Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

An hour later, Metropolitan Police Department.

The Office of the Chief of the Fire Investigation Team.

The archer was lying on the table in a chair, feeling weak and unable to move.

"What do you think you are fighting with Feichi?" Mori Kogoro said speechlessly, "It's just a snake. If you tell it about assaulting the police, it won't understand."

Gong Zhang also found himself having a brain twitch, and said with a dark face, "Hmph, I think it's very smart, as soon as I let go, it let go, and when I said 'yet', it didn't plan to attack again!"

He felt that the snake did it on purpose, deliberately biting him to force him to compromise!

Hattori Heiji half-moon eyes, why does he feel that there are many strange things in the police world.

For example, the squirrel-raising police officer Ling Xiaolu who is difficult to communicate with, and the fireman uncle who can compete with snakes for a long time...

Conan turned to look at Chi Feichi, "Brother Chi, how long will Police Officer Gong Chang last in this state?"

"I don't know, it depends on your physique." Chi Feichi said.

If Gong Zhang didn't get an injection, he couldn't do anything, so he should be paralyzed.

"Boom!"

There was a knock on the office door.

"Officer Bow!"

Gong Zhang, who leaned his face to the table, was silent for a moment, "Maoli, help me up."

"Ah, okay!" Mori Kogoro lifted the bowman up, let the bowman's overall center of gravity fall on the chair, and then bent the bowman's right hand so that his elbow fell on the table and his hand supported his head, "like this Is it okay?"

"Help me move the documents on the desk again." Chief Gong reminded.

Mori Kogoro understood, and moved the document near Yuzunaga's elbow.

"Come in!"

When the young policeman came in, he saw his boss sitting behind the desk, resting his head on one hand, and looking down at the documents on the table. Although he couldn't see his boss's expression clearly, there was an inexplicable sense of seriousness that made him unable to bear it. He stood up straight, "Officer Gongchang! Xuantian still can't explain the process of arson, only that he was sleepwalking."

"I see, let him rest for a while," Gong Zhang didn't raise his head, and couldn't raise his head, "It's late today, and I'll take him to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation tomorrow."

When the young policeman saw that the bow leader was calm and unmoving, he was immediately in awe, "Yes! Then I won't bother you!"

After the young policeman left, Kogoro Mori looked at the bow leader and said thoughtfully, "It's probably the same when I was sleeping and reasoning."

Conan laughed dryly, "Sleeping Kogoro" sometimes appeared in this posture, but the police officer Gong Zhang was speaking by himself anyway...

"Speaking of which, is that Uncle Xuantian really the murderer?" Hattori Heiji touched his chin and asked doubtfully, "It's really hard to believe that he would be an arsonist with his character."

Gongchang maintained the posture of looking at the information on the desktop with one hand propped on his head, and said, "Actually, we have suspected Xuantian long before, because in the first arson case in Lishan Town, he was standing among the spectators, watching Crying in the fire, muttering 'Daddy, Daddy' to himself..."

"Father?" Hattori Heiji frowned.

"His father was a firefighter," explained Gongchang. "When he was in elementary school, his father died trying to rescue people trapped in a sea of ​​fire."

Hattori Heiji was taken aback, "Then he set fire to..."

"Well, our police thought so too. Maybe he set the fire in memory of his father," Gong Chang said, "Looking at the fire, he probably had the illusion that whenever the fire ignited, his father Will be there quickly!"

"Nostalgia is the wrong word," Chi Feichi couldn't help correcting, "No one would miss his father with something that took his father's life."

Hattori Heiji, Conan, and Mori Kogoro choked, feeling that something was stuck in their throats, but they really didn't know what to say.

Staring at the upside-down document on the desktop, Archer sighed, "I don't think he will miss his father in this way. I asked him to meet in the park before, and he said something in half an hour. I didn’t say a word, when I told him I had something to say next time, got up and left, I saw him in the distance looking for something in the grass beside the bench, and after a while, it started to rain lightly, and he got up , Seeing his relieved face, I understood that he was looking for the leftover cigarette butts he had smoked before looking for me, which was also the cause of the fire that killed his father."

Hattori Heiji recalled, "Speaking of which, Uncle Xuantian also subconsciously helped Officer Yumachi stamp out the cigarette butts that fell on the ground before."

"I really can't imagine that he would set fire to someone else's house," Gong Zhang paused, "However, since he said that he set the fire by sleepwalking, let's wait for the results of his examination tomorrow."

Hattori Heiji felt uncomfortable, and looked at Chi Feichi, "Brother Feichi, you don't think that Uncle Xuantian is an arsonist, do you?"

Chi Feichi let out a 'hmm', "I've seen sleepwalking patients. During sleepwalking, the other party's attention is not concentrated, the reaction is slow, and the level of exercise is very poor. If they go out of the room and enter an unfamiliar environment, there will be certain dangers. Sexuality, such as falling and tripping, if it is not in the hospital, it may also fall from a building, fall into the water, or have a car accident during sleepwalking. Using an arson tool to start a fire is impossible at all costs.”

"For a person who was inattentive, poor in reaction and motor skills at that time, it was really difficult to run so far to set fire," Hattori Heiji frowned, "even if he subconsciously remembered when he was walking around during the day Terrain, when he sleepwalks to set fire, maybe there will be no obstacles in the daytime on the road..."

"Maybe he sleepwalks every night," Mori Kogoro guessed, "It's just that there were only three times before... no, it's four times now, and only these four times successfully set fire."

"It's very simple to verify." Chi Feichi raised his eyes, looked at Kogoro Mouri, and said calmly, "See if there are any unnatural bruises or scratches on his body."

Mori Kogoro, Hattori Heiji, and Conan suddenly changed their expressions.

"Maoli, help me go to the interrogation room," Gong Zhang immediately said in a solemn voice, "Let them check Xuantian for such injuries!"

"I'll go right away!" Mori Kogoro nodded solemnly, turned around and left in a hurry.

Half an hour later, Mori Kogoro came back with the results——

No!

Xuantian Longde didn't have any bruises or scars on his body.

Hattori Heiji smiled, "That's strange. After sleepwalking for such a long distance, his clothes were covered with mud, which means that he has fallen down, but he didn't have any bruises on his body, not even bruises."

"Someone stained Mr. Xuantian's clothes and left footprints in his room, making him mistakenly think that his somnambulism has relapsed?" Mori Kogoro touched his chin, "But why did you do that?"

"Don't you understand? Uncle?" Hattori Heiji smiled and said firmly, "The person who made Mr. Xuantian think that he was sleepwalking is probably the real murderer of this continuous arson case. He was charged with arson!"

Conan nodded, and every time there was a fire scene, there was a red horse sent by Xuantian.

If the coincidence is too much, then it is not a coincidence.

However, he seems to have seen or heard of this kind of situation...

Hattori Heiji also frowned and thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, he and Conan looked at each other, and they both spoke together.

"ABC Murder Incident!"

"The ABC murder incident?" Mori Kogoro was confused.

"A case in the famous Detective Poirot series by Agatha Christie," Chi Feichi explained to his blank-faced teacher, "kill those whose names have the same initials as their place of residence in ABC order, and Putting the ABC timetable next to the dead body makes people think that this is a serial killing, and the real target of the criminal is only the person who starts with the letter C. This is done in order to use the disorder of unplanned killing to cover up the planned killing. orderliness."

Mori Kogoro continued to be blank.

Unplanned...disorderly...behind orderly...

"That's right," Hattori Heiji said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were firm. "This time the arson was set in the order of 1-chome, 2-chome, and 3-chome. It is likely to cover up the murder of Mrs. Zhujiao who lived in 4-chome. The real purpose, and the cowardly Uncle Xuantian is exactly the same as the person in the novel who was controlled by a real criminal, mistakenly believed that he was a murderer, and was taken away by the police."

"If the arson is to cover up the purpose of murder, other people who are related to Mrs. Zhujiao are very suspicious," Conan said, "For example, Mr. Zhujiao, if he finds out that his wife is having an affair, he may kill him for being unfaithful to him. wife."

"There is also that Miss Quandou," Hattori Heiji looked at Chi Feichi, "Her reaction when she saw Brother Feichi was too strange, if she was downstairs in Brother Feichi's apartment before, it was to observe the arson site , Later, when I saw Brother Feichi at the door of my sister's house, I was worried that Brother Feichi had discovered her intentions and found her sister's house, so he was scared and ran away, which made sense."

"Hmm..." Conan always felt that it didn't look like it. At that time, Quandeng Shiko seemed to have only fear and no guilt, but Quandeng Shiko was indeed suspicious. To threaten him to divorce his wife, he may also use arson to achieve the purpose of killing..."

Chi Feichi silently watched the two of them analyze each sentence.

When a famous detective encounters a case, it's really crazy. Gong Chang, the person he met for the first time, is still there, so he doesn't hide his ability.

As Conan said, he also felt like he was being fooled, so he quickly smiled and said to Mori Kogoro, "Uncle, how well did I imitate your reasoning just now?"

"You're still far behind, kid!" Mori Kogoro looked arrogantly, and took out his phone to check the time, "It's already four o'clock in the morning, and it's too late to go to bed. Let's wait until tomorrow morning and go to the three people. Ask about the situation there!"

Hattori Heiji looked around, "Then let's do something to pass the time."

"I……"

As soon as Chi Feichi spoke, he was interrupted by Conan.

"Don't tell scary stories," Conan waved his arms, "I'm not sleepy at all!"

"Brother Feichi can tell horror stories?" Hattori Heiji became interested.

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Conan covered his ears.

Hattori Heiji suddenly laughed, "I said, work..."

Conan: "!"

Chi Feichi: "..."

The famous detective also has a teammate who is more prodigal.

"Ke... Nan..." Hattori Heiji forcibly turned his voice around, slowed down, rubbed Conan's head with a smile, "So you're still afraid of that?"

Conan Banyueyan, why does he feel that staying with Hattori is dangerous?
