Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 1168 1168 [Case closed]

   Gentian Longde followed behind the detective and the police, walked around his house, and broke out in a cold sweat.

  ——In addition to the landline and the two bugs in the vase, they rummaged through the trash and found a bug of the same type as the landline.

   After entering the study, the search equipment responded again.

   Looking for it, I saw that the source came from a crystal ball on the bookshelf-a soft pad filled with cotton was placed under the crystal ball. After tearing it open, a small bug was revealed inside.

   "This crystal ball..." Mao Lilan suddenly discovered something, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar the crystal ball looked, she said in surprise:

   "Isn't this the 'lucky crystal' sold by the female fortune-teller in front of the Cupido station building? I heard that she is very accurate. I wanted to go there with Sonoko to see it."

   Jiang Xia: "..." Speaking of which, when he was at Zhujiao's house yesterday, the fortune-teller seemed to have indeed said that he had good luck recently. After the forefoot finished speaking, the hindfoot Mrs. Zhujiao died, and then the fortune-teller inherited a large amount of inheritance inexplicably...

  I was thinking to myself whether there was really something magical about the fortune-tellers in this world.

Before reaching a conclusion, Chief Gong's police department's expression suddenly became solemn: "Wait, this crystal ball mat... Although the color is different, when the deceased was found, she was holding a piece of the same model in her hand. !"

   said, he felt from the inner pocket of his shirt, and quickly found a physical evidence bag: "This is it."

   "Can you take it apart and take a look?" Jiang Xia asked intently, although he felt that a careless police department who would run around with physical evidence probably wouldn't care about such trivial matters.

   Sure enough, the police department, Chief Gong, put on gloves and tore off the cloth pad.

  Under the inquiring gazes of everyone, there was really something hidden in the cloth pad.

   But it is not the bug they imagined before.

   is a red plastic piece. Its color and texture...

   "This is the base of Guan Yu's keychain, which was cut off separately." Xuantian Longde said in surprise, "Why hide this kind of thing?"

   A few detectives and the police department showed an expression of sudden realization.

   Then they looked at each other like a riddle, as if they understood something very important.

  …

   "Hello? No, no, I'm not suspecting you, I just want to ask you about the situation." Gong Chang's police department used his identity as a policeman to call the three suspects.

   After being a police officer for so many years, he has already tempered the attributes of a riddleman. Under the onlookers of a group of high school students, Chief Gong's police department subtly conveyed a little message.

   He first asked about Genda Longde.

   Then, under the questioning of the other party, he "reluctantly" revealed a bit of the progress of the investigation:

"Don't panic, just relax and live a normal life. Haha, to be honest, we have already locked down the major suspects, but because of insufficient evidence, we can't arrest them for the time being - but tomorrow, the search warrant will be issued, and they will Go to his house and search for evidence. When he is arrested, your suspicion will be cleared."

  …

   After the three calls with similar content, the police chief Gong Chang breathed a sigh of relief and gave several detectives a thumbs up symbolizing victory:

   Get it done.

  ——The house of Gentian Longde is indeed very easy to invade, and anyone can come in and walk around. But at the same time, the intruder will inevitably leave various traces.

   Usually no one cares, but by "tomorrow", assuming that the police will come over to conduct a careful search, as the police department said, they will definitely find a lot of problems.

   In order to remove the traces, those who have ghosts in their hearts are likely to take this "last chance" tonight to destroy the evidence.

   Chief Gong's police department looked at the detectives in front of him and said expectantly, "After tonight, this troublesome case should be completely over."

  …

   That night.

  Three dark figures, separated by a few minutes, quietly touched the door of Xuantian's house and slipped into this old house with almost no security measures.

   One of them found the spare key that was pre-assigned and opened the door.

   After entering the door, he glanced at the bedroom diagonally above, showed a murderous sneer, and walked silently to the next bedroom.

   After a while, the second shadow came. No. 2 Sombra didn't know the existence of the senior, and when he arrived at the door, he turned the door handle tentatively, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the door was open, so he happily entered the room and went straight to the study.

   The No. 3 shadow who arrived last, also did not know the existence of the first two, so like the second shadow, he entered the room with surprise.

   But instead of going inside, he went straight to the entrance, found the vase on the shoe rack, and reached out to rummage.

  No.3 was anxiously looking for the bug that he had hidden in, trying to retrieve it, and was suddenly slapped on the shoulder.

  "!!" The feng shui master was so frightened that he almost jumped up, his hands were stuck in the vase, and he almost blurted out a scream, but he was first covered by someone.

   Chief Gong's police department's terrifying face appeared in the darkness, and he raised his hand and gestured towards him with a hushed gesture.

  …

   The same thing happened in the study.

  ——The fortune-teller was caught on the spot when he tried to retrieve the bug he had hidden in the crystal ball mat.

   The two were quickly sent away quietly. On the hitchhiker full of police officers outside, they each showed contrite expressions and confessed their similar behaviors:

"I, I really don't have any bad intentions. I installed a bug, just to eavesdrop on some relevant information about the customer, and then when we meet next time, I will say those things inadvertently, pretending to be 'calculated' by myself, and improve it. The trust between each other, so that Mr. Xuantian can rest assured to buy some more valuable things from me..."

   The two have little to do with "arson".

   Feng shui master did say to Genda Ryuji that "Cupado Town is auspicious", but he did not collude with Doctor Morokaku. It was just that Doctor Zhujiao heard their conversation with a wiretap, so he arranged to start on that day.

  …

   With the exit of the two metaphysics swindlers, there was only the last metaphysics swindler left in the room...cough, only the last important suspect remained.

  Zhu Jiao Ming took the lamp oil, touched the stairs silently, stopped at the entrance of the stairs, and observed it secretly.

When he found that the bedroom door was closed, he quietly approached the next room. First, he spilled the lamp oil along the wooden table and spilled it to the wall of the next bedroom. Then he went back to the table, took out a strip of flammable toilet paper, and wrapped it in it. Stick it on the bulb, and finally insert a match between the toilet paper and the bulb.

   A 100-watt incandescent lamp can reach a surface temperature of nearly 200 degrees Celsius when it is lit.

   It didn't take long for the match to burst into flames, igniting the toilet paper around, and then violent sparks fell into the lamp oil and the fire spread to the next bedroom. With the rapid fire, it was not difficult to burn the "arsonist" Genda Longde and those who were staring at him for sleepwalking.
