Ke Xue: Picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning

Hattori Heiji said: "Hmph! If you want to watch a movie, I'm not interested in accompanying you. I'm leaving..."

"Wait, Heiji, it's raining outside! It's not too late to act after the rain stops." Yuan Shan and Ye got up and persuaded.

"I don't have time to spare..." Hattori Heiji waved his hand, took a piece of bread in his mouth, and left.

"Hehe... As expected of Hattori Heiji, he did not disappoint me." Bai Quanyi couldn't help laughing.

"Alas..." Toyama and Ye sighed, not knowing what to do with the persuasion department Heiji...

After breakfast, Bai Quanyi drove Yuanshan, Ye and Hattori Shizuka to the cinema to watch a movie. After watching the movie, he went shopping again... The weather didn't clear up until the afternoon.

Bai Quanyi received a call from Hattori Heiji, and he went to Kabado [-]-chome to investigate the arson case. After the rain stopped, the fourth fire broke out. .

There is no way, Bai Quanyi has to make a trip.

Therefore, Bai Quanyi drove Yuanshan, Ye and Hattori Shizuka back to the hotel, and then made peace with Hattori Heiji.

Shiraizumi rushed to Kabado [-]-chome. The firefighting procedures of the firefighters were not over yet. Hattori Heiji stood by the fire scene to check the situation.

"Hatto-kun, what's going on? Did the fire happen right under your nose?" Bai Quanyi asked.

Hattori couldn't help complaining: "I came here in the morning, and the woman said I was suspicious, so she sent me away. Unexpectedly, there was an arson case in the afternoon..."

After the hard work of the firefighters, the fire was finally extinguished and failed to spread, but the life of Zhujiao Liangzi, the hostess of Zhujiao's family, was taken away, which made the fire seem a bit heavy.

Shiraizumi showed his credentials and entered the scene with Hattori Heiji for investigation.

An elderly police officer with a beard on his face took a look at Bai Quanyi and said, "Boy, why are you here? This is not under the control of the third department of forcible offenders."

Bai Quanyi said: "Gongchang Police Department, don't be so rude, I just want to help..."

Hattori Heiji asked: "Who is this person? He looks so fierce."

Bai Quanyi said: "He is the bow chief of the Police Department's first investigation section of the arsonist investigation team..."

Bai Quanyi looked at Gong Chang's police department and asked, "Is this incident also an intentional arson?"

"Yes, this time the fire must have been intentionally set on fire," Officer Gongchang affirmed, "The red horse that appeared at the scene was made from the same model as the previous three arson cases, and there is no such thing on the market. Selling... [-]st, [-]nd, [-]rd, and then to [-]th this time, that guy set fires in order. He must be laughing at us police now, but unlike before, this time someone died, but it's not so easy to end .”

Officer Yumachi looked at the messy fire scene and took a puff of cigarette, then turned to Hattori next to him and asked, "By the way, who is this foreigner?"

Bai Quanyi said: "He is the son of the Osaka Prefectural Police, Hattori Heiji."

Hearing that the other party was so powerful, Officer Gong Chang turned a blind eye to him and ignored him.If it was Kudo Shinichi who had no background, he would have been blasted away by him long ago.

At this time, a police officer brought over a wimpy-looking uncle.

"Police department, this uncle was sneaking around the scene of the fire. I thought he was suspicious, so I brought him here."

The uncle sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, the red horse is mine. I came here just to get back that key chain, otherwise... there will be a fire, and I will set fire to it because of that key chain..."

Gong Zhang raised his eyebrows: "You mean, you started the fire."

The uncle broke down and cried: "My name is Xuantian Delong. I have somnambulism, and I will involuntarily set fires in my sleep. It is useless to see a psychiatrist. This fire, including the previous few fires All the red horse key chains left at the site were made by me."

Bai Quanyi asked: "Uncle, why did you do such a thing?"

"I don't know, I really don't know anything!" Xuantian cried bitterly and hugged his head, "There is another self in my body, he must have set fire to me when I was unconscious, this is Wuchome, if the key If the chain is here, he will definitely mess around again, please..."

Gong Zhang frowned, and asked his subordinates to take the uncle back to the police station and ask for details.

Several consecutive arson cases ended in such a dramatic way.

However, Hattori Heiji absolutely does not believe that things are that simple.

Hattori Heiji silently watched the police car go away, feeling a little uncomfortable: "Is that uncle really an arsonist?"

Bai Quanyi said: "I don't know, let's go to the Metropolitan Police Department to see the situation together."

Chapter 117 Solving the Arson Case

The two of them did some investigation in Kuboto-cho [-]-chome, including the antique shop where Xuan Tian worked...

After that, the two came to the department of the arsonist search team. The Longbow police department was discussing the case with his subordinates in the room, and there were many evidences on the table.

When the Longbow Police Department saw the two people coming in, they didn't say much, what to do or what to do.

"Xuantian still can't say anything," Police Officer Gongchang pointed to several burnt red horses, "However, these red horses left at the scene of the arson are indeed the red rabbit horse on the key chain, according to your According to the theory, Xuantian not only visited the victim, but also wandered around before the fire, so..." Police officer Gongchang was pondering, and suddenly saw Hattori touching the evidence, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, these evidences are all from me. I finally got it from the laboratory, so be careful!"

Hattori picked up the red horse from the first case, observed it carefully, and said, "This horse still has the base of the red rabbit horse, with the word 'rabbit' on it...how come only this horse was burnt?"

Bai Quanyi opened his mouth and said, "Could it be that the base of the red rabbit horse will be ripped off by the arsonist?"

Hattori Heiji raised his face: "What does it mean to tear off the base?"

"If there are bases, they might be found to be red rabbit horses. It's easy to suspect Mr. Xuantian who is handing out Guan Yu key chains as promotional gifts..." Bai Quanyi sat down next to him.

"I just asked the antique store in Kuboto-cho where Mr. Xuantian is located. There is a strange thing. Mr. Xuantian has been distributing product descriptions and gift key chains near the antique store since the morning, but because of the previous evaluation No, the key chain sent today has actually been replaced with a lucky cat..."

"What's so strange about this?" Gong Zhang said in a daze, "Maybe he took it wrong..."

"That's the problem. The pendant is packed in a box, so it's not surprising to be confused, so when I came here just now, I studied the route of Mr. Xuantian's activities today." Quan Yi spread out a bus map on the desktop and pointed out Marked with a red line.

"Mr. Gentian first distributed key chains around Zhujiao's house, right?"

"Indeed..." The archer nodded.

"Then at around 5 o'clock in the evening, Mr. Xuantian went back to the antique shop to have a look...but then why did he go to Zhujiao's house and set fire to it?" Bai Quanyi said.

"Wait," Hattori looked at the road map drawn by Quan Yi, thought for a while, and his expression suddenly changed, "The reason why Mr. Xuantian went to Zhujiao's house again is probably not to set fire, but because 17 found out that he sent the wrong message. The key chain wanted to be recycled... so I hurried to Gochome after the fire broke out..."

Officer Gongchang frowned, lit a cigarette, and said, "It's very similar to the Xuantian I know... In fact, when the fire first broke out, we also suspected Xuantian at that time, but I don't think that guy would set fire people."

"Was it the first case of arson in Toshizen Town?"

"Well, at that time he was among the crowd watching the excitement, talking to himself strangely while looking at the flames... bothering Dad..." Gong Zhang let out a long puff of smoke under the eyes of everyone, and fell into the memory . "The guy's father was a firefighter. When he was in elementary school, he was killed by the fire trying to save people trapped in the sea of ​​fire. So we thought, maybe Xuantian set the fire because he missed his father. He might I fantasize that my father will rush over if there is a fire..."

"Sure enough... Xuantian is not the murderer!" Hattori Heiji said.

"That's because there is really no evidence to be found, and...he is not the kind of person who would set fire to other people's houses, he is not that kind of person," Gong Zhang looked tired, shook his head and got up and left the room, "I Then go to Xuantian and ask."

Shiraizumi and Hattori Heiji glanced at each other, and followed Gongchang to leave.

Bai Quanyi and Hattori Heiji split into two groups. Bai Quanyi went to ask Xuantian, and Hattori Heiji went to Xuantian's house to check the situation. Baiquanyi gave the key of Xuantian's house to Hattori Heiji privately.

In the interrogation room, Xuantian sat alone with his head bowed, looking depressed and resigned to his fate.

A policeman stood outside in distress, and said to Officer Gongchang: "He still can't say why, he just insists that another person set the fire."

"Hmm." Officer Gong Chang nodded to signal the police to leave, and looked at the exhausted Xuantian in the interrogation room through the glass with a heavy expression.

"If no other clues can be found, we can only send him for trial..." After a pause, Gong Zhang sighed and turned to Quan Yi: "Officer Bai, do you know why I believe him?"

Quan Yi was also a little curious, guessing: "Is it because of Xuantian's firefighter father?"

Gong Zhang neither denied nor nodded, but just recalled, "When I was investigating Xuantian, I called him to the park once and talked to him once, but after 30 minutes the guy didn't say anything, he just looked sad like that. Sitting on the bench all the time, it's about the same as now..."

"However, when I left, I glanced from a distance, and saw him leave the bench, desperately looking for something in the surrounding grass, and he gave up after a while when it started to rain. I see, what he was looking for was the cigarette butt I had smoked, which was the cause of the fire that killed his father..." Chief Gong silently stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, his eyes earnest.I can't imagine that a guy like him would set fire to someone's house, and I don't want to think about it..."

Bai Quanyi looked at the silent Xuantian in the interrogation room, and his understanding of this wimpy uncle deepened.

The death of his father may have become Xuantian's heart knot, which is why he was caught by the real murderer and took advantage of his weakness. In this way, the suspects, whether they are psychiatric police officers, Feng Shui masters, or fortune tellers, may be mentally ill. Control Xuan Tian.

"I can't fully promise to solve the case...but let me talk to him first."

Quan Yi nodded and walked into the interrogation room.

……

Toshizencho, Xuantian's house.

When Quan Yi arrived at the door in police officer Gong Chang's police car.

Hattori Heiji said with a smile: "I have already found out how the prisoner ignited the fire first?"

Bai Quanyi looked at the embarrassing Hattori and nodded, "Then how did you make the alibi, have you figured it out?"

Hattori didn't continue to be complacent, and said with piercing eyes: "We checked the scene again, and there were fragments of white woven light bulbs at the fire site, and there were ribbon-shaped brown scorched marks and black round marks on them, and there were paper towels everywhere on the burnt area. The prisoner should have wrapped a paper towel around the 100w light bulb and plugged in a match. Once the surface temperature of the light bulb is high enough, the match will be ignited automatically..."

"The surface temperature of a 100w light bulb can reach 218 degrees, and it is easy to ignite a match. The prisoner must have tampered with the light bulb in the warehouse in advance, and then sprinkled oil on the floor, and put the red horse with the base removed by the window. The timing of the ignition can be adjusted by the amount of paper towels wrapped around the bulb...”

Hattori looked at Xuantian's family and said with a smile: "This is the prisoner's automatic ignition device. The most obvious evidence is that there is still a shimmering white weaving lamp before the shadow of the red horse is printed on the curtain next door! The next step is to find out how the prisoner manipulated Xuantian and what else. The last piece of evidence..."

"So that's how it is," Gong Zhang pondered, "According to what you said, it seems that it can indeed ignite automatically, but the traces on the bulb may also be formed accidentally during the fire, and if this device is used, it is possible that all three people ?"

When Bai Quanyi walked into the entrance, he was attracted by the shoe prints in the hallway at first sight. He took out the shoes in the shoe cabinet in the entrance and tried them on. Xuantian's shoe prints were about the same size.

"Xuantian lives alone in such a big house..."

"Well, after his father died, he lived with his mother. I heard that his mother also passed away last year." Gong Zhang changed into slippers in the hallway, and looked at the shoe prints with a frown.

"Are these shoe prints belong to Xuantian?"

"Just as I thought," Uncle Mori followed Conan and took out mud-filled socks and a shirt with burnt marks from the trash can next to him. , what he said may be true..."

"It's too early to say so," Quan Yi stood up and said, "Maybe this is also the trick of the real murderer..."

Now the most critical alibi has been explained, which is the automatic delayed ignition.

In addition, he has already asked about the motives of several suspects. The Feng Shui master Zengwo was threatened by the deceased Mrs. Ryoko with an adulterous video, and the female fortune teller Quan Teng was able to get a large sum of money from her recently deceased father after Ryoko died. Inheritance, the will is to leave the inheritance to the person who inherits Zhujiao's surname, so originally only Ryoko who recruited a son-in-law can get the inheritance...

As for the married son-in-law, Zhu Jiaoming, the spiritual police officer, although he would lose his inheritance because of his wife's death, he was not without motives.

I heard that Zhu Jiaoming has always wanted to demolish the house and build his own hospital, but Liang Zi, who owns the house, disagrees. In addition, Zhu Jiaoming probably knows about Liang Zi's affair...

In a typical case in the world of Conan, the real culprit should be one of these three people.

Quan Yi held his chin with his hand, and the details of the front and back flashed through his mind quickly.

"Hey, Bai-kun," Hattori yelled after looking through the shoe cabinet for a while, "Come here!"

"Is there a problem?" Bai Quanyi asked.

"Look, this is the receipt for the phone bill on the shoe cabinet. Isn't it strange that I spent 3 yuan a month? That guy Xuantian doesn't seem to call often."

"En." Bai Quanyi nodded.

"So," Hattori rubbed his chin and recalled, "it's the same with that idiot Kazuha, who often calls for a long time. Why do women like to call so much?"

Quan Yi did not strike up a conversation, but turned his attention to the vase placed in the shoe cabinet.

"Yes, there is a bug in the vase! This vase seems to be the same as the decoration in the entrance of Zhujiao's house..."

"Are there other places?" Hattori Heiji looked surprised.

Then, Izumi stood with Officer Yumachi, silently watching Hattori rush into the room to dump the trash can.
