Chapter 279 Sleeping peacefully

"Yes, he was also afraid that no one would pass by for a long time, which might lead to unexpected events, so he made a phone call and personally called in an eyewitness." Hattori smiled when he heard this question and turned to look at Conan.

"Uncle said that Officer Otaki has already found out everything."

"Mr. Fukushima did receive a call from the police, saying that he was to go to the castle tower for questioning. The figure that Xiaolan and the others saw running away quickly was him."

Conan put down the earring-shaped phone and looked up and said.

This part was just as expected.

Shigehiko Wakisaka had already calculated the time, disguised his voice slightly, and called Fukushima Toshiaki to arrange for this eyewitness.

"We were wondering at the time, Officer Otaki never said from the beginning that Katagiri Maho set herself on fire, so why did Mr. Fukushima ask such a question as soon as he showed up."

“It was only when the whole incident became clear that we discovered what role Mr. Fukushima played in it.”

Ikumi Gunda rubbed Conan's dog head and spoke with a smile.

There are quite a lot of messy props.

"What you said sounds feasible, but Wakisaka's clothes and hair didn't seem to be wet, and there was no sign of burns."

Arihiro Kusaya narrowed his eyes and looked at Shigehiko Wakisaka.

Shortly after Katagiri's incident, three people arrived at the scene.

It was unlikely that you could climb out of the river, run to the hotel soaked in water, change clothes and blow-dry your hair in just a dozen minutes.

And self-immolation is no joke. Even burning a little hair will make you a target of suspicion.

"We are just speculating on this point and we have to wait for the police to conduct a follow-up investigation. At that time, Mr. Wakisaka was wearing a diving tights under his coat, which should be able to cover his hair."

Hattori said with a finger on his chin.

This point is indeed not clear enough, but if it also requires the functions of fire prevention and water avoidance, there are actually not many choices.

"Yes, it should be easy to find." Wakisaka Shigehiko let out a long sigh and said with his head raised.

After hearing what these detectives said, it turned out that his carefully planned case was full of loopholes.

“By the way, have you searched that website?”

What Shigehiko Wakisaka was asking about was the webpage of the legendary Golden King that he had told Officer Otaki about before he left.

"I've checked it. That's Mr. Hirano's website, right? The diary that used to be updated every day has been inactive for three weeks."

"Comparing the time, the charred corpse that the police found in the outer flood channel before was probably..." Hattori said in a deep voice.

"In addition, I'm also curious about the other two people in the photo." Qingtian Yumi nodded and continued.

What is the motive for the murder?

A thousand gourds and baskets?
Have all five people in that photo been cleared?
The three people in the photo, Hirano, Kato and Katagiri, have been confirmed dead. The only one left is a middle-aged man, and the old man in the middle holding the scroll is unknown.

Conan also stared at Shigehiko Wakisaka, wanting to know what was going on.

That photo is definitely the key among the keys.

"Everything is just as you said. I killed Hirano, Kato, and Katagiri to avenge my grandfather who loved Toyotomi Hideyoshi but was brutally murdered."

Wakisaka Shigehiko said with his head lowered.

"Your grandfather?"

The three detectives all looked at each other.

"You've all seen it. It's the old man standing in the middle of the photo, unrolling the tornado scroll."

"My grandfather often mentioned to me when he was alive that the scroll he found and the treasure that Toyotomi Hideyoshi once had."

"Including the fact that after he gave up the treasure hunt, he decided to donate the scroll to Osaka for collection, and the endless quarrels between his former treasure-hunting partners."

"I didn't expect that thirteen years ago, after my grandfather persuaded his companions to go to Osaka together, he never came back and there was no news of him."

Shigehiko Wakisaka whispered the story that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.

"Thirteen years ago..."

"Could it be that the charred corpse found in the flood channel that year was it?"

Hattori still remembers the case.

"Yes, I also confirmed this fact through the fragment on his body." "My grandfather got it after finding the Tiger Scroll. No one else knows about the fragment except me."

Wakisaka Shigehiko nodded.

"The secret of the fourth person has been revealed." Qiangtian Yumi couldn't help but frowned.

"Heh, doesn't it feel a bit wrong?"

"Why is the last target the bad house?" Shigehiko Wakisaka saw the expressions of several detectives and said with a smile.

Logically speaking, the last target should be the middle-aged man remaining in the photo.

Zawu Youhong's fat face became increasingly gloomy in the darkness.

"The reason why it took so long to find all of my grandfather's companions is because I never expected that someone would change so thoroughly!"

Shigehiko Wakisaka looked at Arihiro Kusaya with sharp eyes.

The middle-aged man back then has turned into a fat old man with completely different facial features after thirteen years.

"The reasoning game ends here." At this time, Arihiro Kusaya's temperament had changed, from a lamb to a wolf.

Of course, what supports his temperament is mainly the pistol in his hand.

"I never thought that you wanted to kill me for this reason. Anyway, Katagiri should have noticed me as your former companion. I want to thank you for helping me."

Youhong Zawu never thought about revenge.

He always thought that Kato and Katagiri died because of the treasure.

"I see, is it because of the plastic surgery?" Gunda Ikumi nodded, looked at Conan and Hattori, and asked, "How did you finally identify Wakisaka as the criminal?"

"It's an umbrella." Conan smiled, clenched his palm with his index finger slightly raised.

After Mr. Kato fell from the building, he was still breathing. At that time, he and Hattori thought that he raised his hand to give the clue of rain.

In fact, it has two meanings. The first is rain, and the second is an umbrella.

"Golden umbrella?" Qiangtian Yumi nodded with a smile.

Oda Nobunaga's riding staff.

The culprit was indeed pointed out very directly, and that was Wakisaka Shigehiko, who played Oda Nobunaga today.

"Hey, you two are really leisurely..." Hattori subconsciously protected Wakisaka Shigehiko behind him and looked at the two of them speechlessly, still reasoning at this time.

The fat old man opposite is pointing a gun at us!
Zaowu Youhong raised his gun and shouted twice but got no response.

"It's strange, right? Where did all the subordinates who followed you secretly go?" Seeing this scene, Qiangtian Yumi leaned against the wall with her arms folded and said.

"what have you done?!"

Zaowa Youhong's eyes changed.

"Who knows..."

……

In an alley outside an abandoned factory area.

Lin Feng looked at the group of strong men lying on the ground with their eyes rolled back, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What's going on? Everyone has a gun.

Fortunately, I picked up two meat shields.

The case seems a bit big...

In this case, I'm afraid I'll have to have dinner and supper at the police station.

"Uh……"

As the repairman was thinking, a person at his feet seemed to be waking up.

"boom!"

Lin Feng kicked him again.

Okay, sleep soundly...
