Chapter 559 The Culprit
Just then, several people ran from the direction the red car had come from, their faces equally anxious.
One of the youths was shouting, "Big Brother!!"
"Was the driver in the car someone you knew?" Liu Qingyao frowned as she took Chizu from Kogoro Mouri's hands and looked at them.
“Yes, that’s my older brother.” The young man nodded and tried to run toward the car, but was stopped by Kogoro Mouri.
Facing the young man's questioning gaze, Kogoro Mouri looked at the deformed vehicle and said seriously, "Don't go near there. Contact the fire department first."
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a loud bang as a car belching thick smoke suddenly exploded and burst into flames not far away.
Firefighters quickly arrived, extinguished the flames, and inspected the scene.
Conan's gaze turned serious.
This is more than just an accident.
As the driver just mentioned, his brakes and steering wheel suddenly failed. If it was an accident, then this is too much of a coincidence.
This was clearly a deliberate murder intended to kill the driver.
Liu Qingyao took a deep breath and looked at Kogoro Mouri. "Mr. Mouri, I'll take Chino-kun to that convenience store to rest for a bit."
"Okay, Ran, you go and help take care of Chizuru too." Kogoro Mouri nodded, then looked at Ran Mouri and said to her.
"Okay." Ran Mouri nodded and followed Liu Qingyao toward the convenience store again.
When faced with troubles involving his close friends and family, Kogoro Mouri does indeed appear much more composed.
He also noticed something was wrong, so he formally questioned the people who had run over.
They seemed somewhat frightened by what had happened, but they were quite cooperative in telling Kogoro Mouri what they knew.
While wandering around the scene trying to find clues, Conan was also thinking about something else.
In other words, whether Liu Qingyao is a member of the church or not.
Although he was unaware of what had happened between Qianzhu and the church, based on his attitude towards the church, it was clearly not a trivial matter, and their relationship was definitely not friendly.
So... if Liu Qingyao were a member of the church, would his first reaction to what just happened be to run over and save Qianzhu?
Conan felt his mind was in a mess, so he shook his head and decided to solve the case in front of him first.
Sitting on a chair in the convenience store, with Qianzhu leaning against her, Liu Qingyao rested her head against the wall, her eyes closed as if she were resting.
Ran Mouri, on the other hand, was watching Chizuru's condition with concern. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his breathing had calmed down, and the grip on her phone loosened.
With the cooperation of Kogoro Mouri and Conan, and with the help of the fire department, they successfully identified the culprit behind the incident.
All three suspects are brothers or sisters of the deceased.
The murderer was their sister.
They were also there to visit the art exhibition.
Before entering the exhibition hall, she claimed she had forgotten to take something and took the car keys from the deceased, taking the opportunity to tamper with the car's brakes, steering wheel, and seat belts.
Then, when we returned to the car after the tour, he suggested we go to the convenience store to buy something.
She knew that her older brother always carried things with him, so she wouldn't go with them. Even if he wanted to buy something, she would just offer to buy it for him.
