Chapter 77: What has been done will be done again (Part 2)
Not only Hattori Heiji and Conan, but everyone standing behind the window also saw the sudden red light and understood what happened.
Karasuma Shurya, who was standing by the window, stretched out his hand, and the lotus flew back from the cliff and landed on his wrist. Karasuma Shurya looked at the lotus steadily, as if communicating something with the lotus, and then put the lotus down.
Back on your own shoulders.
Ken Toju, Ayako Ogi, and Ran Mao also chased out, and Heiji Hattori exchanged their experiences with Conan.
Karasuma Shuryo didn't want to get close to the cliff. He looked back at Hitomi Iwai: "Let's call out everyone else who returned to the room."
Iwai Hitomi nodded with a pale face, and Karashitomi followed Karasuma Shuryo.
The people who left the restaurant and returned to the room were Toshiaki Fujisawa, Maria Toda, Nanako Shimizu and Soichi Nishimura. They knocked on their doors respectively and heard a clear response before telling them: "Something happened to Mr. Kanaya."
, please come to the restaurant."
Because they came back to sleep after leaving the restaurant, and it would take time to get up and change clothes. Karasuma Shuryo asked Hitomi Iwai and Hitomi Karasuma to go back to the restaurant and wait while he walked out of the hotel.
Outside the hotel, Karasuma Shuryo met Conan and Hattori Heiji in front of the garage door. It was obvious that everyone thought of going together: Kanaya Yuichi's car clearly drove straight out of the garage, so he naturally wanted to investigate the garage.
Karasuma Shuryo sniffed, and before he even walked to the garage, he smelled a strong smell of gasoline.
Lianzi barked softly, as if to remind him of the danger ahead.
The garage door was dark and wide open.
"The door was open when we came." Seeing someone coming behind him, Hattori Heiji simply said.
The garage was empty except for a box of maintenance tools thrown in the corner, but the tool box was open.
Karasuma Shuryo sniffed again: "The smell of gasoline...is it coming from next door?"
There are two garages because there are two cars: the car in which Iwai Hitomi carried Karasuma Shuryo and others, and the car in which Kanaya Yuichi carried Hattori Heiji and others. They had just been buried on a cliff together with Kanaya Yuichi.
They walked to another garage and opened the door.
Hattori Heiji and Conan walked in, and Karasuma Shuryo stood outside the door.
"The car was damaged, right?" Karasuma Shuryo guessed.
Hattori Heiji nodded: "The fuel tank was violently smashed, gasoline leaked all over the floor, and the battery was also taken out and smashed."
"Also," Hattori Heiji said again: "Can you come in quickly and don't stand at the door to block the light?"
Gasoline is very volatile, and they cannot turn on lights or use flashlights to avoid deflagration, so the dark garage can only be illuminated by the moonlight coming in from outside the door.
"Why can't I see Hattori-chan?" Karasuma Shuryo said casually. Seeing that both Hattori Heiji and Conan understood why they couldn't turn on the lights, they walked in with confidence.
There was gasoline flowing on the ground, and Karasuma Shuryo, who was suffering from mysophobia, refused to step on it. He just stood where there was no gasoline and looked at the whole situation in the garage.
In front of me was the familiar car. With the fuel tank ruptured and the battery damaged, it was obviously no longer usable.
Against the wall were some car repair tools and a barrel of spare gasoline, but someone poked a small hole in the barrel the size of a screwdriver, which is why so much gasoline leaked on the ground.
Gasoline flowed all over the floor, batteries were violently smashed, and debris was scattered everywhere.
"This time it's not as simple as puncturing the tire." Karasuma Shuryo sighed, and his tone was a little thankful: "Fortunately, I didn't rent a car this time and came on my own."
When he learned that tour groups were picked up and dropped off in groups by car, Karasuma Shuryo, who couldn't trust others to drive, thought about renting a car and driving there himself.
However, Karasuma Shuryo gave up the idea because he was worried that the car's tire puncture at the last Yosui birthday party would happen again.
It was indeed the right choice.
When Conan heard Karasuma Shuyō talking about the tire puncture, he also thought about the Yotsui family's birthday party and Karasuma Shuyō's words, 'What has happened must be done again.'
Conan didn't know that that sentence came from the Bible, but now that he recalled Karasuma Shuryo's words, he felt a little uneasy.
But Conan also clearly remembers that Karasuma Shurya would say those words at that time. The reason was that Shimizu Nanako first said what Sherlock Holmes said: 'The wheels of the old era are spinning, and the same spokes will turn back.
Everything that has happened in the past will still happen in the future. In this case, we cannot judge Karasuma Shuryo to have predicted it based on this sentence.
What's more, he invited Karasuma Shuryo to this tour group, and he didn't even know about the tour group beforehand.
Wait... Conan frowned. Thinking about it this way, it's strange that Karasuma Shuryo is a huge Sherlock Holmes fan no less than Kanaya Yuichi, and he doesn't know about the existence of tour group activities.
Could it be that I was tricked by Mr. Karasuma? But how did Mr. Karasuma know that I was selected?
Conan became more and more confused as he thought about it, until Karasuma Shuryo's actions interrupted his thinking.
Karasuma Shuryo put on a pair of gloves and picked up a fragment of a car battery soaked in gasoline from the ground, and then clicked his tongue.
"Uncle Karasuma, have you discovered anything?" Conan asked immediately.
"It's nothing, I just feel that the murderer - at least the person who destroyed the car, is very lucky." Karasuma Shuryo said.
"Luck?" Hattori Heiji asked strangely.
Karasuma Shuryo handed the fragment in his hand to Hattori Heiji to see that it was the corner of the plastic casing of the battery.
Then Hattori Heiji could barely see a dirty bottom covered with gasoline.
After all, it was Hattori from Kansai, and he quickly understood what he meant: "The murderer destroyed the fuel tank first, and then smashed the battery, so the whole fragment fell on the gasoline."
The floor of the garage is very flat. If the debris falls on the ground first, and then the leaked gasoline flows around the debris, it will only touch the edges of the debris, but there will be no gasoline in the center of the bottom surface.
"Yeah, so I said his luck and courage are really great." Karasuma Shuryo said: "Smashing the battery can easily lead to a short circuit and sparks. If you don't do it right, you will be playing with fire and burning yourself."
"That's right." Hattori Heiji nodded, and then looked at Karasuma Shuryo curiously: "Could it be that... you are also a detective?"
Karasuma Shuryo originally wanted to deny it. He never thought of himself as a 'bartending detective'. The reason why he came to investigate the garage like a detective now was because he wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible for his own safety.
But thinking about increasing his reputation and promoting the great cause of the bar, Karasuma Shuryo remained silent and acquiesced to Hattori Heiji's words.
But Conan's eyes lit up and he became a source of light in the dark garage. He was worried that Hattori Heiji was closely tracking the whereabouts of his identity as Kudo Shinichi. Now he had a good idea.
"Uncle Karasuma is a very famous bartending detective! I think he is even better than brother Shinichi!" Conan loudly said to Hattori Heiji: "If brother Heiji can beat Uncle Karasuma, he will definitely beat brother Shinichi.
Already."
In order for Karasuma Shuryo to attract Hattori Heiji's attention, Conan even said that he was not as good as Karasuma Shuryo, and at the last birthday party at the Yotsui family, he did lose miserably to Karasuma Shuryo in reasoning.
.
However, what disappointed Conan was that Hattori Heiji was very honest: "Super famous? But I have never heard of it. And he is not the same age as me, so I still want to compete with Kudo Shinichi who is the same age."
Karasuma Shuryo didn't want to be the fifth person involved in other people's four-corner relationships. After looking around the garage, he said: "There is nothing to see here, let's go back."
