A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 279 Then you want me to recover sooner?

As soon as Noah heard the uncle talk about serial arsonists, he knew that he would be unable to leave for a while.

"Serial arsonists? Could it be that there have been many arson incidents in Tokyo recently?"

Hattori stood up excitedly and asked loudly. Although Conan didn't speak, the expression on his face had already betrayed him.

"I knew it……"

Noah was a little speechless in his heart, making a proposal in front of these two people, wouldn't that be a rabbit calling the door.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, go back quickly and don't hinder our work."

"How could it have nothing to do with us, we are one of the suspects."

……

Officer Gongchang looked at Hattori with weird eyes. He had heard some comments about this old friend's child, and it was just like the rumors, a bit awkward.

"Let Maori talk to you, I still have work to do, I don't have time to play reasoning games with you."

Seeing the unwavering gaze in Hattori's eyes, Officer Yummaga sighed in his heart that Hattori's personality was exactly the same as his father's when he was young.

After thinking for a long time, Officer Gong Zhang let go, and decided to let Maori relay the story on his behalf. As the direct person in charge of these arson incidents, he has too many things to do.

The uncle would naturally not refuse his old officer's orders, cleared his throat, and began to tell the case of the serial arsonist.

The matter started about a month ago. When the case first started, the Metropolitan Police Department did not pay much attention to it, because the arsonist burned waste items such as garbage or fallen leaves.

The only thing that stands out is a wooden sculpture of a red horse found around the burning site.

Because this wooden carving appeared in several arson incidents in the future, and this is one of the basis for the Metropolitan Police Department to judge that the arson incidents were done by the same person.

There is also the continuity of the location of the arson. The first time was in Lishan Township [-]-chome, the second time was in Toshi Town [-]-chome, the third time was in Okusui Town [-]-chome, and the fourth time happened today. The location of the arson was at [-]-chome, Kubado Town.

"In other words, the next time the opponent's arson will be at [-]-chome in a certain town."

"According to the information we have so far, there is indeed such a possibility. Police officer Gongchang has ordered the police officers to disperse and focus on patrolling in [-]-chome of various towns."

"Among the four cases, is this the only time anyone was victimized?"

"Yes."

The above is all the information that the uncle knows, and if the arson incident did not involve Noah and others, he might not know it either.

After all, there were no casualties in the previous arson incidents, so the police did not disclose the matter of the red horse wooden carving, so the outside media only regarded these incidents as accidents and did not publicize them.

"No wonder Zhujiao Liangzi said that there was a suspicious figure near her house. It seems that the arsonist had targeted Zhujiao's house a few days ago."

"Damn it, if we stayed near her house today, maybe we could catch the murderer."

Hattori's tone was slightly annoyed, it was a pity that such a good opportunity slipped away from his hands.

"Okay, you already know what you should know, go back quickly."

Police officer Gong Zhang interrupted the thoughts of several people who still wanted to communicate. The time given by the superiors to solve the case was very tight, and he couldn't stay in the police station and wait for the arsonist to come to his door.

Hattori showed resignation. He guessed that the Metropolitan Police Department must have more information, but this is not Osaka, and no one paid him any attention.

"Let's go, don't think about it, Officer Gongchang has to collect clues, let's not bother him."

Conan pulled Hattori's clothes, and it was rare that he didn't chase after him as usual. After hearing Conan's words, Hattori's expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his head and smiled at Conan.

"gross."

"I'm going to vomit."

Seeing the smiles of the two, Noah and Haibara suddenly felt a chill, the smiles of these two people were so weird.

Seeing the backs of several people leaving, Officer Gong Zhang grinned with a smile on his blunt face.

"Toyama, Hattori, I didn't expect your children to grow up so big, time flies so fast!"

……

"You go back first, Conan and I are walking around the street, we have been in Tokyo for so long, and we haven't had a good time yet."

As soon as he walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department, Hattori immediately opened his mouth to find a reason to escape, and wanted to pull Conan away in a hurry, but before he could drive away, Kazuba stepped in front of him.

"What are you in a hurry for, let's go together."

"It's not good."

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you want to do, it must be going to today's crime scene, right?"

Kazuba's expression was not good, and he told Hattori's careful thoughts with one word. Hattori wanted to refute, but seeing the firm and scrutinizing gaze in Kazuha's eyes, he hesitated.

"It's okay if you do this in Osaka, but you still do it in Tokyo, and you still want to take Conan with him. He is still a child, what to do if he is in danger."

Seeing Hattori's reaction, Kazuya knew that she had guessed right. She really didn't want Hattori to participate, and she was afraid of danger.

"He's not a child, he... ah!"

Hattori couldn't help but wanted to refute in a low voice, but was kicked hard by Conan, this black charcoal head just couldn't control his mouth, not as strict as Noah's.

"You can see that Conan is not happy anymore, which means that he doesn't want to go at all. It's all because you insisted on bringing others with you next time."

……

Hearing this, Hattori felt a little aggrieved, obviously Conan thought of it first, and he was the mastermind.

"He Ye is right, it's too dangerous, Conan, you must stay at home obediently, don't think about running around."

Xiaolan didn't care about it at first, but now that Jing and Ye said so, and thinking about Conan's past behavior, she also felt that the motives of these two people were not pure.

"what?"

"Ah what?"

"No... nothing."

Facing Xiaolan's fierce gaze, Conan closed his mouth wisely, and confessed for a while for the sake of clean ears in the future.

"What should I do now, I can't leave."

"It's not all because you said it too early, and your intention is too obvious."

Noah, who was walking in front of the two, was extremely speechless. Sometimes he really couldn't understand why these two people were so interested in solving the case.

Putting aside their beautiful childhood sweethearts and running to investigate alone, it is possible that the two of them have the same system as themselves.

……

"Xiao Ai, where are you going tonight, go home to rest or go to the doctor's to continue your research."

"Research, I came up with a new idea with the doctor yesterday, which may prolong the recovery time."

"Don't stay up too late at night, sooner or later there will be a day of recovery, don't be in a hurry."

"Then you want me to recover sooner?"

Haibara didn't think about it at all when he said this, and realized something was wrong after he finished speaking, his little face turned red suddenly, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at Noah.

And Noah's brain froze when he heard this sentence, he never thought that Huiyuan would say that.

But Noah has never been a coward emotionally. He knelt down, stretched out his hand and fondled Hui Yuan's hair, then pinched her nose affectionately, and said softly.

"Think, why don't you want to, but try not to stay up late, you can work hard during the day as well."

There was a look of surprise on Huiyuan's face, she didn't expect Noah to answer like this, and at the same time, she felt faintly unstoppable happiness in her heart.

However, to her surprise, Noah actually leaned forward and gently hugged herself in her arms.

It's not the kind of coaxing children's hug in the past, it's more like expressing feelings, or the kind of hug between lovers.
