Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 157
Chris woke up early in the morning and received some bad news.

First, I don't know what happened. In just one night, Jintian Yiyi's favorability dropped by 10 points, and it was dropped twice.

Second, he seemed to have been drugged last night, otherwise he, who has always been insomnia, could not have fallen asleep so easily.Besides, he was awakened by a sudden knock on the door the next morning.

Third, the reason why someone knocked on his door hastily was because something serious happened again.

Last night, the log cabin built by Takashi Yashishima caught fire, because his place is remote, and the neighbor is the dead Kakimoto Asahi, so he was not called to have breakfast until the fire was almost extinguished in the morning Discovered by Hidesaku Iwata.

Everyone gathered together to look at the scene of the fire with green smoke, feeling a chill in their hearts, because everyone remembered the burned Japanese doll yesterday.

Sure enough, in the ruins of the fire, everyone found Yashishima Takazo, who had been burned beyond recognition, and his body was also brutally dismembered.

It seems that this fire was not an accident, but someone deliberately set fire to burn the body.

The murderer strikes again!
As usual, Kohei Huomura performed the autopsy, Mao Xingzi also knew about this, so he monitored and assisted, and others investigated the scene.

"Where is the fire?" Jin Tianyi asked while searching.

"It should be on Yashishima, because when I came, Kakimoto's log cabin hadn't been burned yet." Hidesaku Iwata replied.

"Look here!" Chris seemed to have discovered something.

"Ah!" Misakubi and Miyuki screamed in fright.

This is a human hand that has not been burned. It seems that it was made by Yashishima Takashi. I don't know why it appeared in the open space outside the fire scene.

In the fire scene, everyone found a half-burnt tape recorder that was barely usable.

"I understand...an ancient poem...misunderstood...to make it clear...the vermilion bird is actually..."

Yashishima Takazo left only a few words in the tape recorder, but this alone is enough to show that he seemed to have unlocked the code of the ancient poem during his lifetime.

"Another person who was close to the treasure was killed!" Jintian said one by one.

"In the legend of Shantong, Shantong attacked those who coveted the treasure and burned them with fire, which means that the souls of the dead will never be reborn." Yadi Jiuyi said.

Even he couldn't relax this time, after all his partner was dead and he was the only one left.

"The method this time is the same as last time. Combining the charred body parts and the intact arm, he was also killed by cutting his throat with a knife, and then the body was dismembered and burned a few hours later," Kamura Kohei began Describe the results of his autopsy.

This time Mao Xingzi was also present, and he had no chance to tamper with the autopsy results.

"The corpse is burnt like this, and the spots and rigor can't be seen. Can you find out the exact time of death?"

"The time of death can also be judged according to the degree of digestion of the stomach contents." Mao Xingzi said.

"That's right. According to the degree of digestion of the stomach contents, Yashishima died between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] last night, and was dismembered three to five hours later."

"It's almost the same time that Kakimoto died..."

"Mr. Huomura, where did this watch come from?" Jintian Yiyi picked up a broken watch from beside the corpse. The watch was completely damaged, and the pointer pointed to eleven fifteen.

"It was found in a pocket of clothing from the remains of the body, who was very lucky not to have been completely burned."

"Then... the incident of Mr. Yashishima's murder can be accurate to around [-]:[-]!" Kaneda said one by one.

"why?"

"Look at the severed hand that hasn't been burned, there are traces of wearing a watch on it, but the watch appeared in the pocket, which proves that the deceased put the watch in the pocket for some reason before he was alive, and finally when he was attacked It was broken, but the murderer didn't know about it, so he just left it in the body pocket."

"But what if this watch is a deliberate hoax to confuse the time of death!" Yadi Jiuyi retorted.

"If it was a hoax, why didn't the murderer put the watch on the intact hand? The scene of the fire changes rapidly, and this watch survived only by luck. It couldn't have been left on purpose by the murderer." Kazuhiro Kaneda explain.

"In this case, let's just look for everyone's alibi at [-]:[-] last night, but it's possible that everyone has an alibi!"

This time, of course, it is impossible for everyone to have an alibi. Chris did not. He fell asleep at a little past ten o'clock last night!
hateful!

Unexpectedly, he miscalculated and fell into the murderer's trap!

How to do?
"Miss Xiaobi and I have been preparing breakfast for tomorrow and this morning in the main house until 11:30. Although we are not together all the time, the time apart will never exceed 10 minutes." Eisaku Iwata said.

"Yes, we can testify to each other about that."

"I was also in the same room as Hajime at the time." Nanase Miyuki said.

"Wow~~" Yadi Hisayoshi made a sound of unknown meaning.

This talent is serious, and it doesn't take long for him to germinate.

"I'm just helping Hajime sort out the information!" Nanase Miyuki hurriedly argued.

"There's no need to explain in such a hurry, we all understand." Yadi Jiuyi's evil smile looked really awkward.

"I was in Mr. Yadi's cabin at that time last night. Mr. Yadi can testify for me." Mao Xingzi said.

"Aren't you guys together too!" Miyuki said unconvinced.

"What do children know! Don't ask around." Yadi Jiuyi yelled loudly.

Looking at him like that, it doesn't seem like he had some kind of charming affair, but he seems to have suffered a disadvantage.

Now it's just Himura Kohei and Chris left.

"I... I stayed in the cabin by myself last night and didn't go out." Kohei Kamura's voice trembled.

"Who can prove it?" Yadi Jiuyi asked.

"Proof? I'm alone, where is the proof!"

"Hmph! It really is you! You must be the murderer!" Yadi Jiuyi went up and grabbed Kamura Kohei by the neck and questioned loudly.

"You're talking nonsense!" Huomura struggled fiercely, but although Yadi Hisayoshi was short in stature, his strength was solid.

Facing this farce, Kindaichi looked at Chris seriously.

"Chris, we sent you back to the cabin before ten o'clock last night, where did you go after that?"

"That's right! Isn't there another child who didn't give his alibi? Why are they all coming towards me!" Huo Cun shouted anxiously.

"I..." Chris couldn't speak, he really didn't think of any good countermeasures, because he really didn't have an alibi.

"Chris..." Nanase Miyuki looked at Chris worriedly.

"I... I also stayed in the cabin alone, and no one testified."
