Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1298 1298 [Super Serial Killer]

The police officer was taken aback, and followed his direction, and found that there was indeed a lighter on the relatively flat ridge, which could match the "burning" death of the deceased.

He took a few photos, picked up the lighter and put it in the evidence bag, then was slightly taken aback: "Strange..."

There was a fan-shaped dry mark under the lighter.

The eaves and ridges have been soaked by rain, and the color is darker, but the fan is dry and light, as if it has not been rained.

Although there is a lighter blocking it, it is normal to be dry, but the lighter is a flat cuboid, and it seems that there is no way to block it into a fan shape.

Several detectives had better eyesight than the other, and they all saw it.

And quickly understood why.

"It seems that before the lighter, a nearly cylindrical object was left in the same position." Jiang Xia gestured, "First, a round dry mark was left on the ridge of the roof. After that object was taken away, the lighter's One corner was put on that circle and kept out the rain. The rest of the circle got wet and ended up in this weird fan shape."

"Cylindrical thing? Could it be the bomb he used to kill himself?"

A voice came from behind.

Jiang Xia looked back and saw the other four members of the tour group sneaking in without knowing when. It seemed that the deceased had been to the castle tower before disappearing at noon, and they were identifying all the places the deceased had visited before he died.

The woman playing "Ning Ning" sighed, raised her hand and pushed her glasses: "He has been looking forward to this journey, but he didn't expect that he was looking forward to this kind of thing."

"My lord" looked at the lighter brought up by the police officer from the forensics department, and recognized it: "This is indeed his thing."

"Tokugawa Ieyasu" next to him twisted his beard:

"Then the situation is obvious_he put the bomb in some kind of cylindrical thing, then went upstairs, ignited himself... tsk tsk tsk, young, I really can't think about it."

The corner of Hattori Heiji's eyes twitched, and he felt suspicious of how these guys looked: "The lid of the lighter is closed, and it just placed on the flat place of the roof. If he really used the lighter to light the bomb at that time, he must have no spare power to put it back on." Put the lighter back on the ridge."

"Okay, let's go down first." Otaki Police Department looked at the messy people at the scene and nodded, "Since there are doubts, let's investigate slowly, don't worry."

……

When they returned downstairs, the police officers who stayed below had already cleared out the things that the corpse had carried with him.

Wallets, cigarettes, keys, cell phones, watches.These are very normal items.

But there are two belongings that are very strange.

——It turned out to be an ancient scroll and a dusty fragment.

"You still bring a scroll when you go out?" Suzuki Sonoko showed awe-inspiring eyes, "These people are too involved in the performance, are they using the scroll as a notebook?"

The Otaki Police Department picked up the scroll and unfolded it carefully, only to see that the exposed paper had been burned to tatters, and it was blank with nothing written on it, only the word "Dragon" in the upper left corner was the most conspicuous.

Otaki Police Department was confused: "'Dragon'? What does this mean?"

Beside, the faces of the four members of the tour group changed slightly when they heard this keyword.They turned their heads and looked over, their eyes were sharp, and there seemed to be a bit of covetousness in them.

Jiang Xia pointed to the side: "This broken pottery is also very strange, not like something you should bring when traveling."

"Shards of pottery?" Conan thought of something, looked closer for a moment, and blurted out, "The charred corpses found in Osaka Castle before also had similar fragments. Could this be a serial murder case?!"

Jiang Xia was startled: "Serial murder?"

Several other high school students were also startled: "The charred corpse? Have you found other charred corpses here?"

Jiang Xia: "..."

...failed to agree with everyone's reaction.The fake detective silently noted this tiny mistake and decided to improve it in the future.

However, despite the high requirements of the parties involved, the others didn't think there was any problem—they were actually very concerned about the keyword "serial murder case", but affected by the fresh charred corpse just now, a few of them now pay attention to the "serial murder case". "The reaction was bigger.

Hattori Heiji even instinctively made a little reasoning before his brain fully reacted: maybe Jiang Xia's brain turned fast, so the focus of attention jumped directly from the charred corpse to the serial murder case it led to... Tsk, as expected of him.

Otaki Police Department was also a little surprised.

But it seemed that he was not surprised by the case, but surprised that Conan knew about it.

Conan came back to his senses, facing Otaki Police Department's questioning eyes, remembered his source, and smiled awkwardly: "Well, I slipped into the yard to play last night and heard the conversation between Uncle Hattori and Uncle Toyama—they It is said that 13 years ago, the charred corpse found in the inner moat and the charred corpse found in the outer moat a while ago both carried a pottery fragment similar to this. I heard that the fragment discovered a while ago had '840 on it '."

"840 eight?" Suzuki Sonoko was startled, couldn't help but moved to Jiang Xia's side, hugged Mao Lilan's arm again, suppressed the shock, "Could it be that serial killer has killed more than 800 people, and now it's 849 indivual?!"

Conan couldn't help but glanced at her: "In a peaceful modern society, how could it be possible to kill so many people without being discovered. You think too much."

After finishing speaking, he found Jiang Xia was looking at him, Conan was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing, I just feel that what you said makes sense. And there is only one fragment showing the number, which really doesn't look like a murderer's count." Jiang Xia looked away and brought the topic back to the case, "So this piece What are the fragments?"

Sure enough, Conan was attracted to the case again.

He shook his head and sighed regretfully: "I don't know. I asked last night, but they didn't tell me."

Jiang Xia took a closer look at the pottery shards: "There are some gold powder-like things inside, which look like handicrafts of a certain age."

Next to him, Conan and Hattori Heiji were also racing against time to think.This case seems suspicious: Why did the deceased leave the team and act alone?Why did such a good person explode all of a sudden?What was that cylindrical thing on the roof?
In addition...

Hattori Heiji touched his chin, wondering: "Why did that person stare at Jiang Xia before he died?"

Conan corrected: "He was staring at the umbrella in Jiang Xia's hand." As he spoke, he tried to diverge his thoughts, "When you say umbrella, does it mean 'rain'?"

Hattori Heiji picked up his thoughts: "Speaking of rain, it is the 'Dragon Tiger Stone' of Osaka Castle."
