Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1164 1164 [Jiangxia who reversed black and white]

Maori Detective Agency.

Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye were hung up inexplicably.They looked at the receiver, and after a while, Mao Lilan suddenly realized, and looked at the decorations on the table:
"This statue of Guan Yu, could it be, the mark left by the arsonist..."

Yuan Shan and Ye felt goose bumps all over their bodies when they heard her soft voice, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.

She said stiffly: "I, I always feel that there seems to be some rustling noises at the door. Could it be that devil came to the door..."

If a real criminal were put directly in front of them, they might not be afraid.

But this mysterious method of "putting a terrible thing to the target's home first, and then floating there like a god of death", coupled with the terrifying aura of having just killed a person, made their hearts beat violently. stand up.

The two stood up abruptly, and made a judgment in unison: "Leave here first!"

They ran to the door, hurriedly put on their shoes, opened the door, and suddenly saw a terrifying figure outside the door.

——a watermelon head parted in the middle, old-fashioned round-rimmed glasses, a slightly chubby body... This is the man who gave them the "red horse" keychain on the bus, and he ran to them at some point. doorstep!
"what--!!"

The two female high school students let out a terrified and helpless scream, and at the same time they instinctively flew out with a sharp wind on the tip of their shoes, heading straight for the face of the "arsonist".

At the moment when it was about to hit, the owner of the antique shop suddenly fell to the side, as if being pulled away by someone.

The attacks of the two girls were in vain, and they quickly withdrew their feet.

They looked aside vigilantly, and then suddenly froze - the owner of the antique shop didn't come by himself, there was another person standing beside him.

"...Jiang Xia?"

Mao Lilan and Yuanshan Heye were already prepared for a fierce battle.

I didn't expect to take a closer look at this time, and it turned out to be my own people.

They subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief first, and then a series of question marks popped up in their minds:

"Have you finished investigating the case? What about Conan and Heiji?... Do you know the person next to you?"

"The investigation is not over yet, the two of them are visiting the suspect." Jiang Xia turned his head and glanced at Xuantian Longde who was still in shock:

"When I came back, I happened to meet Boss Xuantian nearby. He said that he was looking for two high school girls. It was very important-the people he described sounded like you, so I followed to see what happened. Something happened."

With that said, he turned his head to look at Xuantian Longde: "What's the matter with you?"

"That, it's like this." Xuantian Longde came back to his senses, and when he saw Mao Lilan and Yuanshan Heye, he burst into tears, "Please return the keychain I gave you this afternoon! Otherwise, there will be a fire here Yes, Uncle, I, I will definitely not be able to resist burning this place..."

"..." Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanheye were frightened again, but this time it was for other reasons—they never expected such a development after the arsonist came to their door.He could only hastily said, "Wait a moment."

Then he quickly ran back to the table and took Guan Yu's keychain.

Xuantian Longde took it with fear, and put it away carefully.

Almost at the same time, Mao Lilan subconsciously took out her mobile phone and pressed 110—when encountering a prisoner or case, she should call the police first, and her fingers moved instinctively.

However, before she pressed the dial key, a hand suddenly stretched out beside her, interrupting her movements.

Jiang Xia stopped and said, "Wait a minute, I don't think he looks like a murderer."

Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanheye: "...Huh?"

No, not like it?

They looked carefully at Xuan Tianlong's face again.Although one shouldn't judge people by their appearance, according to their experience from childhood to adulthood, Xuantian Longde's appearance, coupled with his excited panting expression at this time, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the word "wicked person" is written on his face.

"..." However, if you think about it carefully, the detective's judgment should be more accurate than theirs, not to mention that the detective is Jiang Xia who has investigated serial arson cases to some extent.

Mao Lilan deleted the number entered just now, and put down the phone.

Yuan Shan and Ye couldn't help becoming curious, and asked Jiang Xia: "It's not him? But the red rabbit keychain he distributed, doesn't it just correspond to the 'red horse' signs left at the arson scene?"

Xuantian Longde was stunned for a moment, recovered after a while, shook his head with tears and confessed: "It's really me! I have always had sleepwalking symptoms when I was a child, and it happened again recently, it must have been at that time..."

Seeing him waving his tear-stained hands excitedly, Jiang Xia couldn't help but step back a bit: "...If it's not you, then it's not you."

Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanhe also persuaded: "Yes, yes, why do you insist on taking the blame for yourself? ——Since it was sleepwalking, you probably don't remember what happened during that time, so how can you say that you are committing a crime?"

"??" Xuantian Longde failed to understand the brain circuits of these young people.He repeated it several times, but no one listened to what he said, and he was a little annoyed for a while:

"You, you... Did you commit the crime or me! Who else could be the murderer besides me? ——The place where the first arson case happened was right next door to my house. The owner of the house where the accident happened was a friend of my father and also from my shop. regulars.

"When he visited, I gave him Guan Yu's key chain. Not long after, his house suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night, and the police found the iconic 'red horse' in his house, which was the one I gave him. gifts.

"I didn't think much about it at first. I just thought that the neighbor was very unlucky. I thought the horse's base was of high quality and very fire-resistant. But after reading the report the next day, I found out that the owner had no idea where the 'red horse' came from. Come! The police speculated that it was a token left by the arsonist, and it was used to refer to the arsonist's jargon 'red horse', provoking the police... Do you know what this means!"

What he said sounded a little weird and scary.

But Mao Lilan, Yuan Shanheye, had completely believed Jiang Xia's words at this time, and felt that the arsonist was someone else, so they thought about it rationally: "...It means that your neighbor is old and has a bad memory? ——Since he is your father's age, he should be quite old."

"It's not for this reason!" Xuantian Longde shook his head in grief and indignation.Before Jiang Xia came out, he never thought that surrendering himself would be so difficult:
"I must have been hallucinating - I secretly put the red horse in his house and didn't remember it, and then I had a sleepwalking attack, and I couldn't help following the keychain, ran to his house and set it on fire.

"The case of the [-]-chome of Kabado-cho was the same not long ago-I was so scolded by Mrs. Zhujiao, and I was actually very angry...I must have pretended to endure it, but in fact I turned back uncontrollably, and after putting down the keychain, Burned down her house."
