Shu Yunwen thought about this and glanced at Yuanzi speechlessly. Yuanzi continued to stare at the newspaper and suddenly said "Ah":
"The three recent arson cases in Tokyo have been determined to be caused by the same person and are being investigated together. However, do the police have no clues yet? Really, the police are too incompetent, right?"
"Arson case?" Shu Yunwen was slightly startled, then took the newspaper from Yuanzi's hand and glanced at it:
"...hasn't this arson case been solved yet?"
"Yes!" Sonoko nodded, "...The prisoner has set fires in three places: Ikebukuro, Asakusa Bridge, and Tabata. Each time he set fires, he set fires after dark at night, and the targets he chose were also different. They were all wooden buildings. By the time the fire trucks arrived, the ignited buildings were all reduced to ashes..."
"...But fortunately, no one lives in the place he chose to set fire to, and no one was killed..."
After Sonoko finished speaking, Aizawa Eisuke suddenly leaned over from the side and said, "Are you talking about the recent serial arsonist? That guy is very cruel. Although he has not killed anyone yet, he will still be killed if he does. Sooner or later..."
Sonoko said "Ah!", turned to look at Eisuke Aizawa, and said with a curl of his lips: "Huize, who did you listen to this, as if you knew it very well... I said, could it be that you are blind? You guessed it, right?"
"What are you guessing?" Aizawa Eisuke immediately retorted, "...I heard this from my friend! His home is near Asakusa Bridge, and he was one of the first people to discover the third fire! After he discovered that there was a fire, he stayed there to watch, and after the fire was extinguished, he saw that the firefighters found many burnt bodies of cats, dogs and other animals!”
"...Later, he also eavesdropped on the words of the policeman who rushed to the scene. The police officer said that these animals were killed and burned at the scene, and in the first two cases, there were also animal carcasses... …”
As soon as Eisuke Aizawa finished speaking, the girls around him who were curious to hear the excitement exclaimed: "What? Kill cats and dogs and burn their bodies? How could that prisoner do this?"
"How disgusting! What does he think of life?"
"No wonder Huize said that man was cruel..."
"..."
The girl in the first area was chirping, and Shu Yunwen also frowned——
By the way, if it is true as Eisuke Aizawa said, this arsonist is simply a pervert who has no regard for life!
Since he can kill cats and dogs pointlessly now, he might actually evolve to the point of killing people in the future...
Shu Yunwen was thinking in his heart when Yuanzi suddenly waved his fist and said seriously: "Sir Yunwen, how can we stand by and watch in the face of such a cruel criminal? After school this afternoon, let's go catch that prisoner together! Bet! Gain the reputation of my famous detective Sonoko!"
After Yuanzi finished speaking, the corners of Shu Yunwen's mouth twitched twice, and then a black line appeared on his forehead——
What the hell! Is this idiot Sonoko possessed by the washing machine, or has his brain gone crazy after being anesthetized by Conan several times? What kind of detective are you?
Still arresting criminals? Just don't get caught by the criminals...
Shu Yunwen complained a few words in his heart, then coughed lightly and said: "Yuanzi, catching the arsonist is a matter for the police, so let's not cause trouble! Besides, I have other things to do after school in the afternoon..."
"Something else?" Yuanzi was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he chuckled, "...Are you going to go on a date with Sister Shumei?"
"Uh, no." Shu Yunwen shook his head, "... I have a friend who has something to do. He asked me to meet at the Spider Immortal Shrine today. I want to take my apprentice to see the world..."
"Spider Immortal Shrine?" Yuanzi was surprised, "Are you going to take your disciples to see Lord Spider Immortal? I want to go too..."
"That's right! It seems that I haven't met Mr. Yunwen's disciple yet. I heard from Sister Shumei that she is a gentle, beautiful and lovely freshman girl in high school. I really want to meet her..."
Shu Yunwen curled his lips when he heard this: "No, Miss Takeda doesn't like too many people... If you want to meet my apprentice, I will find a time to introduce you to him later..."
"Um...Okay!~" Yuanzi nodded.
…
At 4:30 in the afternoon, inside Keqin's Spiritual Exorcist Office.
In the reception room, Shu Yunwen sat casually on the sofa, and Kimijima Kana stood respectfully beside him, meeting with the guests who happened to come to the office.
This guest was a woman named Ebihara Hisumi. She seemed to be from some mermaid island. After seeing Shu Yunwen, she started talking nonchalantly, as if she wanted to ask about immortality.
Shu Yunwen listened to her talk a lot, and then couldn't help but interrupt with a smile: "Sorry, Miss Ebihara, as far as I know, immortality is simply impossible. Anyone who is human will die. But some people die earlier, and some people die later..."
"Really, really? But, the longevity woman on our island is over one hundred and thirty years old. It is said that she ate the flesh of a mermaid, so she will live forever... Oh, that's right! We still have mermaids on the island. Mermaid bones have been found before, and they were probably left behind by Changshou Po after she ate mermaids..." Ebihara Hisumi immediately started to defend, and then looked at Shu Yunwen with distrust:
"...I say, Master Yunwen, don't you believe in the existence of mermaids?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Yunwen curled his lips and explained: "...Ms. Ebihara, mermaids are real, I am sure of this. However, eating mermaids will make you immortal. That is pure nonsense and nonsense..."
After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, before Ebihara Hisumi could speak, Kimijima Kana couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, do mermaids really exist? Aren't those myths and legends?"
Shu Yunwen listened to Kimijima Kana's question and replied with a smile: "...You also talked about myths and legends just now. Do you know where myths and legends come from? The so-called myths and legends are actually from people like us in ancient times. The deeds were formed after some 'artistic processing'. As for the 'mermaid' we are talking about now, it is not as mysterious as you think. It is nothing more than the product of experiments by some wizards, shamans, and monks who like to do random experiments..."
"Uh... the mermaid is an experimental product?" Kimijima Kana was stunned.
"Yes!" Shu Yunwen nodded, "Not just mermaids, but also legendary werewolves, kobolds, two-headed monsters, etc. It's just that this kind of 'human experiment' between different species It is very repellent, and most of the experimental subjects failed. Later, some wizards and monks used their own bodies for experiments, and they were able to survive the body's rejection and reproduce offspring..."
"...After that, ordinary people gradually mastered tools and became stronger. This kind of 'creatures' were hunted by ordinary people, and became less and less..."
PS: I’m a little stuck, so that’s just this chapter today.
