Shinagawa District.

The Nanakaku izakaya that Sato said was not far from Shinagawa Station, and after parking the car, he immediately ran into the store, but the store manager said that the four of them had already left.

Taking advantage of Sato's questioning time, Gao Cheng pulled Conan and said: "The arson case is handed over to me to investigate, Sato and Officer Takagi will ask you, if it is you, you should be able to solve the mystery of the old case eighteen years ago quickly, right?" ”

"You trust me," Conan twitched as he looked at the group of children left in the car, "I didn't take a good look at them last time I camped, and you can't let them have anything to do this time." ”

Gao Cheng looked at Ayumi in the car, and said with a headache: "There should be no problem, right?" ”

Returning to the car, Yuan Tai couldn't bear it for a while, grabbed Gao Cheng and said with concern: "Brother Chenghu, have you caught the bad guy?" ”

"No, those people have already gone back," Gao Cheng calmed down, "Let's also go and arrest the arsonist, there is no fire now, and the arsonist should not have succeeded." ”

"Brother Joto wants to take us along?" Ayumi stared at Gao Cheng with some unresponsiveness.

"yes, what's the problem?"

"We thought you'd let us stay in the car......"

“……”

Gao Cheng was speechless: Even if you say it, can you really stay in the car honestly?

"Follow me, but be obedient."

"Yes! We're not going to make trouble! Ayumi raised her small fists seriously.

"Let's go!"

Gao Cheng was puzzled and began to search with a few troubled children.

Gray Yuan followed behind, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his calm face, and he stepped forward and asked, "Great detective, where are you going to investigate now?" ”

"Judging from the previous arsons, the arsonist haunted the uninhabited alley near the station, and it shouldn't be too difficult to find if he was dressed the same," Gao Cheng looked at the map with some distress, "Let's look for the alleys first......

I think I can find it...... Tonight could be the best chance of all, if you miss it......

"Ahh Ayumi suddenly exclaimed, looking at the crowd on the street with a frightened face, "That person ......"

Gao Cheng stopped: "What's wrong?" ”

"That person is yesterday's weird uncle." Ayumi pointed fearfully at a long-haired man in the crowd.

Wearing a hat but no conspicuous coat, he walks down the street with his hands in his pockets like an ordinary person.

Gao Cheng's eyes tightened, and he stopped Ayumi and said, "You follow Xiao Ai, and then leave it to me to deal with." ”

Ayumi had tears in her eyes, and looked up at Gao Cheng with a blank eye: "But ......"

Gao Cheng's heart softened, and he had no choice but to turn his head and say: "I know, let's go together, but you can only follow quietly." ”

"Hmm!" Ayumi nodded again and again, and made a nervous closing gesture with Motota and Mitsuhiko.

The long-haired man disappeared at the end in a blink of an eye, and Gao Cheng didn't care about a few well-behaved children, so he hurriedly followed.

It is not certain whether the man was armed with a gun or not, but judging from the fourth incident, one knife is certain......

"Strange, where did you go? Why are there alleys everywhere......"

Shinagawa 6-chome, Gao Chenglu had a seizure, and he couldn't find his position when he turned a corner, and even the figure of the long-haired man was lost.

"Brother Joto, this way!" Ayumi crowded into an alley, beckoned to Gao Cheng again and again, and whispered, "That arsonist is inside, and he has already set fire to it!" ”

Gao Cheng looked across the alley, in front of an old wooden warehouse, the long-haired man lit a pile of newspapers, the flames were raging, and he jumped up to the dilapidated warehouse in the blink of an eye.

This guy is indeed an arsonist, right......

"You guys stay here and wait for the fire truck." Gao Cheng rolled the atlas in his hand into a cylinder and chased after the long-haired man without saying anything.

This time, Ayumi was very obedient, but he just watched the fire that kept jumping with concern.

"Doesn't it matter if Brother Joto is alone? Didn't you say that the gangsters had knives? ”

"The fire is getting bigger and bigger......"

After Ash Yuan made the fire alarm call, he silently stood behind and watched Gao Cheng chase after the arsonist.

"Don't worry, he knows it."

"Crackle!" The flames were full of heat, and there was a pungent smell of kerosene in the middle, and the long-haired man stopped, his face reflected in the firelight, and he looked back at Gao Cheng with a cruel smile.

"Very good, this grand carnival is just short of offerings."

The long-haired man stuck out his tongue and licked the blade of the dagger in his hand.

"I'll make you less miserable......"

"I'm sorry, I don't want to be in pain at all," Gao Cheng gripped the atlas paper tube and walked straight to the long-haired man, "It's going to hurt you......"

The long-haired man's face changed slightly: "You are a policeman?" ”

"It's not."

Gao Cheng stretched out a paper tube to cover the blade of the knife while the long-haired man stabbed the dagger, took the dagger with a slight shock, and then stepped forward and hit the long-haired man's neck with a backhand.

"Bang!"

"You ......" The long-haired man's eyes widened, and before he could react to what was going on, his body fell straight to the ground.

"That's it!" Gao Cheng squatted down and fumbled around the long-haired man's coat for a while, and soon found a jar of kerosene and matches.

"Great!" Ayumi and her entourage ran out of the alley excitedly, "Brother Joto is so powerful!" ”

Gao Cheng cleared his throat: "Hmph, then you still need to say ......"

"But this arsonist is so inferior, he can't even hold a knife," Yuan Tai looked at the long-haired man who passed out like a dead pig angrily, "I thought it was terrible, and I was worried in vain." ”

"Hey."

Gao Cheng is full of black lines: What is terrible? This guy set fire 6 times, and even killed someone, and just now he had a knife in his hand to kill me......

"Brother Joto," Mitsuhiko looked worriedly at the warehouse covered in flames, "This warehouse is okay, right?" The fire burned so big. ”

"There will be no problem," Shiratori said from the alley, "this place was expected to be demolished next week, there is nothing in it, and the firefighters will come to extinguish the fire soon." ”

"Officer Shiratori? How did you come here? ”

"Officer Sato told me, and someone called a fire truck, so I thought you were right."

Shiratori handcuffed the long-haired man, with some regret on his face.

"Now Officer Sato seems to be looking for the robber with Conan, really, let that kid Takagi take the lead again......"

"By the way, did Officer Takagi find it?" Gao Cheng asked with concern.

"I guess I was locked up by the robbers, right? Officer Sato said he would ask the robber for questioning. ”

At this time, the firefighters arrived at the scene and began to isolate the warehouse where the fire broke out to prevent the fire from expanding, and Shiratori picked up the long-haired man and said, "Okay, you guys can go back with me, thank you for catching the arsonist this time." ”

"It's nothing."

Ayumi happily followed Shiratori, only Gao Cheng suddenly paused and looked suspiciously at the warehouse engulfed by the flames.

"What's wrong?" Gray Plains stopped.

"Ah, it's nothing, you guys go back first."

Gao Cheng closed his eyes slightly, turned around and walked to the other side of the warehouse.

In the fierce flames, he faintly heard a sound of difficult breathing, as if someone was calling for help......

"Yes...... Damn ......" On the back wall of the warehouse, Takagi was handcuffed to a barbed window with one handcuff, and his head was covered in blood.

Seeing the rumbling of flames, Takagi hurriedly stood up: "You must get the handcuffs out of the way first......"

"Bang ——!" Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the entire wooden wall of the warehouse exploded under Takagi's stunned gaze, and the sawdust flew sideways, and only the iron windows connected to the handcuffs fell.

"Huh? Huh?! ”

Gao Mu stood a little slow down in the scattered wooden blocks, and looked at Gao Cheng face to face with Gao Cheng outside: "Cheng, Chenghu-kun? How did you end up here? ”

Gao Cheng's face froze, and he grabbed Dongye Lake and hid: "Why are you here?" ”
