Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

Chapter 274 Another suicide?

"Okay, stop messing around and look what I found!" Hattori ran over excitedly, only to find that the two people were discussing eating Conan.

That's too cruel. Can't you kill him before eating him?
"Dry battery?" Conan finally escaped from the clutches of the repairman and looked up at what Hattori was holding in his hand.

"Well, it looks like it was probably on Mr. Kato's body when he caught fire." Hattori wrapped a No. 1 battery in a handkerchief, which also had some burnt marks on it.

"Dry batteries, charred plastic fragments... It looks like we don't have to wait for the police's test results."

Qingtian Yumi put her finger on her chin and said thoughtfully.

With this thing, the option of suicide can basically be eliminated, although no one believes that the other party committed suicide in the first place.

"In other words, someone made a device that explodes and causes fire and placed it on the roof of the castle tower, waiting for Kato to climb up there and pick it up, right?" Lin Feng glanced at Toyama Ginjiro, who had a serious expression on his face not far away.

The level of police investigation is really worrying.

It was these two guys who rushed to the castle tower first, and now even this key evidence was missed.

"That should be right. This can also explain the origin of the explosion." Hattori nodded, wondering what kind of equipment the criminal had placed on the roof.

There were lighters at the scene, but no cigarette butts or anything like that, which means...

As they were thinking about it, Conan suddenly turned on the flashlight function of his watch and smiled innocently.

Lighting equipment, right?

……

"Conan should be okay, right?" Xiaolan and the other two had a simple dinner and started walking back.

"I told you not to worry. Heiji and Lin Feng are all here. No bad guy would dare to get close to them. And that little guy is obviously more interested in the case. No wonder he can chat with Heiji."

He and Ye left angrily before, but it wasn’t because he was really angry. On the contrary, he really liked the look of his childhood sweetheart when he solved the case.

However, just as Lin Feng said, these two high school detectives are both stupid.

"Yeah, I also feel that Conan may become a great detective in the future." Xiaolan nodded, agreeing with Conan's talent in this area.

"Children are unpredictable. They may like this today and that tomorrow."

As the two talked, they walked onto the Shinbashi Bridge outside Osaka Castle, preparing to return to the castle tower to reunite with everyone.

"Ding"

The crisp sound of a kerosene lighter being opened was heard, and a dark shadow stood in the middle of the bridge, attracting the attention of the two men.

Xiaolan and Heye stopped at the same time.

It's a bit strange. He doesn't hold an umbrella on a rainy day, and he has his back to people, holding a lighter. What is he doing?
The next moment, the other party really did something strange. He put the lighter close to his clothes, igniting a raging fire. The whole person was wrapped in the flames. He struggled for a few times and fell under the bridge.

Hearing the sound of someone falling into the water, Xiaolan and Ye looked at each other, then rushed over and looked under the bridge.

The two of them showed horrified expressions. A person was floating on the water, his whole body was on fire, motionless...

"what!!!"

Screams cut through the night.

Even Lin Feng and the others who were near the castle tower heard this shout.

"Something happened!" Conan's face changed, and he rushed towards the direction where the sound came from with his short legs.

"Follow up."

Qiangtian Yumei pulled Lin Feng.

Even if he is smart enough and has many suspicious features, he is still a child after all. If he encounters any problems, he may not be able to solve them. "What?"

The repairman who was chatting with Uncle Maori was forced to run.

Is there anything that the killer football can’t solve?
In addition to several detectives, the police also acted quickly, rushed to the scene, and rescued the person.

"The deceased's name is Katagiri Maho. Like Mr. Kato, he was a member of the tour group. According to what Kazuha and the others said, this person suddenly set his coat on fire, then his body tilted and fell off the bridge."

Officer Otaki took out a small notebook and spoke to Ginjiro Toyama who was beside him.

However, this man was neither burned to death nor drowned, but died from a severe blow to the back of the head.

"I think maybe when she fell, her head hit the bridge pier and then fell into the water." Officer Otaki leaned over and pointed at the bridge pier.

Ok……

This conjecture is not impossible, it can only be said that it is still very imaginative.

"So it was suicide?" Uncle Maori frowned.

He lit the fire himself and then jumped into the river. There was no one else there, so it seemed there was no other possibility.

But what is going on with this tour group?

How come two people died in fire one after another?

"Waha, was it true that Miss Katagiri only had a lighter in her hand at that time and nothing else?" The first thought in Hattori's mind was that it might be related to explosives or something like that.

"Well, we only saw the lighter, nothing else."

He Ye nodded.

Although it was dark, the lighter still provided a little light, and the other party had indeed set himself on fire with the lighter.

"Is there really no one else? Could they have run away in the dark?" Conan also asked.

"She was the only one on the bridge, but there seemed to be a figure holding an umbrella running over, taking a look, and then running away in a panic."

Xiaolan thought about it and pointed her finger to the other side of the bridge.

"It must be him. He must have lit the fire." Hattori said affirmatively.

"This inference is more ridiculous than hitting your head on a bridge pier." The repairman reached out and patted Hattori on the shoulder.

Don't be silly, you can tell it's impossible no matter how you look at it.

According to what Xiaolan and Ye said, Katagiri Maho lit herself on fire while standing in the middle of the bridge. How did the person who ran over afterwards light the fire?

"This is impossible. How could a person set himself on fire for no reason?" Hattori still didn't believe that such a thing could happen. He turned around and ran to the corpse, pulling away the white cloth.

"Isn't this against the rules?" Lin Feng looked at Yu Mei.

"Of course." Ikumi Qiangda shook her head when she saw Hattori pulling the dead man's clothes.

The more you care about something, the easier it is to be carried away by it.

As a detective, she could understand the helplessness the other party felt after a murder like this happened, especially when the police and witnesses said things that could not possibly be true.

But as a coroner, seeing this shabby guy grabbing the deceased's clothes with his bare hands, I really wanted to kick him twice!

There is no need for her to take action.

In the darkness, a big hand grabbed Hattori by the collar and punched him hard, sending him flying.
