After the preparations were all done, Luo Zihang continued to start his great business of brushing skills.

It's just that because there are more interesting things, and the progress of other skills except karate and ice skating is not much, Luo Zihang's motivation is not as high as before.

Just when he was a little bored with brushing his skills and was about to take a good look at the fish, he received a call from the fire department......

The villa, which was destined to be unkept, was finally destroyed by the designer of Yamanaka Shinichi.

"Mr. Sanzenin, meet again."

In front of a villa that was burned beyond recognition, Luo Zihang met the "male" heroines of Saotome Ranzi and Tendo Akane.

The reason why the two of them are here is simple...... The fire was the first to be discovered.

"Long time no see," Luo Zihang nodded and said, "Thank you two for your help...... Unfortunately, the house was not saved. ”

I don't know how much gasoline this guy Yamanaka spilled, anyway, the fire brigade couldn't save him.

I have to say that this kind of paranoia is really ruthless when it comes to it.

"Mr. Sanzenin, can I ask you a few questions?" After a simple greeting, Saotome Ranko immediately took out a small notebook and approached him to ask.

"Sorry, can you make another appointment?" Luo Zihang pointed to the villa behind him that was basically only a pile of charcoal and said: "I still have to discuss the issue of compensation with the insurance company first, if you have anything you want to ask, let's talk about it in the afternoon." ”

Of course, this is just an excuse for Luo Zihang, after all, it is impossible for him to bring those materials with him, and this place is not suitable for the protagonist to "uncover the truth of the world".

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Saotome Ranzi's face change, and while looking at himself vigilantly, he stepped forward half a step forward and used his body to block Tendo Akane next to him.

Luo Zihang: ???

Although what he just said is just an excuse, it is also a very reasonable approach, what is the matter with this protagonist? You can't think that because of these two sentences, you can't feel that I'm a self-directed murderer, right?

With the family background of the 3,000 Yuan family, is it necessary to play such a low-level method as deception?

Luo Zihang, who didn't have much "consciousness" about the reputation of the Three Thousand Yuan Emperor, completely wanted to divert from the direction of Saotome Chaozi's vigilance.

Just when Luo Zihang was still thinking about how to deal with the other party, Saotome Ranzi put away the small notebook, then took out his mobile phone and said, "Okay, I'll contact you in the afternoon, let's add an email address." ”

Just like Japan in the previous life, people in Wano Country prefer to contact by email rather than by text.

"Mess?" Tian Dao Qian quietly tugged at the hem of her clothes, and whispered with a hesitant expression.

However, although her movements were hidden, she was still seen by Luo Zihang.

“……”

If you don't understand what's going on now, then Luo Zihang is too stupid.

He still thought about whether he should argue for himself, but when he thought of the young ladies who were learning biology with him, he felt that there was no need for that......

So he didn't bother to say anything more, and after adding Saotome Ranko's mailbox, he went to find someone from the insurance company.

……

It was soon afternoon, and Luo Zihang asked Saotome to go to his other house......

Although doing so may make the other party's misunderstanding deeper, if he is outside, he is worried that he will encounter another murder or something, anyway, he has no interest in this "male protagonist", even if the other party misunderstands, it doesn't matter.

Just as Luo Zihang guessed, Saotome Ranzi behaved extremely cautiously after entering the door, and her hand had to touch her watch from time to time......

Although there is no "sleeping heavenly morning cloud" here, anesthesia watches still appear.

In fact, whether it is Dr. Tsuchiya or Dr. Asasa, the original intention was to let the protagonist use this watch to deal with criminals, but in the hands of Conan, this prop was almost all used on his old father-in-law.

Seeing the cautious appearance of the chaotic son, Luo Zihang was a little speechless......

Since you're so worried about what I'm going to do to you, why don't you bring Tendo Akane with you? You can't fight a wretched horse.

"Tea? Coffee? Too lazy to care about the other party's worries, Luo Zihang opened the refrigerator, took out two cans of happy water, and put one can in front of the mess, "No matter what you want to drink, I only have Coke here." ”

The corners of Saotome Ranzi's mouth twitched twice, and she began to wonder if the Emperor of the Three Thousand Courtyards in front of her was really a playboy as Jiuneng Xiaotaidao said.

However, out of caution, she did not touch the can of Coke, but took out her small notebook again and began to inquire about the arson case in the morning.

"Mr. Sanzenin, do you have any suspicions about this morning's fire?"

"Yes." Luo Zihang opened the Coke, poured a big sip, and said lightly: "To be exact, I already know who the arsonist is." ”

"What?!" Ranzi stood up abruptly and asked excitedly, "Please tell me that person's name!" You may not know it, but he ......"

"It's a serial arsonist, right?" Luo Zihang slowly took the chaotic words, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "Actually, it was precisely because of a little investigation of the previous arson cases that I was able to determine who that person was." ”

I have to say that it is indeed quite cool to use prescience to pretend to be forced in front of the protagonist.

However, Luo Zihang didn't do this all to pretend, but wanted to establish a smart image in front of the protagonist first, so that he would be more convincing when revealing the truth of the world to her in the future.

"Who is he? How did you deduce that? ”

Saotome stared at Luo Zihang indiscriminately, she wanted to know who the criminal was, but she was also a little unwilling that her reasoning could not compare to a rich second generation who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

"Do you know what these arson cases have in common?"

I don't know if it was influenced by detective dramas, Luo Zihang sold Guanzi unhurriedly.

And as a detective, the mess also happened to eat this set, she sat back in her seat, held her chin and said seriously: "Common ground...... Yamanaka Shinichi is right? I also noticed today, that villa of yours, I once saw a picture in the exhibition room of Shinichi Yamanaka. ”

Luo Zihang nodded first, and then shook his head: "Yes, but not entirely, to be exact, it was not the work of Shinichi Yamanaka that was burned, but the work of Nobuhiko Yamanaka." ”

"Nobuhiko Yamanaka? Isn't that the name of Shinichi Yamanaka before? Chaos didn't react at first, showing a puzzled expression, but soon she thought of something, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "You mean...... He is the murderer?!! ”

"Yes," Luo Zihang nodded calmly, "Paranoid crimes, this is actually not a very unusual thing. ”

"What about the evidence?" After calming down, the mess continued to ask.

Although a small part of it is that she is not convinced by Luo Zihang's reasoning, but more of it is the principle of being a detective - she needs tangible evidence to prove that the arsonist is Yamanaka Shinichi......

Even if she actually approved of Luo Zihang's speculation in her heart, she also felt that it was very likely that Shenyi Yamanaka was a criminal.

"No," Luo Zihang spread his hands and said confidently: "I didn't plan to trouble him, why should I collect evidence." ”

"W-What?" Ranzi was stunned for a while before frowning and asking, "Why?" Don't you want to arrest the man who burned down your house? Although the villa was designed by Shinichi Yamanaka, the ownership is yours. ”

"Because...... It's meaningless......" Luo Zihang sighed, his acting skills were fully opened, and he put on a look of seeing through the red dust.

Then, he looked at Saotome Ranko with an extremely complicated look, which made her even more inexplicable, who was already confused.

"Meaningless? How could it not make sense? ”

As a detective, the chaotic son obviously can't understand Luo Zihang's strange thoughts, for her, arresting criminals and maintaining fairness and justice is the greatest significance.

However, Luo Zihang did not answer her question directly, but asked rhetorically: "I don't know Miss Saotome, do you remember what happened last year's Christmas and this year's Valentine's Day?" ”

Although he wondered why the other party asked such a digressive question, Ranzi still recalled it seriously and replied, "Last Christmas...... Xiaoqian and Uncle Zaoyun and I were invited by a client to attend an event held by their company, but then there was a murder, and we left after solving the case, and then ...... in Chinatown."

Ranzi's memory is still very good, she simply retold all the cases she had experienced in the past two days, and sighed there when she was finished: "If you hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have found out that I had experienced so many things in those two days." ”

Luo Zihang: "...... I think you're missing something and haven't noticed. ”

As a detective, the most unbearable thing is for others to question his observation, so Ranzi immediately recalled it carefully several times before he swore and said, "Impossible! I'm sure I didn't miss anything! ”

So Luo Zihang continued to guide: "Then do you remember Christmas Day, what time did you go out?" ”

"At half past eight, Uncle Zaoyun was watching the performance of the female elite girl team at that time, and I remember it very clearly."

"So, what time did you arrive at the Nine Talents Gem Exhibition Hall?"

"Five twenty-three!" Ranzi replied confidently, confident in her memory, "I happened to look at my watch at the time, and there can be no mistake." ”

Luo Zihang smiled and said, "Then may I ask, drive from the Tiandao Detective Agency to the hotel where you participated in the event, after solving the case, go to Chinatown for lunch, and then solve the case, and then go shopping in Fenglin Commercial Street to subdue the robbers by the way, and then go to the gem exhibition hall of Jiunengjia...... Even if you miraculously encounter no traffic jams at Christmas, nine hours, is it enough? ”

Saotome was stunned for a moment, then frowned tightly.

"And on Valentine's Day," Luo Zihang didn't wait for her to understand, and continued, "You also encountered a snowstorm at the ski resort in Hokkaido in the morning, and returned to Tokyo in the afternoon...... Not to mention whether the plane can take off on the day of the weather, just waiting for rescue and taking notes from the police, you will not be able to come back during the day, at least you will have to wait until the evening to get on the plane. ”

"You...... What exactly are you trying to say? Saotome asked with a pale face and trembling lips.

After Luo Zihang's reminder, she realized that the things she had experienced were very unreal from the perspective of time and logic, but she had indeed experienced those things, and it was impossible for her to remember them wrongly.

Luo Zihang didn't answer immediately, but walked to the cabinet on the side, took out a document, and put it in front of Saotome Ranzi.

"Actually, there are many more cases like this, I just investigated a little, and I found that you and Tiandao Sakumo seem to have a doppelganger technique, and they can appear at different crime scenes at the same time...... I used my connections to retrieve several files from the police department, and there were several cases in which you appeared at the same time...... At least theoretically, there would be overlap. ”

Ranzi looked at the document in front of him and stammered, "It's also possible...... It's also possible that they wrote it incorrectly, right! They must have written it wrong! ”

According to Luo Zihang's investigation and her own analysis, her memory or something else was indeed wrong, but Saotome Ranzi refused or dared not admit it.

Faced with Saotome Ranzi's feeble rebuttal, Luo Zihang sneered, and then continued: "Do you know why I found this? ”

Even though her brain is very confused now, Saotome Ranzi still can't hold back her curiosity and casts an inquiring glance at Luo Zihang.

"In a long ...... Or maybe only a few months ago, I realized that something was wrong with my memory. Luo Zihang tapped his temples with his hand and began his flickering: "I suddenly found that I actually have two memories of certain days, and the time experienced is not continuous, but often the day before is still summer, and the next day becomes winter, and the same date will be repeated from time to time." ”

"At first, I thought I had a mental problem, but after seeing several doctors, it didn't work, and even when I woke up one day, the time went back to before I went to the doctor, and the previous treatment process was completely eliminated."

"In desperation, I began to think of other methods, trying to find the cause of this situation, and then ......" Luo Zihang crossed his ten fingers with his hands under his nose, posed as Ikari Gendu, and looked at Saotome Ranzi with great courage, "Then, I found out that you and Tiandao Zakumo, two beings who are as abnormal as me." ”

"To be exact...... Luo Zihang leaned forward slightly, "All the anomalies come from you, Saotome Ranko...... No, I should call you...... Saotome is right. ”

Saotome Ranko: "!! ”

The reason why Japan is used to using email is because they have a lot of mobile phone operators, and there is no SMS service between several operators, so either the cost of sending SMS is relatively high, or they simply can't even send SMS.

Even though line has become popular in Japan, there are still many people who still retain the habit of using e-mail, and Japanese people are very particular about the sense of distance, and people who are not too familiar with it don't seem to add line.

In terms of familiarity, it is probably a progression of email, line, and phone number.
