Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1152 [Rest in peace, friend]

Toyama, Haha, and Hattori Heiji briefly reported the situation to their fathers in Osaka, and then were urged by the police in Tokyo to go to the police station to take notes.

After all the mess and bustle, it was already dark.

……

"Oh, so busy."

In a cafe in Mihua Town.Several high school students sat around the table, discussing the situation of the past two days.

Yuan Shan and Ye leaned on the bench, stretched out tiredly, and couldn't help showing a little doubtful expression on their faces: "Am I really here to travel? I don't seem so tired when I go to school."

"Indeed, I encountered such and such things when I first came here." Mao Lilan looked sympathetically at her friend from Osaka who came from afar. Although she herself encountered more cases yesterday than those encountered by Yuan Shan and Ye, but After thinking about it, Mao Lilan always felt that compared to the relaxed auditorium like his own, the encounter with Ye and the others was more exhausting.

"However, fortunately, the matter is over." Mao Lilan sighed with a little fear, "I heard from Officer Sato that they found several barrels of fuel from the house of lawyer Ito - those people are probably planning to ask After answering the riddle, pretend that the house is on fire, and burn everyone who knows too much inside."

"Hmph, it's not surprising that that vicious guy did anything. She said she was going to cut off my fingers before." Yuan Shan and Ye looked at Jiang Xia next to him, and felt that he was still playing lightly, so they suggested, "Next If you encounter this kind of thing again, remember to untie me first and let me do it!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but rolled up her sleeves and clenched her fists.

The waiter who passed by in the store was slightly taken aback when he heard the word "beating someone", and secretly pricked up his ears, wanting to hear gossip.

Conan saw it sharply, and hastily changed the topic:
"It seems that yesterday was really dangerous, and she was almost fooled by it. There have indeed been serial arsonists recently. If Lawyer Ito's house caught fire, maybe it would also be included in this case."

As he was talking, he felt that he was not very rigorous, so he couldn't help but correct him: "...But, in fact, if things really turned out like that, Jiang Xia and I will definitely find out the truth and let you rest in peace."

Yuan Shanhe Ye: "..." This kid's words are unlucky.

Hattori Heiji was sitting next to him, silently lowering his presence.

But at this time, when he suddenly heard the key word "criminal", he interrupted instinctively and asked, "Serial pyromaniac? Why is it confirmed that it is a serial? The method is the same, or are people with similar characteristics killed?"

"The method has not been announced to the public. However, since there is no mention of similarity, the consistency of the case should not be obvious." Jiang Xia remembered this incident, "It was classified as a serial arson case, mainly because there were several crime scenes. There was a 'red horse' - not a real horse, of course, but a finger-sized ornament."

There is also some so-called "jargon" within the police.

Among them, "red horse" refers to "arsonist"-the red horse ornaments appearing at the scene of arson, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the arsonist is deliberately showing his identity and provoking the police.

Hattori Heiji suddenly became interested in this arrogant guy.

But soon, he realized something, and turned his head to look at Jiang Xia and Conan: "Wait, since you...cough, since you know about this case, but the case has not been solved yet, is there no casualty so far? "

Jiang Xia: "..." It sounds like he only cares about murders... Well, he is really only interested in murders or upcoming murders.Not only him, but this group of high school student detectives are also probably the same.

But a righteous detective should not discriminate against cases.

"There were indeed no casualties. But I didn't go to solve the case not because of this, but because I didn't have enough clues—I seldom deal with people in the fire crime search department, and I can't ask anything if I want to ask."

Jiang Xia picked up the juice seriously and took a sip: "There are many related reports in the newspapers, but most of them are rumors. At present, there are only three reliable clues except for the 'Red Horse'. Location - the first one is at 'Nishencho [-]-chome', the second one is in 'Toriya-cho [-]-chome', the third one is in 'Okuho-cho [-]-chome'..."

"Looking at it this way, which place will be the '[-]-chome' next time?" Toyama and Ye thought of something, and shuddered, "Wait, that lawyer Ito was in 'Xianqiao-cho [-]-chome' yesterday!"

"This kind of thing happened just now, the security of Xianqiao town is strict, and the arsonist probably won't start there." Hattori Heiji suddenly smiled when he thought of something, "I still know a [-]-chome—to see Mr. Kusukawa today. When he said that he had an entrustment, it was in..."

"..."

Halfway through the speech, Hattori Heiji belatedly cut off the conversation and closed his mouth.

——My habit of getting excited whenever I encounter a mystery case should be changed. I even forgot that Jiang Xia was beside me.

Hattori Heiji: "..." However, if Jiang Xia is there, the client might be safer?

...But for some reason, I always feel that things may develop in another bad direction instead.

Hattori Heiji was extremely tangled.

But soon, he found that he didn't have to worry about it.

——Because of what he said, Yuan Shan and Ye also remembered at this time.

……

Yuan Shan and Ye have no interest in solving puzzles, and of course they are not afraid of spoilers from Jiang Xia.

Moreover, it is completely opposite to Hattori Heiji, she feels that the faster the commission is resolved, the more time she can play.

So he happily invited foreign aid, revealing all the commissions that Hattori Heiji tried to hide: "When we went to see Mr. Kusukawa in the morning, he was still lying on the hospital bed and couldn't get up, so we asked us to do him a favor.

"He said that he had received a commission a few days ago. The client found that there were always suspicious people walking around the house in the middle of the night, so he asked Mr. Kusukawa to investigate. But Mr. Kusukawa was arrested by the lawyer Ito before he could go there. So he had to ask Hattori to go and see for him—the client happened to be at 4-chome, Kabado-cho!"

"Well, let's go together tomorrow." Jiang Xia naturally put forward an application for joining the team, "The more people there are, the faster the solution will be, so you will have more time to go shopping in Tokyo."

"Okay." Yuan Shan and Ye thought of the reliable Jiang Xia, and agreed on behalf of Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji:"……"

He was silent for a moment, then grabbed Conan and said, "You also go together."

... He cannot be the only one who continues to be polluted by Jiang Xia's spoilers!
Conan: "..."

Mao Lilan shook her head: "Conan will go on an outing with some children tomorrow."

"Outing?!" Hattori Heiji slapped the table with a slap, staring at Conan, with condemnation in his voice, "What time is it, and you plan to go on an outing at the critical moment when you can grab that arsonist's tail?!"
