Chapter 826 Mori, Help Me Up
An hour later, the Metropolitan Police Department.
Fire Investigation Team Leader's Office.
Officer Yumichou was slumped in his Chair, sprawled across the Desk, completely limp and unable to move.
"Honestly, why are you arguing with Hassashi?" Mori Kogoro said speechlessly, "It's just a Snake, it won't understand if you tell it about assaulting a Police Officer."
Officer Yumichou also realized he had been stupid, and said with a dark face, "Hmph, I think it's quite clever. As soon as I loosened my mouth, it also loosened its mouth. When I said 'still', it didn't intend to Attack again!"
He felt that this Snake was doing it on purpose, intentionally using biting him to force him to compromise!
Hattori Heiji gave a Half-Moon Eyes look. Why did he feel there were so many oddballs in the Police world?
For example, Police Officer Ayanokoji, who raises Squirrels and is difficult to communicate with, and for example, this Fire Police Uncle in front of him who could argue with a Snake for half a day...
Conan turned his Head to Look at Chi Feichei, "Brother Chi, how long will Officer Yumichou's State last?"
"Don't Know, depends on Physique," Chi Feichei Said.
If Officer Yumichou doesn't get an injection, there's nothing he can do, let him be paralyzed.
*Knock knock!*
The Office Door was knocked on.
"Officer Yumichou!"
Officer Yumichou, with his face pressed against the Desktop, was silent for a moment, "Mori, Help Me Up."
"Ah, Okay!" Mori Kogoro helped Officer Yumichou up, letting Officer Yumichou's overall center of gravity rest on the Chair, and then bent Officer Yumichou's Right Hand, letting his elbow rest on the Desktop and his Hand support his Head, "Is this alright?"
"Please also help me move the Documents on the Table," Officer Yumichou reminded.
Mori Kogoro Understood and moved the Documents near Officer Yumichou's elbow.
"Come in!"
When the Young Police Officer came in, he saw his Superior sitting behind the Desk, supporting his Head with one Hand and looking down at the Documents on the Table. Although he couldn't see his Superior's expression clearly, there was a kind of inexplicable seriousness that made him stand up straight involuntarily, "Officer Yumichou! Xuanda still can't explain the Process of Arson, only saying that he was Sleepwalking."
"I Know, let him Rest for a while," Officer Yumichou didn't raise his Head, nor could he raise his Head, "It's late today, take him to the Psychiatry Department of the Hospital for an assessment tomorrow."
Seeing Officer Yumichou calm and still, the Young Police Officer immediately became respectful, "Yes! Then I won't disturb you!"
After the Young Police Officer left, Mori Kogoro, who was standing Aside, sized up Officer Yumichou, and said thoughtfully, "When I'm Sleeping Kogoro and doing Reasoning, it's probably like this too."
Conan chuckled dryly. 'Sleeping Kogoro' sometimes does appear in this Posture, but at least Officer Yumichou is speaking for himself...
"Speaking of which, could that Uncle Genda really be the Culprit?" Hattori Heiji touched his chin and said doubtfully, "With his Personality, it's really hard to believe he would be an Arsonist."
Officer Yumichou maintained the Posture of supporting his Head with one Hand and looking at the Data on the Desktop, and Spoke Out, "Actually, we suspected Xuanda before, because in the first Arson Case in Rizen Town, he was standing in the Crowd watching the excitement, while watching the Fire and shedding tears, he muttered to himself 'Father, Father'..."
"Father?" Hattori Heiji frowned.
"His Father was a firefighter," Officer Yumichou explained, "When he was in Elementary School, his Father died in order to Rescue people trapped in the Fire Sea."
Hattori Heiji was Be Stunned, "Then could it be that he set Fire in order to..."
"Uh-huh, We Police also thought so, perhaps he set Fire to commemorate his Father," Officer Yumichou Said, "Looking at the Fire, he probably has an Illusion, feeling that whenever a Fire starts, his Father will rush over quickly!"
"The word 'commemorate' is Wrong," Chi Feichei couldn't help but correct, "No one would use the Things that took their Father's Life to commemorate their Father."
Hattori Heiji, Conan, and Mori Kogoro choked, feeling like Words were stuck in their throats, but they really didn't Know what to Say.
Officer Yumichou Stared at the Documents with the Text facing down on the Desktop, and sighed, "I also Don't Think he would use this Method to commemorate his Father. I met him in the Park once before. He didn't Say a Sentence for half an Hour. When I told him to Say whatever he wanted to Say next time and Got Up to leave, I saw him from a distance desperately looking for something in the Grass next to the Bench. After a while, it started to Rain lightly, and he Got Up. Looking at his relieved Face, I Understood that he was looking for the Cigarette Butt I had smoked before, which was the Reason for the Fire that killed his Father."
Hattori Heiji recalled and Said, "Speaking of which, Uncle Genda also Subconsciously helped Officer Yumichou step on the Cigarette Butt that fell on the Ground before."
"I really can't imagine him setting Fire at other Households' Homes," Officer Yumichou paused, "But, since he Said that it was Fire set while Sleepwalking, then let's wait for the results of his Inspection tomorrow before Say So."
Hattori Heiji felt uneasy in his Heart and Looked Towards Chi Feichei, "Brother Hichiji, you also Don't Think that Uncle Genda is an Arsonist, right?"
Chi Feichei 'Uh-huh'ed, "I've seen patients with Sleepwalking. When Sleepwalking, the other party's Attention is not focused, Reaction is slow, and Level of Exercise is very poor. If they Go Out of the Room to an unfamiliar Environment, there will also be a certain Danger Level, such as falling, being tripped. If it's not in the Hospital, they may also fall from a building, fall into Water, or have a Car Accident during Sleepwalking. It's Unlikely to Think about how Xuanda can Sleepwalk all the way from Beihu Town and safely reach Rizen and other Arson Locations, and still use Arson Tools to set Fire."
"For a person who is not focused, has slow Reaction, and poor Ability of Exercise at that Time, it is indeed difficult to run so far to commit Arson," Hattori Heiji frowned, "Even if he Subconsciously remembered the Terrain when he was wandering around in the Vicinity during the Day, when he Sleepwalks to commit Arson, there may be obstacles on the Road that were not there during the Day..."
"Maybe he Sleepwalks every Night," Mori Kogoro Speculation Said, "But only the previous three... no, now it's four times, only these four times were successful Arson."
"It's very simple to verify," Chi Feichei raised his Eyes, Look Towards Mori Kogoro, and said in a calm Tone, "See if there are unnatural bruises or Scratches on his body."
Mori Kogoro, Hattori Heiji, and Conan's faces suddenly changed.
"Mori, help me Go To the Interrogation Room," Officer Yumichou also immediately said seriously, "Let them Inspect Xuanda's body for this kind of Injury!"
"I'll Go right away!" Mori Kogoro nodded seriously, and hurriedly Turn Around and Go Out the Door.
Half an Hour later, Mori Kogoro brought back the results -
None!
There was not a single bruise or Wound on Xuanda Ryutoku's body.
A smile appeared on the corner of Hattori Heiji's mouth, "Then that's Weird. Sleepwalking such a long distance, his Clothes are stained with Soil, indicating that he had fallen, but there is not a single bruise on his body, not even a bruise."
"Someone dirtied Mr. Genda's Clothes and left Footprint in his Room, making him mistakenly believe that his Sleepwalking had relapsed?" Mori Kogoro touched his chin, "But Why do this?"
"Don't you Understand yet? Uncle?" Hattori Heiji smiled and said with certainty, "The person who made Mr. Genda mistakenly believe that he was Sleepwalking is very likely the Real Culprit of this series of Arson Cases, just to make Mr. Genda take the Criminal Charge of Arson for him!"
Conan Nodded. Every Fire Scene had a Red Horse (toy) sent by Xuanda.
Too many coincidences, then it's not a coincidence.
But This Situation, he Seemingly has seen or heard of it somewhere...
Hattori Heiji also frowned and thought for a while, his Eyes suddenly lit up, and he exchanged a Glance with Conan, and Spoke Out in unison.
"ABC Murder Case!"
"ABC Murder Case?" Mori Kogoro was Stunned.
"A Case in the Poirot series by the Famous Detective Agatha Christie," Chi Feichei explained to his own blank-faced Teacher, "Killing those whose Names and place names of residence have the same starting Letter in ABC order, and placing an ABC Timetable next to the Corpse, making people think this is a serial Murder Case, but the Culprit's Real Goal is only to kill people whose Names start with the Letter C. Doing this is to use the disorder of unplanned Murder to Cover-up the order of planned Murder."
Mori Kogoro continued to have a blank Face.
Unplanned... disorder... Cover-up order...
"Correct," a smile appeared on the corner of Hattori Heiji's mouth, and he said with a firm Gaze, "This Arson Case, setting Fire in the order of 1-Chome, 2-Chome, and 3-chome, is very likely to Cover-up the Real Purpose of Murdering Mrs. Zhujiao (Family Name) who lives in 4-chome. Moreover, the cowardly Uncle Genda is completely the same as the person in the Novel who was controlled by the Real Criminal, mistakenly thought he was a Murderer, and was taken away by the Police."
"If Arson is to Cover-up the Purpose of Murder, then other people related to Mrs. Zhujiao (Family Name) are very suspicious," Conan Said, "For Example, Mr. Morozumi, if he discovered that his Wife was having an affair, it is Possible that he would Murder his Wife who was unfaithful to him."
"And there is also Miss Kondo Keiko," Hattori Heiji Look Towards Chi Feichei, "Her Reaction when she saw Brother Hissashi was too Weird. If she was downstairs in Brother Hissashi's Apartment Building before to Observe the Arson Location, and then saw Brother Hissashi at her Younger Sister's Doorstep, worried that Brother Hissashi had Discovered her Intention and also found her Younger Sister's Home, and was Scared and ran away because of this, then that also makes sense."
"Hmm..." Conan always felt that it was Unlikely. Miss Kondo Keiko Seemingly only had Fear and no Guilt at that Time, but Miss Kondo Keiko is indeed suspicious, "Then there is also that Feng Shui Master. The Deceased filmed a Video Recording of their affair and used it to Threaten him to divorce his Wife. It is also Possible that he used Arson to achieve the Purpose of Murder..."
Chi Feichei silently watched the two of them analyze sentence after sentence.
Famous Detective are really quite unrestrained when they encounter a Case. Officer Yumichou, who they are meeting for the First Time, is still present, yet they are so unreserved about showing their Ability.
As Conan Spoke, he also felt that he Seemingly had been unrestrained, and quickly said to Mori Kogoro with a smile, "Uncle, how was my imitation of your Deduction just now?"
"You kid is still far from it!" Mori Kogoro said with a proud face, and then took out his Mobile Phone to Look at the Time, "It's already four o'clock in the Early Morning now, it's too late to sleep again. Let's wait until tomorrow morning and Go To those three people to Ask about the Situation!"
Hattori Heiji Looked left and right, "Then let's do something to pass the Time."
"I..."
Chi Feichei had just Spoken Out when he was Interrupt by Conan.
"Don't tell Horror Story," Conan waved his arms, "I'm not sleepy at all!"
"Brother Hissashi can tell Horror Story?" Hattori Heiji became interested instead.
"Don't Say it, don't Say it!" Conan covered his Ears.
Hattori Heiji suddenly found it funny, "I Say, Ko..."
Conan: "!"
Chi Feichei: "..."
Famous Detective also has an even more unrestrained Teammate.
"Co...nan..." Hattori Heiji forcibly twisted the sound, paused, and rubbed Conan's Head with a smile, "So you're still afraid of those things?"
Conan gave a Half-Moon Eyes look. Why did he feel that being with Hattori was very dangerous?
