Chapter 1163 1163 [The reference answer is not omnipotent]
"..." Zhu Jiao Ming's face became ugly.
The two sides looked at each other silently for a moment, and he made countless struggles in his heart.
In the end, Zhu Jiao Ming suddenly sighed, raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously, gritted his teeth and said:
"Actually, alas... Although the patient's information should be kept absolutely confidential. But my wife died in this fire, and I... I really can't forgive the guy who set it on fire!"
"Huh?" Jiang Xia politely motioned him to elaborate.
"Actually, I have seen the iconic 'red horse' in Gentian's antique shop. The size is different from the one at the fire scene. The one he placed in the shop is much larger, but the movement and shape are exactly the same. ." Zhu Jiao Ming pressed his forehead:
"Gentian had sleepwalking before, but it seems to have relapsed recently, so he went to see me for treatment - I'm a psychiatrist.
"I just checked the news about the serial arson case, and found that the time he came to me for treatment was the day after the first arson case!
"Although there is no evidence, it's such a coincidence that it's really hard for me not to suspect him. And I heard that in the first few minutes of the incident, he was also seen haunting my house... I prescribed some tranquilizers to him, He was also asked to follow-up regularly. I thought his condition should have improved, but I didn’t expect it to be so bad. If I didn’t drink at that time, I would have stayed at home. "
He raised his hand and wiped away a handful of tears.
Jiang Xia looked at him thoughtfully: "...So that's how it is."
…
the other side.
Hattori Heiji and Conan, in order to save the innocent before Jiang Xia... well, save the innocent prisoner Yu Kuhai, the two rubbed the police department's car and rushed to the place where several suspects were.
The husband of the deceased is said to be still at the Metropolitan Police Department, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
They went to the others first.
Originally, Conan and Hattori Heiji were still on the set of life and death speed. But when asked, the attention of the two detectives could not help being attracted by the case, and they seriously investigated the case.
Then found that, at first glance, the case seemed surprisingly simple.
——The arson time was 7:30 pm. The Feng Shui master and the deceased's husband were still on their way to drink. And the deceased's sister, the fortune-teller, started work at 7:30, and everyone in the stalls around her can attest.
"Four suspects, three with solid alibi."
Hattori Heiji turned the baseball cap on his head: "Then the rest is not only the manager of the antique store? - Well, maybe he also has an alibi, go to his shop and ask. I remember He distributed the store directory near the deceased's house, someone should have taken it. It must have the address of his store on it."
"Don't be so troublesome." Chief Gong Police Department sighed, turning the steering wheel, the vehicle drove straight in a certain direction, "I know where his shop is."
…
"The store manager? He's already home."
Went to the antique shop, and Xuantian Longde was not here. There were only two shop assistants on duty in the house: "In the case of the itinerary, the shop manager usually goes out early in the morning to distribute promotional catalogues and small gifts, and he will come back after get off work hours."
"Small gift?" The two detectives were suddenly alert, "The gift you mentioned must be a red horse, right?"
"Red horse?" The clerk was stunned, and then quickly regained his senses, "Oh, you mean the store manager's proud work, the Guan Yu statue keychain - no. In fact, at the beginning, we did send that one, but Few people understand the meaning of the statue. Some customers find it scary, and some find it ugly... In short, it is not popular.
"So it didn't take long for the store to change to another style, and now they're giving away lucky cat keychains - today the store manager sent it, it should be a lucky cat... Well, what happened to the store manager? ?"
"Nothing." Hattori Heiji paused and tapped the counter lightly, "Do you still have that Guan Yu keychain in stock? Show me."
…
When got the statue, the two detectives were stunned.
This is exactly the same shape as the "Red Horse" found at the fire scene.
——The statue left at the scene should be this one, but the statue of Guan Yu above was burned.
Leaving the antique shop, the two detectives looked at Chief Gong’s police department in surprise: “…We have such an important clue, why don’t you guys go down and investigate?!”
"I actually investigated him." Chief Gong police department sighed, "The first arson case happened next door to his house. At that time, he was standing in the crowd of onlookers, watching the fire in panic, shouting all the time. 'dad'."
"..." Hattori Heiji and Conan froze for a moment, and shuddered when a man in his thirties or forties appeared in his mind afraid to call his father in the street.
Seeing their expressions, the police department reluctantly waved their hands: "It does sound a bit strange, but there is a reason - his father was a firefighter. Unfortunate people died."
"I see." The two detectives sighed in understanding.
immediately thought of something, and frowned: "However, thinking in a bad direction, it may be that he subconsciously feels that after the fire, his father will come to fight the fire, so..."
Before he finished speaking, Hattori Heiji's cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and heard the urging voices of Yuan Shan and Ye:
"It's already cold for dinner, when are you coming back?"
"This is not the time to eat!" Hearing this late at night, Hattori Heiji's stomach suddenly groaned. He couldn't help regretting that he didn't order portable food like Jiang Xia before...but it was too late to regret it now.
So I had to try to use the enthusiasm of investigating the case to replace the desire to eat: "We are busy investigating the matter of the red horse. After the investigation, we will eat by ourselves, you don't have to worry about it."
"Red horse?" Yuan Shan and Ye glanced at Guan Yu's small ornaments on the table and laughed, "Speaking of which, we received a small gift today, guess what?"
“…?”
Hattori Heiji didn't have time to talk to him at first, but he suddenly remembered the Maori Detective Agency, which happened to be in the "five" chome, and Maori Kogoro was going out for a drink tonight, so he was surprised when he was not at home: "...don't tell me it is The keychain for the statue of Guan Yu."
"Eh?" Yuan Shan and Ye were surprised, "How do you know? Did you secretly look up the reference answer? ... But even Jiang Xia couldn't guess so accurately. Could it be that you guys are already back, hiding in the Peeking at us nearby?"
"Stop talking nonsense!!" Hattori Heiji was shocked, "Leave the house immediately! Wait in a crowded place nearby!"
After he said that, he cut off the phone and looked at the Chief Gong Police Department: "The next target of the serial arsonist may be the Maori Detective Office of the 5-chome, Rice Flower Town - hurry up, go right now!"
