【Chapter 242】The surviving suspect

"So, Brother Maori, you're near the scene of the crime again, right?" Officer Twilight put a hat on his finger, expressing the helplessness and sadness in his heart.

Helplessly, every time I was at the scene of the crime, I could see the Maori brother.

Sadly, both the Maori brother and the victim are really pitiful!

The wet Maori Kogoro could only smile awkwardly, he was used to it, whether it was a case that followed him or the helplessness of Officer Dusk.

"Well, let's retell the testimony given by the Maori brother," Officer Twilight flipped through his notes, "and you were dining with someone else in a nearby room when you heard an explosion, and shortly after, the fire extinguishing system started to kick in, right?" ”

"Yes, I walked out of the room and saw a twisted door appear in the hallway, and then I rushed to the room where the accident occurred and found three people, two of them lying on the ground, and one person was very badly injured, but he still crawled to the door of the room."

Conan added, "Of the three, one is wearing a chef's suit, and the other is wearing a waiter's suit, so they should all be hotel staff. ”

"I see, by the way, Conan-kun, why aren't you wet?" Officer Twilight asked.

Conan's old face flushed: "Yes...... It was Sister Xiaolan who put her coat on me. ”

The hotel has arranged some high-end rooms and professional service staff, and guests who get wet are in various rooms to wipe their clothes or take a shower. Suddenly, this happened, and the hotel handled it satisfactorily, so no one was unhappy with the hotel, but the news of the explosion that killed people circulated among customers.

In one of the guest rooms, Dr. Asasa and three boys are taking a shower. Because their clothes were all soaked, they had to put on their bathrobes for the time being, while they notified their families to send them.

David was on his way to get there, and because the cause of the explosion had not yet been investigated, Ashbara could not go back to get Dr. Asasa's clothes. So, Ji Haihong asked David to give Dr. Asa a whole set of clothes on the way.

"What an accident, I didn't expect to take a free shower when I ate." Mitsuhiko walked out of the bathroom and wiped his hair with a white towel.

"If the fire extinguishing system counts once, it's the second time it's a free bath." Ji Haihong, who was idle and bored, sat on a chair and watched TV.

Yuan Tai was very depressed: "Really, I haven't eaten yet." ”

"That's all because Yuan Tai only cared about drinking drinks before, and didn't have time to eat." Mitsuhiko complained.

"Have you washed everyone?" Dr. Asasa walked out of the bathroom.

Luckily, the bathroom was big enough for everyone to go in and take a shower together. The floor they are on has been designated as a dedicated floor by the hotel, so all the rooms here are available to customers who get wet, and it's no big deal to just go out and walk in a bathrobe.

"I don't know if Sister Xiaolan has washed them?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"Why don't we go find them!" Motota proposed.

"It's so rude, if you don't get an invitation, you can go to a girl's room casually, and you'll be hated." Ji Haihong behaved very much like an adult.

"I'm so sorry!"

Picking up a clean towel, Ji Haihong was about to go out for a walk, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Gray Yuan who raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.

"Gray Plains? What are you...... Got a shower? ”

Although Gray Yuan was still wearing her original clothes, her hair was still steaming, and her skin was like congealed cream, like a bun that had just come out of the pot.

Well, this kind of example is really inappropriate, it's like a steamed bun just out of the pot.

"Why hasn't your hair been wiped clean?" Ji Haihong spread the towel on the soft tea hair, pressed it lightly with both hands, and carefully helped her dry the water droplets.

"Wow, you two are really close, elementary school students, oh hehehe!" Yuanzi and Xiaolan appeared behind Gray Plains - or they were actually behind Gray Plains all along.

Hearing the joke of the garden, the distracted gray plain reacted. She covered Ji Haihong's face with a towel, pushed him into the room, and then left with a red face.

"Roar Roar Roar ......" The gossip garden is even happier, maybe this is what she will discuss with her classmates in class next week.

"Don't make trouble in the garden, has Ji Haihong washed it? The hotel provides free drink service, just take a shower must be very thirsty, let everyone go together! ”

This hotel service is really thoughtful.

……

"The two deceased, both male, the guest Nagasawa Hao is a frequent visitor to the Rice Flower Hotel, his profession is related to the stock market and finance, and he has a rich net worth, this time he came to the Rice Flower Hotel and ordered a performance package, that is, the chef uses a mobile stove to cook in the guest room, and there will be a fancy cooking show; Chef Yue Zhiren, who has worked at the Rice Flower Hotel for five years, is a professional chef who often provides live cooking and performance services to guests, and the injured person, a male, is a hotel service staff named Xiao Shan Lian. Officer Takagi reports to Officer Twilight.

"What about the cause of the explosion?"

"It should be that the gas pipeline of the natural gas tank becomes loose and leaks, and it explodes instantly when it encounters an open flame."

"So, it was an accident?"

"Not necessarily." Shinsumi Sera walked towards the police wearing a bathrobe and a towel in his hand.

"You're the ......" Officer Takagi squinted for a moment, "Female high school detective?" ”

"It turns out that Mr. Police Officer still remembers me, oops, what an honor." Sera said with a smile.

Officer Twilight seized on the topic: "Why do you think it's not necessarily an accident?" ”

"You can guess it, if it's Conan-kun."

At this time, people's attention turned to Conan, who was carefully observing the remains of the gas tank collected by the forensic department.

"You kid, you're here to obstruct adults in the performance of their official duties!" Uncle Maori didn't hesitate to throw Conan aside.

"Haha," Shiliang Zhenchun said, "Actually, when this liquefied gas tank first leaks, even if it encounters an open flame, it will only burn, not explode immediately, unless the gas tank in the house has already leaked and the combustible gas has filled the room, it will explode immediately, or else, the oxygen concentration in the room can just form a proper proportion with the combustible gas, and it can also explode quickly, but this phenomenon is very rare." ”

Conan didn't say anything, he just looked at the wreckage of the liquefied gas tank that had been blown to pieces, large and small, being removed from the room by Forensic Section personnel one by one and placed on the plastic paper mat laid in the hallway. In addition, some plastic items used in the stove and broken bottles and cans were also cleared from the room.

"In short, we will not be able to determine whether this was an accident or a homicide until the official investigation report comes out, but we have also investigated the victim's social information in detail and found an important thing."

"What's the matter?" Mori Kogoro asked.

Officer Twilight stroked his beard: "Is it just a coincidence that the injured Xiaoshan Lian divorced his wife because of a loss in stock trading, and the guest who was killed was engaged in stock finance?" ”

Hearing this, both Sera and Conan thought carefully.

"So, what about the chef who was blown up?" Mori Kogoro asked.

"This ...... The chef does not have any investment behavior, he has a daughter at home who needs a lot of money to treat her illness, so his colleagues and bosses around him take good care of him, and he has a good reputation among colleagues, he is honest and kind, and there is no conflict with anyone. Officer Twilight replied.

"Hmph, hum," Mori Kogoro said proudly, "Officer Twilight, it's obvious, this is obviously a murder case, according to my reasoning, Koyama Lian must have a grudge against Nagasawa because of the loss of stock speculation, maybe his loss has something to do with Nagasawa Hao?" The stocks he bought after following Nagasawahao's advice fell but did not rise, but Nagasawa Hao did not lose anything, but made a fortune by speculating in stocks, so he held a grudge or something......"

"I see, Maori brother, you really are a great detective!" Officer Twilight immediately orders Officer Takagi to investigate the relationship between Ryoshi Koyama and Hiroshi Nagasawa.

Conan is very helpless, this is obviously nonsense, Uncle Maori's ability to talk nonsense has increased a lot, and he is still a detective, it's really embarrassing.

But what he didn't expect was that it didn't take long for him to be slapped in the face.

"Really?" Conan is unbelievable (just).

According to Officer Takagi's investigation, Koyama and Nagasawa really have a financial relationship, and Nagasawa usually plays the role of a creditor to lend Koyama to loan sharks, and sometimes chats with Koyama Lian and tells him some tips about stock trading. According to the introduction of Xiao Shan Lian and Nagasawa Hao's friends, Xiao Shan Lian believed in Nagasawa Hao very much, and he also made a small profit, but later lost money in stock speculation, and he couldn't repay the loan, so he sold the house. His wife also divorced him for this reason. Instead of buying the stocks he recommended to Koyama, Nagasawa Hao bought other stocks and made a fortune.

According to the testimony of Koyama's colleague, Koyama once had a big fight with Nagasawa Hao and threatened to kill him. But I don't know why, later he took the gift and personally came to the door to apologize to Chang Zehao, and later served Chang Zehao. As long as Nagasawa Hao came to the Rice Flower Hotel, he asked for Xiaoshan Lian's service. In the eyes of his colleagues, Nagasawa Hao has a bad character, and he treats Xiao Shan Lian very roughly, and he has never felt guilty, I don't know why Xiao Shan Lian is so good to Nagasawa Hao.

"It's really pitiful," said one of the hotel staffers, "that Yue Zhiren was very kind to his family and took great care of his daughter, but he died in the explosion, but maybe his daughter's illness could be cured." ”

"Why do you say that?" Hearing Officer Takagi read this sentence, Officer Twilight asked.

Because Yue Zhiren bought himself a huge accident insurance a long time ago, he said that he was prone to fire when he worked in the kitchen, and in case of an unfortunate accident, he could also leave hope for his daughter. Officer Takagi explained.

――――TBC――――

Is the person who killed Hiroshi Nagasawa Ryoyama who has hatred for him, or Koshiji Ren, who has invested in a huge amount of insurance? Uncle Maori actually solved the case independently? Details determine success or failure: How do Conan and Sera find out the truth? Stay tuned!

PS: It's been busy lately, really busy, busy! So the update is unstable, but when you are idle later, you will definitely put the one chapter in arrears (maybe two chapters?). Three chapters? Make it up! Hahahaha...... (Wicked laughs)

PPS: "When the Cicada Cries" is really sadistic, more abusive than the old void, but the second "When the Cicada Cries" is very inspirational and healing, as for the later really healing side stories "The Rite of the Cicada" and "The Time of the Cicada" are simply laughing to death.

Alas, the OP lyrics of the second part are really tearful, so let's experience it slowly in combination with the plot.

Another: The first part of "Chilling Cicada" is no longer available on station B, but you can watch it in the area of station B, please see the video comment area for details, there is a way to enter the area, hehehe......
