"Come on, uncle, let the old driver Xier take you out to explore!"
Xier patted Uncle Maori's shoulder very rudely.
"Are you really okay?"
Uncle Maori didn't quite believe Xier. Although the driver's license was there, Xier's appearance really made him feel uneasy.
"Just wait and see! I can turn a tractor into an AE86!"
With that, the two of them walked out the door, leaving Xiaolan alone at home to look after the house.
Thinking back to Xier's words, Xiaolan always felt that something was wrong. It was not until the two of them went out that Xiaolan suddenly remembered.
"Hey! Isn't ae86 a racing car!!!"
Chapter 3: Hurricane!
"Uncle, please wait a moment..."
As soon as she walked out of the building, Xier raised her hand to signal Maori Kogoro to wait a moment, then took out a car key from her arms and gently pressed the position of the tavern.
"Hmm? I have a car, just drive mine..."
Uncle Maori looked at Xier in confusion and took out his car keys. This was the car he had rented for a commission and it was not due to be returned yet.
"That won't do. Uncle Maori's car is borrowed. It would be terrible if I broke it down."
Xier said with her arms folded, and just as Maori was about to say something, the sound of mechanical movement interrupted his words.
"Buzz!"
A rough engine sound came from the garage behind the tavern. The garage door slowly lowered, and a pitch-black sports car was roaring in the garage. Then a flash of light appeared at the lathe, and the unmanned sports car drove out automatically, turned a beautiful turn, and stopped in front of Xier and Maori Kogoro.
"This is!!!"
Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened as he stared. He loved cars very much, but for various reasons he couldn't have a car of his own. However, this did not affect his love for cars at all. He knew almost all the car models from major companies. However, when this car appeared, Mouri suddenly felt that the sports cars he had seen before were so low-end!
The all-black color makes the whole car look aggressive. The headlights are different from other cars. The headlights of this car are located in the front of the car, but the texture of the light shows that this car is very valuable. The windows are not ordinary glass but are almost the same color as the car body, which makes people wonder whether they can see outside when sitting inside. However, this unusual configuration makes the whole car look very smooth and integrated.
“This is my favorite car…”
Xi'er twirled the car key with her fingers and said complacently, "Her name is The Sword in the Stone. How about it? It's pretty, isn't it?"
"This is really..."
Mao Li was finally enlightened. He had never seen this car, let alone heard of it. But he knew that it must be very expensive. He didn't expect that this neighbor who he saw every day was so rich...
"Let's go, this kid can't wait..."
Xier said as she opened the car door. As expected, the door was an extremely avant-garde scissor-style.
"Oh well……"
It seemed that Maori had not recovered from the shock of the car yet. This sense of technology that surpassed his time almost made Maori dumbfounded. He sat in the car in a daze. At this time, Maori Kogoro was like Liu Laolao.
"Fasten your seat belts!"
Xier kindly reminded, because it’s time for the performance next!
As I inserted the key into the car, a pleasant mechanical female voice sounded.
"Calibur, Setup. Good condition, Engine on, Exterior gear on, welcome, my master!"
As a few English words were spoken, the originally black car windows suddenly became transparent, and the 360-degree view outside the window could be clearly seen without any blind spots.
Maori watched all this numbly, he was completely speechless.
"Let's go!"
Xier licked her lips and stepped on the accelerator.
"Buzz!"
In just 1 second, the Sword in the Stone accelerated to 100km/h. The strong push on the back directly pressed Maori's entire body onto the table and chair, but the soft backrest perfectly cushioned this strong force, allowing people to enjoy the pleasure safely.
Like a black sword, the Sword in the Stone turned into a stream of light and left the neighborhood.
--------------
"Where is Officer Megure now?"
Xier asked while looking straight ahead.
"Ah? Ah... The place where we drank before was near the Mika Hospital. Turn left and go 200 meters from the hospital."
Mao Li was stunned for a moment and then answered. Looking at the other vehicles quickly retreating outside the window, Mao Li felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.
"Okay! The Excalibur navigation system is activated. Mark out the shortest path."
"Yes, Master. Turn left 100 meters ahead and enter the main road..."
The intelligent AI in the Sword in the Stone clearly marks everything on the road, and a clear route is displayed on the front window.
In the crowded traffic, a black car was moving very smoothly, with no sign of being stuck in traffic. It seemed to be able to predict the future and avoid other vehicles, accurately standing out from the traffic.
"call!"
As if riding the strong wind, the Sword in the Stone rushed towards its destination.
At this time, less than ten minutes had passed since Inspector Megure called Uncle Mori.
At this time at the crime scene, Inspector Megure was also busy. After all, an explosion case was not comparable to a murder case. If the murderer could not be caught in time, the next explosion location would not be solved by the death of one or two people.
"How about it?"
Inspector Megure looked seriously at his subordinates who had just searched the ruins.
"Nothing was found. Almost everything was destroyed. The explosive was initially inferred to be ammonium nitrate, but because the destruction was too thorough, the specific explosion fragments have not been found yet..."
Officer Takagi, dressed in brown, reported his findings.
"Sato, what about you?"
"Inspector, there are three dead including the pub owner. Since it is not yet business hours, there are not many people left in the store..." Officer Sato reported while enduring the unpleasant smell of the ruins.
"A blessing in disguise..."
Inspector Megure pressed his hat down with a serious expression. Although he said so, he did not think so in his heart. The daring criminal actually dared to commit a crime in broad daylight and killed three innocent people. This was a heinous crime!
"police officer!"
Officer Chiba, who was in charge of the inspection, came to Officer Megure with a burnt black object and said, "This should be the carrier of the explosive, but because it was burned too much, there is not much information left to collect."
"Take it to the laboratory and make sure to find useful information as soon as possible."
Inspector Megure said calmly, but his clenched fists showed that he was not calm.
The reason is simple. Although this is a pub, it is located next to the Mihua Hospital. If the power of the explosion is greater, it will affect the nearby hospital, and the number of casualties will not be just a few.
And precisely because of this, the superiors issued an order requiring Inspector Megure to solve the case within a week.
"How's the suspect's contact going?"
"We have basically contacted them all. There were only four people who entered and left the bar within three hours before the explosion. Apart from Maori Kogoro, we have also contacted the other three people."
Takagi said as he flipped through the case records.
"I will question them personally once everyone is here."
Inspector Megure sighed and looked at the familiar name among the suspects. Although he knew that this person could not be the criminal, he could only follow the rules.
"Buzz!"
Speak of the devil and he will appear. A deafening engine roar sounded, and the Excalibur did a beautiful tailspin and stopped outside the cordon next to the tavern.
"Officer Megure!"
Kogoro Mouri hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards Inspector Megure who was standing beside him.
"Brother Mori...you're here," Inspector Megure greeted him.
"How is the case going?" Mao Li asked solemnly. He had been a policeman before and knew the seriousness of this kind of case, so he rushed over as soon as possible. However, he was still stunned when he saw the almost completely shattered ruins at the scene.
"The initial inference is that it was premeditated murder. There were three victims, but their identities are unknown."
Officer Megure sighed and said that although he should not tell the suspect such details, Mori's reputation still made him reveal a little. Moreover, Mori was a detective, and Officer Megure also wanted to ask him for help after eliminating his suspicion. Although this might embarrass the police, catching the criminal is his first priority. Reputation is not as important as people's safety.
"That's it..."
Kogoro Mouri stood beside Inspector Megure, resting his chin on his hand and thinking, but he couldn't think of anything as there were too few clues.
(Hmm? Interesting!)
Xier, who was standing aside curiously, suddenly felt a strange gaze, as if someone was peeping at her with bad intentions. However, since the malice was not directed at Xier, Xier could not find the source of the gaze. But anyone who could send out such a gaze at this time is usually not a good person, and might be the criminal himself.
(How dare you bring it with you on the scene? You must be very brave!)
Xier suddenly became interested in the prisoner. She wanted to know what courage this guy had to stay here.
(Then it’s okay for me to get involved!)
Xier licked her lips, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
Chapter 4: Classic Three Choices (Choose a Ghost!)
Everyone was anxiously waiting for the suspects to arrive. Finally, half an hour later, all four suspects, including Maori Kogoro, arrived. And Xier was also quietly waiting for the suspects to show up.
"It looks like they've all arrived..."
Inspector Megure glanced at the other three people who arrived at the scene, two men and one woman. These were the few people who entered and left the pub in the three hours before the explosion. To be more precise, they were the ones who came out. The rest who did not come out had turned into charcoal.
"Ah! What happened here!"
The tall and thin man stared in amazement at the tavern that had turned into ruins. The rest of the people had similar expressions, after all, they had been drinking here not long ago.
"There was an explosion here. The explosive was ammonium nitrate, and you were the only ones who left the bar before the explosion."
Inspector Megure said seriously.
"Ah this..."
The three of them looked at each other. They all understood what Inspector Megure meant, but no one wanted to take the blame if something like this happened to them.
"Inspector Megure, what is the progress of the case?"
Mao Li asked from the side, he also wanted to know more details.
"All right……"
Officer Megure pressed his hat and said, "Preliminary inference is that the case occurred at 3 pm. The victims are the store owner, his wife, and a waiter. The cause of death was the explosion, and based on the degree of burnt bodies, it can be determined that the three were very close to the explosive, which means that the three were directly facing the explosion. In this case, it can be preliminarily inferred that it was homicide."
Inspector Megure told his subordinates the conclusion that they had reached after working for a long time.
"It's not me! It's definitely not me! I just came here to have a drink!"
The other thin man quickly denied it, looking very panicked.
"It's not me! I just came to take a look, really!"
The woman also answered quickly, her face pale.
"Quiet, quiet!"
Inspector Megure looked at the noisy people in distress and tried to comfort them with a headache.
"You are just suspects. Just eliminate the suspicion. Now tell me what happened to each of you."
"This……"
The three of them looked at each other, and finally the tall and thin man spoke first: "Let me tell you first. I came in around 1 o'clock to meet a client. I ordered a double portion of wine at the bar and sat there waiting. But after waiting for an hour, the client still didn't come. I was very angry, so I drank the wine in the glass in one breath, and then I left."
“I came here around 1 o’clock, too.”
Another man continued: "I just came here to drink. I usually come here at this time of the week to have a glass of wine and then go back to sleep."
"What time did you leave?" asked Officer Takagi, who was in charge of recording.
"Ah... about 2:... I went home after that."
"Okay. What about you ma'am?"
"Ah~ I..."
The woman hesitated awkwardly, then gritted her teeth and said, "I'm here to catch him cheating! Because my husband often said he was drinking with clients, but I saw him walking with a strange woman, so I suspected he was cheating, and then I came to this bar he often visited to see if it was true."
