Ke Xue Lu Ren Wang

Just as Yuzuru was about to push open the half-closed door, a childish voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Brother Yuzuru, what are you doing?"

Yuzuru paused, and when he turned around, he saw Conan Edogawa, wearing black-rimmed glasses and following behind him with a curious expression.

Yuzuru remained silent for a moment, then slowly moved his body aside, revealing the horrifying scene inside the door.

Conan peered through the crack in the door, his small body stiffening abruptly.

In the dim light, a girl lay face down on the carpet in front of the sofa, the back of her head stained with dark red liquid, and the carpet beneath her had turned a dark color. Her life or death was unknown.

Conan's detective spirit ignited instantly. He rushed to Yuzuru's side, his small hand about to push open the door and rush into the private room.

"ah--!"

Unexpectedly, a piercing scream suddenly rang out from the other end of the corridor, startling Conan and Tetsu Hanyu, who were in a state of high tension.

Two stylishly dressed young women were standing not far behind them. One of them was pointing in the direction of the private room, her face filled with fear and disbelief.

"Who...who are you? Why is Mio..." One of the girls, wearing glasses, pointed at the girl lying on the floor of the private room, her voice trembling and her words broken.

"Please remain calm. We were just passing by." Yuzuru immediately turned around and explained in a calm voice, while quickly taking out his phone and dialing the Metropolitan Police Department to report the incident.

Sure enough, the case arrived late. Wherever Conan appears, a murder is sure to follow.

Conan ignored the two terrified girls and slipped into the crime scene while Yuzuru was on the phone.

However, upon entering the crime scene, Conan discovered that there was actually another person inside.

In this small private room, besides a pair of small sofas on both sides, there is a larger sofa in the middle.

At that moment, a girl with an earring and dyed blonde hair was lying on the large sofa.

She was fast asleep, reeking of alcohol, and seemed to be completely drunk.

"Hanyu-nii, did you call the police?" Conan, after inspecting the scene, suddenly turned around and asked Hanyu Tetsu loudly at the door.

"I called." Yuzuru had already hung up the phone and nodded.

"Let's wait for the police to arrive." Conan stood near the corpse, his small hand touching his chin, his eyes behind his glasses becoming sharp, as if he was thinking about something.

……

The Metropolitan Police Department's efficiency is neither particularly high nor particularly low.

In any emergency where the main characters encounter extremely dangerous situations, they will definitely arrive late, only after the matter has been resolved. But in cases like this murder case where the outcome has already occurred, their response time is almost instantaneous, arriving shortly after the call is made.

"Name." A tall, thin man in a gray suit asked the routine question with a serious expression, holding a notebook.

"Toru Hanyu"

"gender."

"male."

"Were you the first person to discover it?" Takagi Wataru asked, looking up as he took notes in his notebook.

"Yes." Yuzuru answered every question and was cooperative, but he never said a word more than necessary.

Too much talk leads to mistakes; in this world, it's safer to be a silent, handsome guy.

Meanwhile, Conan was staring at a chubby police officer in a brown coat.

"Conan, why are you here?" Inspector Megure looked at the blue-collar elementary school student in front of him, rubbed his temples, and asked in a tone full of helplessness and confusion.

"Um... I was singing karaoke with Ran-neechan and Sonoko-neechan. Sonoko-neechan's boyfriend, this Yuzuru-nii, and I were on our way to the restroom. But then Yuzuru-nii suddenly stopped at the door of this private room. When I went over, I saw that lady lying on the floor, with a lot of blood coming from her head." Conan explained in the tone of an innocent child.

"I see." Inspector Megure nodded.

"Um... can I go to the bathroom first? I feel like I can't hold it in anymore." Conan's stomach rumbled as soon as he finished speaking.

He was so excited when he saw the crime scene that he forgot he was still pregnant, and now he's getting his comeuppance.

"Uh...you should go now!" Inspector Megure waved for Conan to leave, seeing that he was about to lose control.

Before long, the other end of the KTV corridor became lively.

Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Mouri, and Chizuru Shimizu were all notified by the KTV receptionist by phone that there was an emergency and they needed to meet in the lobby.

"I just heard from people in other rooms that there seems to be a murder here." Tomomi Matsuzaka stood on tiptoe and craned her neck to look into the crowd.

"I think so... Look, quite a few police officers have arrived." Shimizu Chizuru chimed in, her eyes filled with a hint of excitement at the spectacle.

"Ugh~ What a spoilsport! I haven't even had my fill of singing yet!" Ueda Tatsuya pouted, looking somewhat displeased.

"Let's come again next time. Let's go find Sonoko's boyfriend and that brat first," Yusuke Sugiyama said lazily, his hands in his pockets.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached, they saw Yuzuru Hanyu being questioned by the police inside the cordon.

"Hanyu-kun? What's going on here?" Matsuzaka Tomomi looked at the scene and Hanyu Tetsu being surrounded by police with some surprise.

"I passed by the crime scene when I went to the restroom just now," Yuzuru Tetsu explained simply when he saw them.

"Are you alright?" Sonoko Suzuki had no interest in watching the commotion; she quickly squeezed to the front, her face filled with worry.

"It's alright." Yuzuru shook his head and gave Sonoko Suzuki a reassuring smile.

"Sonoko, Ran." Inspector Megure noticed the two at this moment and walked over.

"Inspector Megure, what's going on here?" Sonoko Suzuki asked immediately upon seeing a familiar face.

"Hmm... As you can see, a murder has occurred here." Inspector Megure pondered for a moment, then spoke with a serious expression. "And this Yuzuru-kun was the first to discover the crime, so we need him to give a statement."

"Um... Inspector Megure, have you seen Conan?" Ran Mouri looked around the area but couldn't find Conan, so she started to worry.

"Oh, he went to the restroom. I saw he was in a pretty hurry," Inspector Megure explained.

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief.

A short while later, Yuzuru finished taking the basic notes, and Conan also came out of the restroom.

His face was deathly pale, his steps were unsteady, and he had an expression of exhaustion on his face. It seemed that he had just gone through a big battle and was quite exhausted.

"Who are these people?" After finishing his statement, Takagi Wataru looked at the group of friends behind Suzuki Sonoko.

"Oh, oh, oh! They are my junior high school classmates. We're having a class reunion here today," Sonoko Suzuki hurriedly explained.

"By the way, Sonoko, please excuse us. If it's someone unimportant, it's best to leave the scene first." Inspector Megure glanced seriously at Tomomi Matsuzaka and the others who were still taking pictures of the police with their phones.

"Okay, I understand." Sonoko Suzuki nodded, walked over and whispered a few words to Chizuru Shimizu and Tomomi Matsuzaka.

After hearing this, the two walked over, greeted Yuzuru, and prepared to leave.

"We'll be going now. Contact Lien if anything comes up," Shimizu Chizuru said to Yuzuru, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

Tomomi Matsuzaka, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement and winked at Toru Hanyu: "Um, Hanyu-kun, you can come and play with us next time too~"

"Inspector, should I have them delete all the photos?" Takagi Wataru asked Megure in a low voice.

"No need, they're just some off-site photos, they won't affect the investigation." Inspector Megure shook his head.

"Uncle Megure, can Yuzuru leave now that he's finished giving his statement?" Sonoko Suzuki asked, naturally taking Yuzuru Toru's arm.

"Hmm... not yet..." Inspector Megure shook his head apologetically. "As the first person to discover the crime, you need to wait until we have finished organizing the initial clues from the crime scene before you can leave."

"Alright then~" Sonoko Suzuki could only nod and said nothing more.

Sonoko Suzuki stayed behind the cordon with Toru Hanyu, standing near the entrance.

Seeing this, Takagi began to take stock of the three girls involved in the incident.
