Police Department Megami recounted the incident of the bandits killing each other. Finally, he mentioned that Kabana wanted to take Haihara as a hostage when the police were hunting him down, but Mochizuki stopped him.
Conan felt very strange after listening to it.
The bandit leader, Kabana, actually lived next door to Moongazer Serpent? They knew each other?
In that case, my last speculation was probably correct-Mochizuki didn't really have a stomachache, but pretended to have a stomachache to buy time for the bandits to die in the building. The Moongazer Serpent already knew that it would explode.
Who was this guy?
Conan looked at Moon with even more vigilance.
"Conan, when did you guys get targeted by robbers when you went out to look for treasure?" Xiaolan questioned Conan angrily. Why didn't I know?"
"Ah!" Conan panicked." Yes, it was when I went to Dr. Ali's house…"
"Did the doctor bring you there? Really! What is he doing?"
" No, it's not that... It's Genta who picked up the treasure map..." Conan pushed all the blame to his teammates.
Police Department Mu Mu also asked Mochizuki about the case in the art gallery, and Mochizuki told him the truth. After listening to the explanation, Megure instructed the forensics personnel," Take off the helmet of the armor and take a look.”
Up until now, no one even knew who the person in the armor was. The most important thing now was to confirm his identity.
The forensics personnel accepted the order and took off the helmet. A face that was beyond recognition appeared in front of everyone. No one dared to look at it directly. The Moongazer Serpent realized that it wasn't afraid at all.
"As expected, after I transmigrated, I'm not afraid of corpses at all. I couldn't sleep before not because I was afraid, but because I hated them.”No one would like to have a corpse hanging next to them, unless they were perverts.
The forensics personnel pried open the charred corpse's mouth, revealing two big front teeth. At this moment, the art gallery employee, Kubota, suddenly exclaimed," Eh? This person is Ishijima…I know his rabbit tooth!”
"What is it? Eating island?" Police Chief Megami immediately asked him.
" He's also an employee of the art gallery like me…" Kubota briefly introduced.
"That's right," Director Ochiai agreed."The person who looked at the teeth is indeed Ishijima. It was no wonder that he hadn't appeared yet. It turned out that he was wearing armor and came here to kill Boss Shinjuka…It seemed that the recent rumors of supernatural incidents in the art gallery were also caused by him. But why was he burned to death?”
Police Department Megami asked Mochizuki, who was a witness, for information again." Did he suddenly catch fire?”
"That's right." Mochizuki replied," He slashed Boss Shinjuka with his sword. I was going to save him, but his body suddenly caught on fire. I couldn't get close to him. Oh right, there were surveillance cameras here. They should have recorded everything.”
After Mochizuki's reminder, Police Chief Megamo looked up and realized that there was a camera facing them.
There really were surveillance cameras?
He immediately ordered someone to pull out the video. Soon, everyone saw what happened through the video. It was exactly what Mochizuki had said. "It really caught fire suddenly. Why did it suddenly catch fire?”Twilight found it hard to understand.
At this moment, Xiao Ai suddenly said," At that time, we smelled something.”
"What's that smell?" Mu Mu asked.
"It might be kerosene." Xiao Ai wasn't sure.
Mochizuki continued,"It is indeed the smell of kerosene. And it wasn't there from the beginning. It was the smell that appeared after the armor came in. I suspect that he brought it in himself.”
Xiao Ai also agreed with this statement because she and Mochizuki didn't smell anything strange when they entered Hell Hall. It was only when the armor entered that the smell appeared. This meant that the smell was brought in by the island.
However, this was very strange. Could it be that he had brought his own kerosene and burned himself to death?
Police Chief Mu Mu also thought of this possibility and could not help but whisper to himself," Could it be that he set himself on fire after killing someone?”
……
In order to examine the body, the forensic personnel took off the armor on his body. When his burnt body was exposed to everyone, the timid people could no longer hold on. Xiao Lanyuan retched and covered her mouth as she escaped from Hell Hall. Xiao Ai glanced at them and followed behind the two girls.
"What is this?" Inside the armor, the forensics team found a piece of melted plastic. Because it had been burned out of shape, no one could recognize it at once. They could only judge that it was an electronic device through the circuit board.
Conan raised his head and said to Police Chief Megami,""When the armor was burning, something seemed to have exploded. Could this be the thing that exploded? There should be a battery inside, right?”
"Batteries? Oh right…some batteries would explode if they came into contact with an open flame.”Megure suddenly understood, but he was still a little confused." But what kind of equipment is this?”
"Is it the lighter?" the Moongazer Serpent reminded.
"Igniting device? It was indeed very possible! Since the lighter was on him, and the smell of kerosene was brought in by him, it could be seen that all of this was planned by him. He did not want to be caught after killing, so he set himself on fire.”
Was that really the case? Mochizuki and Conan both expressed their doubts.
……
At the same time, in the washroom of the art gallery, Xiaolan and Yuanzi were vomiting. They estimated that they would not be able to eat meat for a week, and they might even have nightmares tonight.
Footsteps sounded as Xiao Ai walked into the bathroom.
Xiao Lan didn't find it strange. She thought that Xiao Ai was also disgusted by the corpse and wanted to come here to vomit. However, Xiao Ai stood where she was without any intention of vomiting. She even asked in a very calm tone, Are you very familiar with the Moongazer Serpent?"
"Eh?" Xiao Lan was stunned. Why was this child so calm? Didn't she think that the scene just now was very scary? "I haven't known Mochizuki for long. It's only been about ten days since he just transferred to Imperial Pill High School.”
"Can you tell me about the Moongazer Serpent? Was there anything noteworthy about him?”
At this moment, Yuan Zi came over." Little girl, why do you care so much about the Moongazer Serpent? Ah! I get it now. Don't tell me you have a crush on him? Tsk tsk…kids these days are really becoming more and more mature…"
The last time Yuan Zi teased Conan like this, Conan was so anxious that he blushed and was at a loss. However, this time, she teased Xiao Ai, who was about the same age as her, but was surprised to find that Xiao Ai did not react.
What was going on? Why wasn't she embarrassed? It shouldn't be!
She was just a child. As long as she said that she liked someone, she would be anxious with him. Yuanzi knew this very well because she had once been at such an age. However, Little Ai's behavior made Yuanzi want to slap herself a few times.
"I don't know much about him. " Something worth noting…" Xiao Lan didn't know why Xiao Ai was asking about the Moongazer Serpent, but she still recalled and said,""Oh right, he said that he wants to be a reporter and interview detectives like my dad. He plans to give my dad 500,000 yuan every month so that my dad can inform him every time he encounters a case.”
Xiao Ai's eyes widened." Five hundred thousand? Does he have that much money?"
"That's what I asked him. He said that his parents had left him an inheritance of a few hundred million yuan.”
This was the first time Xiao Ai had heard of such things.
So he had so much money? But why do I always feel that he's very poor? And did he really get close to Maori Kogoro just for the interview? Or did he have some ulterior motive?
