Chapter 1289 1297 [The joys and sorrows of the police and the wine are not the same] Ask for a monthly ticket (`)
Gin frowned, worried that things were getting out of control.
However, thinking about how Wu Zo could occasionally cheat passers-by and easily take back hundreds of millions as rewards, he felt that Wu Zo seemed to be quite good at treasure hunting and raising funds.
And that tour group had five people in total. According to Wuzo's usual practice, someone must have survived with the fear of having witnessed the case, becoming a living souvenir of Wuzo's "stages".
"..." In short, Wu Zuo would not kill all five people. As long as he remembered to leave the most critical evidence and clues.
Gin quickly stopped thinking about it.
Someone had just died in the car, so there was inevitably some odor. He sprayed some deodorizing spray with disgust, and planned to go have dinner while waiting for it to take effect. He had a lot of free time recently, and his life had become more regular again.
…
But also related to this incident, on the other hand, some people's lives have become less regular.
——In Osaka Castle, Suzuki Sonoko, with the cover of two generals on her left and right, successfully crossed the crowd and arrived at the crime scene.
The three high school girls looked inside and saw a sturdy man squatting next to the body. He turned around when he heard their voices, revealing a pair of dark circles under his eyes that looked particularly gloomy in the night.
"…Inspector Otaki? It's you again." Toyama Kazuha was the first to recognize him. She smiled sheepishly and said, "Thank you for your hard work these past two days."
Inspector Otaki stood up and sighed: "Nothing, it's my job."
Although he said this, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Heiji's event physique was already strong enough, and I didn't expect that after making a few friends in Tokyo, his event physique would be even stronger.
Alas, it must be very difficult for the Tokyo police. When I think about how this is their daily routine, and I only have to be busy for a few days...
There is no happiness without comparison. As Inspector Otaki thought about this, he regained his spirits.
He quickly returned to his work and looked at the detectives next to him: "What did you just say? Can you confirm the identity of the deceased?"
Jiang Xia nodded and pointed to the family crest on the deceased's collar: "Judging from that emblem, his name should be Kato Yuji. He is a tourist visiting Osaka."
"Badge?" Inspector Otaki turned around and looked, and found that there was indeed a badge with a paulownia pattern pinned on the deceased's clothes.
He touched the back of his head in confusion, feeling that he couldn't keep up with the detective's train of thought: "This is one of the family crests used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, right? What does this have to do with 'the deceased is called Kato Yuji'?"
Jiang Xia looked into the crowd and quickly found four people acting suspiciously.
He gestured to Inspector Otaki and said, "Those people were the deceased's companions. We met them at noon. I heard that they formed a historical tour group.
"All five of them are fans of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Since they met online, they are not familiar with each other. So, in order to make it easier to remember people and for fun, they draw lots every day to decide who each person will play. The deceased Mr. Kato is in charge of playing 'Toyotomi Hideyoshi' today, so he wears the family crest of Toyotomi Hideyoshi."
Inspector Otaki looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that those people were indeed paying close attention to the scene.
When they met the police's gaze, they were slightly startled, and then they sighed sadly: "We were just separated for a while, how did things turn out like this?"
“…”
Suzuki Sonoko and the others happened to be next to these people.
She turned to look at the four companions of the deceased and rubbed her chin like a famous detective: "It seems that they are not sad at all. Based on my experience, the murderer must be among them!"
The old man in the tour group nearby heard this and snorted, "We met online a few days ago and we're not that familiar with each other. Do we have to cry and scream to stop being suspicious?"
Several other people in the tour group nodded.
Of course, they knew in their hearts that in addition to this, there was actually another reason not to feel sad - they all came for the treasure, and with treasure, if one person is missing, the remaining people can get a bigger share.
However, the sudden murder still made them feel heavy-hearted, and they began to be wary of their "companions".
…
When Inspector Otaki heard what they said, he nodded secretly in his heart.
Although it sounds a bit cold, the explanation of the old man wearing the "Tokugawa Ieyasu" badge is actually not without reason.
Unlike the detective, as a police officer, Inspector Otaki obviously thought of another possibility: "Could the deceased have actually committed suicide? It was clearly raining outside, but he insisted on climbing onto the eaves. If someone else had called him up, he would have definitely become suspicious. In addition, this way of death is also very special. If it was murder, it would be too difficult to commit murder in that environment. After all, he didn't seem to have any signs of struggle, and there was no sign of a fight on the roof."
Another policeman nodded and said, "Come to think of it, the deceased's clothes are made of pure wool, which is a very flammable material. Although it is raining tonight and the weather is getting cold, it is normal to wear such clothes. But the temperature is high during the day, and he happened to choose such clothes. It seems like a long-planned plan."
As Toyama and Ye listened, they gradually convinced them and muttered, "Fans of Toyotomi Hideyoshi brought Toyotomi Hideyoshi's badges to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's masterpiece, the castle tower, and committed suicide as Toyotomi Hideyoshi... Well, now that you put it that way, it does have a sense of ritual, like something a fanatical fan would do!"
Hattori Heiji's eyes jumped: "You are making up a tongue twister! It's too early to talk about suicide now."
Jiang Xia didn't seem to think this was "suicide". He looked at the police officers next to him and asked, "Is the rope ready?"
The police officer came to his senses and nodded.
"Then let's go up and take a look."
…
The scene where the deceased first had the accident will undoubtedly contain extremely important clues.
The group quickly left the ground where the deceased had fallen, climbed up the castle tower, and found the location where he had first caught fire.
Searchlights have been set up here, and it's as bright as day from the railings to the eaves outside.
Several detectives stood by the railings. Hattori Heiji and Conan were eager to go down to the eaves, but were stopped by Inspector Otaki. Finally, a forensic police officer tied a safety rope and climbed down carefully.
When the deceased was struggling, he stepped on some of the tiles on the eaves and messed them up, and some small fragments were scattered around.
Jiang Xia leaned against the railing, watching the police officers moving carefully, pointing and making suggestions like a bystander: "There is a lighter over there."
