Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Chapter 110: Explosion on the Eve of the Summit

In Dr. Agasa's house, Conan and Haibara Ai sat quietly on either side of the somewhat old sofa, their eyes fixed on the TV screen, watching the live report.

"Now an urgent news interruption, 'Latest news, a large-scale explosion has just occurred at the international conference venue where the Tokyo Summit will be held next week. Please see the footage captured by the surveillance camera at the time.'"

As the images switched, the explosion scene appeared before our eyes. The raging fire and billowing smoke were shocking.

Seeing this, Conan stood up and ran to the busy Dr. Agasa: "Doctor, this might be a terrorist attack."

When Dr. Agasa heard Conan's words, he hurried to the TV and frowned as he watched the report on TV: "Isn't the summit next week? How could this happen? It must be an accident. Oh, there are even police casualties... It's really worrying."

Just then, three children from the Junior Detective League called Dr. Agasa outside. Dr. Agasa responded and left in a hurry.

Conan continued to stare at the TV, thinking rapidly in his mind, muttering to himself: "So, if such a terrorist attack was carried out before the summit, then the security during the actual summit would definitely be tighter."

Huihara Ai had been concentrating on watching the TV. Her brows were tightly knitted together as she whispered softly, "The surveillance video after the explosion."

Conan turned his head and looked at Huiyuan Ai in confusion, "What did you take pictures of?"

Huihara Ai's expression became more serious: "It was only a moment, maybe I saw it wrong. That person worked at Poirot, I remember his name was Amuro Toru, is that right?"

When Conan heard the name, he was stunned, "Mr. Amuro."

His eyes became deep, and countless questions and speculations surged in his mind: [Why did Amuro Toru appear there? What kind of mystery and hidden story is there? Things seem to have become more complicated and difficult.]

In the Metropolitan Police Department, after Kudo Yuki met with Kazami Yuya, Kuroda Heibei, with a serious expression, took Kudo Yuki to a small room with a clear view of the meeting room.

Kudo Yuki walked into the room and sat on the sofa with a smile on her face, ready to enjoy a big show. She was in a position where she could clearly hear every word coming from the conference room.

At this time, everyone in the conference room was having a heated discussion about the explosion. Sato Miwako stood up and said, "According to the results of the investigation, no explosives were found at the scene."

Ogino Ayami then stood up, holding a document in her hand and showing it to the police officers present: "There is a local restaurant on the first floor of the International Conference Hall, and there is a kitchen in the basement. This is exactly the explosion site, and a large amount of gas was detected there."

After thinking for a while, Miwako Sato expressed her guess: "Based on this, I think it can be concluded that it was a gas explosion."

Kuroda Bei sat there, his hands folded together, his elbows firmly resting on the table, frowning slightly: "The building has just been built, it is hard to imagine a gas leak."

The police officer in front of the big screen dragged the big screen while explaining the relevant information to the crowd, "In fact, this gas pipe is the latest model, and the gas valve can be turned on and off through the Internet."

Officer Megure looked at the big screen with a puzzled look on his face, "So, why did the gas leak happen?"

Miwako Sato reported truthfully: "This system may have been faulty from the beginning."

Kurodabei's tone remained calm: "Haven't you checked it?"

Ogino Ayami immediately responded, "It was originally scheduled for today."

Hearing this, Officer Megure and Kuroda Heibei straightened up immediately. Officer Megure said anxiously, "What's going on?"

Officer Takagi stood up and explained in detail: "The adjustment of the Internet environment of Haizhiya was supposed to be carried out today, and it was scheduled to be carried out after the security inspection of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Ministry of Public Security this morning."

Ida Kou sat nearby, thinking: "In that case, the possibility of this being an accident is very high."

Officer Megure nodded. "On May 1st next week, dignitaries from all countries will gather at the venue. If it is a terrorist attack against the summit, it would be meaningless if we don't execute it then."

Miwako Sato then reported on the relevant situation: "Regarding the venue of the summit, it has been decided to change the location due to this incident."

After that, the three of them slowly sat back in their chairs. All the police officers were talking in low voices, and the conference room was filled with a buzz of whispers.

At this moment, Yuya Kazami, with gauze and bandages on his face, had just treated his wounds. He pushed open the door of the conference room and shouted, "Report."

Kurodabei remained calm, "Tell me your affiliation and name first."

Yuya Kazami walked down the stairs steadily. "Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Department, Yuya Kazami. We are still investigating the ignition material that caused the gas explosion."

Ida Kou sat down and added: "The Criminal Division is now investigating the electrical equipment."

Yuya Kazami walked to a position closer to Kuroda Heibei and Inspector Megure and stopped. "Oil will catch fire. There have been examples of this in the past."

Officer Megure frowned slightly, "Did you find any omissions in the project?"

"No. However, we found burnt fingerprints on the door of the high-voltage cable box."

Kurodabei said calmly, clasping his hands together, "In other words, these are fingerprints from before the explosion?"

Yuya Kazami waved a projection pen at the big screen while reporting the latest results of the investigation, "Yes. The only people who entered the site were those related to the project and our Public Security Department who conducted a security inspection this morning.

Therefore, after comparing the burnt fingerprints with the fingerprints of the engineering-related personnel and the police officers in the database, it was found that they matched the fingerprints of Maori Kogoro, who was once a member of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division. "

After hearing this, Officer Megure stood up immediately, unable to believe it: "How is this possible?"

When all the police officers heard this conclusion, they stood up, their faces filled with shock and doubt, and talked in low voices. There was an uproar in the conference room.

After the meeting, Kudo Yuki walked out of the small room. She looked at Kuroda Hei with a smile and said, "Manager Kuroda, do you need any help?"

Kuroda Bei's expression was a little more relaxed at this time: "Kudo, then you can follow Kazami Yuya to help."

Then, Kudo Yuki followed Kazami Yuya and left quickly. When she was about to close the door, she suddenly turned around and said, "Old senior, you should take a rest first. The bruises at the corners of your eyes are showing."

After she finished speaking, she disappeared from the doorway.

Kuroda Bei stood up and said, "This girl is always in a hurry. She has to find a reason to let people take a break."

He walked towards the next room, "Well, let's take a nap." As the door closed gently, the Metropolitan Police Department temporarily returned to peace.

After a cup of tea, Kudo Yuki followed Kazami Yuya, and behind them, Ogino Ayami, Sato Miwako, and Officer Takagi also came to the Mori Detective Agency. Then, they began a careful search.

Maori Kogoro shouted excitedly: "International conference hall on artificial land, I have never been to such a hell of a place!"

Ogino Aya actually followed orders and produced a search warrant. "But, Mr. Maori's fingerprints were indeed found at the scene."

Maori Kogoro shouted at the top of his voice: "It's impossible to get better!"

At this moment, Conan and Mao Lilan stood quietly by, Mao Lilan looked puzzled: "Dad, did you get drunk again and sneak in without permission?"

Maori Kogoro was a little annoyed and unwilling to cooperate. "I told you, I have never been to that kind of place. No matter how much you check, it will be a waste of time."

Yuya Kazami walked steadily to the side of Conan and Ran Maoli, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "Excuse me."

Kudo Yuki saw that when Conan was unaware, Kazami Yuya took the opportunity to take out Conan's other mobile phone, installed something into the phone with a USB flash drive, then put the phone back on the ground and searched in other directions.

Kudo Yuki thought to herself: [The word "disrespectful" should be because Yuya Kazami followed Zero's instructions and provided help in secret.]

Conan glanced at Yuya Kazami and found that he had injuries on his face, while his sister Kudo Yuki was standing next to him, and the other police officers were conducting searches.

So Conan walked up to her and said, "Sister Xue, Mr. Kazami has a wound on his face. Is that okay?"

Kudo Yuki leaned close to Conan's ear and lowered her voice: "He was at the scene when the explosion happened."

Just then, the brother and sister heard the sound of Mao Lilan calling Conan's cell phone.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Conan made up an excuse and ran away. He ran all the way to the top of the stairs, picked up the phone, and held the voice changer in his hand: "What's the matter? Is your father suspected by the police?"

Kudo Yuki stood there, listening to Mao Lilan's voice: "Well, I think something went wrong."

"I understand. I'll look into it too." Then he hung up the phone.

Kudo Yuki looked at Mao Lilan and thought to herself: "This couple is getting better and better at working together."

After Conan hung up the phone, he hurriedly called Dr. Agasa: "Doctor, I need your help with something."

Then, he told Dr. Agasa the specific situation in detail, and hurried back to the Mori Office.

As soon as he entered the office, Conan saw a mobile phone on the ground. He quickly picked it up and put it in his pocket.

At this moment, Kogoro Maori's face was filled with impatience: "How long are these guys going to make trouble?"

Officer Gao Mu scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm sorry."

Kudo Yuki walked over to Mao Lilan and asked for a piece of white paper. Then she took out a marker and wrote carefully on the paper:

Please cooperate with the investigation and we will find the real culprit. Don't tell anyone and return it to the person after watching it.

After finishing, Kudo Yuki put the pen back into her pocket. At the same time, she used telepathy to talk in her mind: "Shushu, there are short-term props in the points mall. Can you see the handwriting of the information marker on the paper?"

"Yes, it lasts for 5 minutes."

"Rat, buy it and use it on Maori Kogoro."

"Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for successfully purchasing the handwriting revealing item. It costs 300 points and the item has been used."

Then, Kudo Yuki walked up to Maori Kogoro and said politely: "Excuse me for interrupting, I want to talk to Mr. Maori alone."

Officer Takagi nodded, and Kudo Yuki handed the paper to Maori Kogoro, and signaled him with his eyes to open it. Maori Kogoro read it and handed the paper to Kudo Yuki.

I saw that Kogoro Mouri's expression gradually calmed down, but he still showed a hint of unhappiness: "Really, you guys check it out." After saying that, he stood aside, depressed and no longer spoke.

Kudo Yuki tore the paper into pieces and threw them into the trash can.

Conan had been observing his sister's actions silently. He quickly walked up to Kudo Yuki and said, "Sister Yuki, let's chat. And Officer Takagi."

Kudo Yuki was slightly stunned, then came back to her senses. She looked at Conan, then at Officer Takagi, then nodded and agreed.

In this way, the three of them came under the bridge together.

Officer Gao Mu walked to the bench and sat down with a slightly tired look. He cleared his throat and began to recount what happened: "Although our Criminal Division, Public Security Division, and Security Division are all responsible for on-site inspections, it happened that when the explosion occurred, it was the Public Security Division that was primarily responsible."

Conan stood aside, one foot on the skateboard, swaying back and forth, "That's why Detective Kazami was injured."

Officer Gao Mu's face flashed with solemnity. "Yes, he is lucky. Fortunately, he was only slightly injured because he was on duty outside the building at the time. But those police officers who were still in the building..."

Conan turned his head and looked at Officer Takagi: "I saw on the news that there was also a death."

Officer Takagi's expression remained calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. He sighed, "Although I shouldn't say this, the victims were only police officers, and no ordinary people were involved. From a certain perspective, this may really be a blessing in disguise."

Conan mused, "If such an explosion occurred during the summit, it would cause a worldwide commotion."

Officer Takagi sighed helplessly: "Indeed, although it was because of the explosion before the summit, the Metropolitan Police Department, especially the Ministry of Public Security, has been criticized a lot. There is nothing we can do about it."

Conan's face was full of confusion, "Accident?"

Officer Takagi quickly denied it and waved his hands: "No, according to the situation at the scene, it should have been treated as an accident."

Conan began to ask the question that had been on his mind for a long time: "Didn't Uncle Kogoro's fingerprints be found at the scene?"

Officer Takagi hastily added: "That was found by Mr. Kazami. It was this discovery that suddenly increased the possibility of the incident and made things more complicated."

Conan touched his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought, "Detective Kazami."
