Mitsuhiko took the initiative to talk to Chi Feichi, causing Chi Feichi to miss the opportunity to tease Haibara Ai, "Have you heard about the recent arson case in Mihua Town?"
"There have been two arson incidents recently!" Yuantai gathered around the coffee table and counted his hands with a serious face, "The first one happened four days ago, and the second one happened two days ago. According to this arson rule,
Calculating, a third arson incident is likely to occur tonight!"
Bumi looked a little worried, "And our investigation found that similar serial arson incidents also occurred last year..."
Mitsuhiko took out his notepad and looked down at his notes, "During this time last year, there were five arson incidents in Yoneka Town, all in the children's park. In addition, the first and second arson incidents occurred last year.
The location is the same as the location where the first and second arson incidents occurred this year..."
Conan originally thought it was just an ordinary arson case, but after hearing Mitsuhiko mention that the same arson incident occurred in the same place last year, he became serious and recalled the consecutive arson cases reported last year.
He remembered the consecutive arson incidents in the children's park last year. Because someone was killed in the fourth arson incident, it suddenly attracted a lot of people's attention. However, after the fifth arson incident, the criminal did not commit another crime, and the police did not
Catch the criminal...
"Did the arsonists from last year act again?" Dr. Ali was also thinking about the arson incidents that occurred last year, and became worried. "I heard that someone was killed in the serial arson incidents last year, and the police never caught the culprit.
If that criminal commits another crime, it would be really dangerous!"
"It is indeed possible that the prisoner from last year committed another crime, but it may also be a copycat crime," Haihara Ai said, noticing that Conan frowned and asked in a low voice in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you very concerned about this arson incident?"
?”
Conan responded in a low voice, "Last year I talked to Xiaolan about the serial arson cases in the children's park. Xiaolan told me that the children's park where the third arson incident occurred was not far from the Maori Detective Agency."
Speaking of the children's park near the Mori Detective Agency, Haibara Ai immediately thought of a place and said in surprise, "It's hard, can you say..."
"The most important thing is that the report mentioned that the location of the third arson incident last year was at the 5th-chome of Yoneka Town." Mitsuhiko said seriously the answer that Ai Haihara had in mind, "that is, the one behind the Seven Detective Agency."
Children’s Park!”
"Wha, what?!" Dr. Ali looked at Chi Feichi and Koshizui Nanatsuki in surprise.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki was also surprised and turned to Chi Feichi for confirmation, "Did such an incident happen in that children's park?"
"I rarely came to Mihua Town last year, and I didn't pay attention to the arson incident in Mihua Town," Chi Feichi said, "so I don't know."
"That's right. If you really think about it, I moved into Miwa Town earlier than you did." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked away and recalled, "No one usually goes to that children's park, but before, I and I
When chatting with neighbors, no one told me that there had been an arson incident in the children's park before..."
"Maybe it's because the third incident did not have serious consequences. Now that a year has passed, no one is discussing it anymore," Conan said. "It was actually the fourth arson incident that led to the death of others last year."
"No matter what, we have to catch the prisoner as soon as possible," Yuantai said with an upright face, "otherwise, someone else is likely to be killed this year!"
"It's the police's job to catch criminals," Haihara Ai reminded silently, "It's not the primary school students' turn to worry about such dangerous matters, right?"
"But we are a young detective team!" Yuantai said confidently, "This is an incident that happened on our territory, how can we ignore it?"
"We came to the doctor's house today just to discuss this matter," Mitsuhiko turned his attention to Chi Feichi and Yuesui Nanatsuki and said seriously, "If brother Chi and sister Nanatsuki hadn't come to the doctor's house today, we would have
I will also go to the Seven Detective Agency in the afternoon to remind you to be careful of arsonists and pay attention to your safety!"
"The city hall has organized manpower to patrol at night," Ayumi added, "We have already signed up for tonight's patrol activity, and we have also specially selected the team responsible for patrolling the fifth-chome..."
"Because according to the pattern of arson cases last year, the criminal is likely to set a fire in the Fifth Chome Children's Park tonight," Mitsuhiko turned to look at Conan, "We will patrol the Fifth Chome tonight. The chance of catching the criminal is the highest.
!”
Conan: "..."
Hey, hey, Mitsuhiko looked at him and said this, could it be that...
"We signed up for patrol in the name of the Youth Detective Team," Genta glanced at Conan, "Conan and Haibara are going too!"
Conan complained in his mind, 'Sure enough,' but he did not object. He complained, "You guys are really strong in action..."
"Of course!" Yuantai said proudly.
Hui Yuan Ai was a little helpless, "Isn't this a compliment to you..."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled and asked curiously, "Since the third arson incident last year occurred in the children's park behind the Seven Detective Agency, why don't you consider going to the Seven Detective Agency to ambush? There is a place in the attic of the Seven Detective Agency
A large window can see the children's park behind, which is very suitable for observing the situation of the park behind..."
"Of course we have considered this," Mitsuhiko explained seriously, "but it is not yet certain that the prisoner will act according to last year's crime pattern, so we still plan to patrol first..."
Yuantai scratched his head in embarrassment, "But if we don't get anything during the patrol, we want to stay at the Seven Detectives' Office for a night..."
"The patrol will end at ten o'clock in the evening. We will go to the Seven Detective Office then," Ayumi cast an expectant look at Chi Feichi and Koshisui Nanatsuki, "Is this okay?"
Facing the expectant looks of the three children, Chi Feichi and Koshizui Nanatsuki couldn't refuse, so they nodded and agreed.
Then, the three children climbed up the pole and made a small wish - to have dinner at the Seventh Detective Agency.
Chi Feichi agreed directly. After eating a curry rice at Dr. Agasa's house, he and Koshizu Nanatsuki got up to say goodbye and went to the street to buy ingredients for dinner.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the Young Detective Team arrived at the Seven Detective Agency as agreed, and also brought Dr. Agasa, who would have been alone at home.
The six of them followed Koshimizu Nanatsuki upstairs and soon saw a large table of steaming dishes on the second floor.
Koshizui Nanatsuki saw the six people staring blankly at the dishes on the table, and introduced the dinner menu to Chi Feichi.
"There is also a tea tree mushroom old duck soup." Koshizui Nanatsuki saw that there was no soup bowl on the table yet and looked at Chi Feichi in the kitchen. "We went to the poultry ingredient store and bought the ones that have been raised for a long time.
Whole duck, Mr. Chi said that this kind of duck stew will be more fragrant, but the stewing time will also take a little longer..."
"The soup is ready," Chi Feichi served the soup in a soup bowl in the kitchen. "You guys put the bowls and chopsticks in place, and then you can start eating."
Mitsuhiko still looked at the dining table blankly, "There are so many dishes tonight..."
Yuantai stared at the dining table with both hands, almost drooling, "The smell of food is everywhere, so happy!"
Bumi sweated, "If we don't catch the prisoner tonight, I feel a little sorry for the sumptuous dinner prepared by Brother Chi..."
"Don't think like that, even if we can't catch the prisoner, Brother Fei Chi will make delicious food for us..." Haiyuan Ai was worried that the children would be brave at night and chase the prisoner and get injured, so she comforted them and took the lead to the dining table.
"Come on, let's go put the dishes and chopsticks in place!"
Although she comforted the children so much, Brother Chi cooked so many dishes tonight, it was really like holding a swearing-in banquet, so grand that even she felt psychological pressure...
