Conan: I Know Beast Language

The investigation on this Xuantian was intensified, but in the end there was no direct evidence to prove that Xuantian, that is... the chubby uncle, was directly related to the three cases.

However, the police did not give up on the investigation of Xuantian. Later, after investigation, it was found that the father of this uncle surnamed Xuantian was a firefighter, and when he was very young, he died in order to save people trapped in the fire. Guess if he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps because of this, or even guessed that the reason why he set the fire was... thinking that if there was a fire, his father would come back.

Fortunately, although there have been three arson cases in a row, there were no casualties. But just today, the fourth arson case happened. This time the fire happened in the fourth town of a certain town, and it happened to be That's...the house that Uncle Mao Li and the others went to before, and this time the matter was serious, because someone was burned to death, and the wife of that family was finally buried in the sea of ​​flames.

This is at the scene...the police also found a red horse, and based on the order in which the fires occurred, the police are more sure that the other party set the fire in sequence.

At the same time, the chubby uncle became even more suspicious because he was also in the crowd at the scene of the fire today, and they also found that the uncle looked very flustered at the time.

And there was a reason why Uncle Mao Li asked Mu Tianyuan to come over quickly, because Hattori Heiji found three characters on the base of a somewhat melted statue of a red horse, and the characters before and after could not be seen clearly. There is a "rabbit" in the middle

word, which refers to the red horse and a "rabbit"

Everyone couldn't help but think of the red rabbit horse.

Then everyone talked about Guan Yu, but Uncle Mao Li remembered that the owner of Chituma was Lu Bu. Later, he called Xiao Lan to say wait: when he returned home, Uncle Mao Li asked Xiao Lan on the phone. Lan, and after explaining to Uncle Mao Li, Xiao Lan mentioned that today someone gave her and He Ye a red key ring with Guan Yu riding a red rabbit horse.

This suddenly made the uncle nervous, especially, the uncle's home is still in Gomachime, if the next target is... Gomachime according to the previous order, that's right, so Uncle Mori notified while rushing back Mu Tianyuan, with Mu Tianyuan in Uncle Mao Li, he will be at ease.

As for if someone really set the fire, Uncle Mao Li... didn't expect Mu Tianyuan to put out the fire, and the purpose of informing Mu Tianyuan was also very simple. With Mu Tianyuan's vigilance, would it be okay to take his silly girl and Ye to run away? questionable.

"That's it,"

Mu Tianyuan nodded after listening to this, and then said a little strangely: "But if that's the case, then why did that... the chubby uncle come back to get that key ring again? I can see that The uncle seems to be not an excuse, but really anxious to go back, especially after getting the key ring, the uncle is obviously relieved, if he is really an arsonist, why would he do this, and finally surrendered himself?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Mu Tianyuan really doesn't understand, if this chubby uncle is... the arsonist, and he left the key ring of the red horse on purpose..., then there's nothing he can do about his behavior today to explain.

Leaving aside the matter that he has to... go back to the key ring, let's just say that the arsonist will knock on the door openly? Shouldn't this matter be done secretly? Even at the end, he even told Mu Tianyuan that if he didn't want to return the key ring... He would burn this place down, but Mu Tianyuan thought afterwards that although his expression was anxious at that time, he was not threatening. Now that Mu Tianyuan thinks about it, this chubby uncle really wants to prevent this from happening.

According to the police's analysis, he set the fire because he imagined that his father would appear, so he kept setting the fire, but the behavior of this chubby uncle today contradicted the police's guess! "Yeah, it's really strange if he came to Xiaolan just to ask for the key ring back."

Yueshui Nanatsuki on the side agrees with Mu Tianyuan's words. Originally they were suspicious of this chubby uncle, but now Yueshui Nanatsuki thinks it's a bit strange.

"yes,"

Hattori Heiji and Conan also nodded in agreement, and Uncle Maoli thought for a while and said: "Maybe he found out in his conscience, maybe he just wanted to set fire to the house, just like the previous three houses, but I didn't expect this time Human life happened, so he couldn't bear the self-blame in his heart, so he turned himself in."

As for... Uncle Mao Li's guess, Mu Tianyuan nodded on the surface, as if agreeing with the analysis of the famous detective Uncle Mao Li, but in his heart, he felt that the uncle must have guessed wrong again, not to mention anything else, if it was just because he blamed him You can turn yourself in directly, why do you have to take the key ring? Then after asking for the key ring back, he suddenly wanted to surrender, which is even more strange. Well, the key ring has the magic power to make people reform. Is it because of the influence of Lord Lan "What do you think?"

Mu Tianyuan poked the little fox and asked, the little fox glanced at Mu Tianyuan, then looked at the police car going away and muttered, "I suddenly think this is very interesting."

"interesting"

Mu Tianyuan looked at the little fox with some puzzlement, and the little fox flicked his tail and said, "You know, I read a book before, in which the murderers killed the people who lived in...

, three places with three letters beginning with the same name and three people with three letters at the beginning of the name, these three people have nothing in common except that the beginning of the name can be sorted, and there is no intersection..., many people at the beginning Everyone thought it was an alphabetical serial murder case, but..."

"What the murderer really wanted to kill was one of them."

Mu Tianyuan didn't wait: The little fox replied after finishing speaking, the little fox glanced at Mu Tianyuan in surprise and said: "You have seen it"

"No,"

Mu Tianyuan shook his head, and then said: "It's nothing more than... just making a fool of ourselves. First, we set up suspicious arrays to make our opponents unclear about our true intentions, and at the same time lead them to think in another direction to confuse them. In the end, We have all learned the most basic tactics to accomplish our own goals."

Although Mu Tianyuan hadn't read this story, he probably understood after hearing what the little fox said. It was nothing more than...creating false targets, misleading opponents and taking the opportunity to develop his real purpose of action.

"Yeah, that's pretty much it."

The little fox nodded at Mu Tianyuan, then the little fox yawned and said, "Don't you think the two are very similar?"

"Well, you are suspicious, there is someone behind this, and that... the chubby uncle is just a cannon fodder that was pushed out"

Mu Tianyuan squeezed his chin and muttered, the little fox hummed, and then said: "There is such a tragic character in that story, which makes me feel more and more similar between the two, maybe The real arsonist is... inspired by the story."

"This is not an arsonist, but a murderer. Mu Tianyuan corrected the little fox, and then Mu Tianyuan thought for a while and said: "If it is what you said, then the target may be... today dead man"

"I dare not say, maybe the one who died today was killed by them,"

The little fox glanced at Conan and Hattori Heiji and said with a smile, these two people went to someone's house today, who knows if it is because of them.

"If the one who died today was just a scapegoat, then the plan of the real culprit behind the scenes can only be shelved."

Mu Tianyuan also glanced at Conan and Hattori Heiji who didn't realize that they might have killed an innocent person, and at the same time muttered to the little fox.

That... the chubby uncle has surrendered himself. If the murderer continues to commit crimes as the little fox suspects, then that... the chubby uncle can basically be considered wronged or have other accomplices, presumably. In time, the police will still continue to investigate. That would be detrimental to...the real murderer behind the scenes, so if his target is not the person who died today, then his plan will still have to be terminated.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Tianyuan was a little puzzled and said, "But the question is, if that uncle is really not an arsonist, then why did he turn himself in?"

"Now I suspect that this uncle may really be wronged, and he should have some mental illness or other problems."

The little fox squinted his eyes and thought for a while before answering, and then the little fox said to Mu Tianyuan: "Do you still remember the things that uncle said before... for no reason? I've been wondering what it means if you don't take the key ring back here A fire will break out. According to the description of this sentence, can it be understood that the precondition for a fire here is...the key ring is left in the hands of Xiaojiaolan?"

"It's not wrong to understand that,"

Mu Tianyuan also thought so, and then Mu Tianyuan was a little puzzled and said: "But why do you say this?"

"Obviously, he already knew that there was this key ring at the site that was burnt down before, and he was convinced that... this is what he did. If I'm not wrong, he should think that the key ring is in the place There’s going to be a fire, it’s like a beacon, otherwise he wouldn’t have said that.”

The little fox squinted at Mu Tianyuan and said, after Mu Tianyuan nodded, the little fox continued: "Then you think a person who wants to get the key ring back in the middle of the night to prevent another fire will know Do you know that this kind of key ring will continue to be issued under such circumstances?"

"Ordinarily not, but he did. After all, the key ring in Lord Lan's hand was indeed given by him."

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Tianyuan said to the little fox, and then Mu Tianyuan said: "And there is another question, there are obvious loopholes in your assumption, why does he think that this key ring will become a guidepost for me?" It can be seen that he really wanted to prevent the fire from happening, but how did he decide that he was the one who started it?"

"Do you remember that he once said that it was not he who wanted to set the fire, but another him. What if he had a split personality? Or in other words, he thought he had a split personality?"
