Otherwise, if it were merely a matter of disguising their appearance, they wouldn't have such a situation.
This precisely proves the terrifying power of Chen Anxia's acting skills, truly deserving the title of 'a real phantom'.
Besides that, there was something else that deeply shocked Yukiko Kudo, and that was...
Upon hearing Professor Agasa's words, Chen Anxia naturally adopted Shinichi Kudo's voice and said, "I already know who made the call. What follows is a reversal of roles between hunter and prey..."
Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Dr. Agasa was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Is this true? Shin... Anxia?"
Yukiko Kudo was not particularly shaken after hearing Chen Anxia's words.
Yukiko Kudo glanced at 'Shinichi Kudo' sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror and murmured to herself, 'I never imagined that besides the teacher and Sharon, you also possessed such a talent for voice changing...'
'What a pity. If your teacher were still alive, with your talent, you would definitely have been able to perfectly learn her skills, just like Sharon...'
That's right, Chen Anxia didn't use the transformation device invented by Professor Agasa; he simply produced the exact same voice as Shinichi Kudo on his own.
In addition, Chen Anxia also demonstrated to himself the voices of himself, Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri, Professor Agasa, and others.
Yukiko Kudo has only ever seen this versatile vocal talent in two people.
One is Kudo Yukiko's teacher, Kuroba Toichi, and the other is Kudo Yukiko's friend, Sharon...
While Yukiko Kudo was lost in thought, Chen Anxia took out Conan's phone, opened the contacts, found a number, and dialed it.
A moment later, the call was answered, and a familiar voice came through the phone, saying, "Hello, who is this?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Chen Anxia replied without hesitation, using Shinichi Kudo's voice, "Inspector Megure, I am Shinichi Kudo."
"Oh, it's Brother Kudo..."
Before Inspector Megure could finish speaking, Chen Anxia interrupted, "Time is of the essence. What I'm about to say is related to the theft of the Japanese gunpowder depot. There are some things that require Inspector Megure's full cooperation."
Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Inspector Megure's expression immediately turned serious, and he said, "I understand."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia did not hesitate and immediately told Inspector Megure about the phone call he received today. Then he said, "If my reasoning is correct, the perpetrator of the theft of the Japanese gunpowder depot and the perpetrator of the recent spate of arson cases are both Moriko Teiji."
"Moriko Teiji?" Inspector Megure felt the name was somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite place it.
Just then, a slightly deep male voice came from the side and quietly introduced Moriko Teiji to Inspector Megure.
After learning who Teiji Moriko was, Inspector Megure couldn't help but ask, "Brother Kudo, do you have any evidence to prove that Teiji Moriko did it?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia replied directly, "I don't have direct evidence, but if Inspector Megure investigates, you'll find that all the houses burned down in the recent arson cases were designed and built by Teiji Moriko."
"Furthermore, I know Moriko Teiji. If he really is the culprit, then there must be explosives hidden in his house in case the matter is exposed."
Inspector Megure knew that Shinichi Kudo wasn't one to make empty promises, so upon hearing this, his expression immediately turned serious, and he said, "Then I will immediately issue a search warrant and search Teiji Moriko's house!"
Chen Anxia immediately denied this, saying, "No, going now would alert them. Sengu Di Er doesn't know we've already discovered him; he's still playing hide-and-seek with me."
"If my reasoning is correct, Teiji Sengoku should have already converted most of his explosives into plastic bombs and hidden them within the buildings he designed..."
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "What did you say? Brother Kudo, are you serious?"
Chen Anxia replied with certainty, "Ah, I believe my reasoning!"
boom!
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but slam his fist hard on the table in front of him, making a heavy thud. His face was extremely ugly as he said, "Damn it!"
Not only Inspector Megure, but also Shiratori Ninzaburo, who had just introduced Moriko Teiji to Inspector Megure, had an extremely ugly expression.
They were all well aware of how harmful and impactful this matter would be if Shinichi Kudo's reasoning was correct.
Just then, Inspector Megure heard Shinichi Kudo's voice continue, "Inspector Megure, in order to stop the insane Teiji Moriko and to save those innocent lives, there are a few things that I need your full cooperation with!"
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure's face immediately showed an extremely firm expression, and he replied, "I understand, Brother Kudo, just tell us, and our police force will cooperate fully!"

Chapter 445 A Detective Game? A Meeting That Captures the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department! (Please Subscribe!)
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, main conference room.
At this time, almost all of the elites of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department were gathered here.
The First Investigation Division included Shiratori Ninzaburo, Takagi Wataru, Sato Miwako, and Chiba Kazunobu.
The officers on the Second Investigation Division's list include Ginzo Nakamori, Inspector Konno, and Inspector Yamabuki.
The Third Investigation Division includes...
Even traffic police were present, including some familiar faces such as Yumi Miyamoto and Naeko Miike.
The meeting was chaired by Inspector Juzo Megure of the Violent Crimes Investigation Division 3, First Investigation Section, Criminal Investigation Department, Metropolitan Police Department.
Meanwhile, among the leaders of the Metropolitan Police Department present were Inspector Kiyoshi Matsumoto, the direct superior of Juzo Megure; Superintendent Toshiro Odagiri, the superior of Kiyoshi Matsumoto; and Superintendent Shintaro Chaki, the direct superior of Ginzo Nakamori, among others.
Without a doubt, this was a major mobilization by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
The reason for the massive mobilization was, of course, because of Chen Anxia.
No, it's Shinichi Kudo, played by Chen Anxia, and Teiji Moriko, the perpetrator of the theft of explosives from the Japanese gunpowder depot and the recent arson cases.
Amidst everyone's tense standby, Inspector Megure explained the cause and effect of the incident before saying, "The rest is up to you, Kudo-kun."
The moment Inspector Megure finished speaking, Shinichi Kudo's voice was broadcast throughout the conference room via the conference room's loudspeaker, reaching everyone's ears.
"I am currently on my way to the location of the second bomb, which is the square in front of Beika Station that Moriko Teiji mentioned."
"To avoid accidentally injuring pedestrians, I need the police to cooperate in controlling traffic around the square, controlling the flow of vehicles around the square without alerting the suspects, and leaving a passage for me to evacuate smoothly."
"This passage must lead to an uninhabited wasteland. Since we don't know the exact time the bomb will explode, I need to take it away from the square and into the uninhabited wasteland as soon as I find it."
Upon hearing Shinichi Kudo's words, Inspector Megure immediately said, "I will arrange for my colleagues in the Transportation Department to handle this matter right away."
As he spoke, Inspector Megure's gaze fell upon the traffic inspector sitting not far away.
The police inspector from the Ministry of Transportation understood and looked directly at Yumi Miyamoto sitting below, saying, "Yumi, I'm leaving this matter to you."
Yumi Miyamoto is a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department's Traffic Division, and a candidate for Inspector. She has top-notch professional skills and is fully capable of handling this matter.
Therefore, upon hearing her boss's words, Yumi Miyamoto immediately stood up and left the meeting room, taking swift and decisive action.
Odagiri Toshiro, who had been sitting in the main seat and had remained silent since the beginning of the meeting, was also the highest-ranking de facto leader present. He suddenly spoke up and said, "Our police will fully cooperate with your operation at Beika Plaza."
"Because you have already received a call from the suspect, but if you want our police to fully cooperate with your subsequent actions, you must provide evidence that is convincing to our police."
"Otherwise, our police force has no interest in playing detective games with a high school student."
Seeing this, Inspector Megure wanted to say a few words in defense of Shinichi Kudo.
But he was immediately stopped by Toshiro Odagiri's sharp gaze.
Under the watchful eyes of all the police officers in the conference room, Toshiro Odagiri continued, "Have you considered the consequences if your reasoning is wrong, if the real culprit commits a crime while we're playing detective games with you?
Chen Anxia seemed to have anticipated this scene. Hearing this, she showed no panic and calmly said, "The evidence will be available soon. Before that, I would like to explain my reasoning."
Before anyone could speak, Chen Anxia said, "Before the meeting started, Inspector Megure played the second phone call I recorded from Teiji Moriko for everyone to hear."
"Although in this second phone call, Moriko Teiji's voice was altered by a voice changer, making it difficult to distinguish."
"But from what Mori Teiji said, it is not hard to see that Mori Teiji harbors hatred towards me and has prepared a special gift for me."
"It is clear that this special gift is related to the bombs stolen from the Japanese gunpowder depot."
"Based on my reasoning, Moriko Teiji is probably trying to lure me step by step into this special gift, and step by step into the abyss of despair."
"So, the bomb at Beika Plaza was just the beginning. Moriko Teiji has probably already hidden and planted the remaining bombs somewhere, and will lure me to find them..."
This time, it was Matsumoto Kiyonaga who interrupted Chen Anxia, frowning as he asked, "Wait a minute, your previous reasoning was all based on the premise that the culprit is Moriko Teiji."
"But the prisoner's voice on the phone was clearly altered using a voice changer. How can you be sure the prisoner is Moriko Teiji?"
"If the culprit isn't Teiji Moriko, wouldn't all your reasoning be wrong?"
Not only Matsumoto Kiyonaga, but all the police officers present were elites and had long been aware of this problem.
Now, they wanted to see how Chen Anxia, no, Kudo Shinichi, would respond.
While they waited, Chen Anxia didn't answer the question directly. Instead, she asked in Shinichi Kudo's voice, "Inspector Megure, how's the matter I asked you to check?"
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure picked up the documents in his hand and said, "Ah, it's been confirmed. The buildings that were recently set on fire were all built by Teiji Moriko, and plastic explosives have been found at the source of the arson."
After hearing Inspector Megure's words, Miwako Sato, who was sitting below, couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this enough to confirm that the arson was also committed by Teiji Moriko?"
"Furthermore, according to normal logic, why would Mori Teiji set fire to the building he designed and built? Shouldn't it have been done by someone who hated Mori Teiji?"
Upon hearing Sato Miwako's question, Chen Anxia replied directly, "That's right, that's indeed the case according to normal logic, but for Moriko Teiji, normal logic cannot be applied."
"From what I understand, Teiji Senko is an architect who pursues symmetrical design to the extreme, and he has always regarded the asymmetrical buildings he designed before he became famous as a stain on his architectural career."
"And this is also the reason why Emperor Sengu II set the fire."
The police officers present were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief. They found it hard to believe that someone would set fire to and destroy the work they had designed and built themselves for this reason.
Under these circumstances, Shiratori Ninzaburo stood up and said, "I have a good understanding of architecture and can prove that Moriko Teiji is an architect who pursues the ultimate in bilateral symmetry design."
"Not only that, Moriko Teiji's real name was Moriko Sadaharu, but he changed his name to Moriko Teiji in order to achieve left-right symmetry."

Chapter 446 Chen Anxia's Plan Shakes the Metropolitan Police Department! (Please Subscribe!)
Compared to high school detective Shinichi Kudo, the police officers present clearly trusted fellow police officer Ninzaburo Shiratori more.
Therefore, after Shiratori Ninzaburo finished speaking, the expressions of all the police officers present became serious, and they had to take the reasoning of Kudo Shinichi, the high school detective, seriously.
In this atmosphere, Nakamori Ginzo couldn't help but ask, "But if the culprit really is Moriko Teiji, then why would he call you? Do you have some kind of grudge against him?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia replied directly, "I didn't understand at first either, but I understood after I asked Inspector Megure to investigate."
"About a year ago, I solved the case of Mayor Okamoto of Nishitama City's car accident, which forced Mayor Okamoto to step down."
"With Mayor Okamoto's resignation, the Nishitama town-building project, which he spearheaded, naturally came to a standstill."
"And the chief designer of this Nishitama town-building project is Moriko Teiji. I suppose Moriko Teiji resented me for this, which is why he wanted to destroy me along with the stain on his own construction career."
Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Odagiri Toshiro couldn't help but turn his gaze to Inspector Megure.
Inspector Megure noticed the questioning look in Toshiro Odagiri's eyes and immediately nodded, indicating that what Chen Anxia had just said was true.
Upon seeing this, Toshiro Odagiri's expression couldn't help but become serious.
