"ah?!"
Hattori Heiji was stunned, "You...how do you know..."
"Brother Gengyi, you shouldn't have gone to see it secretly, right?" Conan looked over suspiciously.
"...Just think I heard it." Ye Gengyi didn't bother to explain, so as not to explain the reason, the three detectives continued to hang around.
Hey, hey, how did you do it? This guy started again...
Conan's eyes fell outside the window, and he was about to look for evidence that someone had climbed over the wall, but he saw a familiar figure, "Hey, that uncle seems to be the salesman I met..."
"Does he live around here too?"
After being interrupted one after another, Mouri Kogoro finally did not make the call.
As he looked out the window, the slightly fat salesman's back quickly disappeared from sight.
"Mr. Mori."
Ye Gengyi patted his shoulder.
At this time, in front of the door of Zhukaku's house, a middle-aged man with a briefcase, long-rimmed glasses and little hair was looking towards them.
"I said...this person should be Mr. Zhukaku, right?" Conan's tone contained a hint of sympathy.
"agree..."
"Um."
It was rare that the three detectives had the same opinion, and Ye Gengyi did not continue the game of guessing his profession.
After about a few minutes.
The Feng Shui master came to the street talking and laughing with Mr. Zhujiao.
Ye Geng glanced at the time, it was already 6:57 pm.
It's really... a fulfilling day.
It feels like I have experienced the salty fish daily life of vodka.
"Well, should we follow up and take a look?"
A stalker-addicted black man suggested this without considering whether this behavior would have deflected the theme of this visit.
"Heiji, you are really suitable to be a policeman." Ye Gengyi sighed.
"Hehe, is that right?" Hattori Heiji felt like he was being praised.
"Well, otherwise sooner or later, you will be arrested by the police for illegal stalking..."
"puff..."
Conan couldn't help laughing, which immediately attracted a glare from a certain black man.
You're not much better than me!
But I wasn’t named~
At this time, Mouri Kogoro's cell phone rang.
The two detectives immediately broke eye contact.
"Dad, how is the matter handled?" Mao Lilan's voice came from the receiver.
"...Well," Mouri Kogoro hesitated, "Actually, the employer has terminated the commission..."
There was silence for a moment, and then he suddenly raised a few decibels and shouted: "Then why don't you go home? Don't you know what time it is now!"
Mouri Kogoro's ears were almost deafened by the shock, and he quickly moved the receiver further away.
After finally calming down his daughter's mood, he hung up the phone, coughed twice, and said: "...It seems that there won't be any more problems here. Since it is that woman's housework, our detectives If you continue to stay here, it will have a bad impact, so... go back."
I always feel like something big will happen after I leave...
However, who wants you not to pay our commission fee?
Ye Gengyi glanced at the Zhujiao family villa again and silently started the car.
There is no need to look at a map on the way back.
Go directly from 4-chome to the main road. This time happens to be when the traffic volume is the highest.
Suddenly, a fire truck with its siren blaring loudly passed by in the opposite lane.
The destination seemed to be the direction they came from.
No...it can't be right? ! Is...that pyromaniac showing up?
"Brother Gengyi, turn around quickly!" Conan jumped up from the back seat regardless of safety, and commanded solemnly from behind the driver's seat.
Ye Geng glanced at the rearview mirror and pushed the little detective back with a sudden thought, "Sit tight."
Are you just looking at it?
Conan covered his forehead and looked at a certain black man with a resentful expression.
"Ahem... Brother Saraichi, can you drive faster?" Hattori Heiji was ready to stand up for his good friend.
"The main road is the fastest route to the central hospital in the region. If it causes traffic congestion, it will affect subsequent rescues, and... the person who drives fast will be punished."
After Ye Gengyi finished explaining, he didn't bother to pay attention to them anymore, and the speed of the car remained steady.
In such a hurry, do you really think you are omnipotent?
Without experience in putting out fires, even if Kyogoku did go, he would only be able to watch from the side.
4-chome, Cupido Town.
Due to the fire, cars were not allowed to drive into this area.
Ye Gengyi parked the car in a place that would not affect traffic.
By the time a few people arrived, the fire soaring into the sky had already burned the entire Zhujiao family.
Firefighters are still actively carrying out fire-fighting operations.
Beside the stretcher covered with a piece of white cloth, Mr. Zhukaku was holding a burnt hand with tears in his eyes, shouting the name Ryoko.
"It seems that this lady didn't have time to escape..." Mouri Kogoro looked over there.
"Damn it, if we had continued to stay here and monitor, maybe this tragedy wouldn't have happened..." Hattori Heiji blamed himself.
Maybe you can think about it from another angle...
Ye Gengyi said: "That Mr. Zhujiao came faster than us."
"Yes, if we can walk out, are there any restaurants that close here?" Conan muttered and began to recall the map of Cupido Town.
"Mom, look, it's really here..." Onlookers were talking a lot. A little boy who looked to be about the same age as Conan, wearing a sweatshirt and sports shorts, was talking to the adults on the side. "The red horse that caused the fire really appeared..."
Several people were attracted by these words.
"Go ahead, Conan."
Ye Gengyi patted a certain detective on the big head, and at the same time grabbed a certain black man who wanted to follow him, "Let the child go."
"Uh..." Hattori Heiji was stunned, but still stopped.
Conan stepped forward and asked, "Um...how did you know there was a red horse?"
"Because I saw it with my own eyes." The little boy turned his head and saw that he was a person of the same age. He said without doubt: "I was watching TV in the living room. When the theme song of Masked Superman just started to be sung, I saw a shadow on the curtain. , it’s the shadow of a super-large horse.”
"Masked Superman...7:30?" Conan was a little unsure.
"Yes, but then my mother said that I can't watch TV in the dark, so after I turned on the light, the shadow disappeared." The little boy said with some regret: "I also want to experience the atmosphere of watching a movie in a cinema. ..."
"Where is your home?" Conan turned to look at the houses on both sides of the Zhukaku family, "On the left or on the right?"
"On the right side of the burning house." The little boy pointed forward.
"okay, I get it!"
Conan responded and rushed forward.
However, before he could even take two steps out, he suddenly felt a tightness at the back of his neck, and his whole body was lifted up by a force.
Look at those short legs that are still kicking in the air due to inertia.
With a twist of his wrist, Ye Geng turned the kid in one direction, facing him, and said, "Don't bother me. I have other ways to find the pyromaniac."
