Conan’s Corpse Picker

   The policeman was startled, followed his direction and saw that there was indeed a lighter on the relatively flat roof ridge, which could meet the "burning" death of the deceased.

   He took a few pictures, picked up the lighter, put it in the evidence bag, and was slightly startled: "Strange..."

  Under the lighter, there was a fan-shaped dry mark.

  The eaves and ridges have been soaked by rain, and the color is darker, but the fan shape is dry and light, as if it has not been exposed to rain.

   Although there is a lighter blocking it, it is normal to be dry, but the lighter is a flat cuboid, and it seems that it cannot be blocked into a fan shape anyway.

   The eyes of the detectives were better than the other, and they all saw it.

   and soon understood the cause.

"It seems that before the lighter, in the same position, there was a near-cylindrical object." Jiang Xia gestured, "First, a circular drying mark was left on the roof ridge, and then the thing was taken away, and the lighter's One corner was placed on the circle to block the rain. The rest of the circle got wet and ended up in this weird fan shape."

   "A cylindrical thing? Could it be the bomb he used to kill himself?"

   A voice floated behind him.

   Jiang Xia looked back and saw that the other four members of the tour group had sneaked in at some point. It seemed that the deceased had been to the Tianshou Pavilion before he disappeared at noon, and they were identifying all the places the deceased had been to before his death.

   The woman who played "Ning Ning" sighed, raised her hand and pushed her glasses: "He's been looking forward to this trip, but he didn't expect that he was looking forward to this kind of thing."

   "Master" looked at the lighter brought by the forensic officer and recognized it: "It really belongs to him."

"Tokugawa Ieyasu" next to    twisted his beard:

   "Then the situation is obvious _ He put a bomb into something cylindrical, then came upstairs and lit himself up... tsk tsk tsk, at such a young age, I really can't think of it."

Hattori Heiji's eyes twitched, and he felt suspicious how these guys looked at it: "The lid of the lighter is closed, and it's just placed where the ridge is flat. If he really ignited the bomb with the lighter at that time, he definitely wouldn't have the energy to put it on again. Put the lighter squarely back on the ridge."

   "Okay, let's go down first." The Otaki Police Department looked at the messy people at the scene and nodded, "Since there is any doubt, let's check it slowly, don't worry."

  …

When    went back downstairs, the police officers who stayed below had cleaned out the things the body was carrying.

  Wallets, cigarettes, keys, cell phones, watches. These are normal items.

   But there are two things that are strange.

  ——It was actually a simple scroll and a gray fragment.

   "Do you still bring scrolls when you go out?" Suzuki Sonoko showed an astonishing look, "These people are too engaged in their performances, are they using scrolls as notepads?"

  Otaki Police Department picked up the scroll and unfolded it carefully, and saw that the exposed paper had been burnt to tatters. It turned out to be blank with nothing written on it, only the word "Dragon" in the upper left corner was the most conspicuous.

  Otaki Police Department was at a loss: "'Dragon'? What does this mean?"

Next to   , the four people in the tour group heard this keyword, and their expressions changed slightly. They turned their heads and looked over, their eyes were sharp, and there seemed to be some covetousness among them.

   Jiang Xia pointed to the side: "This shard of pottery is also very strange, not like something you should bring on a tour."

   "Shards of pottery?" Conan suddenly remembered something, looked closer for a moment, and blurted out, "The charred corpse found in Osaka Castle earlier also had similar fragments. Could this be a serial murder case?!"

   Jiang Xia was startled: "Serial murder case?"

   Several other high school students were also startled: "A scorched corpse? Have other scorched corpses been found here?"

   Jiang Xia: "..."

  ... failed to respond to the crowd. The fake detective silently recorded this tiny mistake and decided to improve it in the future.

However, although the client's requirements were high, the other people didn't think there was any problem - they were actually very concerned about the keyword "serial murder", but due to the influence of the freshly charred corpse just now, several people are now concerned about the "charred corpse". "The response is bigger.

Heiji Hattori instinctively made a little reasoning before his brain had fully reacted: Maybe Jiang Xia's brain turned fast, so his focus went directly from the scorched corpse to the serial murder case it led to... Gee, as expected of him.

  Otaki Police Department was also a little surprised.

   But he didn't seem surprised by the case, but by the fact that Conan knew about it.

Conan regained his senses, facing the questioning eyes of the Otaki Police Department, remembering his source, and smiled awkwardly: "Well, last night, I slipped into the yard to play, and heard the conversation between Uncle Hattori and Uncle Toyama - they It is said that the charred corpse found in the inner moat 13 years ago, and the charred corpse found in the outer moat a while ago, both carried a similar piece of pottery. Forty-eight'."

"Eight hundred and forty-eight?" Suzuki Sonoko was startled, he couldn't help but moved to Jiang Xia's side, then hugged Ma Lilan's arm, suppressing his shock, "Could it be that the serial killer has already killed more than 800 people? , now the eight hundred and forty-ninth?!"

  Conan couldn't help but glance at her: "In a peaceful modern society, how could it be possible to kill so many people without being discovered. You think too much."

After   , he found Jiang Xia looking at him, Conan was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing, I just think what you said makes sense. And there is only one fragment of numbers, it really doesn't look like a murderer's count." Jiang Xia looked away and brought the topic back to the case, "So this piece What are fragments?"

  Conan was really attracted by the case again.

   He shook his head and sighed regretfully: "I don't know. I asked last night, but they didn't tell me."

   Jiang Xia took a closer look at the pottery piece: "There are some things like gold powder on the inside, which look like handicrafts with a certain age."

Next to   , Conan and Hattori Heiji are also racing against time to think. This case looks suspicious: why did the deceased act alone before leaving the team? How can a good person suddenly explode? What's the cylindrical thing that hangs on the roof?

in addition……

   Hattori Heiji touched his chin and wondered, "Why did that person stare at Jiang Xia before he died?"

  Conan corrected: "It's staring at the umbrella in Jiang Xia's hand." As he spoke, he tried to scatter his thoughts, "Does the umbrella mean 'raining'?"

   Hattori Heiji picked up on his thoughts: "Speaking of rain, it is the 'Dragon Tiger Stone' of Osaka Castle."
