Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1116 The Burning Tent

Yuya was about to get up when he suddenly smelled a faint burnt smell in his nose. He subconsciously sniffed it.

"Do you smell anything? It sounds like something is burning."

Just as everyone was sniffing in confusion, Youye's ears moved and he vaguely heard a rumbling sound, as if something was burning.

He turned his head suddenly, his pupils suddenly shrinking - he saw a tent engulfed in flames.

Danno Kuninori jumped up and exclaimed, "Isn't that Urushihara's tent?!"

"what?"

"No way?"

For a moment, everyone was caught off guard by this scene.

Yuya yelled, "Go get some water!"

Everyone was awakened at this point and ran to the water point at the campsite, using buckets to collect water to put out the fire.

Although everyone moved quickly, they were still a step too late.

Looking at the burnt tent, everyone fell silent.

"Urushi, Urushihara..." Urushihara Shisho's companions stood there in disbelief.

Ayumi tugged at Curacao's clothes in fear: "Sister, how is the big brother in the tent?"

As he said this, he wanted to take a step forward.

Curacao quickly blocked Ayumi behind him and said sternly, "No, you can't go over there."

Ayumi was stunned for a moment, then she vaguely understood something and nodded obediently.

Yuya said in a deep voice: "Mio, call the police."

The tent was burned like this, the people inside were beyond saving and there was no need to call an ambulance.

Miyano Shiho nodded slightly, took out her cell phone, walked to the side, and called Inspector Megure.

However, Inspector Megure happened to have a case to deal with. When he heard Miyano Shiho say that there was a fire here and someone was burned to death, he said that he would notify Inspector Yuminaga, who was in charge of the arson case, to come and take charge.

On this side, Genta and Mitsuhiko were also horrified as they looked at the burnt tent.

Genta asked Mitsuhiko with sweat on his forehead: "Why did this tent catch fire?"

Of course Mitsuhiko didn't know, but he soon discovered a tent nearby that belonged to other tourists.

He immediately suggested going over and asking the people inside, who might have seen what happened during the fire.

The two men ran quickly to the tent and called out loudly to the people inside, but there was no response, so Yuantai patted the tent hard.

After a while, the tent was opened and a white-haired man with a ferocious face walked out.

"Ah! There's a ghost!" Yuan Tai screamed, and Mitsuhiko was also frightened.

"Section Chief Kuroda?"

Yuya turned around, a look of surprise on his face. Wasn't that Kuroda Bei? Why was he here?

Conan was also surprised to see Kuroda Heibei. Isn’t he the head of the Nagano Prefecture Investigation Division 1? How could he appear here?

"Sorry, I was sleeping with earplugs on just now." Kuroda Heibei took out the earplugs from his ears, as if he didn't hear what Genta just said about him thinking he was a ghost. He looked up and glanced around, his eyes fell on the tent that was still smoking, and said slowly, "But the current situation is clear at a glance..."

"So it's best to call the police as soon as possible, right?" Kuroda Heibei suddenly turned around and looked at Wakasa Rumi and said slowly, "Wa... Madam?"

Wa? Yuya's eyes moved. He almost called out Wakasa-sensei's name just now, didn't he?

It’s strange, they should have never seen each other before, so why do they know his name?

Yuya looked at Wakasa Rumi and narrowed his eyes slightly - Wakasa Rumi's face was very ugly, as if she had seen an enemy with whom she had a deep hatred.

Do they know each other?

"Teacher, teacher?" Ayumi shouted loudly several times, but Wakasa Rumi turned a deaf ear to her and continued to stare at Kuroda Heibei.

Ayumi called out a few more times, and Wakasa Rumi finally woke up, but she seemed not to hear who was calling her. She looked left and right, until she turned to the right, she noticed that Ayumi was looking up at her.

? Yuya and Conan narrowed their eyes at the same time. What Wakasa Rumi did just now... can't she see with her right eye?

Otherwise, why didn't she notice until she turned to the right and Ayumi appeared in her sight on the left?

Wakasa Rumi leaned over and asked Ayumi, "What's wrong, Yoshida-san?"

Ayumi pointed at Kuroda Bei and said, "The uncle with the fierce look on his face just now was asking you if you wanted to call the police."

"Huh?" Wakasa Rumi showed a surprised expression.

Kurodabei walked over, looked directly at Wakasa Rumi and asked, "How is it, teacher?"

Wakasa Rumi exclaimed, "If you ask me, that tent just caught fire and someone died. We should have called the police."

"But why are you asking me specifically? I'm not the only adult here, and how do you know I'm a teacher?"

Kurodabei remained expressionless, still looking fierce, and replied, "I just saw you staring at me fiercely just now, and I thought you had something against me."

He laughed at himself, but this smile made his expression even more terrifying: "After all, my face often scares people away, and few people would stare at it like you do."

"I see. That's really rude." Wakasa Rumi smiled awkwardly.

Kuroda continued, "As for his occupation... I heard you call this child Yoshida-kun. Adults usually address children by their names. If they are teachers, they will address them that way in their daily lives due to school habits. That's why I know."

"Is that so?" Wakasa Rumi smiled as if she understood.

At this time, Yuya came over, coughed lightly and asked, "Section Chief Kuroda, why are you here?"

Kurodabei looked at Yuya, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips: "Isn't this Detective Kamiya? What a coincidence to meet you here."

"In fact, I have been transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department to replace Matsumoto Seinaga as the management officer of the First Investigation Division."

"Is this really true?" Yuya was surprised. "What about Manager Matsumoto?"

Kuroda Bei: "He has been promoted to section chief because of his outstanding performance during his tenure."

"Oh, I see." Yuya breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Matsumoto Kiyonaga had been dismissed after his crime was exposed, but it turned out that he was promoted.

It seems that the credits he had received before have accumulated quite a bit. (The original work did not clearly explain his whereabouts due to the death of the voice actor Matsumoto Kiyonaga.)

Kuroda Heibei said with a half-smile, "Detective Kamiya, it seems you're very familiar with Section Chief Matsumoto?"

Yuya smiled faintly: "It's okay, we have cooperated on some cases before..."

"Speaking of which, Kuroda Section...Administrator, why are you here?"

Kurodabei explained, "It was Shiratori. He saw that I was too tired from work recently, so he recommended that I come here to camp and relax."

"You know I just took office not long ago, and there are many things I need to take over personally."

"Oh, I see." Youya suddenly realized that this should not be a lie. After all, Shiratori Renzaburo was old acquaintances with him. If it was a lie, it would be exposed in an instant, so there was no need to do that.

The two of them chatted casually as if nothing had happened.

Conan looked at the two of them in confusion. "No, Yuya, why are you chatting with him?" Kurodabei hasn't ruled out Rum as a suspect yet!

However, he immediately shifted his attention away because he found that when no one else noticed, Wakasa Rumi stared at Kuroda Heibei again.

There was deep hatred in those eyes.
