Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 1008 Inspector, I feel that this detective's statement is biased.

Xia Chuan thought that as long as he waited normally, it wouldn't be long before he could catch Karasuma Renya.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the tranquility of the village where the guesthouse was located was shattered by police sirens.

Police cars drove into the village.

After learning a little more, Xia Chuan discovered that a case had actually occurred there.

More importantly, the Mori family actually came here for tourism.

Damn it, what I feared most has come to pass.

Ignoring the so-called ghost and murder incident, Xia Chuan immediately went to the surveillance camera to check the movements of the White Horse Research Institute.

Fortunately, the White Horse Research Institute was some distance from the village, and the police car did not scare away the people from the winery.

However, after some observation, there were far fewer hunters and fishermen in the area, and the forest rangers increased their patrols.

Clearly, the distillery remained vigilant.

They were also afraid that the case was a hoax, and that the real reason was that the research institute had been discovered by the police.

After confirming the situation at the Hakuba Research Institute, Xia Chuan turned his attention to the village.

After making inquiries, it was learned that the Mori family arrived yesterday, and the person was found dead this morning.

The time of death was approximately 1 a.m.

Xia Chuan arrived at the scene with an unremarkable face, only to see Conan swaggering around the murder scene.

Kogoro Mouri is chatting with a female villager.

This female villager must be the deceased's wife; her weeping and wailing are quite pitiful.

Kogoro Mouri hovered around her, buzzing like a fly.

The deceased was the owner of a guesthouse where the Maori family stayed during their trip. It is said that he died in the hot spring pool, and when he was found, his body was swollen.

After taking a look, Xia Chuan roughly determined who the murderer was.

She was either the widow of the guesthouse owner or one of the guesthouse's two employees.

After only a few glances, Xia Chuan discovered clues from the expressions and actions of the three people.

This could very well be a case of a widow murdering her husband.
For some reason, Xia Chuan suddenly shivered.

Damn, I suddenly remembered what happened with Joel.

Xia Chuan rubbed his nose guiltily.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xia Chuan nodded earnestly to the police officers outside the cordon, then pushed aside the cordon and entered the guesthouse.

"It's not hard work!"

The policeman stood tall and saluted Xia Chuan.

Judging from his actions, he was clearly just transferred here or had just graduated from the police academy and was not very familiar with the police in the three departments.

Xia Chuan also recognized this point, which is why he greeted the other party openly and then went inside.

After Xia Chuan entered the guesthouse, the policeman asked the officer next to him, "Hey, I've never seen this officer in the office before. Is he always away on business trips?"

The other policeman blinked. "You don't know him?"

He assumed the young policeman knew the other person, which was why he hadn't intervened. But...
"Never mind, just pretend you didn't see it. If Inspector Megure asks later, just say that the other person is Mr. Mori's friend."

"Oh oh oh"

This guesthouse is not much different from the one Xia Chuan stayed at; they even used the same underground spring water.

He has decided not to soak in the hot springs today.

膈应
The front yard of the guesthouse was very clean after yesterday's rain.

Water droplets clung to the lawn, and carp in the pond occasionally leaped out of the water.

The landscape windmill, carried by the water flow, climbs up the bamboo tube and flows onto the deer-startling device.

The bamboo tube poured water down, its end striking a sounding stone. What was originally a peaceful scene became unusually somber due to the arrival of the police and the presence of death.

“Inspector Megure, Ms. Rion was drinking with me all night. Ran and Conan can both testify to this. She is definitely not the culprit.”

"Since it rained last night and there were no footprints around, the murderer must be one of the remaining two employees!"

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's familiar reasoning, Natsukawa helplessly pursed his lips.

This time, Mr. Mori really showed his prowess, eliminating two culprits at once.

However, Conan hadn't discovered this pattern and was still investigating diligently.

"Inspector, I think this detective's statement is biased."

The sudden addition of a voice immediately drew everyone's attention.

Inspector Megure turned around in confusion, frowned, and asked, "Excuse me, sir, who is this?"

This is clearly a murder case. How can we be happy when an unrelated person suddenly appears?

Inspector Megure was already thinking about giving the new officer a talking-to when he got back.

Xia Chuan coughed twice, stepped forward, and handed over his business card.

Fortunately, to avoid any accidents during the disguise, he specifically chose a face belonging to someone of status.

"Kenichi Takahashi, Tokyo District Public Prosecutor."

After carefully examining the business card, Inspector Megure's expression immediately relaxed.

If it's the district prosecutor's office, then you can't blame the junior police officers outside.

"You must be Inspector Megure from the Third Division, right?"

"Oh, you know me?"

A hint of pride crept onto Inspector Megure's face. His hard work overtime over the past year hadn't been in vain; even the prosecutor knew about him, which meant he had gained the approval of the entire Metropolitan Police Department!

"of course."

Natsukawa smiled gently and said slowly, "Inspector Megure, the inspector with the highest number of cases solved in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, will probably be promoted in another two years."

Inspector Megure's eyes narrowed as he smiled.

I like hearing that.

However, there was one more thing that Xia Chuan didn't say.

Inspector Megure's high case-solving rate is due to the fact that he encounters cases that are ten or even dozens of times more numerous than normal.

There are now rumors circulating in other departments of the Metropolitan Police Department that Inspector Megure may possess the attributes of a Grim Reaper.

Closer to home.

"Prosecutor Takahashi, why do you say that Mori's statement is biased?"

Kogoro Mouri also cast a hostile glance his way.

Ms. Rion is so sexy and kind, how could she possibly be the murderer?

This prosecutor talks nonsense without knowing anything. Even if he's a prosecutor from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, he'll still have to say something, since he hasn't broken the law anyway.

"It's very simple. Inspector Megure should have seen it. Mr. Mori was staring straight at Ms. Rion, so he definitely had ulterior motives. In this case, his testimony is not a major reliable indicator."

Kogoro Mouri's face immediately turned red.

Stealing a glance at Ms. Rion, I saw that she suddenly took two steps back, clearly feeling offended.

Damn it! This prosecutor Takahashi has completely ruined his perfect image as a famous detective.

He's just a prosecutor; he's not even a member of the Metropolitan Police Department anymore.
Thinking of this, Kogoro Mouri stepped forward and angrily questioned, "Prosecutor Takahashi, I don't think I've offended you, do I? Don't slander an innocent person. Ms. Rion and I are innocent, and my daughter and Conan can both serve as Ms. Rion's alibis."

Not always.

Conan muttered something to himself.

Until the truth comes to light, everything is subject to discussion.
