Had Hattori Heiji not been present, Otaki Goro really wanted to turn the case into a suicide, and it would be extremely uncomfortable to dispatch the police on this rainy day.
At this time, the forensics department officer said: "Police Department, we found a similar ceramic fragment in Miss Katagiri's pocket, as well as a photo."
The forensic class staff put the ceramics and photos in a plastic bag and handed them over.
Officer Otaki looked suspicious: "Oh, there is such a thing!"
Heiji Hattori also leaned forward and looked at the ceramic fragments, which belonged to the same period as the fragments on the scorched corpse before.
Afterwards, a few people looked at the photo and were shocked!
In the photo, there are a total of five people standing. In the middle is an old man in a suit with hanging white hair. He unrolled a scroll, which was the [Dragon Scroll] that was previously discovered by the self-immolated deceased who fell from the castle tower stairs.
It is intact [Dragon Scroll]!
And there were four people standing beside the old man in the suit, two of them were the deceased in these two cases, the young Yuji Kato and Maho Katagiri!
There are two men remaining beside him, one looks domineering, the other looks cowardly and timid.
The margins of this photo are a bit yellowish, obviously a certain age.
Heiji Hattori couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this: "Uncle Otaki, do you still think this is suicide? This photo has proved that they are indeed connected. They are not strange netizens they met online. Obviously, their deaths must be related to [Golden King] Treasure related."
"Each burnt corpse that self-immolated will carry a piece of ceramics from the same period. Do you still think it is suicide?"
"Also, Officer Otaki, you lifted the female body, there is blood on the coat on her chest."
Otaki Goro immediately ran over and opened the corpse cloth, and indeed found a strange blood stain on his chest.
Hattori Heiji looked confident, his eyes brightened: "The back of the head hits the bridge pier, how could blood splash on the chest? This must be the murderer attacking the dead from behind, and then stained with blood, and then when the corpse was picked up. On the coat of the corpse."
"Although I don't know how the murderer caused Miss Katagiri to jump into the river after setting herself on fire, I'm sure that the murderer must be among those few people."
Hattori Heiji looked coldly at the members of the tour group separated by the police in the distance.
They are Toshiaki Fukushima, a man with a shoehorn face, Shigehiko Kyosaka, a man with squinted eyes, and a bald old man with a string.
Conan kept his chin in contemplation, obviously he got the same inference as Hattori Heiji.
Hattori Heiji snatched the photo, and then walked towards the three.
He came to the three suspects and said directly: "Sorry, I would like to ask, what did you do during the time between leaving the castle tower and returning?"
The bald old man, Huo Wu Yu Xian, spoke first: "I'm so hungry, I ran to the restaurant by myself and had a light meal."
Shigehiko Kyosaka, the squinted man, also said that he ate the meal alone.
Instead, Toshiaki Fukushima sighed for a long time: "I knew Miss Katagiri had decided to do such a thing, so I should just follow her."
Hattori Heiji frowned slightly: "How do you say?"
Toshiaki Fukushima said, "I just went back to the Seven Shots Hotel to change clothes with Ms. Katagiri, but our rooms are on different floors, so we separated. After I changed clothes, thinking about things here, I hurried. Come here."
"But when I was about to cross the bridge, I saw Miss Katagiri self-immolation."
"I think she must be because she saw Kato commit suicide, she was touched by the scene, and she also wanted to die, so she took the same way to end her life, and if she goes back to change clothes, she wants to go decently!"
Toshiaki Fukushima has a pity on his face, but he is the person who socializes with Katagiri the most, so he is most suspected.
Item 0287
Immediately afterwards, Hattori Heiji showed the photo to everyone and asked: "This old photo was found from Miss Katagiri's pocket. Among them, the deceased this time, Yuji Kato and Maho Katagiri are on it. I I want to ask, do you know the other three in this photo?"
"This only fat man, the domineering man next to him, and the old man who opened the dragon scroll in the middle, do you know anyone?"
As soon as they saw this photo, the three people's expressions changed drastically, and they pointed to the domineering man and said, "Isn't this Hirano-kun?"
Kogoro Mori had already searched for Hirano-kun’s residence, and it was the first time that Conan and Hattori Heiji heard Hirano-kun’s name at the Gukurakyo Bridge.
Hattori Heiji immediately asked, "Who is Hirano-kun?"
The bald old man Satoya Yuxian spoke to Hattori Heiji: "Kun Hirano is the organizer of our trip to the Warring States Period. We all met on the Internet, and this trip to the Warring States Period was proposed by Mr. Hirano. of."
Toshiaki Fukushima, a shoehorn-faced man, continued: "He even proposed the role-playing game method, but he did not show up."
Hattori Heiji and Conan murmured secretly in their hearts: They organized this murderous journey, but they didn't show up. This is too weird!!!
The squinted man Kyosaka nodded and agreed with the two said: "But I feel strange that the two who committed suicide today, Kato Yuji and Katagiri Maho have known each other before, why do they pretend not to know each other before us? What?"
Toshiaki Fukushima, a shoehorn-faced man, sighed: "Who knows, maybe the two of them have negotiated to commit suicide together. We can't understand the thoughts of these suicidal people!"
At this time, Officer Otaki, who quietly answered Ginjiro Toyama's call, also approached.
The bald old man Huowu Youxian asked: "Police officer, the rain is getting heavier now, that Miss Katagiri also committed suicide, right?"
Officer Otaki said, "There is no way to make a conclusion about this, but it is very likely that it was suicide."
The bald old man said, "Then we should be able to go. If Hirano is really intoxicated by them and planned this suicide journey, then I have to ask him well."
After that, the bald old man was the first to leave the Bliss Bridge under an umbrella.
And then the shoehorn boy Toshiaki Fukushima also left: "I thought it was a good trip, but I didn't expect to encounter all these bad things."
The squinted man Shigehiko Kyosaka stood there and reminded: "If you want to find Hirano, you only need to search for the [Golden King] page to find out. The owner of the page is Hirano-kun. We met on this page before. , Maybe you can find this guy accordingly."
"Well, I have to go first!"
After he said that, he turned and left. No one could see a sneer at the corner of Kyosaka Shigehiko's mouth after he turned around.
Seeing these three suspects leave, Hattori Heiji and Conan both looked helpless. Neither of them had found the murderer, nor had they cracked the truth about the death of Miss Tong.
The two of them kept standing in the rain, while Otaki Goro ran to order the police officer on the side to bring the body back to the police headquarters.
After a long time, Conan standing on the bridge of Bliss took the lead and said: "The blood stains just found on Miss Katagiri's body are obviously half of the zipper, but none of the three of them wore clothes with zipper. What's the matter? , Could it be that Hirano in the photo was behind the scenes and he did everything?"
"No, I think the murderer was among these three, and he must be wearing clothes with zippers at the time of the attack, but why do you want to wear clothes with zippers?"
At the same time, the two remembered that the corpse was wearing a green windbreaker with a zipper, and suddenly reacted, and there was a flash of light in their eyes.
Hattori Heiji's dark face stretched out: "I'll just say it! This is obviously not in line with common sense, where would I jump into the river to save myself by self-immolation!"
"Moreover, the bridge is at least seven or eight meters from the surface of the water. The seven or eight meters in the TV diving competition is at least one or two meters deep into the water. How can the corpse after being completely submerged in the water continue to be seen burning."
Conan also smiled and said, "Presumably this murderer was wearing a green trench coat and pretending to be Miss Katagiri and jumped down. He first attacked and killed her from behind after meeting Miss Katagiri, and then picked her up and threw her into the river. I didn't expect blood stains on my body, and I didn't expect the blood stains to stand on Miss Katagiri's coat."
Hattori Heiji said: "After the murderer kept Katagiri Masao still, he poured gasoline on him, and he poured a small amount of gasoline on his coat, and then quietly waited for people to pass by on the bridge."
Conan continued: "When Mr. Fukushima passed by, he lit his windbreaker, and then made a struggling look. He would take the opportunity to throw the lighter on the corpse of Katagiri-san. The corpse naturally burned, and the night was too dark. Black, Mr. Fukushima could not find out at all."
