After dinner, the three of them came to the hotel room of Yujinjian and held an emergency combat meeting.

These days, he traveled back and forth between Tokyo and Yokohama many times, visited and investigated everywhere, and cheekily consulted his acquaintances in the system, and hardly had any time except to sleep.

"Hey, after consulting with a few lawyer friends yesterday, they forced me to drink, and I didn't let me go until late at night, so I just woke up." Sunset scratched her curls and sighed tiredly:

"But thanks to them, I'm a little bit more eyebrow-raising."

"I'm obviously paying you your employment fee on a daily basis, but you actually swagger to drink." Eliza was a little disappointed and said with a straight face:

"You should have told us the information last night."

"Don't be so rigid, Miss Qinggong~" Xi Shenjian laughed and haha: "Drinking is to maintain connections, and this is also part of the investigation, otherwise how can they be willing to help me next time?" ”

"I think Mr. Xishen is right, so let's be a little more considerate of him." Kyushu Makoto understands Eliza's impatience, but he also feels that the Xishen key makes sense:

"Didn't he already investigate the clues? Let's hear what he has to say. ”

"Alright," Eliza, of course, was sure of the priorities, and was not prepared to worry too much, "Then report it, detective." ”

Yujin set up a blackboard in his room and pasted a few pieces of note paper and newspapers on it.

"A lawyer friend of mine said that there was an arson case in Yokohama four months ago, and the victim was a retired local gentleman who is also an art collector." The Sunset key tapped on a piece of note paper on the blackboard:

"The fire broke out when he was away and the fire burned down his villa and all the collectibles inside."

Kyushu Makoto stared at the blackboard for a long time and asked, "Since it is an arson case, has the murderer been caught?" ”

"That's where the suspicion of the case lies." Xishen Jian paused, and shook his head regretfully:

"After the police investigation, traces of gasoline and arson were found at the scene, so it was determined that it was not an accidental fire. However, neither the inside of the villa nor the surveillance cameras in the nearby streets captured any trace of the arsonist during the crime. ”

"The cameras installed in the villa cover almost all the dead spots, as well as a few security guards and servants." Sunset continued:

"It stands to reason that the possibility of setting an arson without anyone detecting it is almost zero."

"Is it possible that an insider committed the crime?" Kyushu Cheng asked with a wit.

"The police were suspicious at first, but after careful investigation, they did not find the suspect among the people inside the villa." Xishen Jian laughed expectedly, and continued:

"In short, this case is still unsolved, and the police have no idea how the criminals covered up and burned the entire house to ashes."

Neither the camera nor the people inside the villa saw the arsonist, and this information made Kyushu Makoto think.

If it had been a few months ago, Makoto Kyushu might have thought that the prisoner was a skilled master of crime, and he completed the crime as if by magic.

But now, this arsonist coincides with the leader of the Flying Heroes Gang, "Trickstar".

"Not to be discovered by anyone" and "stealth ability", and the time when the Flying Heroes appeared was also three or four months ago, everything seems to be connected.

"But what does this case have to do with the "Portrait of the Rat Monk"?" Eliza clasped her hands on her chest and glanced close to the blackboard.

"Actually, the rich gentleman happened to have a plate painting called "Little Monk of the Rat", which he got by accident two years ago, and it was also burned in that fire." Sunset opened a piece of notebook paper and explained:

However, there is a lot of controversy about the origin of "Little Monk Rat". It is said that the painting was originally a family heirloom of an innkeeper in Shoumin Town, but it was suddenly transferred to his name for unknown reasons. Soon after, the innkeeper died. ”

"Transferred the heirloom to that collector and died?" Jiuzhou Cheng's eyes widened, and he wondered: "There must be a problem here, right?" ”

"Who knows, maybe the innkeeper was old and thought that the painting should be handed over to someone who knew how to appreciate art, so he sold it to the collector?" Xishen shook his shoulders and speculated casually:

"The incident itself didn't cause much social repercussions, and soon no one cared."

"Since it's a family heirloom, why doesn't he pass it on to his children?" Makoto Kyushu was puzzled.

"The innkeeper is lonely, with no relatives and children, only an adopted son who is in high school, and I heard that he is an abandoned baby who was abandoned in a bubble bath shop." 西神键 says:

After the owner died, the hotel was transferred to the name of the adopted son. However, because his adopted son is not yet an underage and cannot operate a hotel according to the law, the hotel is temporarily closed. ”

"That's right" Makoto Kyushu pondered for a few seconds and asked, "What is his adopted son's name?" ”

"Jiroyoshi Hisai." Sunset replied:

He was in the third grade at Hengling High School, which is a school with a more rigorous academic style in the local area. And he is an honor student, and he also participates in the basketball club and works part-time. ”

As it gets late, the three of them decide to visit the innkeeper's adopted son at Shoumin Town.

This boy named "Jiroji Kui" does not fit the characteristics of the members of the Flying Heroes Gang at all, and it can be said that he can't beat the eight poles.

But there are no other clues at the moment, and they can only be dead horses as live horse doctors, and go over first to try their luck.

If there was no relationship between Jiroyoshi Kui and the Flying Heroes, they didn't plan to waste time on this mission and set off for Tokyo tomorrow.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Hisai at home?"

Arriving at an inn called "Hisai Ryokan", Yujin knocked on the door and raised her voice a little.

After a few moments, the security door was slowly opened open a crack.

The law and order in Shoumin Town is chaotic, and even the hotel has to install anti-theft doors and windows, otherwise it will not be a few days before homeless people and street gangsters will break in and steal everything inside.

It was a slender young boy who opened the door to them. He has slender hanging eyes, his slightly longer hair is all combed to the left, and his gaze is a little dull like a dead fish's eye.

"Is it Jiroji Kui?" Xishen asked politely again.

"Yes, I am." Jiroji Kui looked at the three of them in confusion: "Who are you?" ”

"We are members of the town self-government committee, and we just joined recently." The sunset key began to lie again, and his eyes were very natural.

"In order to get acquainted with the residents of the town, we are going door-to-door visits." Makoto Kyushu took out a bag of discounted chocolates he bought from a convenience store from his backpack and handed it to him pretendedly:

"This is a greeting gift, please keep it."

"Oooh, thank you!" Jiroji Kui hesitantly took the chocolate.

"Hisai-kun, how is your current living situation?" Taking advantage of the fact that the other party received the gift, Kyushu Cheng asked again:

"I heard that your adoptive father passed away, so it's hard for you to live alone, right?"

Hikui Jiroji was stunned for a moment, and replied politely: "It's okay, the old man has left a deposit, and I also have a part-time job, so I won't worry about it after graduating from high school." Thank you for your concern! ”

Obviously, he didn't want to talk about it too much, and it was very perfunctory.

"Then it's not too early, so let's take our leave." Makoto Kyushu smiled peacefully: "Good night, Hisai-kun." ”

After saying goodbye to the Kui family, the three went to the detention center again and asked to meet Sho Yonemura, the "gecko".

"You don't hear this speech like your leader." Makoto Kyushu put his phone on the table and played the conversation he had just recorded.

The leader of the Flying Heroes is a cautious man who always appears in a mask and hoodie, but he never seems to have tried to hide his voice.

So Kyushu Cheng secretly recorded his voice in the name of visiting, and asked the backbone members of the Flying Heroes to identify it.

If Yonemura Sho said that this voice was not like the leader, then Kyushu Makoto would be completely out of line. The rest of the Flying Gang will be left to the rest of the mess, and he has done his best.

After listening to the recording of the conversation, Yonemura Sho held his head in his hands and thought for a while, then nodded:

"This voice. Much like him. ”
