The fire truck arrived about twenty minutes later, and it took about ten minutes to put out the fire.

After the fire was extinguished, Takada Shinichi walked into the villa. Because Takada Shinichi suspected that someone among the people set the fire, everyone followed him and walked in to see what was going on inside.

When he came to the living room and looked at the living room that had been burned into disarray by the fire, Takada Shinichi said:"Look, are there any signs that the furniture here has been moved?"

Tomoko Hayasaka looked around and could vaguely tell. Looking at the position of the furniture, he couldn't help but said in surprise:"Yes, there are indeed signs of being moved."

"Hmm, that's true."Morimoto Yoshinobu nodded in agreement.

Miyazaki Chinatsu said:"If you say so, is it really one of us who did it?"As he said that, he turned around and looked at the others, wondering who it could be.

Because they had made an agreement with the firefighters before coming in, everyone came into the villa. The firefighters did not make a sound to chase people away, allowing everyone to Leave.

Takada Shinichi turned to the firefighter captain and said,"Excuse me, did you find anything else while putting out the fire, such as automatic ignition devices?"

"There is no such thing. The firefighter captain shook his head, then put his hand into his pocket and said,"But we did find this. This should be a birthday greeting from someone.""As he spoke, he took out two partially burned pieces of paper and handed them to Takada Shinichi.

One of the papers had the words Professor Takamura at the bottom. Seeing this, Miyazaki Chinatsu said:"This is the twelve o'clock letter from Professor Takamura. I was planning to tell Asami about the fax that came from that time, but Asami was asleep at that time."

"This is not the same paper."Asami Uchida suddenly said.

Tomoko Hayasaka said in confusion:"What do you mean?"

Takada Shinichi said:"The two fragments are not the same, which means they come from two pieces of paper. But when we went out, there was only one fax, and later someone sent another fax."

Miyazaki Chinatsu said strangely:"Could it be that Mr. Komura sent another one later?

Noguchi Shiba said:"Why did Mr. Takamura do this?""

Takada Shinichi walked to the fax machine, looked at the chair that had been burned to black, and asked aloud:"I want to ask, why is this chair burned so black?"

The fire captain heard this and replied:"Because the cake was placed on this chair at that time, and the fire was caused by the candles of the cake as expected. The candles burned to the bottom, and only the place where the chair was sitting was burned. Burnt.

Tomoko Hayasaka exclaimed:"How could it be possible? When I went out, I put out the candles.""

Takada Shinchi said:"This shows that someone lit the candle later. Morimoto

Yoshinobu said in confusion:"But we left at twelve o'clock. We were at the karaoke bar before three o'clock. At most, we only went to the bathroom and the store next to it. No one left for too long." of."

The fire captain said:"The fire should have started at 2:50. I asked people in nearby villas and they said they saw fireworks at this time, but they thought it was someone camping. Hearing this, Sawai Manabu said:"

If the fire started at that time, it couldn't have been us, because we were all at the karaoke bar at that time, and no one left for too long. Then we discovered the flames and rushed Back here. Asami

Uchida said to Shin Takada:"Takada, let's forget it. This is probably just an accident, and that's the end of it.""

Takada Shinichi immediately refused after hearing this:"No, that person almost killed you, Asami. I absolutely don't agree, so let's forget it."

"Takada!"

Asami Uchida was moved when she heard this, hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing more.

Shinichi Takada looked at everyone at this time and said:"Actually, I already have an idea. If I guessed correctly, the prisoner should have used a fax machine to come. igniting a fire"

"fax machine?"

Everyone looked at Takada Shinichi in confusion, but Conan had an idea in his mind and thought of how to use a fax machine to light a fire.

"Takada is really powerful. Did he really not think of anything in those previous cases?"

Conan admired Shinichi Takada's reasoning ability, because before Shinichi Takada said it, he never thought of it. As a result, he had doubts about the cases he had cracked before, and suspected that Shinichi Takada was not a criminal at that time. I don’t know. As for why Takada Shinichi didn’t say it, I don’t know.

Takada Shinichi said:"I lit the cake and put it on the chair, and then went to the store next to the karaoke OK to send a fax. The paper will ignite as it touches the candle.

Miyazaki Chinatsu said in disbelief:"Is this really possible?""

Noguchi Shiba said:"And this method is too simple. Who would use such a simple method to kill people?"

"I don't agree with this."

Takada Shinichi shook his head and said:"The simpler the method, the fewer steps are required, so there will be fewer traces left on the scene. Therefore, the simpler the killing method, the more likely it is to kill someone. is valid. The more sophisticated the killing method, once there is a slight mistake in one step, the flaw will be discovered by a shrewd detective, causing the plan to fail. Hearing this, Mao

Lilan said:"If that's the case, let's go to the shop owner next to the karaoke OK and ask. We'll know who sent the fax at that time.""

Sawai Manabu's face suddenly changed, because he knew that he could no longer hide it. Originally, he thought there would be no problem with the plan, but he didn't expect it to be solved so easily.

Uchida Asami said at this time:"Let's go out and talk, don't It's interfering with other people's work here."

Takada Shinichi took a deep look at Uchida Asami after hearing this. He did not refuse and walked outside with the others.

The group of people left the villa and came outside the villa.

At this time, Asami Uchida had no idea who the person who set the fire was. She knew it well, she could guess why the other party would do this, and she also knew how much impact it would have on the other party if the case was solved. She didn't want to harm the other party for the rest of his life because of this incident, so she I can't bear it.
