Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 11 Serial Arson Cases

At some point, a cake shop called SMW6 opened at the corner of the street, which seemed to be a chain store.

Weird name, or so she thought.

But out of curiosity and love for food, I wanted to try it.And I was a little curious why the store was still open at such a late hour.

Just as he was about to open the door and go in, he suddenly heard someone shouting from outside.

"It's on fire, can anyone help me?"

It was an anxious male voice, sounding very young.

Qinghai Chuantang looked for the sound and walked over, only to see that several bags of garbage had already ignited flames.But fortunately, the fire is not very fierce, because it has only ignited not long ago.

She walked into the store, found a jug of ice water, took it and quickly ran outside the door, poured it on the flames, and the fire was stopped immediately.

Qinghai Chuantang looked at the other party, looking a little speechless.

It looks like he is only in his early twenties, more immature like a high school student.The pupils of the eyes are purple, and she has short pink hair with slightly raised ends, which looks a little cute.

"How old are you? You are so flustered by such a small matter."

As soon as the words of thanks reached his lips, they were swallowed back, replaced by his apologetic look and tone.

Seeing his aggrieved look, Qinghai Chuantang inexplicably felt guilty.But soon, this feeling disappeared, and there was another thought in my heart: I really want to ravage him.
Qinghai Chuantang coughed lightly, "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

After she finished speaking, she looked up, then took out a pair of gloves from her bag and put them on.Then, she knelt down and picked up the plastic bottle on the ground, which still contained some colorless liquid.

She held it up to her nose and sniffed it.

"Acetone, or strawberry."

"Eh?"

Aoi Akagawa blinked, looking a little puzzled.

"Although the bottle cap is opened, the probability of burning cigarette butts flying over and landing next to the acetone bottle that has not yet fully evaporated is not high. This is a deliberate arson, not an accident."

Aoi Aoi nodded half-understanding, then looked at her with a curious tone: "However, may I ask who you are?"

Qinghai Chuantang put the things back where they were, and then stood up.

"I just saw that this store is still open, so I wanted to buy a cake and go back. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

"Are you going to buy a cake?"

Aoi Akagawa showed a happy smile, as if she had received some great reward, she could see a feeling of "happiness". "I'm the manager of the SMW cake shop. Why don't you treat me as a treat?"

Qinghai Chuantang hesitated for a moment, "Isn't this very good?"

Then, the conversation changed, and he continued: "A serving of tiramisu, thank you."

Authentic tiramisu is always paired with Marsala wine.

Things didn't end there.

The next day, the police received several more reports, all related to arson, which fell under the jurisdiction of the First Search Division.

Of course, there are always cases where detectives are involved.

"The smell is acetone!"

"If acetone vaporizes, even a small flame will catch fire."

This is a temporary device.To take the time to escape while the acetone is vaporizing and burning.

"The guest who came that day also said so."

Sera Masumi and Conan looked at him together, "Customer?"

Aoi Akakawa nodded, "Yes, I also helped put out the fire that day."

Sera Masumi touched his chin and thought, "Sometimes, arsonists will appear at the scene of arson to put out the fire."

Conan quickly asked: "Brother, do you still remember that customer's attire?"

"Well." Aoi Akagawa scratched her head, her face turned a little red, "Let me think about it, after all, my memory has never been very good."

"Long black hair in a ponytail. Wearing a black base layer and a white hooded jacket."

A voice suddenly appeared behind the two, getting closer and closer.

Qinghai Chuantang met their eyes in time, couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and couldn't help blurting out: "No accident happened, right?"

If it's just Shiliang Zhenchun, she thinks it's nothing.But as long as Conan is at the scene, he will always have preconceived ideas, wondering if another murder has happened.

"Fortunately, there were no casualties. Although it was not a big fire, there have been several similar cases recently, which shows."

Before Shiliang Zhenchun finished speaking, Conan hurriedly answered: "It means that this is a serial arson case! If the culprit is not found quickly, it may cause casualties!"

Maybe there will be more serious consequences.

Because this stuff is addictive.

Aoi Akagawa stared at him, then blinked, with a slightly surprised expression: "Although you look quite small, the tone you spoke just now is more like an adult."

Conan realized something, and scratched his head with a smile, "No, Uncle Maori taught me these things."

"Maori? You mean that famous detective, the sleeping Kogoro? I didn't expect you to be related to Mr. Maori. No wonder you became like this under his influence."

Although it was a compliment, Conan was not happy at all, and the corner of his mouth twitched: I actually solved those cases, okay?
"speak up"

Aoi Akagawa seemed to think of something, "In addition to the No. 6 store, the No. 5 store also encountered the same problem. I was still hesitating before whether to ask Mr. Mori to solve this matter. But after thinking about it, Mr. Mori is so famous. People, even if I think about it, I can’t get out of my life to solve a small case like mine.”

The cakes in the SMW Cake Shop are very good in taste, and the price is also the same as its taste, but there are still many people who like it.If it is said that this caused the other party's jealousy, it seems to be expected to want to destroy SMW.

"For such a small matter, don't bother a famous detective. Don't look at me as a high school student, I am also a detective and have solved many cases. Right, Conan?"

Saying that, Shiliang Zhenchun looked down at him and smiled.

"Ah? Ah, yes, yes."

At first, Conan was still in deep thought and didn't react.Afterwards, when I heard Shiliang Masumi calling me, I became nervous for no reason, and I answered "yes" without any reason. In fact, I didn't know what the other party said before.

Aoi Akagawa showed a joyful expression, "That's really great, please help find the real culprit."

Helping the cake shop find the arsonist is also helping other victims of similar experiences.Even if Aoi Aoi doesn't say anything, they will continue to investigate and find the arsonist, and they will never let him go unpunished.

"By the way, I have a map in my store, maybe I can help you a little bit."

Saying that, Aoi Akagawa opened the door and made a "please" gesture.

According to the information published on the Internet, Shiliang Masumi circled the locations where the arson cases occurred, mainly in Yuanrong Road and Chengchuan Road.

"The criminals set fire at the same time. In the afternoon it was Hara Sakae Road, in the evening it was Seongcheon Road, but it was extremely quiet during the day."

Conan touched his chin and thought, "It seems that the prisoner should be an office worker."

"Arson on the way home from get off work. Because it is a character that does what it feels like, there may be many arsonists who have not reported it. Judging by the crime method, it should not be a strict character, but just act according to the mood at the time. Personality. Male, in his early thirties, single."

Sera Masumi looked up at her, and said in surprise, "Why do you know so clearly?"

Only then did Qinghai Chuantang realize that she had never told the other party her identity.

So he simply introduced himself: "Qinghai Chuantang is a profiler."

"Shiliang is so pure."

A certain previous memory has been hidden under Qinghai Chuantang's unconscious hypnosis.As long as you don't receive too much stimulation, or you take the initiative to untie it, the other party will not think of it.

"From the Yuanrong Road bus station to the Chengchuan Road bus station, there is nothing, and it looks very quiet. But between the bus station and the subway station, an arson case occurred. It shows that the prisoner lives in Chengchuan Road and took the bus to Yuanrong to work."

Get off work between 6:6 pm and 30:[-] pm and live on Seongcheon Road.Then, as long as you look for people who buy cigarettes and acetone near Chengchuan Road, you may be able to find the prisoner.

Convenience stores, supermarkets, cosmetics stores. As long as there is acetone in the ingredients, they need to be checked one by one.

"By the way, there is also a pharmacy." Seeing everyone staring at her, Aoi Akagawa smiled shyly, "Because it is very useful for descaling in the kitchen, so I sometimes go to the pharmacy to buy some."

"Ah, it's a little strange!"

Conan seemed to have discovered something, pointed to somewhere and said: "The time when SMW5 was on fire was at four or five o'clock, during the daytime. If according to what the big sister said before, it should be at work, how could it be possible to go to work?" What about the crime?"

Shiliang Zhenchun didn't find it strange, "It's actually easy to understand if something unexpected happens. For example, rest days, suspension, and monthly leave."

"It is indeed possible. Sister, do you want to catch the criminal with us?"

With that said, Conan looked up at Qinghai Chuantang, showing an innocent smile.

Qinghai Chuantang stared at him with strange eyes, which made Conan feel a little inexplicable and puzzled.

"Isn't it the criminal police's business to catch criminals?" Then, he changed the subject and said, "However, if you want to go to SMW No. 5 store, I can give you a ride."

If you are walking, you have to walk for an hour or two, but it is much more convenient to take a car.It takes no more than 6 minutes to drive from shop No. 5 to shop No. 10, which greatly reduces the time consumption.

As the saying goes, time is money.

So, they didn't refuse.

After arriving at SMW No. 5 shop, Sera Masumi and Conan checked and searched the fire point.

"This cigarette butt was just lit"

There is a long section left.

But the cigarette butts in SMW No. 6 shop were only discarded after being smoked.

"Perhaps there is more than one prisoner."

Conan's gaze hardened.

It seems that the arsonist in SMW No. 5 shop imitated the modus operandi of the former.

　I wish the motherland a happy birthday.

　　I also wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~
　　One more later
