Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 390 Gunshot Explosion and Corpse in Flame

"The time is up and we can do nothing more to them."

When it was twelve o'clock, Shimaji Samezaki walked into the restaurant slowly, slumped down beside Mori Kogoro, looked at the back of the person who had left, and sighed: "Actually, I, who left the job two years ago, have long since left." Grab their qualifications."

Seeing his decadent appearance, everyone couldn't bear to say anything more to provoke him.

Shimaji Samezaki was stunned for a while, then smiled wryly: "Forget it, forget it, this is fate, just drink it happily!"

Mori Kogoro knew that this old colleague was in a bad mood, so he had to drink with him.

After a few minutes.

Mori Kogoro and Samezaki Shimaji got excited while drinking, and they didn't know when it would end.

"Why don't I go back to my room and sleep first." Yingshu Liulizi said.

On the surface, she is a high school student who cannot drink, and does not need to wait to deal with drunks like Mao Lilan.

Just when Yingshu Liulizi stood up, suddenly...
"Snapped!"

"What's that sound?" Mao Lilan was a little uneasy.

She didn't know what the sound was, but the already vigilant ex-cops and detectives had a bad guess.

It was like a gunshot!
Gunfire from the top deck!
Samezaki Shimaji ran out first, shouting as he ran, "Moori, record the time!"

"It's twelve past eight!"

Everyone rushed to the top deck.

All that could be seen was that the ship's flag was ablaze.

"Shoot...can you light the flag?" Yingshu Liulizi asked subconsciously.

"As long as some combustion aids are painted on the flag in advance." Conan replied subconsciously, and then he reacted and said quickly: "Isn't it always shown on TV?"

"See if there are any abnormalities around!" Shimaji Samezaki commanded habitually.

At this time, the three who had just left, Sadao Jingai, Nagisa Isogai, and Minoru Ebina, rushed over and joined the search team.

As a result, only an old banknote of [-] yuan was found.

The banknote was nailed to the floor with a dagger, and a line of writing was written on it.

"Poseidon, the sea god, gave me life, and my shadow has been resurrected!"

People who saw these words were very surprised. Does the metaphorical meaning of this sentence mean that Ye Caisan did not die when he fell into the sea at that time, and now he is back to take revenge?
"Help!" Jingjing Dadao looked terrified after seeing the words on the banknote, and he shouted loudly.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, and he shouted: "He is still alive! He is not dead!"

Following Sadao Jingi's shout, a huge roar sounded from behind him, followed by rising flames and smoke.

"What's going on this time!"

The sound and flames came from the first deck at the stern, and everyone quickly leaned on the fence and looked down, only to see a raging fire at the stern.

The flame that had just ignited was not too big, and the crew put out the fire with two or three strokes of fire-fighting equipment.

What exploded and burned was the box with the emergency escape ladder placed on the stern deck. It was nothing.
But the problem is that what is inside this box is not an emergency escape ladder, but a person, a burnt person.

The instant high temperature and continuous burning completely scorched the corpse. It is impossible to see the real face of this person at all. Even the figure before death is difficult to identify. It can only be seen that it is a man.

The people on board currently do not have a professional forensic doctor, and Yingshu Liulizi has no way to find Ma Sheng, so they can only use superficial forensic knowledge to examine the corpse.

Neither the time of death nor the cause of death can be determined accurately, but the identity of the person can be determined from the people who were not present on the ship.

The only ones who are absent are Kanie Shihisa, Kameda Teruyoshi, and Ye Saizo.

"Could this person be Mr. Kanie?" Ebina Minoru said, "Look at the gold watch in his hand. Although it has been burned a little out of shape, I asked him the time several times before, so I can still recognize it." It was this gold watch that he wore on his hand."

"After what you said... do you think this piece of sweater looks like Kanie's sweater?"

"It's very similar. This fragment also looks like his pants."

"So, the victim is Kanie Kosaku-san..."

"It's scary, he was playing poker with us just now..." Mao Lilan looked away dejectedly, not daring to look at the miserable corpse.

"His corpse is a little strange?" Isogai said, "Look at the posture of the corpse, the upper body stands up, and the arms are raised, as if we are deliberately asking us to look at the watch."

"This, this is a normal phenomenon, called thermal stiffness." Yingshu Liulizi showed off the forensic knowledge she learned from Aso Shi: "The phenomenon that the burning bones and muscles in the corpse condense and shrink due to heat is called thermal stiffness." , There are more muscles in the hands and feet that bend than straighten, so all the joints will be in a semi-bent state, just like a boxer's attacking posture."

"As long as the corpse is in the posture of stretching out its arms and raising its hands, it will naturally appear in this posture after burning." Saizaki Shimaji added.

This kind of little knowledge is also known to most experienced old policemen.

"It's strange, why is the strap of this watch untied?" Conan asked.

"What are you doing here!" Mori Kogoro punched Conan: "You can see this too?"

"But I'm also curious, why is the watch strap untied?" Yingshu Liulizi glanced at Conan who was pulled behind by Mao Lilan, and then asked.

"I think it should have been shaken open when the gasoline tank in the box exploded." Mori Kogoro carefully fiddled with the items at the scene of the fire: "Because the plastic sheet covering the box was also blown away."

"Plastic sheet?"

"Maori and I passed by here before when we were looking for Ye Zaisan. At that time, the box was covered with a plastic sheet with [Emergency Escape Escape] written on it." Samezaki Shimaharu explained.

"Then have you opened it and read it?" Yingshu Liulizi asked.

"No, the box was tied up with a rope at the time, and it was impossible for a person to trap himself in it, so we didn't search it." Maori Kogoro said: "But it doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, there must be no one in it at the time, I will reply Didn’t you see Kanie-san in the restaurant?”

"That's it..." Yingshu Liulizi looked at the corpse carefully, trying to find some clues that she hadn't found, and then she really found it.

"Isn't this silicone!" Yingshu Liulizi said, "This person has had a nose augmentation before...here also..."

"It seems that this person had plastic surgery before."

At some point, Conan stood next to the corpse again: "Maybe he was one of the robbers back then, and later changed his face to escape the pursuit..."

"I think you're right." Yingshu Liulizi said narrowly, "Conan, you are really amazing."

Conan came back to his senses, and quickly pretended to be naive: "Haha, Uncle Maori told me that!"
