Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 14: Beware of the impact!
Seeing the Dean of Academic Affairs being pushed outside the cordon by Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mouri thought of how the three of them were scolded by him yesterday, and he couldn't help but make a face at the Dean of Academic Affairs.

"hateful!"

The Dean of Academic Affairs was so angry that his face turned blue. He raised the bamboo sword in his hand and wanted to rush in to teach Maori a lesson.

But looking at the cordon in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and finally put his hand down.

We can teach the students a lesson later. If we barge in now and get accused of vandalism by the police, that would be a huge loss...

The Dean of Academic Affairs was trying to find an excuse to comfort himself, but at this moment, a tactless student next to him asked,
"Teacher, why can these three go in, but the others can't?"

"Baka!" The Dean of Academic Affairs hit the student who asked the question with the bamboo sword in his hand.
"I just told you to disperse, why are you still staying here?!"

"Go home now!"

The Dean of Academic Affairs was like a madman, constantly hitting and driving away the students gathered at the gymnasium entrance with a bamboo sword. Soon, no one dared to stay at the gymnasium entrance.

However, the excitement still needed to be seen. Many students stood in the distance, looking at the gymnasium, including many students from Class A of Grade 1.

"How did Lin Xiuyi and the other three get in?"

"From the looks of it, they seem to know the police from the Investigation Division 1?"

"They were late yesterday, and Mr. Murakami said it was because they were assisting the police in their investigation. Do you think what happened in the gym today is related to them?"

……

Yukiko Fujimine also stood with her classmates from the drama club, looking at the gymnasium not far away with confusion.

She didn't have a very good impression of Lin Xiuyi and the other two.

Like everyone else in the class, Yukiko thinks Kogoro Mouri is a hot-blooded idiot and Eri Kisaki is a nerd who only cares about studying.

Lin Xiuyi, who was sitting next to her, was a lecherous and gloomy man who didn't like to talk. He was staring at her lustfully yesterday, and at the end he said that he remembered someone he knew before?

What era is this? Why are people still using such old-fashioned excuses?

……

stadium,
After confirming that Hayato Doi was dead, Dr. Kobayashi from the health center began to protect the scene and prevented others from entering the judo club's activity room.

In fact, the leaders and teachers of the school who learned the news did not pay much attention to the dead Hayato Doi, but instead surrounded the judo club leader Teru Hoshino, who discovered the body with Kogoro Mori, and kept asking questions.

"Did you see anyone else when you found him?"

"This summer, your judo club performed poorly in the national league. The main reason seems to be Doi-san. How's his condition lately?"

"Did the other people in the judo club exclude him?"

……

"The door to the activity room was locked. When I opened it with my key, first-year student Maori Kogoro also came. After we opened the door, we saw Hayato hanging in the air as soon as we entered."

Facing the teachers' repeated questions, Judo Club President Teru Hoshino said in a low voice with red eyes,

"At that time, it was just me and Maori Kogoro, there was no one else."

"Hayato has been blaming himself ever since he lost the judo league match during the summer vacation."

"Even though everyone in the judo club doesn't say it, they probably all think so in their hearts."

"It seems that Hayato Doi chose to hang himself because he lost the judo competition during the summer vacation. He felt too guilty and sorry for his classmates!" The vice-principal made a summary, and the others looked at each other and nodded.

After all, although student suicide will have a certain negative impact on the school's reputation, this is already the smallest impact.

If it was a homicide, not only would Teidan bear a greater responsibility, but it would also be a fatal blow to Teidan's reputation.

With a potential murderer in the school, no student would dare to come to Teitan to study in the future!

As for the possibility of the police catching the murderer, if those "tax thieves" and "incompetent good-for-nothings who only know how to collect salaries" were really that capable, they would not be scolded.

"Principal Inoue, I..." Dr. Kobayashi from the health room wanted to say something, but was sternly stopped by the vice-principal, "Don't meddle in other people's business at this time! Don't cause trouble for the school!"

Just as the school had figured out the "truth", the detectives from the First Investigation Division arrived.

"Officers, I'm Vice Principal Inoue Jinshin," said Teitan Vice Principal. "We've basically confirmed that Doi Hayato committed suicide out of guilt after losing the summer judo tournament."

"I hope you can conclude the case as soon as possible and not affect other students in the school."

"Samezaki Shimaharu, Inspector of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department."

After introducing himself, Inspector Samezaki waved his hand, signaling Inspector Megure to lead the investigation of the crime scene, and then replied expressionlessly,

"We will investigate what exactly happened. As for when the case will be concluded, it will depend on the progress of the investigation."

"Inspector, I've made it very clear what I said just now," Vice Principal Inoue said angrily. "Doi committed suicide. Don't let his actions affect other students in our school."

"Whether it was suicide or not is for the police to determine, not..."

Before Inspector Samezaki could finish his words, someone nearby said, "He didn't commit suicide. Someone strangled him first and then hung him up there."

Not suicide?

The vice principal and the teachers were all shocked, thinking that the police officer had discovered something, but when they turned around, they saw that the person who spoke was actually a student wearing the Teitan school uniform.

This is not the era of twenty years from now when there will be high school detectives everywhere.

Not to mention the vice-principal and teachers of Teitan, even Inspector Samezaki and others did not believe Lin Xiuyi at the beginning yesterday.

"Which class are you from?" Vice Principal Inoue shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about here? Get out now!"

The person who spoke was naturally Lin Xiuyi. He had already walked around the judo club activity room and had a general understanding of the situation.

He couldn't help but speak when he heard Vice Principal Inoue talking about those nonsense like paying attention to the impact.

"Lin-kun, tell me why you don't think it was suicide," Inspector Samezaki said.

"Inspector, he's just a student!" Vice Principal Inoue complained, "Are you police officers so incompetent that you trust students who know nothing?"

Maybe he was used to being scolded, but Inspector Samezaki didn't get angry. He just gestured for Hayashi Shuichi to continue.

"I found two strangulation marks on the deceased's neck," Lin Xiuyi said, pointing at the deceased's neck. "One mark is facing upwards, and the other is facing backwards."

"What does that even mean?" Vice Principal Inoue said impatiently. "Maybe after he hanged himself, he suddenly regretted it and started struggling, which is why those two marks were left."

"Then let's do an experiment," Lin Xiu said with a smile, "Kogoro, lend me your belt."
