Chapter 401: Letter from the Black Cat
Sawai's plan was perfect.
But Mao Lilan rushed out too fast, and when Sawai came back to his senses from the inhuman speed, he saw that Mao Lilan had jumped a few meters away with Uchida Asami in his arms, leaving him no chance to "take a hand".
Mao Lilan didn't notice the resentful gaze behind him.
Although she was not injured, someone carried a stretcher.
Mao Lilan was about to go up honestly, but when she turned around, she was stunned: "That ......" She couldn't remember her real name, so she had to shout with Suzuki Sonoko's name, "Where is Mr. Pani?" Didn't he come out? ”
"Pani?" The others were puzzled when they heard this unfamiliar name.
Conan and Suzuki Sonoko were stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "He was also in the villa just now!?" ”
Mao Lilan nodded: "I met him as soon as I arrived around the corner, and it was he who brought Sister Mamei out of the living room, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to run out so quickly......"
Speaking of which, Maolilan is very weak-hearted. The fire was so strong that she didn't have time to pay attention to the situation behind her just now, so she only glanced back at the start, and when she saw that Parney was following, she thought he had been following.
However, judging by the reaction of others now, Pani probably did not follow along.
Won't it ......
Mao Lilan's little face turned white: "I was holding someone at the time, and I must not be as fast as him...... Could it be because I'm in the way that he didn't have time to ......?"
“!” Sonoko Suzuki followed with tears in her eyes, and she ran quickly to the firefighters and asked them to step up the fire, and there might still be people in the house.
Conan comforted Maorilan, always feeling that things were not so simple.
He knew that the "Pani" in Suzuki's mouth was a black cat.
And if the black cat really wants to run, not to mention that there is only one Maolilan blocked in front, even if ten are blocked, leaving only one crack for the black cat, he may be able to find a vacancy to get out.
And although Maolilan is strong in force, she is a girl who is not suitable for manual work after all.
Since the black cat chose to hand over Uchida Asami to her instead of bringing someone out by himself, it means that he didn't plan to leave the villa in the first place, and there are other things to do.
Something else......
Conan first looked at the pile of police officers around him, remembered the black cat's rejection of the police, and suspected that he ran away from another exit to avoid the police.
But the door and corridor of the villa are in the middle of the house, and it is not easy to find any windows, and when Mao Lilan came out with Uchida Asami, the police had not yet come, so the black cat might as well come out with them first, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape, which is obviously safer.
So it should have nothing to do with the police, there are other reasons.
Thinking of this, Conan suddenly remembered that from the time he rushed to the fire, until now, he had never seen Shiraishi.
He was startled at first, suspecting that Shiraishi had also rushed in to save people, and the character of the neighbor could indeed do such a thing.
But if you think about it carefully, there were so many of them looking at the villa at that time, and if Shiraishi went in, he would definitely be seen.
And if Baishi wanted to go around to the side and go in through the window to rescue, he would definitely tell them and find someone to answer.
So Shiraishi should not be in the villa.
He's not in the yard either, that'......
Conan groaned for a moment and ran towards the vehicle they had come from.
He pulled the door first, and he didn't know who locked it. Conan leaned against the glass window covered with brown sun film, and looked inside, vaguely seeing a person sitting in the car.
Sitting in this kind of place at night is indeed hidden enough, and the black cat may not notice it...... Conan was a little anxious and slapped the window hard.
After two taps, he remembered that he should go to someone to get the car keys.
But before he could turn around, the door was opened from the inside.
Shiraishi woke up very well this time, he leaned on the car door, looking dazed: "What's wrong?" ”
Without waiting for Conan to answer, Shiraishi's gaze crossed him, and when he saw the burning villa, he suddenly came to his senses: "Is it really a fire here!?" Where is Uchida? ”
"It's okay, she was rescued just now." Conan spoke quickly, "But Ran said he saw a black cat in the house, and he probably thought it was ......"
In the middle of the sentence, Shiraishi's mobile phone rang.
Both of them were stunned at the same time, looking into his pockets.
Shiraishi got out of the car, stretched out his legs, took out his phone from his pants pocket, and opened the lid to check it.
As soon as he stood up straight, Conan couldn't see his phone screen.
The text message was sent by Shiraishi just now, and he usually doesn't save this mobile phone number, but only uses it when he fools Conan.
Shiraishi moved his finger at Conan's unattainable height, pretending to click on the text message, but actually changed the note to "110" for this number.
This is a lie that used to use text messages to deceive Conan and didn't want to expose the name of the vest, and Conan should not forget it.
Conan saw that his neighbor glanced at the content of the text message, his face gradually became solemn, and he showed him his mobile phone.
When looking at the lines of text, people tend to start from the top down. So is Conan.
His gaze fell on the sender column at the top, and when he saw that it was "110", he was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered the "prevent information leakage" trick that Shiraishi had taught him before, and realized that this text message was sent by a black cat.
…… There is still time to send text messages, it seems that the black cat is quite comfortable in the fire, or he has actually come out.
And the black cat shouldn't be looking for Baishi just now, otherwise he would have called directly.
Then why didn't he go through the front door?
Anyway, it's good that he didn't burn to death, Conan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the text message.
[Arson, the fire started next to the second window from the left in the living room, with charred shredded paper on the floor.]
The girl was lying in a place that was not easy to burn, close to the hallway, on her back, not like she had climbed over
PS: The arsonist could be that bespectacled dude
There is no basis, FYI]
The massive amount of information confused Conan's face.
He didn't care about the original purpose of the black cat for a while, but like a reasoning machine that had been pressed a switch, he quickly focused on this case.
Knowing that he had memorized all the details, Shiraishi put his phone back away.
Shiraishi artificially pushed the progress faster.
- Conan didn't make it to the fire this time, and many details have changed due to his own involvement.
Shiraishi didn't want to delay such a simple case for too long, the strange cameras at his own door had not been solved, and it was not clear who the person who installed the cameras was.
It's safer to stay in a café than to wander outside.
After Conan noted down the key position of the "second window from the left", he would definitely go there to observe, and it would not be difficult to notice the surveillance probe outside.
The surveillance is all angled, not head-down, shot at the pole that jacked it.
Therefore, the picture of the cat climbing the pole will not be recorded.
Shiraishi pretended to be shooting pigeons when he pushed the camera, just in case, to prevent other cameras from filming the cat's suspicious figure.
In short, the probability of cats appearing in the surveillance is not high, and it is not easy to be associated with black cats by detectives with too big brains who will not save them.
