1152 [Rest In Peace, Friends] Ask for a monthly pass (?#180;??)?
Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji briefly reported the situation to their fathers in Osaka, and then were urged by the Tokyo police to go to the police station to take notes.
After finishing all the messy work, it was already dark.
…
"Oh, so busy."
In a cafe in Mika Town, several high school students sat around the table and discussed the past two days.
Yuan Shan and Ye leaned on the bench, stretched out tiredly, and couldn't help showing a slightly doubtful expression on their faces: "Am I really here for a trip? I don't seem to be so tired from school usually."
"Indeed, I encountered such and such things when I first came here." Mao Lilan looked sympathetically at her friends from Osaka who came from afar. Although she herself encountered more eucalyptus yesterday than Yuan Shan and Ye,
But after thinking about it, Mao Lilan always felt that compared to a relaxed audience like her, the encounter with Ye and the others was indeed more draining.
"However, fortunately, the matter is over." Mao Lilan sighed a little fearfully, "I heard from Officer Zuo Teng that they found several barrels of fuel from lawyer Yin Teng's house - I'm afraid those people planned to
After asking for the answer to the riddle, he pretended to be a house fire and burned all the people who knew too much inside."
"Hmph, it's not surprising that the vicious guy did anything. She even said she wanted to chop off my fingers before." Yuan Shan and Ye looked at Jiang Xia next to them and felt that he had beaten him lightly, so they suggested, "Let's go."
If this happens again, remember to untie me first and let me do it!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but roll up her sleeves and clenched her fists.
The waiter passing by the store was slightly startled when he heard the word "beating someone", and secretly pricked up his ears to hear the gossip.
Conan glanced sharply and changed the topic in a hurry:
"It seems that yesterday was really dangerous, and she was almost fooled by it - there have indeed been serial arsonists recently. If there was a fire in lawyer Yin Teng's house, it might also be included in this case."
As he spoke, he felt that it was not very rigorous, so he couldn't help correcting it: "...But, in fact, if things really turn out to be like that, Jiang Xia and I will definitely find the truth and make you feel at ease.
*He Ye: "..." What this kid said is so unlucky.
Hattori Heiji was sitting next to him, silently reducing his presence.
But at this moment, when he suddenly heard the key word "criminal", he still instinctively interjected and asked: "Serial pyromaniac? Why is it confirmed that it is a serial one? The methods were consistent, or were people with similar characteristics killed?"
"The method has not been announced to the public. However, since there is no mention of similarity, the consistency of the incidents should not be obvious." Jiang Xia thought of this incident, "It was classified as a serial arson, mainly because there were several arson sites.
, all have a 'red horse' - of course, not a real horse, just a finger-sized ornament."
There is also some so-called "jargon" within the police.
Among them, "red horse" refers to "arsonist" - the red horse ornament appears at the arson scene. No matter how you look at it, it looks like the arsonist is deliberately showing his identity and provoking the police.
Hattori Heiji was immediately interested in this arrogant guy.
But soon, he realized something and turned to look at Jiang Xia and Conan: "Wait a minute, since you... well, since you know about this case, but the case has not been solved yet, isn't it possible that no one has been involved yet?
casualties?"
Jiang Xia: "..." It sounds like he is only interested in fate... Well, he is indeed only interested in fate or the fate that is about to happen. It's not just him, this group of high school detectives are probably the same.
.
But a just detective should not discriminate against cases.
"It's true that there were no casualties. But that's not why I didn't go to solve the case. It's just that there were not enough clues - I rarely interact with people from the fire crime investigation department, and I can't find out anything I want to ask."
Jiang Xia picked up the juice seriously and took a sip: "There are many related reports in the newspapers, but most of them are just rumors. At present, the more reliable clues are that except for the 'Red Horse', there are only three fires.
Location - the first one was at 'Rizen-cho 1-chome', the second one was at 'Toromi-cho 2-chome', the third one was at 'Okuho-cho 3-chome'..."
"Looking at it this way, which place will be the '4th-chome' next time?" Toyama Kazuha thought of something and shuddered, "Wait a minute, the lawyer Yin Teng was at the '4th-chome' of Kenbashi Town yesterday!
"
"This happened just now. Kenbashi Town is heavily guarded. The arsonists probably won't do anything there." Hattori Heiji thought of something and suddenly smiled, "I also know of a fourth-chome—I went to see Mr. Kusukawa today.
At that time, he said that he had a commission, which was..."
"..."
Halfway through, Hattori Heiji cut off his words and closed his mouth.
——I really need to change my habit of getting excited whenever I encounter a mystery. I actually forgot that Jiang Xia was also there.
Hattori Heiji: "..." However, if Jiangxia is here, the client might be safer?
...But I don’t know why, I always feel that things may develop in another bad direction.
Hattori Heiji was extremely confused.
But soon, he found that he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
——Because of what he said, Yuan Shan and Ye also remembered it at this time.
…
Yuan Shan and Ye are not interested in solving puzzles, and of course they are not afraid of spoilers from Jiang Xia.
Moreover, completely opposite to Hattori Heiji, she felt that the faster the mission was solved, the more time she had to play.
So he happily invited foreign aid and revealed all the commissions Hattori Heiji was trying to hide: "When we went to see Mr. Kusukawa in the morning, he was still lying on the hospital bed and couldn't get up, so he asked us to do him a favor.
"He said that he had received a commission a few days ago. The client found that there were always suspicious people walking around the house in the middle of the night, so he asked Mr. Nanchuan to go over and investigate. But before Mr. Nanchuan could go, he was arrested by lawyer Yin Teng
He was caught. So he had to ask Hattori to go check it out for him - the client happened to be in 4-chome, Cupido Town!"
"Well, let's go together tomorrow." Jiang Xia naturally applied to join the team, "The problem can be solved quickly if there are many people, so you will have time to wander around Tokyo."
"Okay." Toyama and Ye remembered the reliable Jiangxia and agreed on Hattori Heiji's behalf.
Hattori Heiji:"……"
He was silent for a moment, then grabbed Conan and said, "You come too."
...He can't be the only one who continues to be polluted by Jiang Xia's spoilers!
Conan: "..."
Mao Lilan shook his head: "Conan is going on an outing with a few children tomorrow."
"Outing?!" Hattori Heiji slapped his hand on the table, stared at Conan, and said with condemnation, "What time has it been, and you still plan to go on an outing at the critical moment when you can catch the arsonist by his tail?!"
