Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

"He took a fatal blow! It looks like he won't be able to stand up."

"If you want to win, you have to give him a fatal blow before he stands up."

"Hit him! Quick! Hey, what is he doing?"

At this moment, an electronic sound came from the game: "Dangdangdang, DRAW!"

Seeing that the final result was a draw, the audience looked at "Caesar" in confusion, who clearly had the advantage but ended up with a draw.

"Come on, are you kidding me? Didn't he win by giving him a fatal blow just now?"

"Wait...he seems to be in a weird state!"

"what happened to him?"

In the combat simulator chair, the man wearing a gaming helmet lay motionless, his eyes wide open, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his face was stiff and blue.

I don't know when, he died.

……

The police arrived quickly.

More than ten minutes later, Inspector Megure and his subordinates rushed into the game hall.

After noticing that Xiaolan was also at the scene, Inspector Megure asked her about the situation.

"Just when we were about to win, the game character suddenly stopped attacking and didn't fight any further." Xiaolan explained, looking at the deceased: "When we looked at him again, we found that he was already like this..."

"The deceased was named Oto Kengo, 21 years old." Officer Takagi reported the results of the investigation to Officer Megure in a low voice: "He was unemployed, had bad behavior, and had a bad reputation in this arcade."

"I see." Inspector Megure nodded. "So, he's made quite a few enemies here."

"Mori-san, are you familiar with this police officer?" Judy, who was standing behind Xiaolan, suddenly asked quietly.

304. Inspector Megure learns foreign languages

"Yeah." Xiaolan explained: "Inspector Megure was my father's boss when he worked at the Metropolitan Police Department."

Seeing Inspector Megure looking over, Xiaolan introduced: "Inspector Megure, this is our school's English teacher."

"English teacher?" Inspector Megure was a little surprised.

"Yes!" Judy said in Japanese with an English accent, "Please introduce yourself. My name is Judy Saint-Timilian. Thank you for your guidance."

"My name is Junzou Megure." Inspector Megure said seriously, introducing himself in English with a Japanese accent: "I am a Japanese policeman~"

"Police?" Judy also looked serious and corrected Inspector Megure's pronunciation: "No, no, no, the correct pronunciation is 'Policemen'!"

"Po...Po~lice...men?" Inspector Megure tried hard to imitate, but his accent became even stranger.

"No, No, Policemen! Ok?"

"Policemen...~"

"Officer, officer..." Officer Takagi laughed dryly, reminding Officer Megure that the current situation was not suitable for learning a foreign language.

Inspector Megure's eyes narrowed, and he quickly coughed twice to ease the awkwardness: "Ahem... Anyway, the focus of the investigation now is how this person died in the amusement park."

"Yes..." Officer Takagi, in coordination with his superior, returned to the main topic. "According to the people at the arcade, there weren't any particularly suspicious people there at the time. Also, the deceased didn't eat while playing games, so suicide should be ruled out."

"Hmm..." Inspector Megure looked at the gaming helmet the deceased was wearing. "But what's with that outfit? It's like he's in a sci-fi movie."

The clerk next to him quickly explained, "This is a virtual reality game. When you are attacked by an opponent, you will also receive the same damage at the same time."

"Will the players also be harmed?" Inspector Megure asked.

"Yes, for example, if the opponent launches a leg attack on the screen and the player uses his foot to deflect the impact, the player sitting in front of the screen will also receive the same amount of damage as the character on the screen."

"Could it be..." Inspector Megure asked doubtfully, "The cause of his death was because the trauma was too severe?"

"That's absolutely impossible." A man walked forward, chewing gum. "Although it hurts, it's just a slight vibration, like the vibration of a cell phone. How could it kill someone?"

"Excuse me, who are you?" Inspector Megure looked at him.

"I was the one who fought him when he died, and I don't want to be considered a suspect." The man chewed his gum as he spoke. "And it was me who got beaten just now! My attacks were only effective two or three times, and the rest of the time I was just chewing gum. It makes me angry."

"Is that so?" Inspector Megure turned and asked Xiaolan.

"Well, I remember that when they were fighting, it did feel one-sided..." Xiaolan said.

Inspector Megure looked troubled: "In this case, the cause of his death is indeed a mystery."

Officer Takagi echoed, "There were no obvious external injuries on the deceased's body."

"Could it be poisoning?" Judy suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Huh?" Inspector Megure was stunned and looked at Judy in confusion.

Judy explained, "It looked like the deceased had died of suffocation, but there were no signs of strangulation on his neck, so I wondered if he had died of poisoning."

Inspector Megure shook his head: "The deceased died suddenly while playing games, and he didn't eat anything in the middle. If he had eaten before, his face would have looked very bad, and the guests next to him would have noticed it."

"No, no, no." Judy stretched out her index finger and shook it. "I'm not talking about poisoning the food. I'm talking about injecting the poison into the body with a syringe."

Inspector Megure smiled. "If that's the case, then the deceased should have made a sound or some other reaction if he felt pricked."

Judy reminded him, "Officer, because a murder has occurred, all the game equipment here has been turned off, so it's so quiet. It was very noisy before. And the deceased's hands and feet were tightly tied to the game equipment, so there was no way he could move freely."

"I see." Officer Takagi said, understandingly, "In that noisy environment, even if the deceased groaned, no one else would have heard it."

Inspector Megure nodded slightly. "Then send the body for an autopsy to determine the cause of death first."

"Yes." A policeman hurried out to make a phone call.

Toru Watanabe glanced at Judy who seemed to be in deep thought. He had thought that without Conan, the plague god, it would be extremely difficult for the police to solve the case. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, this female FBI investigator took action.

"Let's filter and screen the suspects first." Officer Megure said to Officer Takagi.

Officer Takagi lowered his voice, "But there are at least 30 people here. It might be difficult to filter and identify the suspect."

"It's okay, there are surveillance cameras here." Judy pointed at the camera on the ceiling with a smile.

Officer Gao Mu immediately asked the clerk, "Excuse me, did your store record the footage captured by this camera?"

"Yes, we do." The clerk nodded.

"Then please take us to watch the videotape."

. ...... ...

"Okay, please follow me."

When the police checked the surveillance footage and people around started to move around, they suddenly heard strange noises, like metal knocking or friction, one after another, so slight that no one even noticed.

……

After watching the surveillance video, the autopsy results came out. Just as Judy guessed, the deceased died of poisoning. A needle hole was found on the inside of his right upper arm.

But there is still no clue about the murderer.

Just when the police were at a loss and Judy fell silent, Watanabe Toru suddenly said to Xiaolan, "Sister Xiaolan, why is it that when we watch people playing games on the screen, the screen doesn't show which game character the player is using?"

A question that seemed normal and ordinary to others made Judy stunned for a moment when she heard it, and then she showed a thoughtful expression.

Watanabe Toru's hints only go so far. If Judy still can't find anything strange, or she doesn't intend to assist the police, then let the police worry about it. Kogoro Mouri is not here, and Watanabe Toru has no intention of stepping forward, let alone in front of the FBI.

"I don't know. Maybe it's to make the game more interesting for people watching it." Xiaolan guessed.

Watanabe Cheuk-ah exclaimed, his expression suddenly enlightened: "So that's how it is."

"In short, for the sake of caution, we will conduct individual questioning of each of you." Officer Megure looked at the several suspects who were most likely to be the murderer through the surveillance and said solemnly, "Please cooperate with us."

305: Xiao Ai's Trembling

"Inspector Megure, I don't think that's necessary." Judy's glasses reflected a faint light, making her look sharp and confident. Although her tone was strange, her seriousness made people ignore the strangeness. "I already know who the murderer is."

"Huh?" Inspector Megure looked at Judy in astonishment and repeated her words: "You said you know who the murderer is?"

"Yes." Judy nodded and told Inspector Megure and others her reasoning in detail.

By the way, in order to better demonstrate the modus operandi, Xiaolan and Officer Takagi played the roles of the deceased and the murderer and had a game duel.

"Mr. Shimizu." Judy folded her arms and looked sternly at one of the suspects, Takashi Shimizu. "Your fingerprint will definitely be found on that coin."

Inspector Megure couldn't help but remind him: "But if we don't test it, we still can't be sure of "300"..."

"No, Mr. Shimizu didn't know the clerk had cleaned the coin box. He probably thought it wouldn't matter if he found a coin with his fingerprint in it. And since he wasn't wearing gloves, his fingerprints would definitely be left behind."

At this point, Judy suddenly realized that her performance seemed a bit too much. She immediately restrained her serious aura and said to Inspector Megure with a smile: "Oh, I think that should be the case. The officer just needs to investigate and he will know the answer."

Officer Memu: "..."

"Yes, there are indeed my fingerprints..."

Shimizu Takashi pleaded guilty.

The motive for the murder was that after his sister started dating the deceased, he worked non-stop for a month and hardly ate anything in order to help the deceased repay the huge debts he owed from horse racing and racing.

"Can you imagine?" Shimizu Takao said with a complicated expression, "In this day and age, there are actually people who are almost blind due to vitamin E deficiency caused by malnutrition..."

"Even so, my silly sister still doesn't want to leave him. That guy said that as long as I beat him once, he will be willing to break up with my sister."

Shimizu Takashi looked at the game console next to him. "To defeat him, I worked hard to improve my skills and even earned the title of 'Beihu Lutas,' but even then I still couldn't beat him, so I killed him. But to be honest, I regret it now, because I've ruined my chance to defeat 'Rice Flower Caesar' myself."

……

The incident was resolved, and Xiaolan and the others left the arcade. Walking on the street, Xiaolan said to Judy with admiration on her face: "Teacher Judy, I didn't expect you to be so good, just like a female detective."

Judy smiled and said, "Because I like reading mystery books and watching TV, I never thought I could help the police. I'm so happy."

"Teacher Judy's reasoning is not inferior to that guy Kudo." Sonoko nudged Xiaolan with her shoulder and winked teasingly.

"Kudo?" Judy was stunned.

"He's Xiaolan's boyfriend." Sonoko explained with a smile: "He's also a detective, but he hasn't been to school for a long time."

"Huh? So you have a boyfriend, Maori." Judy looked at Xiaolan in surprise.

Xiaolan quickly waved her hands: "No, Teacher Judy, Shinichi and I are just friends, don't listen to what Sonoko says."

"Oh~" Judy smiled knowingly and put her index finger to her lips: "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

Xiaolan: "..."

Several people parted at the crossroads.

"Teacher Judy, we'll be leaving first." Sonoko waved her hand.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Judy also waved, leaned over, and touched Watanabe Toru's head: "Cool kid, see you next time."

Watanabe Toru glanced at the deep cleavage on her chest and replied obediently, "Goodbye, Teacher Judy."

……

into the night.

In an apartment building.

Judy, who had just finished taking a shower, sat on the sofa and talked to Shuichi Akai on the phone.

"Yes, I helped the police from Wano Country solve a murder case today. Don't worry, I have told those police officers not to disclose my information."

"We are operating in Wano Country, so we will inevitably have to deal with the local police. The help we provide them today may earn us their support in the future."

"Besides, the fish has taken the bait. It seems I made the right choice to become a teacher at Teitan High School. Don't worry, I'll be careful. What's the abbreviation for the target? Well... Rottenapple, let's call it 'Rotten Apple' for now..."

……

Saturday, April 1.

On the bus to the ski resort, Dr. Agasa kept sneezing.

"Doctor, are you really okay?" Ayumi, who was sitting in the front seat, turned around and asked with concern.

"No...it's okay! A-choo!" Dr. Agasa said, sneezed again, and wiped his red nose with a handkerchief.

Sitting in the aisle seat, Huiyuan Ai said sadly, "He deserves it. It's his own fault. He made the doctor watch a skiing tutorial video until midnight last night."

"I can't help it." Dr. Agasa explained with a dry laugh: "As an adult, I should learn first and set a good example for the children."

"But when you get there, you have to sleep well in the house." Ayumi warned seriously: "Let Xiaoche teach us how to ski."
