"Beep Beep Boop~"
"Puff~"
The sound of burning buildings and the sound of high-pressure water hitting the flames echoed around. Large swaths of water vapor and heat waves carrying the smell of smoke spread in the surroundings with the evening breeze.
"Masked Superman airs at 7:30. The little brother just now said he saw it when the opening song was first aired..." Conan held his chin in thought in this environment.
Hattori understood, "That is to say, the arsonist put the red horse on the window sill at about half past seven and set the fire!"
"I said, you two have to discuss the case in such a dangerous place, right? Aren't you afraid that there is a gas tank inside?" Hoshino Sora was speechless. There is only a wall between this place and the burning house. You can feel it even standing here. There was an overwhelming heat wave. Although it was completely inferior to the aftermath of a nuclear bomb explosion, it was still smoky to ordinary people.
"Uh..." Conan and Hattori felt ashamed.
Not to mention it was okay, but as soon as they said it, they couldn't stand it any longer. The sultry heat wave and the soot blowing into their faces were really uncomfortable.
"Leave here first!" Hattori said quickly.
Hoshino Sora held them under his armpits one by one, took one step forward, and jumped away from here. When he came to Maori Kogoro, he put them down.
Mouri Kogoro asked dissatisfiedly, and Hattori had to explain with a smile.
"By the way, shall we go back first?" Hoshino Sora asked.
"What are you talking about? This is obviously someone who set the fire deliberately. Of course we have to enter the crime scene to check as soon as possible after putting out the fire! Maybe we can find some useful clues!" Hattori yelled immediately.
"This fire won't be extinguished for a while, so let's go eat something nearby, and call Xiaolan and the others by the way to tell them not to wait and just prepare a midnight snack." Hoshino Sora suggested.
"I just told Kazuye..." Hattori changed the topic, "Of course, I didn't mention the late night snack, but I have a hunch that we will go back very late, so you can make a call. Let them prepare."
"Why didn't you say it yourself?" Hoshino Sora asked doubtfully.
"If I call Kazuha, she will be fussy and complain endlessly. I don't want my ears to suffer." Hattori complained.
"Yesterday I wanted to hold He Ye in my arms, but today I don't want to hear a word. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I can already foresee the future. You open a firm and He Ye becomes a lawyer. Uncle will be your template." Hoshino Sora grinned. Start teasing.
"Baga, what are you talking about, you brat?" Mouri Kogoro jumped.
Hattori also yelled: "Idiot, how could I be reduced to the status of an uncle! It's impossible to even think about it! And that woman He Ye is not the material to be a lawyer at all..."
"!!!" Maori Kogoro said furiously, "You two bastards, my dish for drinking today is fried pork with bamboo shoots!"
Hoshino Sora ran away first. Hattori looked embarrassed and wanted to explain, but when he saw the uncle rushing toward him, he couldn't help but dodge first, and then shouted: "Wait a minute, uncle, I'm not belittling at all." You mean, with your level as a third-rate detective, it’s already incredible to have your current status..."
Conan looked at Hattori, who was being chased by his uncle, and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth, shouting in his heart: "You really know how to talk! Could it be that your unbridled teasing is contagious?"
While thinking, he also followed.
…
An hour and a half later, the fire could no longer be seen through the window. Hoshino Sora and others ended the buffet and returned to the Morokaku House where the fire occurred.
By the time they arrived, the scene had been cordoned off, and police officers were on alert to prohibit unauthorized persons from entering.
Hattori was probably used to being a prince in his hometown. He looked carefree and wanted to directly enter the scene to check by scanning his face, but the result...
He was immediately stopped by the police.
"Please, we want to see the scene of the burning house, soon." Hattori finally remembered that this was not Osaka anymore, so he politely asked the police officer to be accommodating.
Conan said cutely: "Then you can tell us where the fire started."
"No - okay -" the police officer crossed his hands on his chest and refused directly.
"Of course the police won't tell you guys like you. In this case, I, a famous detective, have to take action..." Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri smiled proudly, stepped forward, and said confidently The police officer smiled and asked, "Hello, Mr. Police Officer, I, Kogoro Mouri, suspect that this is an arson case, so please do me a favor. If you can't go in to check, you might as well reveal some information, even if it's just a moment." Little by little..."
The police officer knew Mao Li and was very respectful, but he still declined politely, "Sorry, Mr. Mao Li, even if it is you, I can't let you in, let alone reveal anything to you. Please understand..."
"Ahem, I'm a good brother with Officer Megure from the 1st Search Division..." Seeing that he couldn't rely on face to make a way out, Mouri Kogoro was unwilling to give up and winked in an attempt to get closer.
"Hey, the fire scene is not under the jurisdiction of the Violent Crime Department. Even if you call Megure over, he can't help you. What? You have become a detective and you have forgotten all this? Mori~"
At this time, a rough and joking voice came from behind everyone.
Hoshino Sora also smelled the smell of smoke keenly and couldn't help but turn around.
"Fire Daddy!" Hoshino Sora and Mouri Kogoro shouted in unison.
"..." The burly police officer, who was as tall as Hattori and held a cigarette in his mouth, slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at the two of them, and finally looked at Mouri, and said speechlessly, "Akong called him that. Forget it, but Maoli, I am also your former boss after all, so you call me that too?"
"Aha~" Mouri Kogoro scratched his head in embarrassment, "Yumi Naga Police Department!"
"Previous boss?" Hattori looked at the sudden appearance of the Yumaga Police Department with a puzzled look on his face, "Daddy Fire?"
"Ahem, this is Police Chief Yumagawa of the Arsonist Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department. He was also my superior when I was a police officer." Mouri Kogoro quickly explained.
"Isn't that right? Didn't you hang out with Officer Megure before?" Hattori frowned.
"I also remember that my uncle used to handle cases together with Officer Megure. The first case between Shinichi and I was settled by you." Hoshino Sora nodded.
"I started working in the arsonist investigation department..." Mouri Kogoro explained.
Hearing this, the Gongchang Police Department joked: "I've suffered a lot from you. As soon as the fire broke out, I concluded that it was arson. I broke into the scene directly and trampled the items in the scene into a mess. I don't know how many times I complained to the fire department." Now...you still remember these, Maori?"
Mouri Kogoro's mouth twitched in apology, but he was complaining about each other in his heart.
"Officer Megure has a similar complaint. The uncle really has a way of leaving an impression on his superiors. By the way, does the same apply to my father-in-law?" Hoshino Sora complained.
Maori Kogoro:"!!!"
