In Detective Conan: My Deskmate Eri Kisaki

Chapter 32 The Plane Murder Case

That evening, Ye Jin packed her luggage, preparing to depart in a few days.

Eri and Yukiko were also ready.

A few days later, the holiday began.

Ye Jin and her two companions boarded a plane and headed to the United States.

On the plane, Ye Jin pulled a blanket over herself.

"I'm planning to take a break. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Eri and Yukiko looked at each other, each holding one of Ye Jin's arms.

Ye Jin was speechless: "..."

These two girls are at it again.

"Wait! If you two have nothing else to do, you can go get some sleep. There's no need to keep arguing. We're friends, after all."

Just as Yukiko was about to say something, she suddenly gave a sly smile.

"Ye Jin, come with me to the restroom."

Eri blushed.

"Yukiko, what are you trying to do! There are so many people on this plane, it would be embarrassing if we were discovered. Don't go too far!"

Ye Jin was speechless again: "..."

What are these two girls thinking?

It must be that the entertainment industry in this country is too developed, corrupting the hearts of these two beauties.

I think about this kind of thing all the time.

To be honest, Ye Jin was still somewhat looking forward to it.

"Cough cough..."

Ye Jin coughed lightly and said seriously, "You two girls should rest well on the plane and not think about so many unrealistic things. Just get some sleep."

After saying that, Ye Jin gently tapped the two of them on the head.

Yukiko and Eri covered their heads and said no more.

But his gaze remained fixed on Ye Jin.

"I'm going to take a nap first. You guys mustn't fight."

After saying that, Ye Jin covered her head with the blanket.

Eri and Yukiko just stared at each other without saying a word, their thoughts unknown.

After a long while, the two finally grew tired and closed their eyes to rest.

The flight was quite long. Ye Jin slept for an hour, but felt a bit sore, so she didn't continue sleeping.

Suddenly, the crowd ahead stirred.

Ye Jin was also drawn in, so she unbuckled her seatbelt and went over to take a look.

Inside the bathroom, there lay a man's corpse.

"Everyone, make way, I'm a police officer."

Several more people emerged from the crowd, all of whom Ye Jin knew.

Officer Matsumoto, Officer Megure.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or what.

Ye Jin felt that he was comparable to Conan, and had a sense of death.

However, Ye Jin quickly rejected the idea.

He didn't encounter many murder cases, so he couldn't really be considered a grim reaper.

"Mr. Ye Jin, you're here too."

Inspector Megure was slightly surprised to see Ye Jin.

"Yes, I'm planning to go on a trip, and I just happen to be here. What about you? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Ye Jin asked curiously.

"We were just planning to go to the United States to attend a conference and take care of some things, who knew we would run into this kind of trouble."

Inspector Megure was having a huge headache.

His biggest fear was encountering a murder case.

It's good to be able to solve cases, but it's scary to encounter those difficult cases that require a lot of brainpower.

However, the thought that Ye Jin was also here, and was an excellent detective at that, made him realize that there was nothing to worry about.

"Mr. Ye Jin, have you noticed anything unusual? Or do you... know who the murderer is?"

Inspector Megure asked with some anticipation.

Even Officer Matsumoto didn't refuse; he wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, and it would be best if someone could help.

"Of course we didn't find anything. After all, I just arrived. How could I possibly know who the murderer is right away?"

Ye Jin said it as a matter of course.

Inspector Megure's face darkened; it seemed that was indeed the case.

"However, I do know that the deceased was injured by a sharp object. Such things are generally not allowed on airplanes, and even if they were brought on board, they could not be destroyed. You just need to search the area."

Ye Jin continued.

Inspector Megure was enlightened.

He didn't even notice something so important.

"Alright, Inspector Megure, go investigate now and see if there's a murder weapon. I'll search the passengers' luggage."

Officer Matsumoto immediately gave instructions to Inspector Megure, and then prepared to conduct a search.

"Wait, it's not that complicated. I remember only a few people went into the restroom. I know all of them, so we can focus our investigation on them."

Ye Jin spoke again.

Inspector Megure and Inspector Matsumoto were speechless.

You always wait until they're about to take action before you speak up about these things.

Although it was boring, they were still very excited.

After all, having a suspect narrows down the scope of the investigation.

"Do you know who they are?"

"It's very simple, it's this person, that person, and the person from before."

Fortunately, Ye Jin has a good memory, otherwise she really wouldn't have known, let alone been able to help Inspector Megure and the others.

"Thank you so much, Ye Jin!"

Inspector Megure thanked him and then followed behind Inspector Matsumoto, where they found several suspects and questioned them.

Ye Jin was also listening from behind.

"Officers, I just went to the restroom, I didn't do anything, and I didn't know he was in there."

"Yes, this has nothing to do with us. We didn't kill anyone."

“When I arrived, he was inside and still alive, so I definitely didn’t kill him.”

These people, knowing a murder had occurred, quickly offered an explanation.

Ye Jin carefully observed everyone's facial expressions.

Everyone was perfectly normal and quite calm.

"May I search your luggage?"

"That's what Inspector Megure said."

"of course can."

These people naturally had no right to refuse, nor did they want to be suspected.

Therefore, they had no choice but to let Inspector Megure and his colleague search their belongings.

Ye Jin was also watching from behind.

These people's luggage was normal and contained no dangerous items.

That makes sense; if there were dangerous items, they probably wouldn't have been able to bring them along anyway.

The murderer must have had other methods!

"Ye Jin, what did you find out?"

Inspector Megure gently nudged Ye Jin.

Ye Jin was speechless: "..."

These people actually think about relying on him, instead of making any effort themselves.

Chapter 33 Because of them...

“Inspector Megure, the only thing I’m certain of is that none of the things they’re carrying are capable of killing someone.”

Although Ye Jin was speechless, she still spoke up.

Inspector Megure was somewhat disappointed, yet there was nothing he could do.

It's because he didn't know who the murderer was or what the murder weapon was.

Officer Matsumoto said, "Let's continue our investigation."
