Chapter 371: Don't run around in the rain
At the site of the Osaka Bliss Bridge incident, only Fukushima, a long-faced young man, came back with an umbrella, and the other two have not been heard from.
"What? Miss Katagiri fell into the river and died? ”
Fukushima learned the news from the police and looked at the cloth-covered corpse next to him in disbelief.
"Why did Miss Katagiri set herself on fire?"
"How do you know that Katagiri is setting herself on fire?" Gao Cheng interrupted Fukushima with a photo, "No one said that just now, right?" ”
"This," Fukushima broke out in a cold sweat, "because, because Mr. Jiaten set himself on fire, I thought it was ......."
Gao Cheng didn't ask, handed the photo to Fukushima and said, "Do you know all the people here?" ”
It was a group photo, in the middle of which was a bald old man with glasses holding a complete dragon scroll in his hand, followed by 3 young people, and a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"This is ......," Fukushima looked at the photo in surprise, "aren't the two on the right Mr. Kato and Ms. Katagiri?" Although they are both young, the one next to me seems to be Mr. Hirano, and I don't know the remaining two......"
"Mr. Hirano?"
"It's the promoter of this tour group, we all met on Mr. Hirano's website, and then we decided to travel together, and he also came up with the game, but he didn't come to the game before he left......
"I see."
Gao Cheng returned the photo to Officer Otaki, and the details in his whole mind seemed to be connected into a line.
As he thought, this case was really not so simple, not like a dispute over treasure, but like revenge for the charred corpse case thirteen years ago.
In this way, the charred corpse found a while ago is likely to be the Hirano in the photo.
In the past murder case of magic enthusiasts, the group of people were also connected through the Internet, and the organizer had been killed at home before the incident, but this time it may not be impossible, and the murderer used Hirano's identity to organize activities after killing Hirano......
Of course, conjecture is one thing, and it needs to be carefully verified.
Gao Cheng turned around, only to find that Hattori and Conan, who had been on the side, didn't know when they were gone.
"Heiji ran away with Conan just now," He Ye said with a slightly red face, "I think he must already know who the murderer is......"
"Huh?"
"Because, Pingji's face has a radiant expression again."
And Ye Hong puffed and smiled sweetly.
Gao Cheng looked in the direction of He Ye and found that it was the direction of the hotel where the long-faced young man came.
The two of Hattori should have gone to the hotel where the tour group stayed to find someone, but the remaining two would just be in the hotel?
After thinking about it, Gao Cheng turned to Officer Otaki and asked, "Officer, there should still be people staring at Mr. Bad House, right?" Can you tell me the location of the bad house? ”
"Huh?" Otaki's eyes widened in surprise, and he almost asked Gao Cheng how he would know.
Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Since the police are easy to startle snakes, it is better to let me try." ”
Otaki's face hesitated: "But ......"
Gao Cheng said seriously: "It's better than Hattori and them going on an adventure, rest assured, I have enough self-protection ability." ”
"Okay, okay." Otaki looked at the young but very convincing Gao Cheng in a daze, and nodded without knowing what was going on.
……
The streets of Osaka were a little cold and wet due to the rain, and unlike the bustle of the crime scene, there were few people on the streets.
Hattori and Conan gasped and ran to the Seven Guns Hotel, where the tour group was staying, and hurried out into the street to look for people, anxiously seeing the old man of the bad house appearing across the road with an umbrella, not like going to the castle tower, nor like going back to the hotel.
Conan immediately took out an earring-shaped phone to call the police, but was stopped by Hattori.
"Don't fight," Hattori said with a smile, "The police will startle the snake when they come, and if they don't do it, they will escape again, and now the door to the truth should only be opened by us!" ”
"Hey, Hattori!"
Conan didn't have time to stop when he saw Hattori chase after him over the railing, and he had no choice but to follow.
Just after the two left, a group of tall figures with fierce faces walked out of the streets and alleys, many strong men with big shoulders and round waists and strong physiques, even if they were thin, they all exuded a dangerous aura, which would stare at Conan The two figures showed a cold sneer, looking at their prey.
The old man finally walked into an abandoned factory with no people, and with the tracking of Conan Hattori, a group of murderers were unhurriedly monitoring behind, and a man in a flower shirt with a scar leaned against the scrap car outside the factory, a tall figure like an artificial man was full of oppression, with a cruel and fierce light in his small eyes, and the faces of his companions around him were also full of dangerous smiles.
Suddenly, the long-haired young man who was looking at the wind behind him frowned, and looked at the figure walking across the container suspiciously.
"Shhhhh The young man tilted his head and motioned for his companion to look at the visitor.
At the age of a high school student, with a wooden knife in his hand, he walked through the drizzle as if he didn't see them......
The young man and his companions looked at each other, and with a playful look on their faces, they stepped forward to stop the young man: "Boy, didn't your mother tell you not to run around when it rains?" ”
Gao Cheng stopped, his eyes swept over the young man and the gang of murderers behind him, and noticed the gun handle faintly bulging between the other party's shirts.
It seems that these people are the robber accomplices contacted by the old man of the bad house......
The fingers tightened slightly, and at the moment when the young man approached, the wooden knife in Gao Cheng's hand was thrown out violently, and an afterimage slashed across the young man's body.
"W-What?!" The ridicule on the faces of the murderers suddenly subsided, and they looked at Gao Cheng who was waving a wooden knife high, and when the young man fell straight up, revealing Gao Cheng's fierce gaze, his face changed in an instant.
"Look for death!"
"Stinky boy!"
Almost at the same time that the young man fell to the ground, Gao Cheng lowered his center of gravity and quickly stepped on the puddle of water to rush towards the murderer, seeing a black pistol pointed at him, his body was like a wind, and the wooden knife in his hand slashed through the crowd like an arc of lightning.
Bang bang bang!
The water droplets exploded, as if they had stopped in mid-air for a moment, and the next moment all the robbers bounced off, and as Gao Cheng collapsed his knife and passed out in the drizzle, the pistol also fell to the ground.
……
Inside the abandoned factory, compared to the chaos outside, the inside is quite calm, and only the third floor of the elevated highway is faintly lit in the dark environment.
The old man climbed up to the third floor with the help of a lighter, and immediately saw Wakisaka squinting and standing next to a barrel that was on fire.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Wakisaka."
"Nope."
Wakisaka scratched at the back of his head and pointed to the section of the elevated volley sticking out in the air.
"The stuff is there, in that box......"
"I see."
The old man walked to the box that Wakisaka said, and found that the light was dim, and he couldn't tell what was a lot of things with a lighter alone, and there was a flashlight next to it.
"Just use that flashlight to illuminate," Wakisaka added with squinted eyes, "It's easy to find the Toranomaki you want......"
"Can't turn on the switch!"
Hattori walked up to the elevated highway and reminded with a chuckle, "If you turn on the flashlight, you will definitely be burned black, just like Mr. Kato, who caught fire on the roof of the Osaka Castle Castle Tower...... Am I right, Mr. Wakisaka? ”
Bad House and Wakisaka turned their heads together to look at Hattori who appeared.
"Could it be that Mr. Kato was ......?" asked Bad House in surprise.
"That's right," Hattori looked directly at the silent Wakisaka, "the murderer who killed Mr. Kato and Miss Katagiri one after another is Mr. Wakisaka." ”
