Chapter Seven Hundred and Twenty Eight - Corpse Incineration

About 3 minutes later, the parking lot - although it started raining outside about an hour ago, and there were no open flames in the roof and other places that could be covered by rain, the interior of the car that exploded just now began to burn - the combustion location was obviously inside the body of the car, and rainwater did not do much.

There were a total of six people present, Gregory, Fujiwara, Maori and his wife, and the groom accompanying Laita, and the last one... was a burning body that was exposed to everyone and fell in front of the car's gas hole.

"..." Gregory, who was protected by Fujiwara with an umbrella, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the burning fire in front of him. "This... is no longer helpful."

"This is Hatsune's car, how could this happen..." After hearing Gregory's judgment, the groom seemed to have lost all his energy in an instant, and immediately wanted to pounce on the body burned by the flames.

"Calm down!" Kogoro Mori's reaction was quick and he immediately grabbed him, but Gregory next to him reacted faster, and he only subdued the groom with a steady and ruthless blow. "This may be just a car stolen person. Calm down first. If you just pounce in, what should you do after the bride-to-be come back?"

After saying this, Gregory winked at Fujiwara and signaled him to take the groom back to the store to rest first. In this way, only the Maori and his wife and Gregory were left at the scene.

"It seems that we can't do much." Eiri touched her wet shoulders. When Kogoro Mori rushed out to subdue the groom, she subconsciously sent the umbrella to Kogoro Mori's head, but she was a little wet because she was not covered. Looking at the direction of the flames, she said to Kogoro Mori. "Didn't those young people bring the fire extinguisher here yet?"

"They'd better bring the things over quickly, otherwise Miss Kamen Hatsune will really be nothing left." Gregory glanced at the direction of the restaurant's door, and the staff of the shop came running with fire extinguishers. "But I need to get a shot first, these fire extinguishers may not be enough."

"Are you sure this is a bride?" Eiri Nicholas frowned slightly. "It's no longer a human form?"

"Her shoes were recommended to her. Have you seen that-" as she said so, Gregory pointed to the two things in the footsteps of the corpse. "That was the tip insert of that special high heel shoe, so the flames simply couldn't reach the melting point of the thing."

...

Meanwhile, the restaurant on the second floor.

The bachelor party had stopped urgently, and the participants gathered in front of the window on the second floor, whispering uneasy. In a certain viewing condition was not good, but in front of the remote enough window, Ying and Qianyu were sitting there.

"No, this is impossible. The phone number was indeed called by the other party on his own initiative, so there is no falsehood." Qian Yu shook his head and rejected Ying's guess. "I am a very powerful hacker, and I can still confirm this. Of course, I can't do anything about confirming the content of the conversation."

Well, of course, Qianyu has the ability to eavesdrop on the phone by taking over the communication relay rights, but this is limited to instant calls. If there is no intention to take over at all, and only in the case of querying records afterwards, even the auxiliary unit cannot reproduce the disappeared content.

"But it's still very strange," Ying did not dispel his concerns. "If it were an ordinary person, it shouldn't be derived from the explosion of a car so quickly to 'it' that his wife's car must have exploded, and his wife must have been next to the car and was blown up'."

"This is really suspicious," Qianyu agreed with Ying's opinion. "So sister, haven't you already asked Gregory to pay attention just now?"

"Yes, but no matter what, the body has been completely destroyed, and it is difficult to extract evidence of the potential murderer." Ying shook her head. "Even the sleeping Kogoro and the unbeaten Queen of Jue can't be used in such a situation, right?"

The power of detectives lies in their personal flexibility and trace-based knowledge ability obtained through rich experience. If the evidence on site is highly damaged, the detectives do not even have the basic skeleton to build a castle in the air, let alone give a correct inference.

However, although I can't know what was going on, Qianyu seemed to have an amazing clue in his hand - the cell phone that was talking to the groom. Before calling the groom, he had just received a call from a landline.

...

About forty minutes later.

"Why are you here?" This is the first sentence of Officer Meguri after seeing Kogoro Mouri.

"The deceased... to be precise, the owner of the burning car is my classmate's fiancée," Kogoro Mori pointed to the restaurant behind him. "Although I'm not sure, I think the deceased should be this Miss Kamen Hatsune."

"Yes," Gregory, who stood beside the corpse whose flames had been extinguished and checked something with a flashlight, joined the conversation. "The body has been severely burned. Even if it was not suicide but murder, the relevant traces have been destroyed."

"Why are you here too?" Officer Megu was completely stunned. "You...you can't be their classmate, right?"

"I am the old friend of the deceased," Gregory replied calmly. "Stop talking about this. From the traces on the scene, it feels like an incineration caused by bringing the fire close to the gasoline filling hole. In a sense, it is similar to an accident."

"But it may not be an accident, but a suicide, because the partner... That is, the fiancé said that the deceased had called before the explosion and said goodbye to him." Kogoro Mouri spread his hands. "Of course, it is difficult to explain this. After all, he will get married tomorrow, and now there is no reason to choose to commit suicide."

"So, if this is a murder, it must be done by someone who doesn't know she will get married tomorrow, but the problem is that if it is an acquaintance who commits the crime, there is no reason not to know this." Eiri said calmly. "If you infer it according to this concept...there is no difference in murder?"

"There is too silly to say that there is no difference in murder—" When he said this, Gregory's cell phone suddenly rang, so he barely controlled the crutch and umbrella with the same hand, took out the phone with the other hand, and looked at the content of the text message. "If I were a murderer, I would never fire the car. It would be too silly and it would not be convenient to escape. Even if the detonation device was used to detonate in advance, it would be difficult to explain why Mr. Companion heard Miss Kamen's farewell before the explosion. If it was recorded in advance, this would not be consistent with the characteristics of the indiscriminate human crimes..."
