A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 108 Ginjiro Toyama's Death Stare
"Heiji, did you find anything?"

"We only saw this person fall from the castle tower, the specific circumstances are not clear."

Officer Otaki ordered the following police officers to conduct a detailed inspection of the body.

The items carried on the corpse were taken out one by one. The items were very miscellaneous, and there were seven items in total.

Excluding the four everyday items, one remains of a ceramic shard, a badge, and a half-burned scroll that looks like a scroll.

After seeing the mark on the badge, Conan and Hattori turned slightly, they had seen this badge before.

"This person should be with the group of strange tour groups we met this morning."

"That's right, judging by the badge he's wearing, the character he's playing should be Toyotomi Hideyoshi."

Officer Otaki quickly asked for specific details, and he felt that this group of people might know the true identity of this person.

Hattori told the story of the group of people they met in Osaka Castle today, and the origin of the badge on the chest.

"Then have you seen this ceramic shard on that group of people?"

"No."

"I've seen similar fragments."

He Ye squeezed in from the crowd, followed by Noah, Xiao Lan and Hui Yuan, and it was He Ye who spoke just now.

"Where did you see it? I don't know."

Faced with Hattori's question, Kazuha thought of something, his face flushed slightly.

"When your dad sent my dad back yesterday, the two of them said that the charred corpse found 13 years ago and the charred corpse discovered a few days ago had such a ceramic fragment."

"Is the fragment you saw yesterday exactly like this one?"

"It's not the same, that one is bigger than this one, and there is another one with 840 written on it."

What He Ye said made Hattori even more confused. This 840 seems to have nothing to do with the case.

However, every self-immolated body has exactly one piece of ceramic shards, which shows that the ceramic shards have a lot to do with the case.

"Why does this scroll look like a street stall? Except for the dragon character, the rest of the scroll is blank. It's just for fun."

The scroll in the uncle's hand has been opened, and Hattori poked his head to look. As the uncle said, there is only a dragon character printed on the upper left corner.

"let me see."

"Little devil, don't make trouble here, just go and play."

Throwing Conan at his feet to Xiaolan casually, the uncle continued to frown and think about the case.

Conan broke free from Xiaolan's arms, walked to Hattori, and motioned him to show it to him.

As a good friend, of course Hattori helped. Conan got the scroll, and after careful observation, he found that besides the dragon character, there was also a line pattern where the scroll accidentally touched the water.

"Did"

Conan unfolded the scroll and exposed it to the rain, soaking it in the rain, and the picture gradually appeared on the scroll.

"It's like a map."

Hearing Conan's words, and looking at the scroll that appeared, Hattori held it in his hand and observed it carefully.

"This should be the treasure map left by the Golden King in Osaka Castle, and this is only part of it."

"Hey, Minister Toyama, why are you here?"

"I told you."

He Ye stood beside her father with a proud face, she thought that her father should know more than Hattori, and wanted him to help.

No one noticed that the strange tour group was standing among the onlookers. After hearing Toyama Ginshiro's explanation, his face changed in shock.

Even the bald man with the pseudonym Tokugawa Ieyasu took out his mobile phone and sneaked aside to make a call.

"Just leave the rest of the matter to us, and Ye Hattori and you two go back first."

Toyama Ginjiro didn't seem to take this case seriously, and his tone was flat, as if he was used to it.

I still have to listen to my father's words, so He Ye greeted a few people to have dinner.

"Are you kidding me? What time is it now... I'm not in the mood to eat. Go ahead and eat deliciously."

Originally Hattori's voice was still loud, but seeing Ginshiro Toyama's death gaze, his voice subconsciously softened.

"Good risk, good risk"

Hattori was afraid for a while, until he and Ye Hou got used to it, forgetting that his father was by his side now, and almost had an accident.

"Slightly slightly slightly, don't eat and let go, Xiaolan, let's go."

Without any hesitation, He Ye took Xiao Lan and turned around to leave. Hui Yuan pointed to the direction where the two left, expressing that he was also hungry.

"May I have a look at the scroll in your hand?"

People from the weird tour group appeared in front of everyone, and the leading bald man pointed to the scroll that the uncle held in his hand and said.

"You are this person's companions, please explain his identity."

"No, we are just netizens. We are usually called by code names. We don't know the specific information. Besides, can you show us the scroll?"

The uncle looked at Ginshiro Toyama with soliciting eyes, and after receiving a nod of agreement from the other party, handed it to the group of people.

Looking at the pattern displayed above, the expressions on the faces of several people were filled with excitement, as if they had seen something extraordinary.

"Thank you for your trouble, I wish you a happy solving the case."

After the bald man returned the scroll to the uncle, he turned and left, followed by the other tour groups.

"Hey, you haven't..."

Officer Otaki was stopped by Ginshiro Toyama before he finished speaking. After he bowed his head and whispered a few words, Officer Otaki left with a surprised expression.

Toyama Ginshiro looked at the strange group of four who were leaving, his eyes flashed a breathtaking light, and he was still muttering to himself.

"It really is you, the voice is as disgusting as ever."

Hattori and Conan didn't hang around the corpse all the time. They had already been trying to find other clues on the top of the castle tower and around it.

A battery, a lighter, a pile of bricks and tiles, all their achievements.

……

A restaurant outside of Osaka Castle.

Noah and Huiyuan are happily tasting the food in front of them, and He Ye and Xiaolan are discussing their childhood sweethearts.

"You called your father to help Hattori on purpose."

"Hee hee, you saw it, I think it should help him."

"Hey, you two are enough. I've been talking non-stop since just now. There are still two singles here. Please save face."

Noah had to interrupt the communication between the two of them, it was too tired and crooked, and he would only discuss it in private instead of expressing his feelings in person.

"Hey, isn't Conan still here?"

Xiaolan habitually touched the place beside her, it was empty, and Conan was not here.

"Yeah, I was only talking to you just now, and I forgot that I didn't bring Conan with me."

"Don't worry about that brat, Hattori has been with him all the time, and I'll go back to him after dinner."

……

Toyama Ginjiro is reporting his findings to Hattori Heizo and discussing follow-up plans.

After the two discussed, Toyama Ginjiro looked at Hattori next to the corpse again with a strange look in his eyes.

"You dare to yell at my daughter, but I don't dare to say it loudly to make you suffer."

Hattori, who was observing the corpse, felt a chill all over his body, as if he was being watched by someone, and turned his head just in time to see the strangeness in Toyama Ginshiro's eyes.

Feeling cold, he wouldn't have remembered when I yelled at Ye just now, should I find a way to make up for it.

At this time, Noah and the others were already on their way back, and He Ye and Xiao Lan still had some food in their hands.

Suddenly, when they passed a small bridge outside Osaka City, a man in a black windbreaker suddenly burst into flames, and then jumped into the river.

Several people looked horrified, and quickly lay down on the side of the bridge to observe, wanting to see if they could save this person.

After seeing the tragic situation under the river, He Ye couldn't help but let out a scream, which resounded around.

Hattori and others of His Excellency Tianshou of Osaka Castle cheered up when they heard the scream.

"This is He Ye's voice, something went wrong."

Hattori and Conan were the first to react, and set off, running towards the place where the screams came from.

Noah on the bridge suddenly turned his head to look at the head of the bridge, where a black figure shrouded in night appeared.
