Case

Situation

The Incident

Heiji is asked by Kasukawa to investigate a man who is lurking near the house of Ryoko Morozumi. An arsonist, dubbed the Red Horse after the red horse figurines he leaves behind at the fires, has been burning precincts in order. With the first three having already experienced a fire, and Ryoko's house being on the fourth precinct, they suspect the strange man to be the arsonist. While Kogoro, Conan, and Heiji stalk the house, it catches fire in the middle of the night.

Arson - Murder
	Location: Morozumi household Victim: Ryoko Morozumi Cause of death: Burning Suspects: Takanori Genda, Misao Soga, Keiko Gondo, and Akira Morozumi

There are four suspected to be the arsonist: A salesmen named Takanori Genda, Ryoko's paramour and a Feng shui reader Misao Soga, Ryoko's sister Keiko Gondo, and Ryoko's husband Akira Morozumi. Since the latter three have established alibi's, this leaves Genda as their prime suspect.

The Investigation

Ran and Kazuha receive a red horse from Genda on the way home. Kogoro realizes that Genda plans to burn the Mouri Detective Agency with Ran and Kazuha in it and rushes home to find out that Genda had been arrested. Ran explains that Genda appeared at the agency asking for the red horse back since it will cause the building to be set ablaze and she called the police due to his strange behavior. Conan and Heiji suspect that while Genda was the cause of the first three fires, the fourth fire might have been created to murder Ryoko while placing the blame on Genda. Conan and Heiji investigate and realize that Genda has been experience psychological problems and that the other three suspects could have manipulated him to cause the fires. They investigate Ryoko's house and realize how the fire was started.

The Resolution

After investigating Genda's home, they found out that there were covert listening devices planted by Soga and Gondo and realize who the culprit is.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

That night, the three culprits enter Genda's house with Soga and Gondo retrieving their listening devices in a Feng Shui vase and zabuton cushion respectively. Apparently they had Genda as a client and committed fraud to trick him into using their services more often. Heiji and Conan confront Akira Morozumi before he could start the fifth fire and declares him as the culprit. They reveal that Akira, Genda's psychiatrist, made him believe he was starting the fire but in reality, the first fire was an accident while the other three were done by Akira. Heiji reveals that Akira started the fourth fire by wrapping a light bulb with sheets of paper and placing a match in between the sheets. When it reached a certain temperature, the match would ignite and start the fire. The evidence to convict him is the fingerprints found on a key lock holder at the scene of the crime owned by Genda. His wife rejected purchasing from Genda when first encountered so he is the only one who could have made the purchase of the Red Hare figurine. Akira emotionally rants he killed his wife because she was having an affair with Soga and more importantly that she refused to have her inherited estate be converted into a new psychiatric clinic. Akira is later arrested and Genda is released from custody.
