Chapter 717: The Third Prediction
In the afternoon, Gao Cheng looked at the watch time downstairs at the scene and made a call to Okiya, but he didn't get through, including Xiao Ai and Conan's mobile phones.
"Strange, they should have arrived at the campsite at this time, isn't there a signal yet?"
"Maybe there's something delaying," Takagi said with his notebook after asking, "Dr. Asa took Conan and them to camp again?" ”
"Uh......"
Gao Cheng didn't mention Okiya Pleiades, so he changed the topic and said, "Is there any clue here?" ”
Takagi shook his head: "As with the previous investigation, the surrounding residents have also asked, and there is nothing suspicious." ”
"It seems that we can only continue to investigate the ...... from the fax side."
Gao Cheng looked back at the apartment building where the drowning accident occurred, and drove back to the Metropolitan Police Department with Takagi.
Xiao Ai's side is really not reassuring, and he will definitely be involved in some case, hoping that he will be more powerful and not make any trouble.
In a luxury villa on the edge of a cliff in the mountains, a loud explosion broke the silence at noon, and thick smoke and flames burst out, and soon fire trucks and ambulances arrived at the scene, along with police cars.
The police were dispatched by Officer Yucho, Kogoro's old boss, Mori Kogoro, who is now in charge of arson cases.
"The one who was burned to death was Mr. Zhou Tenghaogui, 34 years old, the president of a company in the IT industry, who built a luxury villa here after making a lot of money, and the cause of the explosion may have been a cigarette butt ......"
In the charred garage after the fire was extinguished, Officer Gong followed the forensic personnel to check the scene, Conan and Xiao Ai came out of the crowd behind, and Okiya followed behind with squinted eyes, and couldn't help but look at Conan who looked thoughtful.
There is really such a strange thing, and you will be involved in the case when you go out casually......
"The plastic oil drum with gasoline in the garage overturned, and the entire garage should have been filled with combustible gas, and after Mr. Zhou Teng drove in, he probably got out of the car directly with a cigarette butt, and there were burnt cigarette butts on the ground............
Officer Gong looked at the scene and made a preliminary judgment, and then turned to Conan in confusion: "I remember that you are the kid who followed Kogoro and Detective Joto, right?" How did it end up here? ”
Okiya stepped forward and explained, "Detective Seongto has something to do temporarily, and he asked me to take these children out camping, and I happened to pass by here......"
"Oh," Officer Bow said as he had heard more or less about the situation over there, "that kind of thing is indeed going to be done by the Castle Detective......
"What's the matter?" Conan wondered.
"I can't say," Captain Gong laughed, "it's a troublesome matter from the Murderer's Serious Crime Squad......"
……
The Metropolitan Police Department did not find any clues about the static electricity accident until the night, until Officer Gong Chang of the arsonist search team sent a message that Gao Cheng saw Conan and his party and the suspect Yinlin Ena who used static electricity to set fire to kill, that is, the victim's fiancée.
It's true that he killed with the help of static electricity, but Yinlin Ena didn't send a fax to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the motive for the murder was because her fiancé had a bad personality and didn't save her parents in the past, so she wanted to take revenge, and there was no accomplice from beginning to end.
"Another prediction was successful......
When Gao Cheng left the Metropolitan Police Department, his brows were still tightly locked.
It is difficult to say that the two predictions were successful, and it is impossible for the police to treat them as coincidences
He had never encountered such a situation, and the two cases were not so close that they could not be linked if they had nothing to do with the prophet himself.
Is it really prophetic?
"What's wrong, Joto?" Conan followed Gao Cheng and asked, "I heard that the Metropolitan Police Department seems to be in trouble......
"It's not that it can't be said," Gao Cheng came back to his senses, "It's just that someone acted as a prophet and sent something similar to a murder notice to the Metropolitan Police Department, but it all happened, it seems to be a coincidence, but it's not a coincidence...... I don't believe in any prophetic powers, but ......"
Gao Cheng didn't say anything more.
Although the world of Conan is not very scientific, it is definitely a regular detective world in general, and a soothsayer like Koizumi Hongzi is just a fortune teller.
But this time he didn't find a flaw, it really looked like he had predicted the event, otherwise there was another mastermind behind Gao Yuanyuan, and he was even more powerful than Gao Yuan without leaving any traces......
The key is to predict the two events successfully, the latter has actually been prepared by the murderer for several weeks, repeated several times, and only successfully exploded until today, if it is a person who knows the inside story, it is nothing, the former...... The drowning incident was very sudden, and the murderer was an impulsive murderer, so he could only start with another accidental drowning.
On the surface, what seems to be an accident is not necessarily an accident, maybe the murderer designed a mechanism that leaves no trace in advance, and is ready to keep trying, but it just happened to succeed once.
The other is the criminal mentality, which has exposed its own psychology since the mysterious person issued the murder notice, which provides a basis for the criminal profile.
Gao Cheng settled down.
Retain the suspicion of the mysterious side first, and consider it from some unknown method.
He has also encountered a lot of so-called supernatural cases, supernatural fire, agility, and out-of-body ...... It is often because of the lack of cognition in some aspect that people are misunderstood or even confused.
"Huh." In a dark cabin, a man in a hoodie watched the surveillance footage in front of the computer, and saw the corners of Gao Cheng's mouth pull up after he left the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Detective, it's really annoying......"
Turning off the surveillance, the hoodie man typed "Next: Shoot" in the box where he scheduled to send anonymous faxes. ”
……
"Illusionist?"
The next day, Gao Cheng spent the morning reading the newspaper in the coffee shop downstairs, and from time to time the big dog Mangono who was lying silently on the side, suddenly heard the twin sisters mention the recent popular illusion show in Tokyo.
"Yes," the twin sisters looked forward to, "I heard that he is a genius who has recently debuted in illusion, and the performance is hard to find abroad, and the illusion of the live performance is almost ...... real thing."
Gao Cheng is not interested, since it is an illusion, it must be a trick to deceive people, he was very interested in cracking it at the time, but illusion is probably a visual deception with the help of lights and other things, that is, a branch of magic, and there is nothing to crack itself.
"That's it," Gao Cheng couldn't dismiss the two sisters' interest, put down the newspaper and said, "On the day of the performance, the coffee shop can rest for a day, and I will take care of Mangono." ”
"Really?" The twins exclaimed, "Great, master! ”
"It's enough to call me the store manager......"
Gao Cheng's eyebrows jumped.
If it really doesn't work, put Mangono to the uncle next door, Xiaolan is expected to be very welcome, and the uncle can ignore it......
"Buzz!"
Just after finishing talking to the twins, Gao Cheng's mobile phone rang, and Takagi called in a hurry: "Chenghu, it's time to fax again, just now...... Shoot with prediction above! ”
