The Secret of Gin [Conan]

93

"The external oil pipe at the bottom of the car did not break and leak naturally."

Kudo Shinichi lay down on the charred blackened road and carefully identified it with a magnifying glass.

"...According to the traces, the gasoline should have spread to the road surface within a short period of time. Because the road surface soaked in gasoline for a long time is different from the surrounding ones, and the burnt is the most thorough, you can feel it with your fingers...But Not here, not even where the car was parked."

Kudo Shinichi picked up a small piece of unknown wreckage with his glove and stuffed it into the evidence bag, then stood up and said to Furutani Rei: "It must be gin, although I don't know what their motivation is for doing this."

Jiang Guling suddenly said: "Camera."

Kudo Shinichi was stunned, and then he turned his head quickly, looking at the group of reporters in the distance who were frantically holding up their microphones and cameras to break through the police cordon, and Police Officer Megure who was being chased and intercepted by them, he took a breath of air .

Kudo Shinichi, a high school student detective, used to often appear at the scene of murders. He has long seen the crazy posture of media reporters. Smelling the smell of death, they rushed forward in groups.

Even when they didn’t know the details of the case, they took a photo and slandered the incompetence of the police, charged the victim, interviewed the murderer’s family, relatives and friends, and wished that even an ant passing by the murder scene could be written as a reason to stimulate the murderer.

This business is not without good people, but very few.

This group of vultures went crazy, and anyone would dare to chase after them for an interview.

Such a strong earthquake occurred in the Tokyo metropolitan area, but the location of the epicenter was shallow and the area of ​​influence was small. Most of the victims were still concentrated near this lake area, and the Dorobega Amusement Park was the focus of it.

It is conceivable that they rushed here as soon as they received the news.

An hour ago, they were like this now, holding up microphones and cameras, approaching every survivor who escaped from the amusement park, but they didn't know that there were extremely dangerous people hidden inside——

Kudo Shinichi stood up with mixed feelings.

There were journalists among the victims of the accident just now, but the tragic death of their colleagues did not scare them at all, but made them even more crazy. Just now, they almost overturned the vehicle transporting the corpses, just to get first-hand photos. Send news.

"...I kind of miss the previous world." Kudo Shinichi murmured.

At least on Conan's side, the cameras like to shoot criminals and detectives, not corpses.

This may have something to do with the frequent occurrence of cases there.

Compared with the dead body, everyone is more concerned about the new tricks of the new criminals. Some TV stations have even launched a variety show that reveals the secrets of the crimes in the secret room.

"We already know the motive, but the truth of this case... probably can only be locked in the files of the police, and it can only be said to be an accident to the outside world."

Rei Furutani was in a bad mood. He walked towards a police car, and seemed to remember something on the way, then turned to Shinichi Kudo and said, "I still suggest you go back to the United States."

"No, I promised Xiaolan..."

Kudo Shinichi regained his spirits and followed Furutani Rei.

He said anxiously: "We haven't failed yet, we have the clues."

According to the information they gained from this trip to the parallel world, Vodka is aliased as Uozuka Saburo, and holds relevant documents. It seems that he is engaged in the real estate agency business and has a good understanding of related businesses.

Furutani Rei and Amuro Toru both stated that Vodka before the organization collapsed did not have the ability to do this.

"I have already called Kazami and asked him to use this name to investigate all employees of real estate agencies, especially the houses rented out by Uozuka Saburo."

Furutani Rei did not refuse Kudo Shinichi to follow the car, he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the city.

Kudo Shinichi lay on the car window, trying to find suspicious persons from among the disgraced survivors along the road.

"...Gin is a cunning person. He will abandon his original residence immediately after he comes back, so we are rushing to find them before he destroys all the items in that house in a hurry."

Furutani Rei knew that when he tried to grab vodka in the amusement park, he directly called Saburo Uozuka's pseudonym, and Vodka would definitely tell Gin.

But a house used as a hiding place is not a safe house for a short stay. There are too many traces left behind, and it is not so easy to clean them up. Bombs in this world are not everywhere, and even if they are powerful, they are not so powerful.

If the cleaning is not careful, there must be something to dig in the ruins, instead of burning them all.

"From this afternoon, all gas explosions and fire cases in the Tokyo metropolitan area... cases involving damaged houses, missing tenants or homeowners, all reported to me... and cases of missing employees of real estate agency companies, focus on it .”

Yuya Kazami's hesitant voice came from Furutani Rei's phone:

"Well, Mr. Jianggu, today's earthquake caused many small car accidents and fires, and there is a serious shortage of manpower. Even if there are missing cases, it is difficult to report them in a short time..."

Kudo Shinichi sighed in disappointment.

Jiang Gu Ling hung up the phone, but looking at his eyes, it was obvious that he did not give up.

In that world, Uozuka Saburo's car rental, house hunting, and detective hunting were all concentrated in the Kabado-cho and Toya-cho areas, and he seemed to be very familiar with the situation there, so let's take a gamble now.

"map."

Kudo Shinichi immediately took out the yellow pages and maps from under the car seat.

"Choose one, Kashido-machi or Toya-machi, which one is more likely to be selected by Gin?" Furutani Rei thought while driving.

Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up, he flipped through the map and started reasoning.

94.

A certain house in Kubado-cho.

There were several slender cracks in the pavement, and the remains of flowerpots lay in the flowerbeds.

The owner of the convenience store in the distance is calling on the migrant workers to put up the sign again.

"Shh."

Gin drew the curtains.

Saburo Uozuka knelt on the floor and carefully cleaned and wiped it. Vodka, who was a brother in distress, was dealing with the fingerprints and hair on the tables, chairs and furniture.

Because Kurosawa often wears gloves at home, even if he touched something, his fingerprints would be wiped off quickly, so it was more like they were doing a thorough cleaning, and the whole room was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Gin walked into the bathroom and saw the mirror at first sight.

His eyebrows twitched violently.

The bathroom was very clean. Kurosawa casually looked at the gap between the wall and floor tiles, poured the detergent into the toilet tank, and pressed the button to keep it flushing.

"Do you like this mirror?" Kurosawa asked suddenly.

Gin had the urge to use a wooden barn against Kurosawa's forehead, and he said coldly, "I can't see the difference between it and other mirrors."

"Oh, it's very different, I chose it on purpose." Heise stepped back two steps, kept standing in the shower room, and gestured, "From this angle, not only can I see myself, but I can also see the bathroom door handle." .No matter what time it is, we are always vigilant. The position of doors and windows is very important...By the way, I prefer Thursday, preferably with moonlight.”

Gin turned around blankly, and closed the door heavily.

After he came out, he found Saburo Uozuka and Vodka with their heads stretched out, as if they were afraid that they would fight in the bathroom.

"Shut up and get to work."

"...Brother, I didn't say anything."

"What you think in your heart is already written on your face!"

Gin said impatiently.

Vodka shrank his head, his feeling told him that the elder brother really wanted to kill someone.

I just don't know who I want to kill.

Vodka didn't want to die, but he also didn't want to see the two gins fight each other, which would definitely involve him and Saburo Uozuka, and it would be hard to say who would die and who would live.

Hey, it's too difficult.

Vodka worked silently, Uozuka Saburo rarely laughed at him, and went to another room to clean the floor.

A fact that other members of the organization do not know is that Gin is actually an expert at cleaning the house. Of course, this ability is relatively skewed, limited to cleaning and destroying traces.

Vodka was also forced into second hand by gin.

There are now four people, and the house was quickly "cleaned" inside and out.

Saburo Uozuka pushed the contents of a suitcase and walked out, followed by vodka.

"Not leaving a present?"

Gin looked at a piece of furniture covered by a white cloth, and knew that Kurosawa was faking the illusion that "the owner of the house was away on a long journey".

There were no fires or gas explosions, and the intact house would make anyone who followed it wonder if they were in the wrong place.

"You know this kind of trick is useless. It's the biggest abnormality if there are no traces." Gin said without emotion. He looks like a marble statue. From just now, he has faced Heisawa with this attitude .

This is the most common face of "Gin" in the organization - not everything can arouse Gin's interest.

Compared with fighting the FBI or planning large-scale operations, most of the tasks are actually trivial and boring. Gin has this kind of emotionless attitude towards these task goals and transaction partners.

After all, the task target will die soon, and the transaction object will become the task target at any time.

In other words, Gin tried to strip away the influence of emotions, and he instinctively looked at things from his most familiar and most indifferent perspective.

For this change, Kurosawa was not surprised at all.

He could close his eyes and know what Gin would do.

"Although the gift is a pleasant surprise, it also has shortcomings, which will attract a lot of flies."

Heise knocked on the door lock. He had just removed a mechanism from there. He didn't intend to install a trigger bomb on it. He said slowly, "I've lived here for three months, and I happen to know that there have been trespassers around here all the time. There are thieves wandering around the empty house, and a group of young people taking drugs in the empty house... I think three days is enough, after they are all gone, who can be sure that this house was really lived in by me What? As an aside, this method works especially well in the United States.”

Gin crossed his arms and said expressionlessly, "I'm not interested in how you play tricks on the FBI. We'll separate when we get the weapons and information I want. I don't want to know your new address either."

"can."

Kurosawa looked at Gin's back and said silently, "Wait until we all get what we want."
