Conan's Devil Child Comes to the World

Chapter 140 Making Friends out of Nothing

"Damn bastard!"

Looking at Uchida Asami who was still sleeping, Suzuki Seimei couldn't help clenching his fists.

It was obvious that someone had secretly drugged Asami Uchida, otherwise Corgi would have woken up long ago when she barked so loudly just now.

And judging from the fax machine and the cake candles directly below, it was obvious that someone wanted to use this method to burn Uchida Asami to death.

"..."

Just when Suzuki Seimei was about to step forward to put out the flames, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Uchida Asami who was still sleeping.

If Seimei Suzuki extinguished the flames now, although Asami Uchida could be saved, there was no evidence to convict the criminal.

Instead of letting the prisoner hide in the dark and continue to make trouble, it is better to make the matter bigger, and then find the prisoner and let him pick up the soap for a lifetime in prison.

After Suzuki Seimei made up his mind, he watched the flames ignite the villa and closed the curtains.

At the same time, in the karaoke hall not far from the villa, everyone was singing happily.

Going to the window to smoke, Sawai Gaku looked casually at the direction of the hilltop villa, and couldn't help shouting, "Look quickly! Is there a fire over there?"

"Wait! Isn't that the villa we rented?"

"what?!"

Yuanzi's face suddenly changed when he heard the words, Huarong paled and said: "Senior Qingming and Mami-senpai are still in the villa!"

"Hurry up and call the fire alarm, let's go back first!"

Under the leadership of Mori Kogoro, the crowd hurriedly drove towards the villa in the rented car.

When everyone rushed to the villa, the whole villa had already been engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

"Qingming, Qingming..."

Yuanzi yelled and rushed out of the car, his whole body was about to collapse.

If Suzuki Seimei was really buried in the sea of ​​flames, Sonoko didn't know how to go back and explain, and she would feel guilty and blame herself to death.

"Sister Yuanzi, we are here!"

Just as Yuanzi and Mao Lilan were about to rush into the flames to save people, a childish cheer suddenly came from behind them.

Sonoko and the others looked around, and saw Suzuki Seimei holding Kurosaki Tamaka's hand and waving his small hand at them in front of the woods tens of meters away.

"Great, great, Seimei, it's great that you're fine!"

Seeing that Suzuki Seimei was safe and sound, Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to him, hugging him in his arms.

It's like finding a lost treasure and holding it tight!
Mao Lilan didn't see Mami Uchida, so she couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Yuhua, where's Mami-senpai?"

"Xiao Lan, don't worry, Miss Mami is not injured, she is sleeping in the car." Kurosaki Tamaka pointed to the nanny drive not far away.

After learning that Asami Uchida was safe and sound, the crowd who gathered around breathed a sigh of relief.

Conan glanced at Suzuki Seimei who was comforting Sonoko, and asked in a childish voice: "Sister Yuhua, what happened, why did the villa suddenly catch fire?"

Kurosaki Yuka shook her head and said: "I don't know how the villa caught fire, but it was Mr. Long Yi who first discovered something was wrong, led me into the villa, and rescued the young master and Miss Mami who were trapped in the living room .”

Hearing Kurosaki Tamaka's words, Sawai Gaku, who was a guilty conscience, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Kurosaki Tamaka and the others saw the scene where the paper from the fax machine was ignited by the candle on the cake, then his modus operandi would be instantly cracked.

Sawai Gaku had just breathed a sigh of relief when Suzuki Seimei suddenly said, "Conan, I know how the villa caught fire."

"Seimei, you really saw it, what is the source of the fire?" Conan asked expectantly.

"At that time, I was about to go to the bathroom, but I found that the fax machine in the hall was on fire. When I ran down from the second floor, the curtains of the villa were already on fire, and then Uncle Longyi and Sister Yuhua rushed in gone."

"The fax machine is on fire?"

Mori Kogoro's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Qingming, do you still remember how the fax machine caught fire?"

"Um……"

Suzuki Seimei thought for a while and said: "It seems that the fax paper in the fax machine was ignited by the candle on the cake. I remember that there was an unfinished piece of cake in front of the fax machine, with a candle on it."

"What did you say?!"

When Mori Kogoro and Conan heard this, their expressions changed drastically, and their pupils shrank suddenly.

If it is really what Suzuki Seimei said, then this fire was not an accident, but someone deliberately set it on fire.

Because the candles on the cake had already been blown out by Asami Uchida, the birthday star, even if there were unfinished cakes in the villa, it was impossible to still have candles on them, let alone light them.

That is to say, someone deliberately inserted candles on top of the cake, and then put the lit candle cake in front of the fax machine, and used fax letters to set fire remotely.

The only people who could take advantage of this modus operandi were other people in the villa.

Just now everyone was singing in the private karaoke room. People like Yuanzi and the others who have been staying in the private room have no time to commit crimes, so they can be the first to rule out the suspects.

However, there were three other people who left the private room on the way, and the murderer should be among these three people.

"Mr. Sawai, Mr. Noguchi, and Ms. Tomoko, did you send a fax when you went to the convenience store just now?"

Faced with Kogoro Mori's sudden questioning, Sawai Gaku felt a sudden in his heart, but on the surface he smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Mori, what do you mean? You don't doubt that we set the villa on fire, do you?" ?”

Mori Kogoro said with a serious face: "That's right! I'm just suspicious of you. Those who can use this kind of crime are among us. Only you three have the time to commit crimes."

"Mr. Maori, I just went to the convenience store to buy some snacks, and I didn't use the fax machine at all."

Tomoko Hayasaka replied with a clear conscience: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the owner of the convenience store."

After hearing the words for a long time, Noguchi Shiba said, "I just went to buy a few cans of beer, and I never used the fax machine at all."

stare--

After listening to Tomoko Hayasaka and Shibahisa Noguchi, everyone focused on Sawai Gaku.

"You...don't look at me like that, okay? I did use a fax in the convenience store, but that fax was sent to my friend, who asked me to get a good one for a novel he wrote recently. name."

In fact, Sawai Gaku didn't want to admit that he had used a fax in a convenience store, but you only need to ask the owner of the convenience store about this kind of thing, so it doesn't make sense for him to deny it now, and he can only make friends out of nothing.
