Chapter 618 The Reason for Xiaolan’s Trouble Is Actually

Chapter 1488 The reason why Xiaolan is in trouble is...

Thinking that not only was this incident related to the original Risen Valley Emperor II, but also the organization seemed to be related to this gunpowder depot, Gao Yuan had to pay more attention to this matter.

However, Gao Yuan still felt a little confused about the behavior of so many police officers gathering here. After looking around at the people present, Gao Yuan said doubtfully:

"Well, Officer Memu, so many police officers are here..."

——Since it is not because of the theft of gunpowder raw materials, then it is not to trace the whereabouts of the stolen gunpowder, but to verify whether the gunpowder raw materials used in the previous explosions really flowed out from here, then...

Is it to check inventory?

In this case, so many police forces are needed?

Therefore, Gao Yuan asked this question.

In this regard, Officer Mumu did not hide anything from Gao Yuan, but said slightly helplessly:

"Brother Mingzhi, there is something strange about this matter. We received the news last night and came here to check the composition of the gunpowder raw materials. It is indeed as investigated. The explosive raw materials used in the previous explosions came from here.

"However, if someone stole the materials here, then the inventory of gunpowder should not match..."

"But actually, the inventory...is okay?"

Listening to Officer Memu's words, Gao Yuan understood somewhat and said tentatively.

In response, Officer Memu couldn't help but nodded and said:

"Yes. This is the crux of the problem. After a simple investigation last night, the inventory of the Dongyang Gunpowder Depot is consistent with the actual recorded inventory, and there is no shortage problem.

"However, the explosive raw materials used in so many previous explosions are produced by the Toyo Gunpowder Depot, so we are planning to conduct a thorough investigation of the gunpowder depot's inventory to ensure that there is no problem with the inventory."

In this way, Gao Yuan nodded and understood the situation——

There is no problem with the inventory on the surface, but it does not mean that there is no problem with the actual inventory. The gunpowder in stock may be adulterated, which balances the inventory on the surface.

Therefore, to thoroughly find out the inventory of the entire gunpowder depot, we really need enough manpower...

"There has been no follow-up progress in tracing the origin of the explosives in the previous explosions, and this time the clues from the Toyo Gunpowder Depot are our only direction."

As Officer Megure said, he ordered his police officers to start preparing to conduct a comprehensive search of the powder magazine.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan also said:

"In this case, Officer Memu, if there is any need for my help in this matter, I will definitely help... After all, I have also witnessed the previous incidents, especially...

"It was the explosion of the Ferris wheel. If we don't find out, I won't be willing to do it."

When he said this, Gao Yuan was indeed telling the truth——

Although it was clear that the explosion was probably related to Kamu, and Kamu had been silenced by Hanada Emi and Belmod, the explosion of the Ferris wheel did almost put himself, Xiao Ai and Moroha in danger, so in the end Gao Yuan's position, it is natural to want to understand the truth.

Therefore, it was natural for this statement to make Officer Memu nodded affirmatively and looked at Gao Yuan seriously. He knew that the explosion almost implicated Gao Yuan and the others, so he completely understood Gao Yuan's desire to assist in the investigation.

Therefore, Officer Mu Mu replied:

"Okay. I will inform you if anything happens, brother Mingzhi!"

So, naturally, it was not Gao Yuan's turn to worry about checking the inventory, so he had to leave first. Gao Yuan still had to get through the upcoming tea party with Teiji Moritani -

Although he cannot face Teiji Moritani based on the clues from the Toyo Gunpowder Store in advance, as long as Teiji Moritani remains the same as the original work, he wants to take revenge on Kudo Shinichi and destroy the buildings he once participated in the design that do not conform to his aesthetics. , he will take action after all...

"Huh? Something seems wrong."

Just as he was thinking this, Gao Yuan suddenly realized a problem——

If there is really no problem with the inventory of the Toyo Gunpowder Depot, then where will the explosives that Teiji Moritani plans to blow up the building come from?

You know, according to the plot of the original work, Moritani Teiji stole a large amount of explosive materials from the Toyo Gunpowder Depot, and then caused a series of subsequent incidents. He even laid a large amount of explosives on the tram tracks to force the running trams. You must drive at a certain speed and cannot stop, causing great social panic.

Therefore, according to the original work, Moritani Teiji should have prepared a sufficient amount of explosives before the incident, and it is by no means an amount that can be easily obtained.

But now, not to mention that the Toyo Gunpowder Depot in the original work was stolen, even after it was confirmed that the explosives for the previous explosions were leaked from here, now the inventory of the gunpowder depot is apparently fine, so this can be seen It’s already a bit complicated.

In addition, the organization may also have something to do with this matter, so we have to worry that this matter may develop in a worse direction——

For example, after a police inspection, it was found that there was really no problem with the inventory.

In this case, wouldn't the clue be broken again?

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan is helpless. At least for now, he can only wait for the results of the police investigation...

…

Time passed quickly, and April 29, the day for the afternoon tea held by the Moritani family, came in a blink of an eye.

According to the agreement, Takato and Conan, as Kudo Shinichi's friends, accepted Moritani Teiji's invitation to attend the tea party held that afternoon on Kudo Shinichi's behalf.

As a result, something unexpected is——

Today, Conan missed his appointment!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mingzhi. Xiaolan insisted on taking me with her today. She said she wanted to take me to a very special dessert shop to eat cake. I really can't shirk it, so... I can't go to the afternoon tea party..."

In this way, I only heard Conan say a little helplessly on the phone.

In this regard, facing such a situation, Gao Yuan did not feel any regrets. Instead, he subconsciously thought that if Conan did not follow, maybe the development of things would not be too different?

Thinking about this possibility, Gao Yuan just replied to Conan's call:

"I know."

Then he hung up the phone.

"What? Because it was the invitation from the lady from the office, so after weighing it, he chose to eat cake with that lady?"

In this regard, after Gao Yuan hung up the phone, Xiao Ai, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't help but say this.

"Well, maybe."

Regarding this situation, Gao Yuan could only say this, and he could not 100% infer what Conan was thinking.

"However, what is certain is that Conan on the other end said that he originally wanted to invite Xiaolan to attend the tea party on his behalf, but this is probably the reason why Xiaolan refused."

In this way, Gao Yuan guessed——

I wanted to take Conan to eat cake, and just for this reason, I rejected "Kudo Shinichi's" request...

"Hmm... After knowing that the other party may have known Edogawa's true identity, this matter seems very subtle!"

In this regard, Xiao Ai said with a slight smile...
