Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

Chapter 353 Red Rabbit
"Because there are always suspicious people wandering around the house in the middle of the night, so we asked you to investigate..." Officer Gongchang muttered.

There is no problem with the first half of this matter.

It’s okay for Mrs. Morokaku to say that she wants to cancel this commission.

That Feng Shui master is the college classmate who has always been with Mr. Morokaku...

In comparison, the behavior of these three adults and elementary school students hiding outside the living room to eavesdrop was really outrageous...

"No matter what, all of you should leave your footprints for the police." Officer Gong Chang rubbed his forehead and said that they still had to carry out elimination work.

Uncle Maori nodded and continued to talk about everything he had seen while squatting outside the house from this afternoon to evening.

In addition to Mr. Zhujiao, there were a total of three people who had visited this villa.

"We can basically rule out Mr. Morokaku and the Feng Shui teacher as suspects, right?" Hattori said thoughtfully.

According to the testimony of the little boy, the red horse shadow appeared after 7:30, and by that time, the two people had already gone out to drink.

They left at about 7:20, and we were preparing to return to Beika Town at around 7:25. In just five minutes, the arsonist really knew how to find an opportunity.

"Do you think that guy put the red horse here on purpose?" Lin Feng asked, staring at the air vent.

With my height, I can barely put the horse statue on it with my arms stretched out, it's really too much effort. It's hard not to think of something unnecessary.

"on purpose?"

Conan frowned, and his big brain started working again.

"That fortune-teller sister and that salesman are really suspicious." Uncle Maori nodded and said.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but at the moment, there are only these two suspects.

"Speaking of fortune tellers, there is a floor in the building in front of Beihu Station that is entirely devoted to fortune telling." Officer Gongchang gave a hint.

If it's a fortune teller, nine times out of ten they'll work there...

……

Lin Feng and his friends hurriedly drove to a fortune-telling place, fearing that others had gone off work.

"What did you say?"

"Ryoko, she's dead?!" Gondo Keiko, who was dressed like a great wizard, first exclaimed, then burst into tears and held her head.

She also said that she had calculated that her sister would be in danger of fire and should be careful, but she didn't listen to her advice.

"My father's funeral hasn't even been held yet, why are all of you leaving me!" She was still crying.

"This is the star of misfortune!"

"Heaven and earth will be in trouble, and his parents, brothers and sisters will all die an unnatural death. Anyone who gets close to him will become very miserable." Lin Feng nodded and told the fortune for the charlatan opposite him.

Just like Officer Gong Chang said, this floor of the building is full of charlatans, who use all kinds of scams in every cubicle.

Uncle Maori pursed his lips, not believing it at all, but he unconsciously took two steps back.

“What are you talking about…” Gondo Keiko wiped her tears, her heavy makeup was all smudged, she really looked like a female ghost…

"Ahem, excuse me, but where were you at 7:30 in the evening?" Uncle Maori coughed lightly and started asking about business.

"I was here at that time, right, next door?" Goto Keiko asked an old man holding a bunch of bamboo sticks in the shop next to her.

"Yes, because when we signed the contract with the landlord here, we could only start setting up the stall to tell fortunes from 7:30." The old man nodded and lowered his head to play with the fortune sticks.

"I'm so sorry, please accept my condolences." Officer Gong Chang said, and turned around and left the building with everyone else. It seemed that the woman who came to borrow money was not a suspect.

"The only one left is the salesman." Uncle Maori said.

But, that man is timid, does he have the courage to set fire and kill people?

"Do you remember his characteristics?" asked Officer Gong Chang.

"He's about 1.6 meters tall, wearing round-framed glasses, in his forties, and a bit fat."

"He probably runs an antique shop!"

"From the point of view of him handing out catalogs everywhere to attract customers, the store should be nearby."

"In my opinion, even if those three people have alibis, they cannot be completely ruled out as suspects."

Lin Feng and his friends started discussing at once.

After hearing the description of the suspect's characteristics, Officer Gong Chang lowered his head in thought, as if he was thinking of someone.

Everyone followed Officer Gongchang all the way back to the Metropolitan Police Department. They hadn't seen the most important evidence yet, so how could these people bear to leave?

"These are the four red horses left at the arson scene."

There were four evidence bags on the table, each containing a palm-sized red horse.

"This is the evidence I forced my colleagues in the Forensic Department to borrow." Officer Gong Chang said.

"Why was the horse found at the first arson scene so badly burned?" Hattori looked around and found that the first horse was obviously different. The degree of blackening was much higher than the other three.

"And only this horse has a pedestal," Conan reminded.

Lin Feng took the evidence bag and vaguely saw the word "rabbit" in the middle of the pedestal under the horse.

"Red Hare."

This thing looks like a small handicraft?
"You mean, is this the famous horse that appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Uncle Maori said in disbelief, looking at the red and charred horse.

By the way, what material is this made of? Plastic? It’s quite burn-resistant!

"It seems to be true. However, what does it mean to leave this horse behind?" Hattori pondered.

"No, there's something wrong with this horse."

Lin Feng touched the back of the first Red Hare horse.

There is an obvious bulge. Could it be that there was originally something on it?
But the other three horses didn’t seem to have this feature…

"Guan, Guan Yu?!" Hattori and Conan shouted at the same time.

"..." The repairman moved away from the two frightened people.

"In this case, the timid fat uncle becomes even more suspicious. Guan Yu is the god who blesses prosperous business. The uncle wanted to give a gift box to the deceased along with the catalog..." Hattori recalled the conversation he overheard.

That person said that the small gift can bless the business to be prosperous. Judging from the size of the box, it should be no problem to put the Red Hare in it.

"If we don't act quickly, he might escape!" Conan looked at Officer Yumichika who had been sitting upright.

"Well... could the man you saw be him?" Officer Gong Chang was silent for a moment and took out a photo from his jacket pocket. The person in the photo was the fat man wearing round-frame glasses and looking timid.
