Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Taking a deep breath, Inspector Megure revealed his deadpan expression and said irritably:

"However, if you touch the corpse carelessly, you will damage the stiff muscles, and then you will not be able to estimate the time of death."

Upon hearing this, Shinichi Kudo replied without hesitation:

"Based on the state of the mortises on the deceased's body and the fact that his jaw began to stiffen, the deceased should have died one or two hours ago. Moreover, toilet number one is the real crime scene. Bloodstains were found on the sink inside, and the sink was also filled with water. We don't know what the situation was at the time."

Inspector Megure was taken aback. He opened the door to toilet number one and took a look. Just as Shinichi Kudo had said, there were indeed bloodstains on the faucet inside. Although there wasn't much, it was clear that this was the first crime scene.

As for why the body was found in toilet number two, that's something worth investigating further.

"So this means it's a murder case, and the killer is definitely still on this plane." Inspector Megure's expression became even more serious.

After saying that, he ignored Shinichi Kudo and said to the flight attendant behind him, "Excuse me, could you please call over the man sitting next to me? He is also a detective."

The flight attendant nodded and ran off to call someone.

Police officers like Inspector Megure are the safest on airplanes right now, so the flight attendants choose to trust him.

Shinichi Kudo realized he couldn't gain anyone's trust, so he didn't say anything and instead started thinking about what the case was all about.

Although this case looks like a murder, there's something strange about it that makes it hard for him to make a judgment.

Xiao Lan tugged at the hand that was being held.

Shiraishi Xiu was taken aback, then realized what was wrong and whispered to the girl beside him, "Xiaolan, what's wrong?"

Ran whispered in Shiraishi Xiu's ear, "Xiu, don't you need to go help? Your reasoning is so strong."

Osamu Shiraishi laughed and said, "It's still early. We have to wait until Inspector Megure and the others have finished their inspection. Why don't you go back to your seat and get some sleep?"

"I don't want it?"

Xiaolan shook her head, gripping Baishi Xiu's hand tightly, as if afraid of being abandoned.

That spot is spacious.

Now someone has died here again.

In addition, it was late at night on the plane, and she didn't dare to sit in that seat alone.

Very soon...

Another detective arrived; it turned out to be Wataru Takagi.

After he and Inspector Megure finished their examination, they were still unable to determine what the adaptation was, so they finally turned their attention to Osamu Shiraishi.

"Brother Bai, I'm leaving it to you."

"Row."

Shiraishi Osamu nodded, only then realizing that he had been holding Ran's hand the whole time. However, he pretended not to know, let go of her hand, and went into toilet number two to begin examining the deceased's body.

A short while later...

He nodded in sudden realization.

Inspector Megure asked, "How did you die?"

Bai Shixiu said, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should have drowned."

"sure?"

"Of course, based on my experience in cooking, many animal ingredients are drowned in the same way. Even though they have become human, I can still tell."

Inspector Megure couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Even though he had already seen it in the newspaper, he still found this method of deduction absurd.

Shinichi Kudo and Officer Takagi's lips twitched. Although they felt awkward, they didn't refute it because they had recently read the newspaper, especially since one of the articles was about a live demonstration. They didn't want to be proven wrong.

Inspector Megure also chose to believe him, stroking his chin as he said, "So you're saying he was ambushed, drowned, and then dragged to toilet number two."

Officer Takagi said, "The most important thing now is to find eyewitnesses. The time of death was probably one or two hours ago, so I think we should be able to find quite a few witnesses."

"Ha ha……"

Shinichi Kudo burst into laughter, drawing everyone's attention. He smiled and said:

"There were four suspects in total. Besides the victim, only four people went to the restroom at the time of the incident. My seat happened to be in the last row, and I kept that in mind. After the plane took off, no one went to the smoking area at the back to smoke, so I should be right."

Inspector Megure's eye twitched. Although he really didn't want a teenager to help him, he said helplessly, "In that case, can you tell me which four people they are?"

"it is good."

Shinichi Kudo nodded and led Inspector Megure to look after someone. They soon returned with five people.

There were three men and two women.

Two women: Amano Tsukasa and Tachikawa Chizuru.

Two men: Edward, Saginuma Ben, and Quail-kai Tsuneten.

"Heyang!!!"

Amano Kenji cried out in grief upon seeing the corpses of Taiya and Hiroshi, which prompted Tachikawa Chizuru to offer him words of comfort.

Chizuru Tachikawa looked at Inspector Megure and asked, "What exactly happened? How could this have occurred?"

Inspector Megure said, "We don't know either, we're investigating."

Quail-feeding Hengtian spoke up: "Could it be because of those negatives?"

What negative?

“I was sitting across the aisle from his seat when the man took out the negatives and said he was going to sell them to some newspaper or something and make a lot of money.”

"What?!" Tachikawa Chizuru exclaimed in surprise, turning to Inspector Megure and asking, "Does Taka still have any film on him?"

Officer Takagi shook his head and said, "No. We didn't find any negatives on Mr. Taiga and Mr. Yo's bodies."

Inspector Megure said, "If that's the case, the killer must be someone who knows the key people who have the negatives."

Tachikawa Chizuru said, "Officer, everyone in our line of work knows about this. He has already contacted many newspapers in the country."

Inspector Megure calmed them down, saying, "Don't get agitated. How about we ask the four of you why you came to the restroom in the first place..."

Ben Saginuma consciously took a step back.

He had been sleeping in his seat the whole way, and only came to check on things after hearing that his friend had died. He didn't want to get involved in any case.

Besides, he didn't even go to the toilet, so this matter has absolutely nothing to do with him.

Chapter 0058: Suspicion of the Target

Amano Tsukasa: "I went to the restroom because I wasn't feeling well. When I returned to my seat, Kazuhiro was still there! After that, I felt a bit airsick, and I thought taking some motion sickness medication might help, so I called over a flight attendant. So, I shouldn't be mistaken."

"Is what she said true?" Inspector Megure looked at the flight attendant.

A flight attendant nodded: "Yes, I remember, that gentleman was still sleeping at that time."

Quail Feeding Heaven: "Yes, I saw her on the other side of the corridor too. She was asking the flight attendant for motion sickness medication. I went to the restroom after that, about five minutes later."

Inspector Megure hurriedly asked, "The other side? Weren't you and the victim in the same aisle?"

Masah Hengtian said with distress, "That's because I can't sit in my seat all the time, so I wander around."

Inspector Megure: "That's strange. When did the victim leave his position...?"

Flight attendant: "The gentleman had already left by the time I handed the medicine and water to the lady. I remember it took less than a minute to get the medicine."

Chizuru Tachikawa said, "As for when I went to the restroom, it was after Kozuki took his medicine. I think it was about 20 minutes. I went to check on Taiyo because he hadn't returned to his seat for a long time. But he was perfectly fine at that time! When I knocked on the restroom door to ask him how he was, he even knocked on the door and answered me."

Inspector Megure and the others' eyes lit up, and they exchanged glances without making a sound.

Shinichi Kudo's eyes lit up as he stared intently at Chizuru Tachikawa.

Shiraishi Osamu sniffed lightly and caught a strange smell. As he sniffed, he walked up to the short-haired beauty Amano Tsukasa and looked at a strange part of her body with great curiosity, wanting to sneak a sniff when she wasn't looking.

next second...

A very fair and delicate hand reached out from behind, covered his mouth and nose, and pulled him back with considerable force.

Shiraishi Osamu: ...

Shiraishi Osamu was stunned, not reacting for a moment, and just stared at Ran, who was covering her mouth and nose shyly.

Xiao Lan released her hand from his, nervously twisting her hands together. Blushing, she lowered her head, looking at his small, shoe-clad feet, and murmured:

"Xiu, you can't do this. Smelling another girl's underwear is very inappropriate, and it looks very lewd. Please...please...don't do this..."

The sound grew fainter and fainter until the last few words were almost inaudible.

Osamu Shiraishi looked embarrassed.

He took a deep breath, forced a smile, and explained:

"Xiaolan, it's not what you think. I solved the case last time by relying on my nose. I just smelled a strange odor and wanted to get closer to confirm it. It's nothing outrageous."

"Even solving the case isn't acceptable..."

Ran was still clinging to her girlish fantasies, blushing as she looked at Shiraishi Osamu.

"Alright, alright, alright." Shiraishi Xiu nodded helplessly. He hadn't intended to continue anyway, and this interruption made him not want to smell it anymore. In any case, he had already remembered the smell.

Here.

Inspector Megure calmly asked Tachikawa Chizuru, "So, which restroom door did you knock on?"

Chizuru Tachikawa thought for a moment and said, "It's toilet number 2."

Shinichi Kudo chimed in, "How did you determine that it was his inside?"

Chizuru Tachikawa said helplessly, "There was no one in the other two toilets at the time, and I checked both of them by opening the doors. Also, the sink in toilet number 1 was full of water, which I didn't like, so I closed the door. So I remember that very clearly, and I was sure no one was there."

This news gave Inspector Megure and his team a rough idea of ​​what had happened, and they all turned their attention to the last foreigner, their eyes filled with suspicion.

Because they felt that if that were the case, the foreigner might become a suspect.

Shinichi Kudo stepped forward, spoke to the other person in English for a moment, and then said to Inspector Megure:

He said he couldn't remember when he went to the bathroom.

At this time.

Another insignificant man, Saginuma Ben, spoke up:

"Hey, when are you going to stop asking these unreliable questions? Why don't you just look for the negative on the other people? Just search all four of them; that would be faster. Besides, this has nothing to do with the person I've been sleeping with."

Inspector Megure said suspiciously, "That's impossible. You knew the deceased, so you're also a suspect."
