Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 100 The incident
November 11nd, Wednesday, was the day Shiraishi was discharged from the hospital.

It was also the last day of Shiraishi's sick leave...

Although theoretically Shiraishi could go directly to work from the hospital, but... Shiraishi made an exception and took an extra day off and went out on a date with Ayako.

Originally, Ayako would have preferred Shiraishi to stay at home... No, it would be better for him to continue recuperating in the hospital!

However, when she knew that he was going to work directly, Ayako decisively asked him out on a date, and specially found an indoor shopping mall suitable for a rest. They didn't go wandering around, but mainly took Shiraishi to sit in some leisure shops!

……

At 4:40 in the afternoon, Shiraishi and Ayako were resting and drinking tea at a seat outside a French restaurant when Shiraishi's cell phone, which was on the table, rang.

"Huh? Sonoko?" Shiraishi was also stunned when he saw the incoming call alert from [Suzuki Sonoko].

"Eh?" Ayako looked over in confusion. Judging from the time, school should have just ended a while ago. What did Sonoko want to do with Hei?
"Hello, brother-in-law, it's me, it's me... We're here at Beika-cho 6-chome, and we just encountered a murder case..." Sonoko's words made Shiraishi's heart sink.

Beika-cho 6-chome, which is... the street next to the Mori Detective Agency, is definitely under the jurisdiction of the Beika Police Station.

"Hey! What are you doing? Can you tell this to anyone else? Put your phone down right now!"

There was another voice on the line.

When Bai Shi heard the voice, he immediately compared it with his memory and soon matched it with a face...

"Not an outsider! It's..." Sonoko was about to explain.

"I don't care whether you and your brother-in-law are outsiders or not, anyway, you are outsiders in this case now! You high school students..."

Shiraishi said helplessly at this time: "Don't worry, you answer the phone for Detective Moriya."

……

Fujimaru house, the scene of the incident on the second floor.

"I... hum! Look..." Sonoko was about to argue, but after hearing what Shiraishi said, she still handed over the phone.

"Hey! What happened to your wife's sister? I'm telling you, ask her parents to come to the Mihua Police Station to pick her up, and don't let the case..."

Sen Ya was just talking halfway when he suddenly seemed to have pressed the pause button. Then, Detective Sen Ya suddenly stood at attention, bowed 90 degrees, and said loudly: "Hello, Director! Thank you for your hard work! That's right, the director's sister-in-law is on site to guide the work...

"Ah no, what I mean is that the director's sister-in-law and friends are providing important assistance... Yes! I will actively listen to the opinions of the public, conduct a preliminary review, and then officially launch the investigation after the Akasaka department chief arrives..."

……

After Moriya returned the phone with both hands, he became smiling, and the expression of a tough and hard-core detective was completely gone.

"As expected of a high school detective! He is really sharp and smart. This is probably... that... famous reasoning! This is a famous reasoning!"

At this time, Moriya was very impressed with Kudo Shinichi. He snatched the camera from the patrolman and began to collect evidence under Kudo Shinichi's command.

In response, Kudo and the other two rolled their eyes.

At this moment, the combination of Akasaka and Toosaka, and the combination of Kuroki and Kanzaki arrived one after another.

Seeing Moriya serving Kudo Shinichi "at his beck and call", Akasaka's face was pulled long - he did know Kudo Shinichi, having seen him before in the aquarium murder case, but...

Firstly, Akasaka didn't understand why, Moriya, a police officer, was here to "help" the detective; secondly, Akasaka had never seen the full strength of Kudo Shinichi before - during the murder in the aquarium, although Shinichi's analysis was very logical and his on-site inspection ability was quite strong, and it could be fairly said that he was at the level of a "qualified criminal policeman", but he didn't find the murderer after all!

The murderer was found by the Director...

"Detective Moriya, what are you doing?" Akasaka asked speechlessly.

"Ah! Chief Akasaka, let me introduce her to you. This is the director's sister-in-law, the one..." Moriya suddenly remembered that he didn't even know her name.

Akasaka rolled his eyes upon hearing this - Is that why you are so fawning?

While looking down on Moriya in his heart, Akasaka also looked at Sonoko and said, "Sister-in-law? So, you are from the Suzuki family..."

Akasaka knew that the director was not married yet, but when it came to his wife's younger sister, although he didn't know her name, he thought she should be Suzuki Ayako's sister. After all, the director didn't look like a scumbag.

"That's right! I'm Suzuki Sonoko. Thank you for your help with the kidnapping case before, Detective Akasaka." Sonoko greeted him openly at this time - if Moriya hadn't been aggressive from the beginning, Sonoko would not have "showed her relationship" with him.

"No, no, that time it was all thanks to the cooperation of the Suzuki family." Akasaka also said politely.

In the previous kidnapping case, the person kidnapped was not Sonoko herself, so she was just being polite. "Detective Moriya, how is the preliminary investigation going?" Akasaka did not focus on the greetings with the "director's wife's sister". He simply greeted her and immediately asked about Moriya.

If Moriya had behaved more normally, Akasaka wouldn't have been so rude - after all, he was also a criminal police officer. Although the second, third, and fourth departments were generally responsible for major cases, no one said that the seventh department was responsible for conducting preliminary investigations for the first three departments!
But now Akasaka despises him for being too useless, so naturally he speaks rudely.

Moriya did not take it as an offense, but said politely: "It's like this, it was this classmate Kudo Shinichi who was brave enough to fight the gangsters on the street just now, but because the gangsters were fierce, Kudo's football flew in and broke the glass... But it landed in this direction, so it definitely has nothing to do with the murder!"

Akasaka:……

Akasaka looked at Moriya's proud expression and wanted to give him a slap - It's okay? You said it's okay so excitedly? Am I here to find out how the window was broken?
"Oh... I see. Kudo-san, you tell me about it." Akasaka touched his crew cut, and then... he didn't want to criticize the detectives from other departments, after all, they were not his subordinates, so he just looked at Kudo Shinichi.

In comparison, because of what happened at the aquarium before, Akasaka trusts Kudo's abilities more.

“The victim, Nakahato Hideko, was an assistant to the composer, Fujimaru Kazuo.

“At 4:52, my football flew into Mr. Fujimaru’s house.

"About a minute later, there was a second sound of breaking glass and a woman screaming.

“After that, we came in with Mrs. Fujimaru Yoshino and saw the deceased. At that time, only Mr. Fujimaru and the victim were in the house.

“And the place where this crime took place was Mr. Fujimaru’s studio.

"To put it simply, the cause of death is probably that the glass of the photo frame on the sofa shattered, and the fragments pierced the carotid artery." Kudo Shinichi briefly described the case and pointed to the photo frame above the sofa.

After listening to this, Akasaka looked at Fujimaru Kazuo suspiciously and frowned, "So, Mr. Fujimaru, you should know how the incident happened, right?"

"Just now he said that it was a football that broke it. It's obviously a lie!" Senya was adding insult to injury.

But it is true that just now Fujimaru Kazuo followed Moriya's words and said, "It seems that it was hit by a football, and then the photo frame broke."

"No, no... I was too panicked just now! In fact, my mind was also foggy and I had no idea what happened. And, and I was at my desk with my back to the sofa. After I heard the shattering sound, Hideko was already dead! Accident... This should be an accident, right? I will contact the merchant of the photo frame!" Fujimaru explained quickly.

"Panicked? But Mr. Fujimaru, when you opened the door earlier, your response time was a bit too slow, wasn't it? And... shouldn't you call the emergency number immediately for something like this?" Kudo asked aggressively.

"I...after all, this happened, of course I was shocked, so..." Fujimaru was about to continue explaining it as "panic".

However, Kudo exposed it at this time: "But you still have time to turn off the music."

"Music?" Kanzaki repeated this at this time, seeming to care a lot.

"Yes, at the beginning when my football flew in and broke the window, I could hear loud music outside. But after the second breaking sound and while we were running in, the music stopped." Kudo described it as a matter of course.

"Honey, could it be that you are the one who will give birth to Miss Hidate..." Fujimaru Yoshino looked at her husband in shock.

"No! Of course I didn't..."

Fuji Maru looked increasingly panicked at this moment, and could almost be described as "guilty as a thief"...

……

At the same time, Shiraishi also came to the outside of the crime scene - now that he already knew about the case, not only could Shiraishi not sit idly by, but... Ayako was also worried about Sonoko.

After all, Yuanzi has no experience of being involved in a murder case...

"Chief!" The patrolman saluted immediately when he saw Bai Shi.

Although Shiraishi was in casual clothes, the patrol officers who were cordoning off the scene were all from the Beihua Police Department, so of course they recognized their boss at a glance.

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look." Bai Shi nodded.

Upon seeing this, the patrolman standing guard outside the isolation belt immediately lifted the isolation belt... After thinking about it, he quickly lowered the isolation belt again - it was obviously impossible to lift the isolation belt above the top of the white stone.

Ayako followed in because she was worried about her sister...

Since she was the director's female companion, the patrolman certainly didn't ask any further questions!
----

Dongdong: The prototype of this case is the live-action version of "Kudo Shinichi's Challenge". I guess not many people have seen it, right?
The timeline of this drama is before Kudo Shinichi became a child, but the screenwriter does not seem to understand the main plot of "Detective Conan". Many settings are not quite right. For example, in this case, Heiji and Kazuha actually met Shinichi and Xiaolan. In other episodes, the personalities of various main characters are even more shattered...

Therefore, the cases in this series are only for reference and will be adapted to suit the settings.
