Brothers Adventures

The Bombing with Soccer Strikers! Part 2

Shinichi, Kogoro, Ran and Conan are eating dinner together in Shinichi's house. Shinichi tried to compile everything that Kogoro told him

"Still the fact that he's challenging you means that he's very confident. He even exploded a bomb right in front of you as an evidence" said Shinichi confuse as he eats
"Did he say something weird?" asked Conan
"There's one, when dad can't understand him about the code for the first time. The culprit shout 'Hand as in handling!' like that"

Conan eyes shot up and then smirk. Shinichi was surprised as Conan change of face

"Oi... you know something?" asked Shinichi surprised
"Eh? You don't understand?" said Conan in shock by his big brother
"No..."
"Ah right! You were talking with Hide-san when it happens. That day in the J-League convention, Professor Agasa give us that riddle and the one who answer it happen to be Endou-san. He said the exact words as the culprit since it is the answer of the riddle"

Shinichi, Ran and Kogoro then look surprised and understand what Conan approach on. In other words, the culprit happened to hear Professor Agasa's riddle to know those words

"So there are four suspects then. Yamamori Shinzou, Kouda Kaoru, Sakaki Ryousuke and Motoura Keiichirou" said Kogoro smiling with confidence
"There's one more... At that time, another person was on a nearby bench. Nakaoka Kazumasa-san was there too" said Conan serious
"You mean the miraculous lone striker that I mention to you before? I didn't know he was there!" said Shinichi surprised
"Sorry, forgot to tell you"
"Then, there are five suspects..." said Ran worried
"We should tell Megure-keibu tomorrow about our deduction but for now, let's sleep. Ran, you can wear my mom's clothes if you want" said Shinichi as he gets up
"Alright, thank you" said Ran as she stands up as well

Shinichi and Ran quickly wash the dishes together while Conan quickly turn off the living room and light up the guest rooms for both Kogoro and Ran. Luckily, their house have three guest rooms which is convenient if something happens. Ran and Conan are already gone to their rooms while Kogoro stop Shinichi to which make both of them stay in the kitchen for a while

"Shinichi, I need you to do me a favor..." said Kogoro serious
"What is it Occhan?" asked Shinichi as he sits down by Kogoro's side
"Can you and that brat stay with us until this is over?"
"Eh why?"
"Culprit is indeed targeting me... In other words, Ran may also be in danger. I want you and the brat to help me protect Ran"

Shinichi was surprised at first but Kogoro now is very serious to him to which Shinichi nod to him as an agreement

"Alright, Occhan. We will protect Ran and of course you as well" said Shinichi with a serious smile

Two days after the incident of Touto Stadium, the police officers are giving their result of the investigation about the five suspects that Kogoro, Shinichi and Conan pointed. Inspector Megure, Inspector Shiratori and Chiba are present with them

"We already investigate about the five suspects that you mention in the phone, first is Yamamori-san. Thanks to the explosion incident, the ratings have gone up and he managed to avoid getting fired as department head" said Inspector Shiratori looking at his notebook
"So the incident helped him" said Inspector Megure serious
"Next is Kouda-san, the incident also help her back to her previous position at the local news section due to her scoop pictures of the incident"

The brothers look at the board seriously with each of suspects pictures

"Next, Sakaki-san. At this point, we haven't found any motive that would cause him to blow up Touto Stadium. However, if we consider the culprit's motive as having been sparked by Mouri-san's provoking actions. Sakaki-san's own goal fiasco during college ridiculed by you or so we heard, Mouri-san" said Inspector Shiratori serious
"Eh?" thought both Shinichi and Conan surprised by the news
"Well... I wasn't trying to ridicule him... and he was laughing too" said Kogoro tried to defend himself
"He may be wearing a smile but inside... That sort of things happens sometimes"
