Conan kissed me again and again, and Huiyuan was stunned

at the same time.

In the dim living room on the first floor of the holiday villa, water accumulated on the slightly burnt floor, the wooden door was open, and the clear moonlight passed through the window and sprinkled into the house.

Many police officers were scattered throughout the house, diligently investigating the fire scene to see if there were any signs of arson.

Kudo Shinichi walked along the wet corridor into the living room, holding Dongfang Haoyue with his left hand, and put his right hand in his pocket. He looked down at the floor and thought calmly in his heart:

“Forgot to put out the candle?

Accident?

Is that really the case?

No, that's not right.

Putting aside the fact that we've had only a handful of accidents so far, the mere sight of Ms. Asami lying on the ground was suspicious.

She was supposed to sleep on the couch.

Besides…”

Kudo Shinichi raised his head slightly, patiently examined the layout of the house, and made an uncertain judgment in his mind:

“I didn’t observe carefully when I rescued Ms. Mami, but now I see… there is a strange incongruity in the arrangement of furniture before and after the fire.

It looked like someone had moved something.

Could it be that one of us came back and started the fire?"

"According to Shinichi's idea, the suspicious person is Morimoto Yoshinobu, who has the key to the villa. He can open the door and come in."

Dongfang Haoyue put his left hand in his pocket and let Kudo Shinichi hold his right hand. He turned his head to look at him, carefully reading his facial expression and seeing through his inner thoughts. He added in a reminiscent voice:

"I remember that before leaving, he checked to see if he had the keys to the villa."

"Ah, I've been seen through again."

Kudo Shinichi came back to his senses, smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Dongfang Haoyue, and said softly with emotion:

"Haoyue is becoming more and more familiar with me."

"Yes, yes."

Dongfang Haoyue nodded slightly and blinked shyly.

"Um... Speaking of which."

Kudo Shinichi stared at Dongfang Haoyue in fascination for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he turned his head to look at the closed window and explained in a calm and low voice:

“Even without the key to the villa, the criminal could easily open the unlocked window and sneak into the villa.

If you think about it carefully, the police officer mentioned that the fire started at 2:50 in the morning, but before 3 o'clock, except for Miss Asami, everyone else was in the karaoke box in front of the station.

It takes Detective Maori five minutes to drive from the karaoke bar to the villa, and even if he runs it will take 15 minutes, so a total of 30 minutes for the round trip.

The problem is that no one leaves the box for more than 30 minutes.”

"That is to say, the only person who could have returned to the villa and started the fire was Shigehisa Noguchi, and he had the car keys."

Dongfang Haoyue held his chin with his left hand in the shape of a pistol and stared at the window thoughtfully.

"But the van was parked on the road outside the karaoke bar."

Kudo Shinichi looked at Dongfang Haoyue and analyzed rationally in a low voice:

“Before three o’clock, everyone went to the restroom at the station or the convenience store next to the karaoke bar.

If the criminals drove off with the van, someone would have noticed it.”

"In that case, is it possible that Miyazaki Chinatsu arrived at the villa on a motorcycle?"

Dongfang Haoyue put his left hand in his pocket and put forward the possibility meticulously.

"Um...Haoyue didn't notice..."

Kudo Shinichi slightly grasped Dongfang Haoyue's white and tender wrist, looked at her dumbly, and said softly helplessly:

"After Detective Maori brought us to the villa, I saw Ms. Chinatsu's motorcycle parked outside the villa."

"Oh, I see. I was only thinking about catching the criminal and staring at the blazing fire in the villa. I didn't pay attention to anything else."

Dongfang Haoyue scratched his head with his left hand and smiled innocently. He unexpectedly felt something was wrong and questioned in a serious voice:

"No, no, Ms. Chinatsu could have driven to the villa on a motorcycle, set the fire, and then ran back to the karaoke bar. It would only take her 20 minutes to commit the crime. She could even travel even faster because the speed would be much faster."

"Uh......"

Kudo Shinichi thought that Dongfang Haoyue was right, but he had a vague feeling deep in his heart that something was wrong. He thought seriously for a moment, and a look of surprise appeared on his handsome face. He madly complained in a low voice:

"Stupid Haoyue, Miss Chinatsu followed us in the van to the karaoke bar, she didn't drive the motorcycle over there at all, it's impossible for her to drive from the karaoke bar to here!"

"Is that so? Haha, this is so embarrassing."

Dongfang Haoyue stood there in a daze, uttering a series of interjections in a foolish and cute manner, and touched his head awkwardly.

“Really…!”

Kudo Shinichi shook his head with deep melancholy, then changed the subject and went to the point in a serious voice:

"After our analysis, we can basically conclude that it is impossible for the people who were in the karaoke box at that time to rush here and set the fire.

It would be a different matter if the criminals had set up a timed fire device in advance, but the police did not find a timed fire device at the fire scene. "

"That is to say..."

Dongfang Haoyue hesitated for a moment, looked at Kudo Shinichi with a gloomy face, and said softly with reluctance:

"As Detective Maori said, Ms. Asami herself..."

"No, she won't. The Asami I know wouldn't do that."

Kudo Shinichi shook his head decisively, called Uchida Asami by her name, and said in a low, stern voice:

“She was lying on the floor away from the sofa and it looked like someone had moved her.

Besides, we are in the middle of a drama, aren’t we? Most of the accidents are carefully disguised by the criminals.”

"I believe what Shinichi said is true, and I also know that according to the plot of Detective Conan, accidents are often caused by criminals, but people will change."

Dongfang Haoyue grabbed Kudo Shinichi's soft little hand with his backhand, looked at him carefully, and guessed with regret:

"Ms. Mami had been looking forward to Shinichi attending her birthday dinner, but not only did Shinichi not come, he also did not tell her in advance. She was disheartened..."

"No...No..."

Kudo Shinichi trembled slightly, a drop of sweat flowed down his cheek, and he looked at Dongfang Haoyue who had the right to speak with a look of loss of confidence. Who would have thought...

"Stupid Shinichi, you've been fooled! There's no way Ms. Asami would commit suicide for something like this!"

Dongfang Haoyue's demeanor suddenly changed. He smiled slyly, lightly pinched Kudo Shinichi's soft palm, and said sincerely and firmly in a low voice:

"Shinichi clearly knows that Miss Asami is gentle and kind, and her heart is filled with determination. She would never give up her life!"

"Then...the words that Haoyue said misled my heart..."

Kudo Shinichi calmed down a little. He pressed Dongfang Haoyue's smooth back of the hand with four fingers and looked at her with a confused look.

"It's because Shinichi called me an idiot!"

Dongfang Haoyue turned her head away proudly, then turned to look at Kudo Shinichi and said in a low voice with confidence:

"Of course I have to find a legitimate opportunity to say that Shinichi is an idiot!"

“It’s nerve-wracking…”

Kudo Shinichi held his forehead with one hand, feeling a severe headache until the next second.

"Hey, kid!"

A middle-aged police officer walked from the window to the middle in front of Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, squatted on the ground, patted their round heads kindly, and reminded them with a friendly smile according to the police practice:

"You are not allowed to enter the fire scene without permission~"

at the same time.

"what!"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi were startled involuntarily, and quickly let go of each other. They turned their heads to look at the middle-aged policeman, and said hastily and politely:

"Yes, I'm sorry!!"

Actually...

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi muttered in their hearts, sweating:

"I almost forgot the police officers here don't know us."

"Oh, I heard that the child sleeping in this living room has a birthday today."

The middle-aged police officer stood up, calmly searched the inside pocket of his jacket, and said with regret:

"Although the gifts and cake were burned, a part of this was saved."

The middle-aged police officer took out two pieces of white paper with some residue, squatted down, handed them forward properly, and confirmed with a smile:

"Look at this, is this a birthday greeting for that child?"

The middle-aged police officer did not wait for Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi to respond, and gave a friendly suggestion:

"You can take it to the hospital to comfort the child!"

Dongfang Haoyue heard this and withdrew his compassionate gaze from the white paper. He looked at the middle-aged police officer in silence, covered his face with one hand in his heart, and complained, unable to bear to look directly at it:

"Miss Mami will feel even more upset when she sees the blessings others sent her being burned!"

Kudo Shinichi took the small piece of blank white paper in his left hand and the large piece of white paper with black words in his right hand, and hung them in front of his chest. He looked down at them and tried to put them together. Suddenly he found that a corner of the small white paper overlapped with the large white paper. He was surprised and thought:

"what?"

Dongfang Haoyue noticed the change in Kudo Shinichi's expression from the corner of his eyes. He turned to look at him, then looked at the paper. He was slightly stunned, and thought in his heart with doubt:

"These are the burnt remains of two complete sheets of paper, but the professor only sent a fax.

And before we left the living room, there was no extra white paper in the living room.

So... a piece of white paper appeared out of nowhere, why?"

at the same time.

The middle-aged policeman saw Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi lost in thought, and stood up without thinking too much.

A young police officer walked to the right of the middle-aged police officer, turned his head and looked at him, and said with regret:

"That girl suffered a fire on her birthday, so pitiful..."
