Acting Tips for Conan World

He opened the car window and lit a cigarette. He looked out the window, thinking back to the two charred corpses, and slapped the steering wheel fiercely. "That thing is obviously a smoke bomb released by the arsonist... If we had known, we should have stayed outside the whole time! Ten more minutes, if we wait a few more minutes, maybe we can catch the arsonist!"

"dad……"

Mao Lilan looked at Conan somewhat at a loss.

Conan shook his head firmly, "No, the criminal waited until we left before committing the crime... He must have already prepared to kill... Right, Brother Heiji!"

Conan's sunny, innocent and lovely smile is hilarious no matter how many times Hattori Heiji sees it. He lies back on the chair with his head in his arms, "Yes, this case is called the Serial Arson Case, but why did the murder happen at 4th Chome? The so-called serial cases usually hide their real targets in a certain case, thereby hiding themselves among many suspects, so that the police can't have any suspicion."

Toyama Kazuha blinked, "Heiji, are you doubting Mr. Morokaku?"

"It's impossible not to be suspicious. He remained indifferent when his wife was intimate with another man, as if to prove that he had no motive to kill. But the anger started after he left, and he had made up a lot of proof of his alibi..."

Hattori Heiji crossed his arms and analyzed, "However, it seems that there are some unexpected changes in this case that the criminal did not expect."

Everyone listened attentively to Hattori Heiji's analysis, and Toyama Kazuha's eyes were full of brilliance.

"It seems that the criminal wanted to characterize this intentional murder as an accident in a series of arson cases at the beginning, and that there would be no next arson case after the arsonist accidentally burned two people to death."

"According to the criminal's plan, the police were unable to catch the arsonist, but today he went against his plan and pushed Ms. Xizi out as a scapegoat. But just now, Inspector Yuminaga said that Ms. Xizi had a long alibi when the arson occurred, and it was impossible for her to have committed the crime. Therefore, pushing Ms. Xizi out was a very temporary decision without any investigation."

"Wouldn't it be better if we didn't put the red horse at the arson scene in the first place, and distinguished this case from the serial murder case, so that we could frame Ms. Keiko as a single case?"

Speaking of Hattori

Heiji felt very awkward, "It's as if the criminals who committed the crime in the front and the crime in the back were not thinking in the same way."

“This is the flaw.”

Conan smiled childishly, "The criminal was probably impulsive. He should have made a plan and was ready to implement it a few days later. I don't know what angered him, and alcohol eroded his sanity. After he made the arrangements, he put down the red horse as planned and disguised it as a serial murder case before leaving."

Hattori Heiji pounded his hands, and suddenly it became clear, "That makes sense. The impulsive crime that was inconsistent with the original plan had five of us as witnesses, which greatly increased his suspicion. After he came to his senses and realized this, the criminal temporarily changed his plan!"

"Impulsive crimes will inevitably leave more clues..."

Conan frowned, feeling as if something was being overlooked.

Hattori Heiji was more open-minded. "Let's change our minds first and go to the evidence room to look at the evidence left over from the three previous fires. Maybe there will be some clues there."

Kogoro Mori drove them to the police station, where the red horse from the previous three cases was placed.

Although nothing was found wrong with the red horse in this fire, there might be some clues in the previous three times.

Inspector Yuminaga also didn't think that Miss Xizi was the real murderer, so he cooperated and took them to the evidence room.

"Have you ever found the source of these red horses?"

Inspector Gongchang frowned and said, "No, although these red horses are obviously made in batches using molds, we have been searching for half a year and still cannot trace the factory that produced these molds."

"A serial case...of course we have to look for the truth in the evidence of the first case."

Hattori Heiji looked at the red horse found in the first incident, his eyes lit up, "Look what I found! The strange bulges on both sides of the red horse, do they look like melted human feet?"

Chapter 320 Joint Fishing!

If the Red Horse simply refers to an arsonist, then the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of the combination of the Red Horse and a human is... probably Red Hare.

There was a mistake in direction before, but after it was confirmed that this was actually a combination ornament of a character and Red Hare, the police found the manufacturer and supplier in less than an hour.

"This is a shop called Xuantian Antiques. The shop owner Xuantian asked a manufacturer to customize a keychain with the image of Guan Yu. Xuantian Antiques is the only shop that sells it. However, because it is not popular, the shop owner Xuantian gave it to many customers as a gift for door-to-door sales."

Officer Yumio was silent for a moment. "In fact, this store manager Genda was once our suspect because he appeared at several fire scenes and his actions were very suspicious."

"Is there any connection between that Genda store manager and the first victim of the fire?"

Inspector Yuminaga, who was not good at reasoning, frowned a little bit after Conan explained it to him, "The family in 1-chome is Genda's client... Could it be that the first time that Akama--"

"Yes," Conan's glasses reflected a white light, "it was just a coincidence. The Guanyu statue sent by Xuantian was burned by fire, leaving only the red horse. It was reported as a provocation by the arsonist, and the criminal used this to create the illusion of a serial arson case... I'm afraid Xuantian was the scapegoat he originally intended to kick out."

It was only because he committed the crime in the heat of the moment that his own plans were disrupted.

"I see. Xuantian designed 100 Guan Yu keychains. If we count them one by one, we can find out who the three red horses that were burned by fire were delivered to."

Inspector Yuminaga called to notify the relevant department and asked them to investigate Mr. Morokaku.

Conan put the red horse down, turned his head and suddenly saw that Mao Lilan's elbow had been rubbed against the wall dust. He raised his hand to help pat it, "Sister Xiaolan, your arm..."

He stopped talking midway through his sentence.

It's wall dust?

If that's the case, then maybe there is——

Happy 25th!

He felt like he hadn't experienced such pure happiness in a long time. The last time he was so happy was... when was it?

His mind went blank for a moment, then he shook his head: It was probably when I established my dream of building a private hospital!

He stayed in the hotel room that night, using his computer to look up the pros and cons of various designers and construction teams, calculating how to achieve the best effect with the least legacy. He imagined how after the hospital was built, the guys who had bullied and despised him would respectfully call him "Mr. Dean"!

No. 25 laughed loudly until the grumpy old man next door, who was disturbed by him, opened the window and scolded him severely.

He stretched out his body like a big character, and fell asleep with a contented smile.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"

At two o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden knock on the door. No. 25 had drunk a lot of wine today, and he was trying hard to deal with the scrutiny and beating of Hattori and Conan, think about the character setting, and put his emotions into it... All of these took up too much of his energy.

His eyelids moved, and he was abruptly awakened from a deep sleep. He felt dizzy and his head ached, and he was so sleepy that he wanted to lie down and go back to sleep.

But the knocking sound was so loud that even if I blocked my ears with a pillow, the knocking sound could not be blocked out.

“It’s so noisy!

"

He threw the pillow to the ground in annoyance, staggered barefoot on the carpet in the room to the door, stared at the idiot who disturbed people late at night with bloodshot eyes, "Do you want to die?"

Looking at his irritable look, Miss Xizi couldn't help shaking all over. She forced herself not to look back in the direction of the police for psychological comfort.

She bit her tongue: Calm down, calm down!

As long as I follow the police's instructions and prove that Zhujiao killed Liangzi, he will be deprived of the right to inherit the estate. Then Liangzi's estate, my father's estate... will all be mine!

Miss Xizi swallowed her saliva, and on her face, which had been specially painted with bright red lipstick to cover up her complexion, she raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly, "You didn't expect that I could still come out, Morokaku!"

No. 25 was furious that all his plans had been disrupted. "Haven't you been locked up because of the irrefutable evidence?"

"So the reason I can stand in front of you now is, of course, because the evidence that framed me and got me arrested has been overturned. I was having dinner with a client an hour before and after the fire in Ni-chome, so I definitely didn't have time to set the fire. The evidence was not sufficient in the first place, so I was acquitted!"

Miss Xizi looked at No. 25 confidently, "You should worry about yourself, the real murderer!"

"...What do you mean?"

Excessive sleepiness and sudden changes made No. 25 enter an overly calm state. He stared into Miss Xizi's eyes with a frighteningly calm expression.

"You, it's no use pretending!"

With the police lurking behind her, Miss Xizi was not afraid no matter how breathless she was. "The police have already found out that the so-called red horse is actually the Guan Yu keychain from Xuantian Antique Shop. The store manager Xuantian only ordered 100 in total, and the police are now investigating!"

Thinking that such a large inheritance would soon belong to her, Miss Xizi didn't even need to act. She simply mocked No. 25 with real emotion, "Hehehe, so what if you went to great lengths to kill my sister? The inheritance will eventually come back to me!"

She looked at No. 25 with a condescending look of a winner, "Thank you so much, Zhujiao. After all, private hospitals don't need a hospital like yours. You might as well give it to me for gambling. You and my sister are too rigid... With my good luck these past two days, I might be able to double my money in the next two days!"

"It won't go up several times."

The key words were triggered on the 25th, and the whole person was like a suppressed volcano, "You will only lose money, lose my money, lose the money I used to build the hospital!"

He covered Miss Xizi's mouth and pulled her into the house. "I won't let you succeed! Anyone who hinders me from realizing my dream, whether it's Zengga who stole Liangzi away, Liangzi who didn't give me money to build a hospital, or you, I will get rid of them one by one!"

"Come, this is Go-chome, right?"

No. 25 smiled as he looked at Miss Ieko's extremely terrified eyes. "It's really unfortunate that Miss Ieko, who was finally cleared of suspicion, got drunk in Go-chome to celebrate her release from prison and died in a fire set by a serial arsonist."

He tied up Miss Xizi and blocked her mouth, then took out the Guan Yu statue from the secret pocket of his backpack, shaved off the base and Guan Yu and threw them into the trash can.

I took down the incandescent lamp at the head of the bed and wrapped it with matches and tissue paper using the same method as before. "The foolish woman who scolded her brother-in-law away with her own meanness was buried in the fifth serial arson case... What do you think of this script?"

The door was suddenly kicked open, and Inspector Yumignaga and Conan rushed in. "That's enough, Morokaku!"

Chapter 321 Decisive Evidence

be cheated.

No. 25 felt a chill in his heart.

I should have known this long ago. When this woman suddenly knocked on the door and acted crazy, I should have started to wonder how she knew I was staying in this room in this hotel!

After all, in order to facilitate communication, I only told the police my address!

He clenched his fists, the pain making his thoughts flow more smoothly.

No. 25 let go of Miss Xizi with an awkward expression, and looked at her limp on the ground, her eyes still innocent, "What are you talking about... I was just waking up from a deep sleep and wanted to teach her a lesson, there's no need to make such a big fuss, right?"

"You also heard that she coveted my wife's inheritance and falsely accused me of being the arsonist."

Inspector Gongchang frowned, "Then please explain what happened to the red horse in your hand that cut off the Guan Yu statue? Turn yourself in. It's not too late to do so now!"

"...I finally understand. You two are in the same group, right?"

No. 25 held his breath, his face flushed red, "Ha, I just had a suspicion, but you can treat an innocent citizen like this!"

"I just suddenly saw this keychain and thought I could pretend to be a criminal and scare her as she wished. Is it illegal?"

"Don't quibble. We have already collected all of Xuantian's Guan Yu pendants. Xuantian Antiques Store has a clear record of customers who have given Guan Yu statues to us. We accepted one when we went to sell it door-to-door. You said that your friends also like Guan Yu, so Xuantian gave you three more to express his gratitude when you went to see the doctor."

Hattori Heiji held out his hand, "Except for the one in your hand, where are the remaining three?"

"lost."

"lost?"

"Yes, I left the keychain at the hospital.

It was put in a drawer in the hospital and lost that night."

Listening to their irrelevant questions, No. 25 calmed down completely. He even wanted to laugh out loud if it wasn't for the wrong place.

It's not too late to surrender now.

What this means is that there is no conclusive evidence to convict him. This is so funny. Do you think he would kneel down and confess his guilt as soon as he was deceived like other prisoners?

"Oh yes, officer, I remember something fishy."

He pointed at Hattori Heiji with sudden realization, "It was them. They knocked on my door this morning and broke in. Maybe they were just scouting out the area to make it easier for them to set the fire!"

"Huh? We set fire?" An angry expression popped up on Hattori Heiji's head.

No. 25 was actually a little afraid that Hattori Heiji would get impulsive and beat him up, so he quickly shifted the fight to Miss Keiko who had been staring at him.

"And this guy, you let her out too easily. It hasn't even been more than 8 hours. How can you conclude that she is innocent so easily?"

He pointed at Miss Xizi and said, "What's the alibi? There are many ways to delay arson, but she planted a bug in my house and thought we all died in the fire, right?"

Even if the prosecution is initiated by the public security organs, when the court reviews the materials, if there is insufficient evidence and additional investigation is needed, the case must be returned to the public security organs for additional investigation.

It is impossible to bring a prosecution in such a situation where there is insufficient evidence!

She is still too young. If she had just endured until the end and waited for Mr. Morokaku to set the fire and catch the scene, the evidence would have been solid. However, neither the righteous detective nor the righteous policeman can gamble with Miss Keiko's life for a piece of evidence, right?

He couldn't help but get a little carried away. "No matter how you look at it, Xizi is much more suspicious than me. If you want to doubt me, you'd better show me the evidence first!"

"Yes, there is evidence."

Conan looked up at No. 25, who didn't believe it. "If you have evidence, why don't you tell me?"

If you have evidence, why do you come to defraud me at 2 a.m.? This is really hilarious.

Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets. His anxious look just now was completely gone, as if he was just teasing him. "Remind you two words, gasoline."

gasoline……?

No. 25's heart tightened, "What gasoline?"

Hattori Heiji turned his backwards cap to the front and said, "This is also the entry point we just thought of not long ago. This time you used an incandescent lamp to light a match timing device. When the match was lit, let the toilet paper fall to the ground to ignite the fire, right?"

"I do not know what you're talking about!"

Hattori Heiji, who had just been beaten by the criminal, finally responded with a sarcastic tone, "Ah, aren't the toilet paper and matches in your hand used to reproduce this ignition method? When humans are not in a clear mind, they will habitually continue with the previous method when they encounter something they have done before. I wonder how you know this method when you have never even entered the fire scene?"

No. 25's face changed. "I've already said that there are many ways to delay arson! I just happened to use this method to scare Xizi--"

"Wow, that's quite a coincidence."
