Chapter 370: The Next Target

"Was there anyone else at the time?" By the Shimbashi River, Hattori asked questions repeatedly.

"It looks like there's a guy standing at the bridge, but that guy came behind us......"

Explain with Ye and Xiaolan.

"We saw a lighter, it was supposed to be a ...... she lit herself"

"Lighters again?"

Hattori frowned, looked at Gao Cheng who was examining the corpse next to him and asked, "Joto, I remember you found a charred dry battery, right?" ”

"Yes," Gao Cheng stood up from the side of the corpse, "It looks like it fell from the roof of the castle tower, but the details will have to wait for the forensic personnel to investigate...... Now the question is, what is going on with Miss Katagiri? It would be too ...... to say that it was self-immolation."

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

"Stupid! How could such a thing be?! ”

Hattori unwillingly rushed to Katagiri's corpse, gritted his teeth and pulled his coat to look through it.

"I don't believe I can't find it, there must be evidence that the deceased was killed!"

"Hey! Peaceful! ”

Otaki was sweating profusely and wanted to stop Hattori from messing around, when a tall figure suddenly came next to him and grabbed Hattori and punched Hattori in the face.

"Ben, Ben?!"

"Dad?"

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

"Heiji," Hattori said solemnly with a slight squint, "I want to choose a place when I get carried away!" Do you understand how much trouble it will add to our police if we destroy the scene? It's good to learn from the city to be a detective ......"

Gao Cheng stiffly looked at Hattori Hirazo, who had a majestic expression.

I've always heard of this Osaka Prefecture police chief, and I've heard that the reasoning ability is extremely strong, and it's a pretty powerful kendo master, and Hattori Heiji's black charcoal face and kendo talent are inherited from this uncle.

In the past few days, when I met at Hattori's house, I felt quite harsh, even if Hattori broke the case of Langhua Stadium yesterday, I didn't convince the ministry to say good things when I met outsiders...... It's going to be even scarier......

"Mr. Hattori," Uncle Mori kindly advised, "Heiji just wants to solve the case in his own way as soon as possible......"

"Huh?!"

Hattori Hirazo turned his head solemnly, his expression startled the uncle, and he swallowed the words back directly.

"No, it's okay, haha......"

"Mr. Maori," Hattori reassured slightly, "it may be the case for you, but in my opinion, this kid is not investigating the case at all, but mischievous, and people have named him a high school detective, so he is self-righteous, this kind of chaotic way of collecting evidence will only disrupt the police investigation, except for destroying the scene, it will not help the case at all!" ”

Hattori lowered his head, and although he didn't refute, he gritted his teeth tightly.

"Alright," Hattori Heizo finally said coldly, "I don't need a layman like you here, I'll disappear immediately!" ”

"Headquarters," Officer Otaki swallowed as he looked at Hattori, who had been sitting silently on the ground, "That's too much, he's ...... him."

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

"Huh?"

"Otaki," Hattori Heizori, ignoring his son, approached the body to examine it, "Are both of these incidents murders?" ”

"This," Otaki felt the atmosphere stiffen a little, but explained it carefully, "In the case of Mr. Kato, who fell from the roof of the castle tower with his whole body on fire, we have already checked his fingerprints from the lighter placed on the roof, and there are also dry batteries found nearby by Detective Joto, and the source cannot be determined at this time......"

"What about the second one?" Hattori Heizou asked, interrupted.

"In this case of Miss Katagiri, they saw Miss Katagiri light a fire by herself, and then fell from the bridge into the river," Otaki analyzed, "Although there are still some doubts that have not yet been clarified, it seems that the two deceased may have committed suicide......"

Hattori Heizo heard this and ordered: "In this case, it is enough to leave two or three criminal policemen here, Yuanshan, we can go, the police are not idle enough to waste so much manpower for such a small case......"

Gao Cheng looked at Hattori in surprise.

No matter what, you can't be so casual, right? Two people also died, and it was related to the previous charred corpse case, how could it be so hasty to conclude that it was a suicide?

Hattori doesn't look like that kind of foolish policeman......

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

"Detective Joto," Hattori Hirazori stopped and looked at Taksung with his eyes slightly open, "Inuko has caused you trouble." ”

"Huh?"

Gao Cheng watched Hattori Hirazo leave in a daze, and suddenly vaguely felt a cold gaze in the crowd, and a figure disappeared with Hattori Hirazo leaving.

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

It turns out that this is the case, only when the police force is reduced, the guys hiding in the dark will be exposed.

The police's target is the bad house and the group of people behind the bad house, so it seems that the bad house is likely to be the robber who was on the run thirteen years ago.

Gao Cheng's brows tightened slightly.

When it comes to the treasure of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the case of the charred corpse that reappeared thirteen years later seems to be more complicated than he imagined, and even the police are 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 head of the department must have been angry because two people died in front of the main bureau." ”

Uncle Maori didn't understand and said, "No matter what, there's no need to hit someone......"

"Maybe it's because of something else," Gao Cheng approached with an umbrella, "After the charred corpse case thirteen years ago, there have been robbers and murders one after another, and this time those robbers may have appeared again." ”

"Robbers?"

"That's right," Officer Otaki said solemnly, "a total of seven people were killed at the time, and the murderous robbers are still on the run. ”

"In this case, Hattori's father thinks that the murderer is the ruthless robber, and he is afraid that Hattori will not allow him to intervene in this case again?"

"Humph!" Hattori wiped the corners of his mouth and stood up, "I'm not afraid, if I am 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 Hattori, and his brows still didn't unravel.

There is more than one robber, and the possibility of such a vicious guy carrying a gun is not low, and it is not something that Hattori, a guy who likes to rush when his brain is hot, can deal with it.

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

"Haven't the three tour groups come back yet?" Gao Cheng opened his mouth and asked, "If you want to find out the real murderer, you must first ask a few of them, and the murderer may be among them......

"But is there really a murderer?" Dalong was puzzled, "No matter how I think about it, I think it's suicide, and Ye and they also saw it, and Miss Katagiri lit the fire by herself at that time." ”

"That's right," He Ye and Xiaolan affirmed, "We also saw her struggling in pain when the fire started, and we can't be wrong!" ”

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Sometimes what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true, and it may be that the murderer wants others to see it, first of all, you must make sure that one thing is really Miss Katagiri?" ”

"This ......"

He Ye glanced at each other, a little uncertain.

"It was so dark that I shouldn't have been able to see clearly," Gao Cheng said, looking at the bridge deck, "And you didn't see the whole process of Miss Katagiri falling off the bridge into the water, did you?" ”

"I didn't see it, but as soon as she fell, we ran to the bridge......

He Ye carefully simulated the location of the crime, and then pulled Xiaolan to the middle of the bridge where the body was found.

"This is it, I saw that Miss Katagiri was all burning on the water!"

"That is, I didn't see the middle."

Gao Cheng's eyes were slightly condensed.

"Because of the relationship between a criminal, I read a lot of magic books, and there are often such blind spots in magic thinking, because I can't see it, and I subconsciously make up for it through the front and back brains, but ...... Is it really the same person before and after? ”

"Magic?" Okita and his party were stunned, especially the kendo club students, as if they were watching a detective version of Okita.

Unlike in the kendo competition, it is full of temperament and convincing, and it suddenly became the center of the scene......

"I see," Hattori also thought of the special technique in the magic trick and looked at Gao Cheng in surprise, "Joto, do you mean that what they saw with Ye and the others was Miss Katagiri pretending to be the murderer?" ”

"It's just a possibility......"

Gao Cheng smiled: "You should have found out too, right?" There are several identical marks on Miss Katagiri's coat under her right armpit, and if that is blood, is the cause of Miss Katagiri's death really hitting the bridge pier? ”

Hattori's face glowed: "That's right, if Miss Katagiri was beaten to death, then the bloodstain should have been accidentally left by the murderer who got the blood." ”

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

"What?" Otaki looked shocked, "It's fragments again?!" ”

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

Gao Cheng followed and looked at the photo, his brows jumping.

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