After hearing Karasawa's words, Shiratori Rensaburo wanted to refute again.
But before he could speak, Karasawa spoke again, throwing out a bomb-like statement: "I don't know if you have noticed that the two houses that were set on fire were both Professor Moritani Teiji's early thirties.
s work.
Moreover, I checked the forensic report of the burned down house and found that the serial arsonist used a handmade ignition device.
If you reason like this, don’t you think he and the criminal who stole the explosives have similar characteristics!!”
"Nani!!"
The entire audience was in an uproar when this statement came out. This speculation was even more exaggerated than the previous suspicion that Teiji Moritani was the one responsible for burning his own works.
They didn't expect that Tang Ze would actually connect the two cases, but after carefully reviewing the information, they had to admit that this was entirely possible!
The handmade ignition device used by the arsonist could have been stolen gunpowder!
After some speculations by Tang Ze, the two cases became more complicated and confusing in the eyes of Officer Megure and others.
The first is the arson case. There are two possibilities: Moritani Teiji is the criminal, or he is an enemy who has a grudge against Moritani Teiji.
Of course, this speculation is based on the fact that the prisoner only burned Moriya Teiji's works.
If the prisoner commits another crime later, and the target is Moritani Teiji's works, then it can basically be confirmed that the other party is targeting them purposefully.
As for the gunpowder theft case, Tang Ze's analysis also revealed two possibilities, or it was a separate case, and the criminal had an ulterior motive for stealing the explosives.
Or maybe he was the same person as the arsonist, and the other party stole the gunpowder in order to destroy Moritani Teiji's works.
From the theft of gunpowder to arson.
Basically, they appeared one after another. At the same time, after the forensics department checked the fire point, the handmade ignition device did meet the conditions. At least it cannot be said that there is no connection at all.
But in Tang Ze's view, these possible examples are just cover-ups for reasonable speculation.
After all, it is impossible for him to directly throw out the correct answer, which would not be speculation but prediction of the future.
Like this, throwing out many possibilities and focusing on guiding the correct answer makes things very logical.
At most, Tangze has an excellent view of the overall situation, and at the same time, he is not bound by inertial thinking and will not be so abrupt.
While everyone was deep in thought, Karasawa suggested again: "Officer Megure, after all, these are all my speculations. Why don't you just leave Moritani Teiji's line to me.
In addition, at the Kurokawa family's residence and the Akutsu family's residence, these two early works designed by Professor Moritani, it is best to arrange some people to guard them.
Regardless of whether other speculations are correct, the possibility that the arsonist wanted to burn Professor Teiji Moritani’s works is still very likely.”
"Well, that's true." Officer Memu nodded, "Shiratori-kun, Takagi-kun, each of you will take people to two houses to guard!"
"Hi!"
"Sato-san, please cooperate with Karasawa-kun in investigating Moritani Teiji!"
"I understand." Miwako Sato nodded to indicate her understanding.
"The situation is urgent and we cannot let go of any possibility." Officer Memu said solemnly: "Cheer up!"
"Hi!!"
…
After being assigned the task by Officer Megure, Shiratori and Takagi took the trouble to take people to watch the night.
After Karasawa and Miwako Sato investigated, they found out that Emperor Moritani was having a banquet tomorrow afternoon, so they made sure to pay attention and prepare to visit him tomorrow afternoon.
After all the planning was completed, the two said goodbye and went back to rest, while Shiratori and Takagi, who were miserable, led their own people to watch the night.
This arrangement makes sense. Sato Miwako is a woman, so since there is no shortage of manpower to take care of her, it is understandable. And Karasawa stayed up all night yesterday, so naturally he will not arrange any more night watch work.
Early the next morning, Tang Ze was called out.
After meeting Officer Megure, I got good news and bad news from him - the Akutsu family's house was burned down.
Well, this is the news for both good and bad.
It is naturally bad that the house was burned down, but the good news is that Karasawa's reasoning was correct, and the criminals did attack Moritani Teiji's early works again.
Last night at about three o'clock in the morning, a fire broke out in the Akutsu family's house. Takagi and his police officers had no choice but to save people first.
There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the area of Zhaqiu was so large, and the other party did not choose the location where Takagi would keep vigil. By the time the fire was discovered, people had already run away. At that time, the situation was urgent and the only choice was to save people first.
Fortunately, because the two people appeared quickly enough, the fire was not extinguished and the people inside woke up, so there were no casualties.
At this time, Karasawa's "guessing" turned into a correct "inference", and Officer Megure immediately reported it to the investigation headquarters.
After learning this information, the Investigation Headquarters confirmed the accuracy of the information, and immediately deployed a large number of manpower to monitor the Kurokawa family around the clock.
Karasawa and Sato Miwako went to Qiu, the residence of the Moritani family.
As a British seventeenth-century, orthodox Stuart dynasty-era building, this place is undoubtedly very spectacular.
There are vast courtyards, luxurious fountains, towering houses, and even two security personnel guarding the door.
"What should I do? Do I need to state my identity to enter?" Seeing the guard in front of the courtyard, Sato Miwako frowned and asked: "But if I state my identity and enter, will it alert the enemy?"
"It's okay. When I called Detective Mori yesterday to inquire about the case at the Kurokawa family, I mentioned Moritani Teiji casually."
Karasawa smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Detective Mori happened to be in contact with Moritani Teiji and got his invitation letter.
After explaining the situation, Detective Maori and I made an appointment to meet at the door, and we can go in together later."
"Really? That was really a coincidence." Sato smiled and said, "It's really good luck."
In response, Tang Ze just smiled and said nothing.
Since I knew that Mouri Kogoro and the others had an invitation letter, I naturally called them specially.
Later, whenever he mentioned the need to investigate Moritani Teiji, Mouri Kogoro would naturally not hesitate to help.
Plan passes!
The two of them didn't have to wait long. After a while, a taxi stopped at the entrance of Moritani's house, and Conan jumped out of the car first.
Upon seeing this, Karasawa and his two men also parked their cars and got out of the car to join Mouri Kogoro and others.
After submitting the invitation letter, several people successfully entered and arrived in the backyard.
The other party is indeed a famous architect. Social celebrities can be seen everywhere. Congressmen and entrepreneurs are all high-ranking figures in society. There are even many celebrities who can often be seen on TV.
But, Tang Ze didn't come here to make friends with these big shots.
He came here to take the blame for Emperor Moriya~
