Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

The car that Takane Zun was in exploded and fell into the water, leaving Conan and the others stunned.

Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.

Conan followed Hattori Heiji and Officer Otaki to the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, where he met Hattori Hanzo, the father of Hattori Heiji, and Toyama Kazuha's father, Toyama Ginjiro.

Hattori Heiji and Officer Otaki told Hattori Hanzo what had just happened.

Hattori Hanzo said with narrowed eyes: "I see, I roughly know the circumstances of the case. The explosion did not affect ordinary people, right?"

Officer Otaki replied: "Yes, this is a blessing in disguise."

Toyama Ginjiro asked, "I heard that Mr. Maori's daughter was almost hit by a car in order to protect my daughter Kazuha. How is she?"

Officer Otaki said: "Lan is very skilled and jumped over the speeding car. But just in case, we still let her go to the hospital for a check-up. It should be nothing serious."

Hearing what Officer Otaki said, Toyama Ginjiro felt relieved: "Really? I'm glad she's okay."

At the Naniwa Police Hospital.

Mouri Ran has been discharged from the hospital, and Mouri Kogoro and Kamiya Minatsuki are standing on her left and right.

Mao Lilan said helplessly: "Dad, Mr. Kamiya, you don't have to accompany me, I'm really fine."

Maori Kogoro said excitedly: "What did you say? You were almost hit by a car!"

Kamiya Kaitsuki said sinisterly: "If that man hadn't been killed in the explosion, I would have killed him anyway!"

Mao Lilan's mouth twitched: "By the way, how are those children?"

Maori Kogoro replied: "They are staying with Kazuha. Well, it's time for me and Kamiya to go back to the investigation headquarters."

Mao Lilan reminded: "No, we still have to shoot later."

Maori Kogoro and Kamiya Minatsuki looked at each other at the same time: "Filming?"

Suddenly the two of them remembered: "Ah! Shoot!"

Mao Lilan sighed, she really forgot about it as soon as she turned around.

Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.

Hattori Hanzo turned to look at Officer Otaki and asked, "So, have you found out why Mr. Yonekura's car exploded?"

Officer Otaki held the test results and reported: "A bomb made of acetone peroxide and other substances caused the explosion, and the bomb was installed in the trunk of the car."

Toyama Ginjiro asked, "Has anyone found the detonator yet?"

Officer Otaki replied: "We haven't found it yet, but this type of bomb is very unstable. It's possible that the collision of the car detonated the bomb. I'm very sorry, it's our fault."

"I'll apologize later..." Hattori Hanzo looked at Officer Ayanokouji who was sitting on the sofa in silence with a sharp look: "I think it's about time for you to tell us why you, a police officer from the Kyoto Prefectural Police, are there."

Officer Ayanokouji glanced at Hattori Hanzo and said, "The day before yesterday, a traffic accident occurred on the road near Takaraike in Kyoto. A male driver died on the spot in the accident. The man's name is Onda Takashi, and he is a screenwriter."

Officer Ayanokouji took out a photo.

The man in the photo has blond hair, wears a gold necklace, and has pierced ears.

Looking at the photo of Onda Takashi, Hattori Heiji said in surprise: "Eh, I've never heard of this person."

Officer Ayanokouji continued, "He's called a screenwriter, but he's just a title. He usually lives by squandering his parents' money. He has a mansion in Iwakura and two cars. It can be said that he lives a very affluent life."

Officer Ayanokouji placed Onda Takashi's photo on the table, and then took out another photo. In the photo, Onda Takashi was standing between two sports cars, one red and one blue.

Toyama Ginjiro looked at the photo and asked, "So, may I ask, how did this man get into an accident?"

"He fell off a cliff along with his car on the road near his home. He failed to turn on the mountain road and rushed down, so the local police station ruled this case as a traffic accident."

As Officer Ayanokouji spoke, he took out a map of Kyoto. There was a red cross on the map, representing the place where Onda Takashi had the accident.

There are also two photos, one of a bend in the road and another of a car burning after falling off a cliff.

Hattori Heiji looked at the map and photos carefully and asked, "Have you confirmed that the person driving the car is Mr. Onda? It looks like the car is burning very fiercely. The body should be difficult to identify, right?"

Officer Ayanokouji replied, "We collected his intact fingerprints and compared them with his records at the dentist. It seems that he is not at fault."

Hattori Heiji frowned and said, "But that's not right. This curve doesn't look very sharp, and he should be used to driving on this road. How could something go wrong?"

"I heard that Mr. Onda seemed to be very drunk at the time."

Toyama Ginjiro looked at Officer Ayanokouji and asked, "I see, it was a traffic accident caused by drunk driving, but you don't think so, otherwise you wouldn't be here, right?"

Officer Ayanokouji nodded and said, "Yes, even if he was drunk, he would have stepped on the brakes, but there were no brake marks on the ground, so I don't think this was a simple traffic accident."

Hattori Heiji pinched his chin and guessed, "That means someone tampered with the brakes of the car."

Officer Ayanokouji agreed: "It is possible."

At this time, Conan raised a question: "But it seems that Uncle Onda has two cars."

Officer Ayanokouji answered Conan: "Well, yes, I drive a red sports car on even-numbered days and a blue sports car on odd-numbered days."

Conan quickly asked, "What sports car was he driving when the accident happened?"

"He was driving a red sports car."

Conan wondered, "That's strange, but the day before yesterday should have been an odd-numbered day."

Officer Ayanokouji explained, "It seems that the blue sports car had some problems, so he drove out in another red sports car the day before. The blue sports car really had some problems, because we did not find any signs of damage to the brakes of that car."

Conan put forward his own guess: "If someone really tampered with the car, why did he only tamper with the red sports car? If he wanted to kill Uncle Onda as soon as possible, he should have tampered with both sports cars!"

Hattori Heiji asked, "So, there is indeed something wrong with the case of Baochi, but what is the connection between that case and your visit to Osaka this time?"

"Well, when I was investigating Mr. Onda, I found out that he had had contact with Mr. Yonekura in the past, so I wanted to come here to ask Mr. Yonekura about the situation, but at that time, the Nichimi TV station had been blocked. Although I could have gone in directly, I was worried that it would cause trouble, so I didn't contact you."

At that time in the lobby of Nichimi TV, the gaze that Haibara Ai felt was the gaze of Officer Ayanokouji.
