Chapter 218: The Suspect X
After all the itineraries were over, the sky had already darkened, and Sanada Ling was originally going to stay in a hotel.

Hattori Heiji strongly refused, and invited everyone to live in his home.

"It's all here, how can I still stay in a hotel, my mother has already arranged it, you just follow me."

"Ah, here comes the car, let's go quickly."

Sanada Ling and the others were pushed to Hattori Heiji's house, which is also a Japanese-style garden similar to Sanada's house and Tezuka's house.

She also met Hattori Heiji's mother, Hattori Shizuka, a heroic beauty.

If you look closely, there are still some similarities, that is, the skin color, uh, is it a bit obvious.

Hattori Shizuka greeted them with a smile, "This is Ling, I've heard them mention you several times, you're a good boy, just call me Aunt Jinghua."

Sanada Ling replied politely, "Aunt Jinghua, hello, I am Sanada Ling."

"Come, come, sit down, you're exhausted from playing all day, the room is ready, it's all brand new, don't worry."

"Excuse me."

They each returned to their own rooms, and Sanada Ling took a hot bath to wash away the fatigue of the day.

After tidying herself up, she didn't put on her pajamas and sleep under the covers, but changed into a new set of clothes.

She is waiting.

Sure enough, within 5 minutes, there was a knock on her door, and it was Mrs. Jinghua who came.

Mrs. Jinghua, who was wearing a purple kimono, smiled at Sanada Ling, "It seems that Ling has already guessed."

Sanada Ling nodded, "A little bit."

Hattori Shizuka led the way, "The study is upstairs."

Sanada Ling and Shangmen followed Mrs. Jinghua, and when they pushed open the door of the study, they were all quite together.

Hattori Heizo, Hattori Heiji, and Kudo Shinichi.

Good, she knew it.

After Mrs. Jinghua brought him in, "I'll make a cup of tea, you two can chat slowly."

"Excuse me."

"You're welcome, just sit down."

The door of the study was closed, Sanada Ling greeted with a calm demeanor, "Mr. Hattori, good evening."

Hattori Heizo's eyes are often squinted, and once he opens his eyes to stare at people, people with a clear conscience will be stared at something.

He looked deeply at Sanada Ling, and it took him a full minute to look away.

Sanada Ling breathed a sigh of relief, don't panic, it's all a small scene, what are you afraid of, ha... ha... ha.

Hattori Heizo lightly tapped the table and motioned them to read it, "This is a newspaper from recent years, take a look and see what you think."

Sanada Ling glanced roughly, and the center of her eyebrows moved slightly. These were all news about the explosion caused by the fire.

Kudo Shin was so low that he couldn't see, Hattori Heiji picked up his back collar, and let him look at it at the height of the table.

Kudo Shinichi: "."

Hattori, in fact, you can take down a copy of the newspaper and give it to me.

Hattori Heizo continued to serve as a commentator, "A week ago, a fire broke out in a residential building, burning to the kitchen and causing the gas cylinder to explode. The number of casualties was as high as dozens of people. Six of them were seriously injured. The rescue failed and passed away. gone."

"The explosion accident caused by the fire is no longer a low-frequency incident. I have investigated all the fire-related cases. The earliest can be traced back to five years ago, and a total of 23 cases have occurred so far."

"The reason why we noticed it so late is because the scope of the incident was very small in the first two years, and there were no casualties. After the fire brigade extinguished the fire, we didn't pay too much attention to the cause after investigating the cause."

"It is determined that these cases were not caused by accident, but by someone deliberately, and by the same person, and there is no imitation of crimes."

"Because we found the mark that the murderer left for us to see."

Hattori Heiji took out a dozen photos from his file bag, all of which showed a blurred black handprint, a deformed hand.

On the right hand, the middle finger is missing a knuckle, the ring finger and the little finger are stuck together, and the whole hand is thin and thin.

"It was determined by the Trace Inspection Department that all the fingerprints came from one person, but they became slightly larger with age."

Sanada Ling folded the newspaper and understood, a vicious serial murderer.

And it is a growing type, which is a bit tricky.

As Hattori Heiji's voice fell, their eyes all shifted to Sanada Ling. Serial murders are what she is good at.

Sanada Ling corrected her sitting posture, coughed lightly, "I do have a little understanding, do you want to listen to it for reference?"

stare---
The three men, big, middle and small, were all staring at her expressionlessly, not saying a word, their expressions still gloomy.

Okay, she just said a few words casually, look at you, really.

It's not that she hasn't dealt with the same type of homicide, on the contrary, she has dealt with it many times

Many people are well aware that the West advocates freedom very much, and if democracy is overdone, it is easy for some uncontrollable things to happen.

"The murderer was just an ordinary arsonist at the beginning, and he hadn't hurt anyone yet, so I think he was taking revenge."

"The degree of deformity of the right hand, if it is not natural, there is a 90% probability of burns, and he was also a victim in the first place."

"Severe burns, maybe also disfigured, so he was unwilling and very resentful, so he wanted revenge."

"But with the development of time, the simple burning of buildings can no longer satisfy him, and the anger in his heart has nowhere to vent."

"During this period four years ago, the frequency of setting fires increased significantly, and the fingerprints became more and more scribbled."

"Until this point," Sanada Ling's finger pressed on a piece of newspaper, it could be seen that it had been a few years, and the paper had turned yellow.

"Maybe it was an accident, or it was intentional. No. 1 victim appeared in the fire, and then the murderer disappeared for a while."

"My understanding is that the murderer is excited. Countless times of arson are not as exciting as this time. Will he be afraid? No, definitely not, he is reminiscing."

"The murder has stimulated the fragile nerves of the murderer. He uses fire as a weapon to dominate the life and death of people at will. He will feel extremely happy, and then it will get worse."

"He will shoot, there will be another bombing soon."

Sanada Ling made a conclusion, "The above is just my speculation, and there is no actual evidence. The specifics need to be investigated on the spot."

Hattori Heizo was not surprised that Rei Sanada would say this point of view, which is very exciting.

But, "Did you just say 'he'?"

In Japanese, her and his pronunciation are different.

Sanada Ling thought for a while and said, "The FBI once conducted a survey. Among all arsonists, teenagers accounted for between 65% and 75%. In addition to the changes in his thumb bones, I do A little speculation."

"Of course, before there is no new evidence to decide, the murderer can be tentatively identified as suspect X."

Hattori Heizo nodded, and then glanced at the two boys, both frowning and thinking hard.

"Why do you think the murderer will commit another crime."

Sanada Ling took out the latest newspaper on the desktop, and pointed to a line of bold and enlarged words on it, "Because the victim is still alive."

"The murderer's expected goal has not been achieved, and he will not let it go. In his view, the living victim may be a provocation and a manifestation of his failure. He will definitely plan another bombing."

In all previous cases, the victim died.

Hattori Heiji's face was gloomy, "Crazy, murderous pervert."

Sanadaling pinched her chin, agreeing with Hattori Heiji's last five words, which made sense.

The newspaper that Kudo Shinichi was holding was about to be crushed by him, this inhuman beast.

Hattori Heizo closed his eyes and thought deeply. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he said, "Come here first today, and go to the scene of the crime tomorrow. Go back and rest."

Hattori Heiji scratched his head, with a distressed expression on his face, "How can I fall asleep?"

Sanada Ling was about to get up and leave, but the sudden Hattori Heizo opened his eyes and happened to meet him.

"You stay."

As soon as these three words came out, Sanada Ling's eyelids twitched slightly, and she sat back obediently.

"Hey, Dad, what else do you want to talk about?"

Hattori Heizo waved people out, "Go back to sleep."

Kudo Shinichi missed a beat, Sanada Ling, you must not.
After everyone else had gone out, Hattori Heizo said, "Did you go to Tokyo two days ago?"

"Ah, I went to review and played around by the way."

"How is your body now?"

"The doctor said that the recovery is very good, continue to maintain."

Hattori Heizo nodded, and suddenly said, "Is the view of Tokyo Tower nice?"

Sanada Ling's face remained unchanged, "It's not bad, it's similar to Tongtian Pavilion."

Hattori Heizo glanced at her inexplicably, "Go back to your room and rest early."

Sanada Ling stood up, "Then I'll go back first, you should go to bed earlier."

As soon as she opened the door, she met Mrs. Jinghua who was smiling at her, "Aunt Jinghua."

"Are you done talking?"

Sanada Ling hummed, "It's over."

Hattori Shizuka: "Then go back to your room and rest, it's getting late."

"You too, good night, Aunt Jinghua."

"Good night, Ling."

Sanada Ling returned to the guest room step by step, and the moment the door closed, her face twitched.

Really fucking exciting.
