Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

Chapter 352 The scene
"Mom, look, I was right, the red horse that can cause fires is really here!"

In the light of the fire, a mother and son were talking not far away.

"Little boy, how do you know the red horse has been here?" Hattori and Conan walked over immediately.

The fire has not been put out yet, so no search can be carried out.

Looking at the intensity of the fire, it is impossible that there was no accelerant. It is hard to say whether there is anything left at the scene. If there is any witness who saw something, it would be very important.

"Of course I saw it with my own eyes." said the child.

"When and where did you see it?" Conan asked.

"I only saw the shadow of a horse. I was watching Kamen Rider in the living room at the time. When I was about to sing along with the theme song, it suddenly became brighter outside, and a huge horse's shadow appeared on my curtains!"

The child stretched out his hands and gestured, and it could be seen that the shadow of the horse was indeed extremely large.

This little kid looks about the same age as Yuanta and the others, and lives to the right of the Morokaku family.

"quick!"

After Conan and Hattori asked clearly, they went straight over the wall of his house and stood outside the living room with the curtains drawn.

The fire at the Morokaku family was very fierce. Through the gaps, one could vaguely see a red horse in front of the window.

"Kamen Rider was broadcast at 7:30 p.m., and when the theme song started, a light suddenly appeared, shining on the horse, and then on the curtains of this living room."

If nothing else, Conan is well aware of these childish TV shows.

"This means that the arsonist set the fire and placed the horse in the window gap after 7:30..." Hattori nodded and said.

Two people were standing in someone else's yard analyzing the situation, while the little boy and his mother outside the yard looked confused.

Just flip over someone else's wall...

The mother was considering raising the fence, but 1.5 meters was not enough. The kid with glasses flipped over it in one go. It was really dangerous...

The fire burned for more than an hour, and the previously bright house was burned to a charred color.

"Please, let me go in and take a look!"

Hattori was standing at the door pleading with the police who were maintaining order at the scene.

"That won't do. Please don't make things difficult for me." As a police officer in Tokyo, even if he doesn't know others, he still knows Detective Mori and his apprentice.

However, there is no clue about the arsonist. If we let someone in now, we will face more than just a reprimand.

"From 1st chome to 4th chome, this is the first time that there have been casualties at the scene, right?" Lin Feng thought for a while and asked.

"You mean, a copycat?" Uncle Maori felt that this was possible.

Maybe someone with evil intentions chose this opportunity and planned to burn to death Mrs. Morokaku who lived in Haido-machi 4-chome?

"It doesn't look like it, but we already have a suspect."

Lin Feng shook his head and looked at Mr. Zhujiao who was crying not far away, and the Feng Shui master.

Both of them have motives.

The Feng Shui master was caught on video and had the evidence against him.

If Mr. Morokaku looked up and discovered that he was cuckolded, it would not be impossible for him to set fire to his wife and kill her.

Also visiting in the afternoon were the fortune-teller who wanted to borrow money from Mrs. Zhujiao, and the fat salesman...

"Hey, hey, hey, a fire scene is not a business you should investigate!" A sturdy middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth walked over and said with a smile.

The man had a neat crew cut and a square face. He held a cigarette in one hand and a portable ashtray in the other. He had already put out the cigarette while talking. "The fire daddy of the first class?!" Uncle Maori showed a surprised expression.

"Mauri, how can you call your former boss Fire Daddy?" Officer Yumiya smiled.

"Former boss?"

Hattori looked puzzled.

Wasn’t your previous boss Inspector Megure?

"He is Inspector Yuminaga of the Fire Crime Investigation Team of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division. I worked under him for a while." Uncle Maori began to introduce.

"You caused me a lot of trouble back then."

"After the fire broke out, you immediately concluded that it was arson, rushed to the scene, and messed up the evidence. I was reprimanded by the fire department several times for this."

Officer Gong Chang started to complain.

But judging from his expression, he didn't take his subordinate's reckless behavior seriously.

Moreover, this was indeed an arson case!
The red horse statue that had not been completely burned found at the fire scene could fully prove this point. It was very consistent with the evidence of the previous three consecutive arson cases.

"We were just talking about this. Could it be that the other party saw the evidence of this series of arson cases in the news media and used the same method to commit a copycat crime?"

Uncle Maori glanced at Lin Feng and asked Officer Gong Chang.

"Really? How is it possible to make an identical horse just by looking at a photo?" Officer Gong Chang shook his head.

After confirmation by forensic personnel, it was confirmed that these four red horses were made from the same mold.

The criminal had been provoking the police with his unique criminal characteristics, and this time someone finally died.

"Where did the fire start?" Hattori asked, looking at the house.

"Come with me, watch your step and don't step around." Officer Gong Chang took the lead into the yard, went around the right side of the villa, and passed the living room.

There is a very high air vent here, which is more than two meters high. This kind of small window is usually used in bathrooms or storage rooms.

Conan looked at the height of the window, compared it with the height of the wall, and nodded. The horse should be between the gaps in the window.

"The arsonist must have stood outside the air vent, poured lamp oil inside and set it on fire, and then placed the red horse on the windowsill." Officer Gong Chang made a reasonable inference.

"I also found a lot of wandering footprints near the living room window. If we investigate carefully, we will soon have the answer."

Fire Father said this, pointing to the living room on the side with a confident smile on his face.

"that……"

Uncle Maori opened his hands, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.

"Those footprints may be ours." Lin Feng said with a smile.

It was so dark that he could even see his own shoe prints not far away.

"Nani?!"

"Why did you run outside someone else's living room?" Officer Gong Chang urgently needed an explanation. He finally had a little hope, but it was shattered again.

"Honestly..."

Uncle Maori described in detail the process of this commission, as well as Mrs. Morokaku's unknown relationship...
