The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"Sister, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly silent?"

Conan, who was sitting next to her, saw Ena Ginbayashi staring out the window as if frozen, and asked.

In his hand was the statue of the Goddess of Ecstasy that he had wiped clean, which was the same logo on the car of Zhou Tenghao who died in the explosion.

This is also how Conan lured Ena Ginbayashi into the car.

There were so many people at the scene, and they seemed to be saying that the law doesn't stop at the masses. So when Inspector Gongchang once again said that although there was no clear suspect at the moment, the oil drum that had been dumped three times was still very suspicious, and he hoped that those present would go with him to the police station to make a statement, the group actually quieted down.

Although there is no clear suspect at present, the case has not yet been determined. Even if it sounds like excessive law enforcement, what Inspector Yumio did is in compliance with regulations in all aspects.

In the absence of physical evidence that could point to the murderer, the first thing to do is to investigate and figure out the deceased's interpersonal relationships and interest network. This is the basic work that criminal police are best at. Apart from the fact that using a police car to transport people made too much noise, there was nothing wrong with what he did.

Standing in the open space in front of the villa and chatting with the crowd is different from sitting in the interview room of the police station and taking a formal statement. Naturally, these people were scared.

Since they are unwilling to go, the only one who really cannot escape the connection is naturally Ginbayashi Ena.

The police told her that if she was willing to cooperate with the investigation, she could go alone. The group of people who had just been protecting her soon became impatient for her to take charge of the matter.

Even though she was extremely reluctant, Yin Lin Hui Na could not express any opinions at this time and had to agree.

Then she expressed her unwillingness to ride in a police car, like a criminal, and Conan used the excuse that he saw Zhou Teng Haogui's lost things on the road to take her into Dr. Agasa's car.

Under Conan's guidance, she quickly recognized the statue and followed Conan's words to introduce the indeed luxurious vintage car that Zhou Teng Haogui was driving.

"Doctor, he went to borrow gasoline from that kind uncle." Seeing that her eyes were still glued to the two of them, Conan explained with a smile, "This car is the doctor's car. He originally took us to go camping."

"Well, I just heard him say that he was out of gas and wanted Haogui to help..." When Yinlin Huina said this, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

Because the two people outside the car were pulling the large red gasoline barrel and started pushing and shoving.

This car belongs to the old man. It is already a big hassle for him to borrow gasoline now. His face is full of apologetic sneer.

On the other side, the tall man holding a toothpick in his mouth had a traditional Medallion look on his face, holding the gasoline barrel tightly, as if he was going to help him fill it up before leaving.

"Our car only has a little gas left." Conan put his hands behind his head and added, "It was this uncle at the foot of the mountain who lent us some gas and came up with us to see the fire. He's such a kind and warm-hearted person."

"...Yes, there are not many young people with such a kind heart nowadays." Yin Lin Huina continued, and saw that the two people outside the car had opened the lid of the oil barrel while pushing and pulling each other, and her fingers pinched the leather cushion she was sitting on.

No one understood the lethality of gasoline better than she, who had just used it to take a life.

This is to facilitate the use of vehicles. The gasoline has been refined and has a higher purity. Once it explodes, the flames and high temperature that come with it can envelop people in an instant.

Zhou Teng Haogui probably didn't realize what had happened until he died. He didn't even have time to scream because the sound of the explosion drowned him out.

The two of them walked closer and closer, and soon they were at a distance where I could hear their conversation even through the car door.

"Oh, you're so kind! You're willing to lend us so much money without asking for payment... Let us do it..."

"Old man, you're already this old, and it's hard for you to handle such a heavy thing. It's just a convenience, no need to be so polite..."

"No, no, you're not willing to accept the money. Your big cars use more expensive gasoline than ours, right? This is not good."

"Oh, it's okay, I'll be there..."

Under Ginlin Eina's horrified gaze, the pushing and shoving of the two people indeed affected the gasoline in their hands, and some of the transparent liquid spilled out and landed on the paved road outside the car door.

"My car is also a classic car." Conan didn't finish his words, shaking the golden goddess statue in his hand, "It's a Volkswagen Type 1, nicknamed the Beetle. It's a classic model, right? The doctor bought it many years ago and has maintained it very well. It's very comfortable to sit in."

"Classic car, classic car, that means..." Ginbayashi Ena's throat tightened, "Is it also the kind that, uh, uses a key?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded. "After all, it's a car from that era. Nowadays, most cars use remote control keys."

"Um……"

Yinlin Huina's fingertips tightened.

All of this was so familiar, as if it was tailored to her.

But looking at the little boy sitting next to her, she had to give up the idea.

Even if the police or these people guessed something, there was no need to use such a risky method to test it? Moreover, there was such a small child sitting next to him, and few people would take risks with children.

She felt relieved a little, but Conan's next words made her heart beat faster again.

"But, sister, you haven't even heard of the nickname of the Beetle, but you know Mr. Zhou Teng's Rolls-Royce very well."

Yinlin Huina calmed herself down, turned back, and reluctantly replied, "Uh, well, I didn't really pay much attention to cars before, but Haogui loves them and always talks about them a lot... Because he loves them, I guess I was influenced a little. Kid, you know a lot about cars."

Conan's voice grew more innocent. "Yeah, especially classic cars. Compared to today's cars, they're all so unique and instantly recognizable. It's interesting, isn't it?"

The smile on Yinlin Huina's face became even more forced.

It was reasonable for a child who knew a lot about classic cars to keep asking her about Zhou Teng's car while holding up a Rolls-Royce logo, but upon closer thought, it seemed more like a deliberate arrangement.

Could it be that the police are using even such a young child to extract information?

Just as she was looking at Conan scrutinizingly, wanting to ask him more questions and whether he had picked up anything else besides the car logo, the two people who had been talking to each other in a civilized and polite manner outside the window made a noise.

Dr. Agasa insisted on grabbing the oil barrel, but Ida Kou did not let go of the handle.

With simultaneous force from both sides, the liquid inside poured out directly, and with a "splash", it poured onto this half of the car door.

Yinlin Huina turned around suddenly and found that the half of the car window where she was sitting had been splashed with gasoline.

Half of the glass became blurred, making the two figures standing outside the window look even more terrifying.

"Oh, this is really..." Dr. Agasa quickly let go of his hand, his face full of apology, "I'm sorry, I seem to have caused you trouble."

"No, but it's quite troublesome to get it stained with gasoline. Otherwise, I'll put the oil here first and go to my car to change clothes..."

"It should, it should..."

Before the two of them had gone far, Tang Ze, wearing a woolen sweater, approached from behind under the horrified gaze of Yinlin Ena.

As he approached, he fanned his nose.

"Hmm, there's a smell. Did you spill gasoline?"

"Yes, it seems like good intentions led to bad consequences..."

"I'll come help too. It's not a good time to refuel now, is it? Where are the car keys, Doc?"

"In my pocket..."

Yinlin Huina's eyes suddenly widened.

Conan looked at Tang Ze, whose acting skills were so perfect that they instantly increased the credibility of the scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"The doctor's Beetle is a 73 model. The fuel tank is on this side and is usually locked." Conan added at the right time.

This statement was a bit deliberate, it was simply setting a trap for Ginlin Ena to fall into.

But Yinlin Huina, whose nerves were already stretched to the limit, no longer cared about these things.

Cardigans, gasoline, classic cars, keys...

These certainly don't constitute 100% of the factors that cause a fire, but just like today, just like Zhou Tenghaogui who was painted into a ball of fire...

What if?

"I felt it."

Tang Ze reached into Dr. Agasa's pocket and pulled out the key ring.

His next words completely set off alarm bells in Ena Ginbayashi's already alert mind.

"Ah, a little static. Sorry, Doctor, I..."

"don't want!!!"

Without waiting for Tang Ze to say the next word, Yin Lin Hui Na, who could no longer bear it, pushed open the car door, grabbed Tang Ze's arm, and pushed him back two steps.

"Stay away! Static electricity can start a fire!"

As soon as these words came out, several people present fell silent at the same time and turned to look at her.

He insisted that the fire was caused by cigarettes, but suddenly he said this, which was like self-destruction.

"Sure enough, the real ignition device is static electricity."

Inspector Gong Chang, with his hands in his pockets, slowly stood up from behind another car and walked around to the front.

Yinlin Huina was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, and looked at the liquid on the ground that she had stepped on.

Since what was brought was an oil barrel, everyone's behavior was very natural. Whether it was the pushing and shoving of Dr. Agasa and Ida Ko, or the reaction of Tang Ze who came closer and realized that it was gasoline at the first moment, they were constantly giving her psychological hints.

So even if the door was opened, her tense nerves had already weakened her perception and she didn't notice anything unusual.

Only then did she realize that apart from the smell of moist soil after the land was wet, there was no pungent smell of gasoline vapor at the scene.

I got fooled...!

"You, you guys, you are deceiving me..."

"I listened to these kids discussing the possibility with me, and I was skeptical. Now, you've confessed, ma'am." Inspector Yumio stood before the stunned Ena Ginbayashi. "You deliberately made Mr. Shuto wear a fleece jacket and sweater, which easily generate static electricity, and then made him drive non-stop all the way to the villa, leaving him no chance to dissipate the static electricity. Plus, at your request, he drove that old car. After entering the garage, he must have taken out the car keys, got out, and then turned around to lock the car..."

"This weather is very dry, which naturally leads to static electricity. Driving for a long time, the clothes on his back constantly rub against the seat, and then his clothes, and when he picked up the metal key and inserted it into the keyhole..." Dr. Agasa clenched his fist and made an open gesture, "In just a moment, the gasoline was ignited."

Conan walked down and handed the dazzling golden goddess statue to Inspector Yumio, saying, "That's why you deliberately chose this car. Mr. Zhou Teng has many cars, and most of them should use remote control devices. This will reduce the probability of fire. Two weeks ago, this is how you failed, right?"

This week's fire was her third attempt after careful preparation.

The reason why Zhou Teng Haogui survived the previous two times was related to these factors.

He drove other cars in the first week. In the second week, although he drove and dressed as required, he took a detour to a gas station on the way. After getting off the car, Zhou Teng Haogui, who had contact with the outside world, had his static electricity discharged through other contacts.

Not to mention that gas station staff have dress and safety requirements, and they must wear anti-static gloves when using the gas pump, which further reduces the possibility of static electricity in the metal car body.

After the two incidents, Yinlin Huina quickly summarized her experience, which led to today's fire.

"But, but, this doesn't prove anything, right?" After a moment of daze, Ginlin Ena quickly came to her senses and explained, "Static electricity is just an accidental situation. It's not necessarily that coincidental. It could just be a coincidence..."

"Well, if it's just once, then there's a possibility." Tang Ze pulled his hand out of her grasp and shook the key hanging on his finger. "But you've already tried three times, haven't you?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the crowd still gathered in the villa.

Even though she denied it, the two previous quarrels between them over these issues were seen by others.

There is no exact plan for her to plan these crimes. All the logical chains before and after are valid. The prosecutor is not a fool and has to consider the cause and effect of this case.

The car he drove was not the right one, the clothes he wore were not the right one, and the quarrel became so loud that all the people traveling with him could not ignore it. This contradiction is too subtle.

Ginlin Ena lowered her head and fell silent for a while.

Conan pushed his glasses and added the final blow: "Besides, sister, you don't just want his life. You also want to get rid of the car. This is also part of the reason why you insisted on choosing this car, am I right?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Yumio looked at the statue of the goddess in his hand.

Indeed, wealthy people who like to play with classic cars usually buy more than one.

The reason she had to choose this Rolls-Royce was definitely not just because she said she wanted to drive it on a date.

"...Because I want him and that car to die in that world! To repent in hell!" Ginlin Ena, completely overwhelmed, didn't care about anything else and screamed, "Zhou Teng Haogui, he's nothing but a demon in human skin! He deserves to die!"
