As he spoke, Moriko Teiji couldn't help but carefully recall his actions in his mind.
No matter how hard Moriko Teiji thought about it, he couldn't figure out which part of the process had exposed him.
Unable to figure it out, Moriko Teiji decided to take it one step at a time and see what Shinichi Kudo was really up to.
After concealing his disguise, Teiji Moriko let the gatekeeper pass and allowed Shinichi Kudo to enter.
Originally, Teiji Moriko planned to go directly to see Shinichi Kudo, but just to be on the safe side, he went to his study first and hid the plastic bomb disguised as a special lighter on his person.
Afterwards, Teiji Moriko went to the reception room to meet Shinichi Kudo, who was visiting.
Meanwhile, outside the villa, Professor Agasa, Yukiko Kudo, and Watson were waiting for Chen Anxia inside the yellow Volkswagen Beetle.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat heavy and oppressive.
Amidst this heavy and oppressive atmosphere, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but worry, "Why doesn't Anxia shed her disguise and meet Moriko Teiji in her true form?"
"Given the extent of Moriko Teiji's resentment towards Shinichi, it's hard to guarantee that he won't do something rash if he doesn't know that the Shinichi in front of him is Anxia."
"At that point, Anxia will be in danger, because the other party is a dangerous individual carrying bombs!"
What Dr. Agasa could think of, Yukiko Kudo and Watson could naturally think of as well.
Yukiko Kudo then said, "Doctor, don't worry too much. Anxia isn't the type to act recklessly. He must have his reasons for doing this. What we need to do now is trust him."
Watson didn't say much, but took out something that looked like a radio from his pocket, unplugged the earpiece, and played the sound out loud.
Dr. Agasa was very familiar with the object in Watson's hand, knowing that it was the receiver of the button-shaped listening device he had made.
As for Yukiko Kudo, she was naturally unfamiliar with this, but before she could ask, Teiji Moriko's voice came from among them, "Shinichi Kudo, I wonder what brings you here this time?"
Upon hearing this voice, both Professor Agasa and Yukiko Kudo were startled and, without thinking twice, began to listen intently.
Inside the reception room of Moriko Teiji's villa.
After hearing Moriko Teiji's words, Chen Anxia, disguised as Shinichi Kudo, slowly turned around to look at Moriko Teiji.
At this moment, Chen Anxia's acting skills were on full display, and even those who were most familiar with Shinichi Kudo would find it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, let alone Teiji Moriko.
Therefore, in Moriko Teiji's eyes, Chen Anxia at this moment is Shinichi Kudo.
Under Morigu Teiji's gaze, Chen Anxia's lips curled up slightly as she asked, "Why do I feel like Professor Morigu isn't very welcoming to me?"
"This is quite different from what I expected."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Sengu II remained unmoved, walked to the main seat and sat down, asking seemingly casually, "Oh, what is your expected scenario?"
Chen Anxia replied directly, "Professor Sengu shouldn't have forgotten the invitation letter you sent me, right?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Sengu paused slightly, as if he had thought of something.
Before Morigu Teiji could speak, Chen Anxia continued, "The tone, wording, and sentences you used in that letter all revealed that you really wanted to meet me."
"But now..."
Chen Anxia did not continue speaking, and Sengu Di Er already understood.
But Moriko Teiji didn't care about this.
The reason Moriko Teiji invited Shinichi Kudo was simply to carry out his revenge plan.
Now that his revenge plan is almost complete, there is no need to deliberately play along with Shinichi Kudo. He just needs to act normally so that Shinichi Kudo doesn't notice anything amiss.
Sengoku Teiji lit his pipe, took a light puff, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and asked, "So? What's the purpose of your visit?"
"Unless there's something else, I'd like you to leave now, as I have other things to attend to and it's not convenient for me to entertain guests."
Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia used the excuse he had prepared beforehand and asked, "I am currently investigating several recent arson cases."
"My investigation has revealed that the buildings damaged in these arson cases were all Professor Moriko's works."
"So the reason I came here this time is to ask if Professor Sengu has any enemies or people with whom he has had conflicts?"
Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Sengu Di Er's heart stirred.
Morigu Teiji naturally knew that Chen Anxia was lying, and he also knew what the real issue Chen Anxia was dealing with was.
At the same time, Teiji Moriko also recalled that Shinichi Kudo had once asked him, under his disguise, whether he was involved in the arson case...
Considering all this, Teiji Moriko murmured to himself, 'It seems Shinichi Kudo wants to find the arsonist and bomber through me.'
'But he never imagined that the arsonist and bomber were right in front of him, and he certainly never imagined that my greatest enemy was him...'
As he was thinking, he saw Teiji Moriko deliberately put on a thoughtful expression, as if he were pondering Shinichi Kudo's question.
Meanwhile, inside the Tokyo Railway Dispatch Center.
One victory after another was coming from Chaki Shintaro's walkie-talkie.
"Report! A bomb has been found here!"
"Report! I've found a bomb here too!"
......
"Report! Fifth bomb detected!"
Upon hearing that the police had found all the bombs, cheers erupted throughout the dispatch center, and everyone's face beamed with joy.
On the other side, inside the Mikasa City Hall.
"This is Takagi. Bomb detected. Initiate recovery!"
"This is Sato. Bomb detected. Initiate recovery!"
"This is Shiratori. Bomb detected. Initiate recovery!"
"This is Megure. Bomb detected. Begin recovery!"
......
Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who was on the scene, couldn't help but smile as he listened to the continuous reports of victory over the walkie-talkie. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Time passes gradually.
After counting and comparing all the recovered bombs, the police confirmed the quantity was correct and the recovery mission was completed.
Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's main conference room, everyone except for the Third Investigation Division, who were still investigating people around Shinichi Kudo, had returned.
After receiving the report that all the bombs had been successfully recovered, a sharp glint flashed in Toshiro Odagiri's eyes. The pressure that had been suppressed in his heart transformed into a raging fire.
Without the slightest hesitation, Odagiri Toshiro waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go and arrest Moriko Teiji!"
Like Toshiro Odagiri, the pressure was finally released, and the police officers, whose anger could not be contained, couldn't help but roar with a thunderous and menacing voice after finally receiving the order to arrest Teiji Moriko, "Yes, sir!"

Inside Moriko Teiji's villa.
Chen Anxia, disguised as Shinichi Kudo, kept questioning Teiji Moriko under the pretext of the arson case.
Finally, unable to contain his impatience any longer, Morigu Teiji stood up and said to Chen Anxia with a cold face, "I've told you everything I know. As for what I don't know, no matter how much you ask, it won't help."
"I'm sorry, I have to ask you to leave. I don't have as much time as you to play detective games."
"My time is precious, and I have many things waiting for me to deal with."
"Besides, you probably don't have much time right now..."
Just as Emperor Sengu was saying this, Chen Anxia suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute, how do you know I don't have much time?"
Upon hearing this, Moriko Teiji immediately realized that he had misspoke and said something he shouldn't have.
However, Moriko Teiji's strong mental fortitude kept his expression unchanged, and he coldly replied, "You said it yourself, you are investigating the arson case."
"What time do you have left? If we don't catch the criminal quickly, no one can guarantee that he won't commit further crimes."
"Perhaps, the perpetrator has already committed the crime during the time we are talking."
"Alright, I won't say any more. Please leave."
With that, Moriko Teiji walked out of the reception room on his own.
Just then, Chen Anxia received a text message on her phone.
After confirming the contents of the text message, Chen Anxia did not show any joy on her face. Instead, she sighed softly and looked somewhat dejected.
Then, Chen Anxia watched Sengu Di Er's departing figure and slowly said, "The reason I am here is to prevent arson from happening again."
Chen Anxia's statement can be interpreted in two ways.
The first possibility is that the perpetrator is not here, but has appeared here to search for clues related to the perpetrator, thereby locating the perpetrator and preventing the arson from happening again.
The second possibility is that the criminal is here, and the purpose of being here is to control the criminal and prevent the arson from happening again.
Even if Morigu Teiji had a strong mind, he couldn't help but be disturbed by Chen Anxia's words and would subconsciously try to understand the second interpretation.
This caused Emperor Sengu II to stop in his tracks, turn around and look at Chen Anxia with an icy expression, asking, "What do you mean by that?"
Without directly answering Moriko Teiji's question, Chen Anxia closed his eyes slightly and slowly said, "The buildings destroyed in the recent arson incident, although they were all Professor Moriko's works, were all your early works."
“These early works all have one thing in common: they do not conform to your pursuit of perfection and the architectural design style of bilateral symmetry.”
"From what I understand, Professor Sengu, you are very passionate about architectural design and extremely meticulous. You believe that architects must take more responsibility for their work and have an almost obsessive perfectionism."
"Someone like you has every reason and ability to destroy these buildings that were created by you but do not conform to your definition of perfection."
Upon hearing this, Moriko Teiji's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he rebuked, "This is utter nonsense! Your reasoning is absolutely terrible."
"I don't have the time or inclination to listen to your nonsensical reasoning right now. If you have evidence, just go to the police station and report me."
"Leave now, or I'll have someone come and kick you out!"
Chen Anxia ignored Moriko Teiji's words and continued his reasoning, "Not only the arson case, but also the theft of the Japanese gunpowder depot not long ago, and the bomb case that provoked me, you are the perpetrator."
"You were also the architect of the Japanese gunpowder depot, which means you have the architectural blueprints for the Japanese gunpowder depot."
"With the blueprints and your familiarity with the buildings you've constructed, you can pull off this theft perfectly."
"The reason you provoked me and hold a grudge against me is because a year ago I uncovered the incident involving Mayor Okamoto of Nishitama City, forcing the Nishitama town-building project, which you were leading, to a standstill..."
As Chen Anxia gradually revealed the secrets in his heart, Sengu Di Er could no longer remain calm. He felt both anger and fear.
Teiji Moriko couldn't understand why Shinichi Kudo could still see through his actions, even though he had done everything perfectly.
