Maori Detective Agency, the time is close to 11 o'clock, Xiaolan and Heye have already taken a shower and changed into pajamas to prepare for bed, and even Xiao Ai has a helpless face to put on Xiaolan's pajamas when she was a child.

"Right? As long as there is a case, that bastard will be endless, and he will forget everything......"

After brushing his teeth, he and Ye complained together in Xiaolan's room.

"Tomorrow I said that everyone would go to Tropical Paradise together, don't you want to come back today?"

"It's so late," Xiaolan looked out the window worriedly, "Seniors from the castle they run around with Conan every time......"

"But," He Ye sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and packed up his shopping bags, "That uncle has turned himself in, what else does he need to investigate?" ”

"I guess there's something going on......"

"I don't mind if he investigates the case, but," He Ye puffed out his face and picked up a T-shirt, "and they even bought him a T-shirt that looks very good......"

"Alright, alright," Xiaolan said with a funny smile, "I'll show him tomorrow." ”

Kazuha's face blushed slightly: "What did you buy for Kudo?" ”

"No, no, I already knitted a sweater for him last time, so this time I only bought something for my dad and Conan......"

"Really?"

"Really."

Xiao Ai slumped her eyelids and sat next to the frolicking two girls like a mascot, pausing to glance at the packaging hidden in the shopping bag next to her.

I don't know what's going on over there......

……

On the way out of the Metropolitan Police Department, perhaps because of the relationship between Officer Gong, even the uncle who has always been confused is rarely cautious.

"I don't know why Officer Gong believes that Gentian like this," Uncle Maori said in a deep voice, "This case is indeed too strange, and he turned himself in before he started investigating the prisoner on the other side......

"Don't you understand, uncle?" Hattori spoke, "It's too similar, successive events in some order, cowardly criminals are arrested without suspense, and there is only one incident in which someone is killed...... What is it? ”

"Agatha Christie's, ABC Killings, right?" Gao Cheng continued, "I happened to be watching the Detective Polo series recently, and this incident went from 1-chome to 4-chome arson and left a symbol of Akama, which makes people look like a series of arson cases, killing the real target for the fourth time...... Coupled with the surrender of the criminals who were thrown out, it is indeed very similar to the scam in it. ”

Hattori said unexpectedly: "You have a lot of time, I thought you were usually the same as your uncle......"

The Maori uncle who was driving the car trembled his eyelids and snorted, "I don't know what Agatha is...... How can a real case be exactly the same as Li? ”

"Uncle, you haven't heard of Polo, have you?"

"Of course I know," the uncle thought of the coffee shop downstairs of the office, "After such a toss, they are almost starving to death, Xiaolan and they should have prepared dinner, right?" ”

Gao Cheng ignored his uncle's muttering, and asked Hattori, "Except for Mr. Gentian, there are no other suspicious characters?" ”

"It's not," Hattori said, holding up his chin, "After Gentian, there are three more people who have entered the Zhujiao family, the feng shui master who cheated with Mrs. Zhujiao, the male owner of the Zhujiao family who looks very strange, and Mrs. Zhujiao's sister, who is a soothsayer who set up a stall in the building in front of the cup to the station, went to Mrs. Zhujiao to borrow money during the day and finally left with an ugly face......"

"They all have alibis?"

"Here's the problem, the fire started at the window where Akama was placed, and according to the children in the family, Akama's shadow was cast on the curtain at half past seven, which means that the fire started at half past seven......

Hattori pondered: "But the feng shui master and that Mr. Zhujiao went out to drink together at 7:20, and I heard that it was after the fire that someone nearby called to inform them before rushing back to the scene, as for the soothsayer's sister, she has also been setting up a stall, only Mr. Genda has no alibi......"

Gao Cheng silently hugged his arms and thought about how to find out the real murderer and help the uncle get rid of the crime.

The stupid guy who was used and turned himself in, the real murderer should know him well and have been in contact with him, right?

There should be clues to the investigation from this direction......

Thinking of the crying Uncle Wo and the odd attitude of Officer Gong, Gao Cheng shook his head secretly.

He's not a person who likes to meddle in things, after all, the case is already with Hattori and Conan, but this time I really want to help a bunch of uncles, but he has a good heart and is an honest man.

Moreover, this case is actually similar to that of Detective Polo, which makes him more and more interested......

"Knock knock!" Back at the Maori Detective Agency, the uncle couldn't wait to knock on Xiaolan's door.

"Xiaolan, let's get us something to eat, we're all starving to death......"

"Haven't you eaten yet?"

"We've all eaten up for supper......"

"Huh?" The uncle was stunned at the door, "Didn't you prepare 5 servings?" ”

"Because we're angry!"

"The fridge is also empty, I'll buy ...... tomorrow morning"

"Haha?" The uncle stiffened his neck and looked back at Gao Cheng, "There's no way, although it's past business hours, but I'd better ask the boss of Polo to do something......"

Gao Cheng coughed lightly: "I still have ingredients over there, uncle, can you cook?" ”

The uncle's beard curled: "Do you think I will?" ”

……

The next day, the trip to the tropical paradise that Kazuha was looking forward to failed to make the trip, so he had to follow him to the Zhujiao house, which was burned to ruins.

"It's terrible," Xiaolan looked at the scene of the fire with some fear, "Is it possible for people to be burned to death again?" ”

"That's right," He Ye pulled Xiaolan, not daring to approach the scene, "I don't know what that guy thinks, he came to such a terrible place......"

Hattori, who was walking behind, was speechless and said, "If you're afraid, don't come!" ”

He Ye said as a matter of course: "There is no way, I want to see you solve the incident as soon as possible, so that everyone can go to the tropical paradise together......"

"Why do you want to go to a tropical paradise at this time?"

"Strange, didn't the castle come over?"

"Huh?" Hattori looked left and right, and then noticed that Gao Cheng was not there.

Metropolitan Police Department.

Gao Cheng did not go to the scene of the fire first, but went to the police station in advance, planning to see Xuantian again.

The officer seemed to interrogate him for another night and didn't leave, but he still didn't get much out of it.

"Officer, is there still no clue?" Gao Cheng found the bow chief who rubbed his brows.

"It's Joto-kun," Gong Chang looked up, "According to your suggestion, we brought in the other three suspects for questioning in the morning, and the psychiatrist that Gentian found was the husband of the deceased Ryoko Zhujiao, and he prescribed some emotional tranquilizers to Gentian......

"There is also that feng shui master, Mr. Zeng, who also knows Xuantian and often meets in the antique market, and I heard that he recommended his college classmate Zhujiao to Xuantian."

"That feng shui master and Zhu Jiaoming are college classmates?" Gao Cheng feels more and more interesting, the relationship between several suspects does not seem to be simple, much more complicated than "ABC Murder".

"I dropped out of the medical university and switched to Feng Shui," Gong Chang explained, "Yesterday Gentian visited Zhujiao's house because he said, 'The houses in that area are auspicious, and going there can improve your fortune .......'"

"So I was suspicious, too, what about the soothsayer?"

"It's not clear yet, but the woman is just as suspicious."

The bow chief took out a small cushion in an evidence bag, which still had burn marks.

When she found Mrs. Ryoko's body, she was holding the mat tightly in her hand, and when she asked the three suspects this morning, only the soothsayer Gondo changed his face and went back in a panic...... As long as they have an alibi, no matter how suspicious they are......"

Gao Cheng took the evidence and looked at it.

In the words of the soothsayer, this kind of mat seems to be used to hold a crystal ball or something, and it is no wonder that the soothsayer will change his face.

But the deceased finally clung to this, did he want to say that the murderer was a soothsayer?

In any case, the most important thing now is the alibi, and it is a trick of time and space, listening to Hattori and Conan, the witness is the neighbor's child.

At half past seven, the shadow of the red horse fell on the curtains...... The only thing worth digging into is this testimony.

As long as you don't directly see someone setting a fire at 7:30, it means that there are other possibilities in between......
