Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Kogoro Mouri looked at the burnt photo in the evidence bag. When Inspector Megure said that the person in the photo was Ran Mouri, his face suddenly darkened.

So, these two people are the ones who are following Mao Lilan.

Maori Kogoro asked: "Officer Megure, have the identities of these two people been investigated?"

Officer Megure shook his head and said, "Not yet. The burning was extremely severe. If the deceased's pants had not been pressed against the car door when he was burned, this photo would definitely not have been taken. These two people were murdered."

"Murdered?"

"Well, both of them were stabbed once in the chest and once in the neck. The fatal wound was in the neck. When the bodies were found, two samurai swords and two daggers were stuck in their bodies. In other words, they were not burned to death, but were already dead before being burned."

Kogoro Mori's brows were already furrowed.

Inspector Megure asked Maori Kogoro: "Brother Maori, since these two people are holding Xiaolan's photo, do you have any clues?"

Maori Kogoro replied: "Last night, Xiaolan told me that someone seemed to be following her. I was worried that it might be an enemy, because detectives like us can easily offend people, so I sent Xiaolan to school this morning, but I didn't find anything strange along the way.

Then I watched the news and found out what happened here. It was very close to Teitan High School, and it might be related to Xiaolan, so I rushed over to see what was going on.

As for the rest, I don’t know. As I said just now, I have offended many people.”

Inspector Megure said in a tricky tone: "This is troublesome. The surrounding surveillance cameras have been destroyed, and there are no eyewitnesses who saw what happened here.

The entire car is now burned through, so any clues are gone. The body is severely charred, and the skin is severely damaged. The high temperature carbonizes and deforms the skin tissue, and the detailed features of the fingerprints are destroyed. It is impossible to extract fingerprints, and now we can only restore the appearance through the skull. "

Officer Sato wondered, "But there is one thing that is very strange. If these two people wanted to take revenge on Mr. Maori and went after Xiaolan, why were they killed?"

Maori Kogoro guessed: "Could it be that these two people have enemies? Was it their enemies who did it?"

Inspector Megure agreed, "It's possible. After all, the other party first pierced their bodies with samurai swords, which was not fatal. In other words, the murderer tortured the two people before they died, and finally stabbed them in the neck to death. However, we need to know the identities of these two people before the investigation can make progress."

"I don't think he came after Ran in order to take revenge on Uncle Mori."

The sudden voice made Kogoro Mouri, Inspector Megure and Inspector Sato look sideways.

Maori Kogoro asked in confusion: "Huh? Sera? Shouldn't it be class time now?"

"Ah, I took a leave of absence this afternoon, and I passed by here and saw so many people gathered here, so I came to take a look."

In fact, Masumi Sera saw the news on her mobile phone and discovered the burned car, which looked very similar to the car that she had been using to monitor Ran Mouri every day for the past few days, so she slipped out.

Maori Kogoro waved his hand and said, "Go away, this is a murder scene, why are you, a high school student, joining in the fun?"

Sera Masumi squatted in front of the charred body, observing it and saying, "I know something about it."

Upon hearing what Sera Masumi said, Maori Kogoro hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Masumi Sera did not answer immediately, but asked, "Is the license plate of this car Nakano 23-53-61?"

Officer Megure replied: "Yes, it is this license plate, but it is a fake license plate and no information can be found."

"That's right." Sera Masumi stood up and said, "This car has been parked on another street of Teitan High School every day these days. It is parked in a position that can see the situation at the gate of Teitan High School. It is parked during school hours and after school hours. It looks like it is monitoring someone. Now it seems to be Xiaolan.

If it was to take revenge on Uncle Maori, then there were many opportunities to attack Xiaolan in these few days, but they did not take any action. It was as if they were just simply monitoring her, as if they were waiting for... someone to meet Xiaolan. "

Maori Kogoro wondered, "Waiting for someone to meet Xiaolan? Who?"

Sera Masumi shrugged and said, "Who knows? The surveillance cameras on that street are not broken, so maybe by investigating the surveillance cameras there, we can find out the true identities of these two people."

Officer Megure immediately shouted to Officer Takagi, "Takagi!"

Officer Gao Mu immediately understood: "I will check the surveillance right now!"

After Officer Takagi obtained the surveillance authorization, he took out his laptop and checked the surveillance with everyone.

"Sure enough, this car parked during the school hours and after school for Teitan High School students, and after Xiaolan left, it drove away. Oh, by the way, I seemed to have seen this car this morning, because it drove a little slowly!"

Kogoro Mouri remembered that when he was taking Mouri Ran to school, this car was driving slowly in the lane on the street, but Kogoro Mouri didn't care about it at the time. After all, apart from driving slowly, there was nothing strange about it.

Everyone continued to watch the video, and Sera Masumi suddenly said, "Pause, rewind two seconds!"

Officer Takagi immediately pressed the pause button and rewound two seconds.

Masumi Sera stared at the computer screen: "I can see one of them's faces clearly!"

On the computer screen, the car window with anti-peep film was rolled down, and it seemed that someone was going to throw away a cigarette butt. It was this action that allowed the person's face to be clearly seen.

"high..."

Before Officer Megure could finish, Officer Takagi, who understood what he meant, immediately said, "I'll go investigate right away!"

...

the other side.

Gin and Vodka naturally also got the news.

Gin looked at the news on his phone and said coldly: "The member of the organization who was monitoring the gate of Teitan High School was killed."

Vodka, who was driving, was surprised and asked, "What? Who did it?"

After Gin took back his phone, he said, "I don't know. The Metropolitan Police Department has already started investigating, and Maori Kogoro is also here."

Vodka guessed: "Is Maori Kogoro here too? Then will it be possible..."

Gin denied it, "It's impossible that he did it, but the organization's surveillance may have been discovered. This is actually a good opportunity, because Kudo Shinichi might show up because of this."

Vodka asked: "So should we continue to send people to monitor?"

"Of course, otherwise how would we know whether Kudo Shinichi went to find Mao Lilan!"

Vodka worriedly asked, "But what if Kudo Shinichi meets Mao Lilan in Beika Town?"

Gin said with a gloomy expression: "As long as Kudo Shinichi knows that we are always monitoring Mao Lilan and his relatives, he will reveal a flaw at any time! As long as he reveals a flaw once, he will become a ghost again! A real ghost!"
