Conan's Maori Sister

"Red, red horse?" Toyama and Ye were taken aback by Mori Kogoro's words.

Hattori Heiji understood, and said, "So that's it, the 'red horse' in police jargon means arsonist."

So, Yuan Shan and Ye Wenyan calmed down a bit, and asked curiously: "Heiji, why is the arsonist called 'Red Horse'?"

"Because the color and shape of the flame looks like a red horse," Hattori Heiji explained: "Similarly, some people say it's a red dog or a red cat."

Yuan Shan and Ye blinked and understood.

Hattori Heiji frowned slightly again and said, "However, the red horse doll may have been deliberately placed on the fire by the arsonist. He wanted to use this to tell the police, 'I am an arsonist. If you have the ability, come and arrest me!'" Something like that?"

Mori Kogoro drank a glass of black glutinous rice wine, and said slowly: "It's also possible, but fortunately, no one died in the three arson cases that occurred, and those victims also said that they had never bought them before or were given them by someone. A red horse doll, so the red horse doll must have been left by the arsonist, but the jargon of red horse and red dog was rarely used when I was a policeman."

"Maybe the criminal just wanted to target the older policeman," Hattori Heiji frowned slightly when he heard the words, and asked again: "And then? Are the three arson cases related? Could it be that the victims all had grudges against the prisoner?" As Detective, Hattori Heiji is the most curious about this.

Mori Kogoro shook his head and said, "I heard that the three cases are completely unrelated, the only thing in common is that the victims all live in Tokyo."

"They all live in Tokyo?"

"Yes," Mori Kogoro touched his chin and thought, "However, they are not in the same area. I remember that the first one was in Lizen-cho [-]-chome, the second in Toya-cho [-]-chome, and the third in Toya-cho [-]-chome. It started at Okuho-cho [-]-chome..."

Having said that, Hattori Heiji interjected, "Then, next is the fourth chome somewhere?"

"Yes," Mori Kogoro nodded, continued to drink, and said, "If the criminals set fires indiscriminately just for fun, there is a possibility, so the police also stepped up patrols in all four cities in Tokyo."

Lan was also listening. He blinked and said, "But there are many [-]-chome in Tokyo! Now, sister, what do you think?" Is it okay to just strengthen patrols?

Wei continued to feed Lan and Ai, and said flatly after hearing the words: "Defense is always the worst thing to do."

Hattori Heiji smiled and said, "I do know that there is a place where [-]-chome may be set on fire!"

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji's words stunned everyone.

Hattori Heiji grinned, and explained: "Mr. Kusukawa entrusted me to help. He said that there is a family in Kabado-cho [-]-chome where suspicious people often come and go at night. That family entrusted him to investigate. However, everyone I also know what's going on with Mr. Nanchuan, so he wants me to help him solve it now, anyway, he just rests now, and there is no other place to go, so I will take this kid with my uncle to visit that family tomorrow, right?" Hattori Heiji knew very well that Yui basically wouldn't join in the fun, so he didn't even ask Yui to help, but just patted Conan's head with a smile.

Conan's mouth twitched.

Unexpectedly, Lan blinked and said, "My father is fine, but Conan can't go!"

"Huh? Why?" Hattori Heiji didn't understand.

"This..." Lan laughed.

"What?! Going to camp?!" Hattori Heiji was dumbfounded, and yelled at Conan who was curling his lips: "You have a chance to grasp the clues of the serial arsonist, you kid, you want to go to camp hand in hand with everyone leisurely? !"

Conan ate without talking, and the others didn't bother to talk to him.

On the contrary, Yuan Shan and Ye said casually: "What does it matter, he is a child~"

Mori Kogoro didn't care what the high school student detective from Osaka was struggling with, he just turned his head and looked out the window, and said, "But, will the weather clear up? It was still raining just now~"

"It's no problem, because there is this!" Lan smiled and took out the magic weapon - a sweeping lady! "Every time Shinichi has an important football game, this Sao Qing girl can pray for good weather~"

Lan said it naturally, but Yuan Shan and Ye laughed and said, "Wow——Lan Jiang, I'm so envious~~~"

Being teased by Yuan Shan and Ye, Lan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "It will be very hard to refuel on a rainy day~" Out of the corner of her eye, she quickly passed the twin sister next to her.

Next to him, Mori Kogoro was drinking at the door and continued to curl his lips.

Wei lowered her head and concentrated on picking the fishbone. After finishing, she put them into the bowls of Lan and Ai, and said calmly, "Hurry up and eat, it's going to be cold."

Lan smiled and obediently bowed her head to eat, and Sao Qingniang in her hand also quietly disappeared.

Lan "concentrated" on eating, completely unaware that a black-skinned guy next to him was looking at that with very weird eyes - Sao Qingniang.

After eating, Wei sent Ai back to Ali's house because she was afraid that it would continue to rain.

After all, it was crowded with Hattori Heiji and Toyama and Kazuha where Yui stayed, and Ai didn't like to join in the fun, so he went back directly.

The night was getting darker, and everyone fell into a deep sleep, only Sao Qingniang at the window was making a "cracking" sound in the night wind, and——

Wei heard a small voice that should not have appeared suddenly in his sleep, and when he woke up instantly, he couldn't help but yawned.

This black-skinned bastard really did this~~~ Forget it, I'm so sleepy, it has nothing to do with me, don't care~~~

After reading a few words brokenly in his heart, Wei conveniently pulled the corner of the quilt for Lan in his arms, tucked it up, closed his eyes again, and continued to sleep.

So, the next day——

"It's so strange, it should be sunny today~~" Lan just woke up, still in her pajamas, looking at Sao Qingniang hanging by the window, and then at the splintering rain curtain outside, she was puzzled.

Beside, Yuan Shan and Ye also looked at Sao Qingniang, then looked at the rain outside, and said, "Could it be that your desire to make a wish is not strong enough?" After speaking, Yuan Shan and Ye joked again: "After all, this is different from Kudo-kun's!"

"Nonsense, I wouldn't do that!" Lan Xiao blushed slightly.

Conan also got up, and looked at the rain outside in a strange way. Generally speaking, Lan's sweeping lady is very effective. Why didn't it work today?

Thinking of this, Conan looked at Sao Qingniang again, and suddenly found something wrong.

Uh... that's weird, when she hung it up yesterday, Sao Qingniang's face was clearly facing outside...

"Yawn~~~ Oh, what does it matter?" Hattori Heiji also got up, yawned loudly, and said with a smile: "The weather depends on the face of God!"

Conan looked at Hattori Heiji's happiness, and couldn't help but twitched his lips. Could this guy hide Sao Qingniang before dawn?

Wei just came out of the kitchen with a freshly baked delicious shortbread, looked at Lan's incomprehensible look, and said casually: "It's raining, it's raining, hurry up and wash up, get ready to eat, wait a minute Are you ready to go shopping?"

"But, sister, it shouldn't be ineffective." Lan still looked at Sao Qingniang in confusion, pursing her mouth, she really didn't understand.

Wei put down the plate on the dining table, walked towards the kitchen again, and said casually, "Maybe there are mice in the house?"

"Rat?" Others didn't understand, but someone was stiff.

This guy suddenly remembered that Wei's hearing is not ordinary.

"Maybe, I heard some furtive noise in the middle of the night last night. I'll grab it later and kill it." Wei entered the kitchen with a careless expression.

"Oh, that's it." Lan, Yuan Shan and Ye didn't think much, and obediently went back to wash up.

Conan glanced at a stiff guy next to him, curled his lips, and knew it was so!

Because of the rain, Conan naturally would not go out to camp, but acted with everyone.

Ai is not interested in going shopping on rainy days, so she stays in Ali's house to pass the time lazily.

but--

"Wow~~~ The sky is so clear!" Looking at the blue sky, Yuan Shanhe Ye couldn't help admiring.

"Lan Jiang, your Sao Qingniang is finally working!"

Lan also looked up at the sky and smiled.

Don't look at it when it was raining, but when everyone came to the street, it didn't take long for the sky to clear up.

It was as if the continuous drizzle was an illusion.

Also looking at the blue sky, Hattori Heiji smiled dryly, "Ah, that's such a pity..."

Wei remained silent.

Conan complained silently beside him: Hattori, you will definitely suffer retribution...

Anyway, now that the rain has stopped, it's time for everyone to separate.

"Then, we'll go home after shopping!" Lan smiled and waved her hands.

"Heiji, Uncle, work hard!" Toyama and Ye also said goodbye.

"Oh." Hattori Heiji responded casually, and left without looking back.

Leaving Toyama and Ye pursing their lips, looking at Heiji Hattori who was bending over and talking to Conan with a smile, he couldn't help but mutter to Ran: "The relationship between those two people is really good."

Lan glanced at Yuan Shan and Ye, and said with a smile, "Huh? He Ye Jiang, are you jealous of Conan?"

"That's right!" Yuan Shan and Ye Li immediately blushed, and got into a fight with Lan.

Rang Wei couldn't help but smile beside him.

Over there, Mori Kogoro flipped through the map in his hand and asked, "And then? Where and when will we meet?"

"Ah, four o'clock," Hattori Heiji said casually, turned his head and glanced at Toyama Kazuha who had gone away, and said, "At a house called Morokaku in [-]-chome, Kabado-cho..."

From the corner of Conan's eyes, he saw Hattori Heiji, curled his lips, and said casually: "Don't worry, uncle's detective agency is not in [-]-chome..."

Embarrassed by Conan's words, Hattori Heiji couldn't help laughing dryly, "Is that so..."

Listening to the conversation between Hattori Heiji and Conan from afar, Wei shook his head lightly, and silently followed Ran, Toyama and Ye.

The weather seems to be a little unstable recently, just to see if I can meet the clothes of the little girl I like.
