Conan: Another Famous Detective

Aipido Police Station, in a certain office.

The Gongchang Police Department placed a photo on his desk.

It was the salesman that Hanomiya Akira and his party saw during the day!

"According to interviews and confirmation from surrounding people, that salesman is indeed him." Gongchang Police Department said solemnly.

"Officer, what do you mean, you seem to have known him before?" Hattori Heiji asked.

Yunaga Police Department nodded: "Well, in fact, we have already investigated him after several consecutive arson cases occurred. His name is Genda Takatoku, and he runs an antique shop in Abedo."

"Why did the police focus on him?" Conan asked.

Yumaga Police Department replied: "He was among the crowd of onlookers at the first arson incident in Rizen Town. His expression was very panicked at that time, and he kept mumbling "Dad"."

"Is there such a thing?" Hattori Heiji asked in surprise.

"Well, after our investigation, it turned out that his father was once a firefighter. However, in a fire accident, in order to save those who had no time to escape, his father rushed into the scene resolutely and was unfortunately buried in the fire cave."

"I think he set the fire because he missed his father so much, right? He may have thought that as long as there was a fire, his father might appear again."

"Such a motive is not impossible." Hattori Heiji said thoughtfully.

"Officer, I brought what you asked for!" A police officer came over with a large evidence bag and placed the evidence bag on the table.

In the evidence bag, there are several red horse models, the style of which is the same as those found at the fire scene.

"These are the red horses found in several fires." Gongchang Police Department said.

Several people looked at these red horses.

Yu Gongming took out the red horse marked with the first fire and looked at it carefully.

"Huh? Why is this red horse the only one with a base?" Hattori Heiji asked in confusion.

Yu Gongming turned the base to the bottom side: "There seems to be a word on it...rabbit?"

"Wait a minute, red horse! There is also a rabbit? Could it be!?" Hattori Heiji's eyes widened slightly.

"Red Rabbit Horse." Yu Gongming said the term lightly.

"Look, there seems to be a foot next to the horse's belly!" Conan shouted.

Akira Hanomiya took a look and saw that there was indeed a protrusion similar to a human foot where Conan pointed. Perhaps because it had been burned by fire, the outline was not too obvious.

Yu Gongming raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that there was someone sitting on this red rabbit horse!"

"It's Guan Yu!" Conan and Hattori said almost in unison.

Yu Gongming nodded: "I think so too. Although one of the owners of Red Rabbit Horse was Lu Bu, Guan Yu is relatively more famous, and Guan Yu also has the meaning of blessing business prosperity."

"Speaking of which, Xuantian's antique shop does have this kind of jewelry that makes business prosperous. I'll call and ask..." Police Gongchang took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Xuantian's antique store.

After a while.

Police Chief Yunhang hung up the phone and said to Hatemiya Akihito: "Their store does have accessories of Guan Yu riding a red rabbit horse, but because of the unpopularity, Genda changed the accessories to lucky cats."

"Where is the Xuantian man now?" Yu Gongming asked.

Gongchang Police Department replied: "The clerk said Xuantian was too tired from selling everywhere today and has gone home."

"Then let's go to his house now!" Hattori Heiji said impatiently.

At this moment, Yu Gongming's cell phone suddenly rang.

…………

Yu Gongzhai, living room on the third floor.

Kazuha looked out the window with some worry: "Really! It's almost eleven o'clock, why haven't Heiji and the others come back yet?"

Meng Yu shrugged: "It's not like you don't know that once detectives like them get involved in a case, they will never stop if they don't solve it."

When He Ye heard the words, he suddenly sighed: "Even if we have to investigate a case, we should at least call to say that we are safe, right? From the time we separated until now, Brother Yu Gong has been the one calling back."

"According to Hattori's way of thinking, it is estimated that seeing Amin calling us means informing us of the situation, and he will naturally not make any more unnecessary moves." Mengyu analyzed.

Kazuya's expression became even more uncomfortable: "This does seem like something Heiji would do...but Mengyu, do you know Heiji so well?"

"I heard what A Ming and my brother said. They persuaded this guy to be good at everything, but in some aspects I really couldn't figure out whether he was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid." Meng Yu explained.

"Some aspects?" Heye's face suddenly turned red for some reason.

"Well! Actually, I feel that even though you have made it so obvious, he just can't understand it. Sometimes I wonder if he is deliberately not revealing it and wants to find a more romantic opportunity to express his love to you? "Xiao Lan also said.

"Eh? Confession? Really...really?" He Yeqiao's face turned redder, but her eyes gradually became filled with anxiety and expectation.

"Although I want to give you a positive answer, it may not be a good thing for you to have too high expectations, so I can only say... I cannot rule out this possibility." Mengyu replied.

Kazuha held her cheek with her right hand and said with a look of fascination: "It would be great if Heiji really thinks so! My requirements are not high, as long as I am half as romantic as you and Xiaolan!"

"You still have to have more confidence in Hattori! Maybe one day he will become enlightened like my brother?" Meng Yu said with a smile.

"I'm really looking forward to that day..." Heye murmured, his green-white fingers sliding unconsciously on the coffee table.

puff!

An unusual noise brought Kazuye back to her senses. She looked down and saw that it was her hand that accidentally lifted Xiaolan's handbag to the ground, and the contents of the handbag fell out.

"Ah! I'm sorry Xiaolan, I was distracted just now!" Heye apologized quickly while squatting down and starting to pack up.

"It's okay!" Xiaolan smiled nonchalantly and started to help clean up.

"Eh? Isn't this pendant given to us by the uncle we met during the day?" Xiaolan said, picking up a small pendant box.

He Ye had already put other things on the coffee table and looked over after hearing this: "Yes! That uncle seemed to own an antique shop. He even asked you where you lived. I thought he was here to strike up a conversation! "

"How is that possible! That uncle seems to be a very nice person." Xiaolan said with a smile.

"But what kind of ornament is this? How about we open it and take a look?" He Ye asked curiously.

"Yeah!" Xiaolan didn't refuse and started to open the box.

After a while, the pendant revealed its true face.

"It's Guan Yu!" He Ye said with eyes brightening.

The hanging decoration in front of me is in the style of Guan Yu riding a red rabbit horse. There is also a pedestal under the red rabbit.

"Xiaolan, can you show me that pendant?" Mengyu suddenly said in a serious tone.

"Okay." Although she was a little confused as to why Meng Yu was suddenly so serious, Xiaolan still handed over the pendant.

Meng Yu took it and looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked quickly to the study.
