Conan: This repairman doesn't quite embody the essence of Conan (1-426).

Summary

In this chapter, Conan and his companions investigate a suspicious fire that may have been deliberately set. They analyze the positioning of a red hare and the timing of the fire, suspecting it was ignited using a bright light to create a shadow effect. They interview a child who witnessed the fire and discover a broken light bulb as crucial evidence. Officer Gong Chang reveals that the suspect, Xuan Tian, claims to have mental issues and may not be the true arsonist, as he was recommended to a psychiatrist by a feng shui master connected to the case. The group discusses the pattern of the arson cases, linking them to a potential serial arsonist and the psychological manipulation involved. They conclude that the suspects might have conspired to frame Xuan Tian while exploring the relationships between the involved parties.
