Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Chapter 453 Like Ants Crawling

"Idiot! Now is not the time to go to the amusement park."

"I know! That's why I'm here! Let's solve the case quickly so we can all go to the theme park together! Stupid Heiji!"

"what?"

Xiaolan at the side came out to smooth things over:

"We also feel that something is wrong with this incident."

Conan comforted:

"It doesn't matter. Brother Xianhe will definitely be able to find the source, right? Brother Xianhe?"

'Yun Xianhe' who was named: "? Ah, yes."

It’s not a big problem, he has already called for support.

"Oh, everyone is out today."

Inspector Yuminaga, who was walking over from not far away, interrupted Hattori and Kazuha who were about to continue arguing.

Maori Kogoro scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly:

"Ah... good morning. By the way, has Xuantian confessed everything?"

"His answer was just 'I don't know'."

Sure enough, the uncle who turned himself in was obviously abnormal.

The group of people were about to go and question the only eyewitness who lived next door.

The robot standing outside the blockade started scanning but found no obvious clues.

You have to go to the fire site to find out.

"What I said is true! Because I saw it! When the theme song of Masked Swordsman started playing, a huge horse's shadow appeared on the curtains in the living room!"

The little boy's testimony was the same as it had been the night before.

Perhaps he felt that the adults in front of him did not trust him, and his tone was a little agitated.

But this cannot be blamed on Kogoro Mori and others.

After all, it is the testimony provided by a child, so the description may lack some details.

The parent did not witness the incident at the time, so he could not provide any clues.

Hattori suggested going to the room where the child was watching TV.

Inspector Yumio, who walked to the window first, said as he reached out to pull the curtains:

"In that case, the horse's shadow is on this curtain."

“So I said I couldn’t live in a place like this.”

"Huh? Hey! Who are you?!"

Everyone looked over as the curtains opened.

On the wall of this house,

A ghost wearing a white cloak with gold trim was squatting there.

In the room opposite him where the fire had occurred, a familiar figure was rummaging through something.

"Brother Xianhe?! When did you go there?!"

"Why are you here too?"

Conan and Hattori squeezed past Inspector Yuminaga who was standing there and ran out of the open French window, and saw the ghost and 'Yun Xianhe' at a glance.

The ghost squatting on the wall ignored them.

The green eyes behind the gauze carefully examined the structure of the house and said:

"The ratio of wood to stone is wrong, and there's gasoline and so many evil spirits. Once this thing is ignited, it will be like a barrel of explosives. Even a heavily armored guard will be burned to death."

Yun Xianhe, who was looking for clues according to the ghost's instructions at the scene, did not say a word.

The ghost squatting on the wall did not look back at Conan and the others, but rubbed his chin:

"The composition of those ashes cannot be analyzed? Is the analytical technology here so backward?"

Several people who heard this: "???"

Conan: "What are the ingredients of the ash?"

Hattori: "Behind?"

Inspector Gongchang: "Do you know this guy?"

Three people, three questions, but no one answered.

Yun Xianhe, who was wearing gloves and picking up a half-broken light bulb, sighed helplessly when he heard this:

"grown ups……"

The ghost curled his lips and pointed to the side with his baton in his hand:

"Here, since you asked me to come, don't be lazy. Really... I'm not good at this kind of thing."

Even though he is also called a genius, he doesn't have Yunyun's brain.

"Yes."

"Really can't use it?"

Yuebai's baton trembled slightly at the ghost's fingertips.

Yun Xianhe, who was scanning the scene, twitched his lips and quickly stopped the other party:

"Sir, there are only two days left. It will be done in two days!"

The ghost sighed when he heard this, but didn't take any action in the end.

Well, the note Yunyun gave me said it can’t be used, so let’s not use it.

However, this feeling of having power but nowhere to use it is like having ants crawling on your body.

After all, it is rare for a magician to see such a clean fire scene without even a trace of magic.

It's perfect for a "recovery" move.

But if you are not allowed to use it, it will be very uncomfortable.

Conan looked at the ghost and asked tentatively:

"Has Brother Ghost figured it out?"

"Hmm? What do you see?"

"The method used by the murderer!"

"Oh, I see. It's quite simple."

Everyone who heard this was stunned at the same time.

The ghost pointed at Yun Xianhe who was searching for something at the scene and said:

"He told me. The shadow of the horse was reflected on the window. The flame was flickering. It was so clear right after the fire started that it was not shaking. So the thing illuminated at that time must not be an ordinary fire. There are only a few possible fire-starting devices. The light bulb you used was the self-destructing type. I can guess it with a simple guess."

The results are pretty much the same.

Look, I have found a light bulb that looks strange.

These industrial items are really dangerous, no wonder they were eliminated after the world was restarted for the first time.

After listening to the ghost's analysis, Conan and Hattori looked at each other.

Sure enough, Xianhe’s friends are not simple either.

Maori Kogoro and others nearby were confused and obviously didn't understand.

Also, why do they say their light bulbs are the self-exploding type?

Seeing that Yun Xianhe had basically found all the evidence, the ghost squatting on the wall stood up and straightened his cloak:

"The rest shouldn't matter. I'm leaving."

"Thank you."

The ghost waved his hand, obviously not wanting to say anything more in front of outsiders.

At the moment, it seems that these ordinary people don’t know that the "brave man" in front of them is a fake. It may be a backup plan left by Yunyun.

Therefore, it would be better to wait until they are alone before giving any reprimands.

Without waiting for Conan and the others to say anything, the man on the wall jumped directly in the opposite direction of the yard and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Inspector Yumio narrowed his eyes at the direction where the ghost disappeared.

It seems that there is a very powerful guy around here.

But now is not the time to talk about that.

"Hey! How could you go to the scene alone?!"

'Yun Xianhe', who was holding several evidence bags in his hands, still had a smile on his face and did not seem to be afraid of the other party at all.

Hattori on the side chimed in:

"That's what I mean, Xianhe, why didn't you call me?"

Conan was about to speak to smooth things over: "..."

It still has to be you, Hattori.

Facing the faintly angry Inspector Gongchang, Yun Xianhe compromised by raising his hands in front of his chest and begged for mercy:

"My bad, but don't you want to see what I just found?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was instantly diverted and they began to study what the other party brought.

Conan and Hattori looked at each other and smiled with the same determination.

Delayed ignition device.

Now, the alibis of those three people are no longer valid.
