Chapter 1682 Missed Case
Saturday night.
Karasawa had just finished dinner when he received a notification from the back office at Kosouyan, saying that a tent caught fire at a newly opened campground outside Tokyo and a murder had occurred.
When Tang Ze heard about the location of the case, he felt that the location and the manner of death of the deceased were very familiar.
After arriving at the scene and taking a look, I found that Conan and a few little ones were indeed there.
Not only that, the person who took them camping this time was not Dr. Agasa, but Rumi Wakasa.
Seeing this, Tang Ze didn't know that there was something wrong with his test. The cases that he could have known about in advance were only found out now after they happened.
So after he got out of the car, he first said hello to the few running over, and then asked Haiyuan to help keep an eye on them, while he made an excuse to ask Conan to follow him into the car to get something so that he could have a place to talk.
"Didn't I tell you to pay attention to Rumi Wakasa's movements and contact her at any time if there is any situation?"
After Tangze dragged Conan into the car, he said angrily: "In the end, you came out with the other party and didn't even notify me."
"At first we planned to come with Dr. A Li, but not long before you called, Dr. A Li's cold got worse, so we canceled the original camping plan."
Conan said with a look of helplessness: "But after I told Ayumi and others about this later, they didn't give up. Then they approached Teacher Xiaolin and wanted her to lead the team as a guardian."
According to Conan's description.
Although the three little ones found Teacher Xiaolin at that time, the teacher looked a little hesitant because he had a date with Shiratori.
However, the three little ones couldn't tell that Conan and Haiyuan still had some winks, so they directly spoke to Teacher Xiaolin and asked the three little ones to give up the request.
However, although Mr. Kobayashi did not come, he asked Rumi Wakasa to do it later, and she readily agreed.
And when he learned that Rumi Wakasa promised to take them camping, Conan did not refuse.
After all, because of what happened before and because Tang Ze asked him to pay attention to the other party, he also wanted to have more contact with the other party to see if he could get more information.
"So you just stopped contacting me?" After listening to Conan's words, Tang Ze said with drooping eyes.
"There's nothing I can do about it. The main reason is that calling you this time is too conspicuous."
Conan explained helplessly in a low voice: "Actually, there were some problems in the first two cases involving Wakasa Rumi-sensei.
The first time, I noticed some traces of dust being wiped off the handle in the basement.
It was obvious that someone had opened the basement door before we arrived.
The second time we went to Wakasa Rumi’s home, I found a shopping receipt from the supermarket in her home.
Above are five cups and plates, which corresponds to the number of five of us.
I suspect that she learned about Banno Sadago's intention to kill someone in the morning, and then stained the painting to get us involved.
But both cases were interfered with by Tang De Criminal Investigation.
I suspect that the other party already knew about the case and deliberately involved me."
Conan paused after saying this, waiting for Karasawa to digest the previous information, and then spoke again: "And calling Wakasa Rumi for this outing was completely unexpected. I thought that I would not be prepared by the other party again, so I simply invited her to accompany me as a guardian.
Let's come together.
However, there can only be one guardian in this case, plus you ruined her plan the first two times.
Don’t worry if it’s an accident or not, but calling you again will definitely reveal the secret, and it’s obvious that the two of us are related.”
Speaking of this, Conan also spread his hands helplessly: "I didn't expect that I would encounter a case in this newly opened camping ground."
After hearing Conan's words, Tangze was speechless and could only choose to remain silent.
He never thought that missing this case was because Conan deliberately failed to inform him.
And the logic is so self-consistent that even if he accidentally learns of Conan's action, he will probably be stopped by the other party and not allowed to come to this campsite.
But Conan seems to have forgotten one thing. Even if he can't come in his true form, he can still come in disguise and change his identity!
But in Conan's eyes, it seems unnecessary, and the other party will just be confused.
After all, he didn't know Tangze's purpose of preventing the case. In his opinion, it would have been a completely unnecessary action for a stranger.
After all, strangers cannot talk and test each other. Even if they pretend to know each other on the spot, if the other party sees the clues, there is a risk of exposing the connection.
So this is completely unnecessary.
But Leng Nuan knows it well. If it were really disguised and came here, there would be no need to solve the case.
After figuring out Conan's thinking pattern, Tangze could only sigh slightly and swallow the bitter pill this time.
It was really destined that he could not prevent this case.
However, Tangze soon adjusted his mentality and planned to solve the case as soon as possible.
After all, neither Wakasa Rumi nor Kuroda Hei is the person he wants to deal with this time.
Instead of watching them confront each other tit for tat and talk in a sarcastic manner, he might as well solve the case quickly and go home to sleep.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze sighed in his heart, then looked at Conan and said: "I understand the situation, let's focus on the case now.
Also, try not to be too conspicuous, otherwise she might notice something if you fall in the eyes of a caring person like her."
"Understood." Conan nodded, immediately opened the car door and jumped out of the car.
After Karasawa got off the car, he took Conan to the camping road to meet the forensic examiners from Kesouyan.
That's right, it's the forensic examiner from Kesouyan.
With the gradual growth of Kesouyan, and the fact that Kesouyan was originally like an enlarged and professional forensics department, and the work content was perfectly matched, they were naturally managed by Gui Tangze.
Of course, this does not mean that forensic analysts will disappear in the future.
On the contrary, they also have independent departments within Kesouyan.
Although there will be many scientific investigators at the scene, they are more proficient in certain aspects, such as footprints, fingerprints, and documents.
However, things like on-site evidence collection, verification, and determining where there may be traces of criminals or evidence needed for criminal purposes are not professional.
In other words, forensic investigators and scientific investigators are not rivals with overlapping functions, but complementary existences.
Of course, this is far from the truth.
After arriving at the crime scene, looking at the burning tent and the burned bodies inside, forensic investigators and forensic doctors went forward to check the situation.
However, the criminal who came over was not Officer Megure, an old acquaintance of Karasawa.
"Police Gongchang, I didn't expect you to be at the scene of the crime this time. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Seeing the man with a crew cut and a Chinese character face, Karasawa smiled and greeted him and Kuroda Hei next to him, "There is also Manager Kuroda. I didn't expect you to be here."
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's better not to see you." Hearing this, the Gongchang Police Department joked with a smile: "After all, dealing with you proves that there is another troublesome case."
"I'm here to camp, don't you feel like you don't fit in with me?"
After hearing Karasawa's words and answering, Kuroda Heibei on the side immediately looked at the Yumaga Police Department: "I'm sorry, I was originally thinking about calling Megure from the Search Section 1, but after all, there was a fire."
"No, no, it's nothing. After all, we should call our fire department when there is a fire!" Gong Chang, the police officer, shook his head after hearing this.
"Yes." Kuroda Bie nodded lightly, and then said directly: "How is the situation at the scene?"
"The source of the fire can definitely be the candle in the lamp."
Hearing this, Gongchang Police Department pointed to the remnants in the tent and said: "That candle merged with other candles scattered on the ground, and then caused the fire."
"Um"
Hearing this, Kuroda Bingwei continued to ask in a hoarse voice: "Did you find anything else?"
"You can see that after the candle fell down, because there were flammable items such as comic books and clothes nearby, the train quickly spread inside the tent."
Police Gongzhang pointed to a pile of beer cans next to him and said: "The fire burned the deceased in his sleep, and he should have been revived.
But judging from the beer cans he drank from, the deceased seemed to have drunk a lot of alcohol before, which is probably why he didn't wake up in time to escape."
Speaking of which, the Gongchang Police Department took out an evidence bag and said: "After inspection by the forensic examiner, it was found that the entrance to the tent was zippered and locked."
"Does that mean it's most likely an accident?" Kuroda Hei asked after hearing Yumaga Police Department's judgment.
"The possibility of an accident is very high." Gongchang Police Department said this and looked at Tang Zedao: "But Tang Ze Criminal, what do you think?"
"I think this is caused by humans."
Tangze said: "It's just that the mechanism arranged by the prisoner is a bit clever, so the Gongchang Police Department only judged from the fire aspect, but did not find these clues."
What Karasawa said was very high-level. It not only refuted the judgment of Gongchang Police Department, but also affirmed the other party's professionalism and took care of his face.
It's not that your judgment is wrong, but you are judging from other aspects of the fire, while I am investigating from the perspective of homicide.
The direction of thinking is different, and the points of attention are naturally different, so it is normal that you have not noticed it.
Enough steps are given.
After hearing what Tang Ze said, Kuroda and Heiwei focused their attention on Tang Zhe's face.
"Have you discovered anything?" Kuroda Hei's rough voice sounded slowly: "Tell me about it."
"Look at the remaining part of the melted candle. There is still a section of the candle that can almost maintain its original shape. There is a small black hole on the top part."
Tangze pointed at the candle and said: "And there is a bamboo stick next to it, which makes it difficult not to make people suspicious.
In addition, there are strange "V"-shaped burn marks on the comics placed next to the laptop.
If a book burns, the entire book should be spread by flames. This "V" shape is obviously because the flames cannot burn both sides, which is why it forms this shape.
All signs indicate that this fire was not an accident, but was caused by man."
"I see, it makes sense!" Gongzhang Police Department nodded in agreement after hearing the doubts pointed out by Tangze: "As expected of Tangze Criminal, his insight is different."
"Then it seems like the person who did the tampering must be one of the three people who visited the deceased's tent."
When Kuroda Hei said this, he looked at the two men and one woman standing nearby, and his words also made the expressions of the three people not far away look ugly.
Tang Ze looked at the two men and one woman. The girl looked pretty with long hair, while one of the two boys wore glasses and a green coat, and the other had short hair and a yellow coat.
"I remember that the first person to go to the deceased's tent at the beginning seemed to be Ms. Mitori Furugaoka whose name I just asked, right?"
Kuroda Hei looked at the three of them and said, "Next is Mr. Ashizawa Junto, and the last one to go is Mr. Danno Kunori, right?"
"Ah, I remember before Mr. Criminal came over, when Yuantai called you, didn't you say that you had been sleeping in the tent with earplugs on?"
Hearing Kuroda Hei's words, Rumi Wakasa asked angrily: "Why do you know the order in which they went to the deceased's tent at this time?"
"Regarding this, I was actually asleep at the time, and then I saw you in the gap at the entrance of the tent."
Kuroda Bei said: "I saw you were eating curry happily."
"Then did you want to observe someone from inside the tent?" Rumi Wakasa had a smile on her face, but the edge in her words was not concealed at all.
"No, I just saw it accidentally."
Facing Wakasa Rumi's sharp questioning, Kuroda Bie's expression remained calm.
"I saw it by accident"
Rumi Wakasa looked at Kuroda Hei's single eye with terrifying eyes, and the two sides seemed to be fighting invisibly.
Conan on the side shrank his neck unconsciously as he watched this scene, and at the same time, the doubts in his heart deepened.
He never imagined why the one-eyed suspect he suspected of having Rum's characteristics would be so tense when they first met.
'Do you two know each other?'
Conan's mind raced with thoughts: 'Or, they noticed something.'
When he thought that the two "one-eyed men" were actually involved, Conan suddenly felt that the situation was a little confusing.
However, he quickly stopped thinking and stood aside to watch the changes.
"Because the tent I set up was right next to the burning tent, I remembered their order when they came here."
Kuroda Heibei on the side heard Wakasa Rumi's words and said, "Well, because I was wearing earplugs at the time, I didn't hear what the three people said to the deceased."
"Then you were lying in the tent and fell asleep, right?"
After hearing Kuroda Hei's explanation, Rumi Wakasa looked at him with a gloomy and terrifying look and said, "I was wondering if you were just observing someone you care about.
So just leave the burning tent next to you alone~"
Rumi Wakasa's tone was extremely gentle, but the questions she asked were sharp and heart-wrenching.
