Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 368 Dragon Scroll, Taige Treasure

On the roof of the castle tower, after Gao Cheng borrowed a Polaroid camera, he carefully climbed to the place where the dead man was on fire.

There were many small fragments left at the scene, and a square lighter with a closed lid was well placed on the ridge next to it.

Gao Cheng took a picture of the scene, picked up the lighter with a handkerchief, and found that there was only a fan-shaped area below that was not wet by the rain, so he took several pictures one after another in doubt.

"Kiroto!" Hattori shouted upstairs, "Why are you so slow, did you find anything?"

"If you think it's slow, do it yourself!" Gao Cheng muttered angrily.

"I have this idea..." Hattori grabbed a rope, "I borrowed the rope from the staff, and just hang Conan down."

Conan raised his face against the guardrail: "Do you think I'm a circus monkey?"

Hattori grinned and said, "What does it matter, anyway, you are light..."

Gao Cheng ignored the two of them, packed the lighter in a bag, and looked around the ridge of the roof.

The explosion at the time of the incident was definitely not a simple fire, but there were no other traces on the roof...

Under the attic of the castle tower, it was still Police Officer Otaki who took over the case. In addition to the crowd of onlookers, the members of the tour group were also called over, standing silently next to the corpse with an umbrella to accept interrogation.

The long-faced young man named Toshiaki Fukushima, 32 years old, plays Mitsuhide Akechi.

The old man's name is Yuhiro Ushiya, 64 years old, who plays Ieyasu Tokugawa.

The honest young man who has been squinting is Shigehiko Wakisaka, 35 years old, who plays Oda Nobunaga.

The girl with glasses is Katagiri Maho, 39 years old, who plays the role of Ning Ning.

As for the deceased, it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's actor Kato Si...

I don't know what the uncle said, but everyone at the scene seemed to agree that the deceased committed suicide by setting fire to himself, and discussed the motive of suicide.

"We are not roundworms in his stomach. How could we know what he was thinking? Maybe he had decided to commit suicide in this place that has a deep relationship with Taige..."

"It shouldn't be suicide!"

Gao Cheng and Hattori and Conan squeezed into the crowd,

Hand over the lighter and the forensic photos to the forensic personnel.

"Although there is a lighter that can be used to start a fire, this lighter is placed on the ridge of the roof, and even the lid is covered. Will a person who is about to commit suicide close the lid in a leisurely manner after the fire?"

"Under the place where the lighter is placed, there is another place that has not been exposed to rain. It is not a square shape of the lighter, but a fan shape..."

"Fan shape?" Uncle Maori didn't know why.

"Before it rained, some kind of round thing was placed on the roof," Hattori explained. "After it rained, I removed that thing, and then put a lighter on it..."

Officer Otaki asked Hattori in doubt, "But Heiji, what do you think is that round thing?"

"I don't know about this yet. I think it has something to do with the small debris that fell next to it..." Hattori rubbed his chin in thought.

Gao Cheng did not stay at the scene for a long time, and after handing over the evidence to the police, he began to check around the scene alone with an umbrella.

He did hear the explosion when the crime happened. If there are not many clues on the roof, he can only look below.

If the cause of the fire can be investigated...

"what?"

Walking around the castle tower with a flashlight, Gao Cheng bent down and carefully picked up a dry battery on the grass with a handkerchief.

It doesn't look very eye-catching, but there are still scorched marks on the dry battery, and it was obviously dropped from a high place, and it should have been after rain.

Gao Cheng looked up and found that it was not too far from the roof where the incident happened.

"Shua Shua!"

The rain in Osaka still showed no signs of stopping, but the crowd of onlookers under the castle tower did not decrease, but instead increased. Members of the Kendo Club of Izumishin High School in Kyoto, who happened to be having dinner at the restaurant, were also attracted by the riots.

"Did something happen over there?"

"I don't know, it seems that someone committed suicide... Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Forget it, I've been playing in Osaka all day today, I'm exhausted, I have to go back tomorrow!"

"That's..." Mr. Okita walked at the end, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Gao Cheng, "Why don't we go and have a look?"

The classmate was surprised: "Okita, when did you become interested in this kind of thing?"

Among the crowd of onlookers, the police officers covered the charred corpse with a cloth and carried away, leaving only a few items found on the corpse.

Cell phones, watches, wallets, keys, cigarettes, a shard of pottery and a mutilated scroll were all badly burned.

"This fragment," He Ye interjected, "is it related to the charred corpse case before? A fragment was found..."

"The burnt corpse case?" Hattori was taken aback.

"Yeah, my dad and your dad mentioned it in the car yesterday. They said that the charred corpses found in the moat in the city thirteen years ago, and the charred corpses found in the moat on the east side a while ago, seemed to be the same. There are pieces like this..."

He Ye seriously helped: "And they also said that the most recent fragment has the words 'eight hundred and forty-eight' written on it, which seems to be part of a treasure!"

"treasure?"

"I didn't lie to you, because they still deliberately whispered, talking about the treasure left by the general..."

"Hey, Hattori!" Conan picked up the fragment and called to the suspicious Hattori, "This fragment seems to have something shiny on it."

Gao Cheng thought about returning to the scene, and before he could squeeze into the middle, he found that the members of the tour group standing on the side all had strange expressions, staring closely at the incomplete scroll held in the hands of Police Officer Otaki.

Except for the word "Dragon" written in the upper right corner, the scroll is blank, and it doesn't look like it was burned.

"I see!"

Hattori suddenly grabbed the scroll, ignored Otaki's exclamation, and put it directly into the rain. As the raindrops soaked the scroll, writing gradually appeared in the blank space, and there was also a gourd-shaped figure.

"it is as expected……"

Hattori couldn't help laughing excitedly: "It seems that the legend of the night raid is true. The treasure known to the world as the King of Gold, Hideyoshi, may still be sleeping somewhere, somewhere in this Osaka Castle."

"Treasure?"

The members of the tour group had different expressions, either excited, silent, or showing weird smiles.

The old man looked around, walked carefully to the side and made a phone call: "Hey, it's me... don't act rashly for now, I think the police will not leave in a short time... don't worry, our target is already here It's in front of you, just get ready..."

Gao Cheng's ears moved slightly.

These guys are indeed very problematic, but there is no way to judge who the murderer is.

If the reason is because of the treasure, anyone may have a dispute with the dead.

And that dry battery that fell nearby, it looks like a flashlight battery...
