"You said you knew where the arsonist was next!"

Officer Twilight looked at the two children in front of him with some surprise.

Conan nodded and pulled out the map.

"You see, we left Ikebukuro in the first arson and Asakusa Bridge the second as they were, and then connected Tanbata in the third and Shimokitazawa in the fourth.

Finally, after connecting the fifth Yotsunoya and Shinagawa Ward. ”

As his line sketches fell, a word gradually emerged.

"Fire!"

Everyone, including Officer Sato, exclaimed.

Xiao Ai nodded, "That's right, the arsonist just wants to carve a huge fire character on the ground in Tokyo in order. ”

Officer Sato asked, "Well, is it possible to attack Officer Takagi......

Xiao Ai paused, and then said, "That's right, if someone witnesses him at the arson scene, and he is mistaken for an arsonist, it is not impossible for him to do so.

If someone really saw him set fire, then near the next arson site, I'm afraid there would be a dead body that fell to the ground like the fourth time! ”

23:45。

Yuki Shirakawa glanced at the time and smiled, "Fifteen minutes left and you'll be free!" ”

Shuji Shikano glanced at her, "Why are you so sure that I'm the murderer?" What can be seen from the case file of eighteen years ago? ”

"You may not have noticed that the way you hit on the baseball team is very peculiar. ”

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone, which showed a video of Shuji Kano's game when he was on the baseball team.

Normally, a baseball bat should be held next to the ear facing up, with the bat located five centimeters from the right ear.

However, Shuji Shikano holds the bat in a completely different position, he holds the bat in a backhand manner, resulting in the bat being held downwards despite being on the right side.

Yuki Shirakawa said with a smile, "In addition, I also got the anti-theft video camera footage of the murderer hitting the guard with a shotgun at that time.

He can't be said to have nothing to do with the way you hit, it's just the same! And I think this is probably the reason why Officer Justice Sato was able to recognize you so quickly! ”

The two of them fell silent as they watched the video feed play on their phones.

Shuji Shikano didn't speak, and Yuki Shirakawa wasn't in a hurry, after all, she had time.

And according to her observation, Shuji Shikano was almost unable to hold on, and the opportunity to let go, according to her guess, should be the point in time when he thought he could completely relax.

23:55。

Conan and the others suddenly discovered that Ayumi and the others, who were supposed to be in the car, had disappeared.

Just as they were in a hurry to search, Conan's detective badge sounded.

"Conan, Conan, did you hear that?"

Hearing that it was Ayumi's voice, Conan suddenly became angry, "What are you doing, you guys are fooling around there!" ”

On the other side, the three little ones who followed the arsonist to an alley were startled by Conan's loud voice, and the detective badge fell to the ground.

Ayumi picked up the badge and whispered, "Don't be so loud, okay, it's going to be heard by the gangsters!" ”

As they spoke, the three of them secretly looked at the arsonist not far away.

Mitsuhiko snatched the detective badge, "The guy Ayumi saw suddenly passed in front of the Nanaqu Tavern just now, and we will follow him."

Our current location is a warehouse street in Shinagawa City's 6th ward. ”

At this time, Yuan Tai suddenly exclaimed, "Look, that guy seems to be pouring something on the newspaper!" ”

Xiao Ai said: "Haven't the gangsters started arson yet? In this way, it was not him who attacked Officer Takagi. ”

Conan nodded, then looked at Officer Shiratori on the side, "Officer Shiratori, did Officer Takagi behave strangely before disappearing?" ”

Officer Shiratori fell into deep thought, "I remember he seemed to have looked up at the stop sign at Shinagawa Station. ”

Hearing his words, Conan showed a look of sudden realization, and hurriedly said, "Officer Sato, do you remember those two missed calls in the car at the time?"

Let's see if there's one of them called by Officer Takagi! ”

Officer Sato was a little confused, but he still took out his mobile phone, "Eh, there is indeed one from Officer Takagi, how did you know Conan?" ”

Conan said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it wasn't this arsonist who attacked Officer Takagi, but that Kano." ”

Hearing his words, Officer Sato was shocked, and said incredulously, "You mean ......"

Now it's Officer Twilight's turn to be a little confused, "What are you talking about?" ”

Conan said, "I think Officer Takagi probably found out the truth after seeing the romanization on the signboard.

Remember what Sister Haruna said before? カノ is exactly the romanization of Shikano.

I think Officer Takagi must have been attacked when he was trying to tell Officer Sato about you after discovering the truth, but he was met by Shuji Shikano, who happened to be in Shinagawa Ward. ”

Seeing that he didn't care about himself at all, Officer Twilight said helplessly: "How can there be a matter of Sister Hoshino here!" ”

Officer Sato picked up the mobile phone and was about to call Yuki Shirakawa.

Glancing at the time, it was already past zero o'clock, and Officer Sato's eyes darkened.

However, thinking that Officer Takagi might be in danger, he took a deep breath and prepared to call.

Knowing the location of the arsonist, Officer Shiratori had already taken Conan and Xiao Ai in the direction of Warehouse Street.

"Drip ......"

Listening to the ringtone in the phone, Officer Sato gradually tightened his grip on the phone.

00:06

"Hello?"

Looking at Shuji Shikano, who looked dejected in front of him and was about to be taken away by Officer Chiba, Yuki Shirakawa picked up the phone.

"Congratulations, Officer Sato, Shuji Kano has been arrested, I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect you to call first."

Officer Sato's anxious voice came, "Harina, Takagi may have been attacked by Shuji Kano, you ask where Officer Takagi is now." ”

Yuki Shirakawa was stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion, "Don't you know?" I've already given Officer Takagi's location to Xiao Ai. Now go to the warehouse street in Shinagawa City's 6th ward, and I'll go there and explain it to you. ”

With that, she hung up.

Looking at Officer Chiba in front of him, Yuki Shirakawa smiled, "Okay, Officer Chiba, you can take this Mr. Kano to the Metropolitan Police Department now, and I'll go meet Officer Twilight." ”

Officer Chiba nodded, "Miss Hoshino, we'll go back first, this time it's really thanks to you." ”

0:20。

"Hi Officer Takagi, are you alright!"

Looking at Takagi, who was being supported by Officer Sato in front of him, Yuki Shirakawa said hello.

Looking at his hand that was cuffed to the window, Yuki Shirakawa raised his eyebrows, "You are ......"

Looking at her gaze, Officer Takagi was a little embarrassed, "This ...... I didn't have the key, so I had to ask Officer Shiratori to help me remove the windows. ”

Glancing at the gun on his waist, Yuki Shirakawa didn't expose his careful thoughts.

Later, because Officer Sato had doubts in their hearts, Yuki Shirakawa explained what happened.

It turned out that in order to remind himself of the end of the prosecution period, Shuji Kano specially adjusted it to the same day as his fiftieth birthday before returning to China.

Coincidentally, however, due to the typhoon at that time, the plane scheduled to arrive at Narita Airport at 9 p.m. did not arrive until 12:40 a.m.

So the legal prosecution period will not end until 12 o'clock this evening.

As soon as twelve o'clock passed, thinking that the prosecution period had passed, Shuji Shikano, who was relaxed, bluntly admitted what happened back then, and all this was heard by Officer Chiba on the other end of the bugging.

After that, it was simple, Officer Chiba led the team to take Shuji Kano with him, and Shuji Kano also admitted to his attack on Officer Takagi because of the revelation of the matter.

Hearing this dramatic scene, everyone suddenly realized.

Officer Sato asked curiously, "Harina, how did you know about that plane?" ”

Yuki Shirakawa smiled and said, "Of course it's because of Norma." ”

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and handed it to everyone.

I saw that it was a contact person named Norma who sent something about Shuji Shikano.

In particular, the plane of that year is indicated.

Suddenly, Yuki Shirakawa remembered something, clapped his hands and said, "By the way, when Officer Justice Sato had an accident, it was not Officer Justice Sato who pushed Shuji Kano, but Officer Justice Sato pushed Shuji Kano away. ”

Then she touched her chin and said, "And according to my guess, Chou Silang should be what Officer Sato said at the time to go and turn himself in, but because he was seriously injured and his voice was intermittent, he was heard as Chou Silang." ”

Hearing this result, Officer Sato's expression was a little complicated.

However, she still asked, "But Haruna, you decided to investigate this case so confidently at that time, if Shuji Kano didn't say this himself in the end, what are you going to do?" ”

Yuki Shirakawa smiled: "Oh, this, I already prepared two sets of plans, and letting Shuji Shikano say it himself is just plan A, if it doesn't work, there is plan B to implement."

That is to let Officer Chiba lead a team to find the stolen money directly at his house.

After all, the Kano incident alone gave the police reason to suspect that he had something to do with this case, and it was normal to go to his house to investigate. ”
