Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

Chapter 271 Didn’t Hawaii teach you how to tell the difference?
"Is that Heiji?"

"He's here too?"

Officer Otaki looked around quickly.

"Well, he just ran into the castle tower with Conan." Uncle Maori nodded and looked up.

He should be going to investigate the scene, but why did he bring that little brat with him...

"Hey, Kudo, the roads are slippery when it rains, you have to be careful!" On the castle tower, Hattori, holding a rope in his hand, lowered the famous detective to the place where the deceased had just fallen.

Conan had a rope tied around his waist and was lying on the eaves. He turned his head and looked at Hattori speechlessly.

This scene is like a street artist performing with small animals.

"Pay attention and remember to wear gloves," Hattori instructed.

Don't let anyone question our professionalism.

"Really..."

Conan turned on the lighting function of his watch and began searching the location where the deceased had been on fire.

It’s good to carry your own handkerchief with you.

“There are a lot of tiny pieces of tiles here.”

The famous detective called out to Hattori and continued to search nearby.

Immediately afterwards, the next item was a kerosene lighter.

"Is this what caused the spontaneous combustion?"

"Something seems wrong."

Conan wrapped the lighter with a handkerchief and looked at it, then looked away.

"Is this, a piece of burnt plastic?"

Conan picked it up and smelled it, yes, it was that smell!
The plastic fragments were small in size and few in number, and were severely burned.

"Hey, Hattori, you can pull me up now!"

Small broken tiles.

Kerosene lighter.

Burnt plastic fragments.

Apart from these three, there is nothing else...

……

"I can't believe that Mr. Kato would commit suicide," said Fukushima Toshiaki.

"To be honest, I feel the same way. He was looking forward to visiting Osaka at first." Shigehiko Wakisaka lowered his head, looking unhappy.

“It’s hard for others to understand what’s going on in everyone’s head.”

Katagiri Maho, who plays Ningning today and is the only woman in the tour group, said something.

"Perhaps he had already made up his mind to end his life at the place where Toyotomi Hideyoshi made his fortune." The person who said this was a bald old man who looked very similar to Dr. Agasa, named Arihiro Kusaya.

The four people in the tour group all expressed their opinions.

Uncle Mori and Officer Otaki are now standing together. They have already determined in their hearts that the deceased, Kato Yuji, must have set himself on fire. Now, as long as they find the motive, they can move forward smoothly.

"I say, is it really okay to just leave it alone?" Qingtian Yumi coughed lightly and looked at the repairman.

No matter what, we have to check the place where the deceased fell from the building first.

Also, it doesn't feel right to set yourself on fire in this weather...

"Someone will take care of them." Lin Feng glanced at the four people in the tour group.

We couldn't find him from before lunch until the evening. As soon as he showed up, he was on fire and fell from the roof...

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Hattori and Conan came back.

"We found this lighter on the roof of the castle tower just now." Hattori said while holding the evidence bag. "That seems to be the lighter that Mr. Kato carries with him."

"Looking at the style, that's right."

Four people in the tour group confirmed the ownership of the kerosene lighter.

"This confirms that he committed suicide." Uncle Maori said immediately.

"No, I'm not sure yet. I'm more concerned about the explosion and the fragments in these two bags." Hattori shook his head.

It is too arbitrary to conclude that it was suicide just by seeing a lighter.

Before we saw Mr. Kato in flames, the source of the explosion was also suspicious.

No matter what combustible material you put on your body, there shouldn't be such a loud noise.

"Officer Otaki, all the belongings on Mr. Kato have been sorted out." A police officer nearby shouted.

"Wallet, watch, mobile phone, keys, cigarettes, a piece of unidentified debris, is this a scroll?" Officer Otaki checked the report, reached out and took the scroll on the ground and opened it.

The scroll was also burned, with only a word "dragon" remaining on it, a strange object.

"And this fragment." After Officer Otaki checked the scroll, he picked up the fragment.

"It looks like a piece of ceramic." Hattori said as he squatted beside him.

The shape of the fragments is not very regular, and there is a little bit of burnt black on them.

"Could that fragment be the same as the one found on the charred body in the previous murder case?" Kazuha and Xiaolan, who successfully found their wallets, also came back.

He Ye heard such a conversation yesterday.

Her father and Hattori's father said that a piece of fragment was found on the charred body found in the inner flood channel thirteen years ago, and on the charred body found in the outer flood channel before that.

"Moreover, on the previous piece, you can vaguely see the words eight hundred and forty-eight written on it," He Ye recalled.

"Eight hundred and forty-eight?"

"Did they say what it meant?" Hattori became more and more confused the more he listened.

Could it be that this is some kind of serial murder case and the murderer has killed 848 people?

"They said it seemed to be part of the treasure, and that it was a huge treasure left by people all over the world." He Ye shook his head repeatedly, not understanding what the two riddlers meant in the car.

"Gold?" Qiangda Ikumi noticed that Conan was staring at the fragment carefully, walked behind him, took a look and asked.

This piece of treasure seemed to be stained by something.

"Well, but based on this alone, it's hard to tell what the treasure is. Besides, it's a mystery why Kato-san left the other members and climbed up to the roof of the castle tower alone, and the plastic fragments are also puzzling. And before he died, he pointed his finger to the sky..."

Conan seemed not to notice who was standing behind him. He looked at the fragment and began to reason quietly to himself.

"..." Hattori saw that Ikumi Gunada's eyes gradually changed. She seemed to be looking at Kudo in front of him seriously, and he wiped his sweat.

Hey, hey, hey, before you speak or do anything, can you please look around?

“Ahhh?!”

It was not until Conan was kicked in the butt by the repairman that he came to his senses. He met Ikumi Gunda's eyes, scratched his head and smiled innocently.

This, this is what Hattori-san told me, do you believe it?
"Fool……"

Hattori glanced at Conan.

I kept my mouth shut today. I didn't call you Kudo, so you're the one making people suspicious.

"Could it be possible that those plastic fragments are traces left behind by a bomb explosion?" Ikumi Gunda had also seen the charred plastic fragments in the evidence bag.

But the person she was asking seemed a little strange, as it was the innocent-looking Conan in front of her.

"How would I know such a thing, right, Brother Lin Feng..."

Conan blinked and looked at the repairman.

"Didn't Hawaii teach you how to tell the difference?"
