Chapter 279 Strange Corpse
The corner of the street.
The white and green cleaning truck was parked on the side of the road, and a cleaning worker was leaning against the wall of the building next to him, too scared to make a sound.
In the next corner is a garbage disposal point.
After hearing the exclamation, all the members of the Young Detective Team rushed to the scene in the rain and immediately helped call the police. At the same time, Conan checked the condition of the body in the garbage truck and announced solemnly:
The people are gone.
After confirming that someone was dead, Hiroki showed an expression that said, "It's just as I expected." At the same time, he received the affirmation of Haibara Ai and the admiring eyes of the Three Treasures of the Emperor's Pill.
Faced with this situation, Conan felt that he had a heart attack - he found that when he and Hiroki were together, the limelight would occasionally go to Hiroki unknowingly.
Before the police arrived, when Conan was helping to protect the scene with an umbrella, he quietly pulled Hiroki aside:
"Hey, Hiroki, don't you have any special sensory abilities?"
"……ha?"
Hiroki didn't understand Big Brother Conan's words, and a question mark popped up on his forehead.
"That's it, for example, the ability to sense if there are any prisoners nearby, or the ability to sense malice..." Conan whispered, not forgetting to glance at Haibara Ai, "Because someone said that she could feel it before.
The existence of some specific groups of people.”
Haiyuan Ai, who was being watched, turned his head expressionlessly.
I'm sorry, she heard it all... Shen Shen Na Nao is really sorry.
Hiroki's eyes were complicated: "I don't have this ability..."
If anything, he suspected that Conan had some strange stance or something unclean - ever since he came into contact with the practice of 'qi', Hiroki was no longer a simple atheist.
He is now a seedling on the metaphysical side.
Conan blinked: "Then, why do you seem to be able to predict something happening in advance every time?"
It can't all be planned, right?
"...Conan."
"ah?"
"I think you can be more confident in yourself."
Sawada Hiroki's expression was extremely complicated.
Does Conan really have no idea about the cases around him?
Conan: "...?"
What does Hiroki mean? And the look on his face... Why does it feel weird?
Conan waited in confusion until Officer Megure arrived.
The other person who came with Officer Megure this time was not Takagi, but he was also someone Conan was familiar with - Matsuda Jinpei.
The moment he saw the other person, Conan felt something different in his heart. He touched the side of Memu Thirteen and tugged on his trousers:
"Hey, Officer Megure...Why are Officer Matsuda here?"
"Ah?" Officer Megure, who had just organized his subordinates to conduct an on-site investigation, lowered his head in confusion, not understanding what Conan meant. "Brother Matsuda... Although he is already a replacement for the police department, it is normal for him to go out with the police...
"
"...That's not what I meant."
Conan scratched his head in embarrassment, "I heard from Officer Sato and others before that Officer Matsuda doesn't seem to show up except for bombings..."
"Yeah, so I didn't want to come originally."
The slightly lazy voice made Conan move.
Then Conan turned to look at the person walking slowly over, with an innocent look on his face, "Ah, Officer Matsuda..."
He somehow felt like he was being caught for speaking ill of people.
Matsuda Jinpei came over from the cleaning truck holding an umbrella.
This time he was not wearing sunglasses, nor was he holding a candy or a cigarette. "I originally didn't want to deal with this case... but who made it so close to the location of a case the night before yesterday."
"The case from last night?"
Conan's curiosity was aroused.
He had encountered a case the day before yesterday, and Officer Memu came to solve it at that time, but the police have not yet found the address of that very vicious man.
Yesterday he stayed in the detective agency and didn't go there. He seemed to be in peace.
"Or in the early morning of yesterday, there was an explosion just two blocks away from here in Aipido-cho 1-chome."
Matsuda Jinpei unbuttoned the collar, probably because he felt a little stuffy.
This news made Conan a little concerned, "So, are there any casualties?"
Matsuda Jinpei looked down at Conan, his eyes flashed, "Ah... yes, there was a scorched corpse in the center of the explosion, and there was also a passerby who happened to be stabbed by the glass fragments splashed out by the explosion and lost blood.
Too many deaths.”
Conan's eyes narrowed.
Explosion, scorched corpses...
Could it be those people?
"I remember, Brother Matsuda, you said at that time..." Officer Megure also intervened at this time, with a slightly solemn expression.
"The traces of the explosion are very similar to the explosion that occurred in the previous company... and there were obvious cuts on the neck of the charred corpse. Judging from the state of death, he probably did not die from the explosion." Matsuda Jinpei looked at the cleaning truck, "
Because there were no witnesses or suspects in that case, so when I heard there was a case nearby, I came over to see if there were any clues... But with such heavy rain, even if there were any clues, they would have been washed away."
The body had been taken out of the cleaning truck, covered with a white towel, and was ready to be taken away - it seemed that the preliminary autopsy was almost done.
However, Conan's attention was completely focused on the case mentioned by Matsuda Jinpei without even turning his eyes.
Explosions, people killed, traces of destruction...
No matter how you look at it, it’s all those guys’ style!
Also, which company?
"Officer Matsuda, is the previous company you mentioned the building of Joban Company?"
"No... it was a company called Qinggang Pharmaceutical earlier." When Matsuda Jinpei answered, he silently lowered his eyes.
When Ke heard this, his pupils shrank instantly.
It was indeed those people! People from that organization!
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but he didn't notice Matsuda Jinpei's slightly strange expression.
At this time, the police officer who had completed the forensics came over and reported:
"Officer Megure, Officer Matsuda, we found several suspicious points..."
Matsuda Jinpei narrowed his eyes: "Tell me about it."
Conan also narrowed his eyes - even the police could find something suspicious this time?
Something fishy!
"Yes! From what we have examined so far, there are no obvious external injuries on the body. However, Yoshikawa lines and strangulation marks were found on his neck. We can judge that it was a homicide..."
"Furthermore, judging from the rigor mortis and body spots on the body, the time of death of the deceased should be close to 20 to 24 hours, but not more than a day."
"In addition, the cleaning man who first discovered the deceased said that when he checked the car at the last garbage dumping point, he did not find the deceased..."
After the coroner finished speaking, the forensic personnel next to him explained that no trace related to the deceased was found on the cleaning vehicle or nearby.
Obviously, the cleaning truck was not the first scene - the victim should have been killed somewhere, and then the prisoner used some means to send him to the cleaning truck that regularly cleans the garbage.
