A restaurant.
Situ Xiu, Koizumi Anko, Xiaolan, Moori Kogoro, Conan, Kazuha, and Hattori Heiji sat together, drinking hot tea and chatting about the arson case.
"Tie a match to an incandescent light bulb, and tie a paper towel... When the match ignites due to the heat of the incandescent light bulb, the paper towel will also burn. Add gasoline, and the house will burn instantly, which will remove the proof of alibi. This modus operandi is very likely.”
"Yes, even if the arsonist is not present, the house will automatically burn down, so no one will suspect it."
After hearing the clues found by Situ Xiu, Hattori Heiji and Conan each analyzed that the arsonist's purpose was to create an alibi.
"Are you too sensitive? Incandescent light bulbs and paper towels just happened to be together. For example, the light bulb on the bedside table also had an incandescent light bulb, and the paper towels happened to be there, and they burned together after a fire."
Mouri Kogoro expressed his opinion in disapproval, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip of beer. If this was the modus operandi, no one died in the three arson cases.
Hattori Heiji and Conan both looked at Mouri Kogoro with dead eyes, murmuring in their hearts, it’s only with policemen like you, no, it’s the current confused detectives who can’t solve the case.
Hattori Heiji thought for a while: "Xiao Xiu, you suspect that Takashi Genda is an arsonist. Contrary to you, I think he may not be an arsonist because the modus operandi is to prove his alibi, but Takashi Genda is always at the scene of the fire. This Very contradictory".
"It is indeed contradictory, but the arsonist's thinking is different from ours. He may have deliberately wandered there to attract attention. Anyway, there is no evidence to prove that he set the fire, right?" Situ Xiu said.
At first, he didn't think Xuantian Takashi was an arsonist, but the tracking along the way was very suspicious, and the red horse toy that Guan Yu sat on was given as a gift. Both actions proved that he was an arsonist.
Everyone was silent.
Koizumi Anko suddenly thought of something. She took out the box from her bag and put it on the dining table. She opened the box and said, "This is a free gift from Gentian Takashi when we were at his house at noon."
"Guan Yu?" Xiaolan was a little surprised.
Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in one hand and the horse rope in the other, sitting on a red horse.
"Red horse?"
Hattori Heiji, Conan, and Mouri Kogoro focused their attention on the red horse Guan Yu sat on. According to the red horse left at the scene of the arson, the red horse should be similar to this toy.
He Ye looked at the toy, held his chin with one finger, and said, "I remember that Guan Yu is the god who blesses business with prosperity, that is, the god of wealth."
"Ah, do you still mean this?" Koizumi Hongzi was stunned.
The others were thoughtful.
"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to mention. Xuanda Takashi has some mental problems. He seems to have been going to a mental hospital frequently recently."
There were several things that Situ Xiu didn't tell about, including a bug. This discovery was not a normal way, so he didn't tell anyone about it.
Everyone was shocked.
Xuanda Takashi is mentally ill, which greatly increases the possibility of being an arsonist and cannot be treated as a normal person.
"I take back what I just said." Hattori Heiji said with a serious look on his face, "Judging from this red horse, Takashi Kuroda is highly suspected of committing the crime, and it is very likely that he committed a series of arson cases."
Everyone: "..........".
Can your position not waver?
At this moment, several waiters came over with a dining cart and brought plates of delicious food to the table. There were not many, only fifteen plates of delicious food.
Mouri Kogoro took a sip of beer and said: "Several clues point to Xuanda Takashi. This is just a guess and cannot be used as evidence."
"Evidence?" Hattori Heiji pinched his chin, "By the way, let's go investigate Mr. Kusukawa's commission tomorrow. The next target of the arsonist is the 4th-chome. It just so happens that the target of the investigation is the 4th-chome of Cupido Town. Maybe that The person Gui Gui Chong Chong is Xuantian Takashi is looking for a target for arson."
After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, he touched Conan's head and said with a smile: "Anyway, there is nowhere to go to rest these days. My uncle and I will take Conan and Xiaoxiu to visit that house tomorrow."
"No..." Xiaolan and Koizumi Hongzi said in unison.
"Why! Didn't you also investigate the arson case today?" Hattori Heiji looked at Koizumi Anko in confusion.
"Xiao Xiu is going on an outing tomorrow."
"Conan is also going on an outing."
Hearing what the two said, Hattori Heiji was stunned, widened his eyes and shouted: "Outing? No way! You are going on an outing. You may find clues to the serial arsonist this time. This is not a leisurely time like going hand in hand for an outing. do you know?"
"What are you doing? They are still children. Of course they focus on playing." He Ye frowned.
"Child..." Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched.
Situ Xiu smiled and continued to eat the delicious food. It was hard to say whether he could go on an outing tomorrow because the weather was a bit bad and the outing would be canceled if it rained.
Conan was eating barbecue with a nonchalant expression. Xiaolan had already decided what to do tomorrow for him. What else could he say? He could only go on an outing. Children in boarding houses had no human rights.
After taking a few sips of beer, Mouri Kogoro said: "The weather is gloomy. It has been raining lightly all day, and it may rain again tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I'll get a clear-sweeper to hang when I get back. The weather will be fine the next day." Xiaolan smiled slightly.
Tokyo is very superstitious about sweeping the sun. As long as it rains, it will definitely clear up the next day.
"..." Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows, biting his chopsticks with displeasure on his face.
After dinner, it was already past 6 o'clock. Koizumi Hongzi, Kazuye, and Xiaolan made an appointment to go shopping together tomorrow, and then went home to rest.
Hattori Heiji and Kazuha naturally came to the Mori Detective Agency and slept with Ye and Xiaolan, while the other three slept in the same bed.
When Xiaolan returned home, she made a sweeper and hung it by the window of the living room, with her head facing outside.
Hattori Heiji stared at Saharu-niang in displeasure. Beside him, Conan yawned and said, "What are you looking at? You can't have any bad ideas."
"Ah, what are you talking about?" Hattori Heiji pretended not to understand.
"Heiji, it's your turn to take a shower," Kazuha's voice came.
"good".
Hearing this, Hattori Heiji pulled Conan towards the shower room, and then said: "Conan, let's go take a shower and I'll rub your back."
"No, it hurts too much when you rub it. I'll do it myself." Conan refused.
night.
In the living room of the Maori Detective Agency, a dark figure flashed across the room. He reached out to the window and turned Sao Qingniang's head into the room. After doing this, the dark figure raised the corners of his mouth slightly and turned around and returned to the house.
...........
Metropolitan Police Department.
Miwako Sato led a team to solve a kidnapping case. When the superiors learned about it, they praised her greatly, and even the Megure Police Department was also praised.
Of course, the Megure Police Department knew about Sato's private actions because it was authorized by him.
After the three gangsters finished recording their confessions, Sato Miwako explained to her colleagues and immediately went to search the department where the first arsonist group was located.
"It's Officer Sato, she's here again."
"They must be here to find me."
"Go away, I don't know what you look like."
"At least it's better than you, you old-fashioned face."
"Officer Sato is so beautiful. She looks so good when she smiles. I want to faint."
"I heard that Officer Sato is trying to find out about the arsonist."
The police officers, who were about to get off work, suddenly saw Sato Miwako coming in from the door, her eyes shining with wolf eyes.
Sato Miwako glanced at the police officers who were searching the first section with a smile, and then walked to a desk and chair, where a woman was typing on the computer keyboard.
"Hui Dai, are you free?"
When Huida heard Sato Miwako's words, she stopped moving, raised her head, and said with a smile: "It's Miwako, what's the matter?"
"I want to ask about Takashi Kuroda in the serial arson case," Miwako Sato said.
"Why are you suddenly interested in this case..." Hui Dai asked.
"I'm just curious..." Sato Miwako smiled.
Huide could see that Sato Miwako didn't want to talk, so she didn't ask any more questions. She took out a fire incident investigation record book from the table and flipped it through.
"Takashi Genda, we found out that he has been in and out of mental hospitals frequently recently, and sometimes goes to the building at Aipido Station, seemingly to go to a fortune teller for divination. Also, I heard that he will also go to a Feng Shui master to check the Feng Shui in the store. Seems to be obsessed with these two..."
"Shop? His antique shop, do you know the address?"
"In the antique street of Cupido-cho, the signboard is Genda Antique Shop, which is very conspicuous."
After inquiring about two more things, Miwako Sato said hello and left. On the way, she met Wataru Takagi, and the two of them headed to the building of Abedo Station together.
People in Tokyo are very enthusiastic about fortune telling. Whether they are worried or asking about the future, many people go to fortune tellers every day to have fortune telling. There are many fortune tellers setting up stalls underground near the Aipido Station building.
Sato Miwako asked the people there about Xuantian Takashi and learned that Xuantian Takashi often consulted a fortune teller named Gondo Itoko.
"Xuantian Takashi? Who are you and why are you asking about him?" Gondo Izuko's eyes flickered slightly.
"We are the police." Miwako Sato took out her police card and said, "He was recently involved in an arson case. We want to know what he said here."
"Uh...he always comes to ask about the fortune for a few days as usual..."
Gondo Izuko recalled it for a moment, her expression changed slightly, and she continued: "By the way, he seemed to have said that he had been sleepwalking a lot recently, and he went to see a doctor, who prescribed him a sedative."
"Is there anything else?" Miwako Sato asked.
"No more." Gondo Izuko shook his head.
"Thank you for bothering me."
Sato Miwako said hello and left with Takagi Wataru, heading to the next destination, the Antique Street in Cupido Town.
Antique Street is a street that sells antique goods. There are real and fake goods. Just use your eyes to identify them. If you are lucky, you will make a profit. If you are not lucky, you will be unlucky.
The signboard of Genda Antique Shop was hung very high. Sato Miwako saw it at a glance. When she entered the store, she did not see Genda Takashi, so she asked the staff about the Feng Shui master who performed Feng Shui in the store.
I fucked my husband!
Xuantian Takashi trusts a Feng Shui master very much. Whether it is the Feng Shui of the store or the Feng Shui of his home, he will come to this Feng Shui master to check it out.
Unfortunately, the store clerk didn't know Soga's husband's address, so Miwako Sato had to give up and send the information she found to Situ Xiu.
"Officer Sato, it's so... too late... or else..."
Looking at Sato Miwako's face, Takagi Wataru stammered, his heart was beating hard, and he was sweating nervously.
"Ah, it's 7 o'clock! It's very late, Takagi, thank you, it's time to go back and rest." Sato Miwako smiled and waved her hand.
"I..." Takagi Wataru opened his mouth, but before he could say what he wanted to say, Sato Miwako was already gone.
How about we go to dinner together...
Takagi Sheba sighed, why do things always fall apart at critical moments? Why are you so nervous?
...........
The villa of Situ Xiu's family.
In the bedroom, after taking a shower, Situ Xiu lay comfortably on the bed, thinking about the arson case. After a while, a message came on his phone.
He picked it up and saw a message from Sato Miwako.
Fortune teller? Gondo Ikeko.
Feng shui master? I fucked my husband.
Situ Xiu was stunned. Both of them relied on their skills to deceive people. Xuantian Takashi actually believed this. However, these two guys were quite powerful and could fool Xuantian Takashi.
Then again, Xuantian Takashi seems to be an honest person, and it is difficult to associate him with an arsonist. Situ Xiu suspected Xuantian Takashi was an arsonist because he was following them all the way.
It's like someone is always following you wherever you go, and anyone will suspect that that person has impure intentions.
Thought for a while.
"Do you think these two guys are the ones who installed the bugs?"
Situ Xiu suddenly had a bold idea. The two people eavesdropped on Xuantian Long, used the information they heard for divination and feng shui, and deceived Xuantian Long to defraud him of money.
"Young Master. I think it's very possible. If it's not true, it's just eavesdropping on other people's information," the invisible Gengar said.
"Divination and Feng Shui in this world are all fake. Those two bugs must have been installed by them," Guisi said.
After listening to the words of the two elves, Situ Xiu thought for a while: "There is another question. If those two people installed the bugs, wouldn't they often sneak into Xuantian Takashi's house? Then Xuantian Takashi's house would be in chaos the next day. Sleepwalking?"
"I'm not sure about this. Doesn't he have a mental problem? Could this be the reason?" said the Night Demon.
"Maybe I'm overthinking, he's really sleepwalking." Situ Xiu shook his head. A thought just flashed through his mind. The arson case was framed by someone else.
"Master, um... I have a very bold idea..." Guisi said.
"You have a lot of bold ideas lately, tell me." Situ Xiu lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
"Three consecutive cases of arson have involved Takashi Xuanda nearby. Could it be that he listened to the fortune tellers and Feng Shui masters and would go there every time a fire broke out?" Gui Si said.
"Hiss~ Your bold idea inspired me, it's a bit scary." Situ Xiu took a breath.
People who believe in divination and Feng Shui are very superstitious. If the master casually says that wherever good Feng Shui can absorb luck and bring good luck, Xuanda Takashi will definitely go there. In other words, if these two people are arsonists, every time they choose If a good place is set on fire, Xuantian Takashi will be asked to go there.
The purpose is obviously to find a scapegoat.
"Master, could it be that he followed us today because he listened to the fortune teller?" said the Night Dark Demon.
"What's the connection?" Situ Xiu was confused.
"Uh...I just doubt..." the Night Demon said weakly.
"............" Situ Xiu.
"............" Gengar, Ghost.
.........
In a house in a certain residential area, a person was sitting on the sofa, with a serious look on his face, headphones on his ears, and his eyes slightly squinted.
"No, take that thing back sometime. If the police find out, it will be over."
