Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Even if you don't remember the content.

However, when he encounters related cases, he can often recall some information about them.

But regarding this case...

In his memory.

In the storyline of Detective Conan, he didn't recall that such a case existed.

However, there's also the matter of Kindaichi and the National Treasure.

This made Zhiyong understand.

Actually, this world is not just a single Detective Conan world.

Perhaps it's a world formed by merging the world of detectives.

Of course, it may be based on Conan but also incorporates elements from other worlds. This case may not be a case from the original storyline of Detective Conan.

However, the world depicted in Detective Conan is only a very small part of the social situation surrounding Conan.

Perhaps in the world of Detective Conan.

This case also exists, but because it's not related to Conan, it wasn't shown in the storyline.

But now it's a real thing.

Therefore, it's not a problem that such cases exist.

It's just a real shame.

Some time has passed since these three cases.

It's no longer possible for Zhiyong to quickly understand the case without relying on deduction.

However, it's not easy to find clues just by looking at this information.

After reviewing the documents, Zhiyong picked up the photos taken at the scene and looked at them one by one.

Looking at these photos alone may have some limitations, but the police were very thorough and have taken photos of almost every location at the scene.

Inspector Megure added, "We also need to investigate quickly to prevent a fourth case from happening."

At that moment, Zhiyong suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He then said, "After looking at these photos, I suddenly had a guess."

Inspector Megure hurriedly asked, "Brother Sato, whatever your thoughts are, please speak them out. Even if they are a bit outrageous, it doesn't matter. Perhaps you can find clues from them."

Zhiyong picked up a few photos before saying, "These are photos from the first case. The victim was random, and the murder weapon and the container for the blood were all found on-site."

After saying that, he put the photo down and picked up another one.

He then added, "In the second case, the victim was still random, and the murder weapon was also made from whatever was available. But there was one difference: the murderer used a newly opened cup to collect the blood. This shows that the murderer made a choice about the container; he chose a clean cup."

Put the photo down again.

He then picked up the photos from the third case and said, "In the third case, no cup containing blood was left at the scene. This does not mean that the murderer did not drink the blood, but rather that the murderer has upgraded his skills."

Inspector Megure asked in confusion, "Upgraded? Sato, what do you mean by that?"

Everyone was watching him.

Zhiyong replied, "Because the murderer was not satisfied with just drinking one or two sips, but began to know how to store blood. He took the blood home and slowly drank it again. He took the cash from the store because he wanted to buy equipment to store blood."

Miwako said in surprise, "So that's how it is. No wonder in the third case, no cup containing blood was found at the scene, but the cash was missing."

Officer Shiratori said, "There aren't many blood storage devices available, so we'll immediately investigate all the major medical equipment retailers to see where they're selling blood storage devices in the next couple of days. That might be the key to finding the real culprit."

Inspector Megure nodded and said, "Officer Takagi, immediately give the order to investigate any individuals or companies that have purchased blood storage equipment in the past two days."

Takagi immediately replied, "Yes."

Officer Takagi left the house.

Zhiyong continued, "We need to investigate quickly, otherwise there will be new cases in the next couple of days."

Inspector Megure asked, "Brother Sato, how did you arrive at your conclusion on this issue?"

Zhi Yong replied, "The first case was on the 18th of last month, the second case was on the 7th of this month, and the third case was on the 17th. Judging from the time of these three cases, the time the murderer had to commit the crimes has decreased significantly. This means that the murderer's need for blood is becoming more and more urgent. And the time when the murderer will commit the crime again is either today or tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure said anxiously, "That would be troublesome. We managed to suppress the news before, but if another one happens, we definitely won't be able to suppress it anymore, and it will cause widespread panic."

"boom."

The meeting room door was pushed open.

Takagi rushed in, looking flustered.

"Something terrible has happened......"

Inspector Megure said angrily, "Takagi, what's wrong with you? What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disrespectful?"

Takagi hurriedly said, "Inspector Megure, something bad has happened. I just received a call from the police station. Another murder has occurred in Beika Town, and it looks very similar to our current case."

"what?"

Inspector Megure was dumbfounded.

I never expected that.

Zhiyong just mentioned that there might be new cases.

Now we've received a report.

Now there is a new case.

They could no longer continue their meeting and discussions.

Inspector Megure immediately brought his men along, and also invited Tomoyuki and Mori to join them.

This case took place in a residential community, and the victim was a woman in her thirties.

This case is similar to the third one; after the victim was killed, blood was everywhere.

However, no cup containing the blood was found at the scene.

……

Chapter 566 Clean Blood is Needed

The person who reported the case was the victim's neighbor.

When her neighbor came out to buy groceries, she saw that the victim's door was wide open, which made her curious, so she looked into the house and found the victim, Mariko, lying in a pool of blood.

The situation at the scene was investigated.

Miwako asked, "That's strange, Tomoyuki. The time you said the murderer committed the crime is correct, but why is there blood everywhere at the scene? It doesn't seem like the murderer had any blood stored up."

Zhiyong nodded and said, "Yes, logically speaking, four days have passed since the third case. The murderer should have purchased the equipment to store blood. Why didn't he take the blood with him after the murder?"

Mori, however, said, "Could it be that the murderer has stopped drinking blood?"

Zhi Yong shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Judging from the first three cases, the murderer must have a blood disease. Because he felt he needed blood, he killed people and drank blood. This desire for blood cannot just disappear like that."

Inspector Megure also asked, "Then what's going on here? Could it be that these two cases are being copied?"

at this time.

Zhiyong suddenly noticed that the photo frame on the table was placed face down.

He walked over.

Pick up the picture frame.

All that could be seen was the victim holding a little girl.

Zhi Yong hurriedly said, "There might be another victim, and that's this little girl."

"what?"

To everyone's surprise.

He hurried outside and found the victim's neighbor.

He asked, "Did the victim live alone, or did he live with other people?"

The neighbor replied, "Riko is with her daughter."

Zhiyong asked, "You mean, the victim had a daughter? Is she the little girl in the photo?"

As he spoke, he took out the picture frame.

The neighbor lady looked at her and nodded, saying, "Yes, her name is Xiaoying. She's a very cute child. By the way, where's Xiaoying? It's Saturday today, she shouldn't be in school, right?"

Mori asked, "Could they have gone out to play?"

The neighbor shook her head and said, "That shouldn't be the case. It's time to eat now. Sakura is a very well-behaved child. Although she goes out to play, she always comes back early when it's time to eat. She even helps Riko pick vegetables."

Zhiyong suddenly realized, "Sakura really was taken away by the murderer."

Inspector Megure exclaimed in surprise, "What?"

Zhiyong hurriedly said, "When the murderer killed the victim, he originally planned to take all her blood. However, after seeing Xiaoying, he had a new goal. He was no longer satisfied with enough blood. He wanted cleaner and fresher blood, and the child's blood was exactly what he needed. So, he took Xiaoying away."

Inspector Megure exclaimed in shock, "How could this be?"

Zhiyong continued, "I just saw the scene. In the victim's closet, there were two bags of winter clothes and some scattered winter clothes. Those scattered clothes should have been in the bags, but the murderer emptied the clothes out and put Xiaoying in the bags. We need to find him soon. Maybe Xiaoying is just knocked unconscious and she is still alive."

Inspector Megure immediately said, "Shiratori, Takagi, Miwako, you all take people and search for someone carrying this kind of bag."

Zhiyong added, "The murderer should be a man, not too old, between twenty and thirty. He is thin and looks like a drug addict. He is carrying a checkered textile bag, and Xiaoying should be in the bag."

Inspector Megure immediately said, "Did you hear that? Quickly take people to search."

Zhiyong quickly replied, "I'll go up to the roof and check out the surroundings."

After he finished speaking, he quickly ran upstairs.

This area is considered a slum.

Although they're not so poor that they have nothing to eat, the people living here are relatively poor.

Therefore, there is not much surveillance here, making it very difficult to find anything from the surveillance footage.

Zhiyong thought of searching the surrounding area to see if there was a place where the murderer had committed the crime.
