Chapter 512 Red Horse

There was no need to mention the words of preaching and thanks. After hanging up the phone, the two of them began to relax again.

"What are you going to do later?" Karasawa looked at Hattori and asked, "Are you going back to Osaka? After all, it's normal to want to go back early after something like this happened."

"I'm not going back. It's hard to come to Tokyo." Hattori waved his hand, showing no fear at all as he had just escaped from danger. "This little thing can't scare us."

"That's right, I also want to talk more with Xiaolan." He Ye also echoed from the side.

"Then let's go eat sukiyaki later to celebrate your escape from danger." Karasawa took out his mobile phone and dialed Ayako's number. Before the call was answered, he smiled and said, "I'm treating you."

After the call was connected, Karasawa immediately told Ayako what was going on here, asking her to pack up and go out, and wait for them to find a sukiyaki restaurant and come over for dinner together.

After that, Karasawa and others went to the mall with Hattori and Kazuha to buy some clothes. After all, they both got wet when it rained, and they didn't have time to dry off in the attic.

After calling for clean clothes, everyone decided on the address of the sukiyaki shop after discussion. After Karasawa called Ayako, everyone headed towards their destination.

Because of the number of people, Karasawa took Conan and Hattori, while Mouri Kogoro took Xiaolan and Kazuya in a taxi.

After arriving at the sukiyaki restaurant called "Japanese Style", Karasawa saw Ayako sitting on the seat by the window and waving to his group.

After entering, Karasawa took off his coat and sat next to Ayako, "Where's Sonoko? Why didn't you come with us?"

"She was dragged by her mother to watch the opera together." Ayako reached for Karasawa's coat and hung it on her backrest. "I was handling affairs at the company, and I came here after you called me."

"Thank you for your hard work. The company's affairs will trouble you more." Karasawa poured a glass of water for Ayako and said warmly.

"It's not that hard." Ayako smiled and shook her head, "I just made some arrangements according to your plan, and the rest was executed by the people below."

"Coordinating is hard work." Karasawa smiled and took Ayako's hand. Ayako seemed a little embarrassed to be in close contact with so many people, so she took Karasawa's hand and secretly lowered it under the table to block everyone's view.

The pot bottoms were served quickly. After Tang Ze and others ordered other side dishes, they started chatting.

"Come, let's drink to Hattori-kun and Ye Ping'an for getting out of danger!"

After pouring the drinks, Xiaolan raised her glass happily, and everyone clinked their glasses with juice or beer to celebrate.

"But I really didn't expect that the famous and good lawyer Ito Misari would actually do such a thing... He even arrested Hattori and Kazuha..." Xiaolan sighed.

"Hmph, guys who look like humans and dogs are all glamorous on the surface, but dirty behind the scenes." Kogoro Mouri sneered: "Think about it, after all, it is much easier to make money by helping people in the financial world evade taxes than litigating lawsuits. "

"But Mr. Kusukawa is awake now." Tang Ze said with a smile: "The contents of the safe also cooperated with the police to take them out, and none of those guys can escape."

"But that Obasan is really a bit too much." He Ye was a little angry when he said this, "She actually wants to burn us to death. She is really bad."

"Burn to death...?" Xiaolan was a little confused.

"It's an excuse after killing people and silencing them."

Hattori Heiji said in a sarcastic tone: "She planned to burn Mr. Kusukawa and the two of us to death, and then pretended that someone was dissatisfied with the verdict, so she went to set fire to retaliate, but she contacted our two guests..."

"That's really dangerous..."

Mouri Kogoro picked up a piece of beef, mixed it with eggs in a bowl, and put it directly into his mouth. "If a fire is really set, at this time, it might be mistaken for the work of an arsonist..." "Arsonist?"

"He's a bad guy who set fires continuously in Tokyo."

As a working criminal, Tangze has naturally heard of some cases even if he is not responsible for it: "This case is not under our department. There is a special fire investigation department in charge. It seems that the person in charge is Officer Gongchang."

"Eh? Fire daddy?" Mouri Kogoro couldn't help shouting after hearing Karasawa's words, "Is he responsible for this case?"

"What "Fire Daddy"?" Hattori Heiji asked strangely: "That archer criminal?"

"Ah, he used to be my boss." Mouri Kogoro explained: "At the beginning, I spent some time in the fire department..."

"If he was a serial arsonist, would his methods be the same?" Hattori Heiji looked at Karasawa while holding vegetables.

"No, this guy doesn't have any fixed arson techniques." Tang Ze shook his head and said: "The reason why we can be sure that it is the same person is because that guy always leaves a mark at the crime scene."

Hattori Heiji's eyes narrowed, "Logo?"

"Well, a doll." Tangze nodded: "A red horse covered in purple and black blood!"

"Red, red horse?"

Kazuha was a little scared after hearing Karasawa's words, but Hattori Heiji had a look of understanding on his face, "I see, this is really a blatant provocation."

"Eh? Why do you say that?" Xiaolan asked doubtfully.

"Because in the internal criminal lingo, "red horse" alludes to arsonists." Karasawa explained: "The reason why there is such a name may be because the shape and color of the flames are similar to the red horse." .

Of course, some people would compare it to a red dog or a red cat. After all, flames are invisible and have different feelings in everyone's eyes. "

"If the "Red Horse" doll was deliberately placed there by the arsonist, then the prisoner is really arrogant." Hattori said with a serious expression.

"Yes, this seems to be saying, "If you criminals can, come and arrest me."

Tang Ze shook his head and said: "There are so many crazy prisoners these days, but fortunately there were no casualties in the three arson incidents that occurred before. It is a blessing among misfortunes."

"It's just that those victims were also victimized inexplicably."

Mouri Kogoro took a sip from the wine glass and said: "They have nothing in common, and they have never bought a red horse doll or received a red horse, so the red horse at the crime scene can basically be left behind by the prisoner.

But these days, few people use the jargon "Red Horse"..."

"If that's the case, could the prisoner want to target older criminals, so he deliberately placed this kind of doll as a symbol?

Hearing what Mouri Kogoro said, Hattori Heiji touched his chin and said: "This may also be the motive and cause of the criminal's crime...

Apart from this, are there any other patterns in these three cases? "
