Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning

Chapter 117 solved the arson case.

The two investigated at the four-chome town of Cuptocho, including the antique shop where Genda worked·

After that, the two went to the arsonist search team’s section, where the Longbow Police Department was discussing the case with his subordinates in a room with a lot of evidence on the table.

When the Longbow Police Department saw the two people come in, they didn’t say much, what to do.

“Genda still can’t say anything.”

The bow chief officer pointed to a few burnt red horse roads,

“However, these red horses left at the scene of the arson are indeed the red rabbit horses on the key chain, according to your account, Genda not only visited the victims, but also wandered around before the fire, so…”

Officer Bow Chief pondered, and suddenly saw Hattori touching the evidence, and quickly shouted: “Hey, these evidences are all from the laboratory department that I finally wanted, you give me care!” ”

Hattori picked up the red horse in the first case, looked at it carefully, and said: “This horse still retains the base of the red rabbit horse, and there is a word “rabbit” on it… How is it that only this horse is charred? ”

Bai Quanyi spoke, “Could it be that the base of the red rabbit horse after that was ripped off by the arsonist?” ”

Hattori raised his face: “What does it mean to rip off the base?” ”

“If you have a base, you may be found to be a red rabbit horse, and it is easy to suspect that Mr. Genda who took the key chain of Guan Yu and distributed it everywhere as a promotional giveaway…”

Bai Quanyi sat down next to him.

“I just asked the antique shop in Cuptocho, where Mr. Genda is located, and there is a very strange place, Mr. Genda has been distributing the store’s product descriptions and gift key chains near the antique store since the morning, but because of the bad evaluation before, the key chain sent today has actually been replaced with a lucky cat…”

“What’s so strange about that?”

Bow Chang was stunned,

“Maybe he took it wrong….”

“The problem is here, the pendant is in a box, and it’s not strange to get confused, so when I came here just now, I studied the route of Mr. Genda’s activities today.”

Quan Yi opened a bus map stand to the table, pointing out red lines.

“Mr. Genda first handed out key chains in the area near the Zhukaku house, right?”

“Indeed…..”

Bow Commander nodded.

Then it was around 5 o’clock in the evening, and Mr. Genda went back to the antique shop to take a look… But then why did he go to the house of the horns and set it on fire? ”

Bai Quanyi said.

“Wait.”

Hattori looked at the road map drawn by Izumi, thought for a while, and his expression suddenly changed,

“The reason why Mr. Genda went to Zhukaku’s house again is probably not to set it on fire, but to find out that he sent the wrong key chain and wanted to recycle it… So after the fire broke out, I hurried to go to Wuchome……..”

Officer Bow Chief frowned, lit a cigarette, and said, “It’s very similar to the Genda I know…” In fact, when the fire first broke out, we also suspected Genta at the time, but I didn’t think that guy was someone who could set fires. ”

“Was it the first case of arson in Tozen Town?”

“Well, he was watching the lively crowd at the time, and he was talking to himself strangely while looking at the flames… Annoying Daddy…”

The bow leader let out a long breath of smoke under the gaze of everyone, and fell into memory.

“That guy’s father is a firefighter, and when he was in elementary school, he was killed by the fire in order to rescue people trapped in the fire, so we thought, maybe Genda set the fire because he missed his father, and he might fantasize that if there was a fire, his father would rush over…”

“Sure enough… Genda is not a murderer! ”

Hattori Heiji said.

“That’s because there really isn’t any evidence, and… He’s not the kind of person who would set fire to someone’s house, he’s not that kind of person. ”

Bow Chang looked tired, shook his head and got up and left the room,

“I’ll go to Genda again and ask.”

Shiraizumi and Hattori Heiji glanced at each other and left with Bow Commander.

Shiraizumi Yi and Hattori Heiji divided into two ways, Shiraizumi Yi went to ask Genda, Hattori Heiji went to Genda’s house to check the situation, and Shiraizumi Yi privately gave the key to Genda’s house to Hattori Heiji.

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

A policeman stood outside in distress and said to the bow chief: “He still can’t say why, just insists that another person set the fire himself.” ”

“Hmm.”

Officer Bow nodded and signaled the police to leave, looking through the glass at Genda, who was exhausted in the interrogation room.

“If you can’t find other clues, you can only send him for trial in the end…”

After a pause, Bow Chang sighed and turned to Quan Yi: “Officer Bai, do you know why I believe him?” ”

Quan Yi was also a little curious and guessed, “Is it because of Genda’s firefighter father?” ”

The bow chief neither denied nor nodded, but recalled,

“When I was investigating Genda, I once called him to the park and talked to him once, but after 30 minutes the guy didn’t say anything, just sat on the bench with a sad face, almost the same as now…”

“But when I left, I looked from a distance, but I saw him leave the bench, desperately looking for something in the surrounding grass, and after a while it rained he gave up, and when I saw his reassuring appearance, I understood that he was looking for the cigarette butt I smoked, which was the cause of the fire that killed his father…”

The bow chief silently extinguished the cigarette in his hand, his eyes earnest. I can’t imagine that a guy like him would go to someone else’s house and set it on fire, and I don’t want to think so…”

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

The death of his father may have become Xuantian’s heart knot, so he will be caught and used by the real murderer, so that those suspects, whether they are psychiatric police officers, feng shui masters, or fortune tellers, may mentally manipulate Xuantian.

“I also can’t fully guarantee solving the case….. But let me talk to him first. ”

Quan Yi nodded and walked into the interrogation room.

….. Tozen Town, Genda House.

When Izumi arrived at the door in the police car of the bow commander.

Hattori Heiji said with a smile: “I have already found the prisoner’s lighting method first, right?” ”

Shiraizumi looked at Hattori and nodded,

“So how the hell did you make an alibi, have you figured it out?”

Hattori did not continue to be proud, his eyes were shining: “We have checked the scene again, there are fragments of white woven light bulbs on the fire point, there are bands of brown scorch marks and black round marks on them, and the burnt place is left with ash after burning paper towels, the prisoner should wrap paper towels around the 100w light bulb, and then insert matches, once the surface temperature of the bulb is enough, the match will be automatically lit…”

“The surface temperature of the 100w bulb can reach 218 degrees, it is easy to light matches, the prisoner must have done something on the bulb in the warehouse beforehand, and then sprinkled oil on the floor, and put the red horse with the base ripped off by the window, the time of ignition can be adjusted by the amount of paper towels wrapped around the bulb…”

Hattori looked at the Genda family and smiled: “This is the prisoner’s automatic ignition device, and the most obvious evidence is that there is a shimmer of the white woven lamp in front of the red horse’s shadow printed on the curtain next door!” The next step is to find out how the prisoner manipulated Genda and the last evidence:…..”

“So it is.”

Bow Chang pondered,

“According to your statement, it seems that it can indeed ignite automatically, but the marks on the light bulb may also have formed by accident during the fire, and if this device is used, isn’t it possible for all three people?”

Bai Quanyi walked into the entrance, and at first glance was attracted by the shoe prints in the corridor, took out the shoes in the shoe cabinet in the entrance and tried them, and the shoe prints in Genda were about the same size.

“Genda lives alone in such a big house…”

“Well, he lived with his mother after his father died, and I heard that his mother also died last year.”

Bow Chang changed into slippers at the entrance and frowned at the shoe prints.

“These shoe prints are all Genda’s?”

“It’s the same as I thought.”

Uncle Maori followed Conan and took out dirt-covered socks and shirts with burnt marks from the trash can next to him,

“Bow chief, Genda said that when the sleepwalking disorder was serious, there was another one who set fire to himself, and his words may be true…”

“It’s too early to say that.”

Quanyi stood up and said,

“Maybe this is also the trick of the real murderer…”

Now the most critical alibi has been explained, which is automatic time-lapse ignition.

In addition, he has also asked the motives of several suspects in general, the feng shui master was threatened by the deceased Mrs. Ryoko with a cheating video, and the female soothsayer Quan Ten was able to get a large inheritance from his father who had just passed away after Ryoko’s death, and the will was to leave the inheritance to the person who inherited the surname of Zhukaku, so originally only Ryoko, who recruited a son-in-law, could get the inheritance….

As for the son-in-law, the spiritual police officer Zhu Jiaoming, although he will not get an inheritance because of his wife’s death, it is not without motive.

I heard that Zhukaku Akira has always wanted to tear down the house to build his own hospital, but Ryoko, who owns the house, does not agree, and Zhukaku Akira is likely to know about Ryoko’s cheating….

A typical case in the Conan world, the real murderer should be one of these 3 people. Quan Yi supported his chin with his hand, and the details before and after quickly flashed in his mind.

“Hey, Bai-kun.”

Hattori shouted as he looked through the shoe cabinet for a while,

“Come here!”

“What’s the problem?”

Bai Quanyi asked.

“Look, this is the receipt of the phone bill on the shoe cabinet, isn’t it strange that it costs so much 30,000 yuan a month? That guy from Genda doesn’t look like he calls often. ”

“Hmm.”

Bai Quanyi nodded.

“So.”

Hattori touched his chin and recalled,

“It’s the same with Ye’s fool, who often makes phone calls for a long time, why do women like to call so much?”

Quan Yi did not speak, but turned his attention to the vase placed in the shoe cabinet.

“Yes, there’s a bugging device in the vase! This vase seems to be the same ornament as the entrance of the Zhujiao family…”

“Is there anywhere else?”

Hattori Heiji looked surprised.

Then, Izumi stood with Officer Bow Commander and silently watched as Hattori rushed into the inside to dump the garbage can.

“Officer Bow Chief, first check the origin of this vase.”

Bai Quanyi said to Officer Bow Chief.

“Found it!”

Hattori shouted in the inside,

“On the shelf next to the trash can, there is also a small cushion under this crystal ball!”

“This is a lucky crystal ball sold by the female soothsayer in front of the building in front of the Cup Station.”

Bai Quanyi knows this crystal ball,

“Everyone says that the divination of that divination master is very accurate…”

“So it’s that soothsayer Quan Ten?”

Bow Commander asked.

“I’m afraid it’s not just her.”

Izumi leaned against the doorway, his gaze sweeping over the small crystal ball cushion that the two of Hattori had found.

“Whether it is a bugging device in a vase or a bugging device in a cushion, it is a battery, and the receiving range is not large, it should be recently arranged, and the murderer will not use such an unstable eavesdropping method.”

Hattori looked at Izumi stunnedly, “You mean…”

“Generally speaking, the phone bill is of course not as exaggerated as 30,000 yuan, especially for people like Gentian, who have no friends and are single, and the number of calls at home should be very small.”

Quan Yi said with a smile,

“Then, there is only one real reason, the prisoner is tapping with the help of the telephone line, so the phone is kept connected…”

Bow Chang frowned, “So this person is likely to be the real murderer, but in the end, I still don’t know which one…”

“I probably already know who it is.”

“If you don’t know… What the?! Already, you know?! ”

Bow Commander almost choked, pointed to a few bugs and looked at Quan Yi with wide eyes, an expression that you want me.

“So you know?!”

Hattori Heiji was surprised.

“Actually, it was weird from the beginning, wasn’t it?”

Bai Quanyi analyzed,

“Mrs. Ryoko said that she saw a suspicious person and asked the detective to investigate, but suddenly changed her words… Either it’s really her suspicious, or….. She already knew who that suspicious person was? ”

Hattori’s face changed slightly: “I am sure that her statement to us is false, but if you know the identity of a suspicious person…”

“Now revisit the motives of those three suspects.”

Izumi continued,

“The soothsayer Quan Ten has the motive to fight for the inheritance, the feng shui master Zeng I’s motive is to be threatened by Mrs. Ryoko with a cheating videotape, and then, Mrs. Ryoko’s husband, psychiatric police officer Zhu Kakuming’s motive is that the plan to demolish the house and build a hospital is rejected, and it may also be known that Mrs. Ryoko and Zeng I cheated on me…”

“There is nothing wrong with the motives of the other two, only Zhujiaoming’s has a little problem, that is, inheritance, Mrs. Ryoko’s father died, just at the moment of inheriting the inheritance, once Mrs. Ryoko is killed, Zhukaku Akira will not get anything 493, you can wait for the inheritance before starting, so his motives are actually very problematic, if he is the real murderer, it is only possible that there is some emergency”

Quan Yi paused, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: “For example, being caught by Mrs. Ryoko and being threatened…”

“Are you saying that the suspicious person that Mrs. Ryoko saw was Akira Zhukaku?”

The bow chief pulled down his face and snorted,

“Even if there is such a possibility, the other two cannot be ruled out, right? You are talking about the situation of Zhujiao Ming as the murderer, and if I want to say that the other two are more likely to be murderers. ”

“What if you add this?”

Izumi smiled, took out the small cushion as evidence, and pulled out a small plastic bag from the inside of the cushion under the gaze of the archer’s wide-eyed eyes.

“This is?”

The bow is long and puzzled.

“This is the message left by Mrs. Ryoko.”

Quan Yi said with a smile, his eyes shining.

Hattori grabbed the plastic bag and looked closely at the base of the “Red Rabbit Horse” encapsulated inside: “So it is so…”

“What’s so?”

The bow leader is still confused.

“Don’t you understand yet, Police?”

Hattori looked at the base and said excitedly,

“My husband once looked for the cheating tape used to threaten him at the house of Zhukaku, but Mrs. Ryoko secretly hid it beforehand as a guarantee… In the same way, if you threaten someone with this base, of course, Mrs. Ryoko will also hide, and that person probably didn’t expect that the base would be hidden in the cushion and taken out of the fire with Mrs. Ryoko, right? ”

“Mrs. Ryoko’s previous thought suspicious figure should be Zhukaku Akira experimenting with the ignition device to check the situation of the child next door, this base may be Mrs. Ryoko found that Zhukaku Akira was a suspicious person after checking the room, and found that her husband was a serial arsonist, and took it as evidence… Since it was Mrs. Ryoko who used to threaten the other party’s assurance, it means that there should be the fingerprints of the real murderer on it. ”

Izumi nodded in agreement with Hattori’s supplementary explanation, turned to the bow chief, and said: “Police Department, if you still want more evidence, you can test Zhukakuming, if you find an opportunity to reveal to them to carefully search here tomorrow, they will definitely come secretly, maybe in order to seize the time to completely eliminate the evidence, use the same mechanism to set fire again.”

The Bow Commander Police Department looked at Quan Yi with some depression: “I haven’t checked my fingerprints yet, how can you be so sure that the murderer is Zhujiao Ming?” The ignition device and your reasoning are just guesses…”

Quan Yi said with a smile: “The vase porcelain is placed here in the entrance, it should be the commodity that the feng shui master sold to Xuantian, and the lucky crystal, it should also be sold to Xuantian by the female soothsayer… They hide the bugging device should be to pretend to fool Gentian, make him believe in feng shui and divination, this is the old routine of this guy, the key is the bugging device installed in the phone, the bugging device installed on the phone must be secretly to Xuantian’s house, if it is the two of them, they will not leave the bugging device in their own goods…”

Quan Yi thought of the used Gentian again: “In short, whether it is true or not, it can be tested tonight, and it is not bad to arrest Zhujiaoming.” ”

“In short, I believe my judgment, he is the real murderer.”
