Seeing that the police didn't believe him, Nagara Haruka frowned. "I really felt it. Please make sure someone checks it out. By the way, I am the famous fortune teller Nagara Haruka."

"The fortune teller, Nagayoshi?" The policeman looked bewildered.

"Oh, right, my master is the Onmyoji Akaso-sama." Nagara Haruka quickly brought up his backstage background.

"What? Lord Chichu?"

The policeman's eyes widened immediately.

Akatsuka Kaze is a golden brand of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

There wasn't a single case he was involved in that he couldn't solve.

The policeman turned around and shouted, "Reporting, Officer Gong Chang! Lord Chi Chuo says there's a body here!"

He simply omitted the word "apprentice".

"What?!" Officer Gong, who was discussing the case with his subordinates, was startled upon hearing this and quickly came over.

Nagara Haruka offered an explanation.

Officer Gong Chang quickly ordered his men to shovel away the ashes, and sure enough, they found the body inside.

Officer Gong stared at the charred corpse, his pupils contracting, and he gritted his teeth with a grave expression.

"In the fourth arson case, the victim has finally come forward."

Officer Gong Chang squatted on the ground, his eyes fixed on the human corpse hidden in the ashes. A subordinate from his team asked, "Officer Gong Chang, what do we do next?"

Officer Yukichi was silent for a few seconds, then stood up and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Contact Inspector Megure immediately and have him send people over to investigate! Now that someone has died, it's not just a matter of investigating a fire anymore."

Chapter 450 Sato Miwako's level is not good.

"Okay, I'll contact Inspector Megure right away!"

The subordinate responded and ran off quickly, while Officer Gong waved his hand, signaling the forensic team to continue their investigation of the scene.

Officer Yumikazu said very politely to Nagara Haruka, "This case is very complicated. Could you please assist us with the investigation?"

This was the first time Nagara Haruka had ever witnessed such a scene, and the first time a police officer had treated her so politely. She immediately felt incredibly honored to be Akatsuka Kaze's apprentice.

"Of course, but I need to call my master first."

"Please do as you wish. If it is convenient, please give my regards to Lord Chichu."

Officer Gong Chang's attitude became even more amiable.

A few minutes later, Chi Chufeng put down his phone, looked at the unknown soul that had appeared in his space, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This apprenticeship paid off; it brought him success the very next day.

He cast a spatial gate, connecting a magical thread from his soul to Nagara Haruka's body.

This way, she can use her prediction spell once a day.

Metropolitan Police Department First Investigation Division, Violent Crime Investigation Unit 3.

Conan listened intently to Ayumi's description, while across from him, Miwako Sato was drawing the culprit's appearance based on Ayumi's description.

"It looks a bit like a fox," Ayumi recalled, lifting the corner of her eye with two fingers, "and like this, its eyes slant upwards!"

"Fox eyes."

The image of the culprit vaguely appeared in Conan's mind.

Wearing a long coat, gloves, and a hat on a sweltering day, with the smell of gasoline still lingering on his pants, his messy long hair pressed under the brim of his hat, and a fox-like face grinning eerily.

According to Ayumi, the man appeared in an alley near the fire scene last night. He was a strange uncle who was saying strange things, and he should be the arsonist.

With these clues, the police should have little difficulty in the search, but the area is still too large, and they have no idea where the arsonist will appear next.

Officer Sato finished drawing the portrait and happily showed it to everyone: "Is this it? Does it look like me?"

When Conan first saw the portrait, he was almost startled by Sato's handwriting, and the image that had appeared in his mind collapsed.

"Is that so?"

“It doesn’t look like it at all.” Ayumi shook her head in distress.

The faces of the excited Genta and the others immediately fell: "It's so ugly."

"It looks just like a child's doodle."

"Aren't there any other people who can draw well?"

"What can I do?" Sato Miwako said, her face flushed. "Mr. Shigawa, who specializes in portrait painting, is on sick leave today!"

"It seems the only way is to go to the site and take a look; maybe we can find some clues."

Conan stroked his chin, thinking, "Anyway, Akashi Kaze won't be involved in solving this case, so I feel like I have plenty of time. There's no pressure at all..."

Jingle Bell.

Miwako Sato answered the phone.

"Hey? What? A body was found in the ashes? Who found it? Chi Chusang's apprentice?"

Conan, standing next to him, looked completely bewildered.

What the hell?

Chi Chufeng has a disciple?

A body was also found at the scene.

I have a bad feeling about this.

I can't possibly be worse than his apprentice, can I...?

In the evening, Takagi and Shiratori were summoned by Inspector Megure to Shinagawa to apprehend a long-haired man suspected of arson, leaving Miwako Sato to continue investigating the scene of the fire.

Conan and his friends, along with Miwako Sato, found the scene of the fire.

Several Kamen Rider toy machines were parked nearby, next to an alleyway, and across the alleyway was the location where the fire started.

Unfortunately, the surveillance cameras in the nearby shops couldn't capture this area, so they couldn't verify Ayumi's claim about the arsonist.

"If that guy keeps committing crimes, he'll probably set fire somewhere today too, right?"

Conan, holding a map, marked the five consecutive fire scenes.

The first case was in Ikebukuro, then Asakusabashi, followed by Tabata and Shimokitazawa, and finally Yotsuya, where they were investigating. Apart from all being near the station, there was really no connection between them.

........ ......... ...

He then connected them together with a string and looked at them: "Connecting them with a string, they are just ordinary trapezoids, without any regularity."

Genta and the others gathered around: "It looks a bit like a tadpole."

"It should look more like a spoon, right?"

"A spoon?" Conan examined the map again.

"Whether it's tadpoles or spoons, the order of setting the fire is wrong, isn't it? It seems the criminal didn't set the fire along adjacent areas."

"We're clearly in the fifth place, but we're in the middle of the other places. And the third and fourth places are too far away. It's like we're just scribbling on a map."

Conan asked Sato helplessly, "Officer Sato, have Officer Shiratori and the others caught the arson suspect?"

Miwako Sato took out her phone and made a call, then said, "They have already arrested the suspect who fled at Shinagawa Station, but he keeps saying that he is not the arsonist, but just a burglar."

She saw a shop with a security camera in front of it not far away, and as she got out of the car, she said, "You guys wait here, I'll go see if there are any clues."

Chapter 451 Yoko Okino wants to create a scandal about our relationship?

Not long after Sato Miwako left, Ayumi, sitting in the back seat, suddenly gasped, looking at the crowd on the street with a terrified expression, "That person..."

Conan asked, "What's wrong?"

"That's the weird uncle from yesterday," Ayumi said fearfully, pointing to a long-haired man in the crowd.

Wearing a hat but no eye-catching coat, he walked along the street with his hands in his pockets like an ordinary person.

The long-haired man disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye, and Conan and the others quickly followed.

Conan frowned.

It is not yet certain whether the man was carrying a gun, but based on the fourth incident, it is certain that he had a knife.

"Strange, where did they go? There are alleys everywhere."

The children lost sight of the long-haired man as soon as they turned the corner.

"Come quick, Conan, over here!" Ayumi and the others crowded around an alleyway, waving to Conan repeatedly and whispering, "The arsonist is inside, he's already set it on fire!"

Conan looked across the alley and saw a long-haired man in front of an old wooden warehouse. He lit a pile of newspapers, and flames surged up, instantly leaping onto the dilapidated warehouse.

This guy is definitely an arsonist.

Conan quickly dialed the police, but when he turned around, the criminal was gone.

"Crackling!" The raging flames brought intense heat, mixed with the pungent smell of kerosene.

A long-haired man suddenly appeared beside the children, grinning maliciously.
