Chapter 651 Sit Back and Wait?
Chapter 1521: Sit back and wait?
"What?"
Somewhat surprised, Conan couldn't help but asked doubtfully when he heard what Xiao Ai said.
In this regard, after looking through the messages received on the phone again to confirm the content, Xiao Ai said to Conan:
"According to Gao Yuan, Moritani Teiji is very paranoid about his aesthetic pursuit...
"About this, you can probably imagine it if you have seen the layout of his mansion with your own eyes and the changes he made to his name."
Saying this, Xiao Ai recalled what she saw and heard when she and Gao Yuan went to Moritani Teiji's mansion that day, and couldn't help but be extremely convinced of what Gao Yuan said -
"Paranoid about aesthetics?"
In this regard, Conan was stunned when he heard Xiao Ai's words, but then he recalled the content of Mr. Akechi's chat with Moritani Teiji when he met him for the first time in the Twin Towers skyscraper. ——
At that time, Mr. Akechi seemed to have been chatting with Professor Teiji Moritani for a while. At that time, Mr. Akechi had already mentioned that Professor Moritani Teiji’s architectural aesthetics was a British classical style that preferred completely symmetrical patterns...
"So, what conclusions can be drawn about Professor Moritani Teiji's pursuit of aesthetics?"
After thinking for a while, Conan was of course completely puzzled. He didn't know that even if he knew Moritani Teiji's style pursuit, how would it help in capturing the mysterious man?
In this regard, Xiao Ai continued:
"Well, yes.
“Because of his ultimate pursuit of architectural aesthetics, people like him may do extremely crazy things in order to erase those buildings that are stains on his design career——
"for example……"
"Use bombs to...destroy buildings that don't fit his aesthetic?"
In this way, combined with the current situation, Conan took advantage of the situation, but still said with a little confusion.
"But, the British classical style, which is a completely symmetrical design, how many such buildings are there?"
A little bit confused about what Xiao Ai meant, Dr. A Li also said in confusion.
"Of course, there is a limited scope. Those buildings designed by Teiji Moritani himself may not fully meet the original design due to various reasons during the construction process, but they are still named after Professor Teiji Moritani's design. Those buildings!”
Xiao Ai said somewhat seriously.
"In other words, he prepared so many bombs. In addition to revenge against me, he also wanted to destroy the buildings that were stains on his life!"
This time, Conan understood it——
"But, are you sure? Is such a guess too bold?"
——Just based on Moritani Teiji's persistence in architectural aesthetics, is it a bit hasty to judge the other party's behavior like this?
Conan asked:
"Furthermore, even if Moritani Teiji does have this idea, we can't be sure that he will implement it immediately, right?"
In this way, after Conan asked this question, Xiao Ai nodded firmly and replied:
"It's basically confirmed. Because just now, the police found five bombs on the railway tracks. Four of them were not placed in special locations, but only one was installed in a clearly different location - it was on the bridge."
"On the bridge?"
Hearing this, Conan asked.
"Sumida Canal Bridge, this bridge was designed by Professor Teiji Moritani. But in actuality, the bridge is not a completely symmetrical design. Therefore, if a bomb is deliberately placed here, the purpose is to blow up the actual If the engineering does not match the design of the building, it makes sense combined with Professor Moritani Teiji’s paranoid pursuit of his architectural aesthetics.”
Xiao Ai told Conan the information she just learned from Gao Yuan.
In this regard, after receiving this information, Conan also nodded silently, and he could understand the judgment made by Gao Yuan——
"Indeed, if this is the case, it is entirely possible for Moritani Teiji to take advantage of the opportunity of using bombs to create chaos, and at the same time fish in troubled waters to destroy buildings that do not conform to his aesthetic design.
"Then, after all the bombs in the ring line are dealt with, maybe his next plan is to attack similar buildings.
"In this case, what we need to do is to find those buildings that were designed by Professor Moritani Teiji but were not completely symmetrical when completed. Maybe the other party's next step is to plant explosives in those places!"
Conan said excitedly——
In this way, instead of being led by the other party and passively waiting for the mysterious person to call before deciding what to do, you can take the initiative!
Maybe, you can catch the other party in action!
Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but look at Dr. Ali and suggested to Dr. Ali:
"Dr. Agasa! Quickly find a way to find all the buildings designed by Professor Moritani and see which of them are actually not completely symmetrical after being built. These buildings may be the target locations where the other party will plant bombs next! "
In response, Dr. Ali, who understood the cause and effect, couldn't help but nodded and replied:
"Okay! However, it will take a lot of time to find it..."
Speaking of this, Dr. Agasa was a little worried that if he started looking now, he might be too late. After all, the incident of the loop line had been handled, and the mysterious man who placed the bomb would probably take the next step immediately, which means that the other party might call at any time, so he might be a little late.
In response, Conan urged:
"There is no time to hesitate, Dr. Agasa. We can only race against time to see... The location where this mysterious man placed the bomb three times, from the Green Park to the square in front of the station, and then the current loop line, the other party obviously wants to let the bomb affect more and more people. The next time he places a bomb, it will definitely be more than the loop line. If we can't catch him as soon as possible and bring him to justice, it's hard to imagine what terrible things he will do next to embarrass me..."
...
So, just as Dr. Agasa's car, Conan and others were preparing to take the next step according to Gao Yuan's guess, and at this time, they were talking to Officer Megure. Gao Yuan, who was on the same side, got the information he needed from Officer Megure.
"Officer Megure, most of the buildings designed by Professor Moriya Teiji but not built completely according to the design due to various reasons were works of Professor Moriya Teiji before he was 30 years old. I have sent you the specific list of buildings."
At this time, because he had just passed by the Beika Municipal Building, Gao Yuan thought of locking all the buildings that Moriya Teiji should want to destroy, so that he could wait in advance and wait for the other party to show up. He had already asked Officer Megure to look for such buildings, and Officer Shiratori, who was sent to investigate, quickly sent back the results.
In response, looking at the buildings on the list, Gao Yuan compared the map location and thought--
If the next bomb location is more exaggerated than the ring line, it seems that only the Beika Municipal Building will be.
But...
