The detective's intuition makes Hattori Heiji particularly keen on abnormal things.
But unfortunately, he overlooked one detail after all.
The corners of Tosakura Minoru's mouth were slightly raised, and the smile on his face seemed to be a little teasing, and he said:
"It was the two girls who were with you who came here to tell us, but we have been waiting here honestly and didn't dare to leave even half a step..."
"Eh? The two of them..." Hattori Heiji was stunned.
"I said I came to Xiaoguang to borrow the key to the freezer."
Tonkura Kishiji explained: "It seems that the dumplings were a little too packed, so I wanted to put them inside."
freezer! ? The locked one in the kitchen!
Some casual words made a flash of light flash through the brains of Hattori Heiji and Conan like lightning.
They all stared at Hanekawa Johei.
When the latter's whole body was tense and he was about to sweat from nervousness, he turned around and ran towards the kitchen without saying a word.
Ye Gengyi's face darkened.
He thought about the beef he had had for dinner.
Don't tell me... you put the 'body' in the freezer...
Although the drug testing process is routine.
But the nanobot had no way of detecting whether the beef was placed in the same container as Torakura Sakiya's headless body before cooking.
I hope I'm overthinking it...
Ye Gengyi's eyes showed no emotion as he quickly left the restaurant and caught up with the two detective boys.
This way.
Hattori Heiji and Conan's suspicions were different from Ye Genichi's.
They still don't know about the separation of Tokura Yuya's "boss", and they still suspect that the person who committed the murder is the maid Xiaoguang.
The body locked in the refrigerator was Hanekawa Jōhei's 'treasure' who had been missing for several hours - Torakura Mamoyu.
Xiao Guang, who holds the key, naturally cannot refuse to open the freezer in front of everyone, so she can only hand over the key at that time. In this way, Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Yuan Shan, who are holding the key and are about to open the freezer door. Ye is in danger...
"ah!"
A piercing scream echoed through the corridor.
Hattori Heiji and Conan rolled up their sleeves and touched the props on their waists. They rushed into the kitchen almost at the same time. However... they only saw Xiaoguang eating dumplings one by one.
Eh? ? ?
What's happening here……
"Because I was so hungry that I couldn't hold it back for a while... I'm really sorry..."
Xiaoguang put down his chopsticks and bowed sideways to let go of the eight empty plates on the table behind him:
"I've eaten all these dumplings!"
ha?
Hattori Heiji and Conan Doudouyan... ate 8 plates by themselves?
How hungry are you?
"What did you call just now?" Ye Gengyi looked at Mao Lilan and Yuan Shan and Ye.
Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanheye said with embarrassed expressions: "Yes, it's because Miss Xiaoguang rushed in suddenly... We were startled..."
"Sorry, I'm too hungry," Xiaoguang smiled sheepishly: "But... the dumplings you made are really delicious."
"..."
Ye Geng glanced at the key inserted in the freezer door, "Have you looked inside?"
"Um"
Mao Lilan nodded.
Toyama and Ye walked over and opened the door: "There is a very big box inside, which should be used to hold seaweed."
Ashes?
Ye Gengyi's thoughts still stayed on Tokura Sakuya's 'body'. This thought came up subconsciously, but he quickly suppressed it.
wrong……
It takes at least one and a half to two hours to throw the body into the furnace and burn it.
During this process, the temperature in the furnace should be controlled between 800 and 1,000 degrees Celsius.
Fully automatic equipment is okay, but if it is semi-automatic, you may need to use a crusher and other equipment to grind the remaining bones into powder, which is not something ordinary people can do.
He came to the freezer, glanced at the plate of undercooked dumplings wrapped in plastic wrap, and reached out to take out the can of seaweed on the side.
Twist the lid open.
The stuff inside was indeed seaweed.
"Isn't it weird?"
Mao Lilan said: "It is such a big freezer, but it is surprisingly empty."
"Is the upper floor of the freezer also empty?" Hattori Heiji couldn't squeeze in, so he could only stand a little further away and asked.
"No...it seems to be full of ingredients here." Mao Lilan opened the door, "There's no lock on it."
"When did you two leave the kitchen?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Well……"
Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye thought for a while, and each said:
"Go to the warehouse to get garlic..."
"And I just left when I went to the restaurant to find Miss Xiaoguang to get the key."
The time didn't match up... Hattori Heiji and Conan immediately began to recall the details based on the clues.
We quickly came to the conclusion that even if Tokura Mamoru was killed, his body would not be placed in the freezer.
Ye Gengyi is not as "optimistic" as the two detective boys.
Before Tokura Sakuya's 'body' was found, he could not confirm whether it had been placed in the freezer.
"Who has the key to the freezer in the villa?" Ye Gengyi looked at the maid.
"Besides me, I should also have one." Xiaoguang said.
Hanekawa Johei...you kid is really at the end of his life, and...
Ye Geng said 'hmm' expressionlessly, his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts reflected the figure of the maid in front of him.
Common sense infers that the other party should not be involved in this matter.
But if it is a high-intelligence crime that deliberately exploits this kind of habitual thinking, Xiaoguang only needs to deliberately let certain successors 'accidentally' see Tokura Sakuya's email, and then he can use it without any evidence. Greed's revenge.
certainly……
This completely non-interventional killing method also requires a certain amount of luck.
An example is the incident in a department store where I watched 'Bourbon' get his head shot.
Because in that kind of situation where there are "eyes" in all directions, and the opponent is the organization and the FBI, no matter what identity you use, as long as you participate, it will definitely attract the attention of all parties to Mihua Town.
The same is true for this maid named Xiaoguang.
Of course, as long as she didn't put objects related to 'human corpses' in the food, she wouldn't care about what kind of 'revenge' the other party wanted to take.
Being stared at like this, Xiaoguang's cheeks turned red, and she quickly raised her hand to wipe the soy sauce from the corner of her mouth.
At this time, a moment of coldness crept into her heart. She trembled and blinked in confusion. In front of her, Ye Gengyi had already retracted his gaze from her and moved to move away from the position in front of the refrigerator. .
Hey hey, Saradachi-chan, you asked... Hattori Heiji's expression changed from expectation to disappointment.
He was obviously very active when he was investigating the secret passage and when he first came to the kitchen, but why did he suddenly walk away again?
He cursed in his heart and had no choice but to follow the previous question and continue:
"Miss Xiaoguang, are you keeping all the keys in this villa?"
