Chapter 944: What drives people to act is interest
People around were attracted by the screams of Yuan Shanhe Ye and Mao Lilan.
"What happened?" Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan always rushed to the front.
Behind them were Kogoro Mori and police personnel who hurriedly followed.
"Someone fell into the river..." Toyama Kazuye and Mao Lilan pointed to the river channel under the bridge.
Hattori Heiji stood by the bridge and looked down.
Police personnel immediately went to rescue the person who fell into the water.
By the time the man was fished out, he had already expired.
"The deceased Katagiri Maho was also a member of Taiko Hideyoshi's eight-day tour group. The cause of death was a heavy blow to the back of the head. He probably fell into the water and hit a stone pier under the bridge, which led to his death..." Dalong
The police officer squatted in front of the body and analyzed it.
"Did you see anyone else around her at that time?" Hattori Heiji came to Toyama and Ye and asked.
"I did see a figure, but..." Mao Lilan recalled.
"It's unmistakable! He must have started the fire!" Hattori Heiji said excitedly.
"But it's impossible. That person was far away from the deceased. On the bridge we walked on..." Yuan Shan and Ye retorted.
"And we have all seen that she lit the fire herself, and she set herself on fire..." Yuan Shan and Ye said seriously.
"Are you kidding me? It would only be a ghost if he set himself on fire!" Hattori Heiji yelled.
The next moment, he rushed to the corpse, squatted down and pulled the corpse's clothes.
"I will definitely search for evidence." He vowed.
The next second, he was lifted up by the shoulders by a man in a suit, and then punched and flew away.
"Wow, it looks so painful." Tsushima Shuji lay on Midorikawa Mu's back and gloated.
"Calm down..." Toru Amuro silently used an umbrella to block Tsushima Shuji's gloating.
Hattori Heiji was punched and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
There was also a mark of a fist on his face.
The rain was still falling, making him look like a drowned dog, and he looked quite pitiful.
"This is not a place for you to mess around." The man who punched Hattori Heiji stood in the rain, looking calm.
"Dad..." Hattori Heiji's pupils were shaking.
"Do you know how much trouble it will cause to the police if you destroy the scene?" Hattori Heizo criticized his own son.
"Director... Heiji also wants to find out the truth as soon as possible..." Mouri Kogoro spoke weakly from the side.
Hattori Heizo gave Mouri Kogoro a look, and Mouri Kogoro immediately stopped speaking.
"If it was you, Mr. Mori, who did this, I would have nothing to say, but this kid is just fooling around..." Hattori Heizo first praised Kogoro Mori, and then began to belittle Hattori Heiji.
"There is no need for anyone to get in the way here." He said to Hattori Heiji, his appearance was actually a bit ruthless.
Hattori Heiji was stunned by what he said.
"The police don't need to waste so much manpower on such a small case. Leave two people and the others go back." Hattori Heizo ordered and left the scene.
Shuji Tsushima glanced at the other party, with a smile on his lips.
Alas~ It turns out that he is a parent, he can see further than Hattori Heiji, and he understands the layout better.
"Although you are a bit reckless, there is no need to slap you in the face directly..." Mouri Kogoro complained.
I completely forgot about the fact that I always punched Edogawa Conan on the head.
"Maybe she cares about Heiji..." Officer Dalong whispered.
"It's really hard for him. He cared about me in this way, which moved me to tears." Hattori Heiji wiped his face and stood up from the ground.
"Just wait and see, I will definitely find the murderer! Hahahahahahahahahaha -" he vowed, his laughter gradually becoming more and more wild.
"Uncle Hattori is in a bad mood today. It may be related to the case that happened thirteen years ago..." Toyama and Ye looked at Hattori Heiji and spoke.
"That robbery and murder case..." she said slowly.
"Robbery and murder?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Officer Dalong next to him in confusion.
"Those were five consecutive robbery and murder cases that year, and a total of seven people died..." Officer Dalong explained.
Several people gathered together to exchange information.
Toru Amuro and Nori Midorikawa stood outside the crowd.
"Do you know who the murderer is?" Toru Amuro asked in a low voice.
"It's not clear yet, but the two cases that happened today are definitely related to the previous robberies, and..." Midorikawa Mu's voice was gentle and calm.
"Everyone did witness the scene where the deceased lit himself on fire with a lighter. Why did they do that?" Toru Amuro continued.
"And why does the fire burn so fast? If the deceased really wanted to commit suicide, then why did he scream? And let himself fall into the river? If he fell into the river, he would not be able to die if the fire on his body was extinguished, so
Either the deceased doesn't want to die, or..." Midorikawa Mu continued.
"Either it is that the person who fell into the river in front of everyone was not the deceased himself, but the real murderer. The murderer fell into the river to leave the crime scene through the waterway." Toru Amuro added.
"And if the castle tower had also set itself on fire, it wouldn't have exploded..." Midorikawa Mu smiled and continued.
"But it is impossible for the murderer to roll down from above on his own, so the one who rolled down must be the deceased himself. Then the question arises, why did the deceased climb up the castle tower by himself? And what caused the explosion?" Toruya Amuro continued to cooperate.
He said.
"As for these two questions, I still don't know." Midorikawa said helplessly.
They currently have too few clues and can only guess this much.
"What drives them to act is nothing but the lure of profit." Shuji Tsushima, who was lying on Midorikawa Mu's back, also joined in their reasoning.
"Didn't the treasure map with a scroll with Ryuko written on it be found on the body of the deceased who fell from the castle tower? If it is related to the Dragon Tiger Gate, there must be a corresponding tiger scroll, right? These people all dream of getting the treasure...
…”
"If someone told them that the tiger scroll was hidden on the roof of the castle tower, how many people do you think would immediately choose to climb on the roof?" Shuji Tsushima said casually and with a hint of joking.
"Everything." Toru Amuro and Midorikawa said in unison.
There is no doubt that once they learn that the clues related to the treasure are on the roof, the group of people driven by greed will choose to climb on the roof.
They will even kill other people who climbed onto the roof with them.
"So the deceased chose to climb onto the roof. But if you climb on the roof to look for things at night, you always need something for lighting, right? On rainy days, using a lighter will not work. If there happens to be a lighting item on the roof, such as... a flashlight
Can the deceased use it?" Shuji Tsushima continued to ask.
"Yes." Toru Amuro and Midorikawa nodded.
People who are blinded by greed will never think about why a flashlight is placed on the roof, and will just pick it up and use it eagerly.
"What if the flashlight is not just a flashlight, but a bomb? The moment you turn it on..." Shuji Tsushima rolled his eyes and laughed.
"Bang, there was an explosion, and the greedy man rolled down from the roof and died on the spot." He simulated the sound of an explosion and said lightly.
