Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Chapter 604: The rookie police officer who lives up to expectations



Hattori Heiji and Conan hurried to the room where Harawaki Takashi died and began to investigate the wardrobe.

Because the wardrobe cannot catch fire for no reason, it must be the murderer. Therefore, there must be something fishy about this wardrobe, so the murderer is allowed to set fire to it and destroy it.

"Tsk, luckily the fire was put out in time, otherwise it would all have turned into a pile of charcoal. However, the drawer cabinet under the wardrobe is still charred."

Hattori Heiji looked at the pitch-black wardrobe in front of him and had a headache.

Conan also has a headache now, and the drawer cabinet has become charred. If you are not careful, the charred part may break.

"There is no other way. Let's start the investigation. We must be careful."

The two conducted a detailed inspection.

Hattori Heiji frowned and said: "There is only a burned coat of Mr. Harawaki's in the closet, and there is no mechanism like a secret door behind the closet."

Conan added: "The entire room has been checked. There is nothing wrong with the other party. There is nothing abnormal under the bed. I even checked the mattress."

Hattori Heiji asked awkwardly: "What is it for? Why did the murderer burn this closet? There must be some reason."

Conan looked at a place in the closet: "No, Hattori, there is another place we didn't check."

Hattori Heiji looked at the drawer cabinet under the wardrobe according to Conan's gaze: "A drawer cabinet? But the drawer cabinet has been completely charred. If you open it rashly, it will break. You can only wait for the police to come and ask their professionals to do it." I investigated, but I also feel that there may be something wrong with the drawer cabinet.”

Ria Kawabata, who had been watching Hattori Heiji and Conan's investigation with fear, suddenly felt that Kamiya Minazuki was her savior.

These two high school detectives are so tough to deal with.

Fortunately, she started the fire in the drawer cabinet and now it is reduced to charcoal.

However, the mechanism inside should be discovered sooner or later.

But she didn't want to cover up the mechanism inside, but to erase the bloody words left by Nei Dong Chengji eight years ago.

Ria Kawabata turned her head slightly and glanced at Tanizuki.

He was really calm as hell.

Kamiya Minazuki was playing with her mobile phone, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at Tetsuto Uchito, Orie Beishō, Masahachi Ninomiya and Ria Kawabata: "Can you tell us what happened eight years ago in detail?"

Baisho Orie said nervously: "At that time, Ria and Ninomiya were guarding the window and went outside the house, so they may not know that eight years ago, Harawaki, Kyoko, and I were also in this room. I’ve searched them all.”

Conan said in surprise: "Then this room really is?"

Baisho Orie replied: "Yes, that's right. Four days after the president disappeared, we found him sitting and starving to death in this room."

Conan and Hattori Heiji stared at each other at the same time.

The two of them had previously speculated that the death of Nai Dong Chengji eight years ago was related to the wardrobe in this room.

Sure enough, Naito Chengji died in this room.

Hattori Heiji asked: "Who was the first person to find the body at that time?"

Baisho Orie said: "It's Kyoko and Riya. At that time, the two of them said they would go to the second floor to look for each other. But after a while, Riya's screams were heard. After we rushed over, we only saw Kyoko and her. Standing blankly behind Ria, whose legs were weak with fear."

Seeing Baisho Orie call her name, Ria Kawabata crossed her arms and said, "Of course my legs will be weak. The person who disappeared actually appeared in front of me in a state of starvation."

Ninomiya Masahachi interrupted: "Speaking of disappearing, it seems that a cart also disappeared at that time."

Conan asked doubtfully: "Push cart?"

Baisho Orie nodded and said, "Yes, a small cart used to carry equipment, about 60 centimeters by 30 centimeters, is missing."

Naito Tetsuto said at this time: "Let's talk about it, my brother borrowed a lot of things from me and said he wanted to make a movie, but only that one was not returned."

Kawabata continued: "At that time, some people suspected that it was the cart that carried the president back to the room, but the cart disappeared before the president disappeared without a trace."

Conan and Hattori Heiji were brainstorming in their minds.

Eight years ago, someone suddenly disappeared. As the president, Nai Dong Chengji disappeared for four days, and finally suddenly appeared in this room, starving to death.

And now, Harawaki Takashi also died in this room, and the murderer wanted to burn the closet.

Conan and Hattori Heiji once again looked at the wardrobe in the room.

There is indeed something wrong with this room, and the key is this wardrobe!

At this time Mao Lilan came to the room.

Mao Lilan looked very bad and said stutteringly: "That, that, that, those zombies said that they have brought the criminal police of Qunma."

Hattori Heiji frowned: "You mean the detective of Gunma County? If you say that..."

Conan already had a despairing expression at this time: "No way..."

Isn't the Gunma Prefecture police officer the rookie police officer who only causes trouble?

Minato Kamiya was so happy that he had a new teammate. It seemed that he was extremely relaxed this time.

Minazuki Kamiya didn't care about Kawabata Riya's mission. What he cared about was that he wanted to see Hattori Heiji and Conan defeated.

The entrance of the villa.

Police officer Yamamura led his people and shouted inside: "Everyone who is suffering from zombies, I have kept you waiting for a long time!"

Police Officer Yamamura opened the door of the villa with high spirits: "Now that I, the monster hunter Yamamura, have arrived, I have nothing to worry about...ah!"

Police officer Yamacun saw that it was full of vicious zombies, and his whole face turned green with fear.

"A room full of zombies!"

Police officer Yamamura took out a bracelet and muttered: "The evil spirit is gone! The evil spirit is gone! The evil spirit is gone!"

Hattori Heiji, who came to pick someone up on the first floor, said impatiently: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Conan pointed to the stairs: "The body is on the second floor."

Following the guidance of Hattori Heiji and Conan, Officer Yamamura first came to the room where Ejiri Kyoko's body was located.

From the mouths of Hattori Heiji and Conan, Officer Yamamura learned the ins and outs of the matter.

Police officer Yamamura said in horror: "Could it be that Mr. Harawaki turned into a zombie, then attacked Miss Kyoko and burned Miss Kyoko to death?! It's scary, so scary!"

Hattori Heiji said: "Please, Mr. Harawaki's body is in the next room. Moreover, Miss Kyoko was hit in the head with a wooden stick by someone in a sneak attack. After she was knocked unconscious, she was tortured and had ten pieces broken." The fingers were burned to death in the end!”

Conan sighed. Officer Yamamura's response, in a way, lived up to expectations.
