Conan: Another Famous Detective

"Oh! Look what I found? A dry battery!" Akira Hattori called Hattori and Conan and came to one of the tufts of grass.

After digging through the grass slightly, Yu Gongming grabbed a dry battery with a handkerchief.

This dry battery was full of cracks, and the contents leaked out along the cracks.

"Huh? There are still some black marks on it... This battery seems to have been burned by something?" Hattori Heiji stared at the battery and muttered for a while, and the next moment his expression suddenly changed!

"Wait a minute, if I guess correctly, is this battery..."

Conan's expression also moved slightly, and a confident smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yu Gongming packed the battery and said with a smile: "I've been wondering, it was raining so heavily and there was no smell of fuel on the deceased. How did the fire get so big?"

"Now it seems the answer is obvious."

"So, this is indeed a well-planned murder case!" Hattori Heiji said calmly.

"So, Kato's last action of grabbing the umbrella was probably hinting at the identity of the murderer!" Conan also said.

"However, we just thought of the secret of the Dragon Scroll from his action of grabbing the umbrella. It's hard to say whether his action pointed to the murderer, or whether he had some obsession with the treasure." Hattori Heiji said. New possibilities are raised.

"I don't think so." Yu Gongming retorted:

"He hadn't died yet, and you asked him what happened. He grabbed your umbrella with all his strength and kept looking at you. He obviously wanted to tell you something."

"From a normal person's point of view, based on the murder method we speculated, he must have realized that he was being harmed by someone."

"After you asked that question, facing a stranger like you, he must have wanted to tell you who killed him."

"That's right." Hattori Heiji nodded slightly.

A few people searched around for a while, but unfortunately, except for the dry battery, they found no clues.

However, the few people were not too disappointed. Anyway, the clues they found before were enough to support them in deducing the method of committing the crime. Now they wanted to find out who the murderer was.

Several people returned to the police.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Toyama Ginshiro asked.

"Well! We have determined that this is not a suicide case, but an outright murder!" Hattori Heiji said calmly.

"Oh? What's going on?" Toyama Ginshiro looked questioning.

Akira Hanomiya handed the dry battery to Toyama Ginshiro and explained: "This is the dry battery we found in the nearby bushes."

Toyama Ginshiro took the dry battery and looked at the damaged dry battery, his expression moved slightly, and a look of thinking flashed in his eyes.

Yu Gongming's voice also sounded in his ears at the same time:

"According to our reasoning, Mr. Kato was tricked onto the roof by someone for some reason."

"Maybe he was looking for something, so he needed a light source."

"He originally planned to use a lighter as lighting, but he suddenly discovered that there was a flashlight on the roof."

"So, without thinking much, he picked up the flashlight and put down the lighter. This was the cause of the fan-shaped mark."

Hattori Heiji took over the conversation at this time: "Unexpectedly, when he turned on the flashlight, the flashlight suddenly exploded violently!"

"Mr. Kato, who was almost at the center of the explosion, was immediately surrounded by flames. Coupled with the flammable clothes he was wearing, the fire was even more out of control."

"So, the debris we found on the roof should actually have been caused by the explosion."

After listening to the two people's accounts, Toyama Ginshiro looked at the dry battery again and nodded slightly: "I see, this does make sense. In this way, it is now a homicide case."

"Well, as for the murderer, he must be someone who covets the treasure, right?" Hattori Heiji said:

"Since Kato brought the tiger-character scroll to the roof with him, it is likely that the murderer deceived him and gave him clues about the treasure there."

"Moreover, the murderer at least knew Kato, otherwise Kato would not have believed him and climbed to the top of the castle tower in the rain at night."

When Hattori Heiji said this, he looked confused: "But what is the meaning of the umbrella Kato was holding before he died..."

At this time, Yu Gongming's cell phone suddenly rang.

Yu Gongming's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out his mobile phone and answered the call: "Hello! Dream Talk?"

A dreamy voice came from the opposite side: "As you expected, that guy took action."

"Oh? Who is the target?" Yu Gongming asked.

"He made an appointment with Miss Katagiri and Mr. Fukushima. He attacked Miss Katagiri first, but she was knocked unconscious by me." Mengyu replied.

"Where are you now? We'll be there right away."

After hearing the location reported by Meng Yu, Yu Gongming hung up the phone.

Seeing Hattori Heiji and others looking at him, Hanomiya Akira smiled and said, "Ah! You're lucky, the murderer has been caught."

"What? The murderer was caught? Who caught him?" Hattori Heiji said in surprise.

"I see. No wonder Sister Mengyu left suddenly. It seems that Brother Yu Gong, you have already had a target of suspicion..." Conan looked astonished.

Yu Gongming smiled and nodded: "Yes! Let's go, you will know when we get to the place."

So, two famous detectives, plus two police officers and several police officers followed Yu Gongming and rushed to the place Meng Yu mentioned.

It was an unobtrusive corner near Osaka Castle Shinbashi Bridge.

Meng Yu stood there holding an umbrella, accompanied by Maho Katagiri who looked frightened.

At Mengyu's feet, there was a man wearing a short-sleeved shirt, carrying a backpack, and lying on an iron pipe.

"You guys came quite quickly!" Meng Yu said with a smile.

Hattori Heiji ran over and looked at the man who fell to the ground: "He is... Wakisaka Shigehiko?"

"Yes, that's him. He was the one who intended to attack Miss Katagiri." Meng Yu nodded slightly.

"Is it him... hmm?" Hattori Heiji suddenly widened his eyes: "So, Kato grabbing my umbrella at the end was actually saying..."

"It refers to Oda Nobunaga's golden horse stick." Akira Hanomiya finished Hattori Heiji's words with a smile.

Hattori Heiji suddenly turned his head, stared at Hanomiya Akira and asked, "When did you know about it?"

"I had already thought of it when He Ye mentioned the horse stick." Yu Gongming said with a smile:

"Actually, I am not sure that Mr. Wakisaka, who played Oda Nobunaga, is the murderer. But since the deceased gave death information pointing to Oda Nobunaga, I have to pay more attention to it."

"So, I asked Mengyu to follow Mr. Wakisaka quietly."

"Now it seems that my judgment was correct."
