Chapter 1698: The Mystery of the Will-O-Wisp (Part 2)



While adjusting his hair, Ikki Koshimizu looked at his feet and found that it was actually a concrete floor, but he was standing under a ventilation hole in the iron mesh.

"Yes, you told me to stop smoking and go back to the convenience store to buy things." Kaori Zaibe nodded.

Officer Takagi slowly noticed something was wrong with the cigarette and quickly asked, "Why is that?"

The burning cigarette was blown down my pants. Although I shook it off while walking slowly, the sparks stayed and kept my pants smoldering.

What can prove that is that the driver's seat floor was not burned.

Why did the car suddenly catch fire?"

"What then?" Inspector Megure asked in confusion.

Koshimizu Ichitsuki now understood the full extent of the case, and in a moment of sudden realization, he began to explain, "I think Mr. Chongshan mistook it for a manhole cover."

"That was you who spread it online. You just repeated it to Aunt Shizuka."

Yoshikawa Shizuko looked at the police officer Megure who was relieved and said quickly: "This young lady will tell you that there was a bad guy who was set on fire and killed in the Edo period.

"Inspector Megure, you know who is the culprit behind all this."

If we can really catch the arsonist, it is obviously more in my interest to make him pay compensation.

Gao Mu said: "The flame of your cigarette just now became weaker because of the ventilation.

There was no footage of the victim smoking outside and then retreating into the convenience store."

Officer Tsuchiguchi input the time period from memory, and the slow-motion video recording was retrieved.

The material is acrylic, which is flammable and self-igniting, making it the worst fire starter.

The blurry video only captured Chongshanda smoking a cigarette.

"They've also noticed that this is a grid-like manhole cover, so it's inevitable that fallen leaves or garbage will pile up on it. No one even bothers to fold a leaflet into a slip and stuff it in."

There was something strange about Chongshanda's death. Gao Mu felt that he was only a step away from the truth, but it was completely clear.

Yoshikawa Shizuko, who was standing by, smiled and said, "That's where the subway vents are. It's windy even when there's no subway passing by."

First of all, I ruled out the possibility that the other party committed suicide.

"But you really are the murderer!" Zaibe Kaori said slowly, "You didn't have to kill your girlfriend!"

"Supposedly, that's right, but I'm wearing leather boots."

"Pay attention to my position. I was standing in the subway ventilation duct." Gao Mu pointed at Suzandatsu's feet and said, "Look at you. I threw the cigarette directly into the ventilation duct."

"There must be no subway passing by."

"Mr. Yoshikawa, he didn't kill me for that, right?" Inspector Megure looked at Yoshikawa Shizuko and said, "Because he found out I was the arsonist, so he wanted to kill me!"

Before Takagi's reminder, no one looked at Chongshanda, but instead stared at the cigarette that fell under the ventilation duct.

When Shizuko Yoshikawa heard the name from Ikki Koshimizu, she also believed the rumor.

Wu Ai also subconsciously looked at the subway ventilation vents, but found that there was no cigarette butt at the edge where the iron net met the ground.

"Besides that, we found this."

Before Mr. Chongshan threw away the cigarette, his bad luck happened and he got off the subway.

In addition, Takagi remembered how Kaori Zaibe behaved when they met yesterday, and he opened the storage compartment on the passenger side with his gloved left hand.

After all, judging from yesterday's contact, the deceased seemed like someone who might commit suicide.

Having said that, everyone followed Takagi to the convenience store again and watched the video inside the store again.

I did it on purpose. I knew you were sweeping the floor over there every day, so I just hung around behind you and threw cigarettes around!"

While the few of them were talking, Wu Ai was also lost in thought as he looked at the burning wreckage of the car.

After all, my conclusion may be different from previous ones, so I must have sufficient and strong evidence.

After inspecting the car, it was found that the part of the car that burned the least was the ceiling of the main driver's seat.

"How is that possible? It's too outrageous."

Wu Ai suddenly realized something, then frowned slightly and looked around for seven times, trying to find evidence.

"You're kidding! You know I'm an arsonist. You must call the police and make me compensate you for your losses!"

Our convenience store was robbed before, so we used low-definition footage, but you didn’t see the criminal, did you?

Inspector Yuminaga of the Fire Division has been following this case, and he found matches dropped at the scene.

"So, it's impossible that the deceased, Sosanda, was the arsonist?"

"Huh?"

And we just discovered that the matchsticks left at the scene match the matches found in the trunk of the deceased’s car.”

"Because this is a ventilation duct, there's never been a strong airflow above it."

I delayed returning to the car because I had just had an argument with my boyfriend about my smoking, so I took out the deodorant spray my boyfriend bought me to get rid of the smell.

"How annoying! Why is there such a small breeze all of a sudden?"

Zaibe Kaori looked at Takagi Shixie and said sarcastically, "He knows all that, but I guess he doesn't have a boyfriend!"

'So that's what happened!'

"Look over there. Before Mr. Chongshan responded to his request, he threw away his unfinished cigarette."

"N-That doesn't make sense..."
