Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

The arsonist witnessed by Ayumi has committed four crimes so far, causing panic among the people.

Arsonists only operate at night.

As a result, the number of pedestrians at night decreased significantly.

When Ayumi talked about this at school, the young detective team led by Conan immediately had the determination to bring the other party to justice. Ai was regarded as a member without authorization, and Miss Winnet's date plan fell through. However, the detective game should also be considered a part of the fun. According to Mingmei's theory, all you have to do is make good use of the process.

They drove to the Metropolitan Police Department.

There is a fence at the entrance, and cars can only be parked in the nearby parking lot. The Metropolitan Police Department is a high-rise rectangular building with about 20 floors, and there is a 5-6 meter high water tower on the roof. It is not the first time for the children to come here, and they find the location of the Investigation Section 1 with ease.

Obviously, the police still have some prejudice against children. The police officers at the seats were not active, but Sato, who had worked with them before, took the initiative to receive them; she asked Ayumi about the image of the arsonist; she took a carbon pen and a picture book and painted according to Ayumi's instructions.

Miss Winnett was impressed by Sato's martial arts skills, but she didn't expect that she was so versatile and could also paint. In comparison, her painting skills could only be described as weird.

It's just a little slow.

Xiao Ai, whose shoulder was resting against her legs, yawned.

Finally coming to an end, Sato asked about the suspect's eyes.

"Hmm...how should I put it? It looks a bit like a fox," Ayumi vividly pressed her index finger on the corner of her eye and pulled it, "and it's hanging up like this."

"Single eyelids with slightly raised corners!"

After adding a few strokes, Sato turned the drawing board in his hand and said:

"Does that person look like this?"

Miss Winnett was about to take back her previous judgment. The portrait on Sato's drawing board was like a primary school student's graffiti, with pine needle-like hair, shark teeth, a chin that could kill people, and grass-like eyebrows and beard. It was too sloppy. She felt that he should be better than her.

"Not at all!" Ayumi said in confusion.

“That’s not the case…”

"You're really bad at drawing!" Yuan Tai added.

"That's right!" Mitsuhiko agreed.

It was Ai's turn. She delivered the fatal blow:

"It's just like a child's doodle. Is there no one else besides you?"

Sato blushed. She said in annoyance:

"I can't do anything about it. Mr. Youchuan, who specializes in portrait painting in the bureau, happened to have a cold and asked for leave today!"

At this time, Takagi came over and took the painting from Sato. Shiratori also came to watch the fun. The two of them were not afraid of making trouble. Takagi said that this painting could not be sent to the investigators at all, and Shiratori brought up the surrealist school of painting, which was a bit ironic. The two of them made Sato unhappy, and she said:

"If you two are willing to paint for me, I would be more than happy to do so."

As soon as she started talking, the two of them fell silent. Takagi knew nothing about painting, and Shiratori escaped at the last minute. To cover up the embarrassment, Takagi found a random topic:

"By the way, we are not sure that the man Ayumi saw was the arsonist, right?"

He received six pairs of unfriendly looks.

Mitsuhiko asks him if he thinks Ayumi is lying, and Genta thinks he is looking down on people. Takagi points out that Ayumi did not see the arsonist set the fire, but he is quickly refuted by Conan; Conan analyzes the arsonist's attire, the smell of kerosene on his body, and even his evil smile.

Sato gave him a "what's up" look.

"How about letting me try it?" Miss Winnet volunteered.

Occasionally, she also wants to show off in front of Ai.

Sato was a little surprised because of the added effect of the eyes, but she still agreed. She gave her seat to Winnet and watched from the side. At first, she thought Winnet was just having a sudden whim, and she never thought that a woman with poor eyesight really had excellent painting skills; the portraits on the paper gradually became fuller and no less than real people.

As the finished product was completed, even Ai's eyes widened slightly.

The colorful flags last time made her very angry.

"Not bad," she commented.

"It's not just good. Even if Mr. Tomokawa were here, he couldn't draw better, right?" Sato was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close.

Although Winnett had an extraordinary talent for depicting scenery and decorations, her skills in painting portraits were mediocre - she just copied them. Thanks to her proficiency in camouflage technology, she had a lot of experience in painting human faces.

Ayumi stared at the painting and said that there was no doubt that this was the person.

……

515 The fate of praising other women

The man's face in the painting was angular and long, with two close eyes that were narrow and cunning, revealing a fierce look. Under her excellent painting skills, he looked a little crazy. Staring at this portrait, the children couldn't help but feel scared. Sato called Gao Mu, handed him the painting, and nodded; he understood that this was to report to the team, and when he was leaving with the painting, he exclaimed: "Miss Winnet, your painting is really vivid!"

Sato looked at Takagi with an unhappy look, her lips painted with lipstick pursed, her eyelids drooped slightly, making her eyes sharp, as if to say "I am a bad painter", being stared at by her eyes, Takagi fled the scene in anger. Xiao Ai, who was watching the whole process, yawned again due to lack of sleep, and laughed in a voice that only the people around her could hear, saying that this is the result of praising other women in front of your girlfriend.

"I think you should just draw sketches in the future. They're pretty good, aren't they?" Xiao Ai praised Winnett and said to her, "Since drawing other things is like a riot of demons, why not specialize in one thing?"

"Devils are dancing wildly..."

Conan next to them looked like he wanted to complain but couldn't interrupt the atmosphere between the two of them.

He thought of the colorful flags from last time. That was the surreal art that Officer Shiratori mentioned, a very authentic kind that ordinary people could hardly appreciate.

The other children just looked at her with admiration, and Ayumi even wanted to learn painting from Winnet, but Conan advised her to think twice and at most just learn how to draw portraits.

Winnet was quite surprised. She didn't expect that the great detective could tell from just one of her paintings that she was not good at drawing human figures. She said that learning from her was doomed to fail. She said that they could come to her club, which had a studio where some quiet old people were always creating art.

"Well, let's go to the scene to collect evidence." Sato clapped his hands and brought the topic back.

"Collect evidence on the spot!"

"awesome!"

The young detective team is looking forward to it.

The sharp-eared Takagi and Shiratori almost flashed over and said they wanted to go together. It was like Sima Zhao's intention was known to everyone. The drama of chasing love in the workplace was played out as usual, making Winnet wonder if they were working properly. No wonder the Metropolitan Police Department was full of good-for-nothings and could only rely on detectives to solve cases. However, she felt that they could not be blamed entirely. The criminals here liked to play the tricks of detective novels to cover up their crimes. Some of them had extremely low success rates and stability, but their excellent psychological quality made up for this.

"Don't bother. I have to go somewhere else and I'll just pass by here on the way." Sato declined. "Wherever I go today actually has a special meaning to me."

Gao Mu was confused.

Shiratori guessed it was her birthday.

"Quite the opposite," she replied.

Her words made the children curious, but Conan and Ai didn't point it out, and Winette didn't say anything either. Memorial services shouldn't be mentioned casually. The children took Sato's car, but Ai complained that it was crowded, so she took one with Winette. Winette happily ran to the back seat, shaking her upper body like a happy kangaroo.

Not long after the engine started, Xiao Ai focused her eyes on the rearview mirror of the car and said:

"There's another car following behind us. It must be Officer Takagi's."

Then, she expressed her thoughts on the slow development of their relationship and explained that she is a person of action.

As she spoke, she looked at Winnet with a meaningful look. Winnet couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she was looked at by her. She was indeed not proactive enough. She didn't have the confidence to handle delicate matters properly.

This ambiguity is just enough, and there is a light bulb on the driver's seat. Then Xiao Ai mentioned Xiaolan. From what Conan and the doctor heard, Xiaolan is keen on traveling recently. She just won the first prize of the hotel invitation ticket drawn yesterday. She has a moderate thought in non-scientific judgment, believing that good and bad luck are balanced, and there are both losses and gifts. The look in her eyes during the conversation seemed to say "You are the best gift God has given me."

Later, she mentioned the autumn trip. Dr. Agasa thought that children should go to the mountains to experience life and pick mushrooms. At this time, he was worried about choosing a location and the type of mushrooms. She asked Winette if she wanted to go with her. Winette quickly agreed, and at the same time recalled Mingmei's words, saying that she really had no ability to distinguish mushrooms.

"Then I will teach you with all my heart." Xiao Ai said. She still remembered that Winnet hated mushrooms, and had already ruled out this option in her mind. She asked Winnet what she thought of wild mushrooms, and Winnet said that they were delicious when stewed in soup. She often picked mushrooms in the church cemetery and in the mountains behind. There were often a lot of mushrooms growing around dead wood and beech, which was a rare delicacy.

There was a period of time when I was often poisoned.

"The weather is starting to get cooler," Winnett gave a slight reminder.

Today Xiao Ai is wearing a purple tank top and gray cropped pants.

"But you, wrapped up so tightly, your ideas are so conservative."

Xiao Ai complained in return, because Winnet was wearing a black long-sleeved dress, which made her skin look even whiter, as if she was going to pay tribute to someone - to attend a funeral. She stopped Winnet's explanation because she knew that Winnet was going to mention the deceased nun again.

At an intersection, Officer Sato stopped the car.

Clyde parked behind the red Mazda, and as they got out they saw Sato take a potted cosmos from the trunk.

In Japan, it is customary to use this flower for memorial ceremonies in autumn.

Following closely behind, Takagi and Shiratori also appeared.

It makes one wonder if they have any proper jobs at all.

Sato placed the flowers next to the traffic light pole at the intersection, squatted down and clasped his hands together.

Looking at Sato's eyes closed in prayer, Shiratori fell into deep thought, and then he remembered that today was the anniversary of Sato's father's death. Eighteen years ago today, Sato's father was hit by a truck while chasing a robber and murderer, and died at this intersection. He continued:

"Unfortunately, it was raining heavily that day, and the ambulance arrived at the scene very late. He breathed his last in the car under the watchful eyes of Officer Sato and his family who arrived just in time. I remember the case was called..."

"Chou Silang." Conan suddenly interrupted.

The white bird suddenly realized.

"The detective who was hit by the car kept shouting a mysterious name to the hit-and-run murderer, and this was later named the Chou Silang case. At the time, the police set up a large-scale search network to investigate, but the investigation was in trouble because the detective who had the key to the case died, and the statute of limitations ended three years ago."

Conan explains science seriously.

The way the two police officers looked at him had changed.

He really never learns his lesson.

Xiao Ai and Winnet had the same feeling.

He himself realized that he had gone too far, so he quickly laughed and said:

"These are what Uncle Maori told me!"

……

516 fire

This case is quite famous, and Takagi has also seen it on TV. The criminals' meticulous crime only left a video of less than ten seconds in the bank, and it has become a mystery how the police officer who was tracking the suspect learned the identity of the criminal. Takagi looked up at Sato's back.

"But I didn't expect that the detective was Officer Sato's father who passed away early."

"It's not your fault," Sato said with relief. "Even if the case and the name of the main suspect are still remembered by people, it's hard to remember who the police officer who died in the case was unless you're a police officer."

She turned around and continued as she walked towards the car:

"Besides, police officers don't risk their lives just to leave a lasting impression on others."

Takagi and Shiratori stared at her.

Yuan Tai was confused and thought that the truck driver must have seen the criminal's appearance. Sato explained that the other party was wearing a long raincoat at the time, and in the image captured by the anti-theft camera, the criminal was also wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a coat, which was impeccable.

Mitsuhiko mentioned Chousilang's name.

The result was the same. After screening by the police, no one with this name matched the suspect.

There are only three clues.

The image from the anti-theft video recorder, the raincoat and the worried man.

In Shiratori's opinion, it's no wonder that this incident became an unsolved case.

"You're wrong, there's a fourth point," Sato said, referring to her father's police handbook, on which the words "KAN O" were suspiciously written in katakana.

Takagi and Shiratori heard about it for the first time, and Sato also said that the police did not want this to be leaked. In the subsequent investigation of the incident, the police also asked her and her mother whether her father had mentioned similar words. The answer was no. For her, it was also a strange and mysterious word. She said:

"I often think to myself, whoever can solve this puzzle and catch Chou Silang, no matter what he asks, I will definitely agree to it."

"Any requests?"

"Promise him everything?"

Takagi and Shiratori were torn between conscience and desire upon hearing this; both of them raised their eyes at the same time, as if imagining what they would look like after solving the puzzle.

Compared to their unspeakable and timid fantasies, the children's wishes were much simpler. Yuanta's eel rice, Ayumi's tropical paradise castle, Mitsuhiko's tickets to the International Space Station, and even Xiao Ai was moved by their atmosphere and said that as long as she was given the latest Prada handbag, it would be fine.

Edogawa followed the lion's lead and raised the price to tickets for the World Cup.

Sato agreed with a smile, but he had already started complaining in his heart. Not to mention Genta and the other three, Ai and Conan were so smart that it was scary.

Winnett silently noted down the brand. She remembered that it was an Italian luxury brand.

Well, if you want something like this, just act coquettishly with her!

Miss Winnett secretly decided that even if she had to embezzle the organization's funds, she would get the limited edition; however, Ai might just be talking about it, just like a child who is asked about the reward for getting a perfect score on the exam, and would feel sorry for the meager possibility if he didn't mention an expensive one.

Winnet didn't say what she wanted.

She was as silent as the other two men lying beside the car, but there was a subtle difference.

Just then, Ayumi saw a few people walking by holding bouquets of flowers and shouted in surprise. Sato obviously knew them and took the initiative to greet them. After a few pleasantries, their identities became clear - they were all friends of Officer Sato's father's baseball team in high school. She introduced them as the ace pitcher Saruwatari Hideaki, the agile Kano Shuji, the team's main player Inomata Mitsuo, and the beautiful manager Kamitori Chouko. They planned to get together for a drink, and before that, they came to pay tribute to Sato's father, who was the captain of the baseball team.
