Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

"Brother Matsumoto, you've been encountering cases more frequently recently than before. Is it because Brother Kudo is not here?"

Inspector Megure looked at Matsumoto Akira in front of him with suspicion, and muttered to himself: Do so-called detectives have a special ability to attract cases?

In the past, Kudo Shinichi's "ability to attract cases" was much stronger than Matsumoto Akira, so most of the cases happened around Kudo Shinichi.

Now that Kudo Shinichi is missing, Matsumoto Akira has naturally become the strongest "case attractor". Oh, by the way, brother Mori should also be added to the list!

Although this sounds quite unscientific, Inspector Megure inexplicably feels that his inference makes some sense.

"Don't look at me with those weird eyes! Okay, let's not talk about this for now. You must have received the report of the explosion, right?" Matsumoto understood Officer Megure at a glance. As soon as he saw his expression, he knew that this guy was definitely up to no good.

Officer Megure smiled awkwardly and replied, "Well, we did receive a report of the explosion, but the information is too little. Brother Matsumoto, you should have more clues, right?"

Many of the people who called the police were just ordinary citizens who subconsciously called the police when they saw an explosion.

Although people always say that the police are "salary thieves", when they are in danger, they will still ask the police for help first.

After all, the police have become "thieves", so they can't just do nothing, right?

"There are indeed some clues. The gunpowder used in this explosion is much more powerful than what an average individual would produce, so if nothing goes as expected, it should be related to the theft of the Japanese arsenal some time ago!"

Matsumoto Akira informed Inspector Megure of the information he had obtained so far.

Officer Megure frowned immediately. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke: "Brother Matsumoto, you also know about the theft case--"

Before he could finish his words, Matsumoto Akira interrupted him. He was not a stubborn righteous man and he would not interfere in matters beyond his ability.

"Of course I know! I just said it was related to the gunpowder that leaked out of the theft case, and I didn't ask you to investigate the case. There are some things that you should just turn a blind eye to!"

Matsumoto Akira knew what was going on, and Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief, but Conan on the side sighed helplessly.

Officer Megure then said, "The rest of the matter is easy! We can first investigate the flow of gunpowder!"

In fact, the police have long noticed that there have been a lot of gunpowder transactions on the Internet recently. But they can't get in touch with the person involved, and they can't solve the case, even if they know the situation.

"That's useless! The criminal should be the one who stole the Toyo Arsenal directly!" Matsumoto Akira was very clear about the direction of Inspector Megure's investigation, which was the network he had set up.

But no useful information can be obtained from it unless the police pay for the information.

However, the seller cannot obtain the buyer's information unless it is negotiated offline in advance.

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure became anxious and urged anxiously.

"So what should we do now? Brother Matsumoto, just tell us directly!"

Inspector Megure's words made Matsumoto Akira roll his eyes helplessly, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: Good guy, I thought that as a professional policeman like you with many years of experience, you would be able to work out a more relaxed plan after listening to what I said.

Who knew you didn't have any similar thoughts at all! As expected, you are the one with the legendary "Brother Fruit". As long as you can rely on your brother, you will never rely on yourself!

"Okay! It's my fault!" Matsumoto Akira rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "But I still need some time to coordinate here. During this period, I'd like to trouble Officer Megure to keep a close eye on it!"

Upon hearing that Matsumoto Akira had taken the job, Officer Megure felt relieved and immediately nodded in agreement.

After Inspector Megure and the others left, Matsumoto Akira let out a long sigh and sat down on the seat next to him.

"It's all your fault, Conan! Look at how spoiled the police are in Tokyo. Even an experienced officer like Inspector Megure is at a loss!"

Conan just rolled his eyes at Matsumoto Akira's accusation, secretly complaining in his heart: Tokyo's police were already useless in my father's era, do I still need to support them? However, he did not care too much, and after thinking for a moment, he continued to ask Matsumoto Akira.

"What should we do now? We don't have any more clues, and Inspector Megure doesn't have any ideas either..."

"I'll use my connections to investigate the theft at the Toyo Arsenal. Go back to the Maori Detective Agency. If he calls again, contact me immediately!"

Matsumoto Akira stood up and walked towards home without looking back. "By the way, if he doesn't hang up the phone, you'll have to figure out a solution on your own! In any case, you have to be prepared!"

Conan stared at Matsumoto Akira's departing back until his back completely disappeared. Then he walked towards the Mori Detective Agency while thinking.

This time the criminal appeared too suddenly, but the high explosives did shorten the range.

After all, if the criminals could bring in this type of high explosives from outside, then this kind of thing would not have happened at the Oriental Arsenal.

After all, it is also a military stronghold. Even if they want to enrich themselves, they will never take such drastic measures.

Because if you do these things, you may really be caught by your superiors. Only when it is confirmed that it is not your own people who are doing this, will the rest of the investigation be transferred to other places.

When Matsumoto Akira returned home, Mao Lilan was watching TV with the shrunken Miyano Akemi, and Tom and Jerry were also lying next to them.

What a happy scene! Matsumoto Akira smiled, shook his head and closed the door gently.

However, she didn't expect that even though she was very careful, the voice was still heard. Mao Lilan didn't even turn around and spoke directly.

"Dinner has been heated up for you and is in the pot. If you want to eat it, you can eat it now. If not, I will collect it later and you can get something from the refrigerator~"

Knowing that he had been discovered, Matsumoto Akira walked straight to the kitchen and took out the food that Mouri Ran had warmed up there in advance.

"Why did you have dinner so early today?"

Looking at the still bright world outside, Matsumoto Akira expressed his doubts in a targeted manner.

"Maybe it's because, even though Mingmei is a girl older than me, the way she's become smaller now always makes me feel like I'm taking care of a child, right?"

Ran Mouri was in a very happy mood, especially when she looked at Miyano Akemi in her arms, such a small girl who let her hold her.

It's just like the child you might have in the future!
