The case ended faster than Mochizuki expected.
Since the entire crime scene was completely burned by the fire, the trace inspection team could not find any useful information.
With only the bomb information provided by the three Mochizuki people, it was impossible to carry out the subsequent investigation work. Officer Megure could only start with the only person who died at the scene.
As a result, the entire case was revealed to the world in an instant. The smell of gunpowder that Mochizuki and the others smelled was one of the tools used in magic performances.
The sources of all suspicious items were found on the list of items provided by Ms. Kuroba Chikage.
According to Officer Megure, this was an unfortunate accident. Terai Kinosuke, who was originally his partner, was sent back to get the magic props.
He could only cooperate with the host whom he was not familiar with, which led to the failure of this magic show. After all, according to Kuroba Toichi's idea, the flames would not burn for that long.
It's just that he himself never managed to escape, and finally he ignited the spare gunpowder in the magic props, triggering the explosion.
As for the astonishing amount of gunpowder, Kuroba Chikage also gave a reasonable explanation. The magic show is not only performed in this place, there are many touring performances in other places, and the gunpowder is the entire amount.
Although Mochizuki didn't believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world, but the case had been investigated to this point and the two parties had reached a tacit settlement, there was no reason for her to hold on to it.
He could only turn his attention back to the gems Kidd left behind.
The two consecutive magic shows had a premise that she had always ignored, that is, they were both performed at night, or to be more precise, under the illumination of the moonlight.
Although this guess seemed quite unreliable, Mochizuki still wanted to give it a try.
What if the moonlight in this world has this magical power?
Mochizuki checked the weather conditions while cooking. She couldn't judge the four o'clock and eight seasons here at all based on her previous experience and could only rely on the weather forecast.
She couldn't tell whether the moon would appear at night, so she could only be prepared at any time.
"Just a piece of broken stone, is it really that magical?"
Matsuda looked at the sapphire in Mochizuki's hand and couldn't understand why she was so persistent. It was not time to analyze why the famous Kaitou Kidd was burned to death by the magic he performed.
Although Officer Mumu's summary of the case seemed reasonable, it could only deceive those people who didn't know the truth. He didn't believe it at all anyway.
Judging from the situation at the scene, it was more like Kidd was locked in the magic prop and couldn't get out, and was burned alive in the end.
The only person who could do such a cruel thing was his biggest enemy, the legendary mysterious organization.
"Don't be so impatient, Xiao Zhenping. The market valuation of this gemstone is actually not high. It's just that sapphires of this quality are rare, so the tide will increase."
"In Kidd's theft career, there were many things more valuable than this gem, but they never attracted such harsh revenge."
"But this time there was an exception. Kidd has already given the gem to others, but these people still want to kill him. This only shows that this gem is not simple."
Hagiwara Kenji held the sapphire in his hand and took out the small flashlight in his pocket to study it carefully. For ordinary people, it is indeed very valuable, but for those who are really rich, this gem is not even a foil. Not really.
What magical charm is there that makes that organization so crazy?
"Then let's go!"
Matsuda Jinpei directly opened the door to Mochizuki's office and said impatiently to the two people who were still studying.
The Metropolitan Police Department is surrounded by tall buildings. If you want to see the moonlight at this time, you can only go to the top floor.
If he had studied this gem earlier, he would have saved these two people from being nervous every day. If he had known it would be such a boring thing, he should have gone home and slept like the squad leader.
Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji led the way, and Mochizuki followed closely with the gem in his arms. The top floor of the Metropolitan Police Department was locked all year round, and people without a key could not get up. This was her first time here.
Matsuda skillfully took out a piece of iron wire and fiddled with the keyhole twice. The lock, which was about the size of two fists, yielded with a click.
"sharp!"
Mochizuki looked at Matsuda with some admiration, and finally knew who had Midorikawa Hikari's lock-picking skills coming from. They were from the same origin.
"Right here."
The three of them walked around the top floor and finally found a suitable place.
Mochizuki took out the gem and examined it carefully in the moonlight.
The originally dead sapphire seemed to have been suddenly turned on. Red threads as small as dust gathered from the center of the gem and gradually spread to the periphery.
The powerful energy that shocked her also became active in the gem again.
Mochizuki looked at the gem in front of her with some excitement. The formation she used to contact the underworld lacked a spiritual substance as the formation eye.
She originally planned to use her own flute instead, but she didn't expect to get such a useful thing from Kidd.
"call out!"
The sharp sound of breaking through the air roared from a distance and reached his ears in an instant. Wangyue had no time to react and could only instinctively push the two people next to him to the ground.
The missed bullet shot through the window of the building next to it, directly shattering the entire glass.
Fortunately, the nearby high-rise buildings are all office areas. At this time, no one should be working inside.
"Are you okay?"
Mochizuki breathed a sigh of relief, ignored the sapphire that fell on the ground, and immediately checked the surrounding environment.
Their position was really awkward, surrounded by tall buildings on all sides. With this height difference, sniping at them was as easy as shooting at a target.
The most outrageous thing is that there are so many places suitable for sniping. Even if they can determine the approximate location of the opponent based on the direction in which the bullets are fired, there are really too many places to exclude.
Mochizuki himself was not afraid, but the two lying on the ground were a bit dangerous.
"Be careful, the entire top floor is within the opponent's sniper range."
Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei lay on the ground and did not dare to show their heads. The shot just now was aimed at Mochizuki, and they could only give it away in vain.
Mochizuki nodded. The other party was very cautious and only fired one shot. After the miss, she stood still and did not move, but the other party did not react at all.
If her prediction was correct, the shooter had most likely evacuated, and even if they rushed over now, they wouldn't be able to find any clues.
Matsuda and Hagiwara had safely hid in the corridor, and Mochizuki had no choice but to pick up the sapphire that fell on the floor and walk towards the exit.
I have been very busy with work recently and the data of the book is also very poor. Starting from tomorrow, I can only update it once! (-----___-----)
