Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

"Uncle Maori can't be the murderer!" Conan said to Takagi who came with him.

"But Mr. Maori's fingerprints were found at the scene." Takagi said helplessly.

"Uncle, did you get drunk again and sneak in without permission?" Conan asked.

"Didn't I tell you? I've never been to that kind of place! It must be a mistake. No matter how much you check, it's all in vain!"

Kogoro Mouri glared at the public security detectives with resentment.

Conan glanced at Kazami, who was squatting in front of a nearby bookshelf collecting the items. He had several small wounds on his face and a Band-Aid on his nose.

Just as Conan lowered his head to think, Kazami suddenly stood up and slipped into a corner of the room.

"Conan, what's wrong?" Takagi walked over and bent down to ask.

Conan turned around and looked at Kazami who was reaching out to the cabinet in the corner of the room: "Mr. Detective, you have a wound on your face. Is it okay?"

"Ah, Mr. Kazami? He seemed to be there when the explosion happened."

After hearing Takagi's answer, Conan remembered what Izumi said. Izumi said that the surveillance video captured Amuro's bruises in a short moment...

Conan hid in a corner and contacted Dr. Agasa.

"Ah, Doctor? I need your help with something..."

Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?

The international conference venue, which has become the explosion site, is surrounded by rubble and debris, and many forensic personnel are busy taking pictures and recording.

And in the distant sky, a drone was flying.

"Ahh! Gentai-kun, slow down a bit!"

In the courtyard of Dr. Agasa's house, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta each held a remote control to operate the drone. In order to prevent them from arguing, Dr. Agasa actually split the original remote control into three according to "direction", "speed" and "camera".

“They’re filming right now!”

Ayumi held the "camera" remote control and looked at the LCD screen on the "direction" remote control held by Mitsuhiko. Genta, who was sitting opposite her, also said "Sorry, sorry" and looked at the LCD screen.

"But it's amazing! It can fly so far!" Yuantai said as he stood up and excitedly ran in circles with the "speed" remote control.

"It can be controlled within 30 kilometers." Dr. Agasa said proudly as he walked out of the house.

"Ah, we just flew to a place twenty kilometers away." Mitsuhiko raised his face proudly.

"Hey?"

Looking at the surprised Dr. Agasa, Genta and Ayumi smiled wickedly.

"I've already delivered something to the old lady in Saitama!"

“My mother-in-law is so happy!”

"What, when..." The children mastered the operation so quickly that Dr. Agasa was surprised.

"But!" At this time, Yuan Tai looked at Mitsuhiko's remote control and said, "This screen is too small. Don't you think it looks a bit uncomfortable?"

"Well... because we didn't originally plan to divide it among three people." The doctor explained.

"Hey! Doctor, please install a screen on my remote control!"

"I want Ayumi's too!"

"Hmm, I see..." Dr. Agasa, who was begged by the children, fell into deep thought, and then he suddenly straightened up as if he thought of something.

"Okay! Let's guess the riddle! Listen up! If you guess right, I'll put a display on every remote control!"

"Why!?"

Just as the children were exhausted by the usual plot development, Professor Agasa started to pose puzzles with full of energy...

……

When the sky was turning pale, the telephone booths along the seashore were deserted, and Amuro chose to call Kazami here.

"What a shame! It's just as Mr. Furuya predicted. If we had discovered this earlier, our Public Security colleagues wouldn't have..."

"Yeah. I didn't expect it to break out before the summit..." Amuro placed his hand on the payphone and looked back toward the sea. In the clear white sky, a plane took off.

"We are currently investigating domestic extremists and international terrorist organizations on the public security list. Regarding Mr. Furuya—"

"I'm investigating the communications to the gas hydrant at the explosion site. It seems to be using a very special system."

"What system is it?"

"Depending on the progress of the investigation, I will inform the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Bureau of the results."

"I understand."

Amuro turned around and asked, "How's that going?"

"Yes, we have already started preparing for the investment." Suddenly, the dazzling sunlight shone in. Amuro looked outside the public telephone booth and saw a red sun rising from the sea.

"Mr. Furuya?"

"understood."

Amuro hung up the phone and quietly looked at the buildings on the other side of the sea that were shining brightly in the rising sun, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

The day after Kogoro Mori was arrested.

Police officers from the Public Security Department and the Criminal Department gathered again in the Metropolitan Police Department's conference room. Officer Shiratori was making an investigation report on the computer confiscated from Kogoro Mouri. The detectives were immediately in an uproar when they heard the results of the investigation.

"So, in other words, traces of a connection to the on-site gas hydrant were found in Kogoro Mouri's computer?"

Kuroda, sitting next to Megure in front of the detectives, asked. Officer Shiratori turned his gaze to the notebook in his hand and replied, "...Yes, it's a report from the Cyber ​​Crime Countermeasures Section."

At this time, Feng Jian, who was sitting in the seat next to the Ministry of Public Security, stood up and pointed to the restaurant kitchen displayed on the big screen.

"That's right. Maori Kogoro sneaked in here, opened this door, and used some tricks to make the oil in the high-voltage cable leak out."

The big screen displayed images of gas configuration diagrams, burnt fingerprints on the door of the high-voltage cable box, and cables stuffed inside the box.

"Wait a minute! The surveillance camera should be able to capture Mori-kun like this!"

Inspector Megure stood up, and Inspector Sato, who was sitting to the right of Inspector Shiratori, said with a sad expression, "Ah, no..."

"The internet connection at the explosion site was only opened yesterday, and the cameras had not been turned on or used before that."

Inspector Megure silently put his body back on the chair. The interrupted Kazami spoke again: "Mouri Kogoro not only tampered with the cables, but also manipulated the gas valve through the network, causing a gas leak. That's why this explosion happened-"

"How could this be...why would Mr. Maori do such a thing?" Chiba, who was sitting on the left side of Shiratori, murmured.

·· ·······Request flowers····· ·····

"What did he say during the interrogation?" Kuroda interrupted.

"Mouri Kogoro has been denying it, but even if he denies it, it can still be sent for inspection."

Hearing what Kazemi said, Inspector Megure stood up suddenly: "You're planning to send it for inspection when you don't even know the motive?"

"As long as all the evidence is complete, it can be sent for inspection. Isn't this a matter of course for the police?"

"Wait! Something must be wrong!"

"Something doesn't make sense, something's wrong. Do you think that alone is enough to keep the investigators busy?"

Kazami pointed at the Public Security Bureau detectives sitting behind him, and all the Public Security Bureau detectives immediately turned their eyes to Officer Megure.

Unable to refute, Megure could only roar in frustration.

……

Since this kind of thing happened to Kogoro Mouri, Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri were also very concerned about the progress of the case. No one is heartless, and the mother and daughter did not want to see Kogoro Mouri being wronged, so they found Shiraizumi Masu to discuss it.

Shiraizumi Masu said: "No one is willing to defend Maori Kogoro. If anyone is willing, it's only you, Kisaki Eri."

Xiaolan was puzzled: "How could it be...why is there no one willing to come to defend me?"

"Is it because it's a big case?" Ying Li sighed and put his hand on his forehead.

"Yes, and also, defending a celebrity like 'Sleeping Kogoro' as the suspect, any lawyer would have concerns..." said Shiraizumi Mashi.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

“Excuse me.

The person who walked in was Officer Shiratori.

"I thought it would be best to tell you before it hits the news."

"What happened?"

Shiratori stopped in front of Eri's desk, lowering his eyes as if he wanted to say something.

"...Mr. Maori was sent for examination."

None of the three were too surprised, as this was already decided.

"Is there enough evidence to be sent for inspection?" Bai Quanyi asked.

"Yes. Mr. Mori's fingerprints found at the scene, the scene sketch and summit schedule found in the computer, plus the records of the access to the ignition... Even Advisor Shiro and Inspector Megure can't prevent the normal inspection..."

Eri listened to Shiratori's answer with a serious face, lowered her head, and sighed: "It's enough to send it for inspection..."

"Why... Dad..." Xiaolan sighed. After all, it was her father who died.

Regarding who will serve as Kogoro Mori's defense lawyer

When Conan heard the phone message left by Dr. Agasa, he immediately drove his skateboard to Agasa's house.

"Doctor! Did you find it?"

"Oh, Shinichi, you're here. Look." Izumi next to the doctor said to Conan.

Conan came over to the two of them, put his phone on the computer desk, and looked at the monitor together.

As the fragments were connected and pieced together, an iron object gradually formed.

"...Indeed, it looks a bit like a bomb."

"We used the doctor's drone to take pictures of the explosion debris, and then asked Noah's Ark to piece the fragments together like a jigsaw puzzle to restore the original. To determine the type of bomb, he is comparing it with images on the Internet."

"The rapidly flashing online images on the monitor were being compared one by one with the images. Following the sound of Noah's Ark saying 'OK', the word COMPLETE appeared at the top.

“This is what I found to be the most consistent.

The three of them leaned forward to look at the monitor.

"Hmm? This is..."

"I'll retrieve the detailed information." Dr. Agasa operated, and the previously enlarged image gradually shrank, revealing its full appearance. It looked like a deep pot with two handles, with a black touch screen mounted on the side. "IoT Pressure Cooker" was written on it.

“IoT pressure cooker?”

"It's a high-quality pressure cooker shaped like a pot. You can set the pressure, temperature, and time using your phone, and make dishes like soup."

The pressure cooker's official homepage features a family enjoying a pressure cooker meal, along with images of cooking demonstrations. IoT, short for Internet of Things, refers to the technology that connects objects to the internet, allowing users to monitor their status and control them even when they are physically remote. (In layman's terms, it's the "Internet of Things").

Dr. Agasa continued to retrieve photos of the explosion scene taken by the drone.

"In addition to the pressure cooker, there were also frying pans, soup pots, and cutlery scattered all over the floor. It seems the explosion occurred in the kitchen of the restaurant within the facility."

Noah's Ark opened the homepage of the bombed restaurant again, which not only displayed information about the restaurant, but also published photos of the kitchen, the interior of the store, and the dishes.

After receiving this information, Conan drove his scooter to the Hime Law Firm again, where a young woman was standing in front of the firm.

"who is she?"

Conan noticed that the woman had a lawyer's badge pinned to the front of her coat.

The female lawyer standing in front of the law office called herself Ju Jingzi. She had short, slightly curly hair, wore round glasses, and was dressed in a simple trouser suit, giving her a rustic impression.

"Hey? What did you say?" Yingli, who was sitting at the desk and heard her purpose, raised her face in surprise.

"So, please allow me, Tachibana Saeko, to defend 'Sleeping Kogoro'!"

As Jingzi said this, she bowed very smartly. Under the stunned gaze of Shiraizumi Makoto and Xiaolan, she took out the information from her bag and placed it in front of Eri.

“This is the most severe incident I have ever dealt with.”

There were three or four copies bound together with paper clips. Yingli quickly flipped through the documents spread out on the table.

"The 'Nijo-in University radical incident' and the 'Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry espionage incident'... the public security bureau has a lot of cases."
