamoto was in office. However, because Kudo saw through the culpable plan for that incident, Mayor Okamoto resigned, and Professor Moritani was also involved. His plan came to nothing, so he targeted Kudo?"

It was obvious that Officer Megure understood what Gao Yuan meant.

Moreover, Conan's eyes became extremely solemn at this moment——

right! That's right! That makes sense! Otherwise, I really can’t imagine why Moritani Teiji, a professor I have never had contact with before, suddenly contacted me...

He must have had this idea for a long time, but I suddenly disappeared, so that his plan against me was nowhere to be found. However, not long ago, because of my father's relationship, he probably judged something from my father's attitude, so he tried to write to me.

Then, because Mr. Mingzhi went to the tea party on my behalf, he further judged that I had actually been looking at my home information, so I had a direct test of today's phone call!

In this way, Conan connected everything together and found that the whole logic was very smooth. It can be seen that this may really be the truth!

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but look at Gao Yuan and realized that Gao Yuan should have tried his best to investigate the possible connection between himself and Moritani Teiji, otherwise he would not know these things...

It seems that in order to prevent my identity as Kudo Shinichi from being exposed, Mr. Akechi is more serious than himself...

Conan felt a little ashamed about this.

However, just as Takato said this, useful news came from Miwako Sato——

"Officer Megure! Peter Ford confessed that the mysterious man the children saw today was dressed like a man. Someone dressed similarly tried to buy explosives from him!"
