Ke Xue's Kogoro

Chapter 185 The Castle Tower on a Rainy Night
The night is hazy, and the lights are just coming on.

"Oh, it's time to go back? Looking at the weather, it feels like it's going to rain."

Kogoro vaguely felt that it was going to rain.But this feeling is very mysterious and has no basis.

"Wait a moment!"

Heye rummaged through his satchel and said with some embarrassment: "My wallet seems to be missing..."

Hattori is worthy of being a straight man of steel, so he directly yelled at him: "You idiot! Will the wallets that ordinary people put in their satchels still fall?"

"How about we go back to Osaka Castle and look for it?"

"Please, we are working as tour guides, how dare you let Uncle and his family wait for us outside."

Fei Yingli comforted, "It's okay, let's help He Ye get back his wallet first."

He Ye looked at Fei Yingli gratefully and said, "Really? That's great. To be honest, that wallet is very meaningful to me. There are many amulets in it."

"No, why did you buy so many amulets?"

He Ye said aggrievedly to Hattori: "This, isn't it all bought for you..."

Kazuha's voice became smaller and smaller, and Hattori didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his attitude at all.For him, he and Ye have grown up together.

A drop of rain fell on Heye's cheek, and then slid down.

Hattori was in a hurry: "Why cry about such a trivial matter? You don't have much money in your wallet, do you?"

He Ye was surprised, Xiao Wulang looked up at the sky, and reminded: "Let's find a place to shelter from the rain, it has already started to rain."

Conan pointed to the convenience store on the side of the road and said, "Let's go there to hide from the rain, and it's better to buy an umbrella for Aunt Eri."

Fei Yingli rubbed Conan's big head, and said with relief: "Conan has a heart."

The group ran to the convenience store, and Kogoro went to pick up a big umbrella first, so that Fei Yingli could not catch a cold in the rain.

And He Ye was recognized by the store owner. It turned out that when He Ye was buying a camera here this afternoon, he forgot his wallet here.

Kogoro said: "You guys wait here, I'll go outside and call a taxi."

Just a few steps away, Kogoro heard a "boom" and saw that there was thick smoke rising from a beam of the Tianshou Pavilion.

Conan and Hattori who heard the movement also ran out, and saw a figure wrapped in flames and screaming continuously, falling from the roof beam.

"Husband, what happened?"

Kogoro signaled to Concubine Yingli and the others to be safe and calm, and persuaded, "You guys stay here and don't come out to get wet, those two boys and I..."

Kogoro turned his head and saw that Conan and Hattori had already run to the place where the figure fell, so he said the rest: "Go over there and have a look."

When Kogoro came over, he saw a man lying on the ground.

"What's going on? Ambulance or police car?"

Conan squatted next to the corpse, observing the corpse, while Hattori called the police.

Conan said: "The man is already dead, and the cause of death should be a fall, but how could he suddenly catch fire on a heavy rainy day? Besides, why did he climb up to such a high beam by himself?"

Kogoro squatted beside him holding an umbrella.Indeed, the exposed skin of the corpse was covered with scorched black marks, obviously it was burnt by the fire just now.And wearing a flammable woolen coat, it doesn't take much effort to burn it.

Judging from the situation seen just now, the deceased was burned by the fire and fell from a beam nearly ten meters high, eventually falling to his death.

"First, we ruled out suicide."

Kogoro looked at the badge on the right chest of the deceased seriously, and said with some surprise: "Look, this badge seems to be..."

"The sycamore flower is the family emblem of Toyotomi Hideyoshi."

Conan also looked puzzled, and he said, "Perhaps, the deceased was a fan of Toyotomi Hideyoshi."

Because the police hadn't arrived at the scene yet, Kogoro couldn't do further investigation. He stood up, and at a glance, he found a few people related to the deceased from the crowd who came to eat melons.

Kogoro ordered: "Hattobu, you guard the corpse. Conan searched around to see if he found anything else."

Hattori said: "Understood. The police headquarters is not far from here. I think Officer Otaki will be here soon."

Kogoro nodded and walked towards the group of melon eaters.

"Hey, you guys, should you know the dead over there?"

Standing in front was an old man from the Mediterranean Sea. He had a big belly and was very rich.He asked, "Why are you asking us that?"

Kogoro pointed to the badge on his chest and said, "Because of this family crest, there is also a family crest of Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the chest of the deceased. I think it should be related to some of you."

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi? Could it be Yusuke Kato?"

Mediterranean said to Kogoro: "Can we confirm the corpse?"

Kogoro replied: "I'm a detective, so let's forget it for now. When the police come, you can go and confirm the body. Then, none of you can leave here, and the police will ask you for questioning later. "

Ten minutes later, police officer Otaki came over with his men. The first thing was to ask four related people to come forward to confirm the body.

Just as Kogoro thought, the deceased and these people were indeed related persons.

These people are all members of a tour group. According to them, except for the initiator, the other members are the five of them.

That is to say, a group of netizens discovered and played a role-playing game.

They are the obese old man in the Mediterranean, Yuhiro Izaya, who plays Ieyasu Tokugawa.

Tall and thin man, Toshiaki Fukushima, plays Mitsuhide Akechi.

The bespectacled girl, Katagiri Maho, plays the nanny.

The man with squinting eyes in the middle, Shigehiko Risaka, plays Oda Nobunaga.

The deceased Kato Yusi played Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

After confirming the identity of the deceased, the rest of the tour group were naturally the first to be suspected.

Officer Otaki asked them about their alibi at the time of the incident.However, all four of them witnessed the death of the deceased together, so the alibi is sufficient.

And according to their testimony, they couldn't find the dead early in the morning.

Urohiro Usoya said casually, "I never thought that he would commit suicide."

Shigehiko Risaka said with some regret: "To be honest, he was looking forward to this trip, didn't he? I really can't believe that he would commit suicide."

Katagiri Maho had no doubt that the deceased committed suicide. Instead, he said: "It is difficult for others to understand what everyone is thinking."

Toshiaki Fukushima also agrees with the idea of ​​suicide. He said: "Yes, otherwise, if a person climbs up such a high roof and then falls down with his whole body on fire, it would be suicide no matter how you look at it."
