Chapter 337 I found some suspicious points
The sports car quickly stopped in front of the villa. Youye leaned over to take a look and saw a raging fire bursting out of the garage. There were several people standing not far in front of the flames.
One of the women cried out "Haogui!" and tried to rush over, but was stopped by the other woman.
"Ena can't go over there, it's too dangerous!"
Yuya frowned and looked into the depths of the flames. He could vaguely see the outline of a car. If the explosion was really the antique car just now, with such a fierce fire, the people in the car might have...
"The 'Haogui' you are talking about, is it the person who drives an antique car?" Youye asked.
The woman who was stopping Hui Na looked over in surprise and saw that it was a young man and a young woman. She couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Who...who are you?"
Yuya said in a deep voice: "Just now I passed by this car when I was downstairs... and then I heard an explosion and found that this car logo flew down. I was worried that the antique car had exploded, so I came up to check the situation."
Youya showed them the car logo and didn't tell them that the antique car had suddenly honked its horn and scared them.
After all, the person driving the car is most likely already very experienced, so there is no point in fussing over the matter.
The result was just as Youya worried, it was the antique car that exploded, and the driver did not have time to escape and was burned to death.
The fire was so big that nothing could be done, and everyone could only stand there and wait for the police.
Soon, Inspector Yumio arrived.
Yuya is not familiar with him. Inspector Yuminaga is in charge of arson-related cases. The two do not have much interaction in normal times and are just acquaintances.
After investigating the scene, Inspector Gongchang found the cause of the fire.
The person who was burned to death was Zhou Tenghaogui.
The cause of the fire was that a plastic barrel of gasoline in the garage fell over and leaked. The deceased drove into the garage and got out of the car while smoking. The fire from the cigarette butt ignited the vaporized gasoline that filled the garage.
"We also found burnt cigarette butts in the garage. This seems to be what happened," said Inspector Yuminaga.
"How is this possible!" The crying woman didn't believe it. "He obviously quit smoking for me, how could this happen?"
Inspector Yumio looked at the woman in confusion: "Excuse me, who are you...?"
The woman did not answer, but covered her face and cried, looking very sad.
A man behind the woman stepped forward and said, "She is Zhou Teng's fiancée, her name is Yinlin Huina."
"We hold parties here every weekend, including tonight. Zhou Teng seemed to have something to announce, but I didn't expect something like this to happen..."
Yinlin Huina sobbed and said, "Haogui and I decided to get married. We had agreed to announce the good news in front of everyone, but, but, why did this happen! Wuwuwu..."
Inspector Yuminaga pondered and said, "Ah, the marriage application form that was not completely burned was found, so this should be correct. But the fact that he quit smoking is probably not correct."
"Huh?" Ginlin Ena looked up at Inspector Yuminaga in surprise, "What does this mean?"
Inspector Gong Chang said: "We found a lot of cigarette butts in the car. Beside the body, there were burnt cigarette butts and the deceased's briefcase, which contained unopened cigarettes and lighters."
Yinlin Huina was surprised: "How could this happen? I just told you not to smoke anymore..."
"Just now?" Inspector Gongchang caught a key word.
Yin Lin Hui Nai said: "About an hour ago, Hao Gui called and said he was on his way here. I reminded him not to smoke on the phone..."
The female companion next to him also echoed: "Yes, Hui Na also said on the phone that if he doesn't quit smoking, she will cancel the engagement... This is to remind him."
Inspector Gong Chang confirmed: "Was that call really from Mr. Zhou Teng?"
"Yes," the female companion said confidently, "I was the one who answered the call at the beginning, and I also talked to him before he hung up, so it's certain."
"I see," Inspector Gong Chang raised a finger and analyzed, "Mr. Zhou Teng not only did not quit smoking as agreed, but also used a plastic barrel that is not recommended for use to store gasoline, which led to the gasoline leak. It seems that this was an accident."
"It's all his own fault." Inspector Yuminaga said the last sentence in a low voice. After all, the deceased's fiancée was still here.
"Is that really the case?" Youya, who had been listening to the conversation quietly, suddenly spoke.
"Hmm?" Inspector Yuminaga looked at Yuya in confusion. He still had some patience for this famous detective in the Metropolitan Police Department, so he asked, "What do you mean, Kamiya-kun?"
Yuya walked over and first glanced around the burnt garage, then said, "If according to Inspector Yuminaga's statement, the fire was caused by the deceased smoking, then it means that he lit it shortly before getting out of the car, so why is there no such thing?"
Inspector Gongchang repeated subconsciously: "That?"
Yuya drew something with his hand: "Yes, the cigarettes have been opened!"
Inspector Yumio's expression became serious. He had not noticed this just now, and he hurriedly asked the forensic officer.
The answer we got was that no objects or residues resembling soap boxes were found in either the car or the garage.
"That's strange." Inspector Yumio said, touching his chin.
"Could it be the last one?" Ginbayashi Ena suddenly spoke. Seeing that Yuya and Inspector Yuminaga were looking at her, she was not too panicked.
She made a tentative guess: "He used to throw away empty cigarette boxes..."
When Inspector Gong Chang heard this, he thought it made sense and said, "That is to say, as long as we find a discarded cigarette box near the villa..."
Yinlin Huina said quickly: "Ah, maybe he must have lost it earlier. After all, he smoked without telling me, so it is possible that he threw away the cigarette box in advance, otherwise I would find out that he broke our agreement..."
Inspector Yumio frowned immediately: "If that's the case, then the search area is too large. There's a deep cliff below the mountain road..."
Yuya looked at Ginbayashi Ena with a deep gaze, turned around and looked at the garage again, his right hand involuntarily touching his chin.
Miyano Shiho took small steps towards Yuya and whispered, "What's wrong? Don't you think this is an accident?"
Youya nodded slightly: "There are a few doubts..."
"How many?" Miyano Shiho stared in surprise, "I found one myself, how many do you have now?"
Yuya smiled smugly, pinched her cheeks, and showed rare pride: "Otherwise, how could I be a famous detective?"
Miyano Shiho pursed her lips. She felt that compared to solving cases, perhaps making medicines in the laboratory was more suitable for her?
"Stupid, I don't want to stand behind and watch all the time. Sometimes I want to stand with you and solve the case..."
