I Was Summon To The World Of Famous Detectives

Chapter 48 Searching for the fleeing Nishimoto Ken

The old inspector wanted to chase Nishimoto who escaped, but he looked back at the building that was on fire, gritted his teeth, dropped his bicycle, and rushed towards the inside of the house. Lin Yao was shocked when he saw this scene.

This greedy old man is willing to risk the danger and rush into the fire…

Sure enough, you can’t just look at the surface. There can also be a great soul under a despicable body.

Obviously, the old inspector gave up chasing Nishimoto because he saw that the fire was not very big now. If there were still people inside, he could rush in and rescue them. If he goes after Nishimoto now, it will be too late when he comes back.

Lin Yao didn’t stand idly by, he turned into a spirit body and followed the old inspector into the house. He didn’t take any action, but if the old inspector was in danger, he would still help.

…

“Mr. Kawashima!” The old patrol found Hideo Kawashima lying in a pool of blood. He saw the knife stuck in Kawashima’s chest and knew that Kawashima was dead.

That kid Nishimoto, killed Mr. Kawashima and set fire to the murder scene? no! I can’t let Mr. Kawashima’s body be destroyed! Even if Mr. Kawashima dies, as a police officer, I must take his body out!

The old inspector lifted Kawashima’s upper body and dragged him out with all his might, the smoke made him cough continuously. But he didn’t give up, dragged the body little by little, and finally brought the body to the open space before the flames completely engulfed the building.

After doing this, the old inspector seemed to have collapsed, lying on the ground and breathing heavily.

Lin Yao admired this and left the scene silently.

…

People arrived one after another, but the first ones to arrive were not Kogorou and the others who received the call, but the nearby residents because they saw the fire. Then Kogorou and his party arrived at the scene.

“Kawashima!” Seeing Kawashima with a knife in his chest, Heiyan was immediately enveloped in boundless fear.

Conan’s expression was extremely solemn. Kogorou grabbed a resident who was fighting the fire and asked anxiously, “What, what’s going on? Who killed Mr. Kawashima?”

“It’s Nishimoto, that’s what the patrol said. Don’t hold me, I have to put out the fire!” The resident broke free from Kogorou’s hand and continued to run to put out the fire.

At this time, Kogorou noticed that an old man was directing the firefighting. Judging by the clothes he was wearing, it should be a local inspection. So Kogorou walked over and asked, “Are you the patrol here? What the hell happened?”

The patrol did not know Kogorou, but when he saw that Kogorou came with the village head of Kuroiwa, he said to the village head: “The village head, it was Nishimoto who killed Mr. Kawashima. When I was patrolling, I saw that Mr. Kawashima’s house was on fire. Nishimoto was standing next to him with a gasoline can, and as soon as he saw me, he ran away on an electric bike.”

Kuroiwa Tatsuji was stunned, Nishimoto killed Kawashima? How can this be?

Others didn’t think it was impossible, but wondered why Nishimoto wanted to kill Kawashima?

“Destroy the body? Then why is Mr. Kawashima’s body outside?” Kogorou asked.

The old inspector replied: “I originally wanted to go after Nishimoto, but thinking that there might be people in the house, I rushed into the house to save people. As a result, Mr. Kawashima was killed, so I dragged his body outside.”

“Are you sure the murderer is Nishimoto?” Suddenly a voice came from behind, Kogorou’s eyebrows twitched twice, and he recognized the owner of the voice turned to ashes.

Xiaolan looked back and saw that it was Lin Yao, the girl with brown hair, Haibara Ai, was also with him.

“It’s absolutely true! I know everyone in the village. At that time, it was Ken Nishimoto who was standing at the door with a gasoline can!” The old inspector replied in an unquestionable tone.

Conan noticed that there was a plastic bucket next to him, so he leaned over and sniffed at the mouth of the bottle, then raised his head and shouted, “Uncle, it doesn’t seem like the stuff inside is not gasoline, but alcohol!”

Kogorou squatted down and sniffed when he heard the words, “It really smells of wine, but why is it so pungent?”

“It’s probably denatured alcohol. Like gasoline and kerosene, it can be used for ignition.” Lin Yao said and asked the inspector, “Did you find any clues in the house when you entered?”

“Clues? I didn’t find anything worth noting…” The inspector recalled, and suddenly remembered one thing. “Oh, by the way, Mr. Kawashima’s mobile phone was placed next to the corpse, as if it was playing music…”

“Play music? Is it this song?” Lin Yao played Moonlight Song on his mobile phone.

The inspector’s eyes lit up, “That’s right! It’s this song, but…it seems a little different.”

“It’s the right key. The first movement of the Moonlight Sonata has many different styles played by different musicians. This is just one of them.” Lin Yao turned off the music after confirming.

Kuroiwa Village Chief’s body was shaking.

What exactly is going on? Nishimoto killed Kawashima, then called me with Kawashima’s cell phone and asked me to listen to the Moonlight Song?

“Mr. Kuroiwa, do you know Nishimoto’s number? Try calling.” Kogorou ordered.

The village head of Kuroiwa reacted, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to call Nishimoto Ken, but the result was that the other party was turned off.

Hirata Kazuaki, the secretary of the village chief, was also among the crowd who arrived one after another. He heard the whole story and couldn’t help shouting in horror, “It’s Keiji Aso! Ken Nishimoto was possessed by Keiji Aso!”

Kogorou couldn’t help spraying his face, “With your stature! He’s just playing tricks!”

…

In the second half of the night, the fire brigade took over the firefighting operation. The villagers spontaneously organized teams to search for Ken Nishimoto’s whereabouts. It was only until dawn that although the fire was extinguished, no one could find any trace of Ken Nishimoto.

The police from the Metropolitan Police Department also arrived at Moon Shadow Island by helicopter, and they also failed to find Ken Nishimoto.

However, no one is surprised by this result, because most of the island is covered by forests. As long as you hide in the forest, it is difficult to find the other party without a carpet search.

Lin Yao didn’t participate in the search operation last night and went back to sleep early. The room between him and Xiao Ai is a double room, or the kind with two beds, so sleeping is just a literal meaning, after all, his relationship with Xiao Ai is still very strange.

Besides, Xiao Ai’s body has become smaller now, so nothing can happen to the two of them.

“Sorry for waking you up.” Lin Yao apologized to Xiao Ai and explained, “I just went out to inquire about the situation.”

Xiao Ai rubbed her eyes, then stretched out, “It’s okay, I was about to wake up. How did you sleep last night?”

“Very good, what’s wrong?” Probably because Xiao Ai became a child, so Lin Yao didn’t have the embarrassment of staying in Shiho’s room at first, and fell asleep naturally.

“I just feel that I really think of you as a brother.” Xiao Ai replied.

Lin Yao thought for a while and asked, “Just brother?”

“Crap, I’m speaking now as Haibara Ai.”

“What about Miyano Shiho?”

“I don’t know, you ask her yourself.” Xiao Ai chose to avoid talking about it. *
