The soles of his shoes stepped on the wet floor, and Ye Gengyi walked around the ruins of the collapsed building and came to the room where Shitara Genzaburo was burned to death.
He was not here to help Haga Kyosuke destroy evidence.
After all, that person's motive for committing the crime was too obvious, and his perspective on the problem was also lacking. Unless he gave up the subsequent murder plan, otherwise he would help him cover up such a crude murder method. If he were not careful, he would definitely get himself involved.
Ye Gengyi's purpose was very simple. He just wanted to see if he could find more clues about the mysterious lines on the palm of his hand from the traces left on the body.
The fire started near the ashtray on the coffee table, and the cigarette butt just happened to light the newspaper.
Thinking about it, Shitaku Xiansanlang probably inhaled an overdose of carbon monoxide while sleeping, causing damage to the central nervous system. After waking up, he exhausted his last strength and still couldn't escape from the room.
Hmm... It's also possible that Kyosuke Haga used some kind of hypnotic drug directly before setting the fire.
Ye Gengyi stood in the middle between the sofa and the door. After using his back to block the sight that might come from the corridor, he stretched out his left hand and put a virtual pressure on the body.
After a few seconds, nothing happened.
However, he still noticed something strange...
"The sensing range has become larger. When the fire broke out, I felt the heartbeats of Shitara Choichiro and Shitara Kanone when I got closer to the annex. Now the detection range has increased by 20 in straight line distance. Mi, um... Although the upper limit is unclear at the moment, one thing that is certain is that those two people are indeed the targets of Kyosuke Haga."
Ye Gengyi thought thoughtfully, and when he took his palm back, the extending feeling disappeared again.
After trying this two or three times, and temporarily assuming that this was a magnetic field effect, Ye Gengyi no longer wasted time. The bright silver liquid overflowed along the fingertips like water droplets, and then dripped onto Shitara Xiansanlang's scorched body. skin, seeping into the other person's heart.
…
the other side.
Main floor living room.
Several people sat around the table, and Shitara Renxi also told the reason why the violin would be given the cursed title.
Except that 30 years ago, Haga Kyosuke's father was invaded and killed by robbers.
The year before last, Genzaburo's wife Shitara Nagami, who had particularly good motor skills, accidentally stepped on the stairs and died.
Then last year, Shitara Renxi's father Shitara was born. On the day of his birthday party, he accidentally hit a rusty railing and fell off the balcony and died on the spot...
And then there is Shitara Genzaburo, who was burned to death in the fire today, even though he has never touched the Stradivarius again in these years...
But the reason for this is also because when I was young, I practiced on that violin in order to prepare for overseas performances. As a result, I got tenosynovitis, so I had no choice but to change my career to a conductor.
"It would be too scary to say it was accidental..."
Mouri Kogoro first lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth, then took out a pen and paper and sorted out the clues, and couldn't help but complain:
"People have been killed during birthday banquets for three consecutive years. If this continues, Mr. Tiao Yilang, it would be better not to hold birthday banquets again in the future..."
"I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it," Kyosuke Haga said with a hint of melancholy, "because he has pneumonia, and the doctor said he only has less than half a year to live."
"Is this, is this true?" Mao Lilan was surprised.
"Alas..." Shitara Renxi sighed, "I originally wanted to celebrate him well today..."
"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do," the housekeeper pushed open the door and entered the room, explaining: "The master has already ordered that tonight's banquet be cancelled, and my wife has gone back to her room to rest after the treatment because she was too tired."
"That's it, then we won't stay and disturb you."
Mouri Kogoro crushed the cigarette in the ashtray and said to Shitara Renki:
"Miss Renxi, I'm sorry... Although I am a famous detective, it is better to ask a monk or a witch to remove the curse."
"Okay," Shitara Renxi looked disappointed, "I thought the detective could solve everything."
"Uh...hehehe..." Mouri Kogoro could only laugh.
At this time, Conan, who had just discovered the romanization of the names of the deceased, noticed the cigarette butts in the ashtray:
"Whose cigarette does this belong to? It looks different from Uncle Maori's brand..."
"It should belong to Mr. Xuan Sanlang."
The housekeeper pushed up her glasses frame and said, "Except for Mr. Maori, he is the only one smoking in the whole villa."
Hear this.
Conan trembled as if he was electrocuted, and ran towards the annex without saying a word.
Although Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan were a little confused, they still chased them out.
When the three of them ran into the fire scene in the annex, Ye Gengyi had already cleaned the blood on his palms and was about to call Kuroba Kaito.
However, due to the intrusion of a certain god of death, he had no choice but to postpone this action and casually put the phone back into his pocket.
"Brother Gengyi..."
Conan was startled when he saw Ye Gengyi here.
No way……
He suddenly had the idea that he was a step too late, and hurried to the ashtray to observe.
Sure enough, although part of the cigarette butt was burned to powder by the fire, it was still clear that there were no tooth marks on the remaining filter tip.
This is not what the dead left behind...
"Hey, brat, what on earth are you doing!" Mouri Kogoro ran over, picked up a random elementary school student, and gave him an iron fist of education.
Wait until he's done beating him.
Ye Gengyi on the side said slowly: "I guess I discovered that the fire was not an accident, but man-made, right?"
"What? Gengyi, you said this was a murder case?" Mouri Kogoro was surprised.
"Let Conan explain. This kid has been smart since he was a child."
Ye Gengyi didn't want to expose that he wasn't looking for clues and was just looking at the corpses here, so he naturally handed over the explanation work to a certain detective.
Conan lived up to his expectations. He covered his head and said aggrievedly, "Uncle, look at the cigarettes left by Mr. Xuan Sanlang..."
He then explained in detail the tooth marks on the cigarette holder.
However, Mouri Kogoro refuted it on the grounds that no tooth marks were found on any filter in the secret room or on site:
"Hmph! A kid is a kid. If you ask me, the teeth marks on the cigarette butts on the main building may have been bitten by chance."
You stupid uncle, I suspect that in addition to your poor brain, you also have problems with your most basic ability as a detective to doubt everything.
Conan had no choice but to say the Roman pronunciation of 'danjirou', the 'danjirou' of Haga Kyosuke's father playing Erlang, the 'emi' of Nagami, the 'furuto' of Furuto, and the 'genzaburou' of Genzaburou.
"If the murderer really follows this pattern, then the next 'h' will most likely be Mr. Kyosuke's 'haga', or Sister Renxi's 'hasuki'..."
