Chapter 103: Anecdotes about Abnormal Persons

After all the preparations were done, Luo Zihang continued his great career of brushing up skills.

But because there are more interesting things to do, and because other skills except karate and skating have not made much progress, Luo Zihang's motivation is not as high as before.

Just when he was a little bored with brushing up skills and was planning to have a good time, he received a call from the fire department...

The villa that was destined to be unsustainable was finally destroyed by the designer Shinichi Yamanaka himself.

"Mr. Sanqianyuan, we meet again."

In front of a villa that was burned beyond recognition, Luo Zihang met the "male" heroines Ranko Saotome and Akane Tendo.

The reason why the two of them are here is also very simple...the fire was what they discovered first.

"Long time no see," Luo Zihang nodded and said, "Thank you both for your help... It's a pity that this house still couldn't be saved."

I don’t know how much gasoline Yamanaka Shinichi poured on him, but the fire brigade was unable to save him.

I have to say that this kind of paranoid man is really ruthless when he attacks.

"Mr. Sanzenin, can I ask you a few questions?" After the simple greetings, Ranzi Saotome immediately took out a small notebook and asked in front of him.

"I'm sorry, can you make an appointment at another time?" Luo Zihang pointed to the villa behind him that was basically just a pile of charcoal and said: "I have to discuss the compensation issue with the insurance company first. If you have anything to ask, I will contact you this afternoon.

talk later."

Of course, this is just Luo Zihang's excuse. After all, he can't take those materials with him, and this place is not suitable for "revealing the truth of the world" to the protagonist.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Saotome's expression change. While looking at him warily, he took half a step forward and used his body to block Akane Tendou next to him.

Luo Zihang:???

Although what he said just now is just an excuse, it is also very reasonable and reasonable. What is going on with the protagonist? You can't inexplicably think that I am a self-directed and self-acted murderer just because of these two sentences, right?

With Sanqianyuan's family's financial situation, is it necessary to resort to such low-level means as insurance fraud?

Luo Zihang, who was not very "aware" of the reputation of Sanqianyuan Emperor, completely derailed Saotome Ranzi's vigilance.

Just when Luo Zihang was still thinking about how to deal with the other party, Saotome Ranzi put away her notebook, took out her mobile phone and said, "Okay, I will contact you in the afternoon. Let's add an email address."

Just like Japan in my previous life, people in Wano prefer to communicate via email rather than text messages.

"Trouble?" Tiandaoxian quietly tugged at the hem of her clothes and whispered with a somewhat hesitant expression.

However, although her movements were hidden, they were still seen by Luo Zihang.

"..."

Now if you don't understand what's going on, then Luo Zihang is too stupid.

He was still thinking about whether he should defend himself, but when he thought of the young ladies who were learning biological knowledge from him, he felt that it was not necessary...

So he didn't bother to say anything more. After adding Saotome Ranzi's email address, he went to find someone from the insurance company.

…

Time soon arrived in the afternoon, and Luo Zihang made an appointment with Saotome Ranzi to another house of his...

Although doing this may deepen the misunderstanding of the other party, if he makes a date outside, he is worried about another murder case or something. Anyway, he has no interest in this "hero", so it doesn't matter if the other party misunderstands him.

Just as Luo Zihang guessed, Saotome Ranzi acted extremely cautious after entering the door, touching her watch from time to time...

Although there is no "Sleeping Tendo Soun" here, the anesthesia watch still appears.

In fact, whether it was Dr. Tsuchiya or Dr. Agasa, the original intention was for the protagonist to use this watch to deal with criminals. However, in the hands of Conan, this prop was almost exclusively used on his old father-in-law.

Seeing Luanzi's cautious look, Luo Zihang was speechless...

If you're so worried about what I'll do to you, why don't you bring Akane Tendo with you? You, Ranma, can't fight.

"Tea? Coffee?" Too lazy to pay attention to the other party's unfounded worries, Luo Zihang opened the refrigerator, took out two cans of happy water, and put one in front of Luanzi, "No matter what you want to drink, I only have Coke here."

The corner of Saotome Ranzi's mouth twitched twice, and she began to wonder whether the Sanzenin Emperor in front of her was really the playboy that Kunou Kodachi said.

However, out of caution, she did not touch the can of Coke. Instead, she took out her notebook again and began to ask questions about the arson case in the morning.

"Mr. Sanzenyuan, do you have any suspicion about the fire this morning?"

"Yes." Luo Zihang opened the Coke, took a big gulp, and said calmly: "To be precise, I already know who the arsonist is."

"What?!" Luanzi stood up suddenly and asked excitedly: "Please tell me the name of that person! You may not know, he..."

"He's a serial arsonist, right?" Luo Zihang slowly took over Luanzi's words, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Actually, it was only after a little investigation into the previous arson cases that I determined who that person was.

.”

I have to say that it is really cool to use foresight to show off in front of the protagonist.

However, Luo Zihang did this not just to show off, but to establish a smart image in front of the protagonist first, so that he would be more convincing when he reveals the truth about the world to her next.

"Who is he? How did you deduce it?"

Saotome Ranzi stared at Luo Zihang. She wanted to know who the criminal was, but she was also a little unwilling that her reasoning could not compare with a rich second generation who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

"Do you know what these arson cases have in common?"

I don’t know if it was influenced by detective dramas, but Luo Zihang took his time to sell the story.

As a detective, Ranzi happened to be just like this. She sat back on her seat, held her chin and said seriously: "The common point... Yamanaka Shinichi? I just noticed it today, your building

Villa, I once saw photos in Yamanaka Shinichi’s exhibition room.”

Luo Zihang nodded first, then shook his head: "Yes, but not entirely correct. To be precise, the works that were burned were not the works of Shinichi Yamanaka, but the works of Nobuhiko Yamanaka."

"Yamanaka Nobuhiko? Isn't that Yamanaka Shinichi's previous name?" Ranzi didn't react at first and showed a confused expression, but soon she thought of something and her eyes widened in disbelief: "You mean?

...He is the murderer?!!"

"Yes," Luo Zihang nodded calmly, "It's actually not that unusual for a paranoid to commit a crime."

"Where's the evidence?" After calming down, Luanzi continued to ask.

Although a small part of it is because she is not convinced by Luo Zihang's reasoning, but more of it is the principle of being a detective - she needs tangible evidence to prove that the arsonist is Shinichi Yamanaka...

Even though she actually agreed with Luo Zihang's guess in her heart, she also felt that there was a high possibility that Yamanaka Shinichi was a criminal.

"No," Luo Zihang spread his hands and said confidently: "I have no intention of causing trouble for him, so why should I collect evidence."

"Wha, what?" Luanzi was stunned for a while, then frowned and asked: "Why? Don't you want to arrest the person who burned down your house? Although the villa was designed by Shinichi Yamanaka,

The ownership is yours."

"Because... it's meaningless..." Luo Zihang sighed, his acting skills were at full range, and he looked like he had seen through the world of mortals.

Then, he looked at Ranko Saotome with an extremely complicated look, making her already confused even more confused.

"It doesn't make sense? How can it be meaningless?"

As a detective, Luan Zi obviously cannot understand Luo Zihang's strange thoughts. For her, catching criminals and upholding fairness and justice is the greatest meaning.

However, Luo Zihang did not answer her question directly, but asked instead: "I don't know, Miss Saotome, do you remember what happened on Christmas last year and Valentine's Day this year?"

Although he was confused as to why the other party asked such a tangential question, Luanzi still recalled it carefully and replied: "Last Christmas... Xiaoqian, Uncle Soun, and I were invited by customers to attend their company.

The event was held, but a murder occurred later. We left after solving the case, and then in Chinatown..."

Luanzi's memory is still very good. She briefly recounted all the cases she experienced in the past two days. After finishing it, she still sighed: "If you hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have realized that I had experienced so much in those two days.

matter."

Luo Zihang: "...I think you still missed something."

As a detective, the most unbearable thing is for others to question his observation ability, so Luan Zi immediately recalled it carefully several times before he said with confidence: "It's impossible! I'm sure I didn't miss anything!"

So Luo Zihang continued to guide: "Then do you still remember what time you went out on Christmas Day?"

"At eight-thirty, Uncle Soun was watching the performance of the Heroine Girls. I remember it very clearly."

"So, when did you arrive at Jiuneng's gem exhibition hall?"

"Five twenty-three!" Luanzi replied confidently. She was very confident in her memory. "I happened to look at my watch at that time. There was absolutely no mistake."

Luo Zihang smiled and said, "Excuse me, please drive from Tiandao Detective Agency to the hotel where you are attending the event. After solving the case, go to China Street for lunch, solve the case again, then go to Fenglin Commercial Street for shopping and subdue the robbers, and then go to Jiujiu

Neng’s Gemstone Exhibition Hall...even if you magically encounter no traffic jams on Christmas Day, will nine hours be enough?"

Saotome was stunned for a moment, then frowned tightly.

"And Valentine's Day," Luo Zihang didn't wait for her to understand, and continued: "You encountered a snowstorm at the ski resort in Hokkaido in the morning, and returned to Tokyo in the afternoon... Not to mention whether the plane could take off due to the weather that day,

Just waiting for rescue and taking notes from the police will make it impossible for you to come back during the day, and at least you will have to wait until night before you can get on the plane."

"You...what do you want to say?" Saotome Ranzi asked with a pale face and trembling lips.

After Luo Zihang's reminder, she realized that the things she had experienced were very unreal in terms of time and logic, but she had indeed experienced those things, and it was impossible for her to remember them wrong.

Luo Zihang did not answer immediately, but walked to the cabinet nearby, took out a document, and placed it in front of Saotome Ranzi.

"Actually, there are many more cases like this. I just did a little investigation and found that you and Soun Tendo seem to have the ability to appear at different crime scenes at the same time... I used my connections to join the police

The bureau has reviewed several files, and there are several cases where the time when you appeared overlapped... at least in theory, there will be overlap."

Luanzi looked at the document in front of him and stammered: "It's possible...it's also possible that they wrote it wrong, right! They must have written it wrong!"
To be continued...
