"...Actually, I think if someone fell from the 21st floor, this white sheet would be enough to cover them up."

Shiratori Ninzaburo chimed in from the side.

Then he turned to look at the three suspects in the case.

Shimoda Senka, the river rises, and Nakamachi is connected.

He took out his notebook and pen from his pocket, preparing to take notes, and subconsciously asked Kawakami and Nakamachi Michiya, looking very professional.

"The person who just called the police was a man. Mr. Kawakami or Mr. Nakamachi, which one called the police?"

Upon hearing this, Kawakami and Nakamachi exchanged a glance and then shook their heads in unison.

The sight startled Inspector Megure.

Inspector Megure then asked Chika Shimoda, who was standing next to him, who had called the police.

Then Shimoda Chika said somewhat timidly.

"The person who just called the police was a dark-skinned delinquent teenager wearing his hat backwards. He was accompanied by an elementary school student in a blue suit and a strange man carrying a coffee. The strange man even carried the coffee upstairs without spilling a drop. Oh, and there was also a blonde woman with a non-standard Japanese accent, who is Section Chief Takai's neighbor."

Memu Police Department, Shiratori Rensaburo:?

These descriptions immediately evoke Heiji Hattori, Conan, and Chen En.

Why is it you three again?

For the sake of peace and stability in Beika Town, could you please go back to being shut-ins?

Chapter 983 You call Takagi "brother" and me "uncle"? A two-year age difference makes you think there's a generational gap?

When Inspector Megure arrived at the door of the room where the crime scene was located, along with a group of police officers and three suspects...

Jodie, Heiji Hattori, Conan, and Chen En were leaning against the wall, seemingly deep in thought.

The sight startled Inspector Megure.

What are you four doing?

Is this performance art?

Inspector Megure asked with some confusion.

"Brother Chen En, are you just waiting for us to come over outside?"

"Is it because you don't have the key? If you came up earlier, did you see any other people come out of the room, like those who might be suspected of committing a crime? Or were there any suspicious people nearby?"

Hearing this, Chen En shook his head slightly, took a sip of coffee, and then calmly said.

"No one was there; the murderer was not in the room at the time of the incident."

"Apart from that, we've already looked inside. We're just waiting for you to come over so we can wrap things up. Now that Inspector Megure and you're here, let's go in, check the situation, and then prepare to close the case."

That's quite a bold statement of yours.

Inspector Megure couldn't help but think to himself.

Although Chen En is not one of the most famous detectives.

However, judging solely from his skill level as a renowned detective, Inspector Megure believes he is in no way inferior to Kudo or Mori after his slumber.

Others might have sounded arrogant saying this, but Chen En's statement was perfectly apt.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to say it, the moment Chen En said it, he felt that the case was definitely going to be solved.

Inspector Shiratori, standing nearby, merely raised an eyebrow.

He always kept his distance from detectives.

Because he felt that solving cases was an internal matter for the police officers, not a matter for detectives.

Police officers can perform just as well as detectives; they can do what detectives can do. However, he had already witnessed the abilities of these detectives before, so he didn't stop them. Instead, he followed Chen En and the others into the crime scene.

They were prepared to strike first, figure out the method of the case, and beat the detectives to the punch.

As soon as everyone entered the crime scene.

Guided by Chen En, they went directly to the bedroom where the deceased had fallen.

The layout of the deceased's bedroom is puzzling, as the bed was placed horizontally against the wall and under the window, with the window completely unprotected.

Normally, no one would do that, right?

The same question arose in the minds of Inspector Megure and Shiratori Ninzaburo at the same time.

Especially when they saw that there was a small windowsill next to the window, they complained with some doubt.

"What's going on? Why are there two windows in one room?"

"What kind of designer would design a room like this? Aren't they afraid it won't sell?"

This isn't how you ventilate.

At this point, Inspector Megure glanced at Jodie beside him.

He heard from Chika Shimoda that Judy was also a resident of the building and a neighbor of the deceased. Perhaps Judy would have a different perspective on this situation.

However, Judy clearly has no intention of stepping forward at this time.

She simply observed Chen En, Conan, and Hattori Heiji as always.

How will these three detectives solve the case?

To my shame, Judy still hasn't figured out how the murderer committed the crime, even though she entered five or six minutes earlier than Chen En and the other two.

"The two windows are important, but they are not the focus right now."

"Inspector Megure, you'll see once you come and take a look."

Heiji Hattori leaned against the wall by the window, pointing backwards with his thumb at the curtains hanging above the window. Sometime during the night, his hat had been turned right-side up.

As everyone knows, when Hattori Heiji straightens his hat, it means he's getting serious.

Although the Osaka Prefectural Police officers and Kazuha Toyama were well aware of this, Inspector Megure completely failed to understand what it meant and even gave a word of advice as he walked over.

"Detective Hattori, your hat looks like it's on straight."

Hattori Heiji:?

What do you mean by that?

If you don't wear your hat properly, are you supposed to wear it backwards?

Shiratori Renzaburo, standing nearby, also looked at Inspector Megure with some confusion, unable to understand what Inspector Megure meant.

However, when he looked at the curtains as Hattori Heiji had said, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. After taking out gloves from his pocket and putting them on, he touched the curtain rod.

A hole was drilled at the very top of the curtain, and a metal ring was inserted into the hole to hang the rod and secure the curtain.

However, three or four of the metal rings on the curtains have already fallen off.

The curtain rod was clearly tilted, and the curtains showed signs of being torn and damaged.

Upon seeing this, Shiratori Ninzaburo immediately realized that the deceased had probably grabbed a corner of the curtain before falling, but the curtain did not provide enough strength to pull him down.

Ultimately, the deceased fell down with that section of the curtain.

His brow furrowed slightly, and then he asked.

"It seems that the deceased was pushed or had an accident by the window and fell involuntarily, which is why he subconsciously used this method to survive."

"However, Mr. Chen En, you previously said that there were no other suspicious persons near the crime scene, and no one came out of the room. Does that mean that the deceased must have fallen from the room by accident?"

Conan shook his head at this and said in a low voice.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Shiratori."

"Uncle Shiratori, didn't you notice that something's not quite right here?"

"This was told to me by Brother Chen En. I want Uncle Shiratori to try to guess it too. Maybe once you figure it out, all the difficulties in this case will be solved."

The thought of Conan speaking in a low voice sends chills down my spine.

Shiratori Ninzaburo shivered, glanced at Conan, and then suppressed his unease.

He glanced around the room but didn't see anything unusual. He was also a little annoyed that Conan called Takagi Wataru "brother" and him "uncle".

Damn it, he's 28 and Takagi is 26, only two years apart, so how come he's an uncle and an older brother?

However, after walking around the entire room, Shiratori Ninzaburo noticed something was amiss. He squatted down, wiped the floor with his white gloves, and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the dust on his fingers.

Inspector Megure also noticed Shiratori Ninzaburo's unusual behavior and turned to ask him what he had discovered.

Shiratori Ninzaburo, however, affirmed this.

"Inspector Megure, this is a heinous murder case."

"Now I know how the killer set up this trap."

Chapter 984 Oh my god, how come the quality of the products from Beika Town is so good?

The three suspects in the case were waiting outside the victim's room.

After receiving instructions from Shiratori Ninzaburo, the forensic officers filed in, pointed out various suspicious points about Shiratori Ninzaburo, took photos as evidence, and prepared to add them to the file and submit them to their superiors.

Watching the numerous police officers coming and going.

All three suspects showed signs of impatience.

As key witnesses and suspects in the case, they should be playing a very important role, but the police have only gathered them together and haven't questioned them yet.

Is this a deliberate attempt to ignore their existence?

Nakamachi Michiya's face clearly showed impatience, and Kawakami Noboru's face was even more so.

Chika Shimoda is slightly better, but only slightly.
