Chapter 728 - Corpse Incineration
About three minutes later, the inside of the car that had exploded had begun to burn in the parking lot, and although it had begun to rain outside about an hour earlier, and there were no open flames on the roof or other areas that could have been covered by rain, the inside of the car that had just exploded had begun to burn - the burning site was clearly inside the body, and there was not much rain could do.
There were six people present, Gregory, Fujiwara, and the Maori couple, the groom accompanied Yorita, and the last one ...... It was a burning corpse lying in front of everyone in front of the gas filling holes of the car.
"......" Grigory, who was protected by Fujiwara's umbrella, narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the raging fire in front of him. This...... It's hopeless. ”
"This is Hatsune's car, how can this be......" After hearing Gregory's judgment, the groom seemed to lose all his spirit in an instant, and immediately wanted to pounce on the body that was burned by the flames.
"Calm down!" Mori Kogoro reacted quickly and immediately grabbed him, but Gregory, who was next to him, reacted faster and subdued the groom with a steady and hard blow from his cane. "It's probably just a car thief, you calm down first, if you just pounce on it, what will the bride-to-be do when she comes back?"
With that, Gregory gave Fujiwara a look and motioned for him to take the groom back to the shop to rest. In this way, only the Maori couple and Gregory were left on the scene.
"It doesn't look like there's much we can do." Fei Yingli touched her wet shoulders - when Maori Kogoro rushed out to subdue the groom just now, she subconsciously sent the umbrella to the top of Maori Kogoro's head, but she was a little wet because she was not completely covered - looked in the direction of the flame and said to Maori Kogoro. "Didn't those young men bring the fire extinguisher yet?"
"They'd better hurry up and bring the stuff over, or Miss Kamen Hatsune won't have anything left." Gregory glanced in the direction of the restaurant's door, and sure enough, the staff of the shop were running with fire extinguishers. "But I need to get a shot first, these fire extinguishers may not be enough."
"Are you sure this is the bride?" Fei Yingli frowned slightly. "This burns out of human form, huh?"
"Her shoes were recommended to her, did you see that—" said Grigory, pointing to the two pieces of the corpse's footsteps. "That's the tip insert of that particular heel, so the flames can't reach the melting point of this thing."
……
At the same time, the restaurant on the second floor.
The bachelorette party had come to an emergency halt, and the participants had gathered in front of the second-floor windows, chatting uneasily. And in front of a window where the viewing conditions are not good, but it is remote enough, Hotaru and Chiba are sitting there.
"No, this is impossible, the phone call was indeed made to him by the other party, and this will not be fake." Chiba shook her head and vetoed Hotaru's guess. "I'm a very strong hacker, I can still confirm that. Of course, I can't do anything about tasks like confirming the content of the conversation. ”
Well, of course, Chiba has the ability to eavesdrop on the phone by taking over the communication relay rights, but that's limited to instant calls. If there is no deliberate takeover at all, and the records can only be queried afterwards, it is impossible for even the auxiliary unit to reproduce the content that has disappeared.
"But it's still weird," Hotaru didn't dispel her concerns. "If you are an ordinary person, you should not deduce from the explosion of a car so quickly that 'your wife's car must have exploded, and your wife must have been next to the car and was blown up.'"
"This is indeed suspicious," Chiba agreed with Hotaru. "So, sister, didn't you just let Gregory pay attention?"
"Yes, but in any case, the body has also been completely destroyed, and it is difficult to extract evidence of a potential murderer." Hotaru shook her head. "Even the sleeping Kogoro and the undefeated Queen of Law can't be powerful in such a situation, right?"
The strength of the detective lies in the individual's flexibility and the ability to identify traces through rich experience, and if the evidence at the scene is highly destroyed, the detective does not even have the basic skeleton to construct the castle in the sky, let alone give correct inferences.
However, although it is impossible to know exactly what happened, Qian Yu seems to have a clue in his hand - the mobile phone that was talking to the groom had just received a call from a landline before calling the groom.
……
About forty minutes later.
"Why are you here?" These were Officer Twilight's first words when he saw Kogoro Mori.
"The Dead...... To be precise, the owner of this burning car is my classmate's fiancée," Kogoro Mori gestured to the restaurant behind him. "I'm not sure, but I think the deceased must be this Hatsune Kamen-sama."
"Yes," Grigory, standing next to the corpse that had been extinguished by the flames, checking something with a flashlight, joined the conversation. "The bodies have been badly incinerated, and even if they are not suicides but murders, all traces of them have been destroyed."
"Why are you here?" Officer Twilight was dumbfounded. "You...... You can't be their classmate, right? ”
"I am an old friend of the deceased," replied Grigory with a calm face. "Not to mention that, from the traces of the scene, it looks like an incineration caused by the fire source close to the gasoline filling hole. In a sense, it's like an accident. ”
"But it is possible that it was not an accident, but a suicide, because the companion was ...... That is, the fiancé said that the deceased had called him before the explosion and said goodbye to him. Mori Kogoro spread his hands. Of course, this is also difficult to explain, after all, we are going to get married tomorrow, and there is no reason to choose suicide now. ”
"So, if it was a murder, it must have been done by someone who didn't know she was going to marry tomorrow, but the problem is that if it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, there was no reason not to know about it." Fei Yingli said with a calm face. "If you extrapolate from this philosophy...... Indiscriminate murder? ”
"It's too ostentatious to murder indiscriminately—" As he said this, Gregory's cell phone suddenly rang, so he barely controlled the crutches and umbrella with the same hand, took out the phone with the other hand, and looked at the text message. "If I were a murderer, I would never have set up a car, that would be too ostentatious and it would be inconvenient to escape. Even if it was detonated prematurely with a detonating device, it would be difficult to explain why Mr. Banba heard Miss Garmen's goodbye before the explosion. If it is recorded in advance, this does not match the characteristics of indiscriminate living crimes......"
At this point, Grigory suddenly raised an eyebrow, then put away his phone. "I'm sorry, I need to go to the bathroom, you guys should do the work first."
