30 minutes later.
In front of the garage where the explosion occurred in the mountain house.
When Ye Gengyi and others walked here, the fire inside had been successfully put out by the firefighters.
Although the scene was in a mess, Conan breathed a sigh of relief after observing it for a while.
Because there are too many people present in this villa.
He made a rough estimate and found that there were about 30 to 40 people.
Judging from their clothes and the cars parked outside the courtyard, it was obvious that most of them were guests attending the banquet.
Great, the traces of the explosion are still there... Conan came to the Gongchang Police Department.
Ye Gengyi also came over and asked:
"Police department, how is the situation?"
"The name of the person who was burned to death was Shuto Goki. He was 34 years old and was said to be the president of an IT industry."
Gongchang Police Department briefly explained the situation at the scene: "The cause of the fire was the cigarette in the mouth of the deceased..."
He pointed to the two oil drums lying on the ground in the garage and said:
"Gasoline volatilization filled the entire space. At this time, Mr. Shuto happened to drive back. Because he had a cigarette in his mouth, he accidentally ignited the gasoline in the air, which ultimately led to this tragedy."
"So... the cigarettes in the evidence bag were found at the scene, right?" Ye Gengyi looked at the items in the hands of a forensic officer.
"That's right," Gong Chang Police Department shook his head and sighed: "Because a large amount of dry powder and carbon dioxide were sprayed when putting out the fire, the saliva on it was contaminated. There is no way to identify it from here. We will bring it back to the police station later. There are more professional instruments in the hall, but... I don’t know if they can still be accurately identified.”
The reason why fires are difficult to investigate is actually because the clues and traces left at the scene are difficult to preserve intact.
"Oh, since it was an accident, then when do you think it would be appropriate for the police department to help us buy a barrel of gasoline..."
Ye Gengyi's voice just finished.
From the crowd at the back, a woman with shawl black hair and a pink dress, who looked about 30 years old, suddenly squeezed out, crying and shouting:
"Impossible! Haogui has obviously given up smoking for me who hates the smell of cigarettes!"
Then how about you go down and ask him why he still smokes behind your back?
Of course, although Ye Gengyi didn't have a good impression of this group of people because of the deceased, he couldn't say these words in his current status, so he just looked at them with a dead eye.
"Huh?"
Police Chief Gong looked at the woman who stood there covering her face and crying after she finished speaking, and asked in confusion: "Excuse me, who are you?"
When he was investigating the identity of the deceased, he had asked the surrounding guests about it. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to get married, another woman who sounded like she had a close relationship with the deceased appeared.
"...wuwuwu..."
The woman continued to cry and said nothing.
Police Chief Gong had a headache and could only turn his head to look at the others.
"She is Shuto Gouki's fiancée Ginmori Eina..."
A man with a monk's hair glanced around the other guests and explained: "As for them and I, we are all friends of Zhou Teng. We come to his villa for gatherings every weekend. Speaking of which... Tonight Zhou Teng It seems like he said he had something to announce..."
"It's marriage."
Yinmori Eina suddenly answered: "Haogui and I have already decided on a wedding date. We originally planned to announce it in front of everyone today, but...but, I didn't expect that such a thing would happen..."
"Oh, it turns out you are Ms. Ena Einmori."
Police Gongchang nodded, then looked at Ye Gengyi who cast an inquiring look at him, and introduced in a low voice: "That's it, Expert Ye... Before you came over, we found a black man next to the deceased. In the leather bag, in addition to a lighter and a box of unopened cigarettes, there is also a marriage application. Although the paper has basically been burned, you can still see their two names on it."
"Oh," Ye Gengyi nodded slightly, returned to the topic, and said, "So... police department, when do you think you are going to buy gasoline for us?"
Hey hey! Brother Geng Yi, is this how you helped the police solve the case... Conan, who was about to run to the forensic officer, almost slipped when he heard this.
Although all signs are now proving that Hideki Shuto died in an accident, but... where is your questioning spirit as an expert from the Technical Association? At least we should investigate clearly what happened to the two barrels of gasoline poured into the garage!
"Since it was a pure accident, then I will..."
"Haogui, wuwuwu...how could this happen..."
Yinmori Eina cried bitterly: "Why? I obviously just told you not to smoke... wuwuwu..."
"Just now?" Police Chief Gong noticed something suspicious.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Eunmori Eina stopped talking and began to cry.
"..."
Seeing this, Chief Gong of the Police Department twitched the corner of his mouth.
Ye Gengyi's expression was also a little unkind.
Conan's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "I'm sorry! When you said 'just now', did you mean when Mr. Shuto returned to the villa?"
"No, it's not...wuwuwu..." Einmori Eina continued to cry.
Conan: "@#￥%&*"
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻...You should hurry up and say it, or Brother Gengyi will take me away!
"It was an hour ago."
Next to her, a woman in her 30s who was also wearing a beautiful dress gently patted Ena Ena on the back and explained:
"Mr. Shuto called at that time, so Eina jokingly said on the phone, 'If you still refuse to quit smoking, you will cancel the engagement'..."
"Did that phone call really come from Mr. Shuto?" Police Gongchang asked.
"Well, it was him," the woman nodded, "Eina was chatting with someone else at the time, so I was the one who answered the call at first."
"That's right, then the fire must have been an accident."
Police Chief Gong shook his head and sighed.
If the last Mima Village incident was caused by someone else, today's tragedy can only be said to be the fault of the deceased who had no sense of safety.
"It doesn't have to be an accident!"
Conan was anxious. In order to avoid Geng Yi brother mentioning going down the mountain to buy gasoline again, he could only tell a not very strong doubt, "There was no unopened cigarette case at the scene! If he was getting off the car, If you smoke, you can definitely find them around!"
"Really not?"
Gongchang Police Department looked at the forensic officers who were collecting physical evidence.
"Yes, nothing was found in the car or in the garage," the forensic officer said.
"That's weird, how come there isn't one?" Police Chief Gong frowned and looked around.
"I think this may be a murder!"
Conan's face was serious, "The gasoline can in the garage was accidentally knocked over by someone. Assuming that even the cigarette butt was placed inside before Mr. Shuto arrived in the garage, maybe someone wanted it. A trap set to kill him!”
Ye Gengyi took over the topic and asked: "Police Department, have you found anything suspected to be an ignition device?"
"No." Police Chief Gongzhang said, looking at the forensic officer again for confirmation.
"But, what I just said may happen!" Conan said hurriedly: "Just in case, let's investigate further!"
"Right……"
Gongchang Police Department was convinced, "Since there are doubts, it is better to investigate clearly."
"Could it be the last cigarette?"
Hearing that the police would continue to investigate, Ena Eunmori changed her previous sad look and said: "Haogui used to like to randomly crush empty cigarette boxes into balls and then throw them away, so... maybe it was him. Did you throw the empty cigarette box out of the window on the way back?"
Install the latest version. 】
"Well... with his quality, it's quite possible." Ye Geng nodded in agreement.
Hey, hey, brother Gengyi, can you stop talking for now?
Conan sweated.
"Eh?"
After hearing Ginmori Eina's guess, the Yumaga police officer who was about to arrange for police officers to search for empty cigarette boxes near the villa looked over in confusion, "Expert Ye, do you know the deceased?"
Ye Gengyi said softly, "Hmm," "We met once, but we were unlucky today. It was right where our car broke down... Speaking of this, the police department, gasoline..."
"Ahhh!"
Conan interrupted the conversation with a strange scream, "Brother Genichi said it should be Mr. Shuto who lied without hesitation!"
"Lie?" Police Chief Gong was stunned.
"yes!"
Conan's brain was running rapidly, he grabbed the topic and explained:
"He clearly said he would take us to buy gasoline, but in the end he had a bad attitude and made us wait here forever. So I think Mr. Shuto is probably lying about quitting smoking..."
