Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

There is still some information about the name Teiji Moriya that can be found online.

Professor of the Department of Architecture at Dongdu University, a well-known architect in Taiwan, whose name is associated with several famous buildings designed by him alone.

After reviewing his information, Kudo Kazuma remembered.

Isn't this the boss from the first Detective Conan movie, who single-handedly created the iconic scene of Conan and Ran's red line, and caused the obsessive-compulsive disorder of having eight eggs as the main characters in the movies ever since?

It is said that his original name was not Moriya Teiji, but was changed because his original name was not symmetrical enough.

It can only be said that this person's obsessive-compulsive symptoms are not severe enough—Teiji Moriya is only symmetrical vertically, and he wants to be symmetrical horizontally and vertically. He should have changed his name to Moriya Moriya.

Moreover, Kazuma Kudo was somewhat speechless.

Tomorrow's trading task is to sell bombs to this obsessive-compulsive guy so he can bomb his unlucky brother and future sister-in-law, right?

What an absurd coincidence!

However, this is highly feasible.

Kazuma Kudo tilted his head.

He has the [sound-based] method; it's that simple.

Isn't this obsessive-compulsive disorder stemming from his dislike of asymmetrical works?

There are many asymmetrical buildings now; don't just focus on the ones you designed.

It's a theatrical version, and the first one at that, so how can it not be explosive?

As long as it's not someone he cares about who gets bombed.

Fry, you can fry anything!

The next day, after disguising himself, Kudo Kazuma carried a large backpack and leisurely went to the Beika Hotel, which was the place he had arranged to meet Moriya Teiji.

Before he even entered the hotel, he saw Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Conan pointing at the Beika Hotel and saying something.

Beside them was a woman with a bandage on her head and a panicked expression.

What combination is this?

The group discussed, "Let's go ask here again," and then entered the hotel.

It looks like they've encountered some kind of case.

Kudo Kazuma tugged at the strap of his backpack and headed straight for the elevator after entering the hotel.

Teiji Moriya was still waiting for him on the 4th floor.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Conan rushed over, and Kazuma Kudo stopped him. Then, the four of them got into the elevator one after another.

"Thank you."

Ran thanked him with a smile, while Kudo Kazuma nodded slightly: "It was nothing, don't mention it."

Conan looked up at him curiously, and as if by reflex, he secretly began to make plans in his mind.

The person was young and carrying a backpack, looking like a student, but the backpack was obviously heavy, so it definitely didn't contain clothes...

What would that be?

Furthermore, he didn't even go to the counter to register or ask anything before taking the elevator, which suggests he lives here—but if he had already checked in before, why is he carrying such a big backpack now?

Are you here to look for someone?

Why would someone carrying a heavy backpack be looking for someone?

Seeing his older brother's habitual questioning expression, Kudo Kazuma secretly curled the corner of his mouth, taking advantage of the fact that his brother couldn't see him.

After getting off the elevator, he went straight to room 404.

Teiji Moriya was already waiting for him.

Seeing the mustachioed man in the dark green suit in front of him, Kudo Kazuma gradually connected him with the character Moriya Teiji from the anime he remembered.

However, when Moriya Teiji saw the gentle-faced boy with sparkling eyes and a smile on his lips and eyes, he couldn't bring himself to admit that he was an organization member who had come to trade with him.

"What are you looking at?"

Kudo Kazuma casually closed the door and placed his backpack on the bed in the room.

He tilted his head and skillfully used the [Sound Bewitching] skill.

"You seem like a pretty successful person. What do you need so many bombs for? To take revenge on society?"

Teiji Moriya frowned and said, "You don't understand. Only symmetry is beautiful. When I was young, I didn't have a high enough status, and for various reasons, I designed many asymmetrical buildings..."

He waved his hand, clearly a little agitated: "No! Those can't even be called buildings! They don't deserve to be registered under my name; they're all failures that should have been disposed of long ago!"

"Especially the Mihana Municipal Building, that failed project stands right across from my house. It's the biggest mockery of my architectural career. I wish I could destroy it right now!"

"And... my dream... was ruined by that detective named Shinichi Kudo. He sent the former mayor of Nishitama City, who could have made my dream come true and supported my design of the dream town, to prison!"

"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!"

No one knows how long these thoughts had been suppressed in his heart. Stimulated by [Sound Bewitchment], Moriya Teiji became more and more agitated as he spoke, not only criticizing Kudo Shinichi, but also criticizing many people who had interfered with his ideas when he was designing buildings in the past.

After a long while, the dry-mouthed troll finally stopped.

Kudo Kazuma was filled with awe.

Then, he smiled and blinked, asking, "There are plenty of asymmetrical buildings. Even if you demolish the ones you designed before, aren't there still many?"

"And from what you're saying, besides Shinichi Kudo, quite a few other people have caused you trouble, right? You were so agitated just now, you weren't just saying it, were you?"

The two simple questions were like an abyss that drew Moriya Teiji's soul downwards.

Yes, he wasn't wrong. He just wanted to design a perfectly symmetrical building. What do those people know?

Do they understand architecture?

Do they even know what beauty is?

Do they understand the resentment he felt when he was forced to design unsatisfactory works in accordance with the wishes of those people after being thwarted?

He quickly changed his original plan in his mind, then looked up at Kudo Kazuma.

"There's a problem... these bombs aren't enough."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "The organization doesn't have that many bombs in stock right now, so we can't sell you too many. If you really want more, you might as well consider other sources?"

"For example... a Japanese gunpowder depot?"

After a moment of silence, Moriya Teiji suddenly stood up with renewed vigor: "I understand, thank you!"

Kudo Kazuma, somewhat speechless, patted his shoulder and reminded him, "Don't forget, these are all your own thoughts, and have nothing to do with me—you haven't contacted the organization either, understand?"

After saying that, he put away Moriya Teiji's transaction funds, took out another backpack of the same style from the system space containing books and clothes, and put it on his back to leave.

Then, he heard Moriya Teiji, still under the influence of the [Sound Bewitchment], say, "Now I'm a regular customer, right? If there's a next time, could the transaction time be changed to 10:01?"

"Also, use a suitcase next time. This backpack of yours is asymmetrical, it looks uncomfortable..."

Even the noise can't affect this obsessive-compulsive person's obsession with "symmetry", right?

Kudo Kazuma twitched his lips, speechless, and said, "Really? Then I suggest you change your name to Moriya Moriya, don't you think it's more symmetrical?"

After saying that, he went straight out.

Teiji Moriya, left in room 404: "???"

It seems... that's not entirely unreasonable?
