Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 449 Flaming Red Horse, the Arsonist Who Surrendered Himself

"What? You said you could set fire?!"

Maori Detective Agency, Gao Cheng and Xiaolan face to face to interrogate the wimpy uncle Xuan Tianlongde.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" The wimpy uncle lowered his head with tears in his eyes, "I'm really sorry! I just want to return that key chain, otherwise... there will be a fire, uncle, I will set fire to that key chain... ..."

"Well……"

Seeing the crying fat man, Xiaolan and Heye looked at each other in disbelief, and finally looked at Gao Cheng together.

"Mr. Xuantian," Gao Cheng picked up the key chain with the pendant of Guan Yu and Chituma, and asked after a moment of silence, "You mean to say that the previous fires and the key chains left at the scene are all Did you do it? Why would you do such a thing?"

"I don't know, I really don't know anything!" Xuantian cried bitterly and hugged his head, "There is another self in my body, he must have set fire to me when I was unconscious, this is Wuchome, if the key If the chain is here, he will definitely mess around again, please..."

Gao Cheng was speechless.

"The key chain can't be returned to you yet, but we have informed the police and they will take you away...Mr. Xuantian, maybe you should go to the hospital..."

"I've been there before. I had sleepwalking when I was young, and it seems to have happened again recently," Xuantian wiped away tears, "I've gone to a psychiatrist several times, but it didn't help at all..."

Gao Cheng frowned and looked at the quiet Xuantian.

The arsonist was caught so quickly, and the other party admitted his crime... Although the theory of sleepwalking feels a little unreliable, there is no other explanation for the time being, so it can only be handed over to the police for investigation.

Soon the police came to the Maori Detective Agency and took Xuantian away, together with Guan Yu's key chain as evidence.

"Senior Kido," Xiaolan and Xiaolan silently watched the police car go away, feeling a little uncomfortable, "Is that uncle really an arsonist? On the bus coming back today, we saw us holding a bunch of things and gave up our seats. Now I ran so hard to get the key chain back..."

"Who knows if he wants to find out the location of the arson target first?" Gao Cheng retracted his gaze and said, "Okay, since the arsonist has been caught, Xiao Ai and I should go back..."

In fact, he also had a lot of doubts in his heart.

First of all, why did Xuantian rush to find Xiaolan and Heye at night, and even found him as a famous detective, his anxious look did not seem to be fake.

And it happened to come after the fire broke out at Kubado 4-chome...

I remember the bus route from Shibuya back to Mihua, it seems to be from Shibuya to Kubado to Mihua and then to Rizencho...

Lishan Town?

Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai walked downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency together, and suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"What?" Xiao Ai raised her head, "Should I still intervene?"

"I'm sorry, Xiao Ai, you stay here first," Gao Cheng said calmly, "I think there is something hidden about this incident, and that uncle can't just be an arsonist."

Xiao Ai sighed softly, her expression soft and helpless: "There are so many things to be a detective, so I'll just stay here for one night."

...

In the Metropolitan Police Department, after Gao Cheng made a phone call, he followed his old acquaintance, Officer Sato, who happened to be passing by, into the building.

"Are you going to the arsonist search team?" Sato asked curiously as he led the way, "I've heard about the arsonist too, doesn't it mean that the criminal has been caught?"

"Yes, I called the police, and the other party also surrendered, but...I always feel that there are still some problems."

Gao Cheng looked around from the corner of his eye, and occasionally felt fierce eyes all staring at this side, and there was an uncle policeman gnashing his teeth along the way.

He took back what he said before, there are such terrible uncles in the Metropolitan Police Department, but what's the matter with these people, isn't it because they are getting closer to Officer Sato?

"That detective kid is here, I heard he had a blind date with Police Officer Sato?"

"Damn it, forget about Takagi, and now there are outsiders intervening..."

"???"

Gao Cheng followed Sato inexplicably, and didn't feel better until he found the arsonist search team.

The uncle and the others followed a crew-cut police officer to discuss the case in the room, and there were many evidences on the table.

"Xuantian still can't say anything," Police Officer Gongchang pointed to several burnt red horses, "However, these red horses left at the scene of the arson are indeed the red rabbit horse on the key chain, according to your It is said that Xuantian not only visited the victim, but also wandered around before the fire, so..."

Police officer Gongchang was deep in thought, and suddenly saw Hattori and Conan touching the evidence indiscriminately, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, I finally got these evidence from the laboratory. Be careful!"

Hattori picked up the toy horse from the first case: "This horse still retains the base of the red rabbit horse, with the word 'rabbit' on it...how come only this horse is burnt?"

Gao Cheng happened to enter the room, and he took the initiative to ask: "Could the base of the red rabbit horse be ripped off by the arsonist?"

"Kirodo?"

Conan and the others were shocked when they heard the words, but the police officer Gongchang was very calm: "Detective Kido had contact with Xuantian, so I also brought him here."

Hattori raised his face: "What does it mean to tear off the base?"

"If they all have bases, they might be found to be Chituma. It's easy to suspect Mr. Xuantian who distributes Guan Yu's key chains as promotional gifts everywhere..."

Gao Cheng sat down beside him.

"I have already asked Genda-san's antique shop in Kabadocho, there is a very strange place, Mr. Genda has been distributing product descriptions and gift key chains in the store near the antique shop since the morning, but because the previous evaluation was not good, The key chain sent today has actually been replaced with a lucky cat..."

"What's so strange about this?" Uncle Mao Li was stunned, "Maybe he took it by mistake..."

"That's the problem. The pendant is packed in a box, so it's not surprising to be confused, so when I came here just now, I studied the route of Mr. Xuantian's activities today."

Gao Cheng spread out a bus map on the desktop, pointing out the red line marks.

'Mr. Gentian first distributed the key chains around Zhujiao's house, right? '

"This..." Uncle Mao Li nodded, "We did see him at Zhujiao's house distributing key chains and product catalogs to Mrs. Zhujiao, and he was kicked out by Mrs. Zhujiao..."

"Then around 5 o'clock in the evening, Mr. Xuantian went back to the antique shop to have a look, and then when Xiaolan and the others met Mr. Xuantian on the bus," Gao Cheng continued, "It was after 5 o'clock, and Mr. Xuantian should I’m going back to my house in Rizen Town by car…”

Uncle Mao Li nodded in a daze: "So, the bus did pass through Cupo, Mihua, and Lishan Town... But then why did he go to Zhujiao's house and set fire to it?"

"Wait," Hattori looked at the road map drawn by Gao Cheng, thought for a while, and his expression suddenly changed, "The reason why Mr. Xuantian went to Zhujiao's house again is probably not to set fire, but to find that he sent the wrong message. The key chain wanted to be recycled... so I hurried to Gochome to find Kazuha and the others after the fire broke out..."

Officer Gongchang frowned, lit a cigarette, and said, "It's very similar to the Xuantian I know... In fact, when the fire first broke out, we also suspected Xuantian at that time, but I don't think that guy would set fire people."

"Was it the first case of arson in Toshizen Town?"

"Well, he was in the crowd watching the excitement, talking to himself strangely while looking at the flames, talking about Dad..."

Under everyone's gaze, the bow leader let out a long puff of smoke and fell into memory.

"The guy's father was a firefighter. When he was in elementary school, he was killed by the fire trying to save people trapped in the sea of ​​fire. So we thought, maybe Xuantian set the fire because he missed his father. He might I fantasize that if there is a fire, my father will rush over..."

"That's obvious," Uncle Mao Li said in a deep voice while holding the red horse. "If his somnambulism is serious, then what he said is another story about setting himself on fire, and it may be true... But how did the police Will things still develop?"

"That's because there is really no evidence, and...he is not the kind of person who would set fire to other people's houses, he is not that kind of person," Gong Zhang looked tired, shook his head and got up and left the room, "No If possible, I'll ask him again."

"Mr. Gongchang..."

Hattori looked away from the road map, and looked at Yumachi leaving in doubt: "What's wrong with him?"

"I also think that Mr. Xuantian is not an arsonist." Gao Cheng gently picked up the first charred red horse, "We can't let the matter end like this." Fu Pin Chinese
