Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

Page 147

His outfit was very eye-catching; if he had just walked in like that, someone would definitely have noticed him.

While continuously rewinding the recording, Matsuda also recorded the characteristics of suspicious individuals and the times they appeared on a piece of paper he had found.

Just then, his phone rang again.

It's still Megure.

He told Matsuda some news.

The perpetrators' purpose in planting the bombs on the loop was most likely to destroy one of the bridges.

"A bridge? Why do you say that?"

Although Matsuda was surprised, he kept his eyes glued to the moving crowd on the screen.

“Because it was designed by the famous architect Teiji Moriya,” Megure explained. “This perpetrator may even be responsible for the recent series of arson attacks.”

Moritani Teiji?

Matsuda's brows furrowed immediately.

"Who is he? Is he involved in this case?"

"This one……"

Megure's voice sounded somewhat troubled.

Then, before Matsuda could ask any questions, he hung up the phone!

Strange, when did Inspector Megure become so smart?

It's unbelievable that the case was investigated to this extent.

Matsuda immediately became suspicious.

At this time, Uncle Sato also found the shop assistants who had worked that day.

Matsuda freezes the image at a certain moment, points to a young man in the image, and asks them a question.

"Do you remember this person? Does anyone know him?"

"No." The shop assistants all shook their heads.

However, one of them looked closely for a while and said uncertainly, "It looks like Nakamura, a college student who lives nearby."

Nakamura…

Matsuda wrote his name on the paper.

Then he pointed to the bag in Nakamura's hand on the screen.

"Do you remember what was in his bag that day?"

"Sorry, it's been several days, I really can't remember," the shop assistant shook his head.

"So did you see what time he left?" Matsuda asked again.

“I noticed that,” the clerk replied. “It was around three o’clock. He was talking to me then, saying that a TV program he wanted to watch was about to start.”

Three o'clock?

Matsuda and Uncle Sato exchanged a glance.

This timeline clearly does not match the timing of the Octogen theft.

Matsuda crossed out Nakamura's name and moved the screen to the next position.

"So, does anyone here know this person?"

They checked one by one, and when they got to the sixth person, the staff still hadn't reacted.

Uncle Sato, however, recognized the person first.

"Isn't that Teiji Moriya?"

Uncle Sato examined it carefully, then affirmed.

"Yes, it's definitely him."

"Moritani Teiji?"

"Isn't this the designer Inspector Megure just mentioned?" Matsuda looked puzzled. "You actually know him?"

"He's on TV all the time," Uncle Sato said, looking at Matsuda with a puzzled expression. "You've never seen him? He's one of the top designers in all of Japan. Don't you watch TV at all?"

"look."

Matsuda curled his lips,

His TV has been taken over by Narumi; it's basically on entertainment programs or various idol dramas all day long.

Moriya Teiji...

Thinking about his earlier doubts about Inspector Megure, Matsuda asked Uncle Sato, "By the way, is Kogoro Mouri with Inspector Megure right now?"

"gross profit?"

Uncle Sato found it strange that Matsuda suddenly asked this question.

"I wonder if this matter is related to the Mori clan?"

"It's okay, I was just thinking about something else."

Matsuda shook his head and stood up.

"I'll leave this place to you, Uncle. I'm going to check out the Moriya Teiji family's place; maybe I'll find something."

"Hey, you can't do anything reckless," Uncle Sato kindly warned. "That person is really famous. If you offend him, the media will definitely not let this kind of news go unreported."

"Don't worry," Matsuda waved his hand and walked out of the coffee shop.

He had begun to understand why Inspector Megure had suddenly become so intelligent.

It's definitely Conan and Kogoro Mouri following Inspector Megure.

With Conan's hints, Inspector Megure was able to uncover so much information.

But hasn't Megure always disliked detectives?

Why did he actually choose to hang out with Mori this time?

And it seems he's trying to keep it from me?

Is it because my position will soon be the same as his?

That fat guy was worried that I'd climb on top of him someday.

So, he plans to betray the Metropolitan Police Department detectives and defect to the detectives' side?

Thinking about this, Matsuda was also a little unsure.

By the way, where is Teiji Moriya's house?

Matsuda only remembered this crucial question after leaving the coffee shop.

"Hey, Matsuda, this is blatant slacking off."

Yumi followed him out and, seeing Matsuda's dazed back, immediately laughed and teased him.

After Matsuda turned around in surprise, Yumi shook her car keys triumphantly: "Get in my car, I know Moriya Teiji's address."

In the car, Matsuda made another phone call to Megure.

But all I heard on the other end was the dial tone indicating a busy signal.

Is that fatso deliberately ignoring my calls?

Matsuda increasingly suspected that Megure was bothered by his promotion.

But didn't he always say he didn't care?

Why did your attitude change so suddenly?

Could it be Conan or Kogoro Mouri? Is someone trying to sow discord between the Inspector and me?

Matsuda became suspicious, so he stopped calling Inspector Megure and instead dialed Uncle Sato's number.

Let him see if he can find someone to investigate whether Moriya Teiji is involved with the Japanese gunpowder depot.

If the person in the video was really Teiji Moriya

So even something as easily exposed as car theft has to be done by him personally.

This time, the culprit might really be only Teiji Moriya.

But why would this guy destroy the building he designed?

Matsuda scratched his hair in frustration.

Arriving at the Moriya residence in Yumi's car, Matsuda glanced into the yard through the iron gate.

Surprisingly, I spotted a police car belonging to the First Division.

Has Inspector Megure already found his way here?

"What should we do? Matsuda, should we knock on the door?"

Yumi also saw the car inside and immediately recognized it as a police car from the First Division.

"Knocking on the door? Don't be silly." Matsuda waved his hand at Yumi. "You should go back to the car first."

After looking around and finding no one, he immediately scrambled up the wall and nimbly climbed over it.

"Hey, Matsuda, you idiot!"

Yumi watched Matsuda go in, then nervously looked around. Seeing that no one else was paying attention, she muttered a complaint.

"You're trespassing! Get out of here while no one's watching!"

Chapter 183 It's all an act

"Don't worry, I'll come out, but not now."

Matsuda ran straight inside without looking back.

"You'd better get back in the car quickly, I'll come out and find you right away."
