Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

"I'll tell you all this when we get home. Let's go check out the situation outside first," Jia Chen said, standing up.

Ai Haibara nodded and followed Gatsuki out.

Also coming out was an old man from the next room. Upon seeing the body, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Jintian!!!"

"Please don't leave yet, wait for the police to arrive," Kogoro Mouri said seriously. "Please return to your rooms."

Because the screams were so loud, most people came out to watch.

"A murder has apparently occurred here. The police will be taking statements when they arrive, so I hope everyone will work together to solve the case!" As a former member of the Metropolitan Police Department, Kogoro Mouri was very familiar with the procedures.

Furthermore, the serious Kogoro Mouri still gives people a particularly reliable feeling.

"Go back, go back."

"It's not surprising that this happened in Beika Town."

"Mihua Grand Stage, come if you dare."

"This uncle is so handsome when he's serious, I feel like I'm going to get excited."

Strange noises emanated from the crowd as people retreated back into their rooms.

"Professor Iwama, what's wrong!" A man rushed back from outside.

"Brother Jintian...he died in this room," the old man said sadly.

After noticing this, Kogoro Mouri took the initiative to go forward and talk to them.

Conan, on the other hand, secretly slipped in to observe the scene.

A short while later... Conan was thrown out of the scene by Kogoro Mouri.

"Uncle, you're hurting me!" Conan rubbed his butt and looked resentfully into the room... then noticed the tall figure behind him.

"I'm very interested..." Jia Chen bent down to look at Conan, "Where did Mr. Mori hurt you just now?"

Chapter 138 Inspector Megure: This is difficult...

A calm, deep voice came through, and Conan shuddered.

He recalled his earlier words, somewhat confused, and tilted his head to look at Jia Chen, "Jia Chen Gege, of course my butt hurts..."

"Hmm." Jia Chen nodded, stood up, and actually still really wanted to know what had happened between Shinichi Kudo and Professor Agasa back then...

How could he know so accurately the location of the mole on the doctor's buttock, and in such detail?

only...

Jia Chen glanced at Xiao Ai, who was blushing and looking down, seemingly lost in thought.

It wouldn't be good if it led Ai Haibara astray.

"Is there anything worth noting?" Jia Chen changed the subject and asked.

Conan was stunned. What was wrong with Jia Chen?

It's rare for him to be interested in a case. Before, when he was reasoning, nine out of ten sentences he uttered were nonsense, and the other one was really... useless.

"It's just that the culprit ruined my meal, and I'm in a bad mood," Jia Chen said after noticing Conan's strange gaze. "Besides, I also want to test my reasoning skills."

The real reason was... his girlfriend was looking down, her fair fingers unconsciously twirling her brown hair, her gaze occasionally drifting towards him, and then... quickly looking away after their eyes met.

She looks exactly like a miniature steampunk princess.

Search for "Old Man 8.6+07380)45#"

As for what was going on in that little head of his mind, Jia Chen had no idea.

After hearing this, Conan looked enlightened and began to explain the details of the investigation he had just conducted.

Conan revealed that the man who had just entered was named Arai, and that he arrived at the same time as the deceased.

The elderly man arrived early and booked a room; the purpose of the three-person gathering was to celebrate the deceased's promotion to associate professor.

Moreover...most importantly, the deceased had a very bad personality.

The final clue was that the deceased had caviar on his thumb.

After listening, Jia Chen pondered... He lived in Beika Town and had a terrible personality, so it's normal for him to die.

"In that case..." Jia Chen's light red eyes revealed calmness, giving people a sense of composure and reliability.

Conan's eyes turned slightly cold upon hearing this. Had Jia Chen figured out some key point?

“If the prisoner isn’t Arai, then it’s that old man,” Jia Chen offered his opinion.

Conan: "...

Jia Chenshi was just teasing him, wasn't he? This is a choice between two options, you bastard! What's the difference between this and Kogoro Mouri?

Conan shook his head, intending to examine the clues again.

Ten minutes will pass quickly.

Inspector Megure arrived with his men, his expression serious.

However, when he saw Kogoro Mouri and his group, his lips twitched involuntarily.

Why is it this group of 'familiar faces' again? And Brother Jiachen, aren't you afraid of getting infected by following them around every day?

Despite his inner grumbling, Inspector Megure still efficiently ordered Wataru Takagi to inspect the scene, while continuing to grumble inwardly.

“Inspector Megure.” Wataru Takagi ran over with a small notebook. “The time of death should be around 11:50, and it has just been confirmed that all the staff in the store have alibis.”

Inspector Megure looked a bit overwhelmed after hearing this, and reached out to adjust his orange hat. "This is going to be difficult..."

"Miss Xi'an, you were the first to discover the body, right?" Inspector Megure turned to look at the receptionist.

“That’s right.” Xi’an Jingzi nodded, her face showing some lingering fear. “I saw that someone had gone into that room but hadn’t ordered yet, so I wanted to check on them. I didn’t expect…this would happen.”

"However, how did the deceased end up in room number eight?" Kogoro Mouri asked seriously, completely unlike his drunken state just moments before. "I remember when I came here, he didn't have a reservation."

“Yes, I saw him go into room number eight and I asked him something,” Kyoko Ian said with a look of recollection. “He said he had to meet someone before he went in.”

"So, did anyone enter room number eight during the journey?" Inspector Megure asked seriously.

“No…” Xi’an Jingzi shook her head. “I was watching the room the whole time. No one went in. Besides, there’s only a small entrance hall. You can’t get in without crossing the bridge.”

After Xi'an Jingzi finished speaking, Jia Chen felt his hand being pulled.

He turned to look at Ai as if he had something to say, and squatted down.

"Is it possible that they went there by boat?" Ai had entered a cool-down period by now, and her expression was much calmer... but her earlobes were still a little red when she got close to Jia Chen. "After all... that old man was able to perform this technique."

“Ai-chan is great.” Jia Chen nodded. “The murderer is that old man.”

"You knew all along?" Ai Haibara asked.

"No, I only found out after Ai pointed it out to me," Jia Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara's lips unconsciously curled into a smile, then she quickly regained her composure.

Jia Chen: "

····Requesting flowers···

"Garchen Gege?!" Conan saw the two whispering and instantly felt uneasy, as if their friendship had capsized. "Have you discovered something?"

"The culprit has been identified," Jia Chen said calmly, glancing at Conan.

Conan: "!!!???"

这才多长时间，他还没有头 鉊疏輑；5_9}9^叁7[0(3-2)四 绪...伽辰就已经知道凶手了？

Is this what you call testing your reasoning ability?

You don't even need to try; with this reasoning ability, you could punch Uncle Mori and kick Inspector Megure.

The familiar feeling of being wronged welled up in my heart again.

Jia Chen reached out and ruffled Ai's soft hair, then got up and walked towards Inspector Megure.

"Gachengege? Where are you going?" Conan asked.

"Tell Inspector Megure, then continue eating," Jia Chen said as he walked.

"Emmm..." Conan was silent for a moment, then followed. "Don't you want to know the motive for the murder? Don't you want to deduce it?"

"I don't want to." Jia Chen stopped and looked down at Conan. "If you want, I can give you the chance."

Conan:

He's just a kid; no matter what he says, people will still be suspicious...

Moreover, this happened in public.

"I'm still just a kid..." Conan said innocently.

Jia Chen glanced at Conan indifferently, ignored him, and walked forward.

Conan followed, wanting to hear how Jia Chen analyzed the situation.

The two walked up to Inspector Megure.

"Inspector Megure, I have something to tell you." Jia Chen patted Inspector Megure on the shoulder.

"Oh!?" Inspector Megure's eyes lit up. "Brother Jia Chen, you're pregnant?"
