"Perhaps the cigarette butts next to Mr. Shuto were dropped in the garage before he arrived?"
Conan said with an innocent expression.
"What do you mean?"
"Conan, you mean..."
Genta and Mitsuhiko soon heard that there was something wrong in their companion's words, and looked at Conan in disbelief, trying to get a definite answer from him.
"What I mean is... this may not be a simple accident, but a carefully planned... murder case."
Conan looked serious.
"Really, Conan?" Ayumi's watery eyes were immediately covered with a layer of fear.
"Well..." Conan nodded and glanced at Yuan Huaiyu strangely - Teacher Yuan should be able to see such an obvious flaw quickly, but why didn't Teacher Yuan stand up and say something?
What?
Without thinking much, he began to explain to the three little ones and the Gongchang Police Department next to him: "The gasoline barrel placed in the garage happened to overturn on the ground, and the gasoline that flowed out filled the entire garage after evaporation. It was at this time that I drove the car.
Mr. Gouki Shuto came to the garage, got out of the car with a cigarette in his mouth, ignited the flames, and caused an explosion..."
"Although the cigarette butt that caused the fire was also found in the garage, it does look like an accident at first glance, but since he was smoking, there was no cigarette box that should have been opened, indicating that the cigarette butt was most likely Mr. Shuto's
It was already placed here before we arrived here.”
He concluded: "This cigarette butt is probably false evidence that the murderer deliberately left behind in order to make people mistakenly think that he died in an accident!"
"As expected of Conan!" Ayumi opened her eyes wide.
"But, kid..." Police Gongchang shook his head slightly, denying his point of view, "The police have just searched the garage and found no similar device that can ignite."
At this time, Ena Ginbayashi spoke: "Is it possible that that was the last cigarette in the box? If that's the case, he might have thrown away the empty box before entering the garage."
She held her chin in contemplation: "Mr. Haogui used to crumble empty cigarette boxes into a ball and throw them out of the car window..."
Officer Gongzhang was noncommittal about her statement: "Then you mean that as long as you search the vicinity of this villa, you will find the empty box?"
"Yes, yes..." Ginbayashi Eina's mood was inexplicably incoherent, "But maybe he threw away the empty box earlier... If Mr. Haogui lied to me when he said he had quit smoking, he should
I will avoid throwing them near the villa..."
You might as well not explain...
Yuan Huaiyu sighed in his heart and almost couldn't help but hold his forehead and became speechless.
This kind of statement is too obvious - people often come to hold parties in this villa, and even if a cigarette box is found, Shuto Haoki can completely blame others, and there is no need to be so cautious.
If you say this, even if you can deceive other people, you will definitely not be able to deceive the brat like Conan.
Gongchang Police Department also glanced at her: "If you go by what you said, then our search scope will be expanded a lot, not to mention there are rivers and valleys along the way..."
"But that's all I can think of..." Ena Ginbayashi looked a little anxious.
"Sister, do you really think that Mr. Shuto has quit smoking?" As expected by Yuan Huaiyu, Conan had become suspicious and began to pretend to be a pure Ginbayashi Ena.
"Huh?" Eina Ginbayashi obviously didn't expect that a strange elementary school student passing by was asking a question, and she was obviously stunned for a moment.
But her friends who went to the villa for a party complained: "What are you talking about? No one saw Shu Teng secretly smoking!"
"Exactly! Ever since he publicly stated that he wanted to quit smoking, he has never smoked a cigarette again!"
Conan said calmly and reluctantly: "But that was in front of you, big brother? How do you know whether he smokes secretly?"
Shuto Goki's friends also continued to refute: "No matter what, I still believe that he will abide by the agreement..."
"Yes, after all, Shuto loves Eina deeply, so there is no problem in quitting smoking for her."
Ginbayashi Eina finally calmed down the panic in her heart and said: "And, hypothetically, just hypothetically, even if I know that Mr. Haogui is still secretly smoking, I still did it in front of him during the phone call he just made.
Tell him that if he doesn’t quit smoking, he will cancel the engagement!”
"Even if this is the case, will he still get out of the car with a cigarette in his mouth even if he violates our agreement?"
Conan frowned slightly as he watched Eina Ginbayashi explaining to the Yumaga Police Department.
"It's self-defeating..."
Yuan Huaiyu sighed in a voice that only Conan, Haihara Ai and Dr. A Li could hear.
"Yes." Conan said that Teacher Yuan had indeed noticed it a long time ago, "But the question now is, if it was not the cigarette butt that caused the explosion, then what exactly ignited the volatile gasoline?"
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand..." Dr. A Li was completely confused.
"Shou Teng must have really quit smoking. There was an unopened cigarette case in the bag that was found, which shows that he was confident that the contents of the bag would not be seen by others, so there should be an empty cigarette box in the bag."
Yuan Huaiyu explained softly.
Conan nodded: "That's it. Although I don't know why a fire can be caused in the garage without fire, but I am basically certain that this should be a trap set by Miss Ena Ginbayashi..."
"What?" Dr. Ali's eyes widened.
"Maybe it's because of the inconsistencies in her words that made you suspicious, right?" Haiyuan Ai didn't find it too strange.
"Yes. At first, Officer Yunaga said that the fire was caused by cigarette butts, but Miss Eina was still crying and denied that he had stopped smoking."
Seeing that Teacher Yuan had no intention of explaining, Conan took the initiative to assume the role of commentator and said: "But not long after, when I said that there were no unopened cigarette boxes, she was talking about whether it would be the last
If a cigarette and cigarette case have been thrown out of the window..."
"If she really believed that her fiancé had quit smoking, she should have said - I knew he had quit smoking - something like this."
Dr. A Li finally came to his senses: "Indeed..."
"If you interpret this illogical logic as the murderer's rhetoric, you can understand it."
Conan's lens reflected a ray of light: "The reason why she denies Officer Gong Chang is to show that she does not know that Mr. Haogui is secretly smoking. As for refuting my point... she just wants to show that the cause of the fire must be the flame of the cigarette!
