A violent roar exploded overhead, causing dirt and debris to fly everywhere.
Yuan Huaiyu stepped on the brakes and parked the car firmly on the side of the road.
Through the car window, Dr. Ali and the children saw an elegant villa standing at the top of the mountain road, but the villa was now filled with flames.
A golden object fell from the sky. Conan took a closer look and found that the image of the object was an angel spreading its wings and making a flying gesture.
"The logo on the front of a Rolls-Royce..."
He was stunned. Just as they were on the road, they were forcibly and dangerously overtaken by a rather unqualified Rolls-Royce. The direction of that Rolls-Royce was the villa on the top of the mountain.
"Let's go take a look."
Yuan Huaiyu sighed, knowing that this little guy Conan would definitely not be able to turn a blind eye to this explosion.
After saying that, he started the car and drove straight towards the mountain road ahead.
Within a few minutes, thanks to Yuan Huaiyu's superb driving skills, they arrived outside the courtyard of the mountaintop villa.
Thick smoke billowed from the villa, flames licked the air, the high temperature distorted vision, and the eyes were filled with smoke and firelight.
"Mr. Haogui! Mr. Haogui!"
A black-haired woman cried heartbrokenly. Her friend hugged her tightly from behind to prevent her from entering the fire: "No, Eina, it's very dangerous!"
"But, but, Mr. Haogui is still inside..." The woman named Ena had tears on her face.
"We've called ambulances and fire trucks!"
Conan ran up and asked breathlessly: "Does the wealthy gentleman you are talking about drive a Rolls-Royce?"
"Huh? Who are you?"
Another young woman standing nearby looked at the child who suddenly appeared suspiciously.
"I'm sorry, this child is my student. I was taking the children out for camping today."
Yuan Huaiyu followed him to the courtyard and explained to the people outside the villa: "Just now a Rolls-Royce overtook our car on the road and headed towards the mountaintop villa..."
When they saw Yuanhuaiyu, except for Miss Huinai who was still sobbing, the eyes of several young women who were a little depressed at first lit up, and they immediately started talking to Yuanhuaiyu.
"Yes, the fire started in Haogui's garage. Logically speaking, he should have just arrived. I don't know why it caught fire."
"Although this guy has a bad temper, but being friends, alas..."
"By the way, does this little brother have a girlfriend?"
Yuanhuaiyu seemed to be unable to bear the enthusiasm of the girls, so he took a step away without leaving a trace and stood aside.
"It's quite popular..." Hui Yuan Ai narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced sideways at him.
It didn't take long for the fire engines and ambulances to come roaring in hand in hand. Also coming was Yumaga Police Department, who is responsible for fire-related incidents and is called "Fire Daddy" by Kogoro Mori.
"The person who was burned to death was Mr. Shuto Gouki, 34 years old... It is said that he was the person in charge of the company who built such a luxurious villa with a lot of money earned from the IT industry..."
Police Chief Gong frowned slightly.
In front of him was the garage where the fire had been extinguished. Although the fire trucks and ambulances arrived very quickly, after the fire was extinguished, all that appeared in the eyes of everyone was the charred corpse and the deformed Rolls-Royce.
car.
"The cause of the fire was a cigarette in the mouth..."
Conan was confused: "A cigarette in your mouth?"
"Well. Because the gasoline barrel in the garage happened to overturn on the ground, the volatile gasoline filled the entire garage... At this time, Mr. Shuto arrived by car. He opened the garage door and parked the car with a cigarette in his mouth.
Get out of the car. The open flame directly ignited the fire, which engulfed the entire car and caused an explosion..."
Gongchang Police Department patiently told him about the fire scene reconstructed by the forensics department personnel.
"The police found burnt cigarette butts, so there must be no mistake..."
"That, that's impossible! Mr. Haogui clearly said that he has quit smoking! For me who hates the smell of cigarettes!"
Police Gongchang looked back in surprise and saw an excited woman with tears on her face: "Uh, who are you?"
"She is Shuto's fiancée, Miss Ginbayashi Ena..." Seeing Ginbayashi Ena crying, a man next to him walked out, "Our group of friends gather here every weekend to have a party. It seems that tonight there will be a party for Shuto.
Something needs to be announced…”
"It's a wedding..." Ginbayashi Ena was filled with sadness, "We have decided on the wedding date, so we plan to announce it in front of everyone! But, but... how could this happen..."
"We did find the ashes of the marriage application registration form from the deceased. It has the signatures and seals of both of you. It seems that he is indeed announcing his marriage, but what he said about quitting smoking is probably a lie, right?"
"Ah?" Ena Ginbayashi opened her eyes wide.
Police Gongchang looked back at the Rolls-Royce that had turned into a pile of scrap metal: "There were a large number of cigarette butts in the ashtray in the car, and besides the burnt cigarette butts, a leather bag also fell next to the deceased.
, which contains unopened cigarette boxes and lighters..."
"How is that possible? I just told him not to smoke..." Ena Ginbayashi burst into tears again.
"Just now?" Gong Chang Police Department keenly captured the key words.
"It's like this. Mr. Shuto called us an hour ago and told us that he was on his way here. So Eina told him on the phone that if he refused to quit smoking, he would cancel the engagement..." Just now
The blond woman who was hugging Eina Ginbayashi stood up and said.
"Are you sure that the call was from Mr. Shuto?" Gongchang Police Department asked.
"Yes, I answered the call at the beginning, and I talked to him before hanging up the phone. I said the meal was ready, just let him come with an empty stomach..." The blond woman nodded affirmatively.
"If you put it this way, Mr. Shuto, who was simply disobedient, must have brought it upon himself... This case must have been an accident." Police Chief Gongzhang said to himself in a low voice.
"Not necessarily?"
Conan's crisp voice sounded: "Since Mr. Shuto got out of the car with a cigarette in his mouth, that means he had taken out his cigarettes and lit them before getting off the car, right? But it seems like there was no unopened cigarette box anywhere!"
"
He looked at the police officers from the forensics department: "Is that right, uncle?"
"Yes, there was nothing found in the car or the garage..."
Upon hearing this, the Gongchang Police Department also realized something was wrong.
