Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"Was there anyone else at that time?" Hattori asked repeatedly by the Shimbashi River.

"It seems that there is a person standing at the end of the bridge, but that person came from behind us..."

He Ye and Xiaolan explained together.

"We saw the lighter, it should have been lit by herself..."

"Lighter again?"

Hattori frowned, looked at Gao Cheng who was examining the corpse and asked, "Kito, I remember you found a burnt dry battery, right?"

"Yes," Gao Cheng stood up from the corpse, "It looks like it should have fallen from the roof of the castle tower, but the specific situation needs to be investigated by forensic personnel... The question now is what happened to Ms. Katagiri? If It would be too..."

"Could it be a curse?" He Ye held Xiaolan's arm in fear, "It's almost like a voice telling them to commit suicide..."

"Stupid! How could such a thing happen?!"

Hattori rushed to the corpse of Katagiri unwillingly, gritted his teeth and grabbed his coat to look through it.

"I don't believe I can't find it. There must be evidence to prove that the deceased was killed!"

"Hey! Heiji!"

Otaki was sweating profusely, trying to stop Hattori from making trouble, when a tall figure suddenly walked beside Hattori, grabbed Hattori, and punched Hattori heavily in the face.

"Ben, the head of the department?!"

"Dad?"

Hattori fell heavily to the ground, clutching his injured face and looking at the tall Hattori Hirazo in disbelief.

"Heiji," Hattori Hiramura said seriously, narrowing his eyes slightly, "I have to choose a place if I'm confused! Do you understand how much trouble will be caused to our police if we destroy the scene? At least learn from Kido detective..."

Gao Cheng stared stiffly at the majestic Hattori Hirzo.

He had been hearing about the head of the police in Osaka Prefecture before. He had heard that his reasoning ability was extremely strong, and that he was a very powerful kendo master. Hattori Heiji's black charcoal face and kendo talent were inherited from this uncle.

When I met at Hattori's house these days, I felt quite harsh.

Even if Hattori solved the Naniwa Gymnasium case yesterday, he still couldn't convince the department with compliments from outsiders... This would be even more terrifying...

"Mr. Hattori," Uncle Mori kindly persuaded, "Heiji just wants to use his own method to solve the case as soon as possible..."

"Ok?!"

Hattori Hirazo looked back seriously, his expression startled the uncle, and he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"No, nothing, haha..."

"Mr. Mori," Hattori Hirazo said slightly, "it may be so to you, but in my opinion, this kid is not investigating the case at all, but making trouble. He is named a high school detective. , I don’t know how arrogant I am, this kind of random way of collecting evidence will only disrupt the police’s investigation work, and it will not help the case at all except destroy the scene!”

Hattori lowered his head, although he did not refute, but clenched his teeth tightly.

"Okay," Hattori Hirazo finally said coldly, "There is no need for a layman like you here, disappear immediately!"

"Headquarters," Police Officer Otaki looked at Hattori who had been sitting silently on the ground, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "That's too much to say, Heiji..."

"Otaki!" Yuan Shan grabbed his subordinate, shook his head, and whispered, "Have you forgotten? Didn't I just tell you to follow that man?"

"what?"

"Otaki," Hattori Hirazo ignored his son and approached the corpse to examine, "Are these two incidents murders?"

"Well," Otaki felt that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, but he still explained carefully, "In the case of Mr. Kato falling from the roof of the castle tower with his whole body on fire, we have already detected his fingerprints from the lighter placed on the roof. , In addition, there are dry batteries found by Kido detectives nearby, and the source cannot be determined at present..."

"What about the second one?" Hattori Heizo interrupted and asked.

"In the case of Ms. Katagiri, and Ye and the others saw Ms. Katagiri igniting herself, and then fell from the bridge into the river," Otaki analyzed, "Although there are still some doubts that have not been clarified, it seems that the two deceased are both dead. Possibly a suicide..."

Hearing the words, Hattori Heizo ordered: "In this case, it is enough to leave two or three criminal police here. Toyama, we can go. The police are not free enough to waste so much manpower on such a small case..."

Gao Cheng looked at Hattori Hirazo in surprise.

No matter what, it can't be so casual, can it? At any rate, two people died, and it was related to the previous charred corpse case. How could it be so rashly concluded that it was suicide?

Hattori Hirazo doesn't look like that kind of confused policeman...

"Well, Mr. Hattori, about these two cases..."

"Detective Kido," Hattori Hirakuro stopped in his tracks, opened his eyes slightly and looked at Gaocheng, "Inuzi has caused you trouble."

"what?"

Gao Cheng stared blankly at Hattori Hirazo leaving, and suddenly felt a cold gaze from the crowd, and a figure disappeared with Hattori Hirazo leaving.

The old man's bad house call echoed in Gao Cheng's mind again...

It turned out to be like this, only when the police force is reduced, the guys hiding in the dark will show their feet.

The purpose of the police is the bad house and the group of people behind the bad house. From this point of view, the bad house is likely to be the robber who escaped thirteen years ago.

Gao Cheng frowned slightly.

Involving Toyotomi Hideyoshi's treasure, the charred corpse case that reappeared 13 years later seemed to be more complicated than he imagined, and even the police were so careful...

Officer Otaki stayed at the scene of the crime, and comforted Hattori who was sitting in the rain, "You don't have to be sad, Heiji, I think the chief must be angry because two people died in front of the headquarters. of."

Uncle Mao Li didn't understand: "No matter what, there's no need to hit people..."

"Maybe it's because of other things," Gao Cheng approached with an umbrella, "After the charred corpse case thirteen years ago, robbers murdered one after another. This time, those robbers may have appeared again."

"robber?"

"That's right," Officer Otaki said solemnly, "A total of seven people were killed at that time, and the murderer is still on the run."

"So, Hattori's father thinks that the murderer is the ruthless robber, because he is worried about Hattori so he is not allowed to intervene in this case?"

"Hmph!" Hattori wiped the corner of his mouth and stood up, "I'm not afraid. If I get punched by someone, I will definitely return it with both hands! I must find out the real culprit in front of him!"

Gao Cheng looked at the energetic Hattori, his brows still not untied.

There was more than one robber, and the possibility of such a vicious guy carrying a gun was not low. He couldn't deal with a guy like Hattori who likes to rush when his head gets hot.

This guy and Conan are all strange reasoning madmen who forget the danger even in order to solve the case...

"The people from the three tour groups haven't come back yet?" Gao Cheng asked, "If you want to find out the real culprit, you must ask them first, the culprit may be among them..."

"But is there really a murderer?" Dalong wondered, "No matter how I think about it, I think it's suicide. Kazuba and the others also saw it. At that time, Ms. Katagiri lit the fire herself."

"That's right," He Ye and Xiao Lan affirmed, "We saw her struggling in pain when the fire broke out, there is absolutely no mistake!"

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Sometimes what the eyes see is not necessarily true, it may also be what the murderer wants others to see. First of all, you must make sure that what you see is really Ms. Katagiri?"

"this……"

He and Ye looked at each other, a little uncertain.

"The sky was so dark at the time, you shouldn't be able to see clearly," Gao Cheng looked at the bridge and said, "And you didn't see the whole process of Miss Katagiri falling from the bridge into the water, did you?"

"It's true that we didn't see it, but after she fell, we ran to the bridge immediately..."

He Ye carefully simulated the location where the crime happened, and then dragged Xiao Lan to the place where the body was found in the middle of the bridge.

"It's here, I saw that Miss Katagiri is burning up on the water!"

"That means you don't see the middle part."

Gao Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Because of being a criminal, I have read a lot of magic books. This kind of blind spot often appears in magic. Because I can't see it, I subconsciously make up for it through the front and back of my brain, but... are they really the same person?"

"Magic?" Okita and his party were taken aback by the words, especially the students from the Kendo Club, as if they were watching a detective version of Okita.

Different from the kendo competition, he was full of temperament and convincing, and suddenly became the center of the scene...

"So that's how it is," Hattori also thought of the special technique in magic, and looked at Gaocheng in surprise, "Kito, you mean Kazuha and the others saw the murderer pretending to be Ms. Katagiri?"

"It's just a possibility..."

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "You should have discovered it too? There are several identical marks printed on Miss Katagiri's coat under the right armpit. If they are blood stains, is Miss Katagiri's death really caused by hitting a bridge pier?"

Hattori's face glowed brightly: "That's right, if Miss Katagiri was beaten to death, then the blood should be left by the murderer who was stained with blood accidentally."

"Officer Otaki!" A police officer suddenly shouted, "We found a similar piece of pottery on Miss Katagiri!"

"What?" Otaki looked shocked, "Another fragment?!"

"And this." The policeman handed a photo to Otaki.

Gao Cheng followed to look at the photo, his brows twitching.

The murderer will kill again, and it must be tonight...
