It was related to his own star path, reporter Yanase had to sort out his clothes as if nothing had happened and sat on the sofa gracefully: "Let me talk first - talk about it, I saw you on the scene on the night of the fire, and you should have seen me too."

He raised his hand and gestured: "When the fire broke out, I was taking pictures on the viaduct opposite the house. How could I have time to run into his house to set fire?"

Jiang Xia raised his hand and waved. The staff beside him was stunned. He quickly understood and trotted and brought a large photo that the famous detective asked them to prepare just now.

Jiang Xia put the photo in a position where the camera could take, and explained to the audience, including the police, very considerately: "The viaduct looks very far from the scene, but in fact there is a high-speed bus entrance nearby - I tried it yesterday, and it took less than three minutes to arrive at the viaduct from the crime scene."

"On the night of the fire, you came to Mr. Nakai's house and sneaked him out of the back. Then you set up an automatic fire setting device and ran to the overpass opposite.

"When the device starts and the flames ignite, you pretend to pass by and start to take pictures of those 'stop thrilling moments'."

Yanase Takashi squeezed cold sweat in his palm, and had to wrap his arms around him to hide his emotions. He pretended to be calm and continued to preside over: "Automatic setting device? I don't know if there is such a thing. Can you show everyone what it looks like?"

Jiang Xia shook her head: "I'm sorry, the police failed to find the wreckage of that kind of device from the scene afterwards."

Yanase Takaichi's heart fell back to the ground: "Then why do you say I am the murderer?"

Jiang Xia: "Although I didn't find it, we know your method of committing the crime - the thing you used to ignite is quicklime, just like you used when you 'incident' other fire scenes before."

“?!”

The staff heard it and his ears stood up: Could this fire snatcher who just won the grand prize is actually a habitual criminal who set fire?!

The huge news that suddenly hit the head made them confused and excited, and their busy hands seemed to have doubled their speed.

Unlike the backstage full of turbulent waves, Jiang Xia continued slowly in front of the camera: "Fast lime reacts with water and produces calcium hydroxide and releases a lot of heat in the process. Under certain conditions, this temperature can even reach two to three hundred degrees, which is enough to ignite some flammable objects.

"This is your usual way of setting fires - you put the quicklime into the sink of the deceased's house, and then put a bunch of flammable newspapers on it. Then, just unscrew the faucet and let the water slip into the quicklime bit by bit, and a fire will gradually take shape.

"I remember the day before the fire, at your awards ceremony, the dead Mr. Nakai once threatened you with some white powder - now it seems that those powders are quicklime.

"He discovered the secret that you 'always good luck encounters a fire scene' and wanted to use it as a handle, but he was silenced by you before he succeeded."

“…”

Everything is right.

Takaichi Yanase's heartbeat was intensifying: Not long ago, he secretly despised the detective for being unworthy of his name, but now, when the other party really showed his ability to be a "crime nemesis"... he realized that compared to this, he seemed to hope that Jiang Xia would be an embroidered pillow with only reputation and lack of strength.

...He would rather be stepped on by a fake genius with a false appearance than to go to jail and go to jail for dinner.

But now, it seems too late to regret.

"...Calm down, don't run away by him!" The reporter who was so bold that he created the fire scene with his own hands was not an ordinary person after all. Soon he took a deep breath and cheered up.

"It's a very interesting guess." Takaichi Yanase first pretended to applaud, and then said, "But Mr. Detective, didn't you just say that the fire-drawing device had been burned by the fire? - Have you ever thought that your words may hurt some innocent people without evidence?"

This is sharp, but it seems that it does not affect the detective opposite.

The high school student just smiled at him and raised his hand to the side.

The familiar scene reappeared, and the staff trotted up again and handed over a few magnified photos like posters.

Jiang Xia, like a teacher who organized pictorials, gathered the stack of photos and placed them in the place just now.

Takaichi Yanase looked carefully and frowned in confusion: "Isn't this the photo of Mr. Nakai falling from the building that I took? Why did you take it out?"

Jiang Xia took the instruction point handed over by the staff and pointed to the background on the right rear of the reporter Nakamori: "Although it is not obvious, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find a mirror here."

The director quickly pushed his glasses and looked at the photo. However, his eyes almost jumped out, and he didn't notice where the mirror was.

Jiang Xia seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago. He revealed this photo and revealed another one below: "This is a picture after being enlarged and processed."

"Oh!" Everyone nodded, "There is indeed a mirror!"

Jiang Xia looked at Takaichi Yanase: "You are very good at chemistry, but you don't seem to care much about physical details - unfortunately, from the place where you took pictures, the position and angle of the mirror can reflect the pool at Mr. Nakai's home."

He pointed to the enlarged pool in the photo again: "At this time, the metal kitchen counter has not been damaged to the point of complete deformation, and it can be seen that the faucet has been turned on a little."

"Ha." Takashi Yanase retorted, "What can that mean? Can't Mr. Nakai forget to Guanshui himself? - This has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Xia did not argue with him, but turned to his wrist: "I remember at the awards ceremony a few days ago, in addition to the trophy, you also received a gold watch as a commemoration."

"?!" Yanase Takashi's heart skipped a beat and subconsciously covered his empty wrist.

Jiang Xia reached out to reveal the photo of the pool, revealing a close-up that was further enlarged below - a watch that was burnt to pieces but still had many details.

Jiang Xia: "I asked the organizer. What you got at the award ceremony is a specially customized gold watch that is unique in the whole world."

"On the night of the fire, after you knocked Mr. Nakai out, you went to the kitchen counter to make an ignition device.
