Chapter 285 Farce
Chapter 285 Farce
Most of the people present were Sherlock Holmes fans. When they weren't blinded by greed, their sensitivity to the occurrence of cases was much higher than that of ordinary people. Based on what we had just learned, the facts were probably as Conan said.
Kento Toba, the man who is very likely the real culprit who killed Hiroyuki Kanaya, is preparing to use the same method he originally used to kill Toshiaki Fujisawa to kill his girlfriend.
Under normal circumstances, this method is extremely difficult to succeed with.
The human body is highly sensitive to gasoline, and the fact that it could cause an explosion precisely indicates the amount of gasoline in the air, something that even the most careless person would have noticed.
Unless this person has absolutely no common sense, they would find out and use the open flame of a lighter for illumination.
Because they were all quite enthusiastic Sherlock Holmes fans, they naturally valued the precious books more than anything else.
Once greed takes hold, a single-minded mind might subconsciously ignore the problems in its surroundings, and at that point, it might really be burned to ashes by an explosion or flames.
Akutagawa Hiko himself became secretly wary.
This kind of explosive action that starts from zero frames is something even he himself doesn't have a good way to deal with, unless he can raise his reaction speed to the level of some genius with a brilliant name.
Otherwise, there's a high probability that we'll have to tough it out.
Although with his current physical condition, he might not die, and even if he suffered some injuries, he would recover completely quickly, but he would still be somewhat disheveled.
"Sigh, knowing clues but not revealing them is just giving the real culprit a chance to strike, isn't it?"
Heiji Hattori casually remarked that some people who like to keep others in suspense and put themselves in danger are often unreasonable.
However, they are all key witnesses, so it's impossible to interrogate them like suspects. After all, they are detectives, not police officers, and their power is not as great as many people imagine.
Perhaps to vent his anger and fear, Fujisawa Toshiaki rolled up his sleeves and headed to the bathroom to cause trouble for Toba Kento.
Moreover, he also wanted to know why Kento Toba wanted to kill him and Hiroyuki Kanaya, since they had no connection before this Holmes trip.
If it was for the research on that book in blood, he already has it, so why would he continue killing? It doesn't make any sense.
The remaining people quickly followed, firstly to prevent a violent conflict from escalating and causing something irreparable to happen again, and secondly to prevent Ayako Oki from rushing to the garage to get herself killed after learning the location of the book.
Then, he prepared to subdue Kento Toba, and planned to call the police as soon as it was light to hand him over to the Metropolitan Police Department for arrest. After engaging in a dirty deal with his girlfriend, Kento Toba was preparing to return to the lobby to await the next steps of his flawless plan.
Although his plan to destroy all the evidence at once by sending Hiroyuki Kanaya's body and car to the bottom of the cliff was completely thwarted by a detective's perhaps outstanding combat skills and decisive attitude.
However, as long as Ayako Oki doesn't talk nonsense, even if Sherlock Holmes were alive, he wouldn't be able to directly identify her as the murderer.
Once Ayako is dead, he will have plenty of time to destroy the evidence she discovered, and his plan will naturally become flawless again.
Without evidence, what can the detective do even if he suspects him because of his brief time with Ayako?
only----
A flash of annoyance crossed Toba Kento's eyes. The hellfire he had originally prepared for another guy who had insulted his idol, Sherlock Holmes, was now being used against his girlfriend. How could this not be a pity?
Of course, what he regretted was not his girlfriend, but that he couldn't kill Fujisawa Toshiaki that way.
The thought that this attempt to eliminate the demons who tarnished the image of the great Sherlock Holmes would not only fail completely but also cost him a girlfriend filled Kento Toba with a nameless rage.
Another plan is forming in my mind.
In a rush, there is naturally no perfect plan as well as a meticulously designed one, but he no longer has the patience to wait for the next perfect opportunity. He must send Fujisawa Toshiaki to hell to meet Kanaya Hiroyuki today.
Kento Toba was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't immediately notice the anger on the face of the hastily arriving, menacing Toshiaki Fujisawa. He assumed the group was worried about their safety and sneered inwardly.
For his own acting skills, and for the pleasure of finally completing his revenge.
Kento Toba merely smiled, about to say something, when Toshiaki Fujisawa suddenly rushed out and grabbed him by the collar, abruptly breaking his speech—
Nonsence.
Toba Kento felt a burning pain in his right eye socket. His glasses had already flown off and disappeared. Then he was punched in the face, and his lip was cut.
Two powerful punches landed, turning Toba Kento's eyes purple and swelling his face badly.
Not only was Kento Toba stunned, but the others also did not expect Toshiaki Fujisawa to be so decisive as to start hitting people directly. They rushed over and separated the two who were wrestling.
Of course, the main purpose was to protect Fujisawa Toshiaki. As for Toba Kento, who killed someone and then tried to silence his girlfriend before continuing to kill, those two punches were obviously taken for nothing.
While it's unlikely that they would all give the same answer when questioned by the police: that he fell by himself, they would definitely ignore it if they weren't asked in detail.
Such a commotion naturally alerted Ayako Oki, who was struggling in the restroom between choosing the research book written in blood and her boyfriend, or choosing justice in her heart to bring her boyfriend to justice.
Seeing that Toba Kento was being attacked and was clearly at a disadvantage, being held back by two people while his opponent could move only one arm, he immediately made a sharp explosion and rushed into the battlefield.
After a truly horrific outburst, the situation gradually stabilized.
"What?! That's not how it works, is it? Say something, Kento Toba!!"
When Ayako Oki learned that the temptation of collusion that Kento Toba had thrown at her was actually another deadly trap, she was somewhat dazed, especially when the recording appeared, she clearly felt a sense of collapse.
Knowing that the situation was hopeless and that he might as well give up, Toba Kento didn't tolerate her. Just as he was about to slap her, Hattori Heiji grabbed his hand and forcefully pulled it back. After straightening his clothes, he snorted coldly.
He felt utter disgust towards the woman who discovered crucial evidence but instead of keeping it a secret, wanted to expose his girlfriend.
As if all her strength had been drained, Ayako Oki collapsed to the ground, covering her face with her hands. It was unclear whether she was sobbing because of Kento Toba's reaction or simply because she had narrowly escaped death.
