Chapter 706 The Groom Becomes a Suspect

Takagi Wataru had some doubts: "But Mr. Banba, did you decide to marry Miss Hatsune even though you knew she was seeing other men? Wouldn't you normally confirm it with her?"

Banba Laitai sighed and said, "Because the detective I hired said that the two of them haven't met since then, so... and if she knew that I hired a detective to investigate her, she would definitely hate me!"

"After all, our relationship has become so close that we even told each other that we are adopted children."

Maori Kogoro suddenly realized, "I see, you mean this incident when you say we are in the same situation?" At the same time, he blamed Banba Raita with dissatisfaction, "If you hired me, I would be able to tell at a glance that this frivolous man is a detective."

The host Lai Tai immediately said, "How can I ask you to do this? You are so famous, everyone knows your face, and I will introduce you to each other later."

"But," Maori Kogoro said with a sigh, "If you had hired me, maybe Hatsune wouldn't have committed suicide in the car. It must be because this man called and told her everything about your conversations and laughs with other people, right?"

Amuro Toru repeatedly waved his hands to deny: "I didn't make that kind of call! Besides, he was just drunk and joking with other women. Even if I called her and told her, it would be a bit too much to make her commit suicide..."

"Speaking of phone calls," Inspector Megure suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Banba, it seems that you spoke to the deceased before the car caught fire, and heard her say that she wanted to commit suicide?"

"Ah? Yes," the host was stunned for a moment, then said affirmatively, "She cried and said goodbye..."

"I see." Inspector Megure nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Banchang Lai Tai quickly took out his cell phone and opened the call record. "If you don't believe it, there is still a call record with her on the phone. Look, it was at 8:54 p.m."

"Let me see." Inspector Megure took the phone and checked the call records, but did not find any calls to the police. He asked Takagi Wataru in confusion, "When was the call to the police?"

Takagi Shigeru glanced at the notepad and replied, "It's 9:21 p.m."

Inspector Megure frowned and asked Banba Raita: "What's the matter with the 30-minute gap?"

"Well," Mao Lilan raised her hand and said, "I was the one who called the police. Because I called the ambulance and fire truck before calling the police, it took a little time."

"Also, by the time the ambulance and fire truck arrived, the fire in the car had already reached a point where it could not be saved..."

"But it's strange," Conan suddenly interrupted, "Generally speaking, the seats of cars are made of non-flammable materials, right? Why did it burn like that?"

"Oh, yes," Mao Lilan remembered something, "I also heard an explosion at that time..."

Takagi said: "It was probably because of the spray paint cans? There were a lot of cardboard, paper and spray paint cans in the car, and those things fueled the fire."

Inspector Megure asked Banba Raita: "Why are there so many flammable items in the car?"

Mrs. Lai explained, "We were planning to use the cardboard and spray paint cans to make some decorations on the car after the celebration today, and then drive the car into the venue at the wedding tomorrow to give everyone a surprise..."

"By the way, she also sent a text message saying that everything is ready!"

Inspector Megure looked through the text messages and found that there was indeed such a message, but he immediately noticed the message with the photo attached: "Huh? At 8:18 pm, she sent a text message saying that she would be back in 30 minutes?"

Banchang Laitai nodded and said, "That seems to be a photo she sent from the nail salon..."

Inspector Megure said in a deep voice: "That is to say, you knew in advance that there were a lot of flammable materials in the car, and you knew exactly when she would return to the restaurant... Am I right?"

Banba Lai Tai froze in his place, his pupils dilated in shock: "Hey, what do you mean by that?"

Inspector Megure said, "In other words, you could sneak out of the restaurant during this time and lie in wait for her in the parking lot. After knocking her out, you stuffed her into the car and set it on fire, and then used the car fire to kill Miss Hatsune."

The more Inspector Megure spoke, the uglier Banba Ryota's face became, and in the end it was completely pale.

"Also, a nail polish she had done tonight fell beside her car, with a small amount of skin flakes on the front. This was when she was attacked and resisted, so there's a high chance that the murderer left it there. The DNA on that skin is almost identical to the DNA on the hair left on your comb."

The companion Lai Tai looked extremely unhappy and argued, "But isn't it true that we can't be sure that they are completely consistent?"

He turned to look at Maori Kogoro and said anxiously: "Hey Maori, please help me say something!"

Just as Maori Kogoro was about to say something, Amuro Toru spoke first, "The reason why it is almost the same is probably because the dandruff left on the nails was contaminated by external factors, so it is impossible to obtain complete AND data."

"But even if they are blood relatives, their DNA won't be exactly the same. If you think about it from this perspective, it's natural to think that the two DNA samples are from the same person."

Amuro Toru pinched his chin with a smile on his face: "My reasoning should be very reasonable, right?"

"What are you talking about, you guy?!" The originally panicked Banba Raita, the sudden appearance of Amuro Toru gave him an outlet for his emotions, and his anger suddenly burst out.

Doesn’t this guy mean that he is the murderer?

Especially since this man secretly met with Hatsune Miku and made her think that she was having an affair, and now he even said such things...

Banba Raita was extremely furious. He raised his fist and hit Amuro Toru with all his strength.

Toru Amuro was stunned, as if surprised that the other party would suddenly attack him, but the fist was already in front of him, and before he could think about it, his body automatically dodged.

The companion Lai Tai missed his target, tripped and fell flat on his face.

Yuya subconsciously looked over and found some red marks on the soles of Banba Raita's feet. He walked over and took a closer look and confirmed that they were left by Amuro Toru who accidentally stepped on the cake that fell on the ground when he poured the cake on his pants.

You couldn't help but stroke his chin and think, if this mark was still on the sole of this person's foot, it meant that he could not have left this restaurant.

If he was really the murderer, when and how did he remotely ignite the car and burn Hatsune Miku to death?

Or in other words, did Hatsune Kato really commit suicide?

Thinking of this, Yuya ignored Conan's gaze seeking consultation and turned to walk towards the two beauties who were chatting and laughing with Raita.

Before he could open his mouth, a person suddenly appeared beside him.

"Ladies, I have something to ask you, is that convenient?"
