Chapter 953 The Suspect Appears
Everyone rushed back to the temporary command post.
Because there was only one fire rescue team in the venue, and it had been transferred to put out the fire in the Indian Pavilion, the group of people at the command post could only watch helplessly as the flames engulfed the small building.
A stingy fat yellow guy who had provided the group with a hole in the wall when they were escaping from the fire, now took out a toy fire truck and was trying in vain to spray a stream of water as thick as a finger towards the raging fire, as if it was a joke.
It cannot be said that it has no effect at all. Water flows into the fire scene and turns into steam, making the already scorching air even hotter.
Kogoro Mouri and Conan surrounded Xiaolan and Hattori Heiji and stared at Kazuha, concerned about whether they were injured or not. In fact, because the discovery was made in time, both Xiaolan and the others as well as the police officers who were resting at the command post at the time were all unharmed.
The fire caused only one building, some police equipment and a large amount of police documents.
"The fire in the Indian Pavilion, the crash of the flying car and the fire here should all be caused by the same criminal..." Hattori Heizo's face was as dark as Hattori Heiji: "This criminal has a strong execution ability."
It is very dangerous to fight against such a criminal who dares to attack the police, and you have to race against time, otherwise you will be slower than the criminal in everything. Even by the time you discover the criminal's identity, the criminal has already fled abroad and disappeared.
Martin pulled out a barbecue grill and some raw skewers from somewhere, found a location suitable for the fire, put up the grill, and started grilling the skewers.
Ma Wu came up to him and reached out to poke Martin's body, which was gurgling like nuclear waste water: "Brother... have I gotten into trouble again?"
When Martin was in Hogwarts, he was basically a wretch, and there was an average of one fire a day around Ma Wu. Then, less than ten minutes after Martin and Ma Wu separated, another fire broke out, and Ma Wu thought it was his fault.
"It has nothing to do with you. The fire was set on purpose. If you have to blame someone, the great detective is more responsible than you." Martin comforted casually.
However, it is true that the fire was set by the criminal, but when the flames were discovered by everyone, the changes in the fire's intensity were more than just that.
Conan happened to come over at this time and heard Martin's words. Or Martin saw Conan coming and said that.
"By the way, how do you know there's a fire here?" Conan asked.
After leaving Doraemon, all their cell phones had no signal, and they had to rely on the police radio in Hattori Heizo's hand for communication. However, Martin's reminder of the fire was faster than the report from the police radio.
"I installed surveillance cameras here." Martin said with his hands on his hips, somewhat proudly. Partly because he felt that the previous fire was a bit strange, and partly to keep an eye on Ma Wu to see if he got into trouble.
"When? Ah!" Conan was a little surprised, and what was even more surprising was that as Martin waved his hand, a 'surveillance' that was roasted in the flames, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrant smell, jumped out of the flames.
It was not until Martin picked up the burnt ball and put it on his head that Conan realized it was one of the eyes of the mascot Martin. The so-called surveillance was to leave one of his eyes at the scene! ?
The normal appearance of the mascot is five eyes on the front. After Martin caught the flying car, he also wiped out Ma Wu's influence on himself, but there are four eyes on the front, and it is only complete with this one.
Conan expectedly: "Did you see the arsonist?"
"Theoretically, I have seen it." Martin was playing a word game: "After all, the plot has been pushed to this point. It would be a bad movie if the suspect has not appeared yet."
"Hello..."
"Okay." Martin adjusted his body, and the 'butt eye' that was originally on his butt first shrank back into the blue body, and then ran to his head, and the burnt eye on his head also shrank back and then appeared on his butt.
Then, the 'monitor' on the buttocks emitted another strong light, and the light hit the opposite wall and a pattern appeared - this was a projection!
Conan saw Martin projecting the 'surveillance footage' of the corridor on the wall and couldn't help but complain: "Why haven't I heard that the mascot of the World Expo has so many functions?"
"That's because your propaganda doesn't know how to play." Martin recalled: "The mascot of the Shanghai World Expo was so powerful, also a water elf. No matter what problem it encountered, it could be solved by shouting 'Haibao is coming' while emitting Haibao light waves."
"Can it put out fires?" Conan muttered as he turned around and looked at the surveillance projection carefully.
When others like Hattori Heizo saw the projection, although they didn't understand where the projection came from, they all gathered around and stared at the projection.
Martin placed the eye at the door, and the first thing on the surveillance screen was naturally its own back as it left. Less than two minutes later, a person entered the command post, and he was an acquaintance of the group.
"Isn't this the accounting director?" Kogoro Mouri recognized the accounting director of the World Expo Association, Kiyoshi Denpiao. After all, he had chatted with this person for a long time in the morning.
Sera Masumi pinched his chin and said, "Could it be that the police took his account book? So he is willing to set fire to it to get it back?"
"Is he the criminal?"
Before everyone's speculation was over, another sneaky figure appeared in the picture. It was a construction worker wearing a hard hat. Because of the hard hat, his face could not be seen at first. The worker was only seen standing outside the door, looking into the room sneakily, and walked in after confirming that there was no one inside.
But soon the workers hid in the corner because Qing Sandianpiao had already come out.
Qing Sandianpiao seemed to be afraid of being discovered, so he walked out in a hurry and did not see the worker hiding in the corner.
After Qing Sandianpiao left, the worker breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and then raised his head and met Martin's "surveillance camera" head-on. He was startled by an eye staring at him from the corner of the wall.
At the same time, everyone watching the surveillance camera finally saw the worker's face.
"Eh!?" Seeing the bearded, thin, and somewhat old face, the detectives were surprised again. It turned out to be another acquaintance: "Isn't this the old man we met when we first entered the scene?"
"You know him too?" Hattori Heizo was surprised.
Hattori Heiji briefly explained that when they just entered the venue, Maori Kogoro wanted to smoke, and Hattori Heiji reminded him to be careful of detonating methane. Then the passing uncle told them that the Suzuki Group had installed a device in the venue to extract methane for power generation, and Maori Kogoro could smoke without worry.
"And it's so strange." Conan added: "Whether it was the previous time I met this old man or in the... surveillance footage, his right hand was always in his pocket and he didn't take it out."
"Right hand...methane..." Putting the two key words together, Hattori Heizo recalled a piece of news: "I remember that there were several methane explosions during the construction of the venue. One of the more serious explosions severely burned the right hand of a welder."
At the same time, Hattori Heizo also looked at Governor Kubo to confirm each other. As high-ranking officials, they should be aware of these important events even if they are not responsible for handling them.
Conan immediately took out his mobile phone and found a signal near Doraemon's built-in mobile base station, and searched for relevant news on the Internet.
"It's him!" Conan found a photo of an accident worker receiving medical treatment in the hospital. Although his eyes were blurred, he could still recognize that it was the old worker who just appeared on the screen. The caption said that his right hand was severely burned, and in order to prevent infection, the doctor sewed his right hand into his stomach.
So he could only cover it up by putting his hands in his pockets!
Maori Kogoro looked at the news Conan showed him and hadn't reacted yet: "You're injured like this and you still want to come back to work?"
"How is that possible!" Hattori Heiji refuted: "He clearly pretended to be a worker and sneaked into the venue! He must have done this for a purpose!"
Sera Masumi's guess was consistent with everyone's thoughts: "Could it be that he launched an assassination operation against high-ranking officials in order to avenge his right hand that was taken away?"
While the detectives were watching the surveillance and discussing, Martin was grilling skewers with his back to everyone, while Miyano Akemi walked over with her hands behind her back and joked, "Hey, how can you grill skewers here? Do you have a business license?"
Martin rolled his tongue: "Know? What do you know?"
Miyano Akemi: "Business license!"
Martin: "Should know? What should I know?"
Miyano Akemi: "I'm not talking about knowing, or should have known, and I'm not talking about a business license."
Martin: What is that?
Miyano Akemi: "I said... I don't know either." (End of this chapter)
