Chapter 1180 The Mystery of Red, White and Yellow

"Hey, we've already explained everything we can say this morning, and we've also taken notes. What else do you want us to do?"

"Yes, officer, you don't really think of us as arsonists, do you?"

The three people who got off the police car, except Toru Amuro, the other two complained as usual.

Police Department Zhang stood in front of the three people and explained: "I am a little rushed this morning, and there are still some things that I need to reconfirm with you..."

"Okay, now please go over there with my men."

After all, Police Officer Zhang is an old police officer and still has experience.

He did not directly express his suspicions, nor did he disclose the testimony provided by the Junior Detective Team.

However, Toru Amuro had already guessed that the reason why the three of them were invited here again was because the police believed that there was an arsonist among the three.

In fact, he also had some doubts about the sudden fire in Mima Village Apartment.

Originally, if the police could not find anything, he would have used the police force to investigate.

But now it seems that this is not necessary.

The arsonist should be one of the other two people, as long as he is found...

Toru Amuro looked at the two people walking in front with his eyes like a hawk. When their eyes crossed, he saw a familiar man standing in front of him.

"teacher?"

"Hi~Xiao An."

Qin Zhibo stepped forward and said hello to Toru Amuro.

Police Officer Zhang next to him saw it and looked at the two of them, "Do you know each other?"

Qin Zhibo introduced with a smile: "Xiao An is my disciple, and he was my assistant before."

"I see……"

There was a flash of memory in Police Officer Zhang's eyes. When he routinely interrogated the three people in the morning, the other two were a little irritable. Only this young man was very calm and kept taking the opportunity to express his own opinions.

"Teacher, you..."

Amuro lowered her perspective and saw the young detective team next to Qin Zhibo, so she changed her words: "Why are you here? Did you come here specially after hearing the news of a fire here?"

Qin Zhibo shook his head, "I originally wanted to give you and your relative the same gift, but I didn't expect that there was a fire here..."

"These kids came to see Dr. A Li. When they saw the police car here, they came to join in the fun. We happened to bump into each other."

"By the way, how is the relative who lives with you now?"

relative?

There was a hint of doubt in Toru Amuro's eyes, but she understood immediately.

Qin Zhibo gave Akai Shuichi the status of a "relative".

Although Toru Amuro doesn't want to become "relatives" with Shuichi Akai, he can only follow Qin Zhibo's words for now.

"Thank you, teacher, for your concern. The 'relative' should be fine. He is currently undergoing examination at a nearby hospital. He is expected to be out in the evening."

The "nearby hospital" mentioned by Toru Amuro is obviously Seishi Hospital.

Akai Shuichi turned out to be there...

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo felt relieved.

"Okay, then you go and cooperate with the police first. We will talk about other things later."

"Okay, teacher."

Although Toru Amuro is a disciple of a famous detective, he is not exempt from suspicion.

When Toru Amuro followed the other two to the other side, Police Officer Zhang bent down and asked the young detective team.

"Among the three of them, have you found anyone who looks more like that suspicious person?"

Gentai and Ayumi answered in the negative confidently, "How do we know this?"

"It's because we want to know this that we came to meet with Kairen!"

When Police Officer Zhang heard this, he said with shame: "So that's it, then you should have said it earlier..."

He originally thought that as long as he called the three people over and let the children take a look, he would be able to know who the suspicious person was.

But as the saying goes, if your mouth is hairless, your work will be weak.

If the suspect cannot be found directly this time, it will not be easy to find any reason to call these three people over in the future.

After all, there is currently no direct evidence that the fire was man-made, and everything is just inference.

Conan naturally knew this too, with his hands in his pockets, and just as he was about to take a step forward to ask about the three people's specific situation, he felt a force pulling him behind him.

Conan looked sideways and saw that it was Hui Yuan Ai hiding behind him.

"How's it going? Do you still feel that way?"

"It was a little bit at first, but not too strong..."

"Now, it has completely disappeared..."

Haiyuan Ai frowned slightly and stared at Toru Amuro in the distance without relaxing for a moment.

When Amuro Toru came over just now, Haibara Ai used Conan as a cover to observe him carefully.

But it was only when Toru Amuro looked over at first that she felt a little palpitated.

Later, when Amuro Toru and Qin Zhibo started talking, this feeling disappeared.

However, she still dared not rule out the suspicion easily and wanted to observe for a while.

Conan looked at the hesitant Haibara Ai and felt very helpless.

It can only be said that this is a psychological shadow caused by being frightened by the organization. Even if Gin is dead, this shadow cannot be filled.

Seeing that Hui Yuan Ai still couldn't completely let down his guard, Conan could only give Qin Zhibo a look from a distance.

I can't get away from here, so I leave the case to you...

When Qin Zhibo received Conan's look, he also used the skill [Psychic Communication] picked up from the Kunyang people to reply to him.

Don't worry, just leave it to your father.

When this sentence suddenly appeared in his mind, Conan's expression froze.

What's wrong with this?

Why should I figure out “fatherhood” on my own?

Do I really think of Qin Zhibo as...father?



Qin Zhibo here looked away, not knowing that Conan had fallen into deep self-doubt.

He looked at the other two people except Toru Amuro.

One of the men had OK bandage on his face. His skin was darker than Toru Amuro's, his nose was turned up, and he had a fierce look on his face.

On top of the man's head, his basic information shows that he is Hosoi Ryuhei, 25 years old, and a carpenter.

The other man was short and fat with a big mouth like a toad. His name was Makabe Ginya.

Is it really compelling?

Although he doesn't look like him, he is only 29 years old, the same age as Toru Amuro, and is a stock investor by profession.

The carpenter man and the stock speculator man.

Qin Zhibo wrote down the identities of the two people, then turned to look at Police Officer Zhang and asked.

"Officer Zhang, why were the three of them not in the apartment last night?"

Faced with Qin Zhibo's question, Police Officer Zhang did not answer immediately, but corrected him: "My surname is Gong Zhang..."

"Okay, Officer Zhang."

Police Department Zhang: "..."

Looking at Qin Zhibo's solemn mixed-race face, Police Department Zhang decided not to worry about this. Who allows foreigners to have immunity in this regard?

"The man who put on the OK bandage said he went out drinking with the carpenter's foreman and other people at night... But my men confirmed that he disappeared after 1 a.m."

"He said he drank too much and slept on a park bench all night."

"The fat man said that he went to the cinema to watch an all-night movie. He originally made an appointment to watch it with a netizen, but the netizen failed to make the appointment, so he watched the whole movie by himself."

"He still kept the ticket stubs of the movie tickets, but since it was a midnight automatic ticket theater and there was no one else in the theater at the time, there were no witnesses who could prove it for him..."

"The last one is your disciple. He said he couldn't sleep at night and went for a drive alone..."

"In other words, when the fire broke out at 2:30 in the morning, none of the three of them could prove that they were not at the scene."

Police Department Zhang did not take out the records and read them, he just told the contents orally, and his memory is quite strong.

After listening, Qin Zhibo nodded and groaned.

"So that's it..."

The situation was just as he guessed, none of the three had witnesses.

Among the three, Toru Amuro must have lied.

He drove out in the middle of the night, probably on a mission, maybe from the police, or from a black organization.

Among the other two people, the one who lied was the murderer.

However, no one has died in the case yet. The injured landlord and his son are still being treated in the hospital and are not expected to die.

In other words, this case will not trigger side tasks in the system.

In this case, the case must be solved without investigation points.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while and was about to enter the fire scene to see if he could find anything. Suddenly, Police Officer Zhang seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

"By the way! How could I forget that thing!"

He quickly called for one of his men to fetch something.

Soon, the men who returned brought an evidence bag. Inside the bag was a notebook with a butterfly cover, but it was a little blackened by the smoke.

He took out the notebook from the bag and explained: "This is the diary of the landlord's son that we found this morning. The most recent entry in the diary contains some strange content..."

"Based on what the children said, the contents of this diary may be related to the arsonist."

When the three little ones next to me heard this, they quickly shouted for Police Officer Zhang to read out the contents of the diary.

Police Chief Zhang glanced at Qin Zhibo first, then opened the diary and read.

"July 4th, the weather was very bad early this morning, but I still had to get up early to go to school, but the red people could sleep in."

"After I came back from school, I fell down at the entrance, but the white one was getting ready to go out. I'm so lucky."

"At dusk, the colored people seem to be making delicious food again, and they are so greedy. Sometimes I really envy the red people, who can sleep in all day and still have delicious food."

"Tonight, all the colored people, white people, and yellow people have gone out, leaving only my father and me. I originally wanted to play for a while, but members of the detective team are coming to the house tomorrow, so it's better to go early.

Go to sleep."

"Who is it? You were still quarreling with your father in the middle of the night. He is a pornographic person. He probably did those suspicious things and your father found out about it?"

"It's too scary. It's better to cover your ears and sleep... I will tell Edogawa about this tomorrow morning."

The content of a diary is like a running account, but the characters in it are all represented by colors, which adds a lot of suspense.

However, based on what is currently known, the contents of the diary are not difficult to decipher.

The colored people, the white people, and the yellow people are Toru Amuro, the carpenter man, and the stock speculator man who left the apartment last night respectively.

Among them, the key word for colorful people is that they are good at making delicious food.

People are envious that red people can eat these delicious foods, which means that red people and colored people should be roommates.

Combined with the fact that the red person sleeps in every day, it is obvious that this person is Akai Shuichi.

In fact, Akai Shuichi does not necessarily sleep at home, but in the simple concept of children, not going out when it is time to go to work and school is a symbol of laziness.

Then the colorful person is Toru Amuro.

The other two people are the white person and the yellow person.

Among them, the yellow person had a dispute with the landlord in the middle of the night.

If it corresponds to the carpenter man and the stock trader man, one of the two men left the event midway and quarreled with the landlord.

During the quarrel, one of the two people must have knocked the landlord unconscious.

After all, even Shuichi Akai, a semi-disabled person in the recovery stage, was able to escape from the fire, but the landlord was directly burned, indicating that the landlord was in a state of losing the ability to escape at that time.

But I still don’t know how this child was named...

Why is Shuichi Akai called a red person?

Why are Toru Amuro called a person of color?

This is definitely not named after the color these people like, because the color Amuro Toru likes cannot be colorful.

Qin Zhibo was thinking, when suddenly, a scene from the past appeared in his mind.

When I first went to the landlord's house to discuss apartment leasing, I saw a large number of toy cars in the landlord's house, which the landlord bought for his children.

Children are often easily inspired by the things they like and do something.

For example: Name someone whose name you don’t know.

If it is the color of the car, it seems understandable.

Shuichi Akai is a red person, and red is a fire truck.

When he first met Akai Shuichi from the parallel world, he was watering the flowers in this yard.

It is estimated that Shuichi Akai of this world has also watered flowers in the yard. The action of watering reminds children of a fire truck.

Toru Amuro is a colorful person, most likely because the food trucks that make various foods are colorful.

As for the remaining two people...

"Now it seems that this 'yellow man' is very suspicious...but who is he?"

"yellow……"

Police Officer Zhang frowned and was about to ask everyone about their favorite colors when Qin Zhibo spoke up.

He smiled slightly and said, "Officer Zhang, I think I know who this 'yellow man' is..."

"But before confronting this man, I want your men to look for something in the yard."

"Something?" Police Officer Zhang asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Qin Zhibo told Police Officer Zhang in his ear. After hearing this, Police Officer Zhang immediately sent his men into the yard.

But the three little ones looked at Qin Zhibo's mysterious look, felt itchy in their hearts, and shouted to tell them the truth.

When Qin Zhibo saw that the three boys wanted to show off so much, and since there was no side mission this time, Qin Zhibo simply gave the performance opportunity to the Young Detective Team.

Think of it as a small gift for your children and classmates~
