Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

Otaki Goro was surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that a self-immolation incident occurred here, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to see something similar to the one in the corpse burning case." Toyama Ginjiro's gaze lingered on the fragment.

"Uncle Ginjiro!" Hattori Heiji greeted him and quickly asked, "Can you tell me more?"

"A few days ago, a charred body was found in the outer flood channel. There were also fragments like this on the body."

After a pause, Toyama Ginjiro continued, "Actually, this type of fragment appeared thirteen years ago. It was also in the Outer Flood Path, and it also contained a charred corpse!"

Maori Kogoro widened his eyes and muttered, "Isn't that very likely a serial murder case?!"

Hattori Heiji understood. No wonder his father personally took part in the corpse burning case. It turned out that it was related to an old case from more than ten years ago.

"The previous fragment had the number 848 written on it. Based on my and Hezang's speculation, these fragments are likely to be fragments of treasures and are related to a certain treasure."

Speaking of "treasure", Toyama Ginjiro secretly glanced at the four people in the tour group.

"Treasure? Could that scroll be a treasure map?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the scroll.

Hattori Heiji opened the partially burned scroll, and there was only one word "dragon" on it.

Maori Kogoro said disappointedly: "There's nothing on it!"

Hattori Heiji thought of a possibility, so he threw away his umbrella and let the rain wash over him.

Otaki Goro was about to say something when he saw patterns and words appear on the blank scroll.

"Sure enough!" Hattori Heiji smiled and explained to everyone, "To the left and right of Osaka Castle's Sakura Gate are dragon and tiger stones that guard the castle tower. Whenever it rains, dragon and tiger patterns appear on them!"

Conan stared intently at the pattern on the scroll and said in a deep voice, "I know what the treasure is."

"Legend has it that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's treasure, known as the Golden King, was buried there. Every time Toyotomi Hideyoshi won a battle, he would add a small gourd to his tachima staff. This is called the Sensei Gou Tan!"

Conan became more and more excited as he spoke, completely unaware that everyone was staring at him.

Only after he finished explaining the origins of the treasure did he realize he had said too much. He quickly rubbed the back of his head and said with a wry smile, "I saw this on TV before. I think the pattern looks a lot like a gourd."

"Kid, you have a great talent for reasoning!" Hattori Heiji smiled and took the opportunity to grab Conan's head.

Maori Kogoro complained: "This kid just likes to watch weird TV shows."

After teasing Conan, Hattori Heiji got back to the point: "Those three people must have been killed just because they were fighting for the treasure!"

"But Detective Chief Toyama, how did you and this director deduce that it was related to the treasure from just two pieces of debris?" Otaki Goro was a little puzzled.

Toyama Ginjiro explained, "Because one of the pieces looks like the mouth of a gourd, plus the number 884, and there's gold dust on the inside of the fragment."

"Uncle Ginjiro, since you already knew this, why didn't you just say it?"

Toyama Ginjiro laughed and said, "Didn't you untie it quickly, Heiji?"

Then, he glanced at the scroll in Hattori Heiji's hand: "There is the Dragon Scroll, and the corresponding one is the Tiger Scroll. That one is likely to indicate the final burial place of the treasure."

The four people in the tour group who had been listening finally couldn't hold back any longer and found excuses to leave the scene.

Otaki Goro wanted to stop him, but Toyama Ginjiro raised his hand to stop him.

Looking at the four people leaving, a hint of confusion flashed in Hattori Heiji's eyes.

Why did Toyama Ginjiro let the four go? Did he know something else?

While he was thinking, Hattori Heiji saw Toyama Ginjiro pulling Otaki Goro aside and whispering something to him.

Then he walked aside alone and made a phone call.

There really is a secret!

Like his father, Toyama Ginjiro likes to be a riddle teller.

In that case, he will find out the truth himself!

At this moment, the police who had been sent to search the area near the castle tower came back, and one of them was holding a dry cell battery packed in an evidence bag.

"Inspector Otaki, this was found around the castle tower!"

The dry cell battery had obvious signs of being burned!

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other. The appearance of the dry battery further proved that Kato Yuji's death was a deliberate murder!

……

restaurant.

Since it was almost dinner time, everyone found a restaurant to have dinner.

"Why does the rain never stop?" Yuanshan Heye looked at the drizzling rain outside and felt a little depressed.

A good opportunity to travel was ruined just like that.

Ikenami Shizuka said, "It has become smaller. Let's go now and see how Heiji and the others are doing."

The group walked back to the castle tower and had to cross a bridge called Gokuraku Bridge.

The road was crowded, perhaps because of the murder, and there were no tourists walking on the bridge.

When he reached the bridge, Kitagawa Taki saw a man standing in the middle of the bridge.

The man had his back to the crowd, motionless, and looked quite strange.

He called out to the girls, indicating that something was happening ahead, and at the same time released his spiritual sense to investigate.

Only then did they realize that the person was none other than the squinty-eyed Shigehiko Wakisaka from the tour group.

He was wearing a diving suit and a women's windbreaker over it.

When the women shone their flashlights over there, he lit his lighter and led it in front of him.

Then, the flames quickly spread to his whole body. He seemed to struggle a few times and fell off the bridge into the river.

Several women exclaimed and hurried over to check the situation.

I saw a burning figure in the river, and it was no longer moving.

However, Kitagawa Taki discovered that the person was actually the woman in the tour group, Katagiri Maho, and Wakisaka Shigehiko had already left under the cover of night.

"what--"

Seeing someone burning himself to death in front of them, Xiaolan, Yuanshan and Ye screamed in unison.

Kitagawa Taki shook Xiaolan's hand. From what had just happened, it was obvious that Wakisaka Shigehiko was the murderer.

The saying that people with squinty eyes are monsters has been proven again.

But what kind of role does that old man Zawu Youhong play?

……

Gokuraku Bridge and the castle tower were not far away, and the surrounding police quickly rushed over after hearing the noise.

Also coming with them were Kogoro Mouri and two others.

Toyama Kazuha described to everyone what had just happened.

The police also fished out Katagiri Maho who was soaking in the water.

Her burns were not serious enough to cause her death.

After examining the patient, Otaki Goro quickly determined that the direct cause of death was a severe blow to the back of the head.

"She must have hit her head on the bridge pier when she fell and then fell into the water."

Maori Kogoro pondered and said, "So this is suicide?"
