Chapter 275: The fever is so intense

 Conan felt that it was a little too smooth.

He pays attention to a step-by-step approach to solving cases. A serial case must be connected to the last step before the essence of the case can be fully revealed. He likes the process of exploring the truth in the fog and enjoys the pleasure of breaking through the fog and seeing the light again.

But in this case, he felt it was a bit too coincidental.

First, someone saw a suspect who looked like an arsonist nearby, but later he was caught, but it was just a person who looked similar. Then the case that had not been solved for eighteen years was solved today, and there were still two people almost in tandem.

Explorated at the same time.

Then, Officer Takagi was attacked nearby. When they were searching, they found that this was actually the next place the arsonist wanted to set fire to.

If the attacked Takagi is found at the place where he is about to be burned, Conan's suspicion will probably relapse again.

Who allowed Kuroki Jin to get involved in a case that had nothing to do with him?

Thinking of the way Kuroki Jin confidently stated the time of Kano Shuji's plane landing so accurately that he knew better than Sato, the person involved, it's hard not to think about it.

Conan thought to himself that Sato probably also had a question mark on his forehead, but solving the case quickly was the most important thing right now, and it would not be too late to ask the rest later.

"Conan! What are you thinking about?"

Someone tapped the car window from outside, which woke Conan up, but he saw that it was Jin Kuroki who was looking in, bending his waist.

Conan, who was sitting on the far side, quickly opened the car door. After the five people got out of the car, Conan handed the map to Kuroki Jin.

"This is what we just drew. The next place to set fire to is probably Shinagawa."

Kuroki Jin took it, frowned slightly, walked towards Shiratori with the map, handed it to him and told Conan's reasoning.

"It is indeed possible." Shiratori pondered for a moment, "I have already called the Megure Police Department, and Takagi is also missing nearby, so Megure has sent someone over."

"Before igniting a fire, you need to prepare fuel and arrange the site. I think the place of arson should not be in such a bustling area."

Kuroki Ren glanced at the brightly lit street, and then at the dark path in the distance.

"Officer Shiratori, you and the children are here waiting for the people from the Megu Police Department to arrive. I'll go over there and take a look."

The trail looked eerie, and there were no street lights. Not to mention the children, even the white bird was a little frightened and went to explore it at night.

"How about I go with you and let them watch here."

There are also some police officers on site, maintaining order at Shinagawa Station. After all, there was some chaos when they arrested people here.

"No, it's more convenient to be alone." Kuroki Ren rejected Shiratori's kindness, "Besides, I just wanted to take a look. When the Memu Police Department brings someone here, remember to check more of this remote place."
Seeing that he couldn't resist Kuroki Jin, Shiratori had no choice but to do as he said, but the children of the Young Detective Team were not happy.

"We can also go over and inspect the site." As the most knowledgeable of the normal children, Mitsuhiko used the more complicated word "inspection".

"That's right, we have confirmed that this is the fifth arson site." Yuantai directly placed the credit for analyzing the map on the head of the Young Detective Team.

Kuroki smiled and touched his head. Just when Genta thought he was letting go, he heard Kuroki say: "Disobedient children will be killed by the big bad wolf on a dark and windy night."

Captured."

The three of them suddenly trembled.

Kuroki Jin went to check it out alone. The three real children who were frightened had already begun to hesitate whether to follow him any more, and finally they all looked at Conan.

Although Genta always claims to be the leader of the boy detective team, the backbone of this team will always be Edogawa Conan.

"Officer Shiratori, why don't we go and have a look too." Conan also wanted to go in his heart. Although he really wanted to go by himself, he also knew that Shiratori would not let him run away at this time.

Besides, if you go alone, these three things will probably cause a scene.

"But..." Shiratori was still waiting here for Officer Memu to arrive, and he was a little undecided for a moment.

"Officer Shiratori, think about it. Kuroki Jin is just an ordinary citizen. It would be fine if no accident happened. But if he really hit the arsonist and was attacked, but Officer Shiratori was also at the scene, wouldn't it be wrong?

That’s so easy to explain.”

Haibara Ai points out the key to the problem directly. To a certain extent, Kuroki Jin’s approach is like putting the white bird on the fire to roast it.

Shiratori... became even more undecided. Seeing this, Edogawa Conan immediately made the final decision for him.

"Let's go over and see if there are other police officers at the scene."

Kuroki Ren over there had no idea that not ten minutes after he left, an adult had tricked a bunch of children into following him. Now he was walking alone in such a dark alley. Instead of being afraid, he was actually...

A sense of comfort like a fish in water.

The organization always operates in a dark corner behind the light. Their principle is to kill with one strike without leaving any trace. However, because of Gin's words, Kuroki Jin, who started to run the business on the bright side, has not stood in such a dark place for a long time.

place.

Take a look at what he has been doing recently, opening a store, participating in campus garden parties, helping the police solve crimes... what are these things?

It's better to change the situation, he will definitely be happy.

Kuroki Jin came here to investigate and was not just talking casually. When he was walking around, he had been thinking about Takagi at that time. According to the direction Shiratori provided him with the last direction he ran, this was the nearest hiding place.

Takagi couldn't run too far. After all, there were still tasks to be completed at Shinagawa Station, and he couldn't get too close to a place where people could be seen, otherwise the murderer might be discovered when he did it.

Therefore, this residential area close to the main street but full of low-rise buildings is very consistent with the location of Takagi's subconscious behavior at that time.

Especially at this moment when the air is filled with the smell of fuel.

Kuroki Jin knew that he was lucky enough to bet in the right place. If he walked further, he might just hit the scene of the arsonist's operation.

To use the word "fire" in Tokyo, such a high-profile behavior is something he has suppressed since he was a child, and it is also what he understands, organizing the final romance.

When will he be able to walk openly in this country as a member of the organization? Kuroki Jin is already looking forward to this day.

Turning the corner, he saw a dark figure squatting with his back to him in the deeper alley not far away.

The reason why he could see the black shadow in this pitch-black place was thanks to the burning red abandoned warehouse in front of him.

"This last piece of fire..." The mysterious black shadow's voice was a little hoarse, but it was not difficult to hear his excitement.

"The burning is so intense."

Behind him, Kuroki Jin said with admiration.
