I'm making soy sauce in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 745 Red Horse Statue
"Actually, I don't want to mention it either." Kazuha had completely recovered from today's incident, and she was a little angry when talking about Ito Misari.

"But that Obasan is really bad. He actually wanted to burn us to death."

"To burn you to death?" Xiao Lan looked up at He Ye, a little surprised.

In fact, Ito Misari's first impression of Xiaolan was not bad.

It may be because she is also a lawyer like her mother, and because she chatted for a while.

She felt that Ito Misari was also very kind to others, with a smile on her face all the time, and there was a cat at home, so she didn't look like someone who would do things like set fire.

Xiaolan knows the truth that people should not be judged by their cover.

But what she didn't expect was that there was such a big contrast between Ito Misari's real image and her revealed image.

"That's right, she set fire to her own house in order to make others think that she set fire to the house because she offended someone during the lawsuit, and set fire to the house to vent her hatred. As a result, the people in the house were burned to death before they could escape." Hattori Heiji nodded , explained.

"It's hard to draw a dragon or a tiger. You know people and faces but don't know your heart." Guangyou looked indifferent while eating. He had seen this kind of thing too much, and he was used to it.

"Then you really almost died." Uncle Mao Li drank, his face flushed, and he frowned slightly, recalling the news he had seen before.

When recalling, Uncle Maori poured himself a glass of beer and said, "Maybe, the responsibility for the case will be shifted to the arsonist who caused panic in the neighborhood."

Now that I think about it, Misari Ito's address is in the [-]th-chome of Xianqiao Town, which is in line with the law of the previous arson case.

Once someone spreads a rumor that the case is committed by the same person as the previous arson case, over time, everyone will think so.

"Arsonist?" Hattori Heiji suddenly became curious.

This is the rhythm of the case!
"." Kosuke looked up at Hattori Heiji, a little speechless.

"Yes, recently, there have been several arson incidents in Tokyo." Xiaolan nodded and explained.

"Since it will be called continuous, it means that there is some special connection between these arson cases?" Hattori Heiji instantly thought of the point, "For example, the modus operandi."

"No." Uncle Mao Li drank the beer in the glass in one gulp, and when he talked about the case, his expression became more serious, "Although the methods are not uniform, the police always leave a statue of a red horse at the scene of the crime. .”

"A statue of a red horse?" He Ye obviously didn't know what the statue of a red horse represented. Seeing Uncle Mao Li's serious expression, she asked, "Does this statue have any special meaning?"

"I see."

After hearing this sentence, Hattori Heiji showed a playful look on his face, "The statue of the red horse should represent the code used by the police to arsonists—the meaning of red horse."

"So there is such a code?" Guangyou is actually not very clear about this, and today is the first time he heard that there is such a code.

but
It just occurred to him that if the statue of the red horse was deliberately left by the arsonist at the scene of the arson, that means
"If you say that, the statue of the red horse is a kind of provocation by the arsonist against the police?" Kosuke looked up at Hattori Heiji.

"Hmm." Hattori Heiji glanced at Yuu and nodded, "It probably means 'I'm an arsonist, if you can catch me, just come and catch me'."

"You know it quite clearly." Uncle Mori agreed with Hattori Heiji's statement, and said seriously, "However, there have been no casualties in the three arson cases so far, which is considered a blessing among misfortunes."

"Is there any connection between the three arson cases?" Hattori Heiji frowned. After talking about this case, he didn't care about eating. "Or is it that the criminals just like to intentionally set fires to provoke the police?"

"I'm not sure about that. There doesn't seem to be any connection between the three arson cases." Uncle Mao Li only saw these few news in the newspaper.

I haven't asked the police, so I don't know much about it.

"If you want to talk about connections, there are." Uncle Mao Li took a sip of wine, pinched his chin, raised his head, and recalled, "The locations are scattered in various places."

"I remember the first incident happened in Lizen-cho [-]-chome."

"The second one is Toriya-cho [-]-chome."

"The third incident happened at Okuho-cho [-]-chome."

"If that's the case, next is the fourth chome somewhere?"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji also understood what Uncle Mori said just now, "So that's it, I remember that the address of Obasan's house happened to be the [-]th-chome of Xianqiao Town."

"If she succeeds, the responsibility will most likely be passed on to the arsonist who committed three consecutive crimes."

"Yes, and it is not certain that the arsonist committed the crime without warning, and the police cannot rule out this possibility." Uncle Mori nodded and said, "So the police have stepped up patrol work in the [-]-chome area of ​​Tokyo."

"It feels a bit difficult." Guangyou put down his chopsticks after eating, and said, "The police have no clues now, and there are four chomes in many places in Tokyo."

"This is beyond our control. We can only hope that the police can catch the arsonist soon." Uncle Mao Li curled his lips and suffocated the beer in his glass.

After drinking it, he complained: "Since the third case, the izakaya near [-]-chome have been closed, saying that they are worried about arsonists, really."

Not only that, but some of his poker friends said they wanted to leave Tokyo, so as not to be burned to death while sleeping at home one day, they just happened to travel to Kyushu and Hokkaido.

"Actually, I might know a house that would be targeted by an arsonist."

After Hattori Heiji said this, Conan, who was immersed in the dinner, raised his head instantly and looked at Hattori Heiji.

He was actually interested in the case as well.

But the heart is more than enough.

Right now he's just guessing that the arsonist committed an arson spot that might be somewhere in [-]-chome.

But there are so many in [-]-chome, and he didn't find any connection between the arson sites other than the address, so there was no way to find them.

Even Guangyou was a little surprised.

Several people looked at Hattori Heiji who said this.

Only Xiao Ai, who had no interest in the arson case, kept her head down and ate her dinner slowly, including a piece of fish.

"It's the commission that Mr. Kusukawa just received." Hattori Heiji recalled the situation that Kusukawa introduced to himself, and said, "I heard that at night, suspicious figures can be seen walking around the house."

"And the address is in [-]-chome, Kuboto-cho. He is injured now and can't continue, so he asked me to help take this case and go to the client to see the environment."

"That's a coincidence." Guangyou picked up the cup and took a sip of the juice, his eyes swept over Hattori Heiji and Conan, "Maybe it might be there."

When two gods of death come together, the power is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Anyway, he eats melons.

"Yeah, anyway, there is no other place to go this time, so my uncle and I will take this kid with glasses and go to that person's house tomorrow."

Saying that, Hattori Heiji stretched out his hand, ignored Conan's threatening gaze, and rubbed his head.

Laughing is called happiness.
