Chapter 88 The fire is extinguished
Not only would it not work, it could even cost you your life, which would be terrible.
He used his special skill again, kicking the soccer ball forcefully and easily extinguishing the flames along the way.
How terrifying!
Su Xingbai couldn't help but feel relieved, saying, "It's a good thing I only came out after seeing him die, otherwise Conan would have really rescued me, and that would have been terrible."
Conan used the soccer ball as a springboard to rush into the villa and land on the sofa.
The figure on the sofa was no longer recognizable, let alone the clothes, which were the first things to burn away.
Conan was at a loss for what to do. The fire on the corpse, fueled by the gasoline, made it impossible for him to get close.
They could only watch helplessly as the corpse slowly burned, unable to do anything about it.
"jump."
The gasoline can next to Yusaku Kudo's body exploded, and the powerful impact sent Conan flying out the door unharmed.
Conan was stunned by the impact and it took him a while to recover. He stared at the burning villa, his heart filled with resentment and anger.
He took out his phone and called Yusaku Kudo, but there was no response for a long time. Now he began to suspect that the corpse in the villa was Yusaku Kudo.
At this moment, the fire truck and the police search team arrived at the scene.
Fire trucks were put out to extinguish the fire first, while officers from the Public Security Investigation Division approached Conan to inquire about what had happened. Conan, suppressing his grief, recounted everything he had witnessed.
The person from the investigation department was an old acquaintance, Inspector Megure asked solemnly, bowing his head.
"Conan, you said that after you went inside the house, you found a corpse inside?"
Conan, fighting back tears, sobbed softly, "Yes, Uncle Yusaku Kudo told me before he came back, which is why I came here to visit him." As he spoke, he took out his phone and showed it to Megure, revealing a text message.
Megure looked at the text message, nodded. The message was simple and clear. After returning the phone to Conan, he watched as the fire in the villa was gradually extinguished.
More than an hour later.
With the strong attack of four fire trucks, all the fire in the villa was finally extinguished.
However, the villa had long been burned beyond recognition, with black ash everywhere.
After the fire was extinguished, everyone began searching for clues inside, and also looking for the corpse that Conan had mentioned.
Upon entering the house, a large amount of black ash was swept away from the path, and we gradually explored to the original location of the sofa.
A charred corpse was laid out before them. After Inspector Megure examined it, he ordered the body to be taken back for further examination.
Let's see if the body really belongs to Yusaku Kudo. If it really is Yusaku Kudo, then that would be big news.
Yusaku Kudo has quite a few fans, so there will be a lot of trouble later.
Inspector Megure took the body back first. Conan originally wanted to stay and wait to see if there would be any new discoveries, but he was more interested in finding out who the body belonged to, so he went back with Inspector Megure.
Although the leader has returned, the operation here is not over yet; they are still searching the area.
With one body in mind, there was a possibility of a second one, and they continued their slow search with that thought in mind.
Back at the police station, the forensic pathologist quickly began the examination. Conan waited anxiously nearby, his eyes fixed on the door of the examination room. Several hours passed before the door finally opened, and the forensic pathologist walked out with a serious expression.
"How is it?" Inspector Megure asked anxiously.
"Based on preliminary assessment, the deceased is confirmed to be Mr. Yusaku Kudo." Upon hearing this, Conan gasped, but at the same time, doubts welled up in his mind.
Few people knew that Yusaku Kudo had returned. Apart from him and Professor Agasa, the news had not been leaked. How could he have been murdered?
Professor Agasa took the Detective Boys and Ai Haibara out for a day trip, so he had no time or motive to commit the crime.
Sudden.
Conan thought of the person who had been living in the house and impersonating him, as well as his mother, Yukiko, both of whom had now disappeared.
The reason Kudo Yusaku returned was because of those two people; it must have been those two who did it.
Conan couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment, resenting Yukiko's ruthlessness for actually treating Yusaku Kudo with such cruelty.
Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but this kind of death, with no complete body, is beyond repair.
Conan quickly pressed the forensic doctor, "Doctor, does Uncle Yusaku have any wounds or gunshot wounds?"
The forensic doctor shook his head and said, "No, and according to our examination, Kudo Yusaku died before the fire, before the villa burned down. No smoke inhalation was found in his lungs or throat, and no wounds or traces of poison were found. Therefore, we currently suspect that Kudo Yusaku committed suicide."
impossible.
This is impossible!
How could his father commit suicide? Even if he did, he would have left no trace. He didn't believe it.
Conan thought about it carefully. There were no wounds, no signs of poisoning. Could it be...?
APTX4869?!
Conan thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible. If it were APTX4869, it could indeed cause death without leaving a trace. But he immediately dismissed the idea. How could his father have gotten his hands on that kind of drug?
No, the person impersonating him is very likely a member of the Black Organization, so it's not surprising that he has APTX4869.
If he really was the one who did it, what role did his mother, Yukiko, play in it?
With this in mind, he decided to ask Professor Agasa for help, as he couldn't manage on his own.
Conan decided to find the person impersonating him first. He re-examined the clues and recalled some subtle details; the person seemed extremely familiar with the layout of the house.
Conan went to Professor Agasa's house and voiced his suspicions. Professor Agasa was shocked and offered to help in any way he could.
"It's all our fault. We shouldn't have been so reckless as to call Yusaku back. He was so careless. We clearly warned him that there was great danger, why didn't we wait for more people to go together?"
Conan shook his head bitterly and said, "My father sent me a text message before he left. I rushed over here after receiving it, but it was too late when I got here. The villa was burned beyond recognition."
"If what you say is true, this behavior could indeed be an organizational tactic, ever since APTX4869 came into existence."
