"Are you Shinichi or Conan now?"
Chapter 135 If the real murderer is not the real murderer
"Dulululu~"
"Hello, I'm Officer Megure. What? Okay, stay there and don't move. I'll be right over."
Inspector Megure put down the phone in his hand and apologized to everyone present:
"Sorry, there's a case I need to look after, so I'll have to excuse myself for now."
"What's wrong, Inspector Megure? Has another case happened?" asked Kogoro Mouri in confusion.
According to Kogoro's past work experience, when the inspector is already at a crime scene, it is impossible for him to receive calls about other cases. After all, there are more than one police team in the Investigation Section 1, and Inspector Megure was forced to commit to the Investigation Section 3. Even if other teams have tasks, they should not contact Inspector Megure again, unless...
"Could it be that something happened to that Ikezawa Yuko?"
Kogoro slapped his head, came up with a reasonable explanation, and said it immediately:
"It must be that Ikezawa Yuko. After impulsively killing someone, she learned that the police had found her, so she committed suicide out of fear of punishment!!"
After saying that, Kogoro looked at Okino Yoko with a smile, as if he wanted to take credit for it.
It left everyone present speechless.
The police just went out to look for Yuko Ikezawa. No matter how fast they were, they wouldn't find her now unless they found her nearby. But if they were nearby, they would have used the police walkie-talkie directly. How could they have contacted her using a mobile phone?
Conan leaned on his hands, his eyes wandering between the suspected agent and Okino Yoko, while waiting for Inspector Megure to return.
Fortunately, Inspector Megure was away for a short time. In other words, it took only the time it took to go up and down the elevator for Inspector Megure to return to the crime scene.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I found a witness who is said to have clues to this case."
Following Inspector Megure's words, everyone's gaze turned to the two people following behind him.
"It's him!"
Conan looked at Kazuhiro's appearance in shock, and also noticed Kazuhiro was Maori Ran who was standing behind Conan and watching over the children.
Zhixing followed Officer Li and, under the guidance of Officer Megure, entered the crime scene.
With just one glance, Zhixing could clearly see the situation in the entire room.
Several police officers in blue uniforms were standing guard and searching in the room. A man in a suit and another beautiful woman were standing very close to each other. They should be the suspect in this case, the agent and idol Yoko Okino.
And then...
Zhixing looked at the girl he had met once, who was still in school uniform, then lowered his gaze to see the child who was looking at him in shock.
"I can't believe your child is already that big?"
"Where is Shinichi? Well, you should know where he is. Please tell me where Shinichi is.
Mao Lilan ignored Zhixing's teasing and didn't even try to defend herself. She immediately bent down to Zhixing.
Zhi Xing frowned at Mao Lilan's performance, then looked at Okino Yoko who was about to ask him a question. While sighing inwardly that her prepared interruption was not picked up, she responded:
"I'm sorry, right now I'm just a witness to this case, so we can talk about other things after the case is over."
With Conan's short height advantage, it was easy to see the tears dripping from Xiaolan's face when she bent down. Those were the tears she shed because she felt that Shinichi might have no hope.
Conan wanted to loudly refute that the other party was a liar and that he was actually still alive, but when he opened his mouth, he asked in a childish voice:
"Sister Xiaolan, don't cry. That person made you cry. He must be a bad person. I'm going to help you vent your anger!"
After saying that, he ran to find the paper shop to ask for clarification, but before Conan could take a few steps, Xiaolan stopped him with both hands.
"No, I didn't cry because he ignored me. I wasn't bullied."
As she spoke, Xiaolan squatted down, wiped her tears, stroked Conan's head and said:
"I'm just thinking of my brother Shinichi, so I'm a little sad. If he were here, he would be able to solve a case like this in no time."
"I will definitely come back! Don't worry!"
Conan broke free from Xiaolan's arms and spoke to her affirmatively.
"Yes, that guy will definitely rush over here without stopping when he hears there's a case here. Thank you, Conan."
Although Xiaolan responded to Conan in a coaxing tone, she felt the exact opposite in her heart.
How could I show such bad emotions in front of a child? This is already a crime scene. I can't bring psychological trauma to this child. I have to smile quickly.
After wiping her tears, Mao Lilan forced a smile, but her eyes involuntarily turned to the side and looked towards the paper bank.
Conan, who has a child's body but a high school student's heart, naturally noticed Xiaolan's gaze and followed Xiaolan's gaze to see the paper line.
"Okay, that's it. These are the five locations. After that, we just have to wait for the last person related to the incident to come over, and for the sixth clue to be found in the victim's room."
Zhixing said to Officer Li behind him.
Officer Li glanced at Inspector Megure, and after getting Megure's nod of approval, Officer Li immediately called a police officer from the Forensic Department to mark and put up signs at the several places mentioned by the paper shop.
The other people present also followed the actions of the Forensic Department and looked at these clues.
The chair, the pit, the air conditioner, the location of the knife, and the comb.
Could this be the case? But why, why would they do this? Is there any motive that can convince everyone? Conan, who knew more about the clue of the hair than everyone else, watched the clues being marked one by one and immediately understood the name of the murderer that the paper company would say.
"Hey, are you a reliable guy? Why did you go out of your way to find these things?"
Kogoro Mouri saw that Zhixing seemed to be recognized by the two police officers as soon as he came in, and he directly gave orders to the people in the forensic department. He immediately became a little dissatisfied. After all, he was a former policeman after all, but when he asked people to find the third suspect just now, none of the police listened to him.
"That's weird. If I remember correctly, this is the 25th floor. There's no way anyone could see what's going on in the room. But the clue he's referring to isn't outside, but something inside."
Maori Kogoro walked up to Okino Yoko while speaking, pointed at the paper line with a confident expression and shouted:
"This guy must be the stalker who's been harassing Miss Yoko!"
"What!" Except for Zhixing, Conan and Xiaolan who knew Zhixing's background, and the two police officers, everyone else was shocked.
"He must have stolen the key and waited in the house for Yoko to come home, but he ran into the deceased and stabbed her in the back as she was escaping in order to silence her."
"After hastily handling the scene, he noticed that the police were investigating the situation, so he came over uncomfortably and tried to use his identity as an eyewitness to guide us to the conclusion he wanted!"
"Um, Maori brother..."
"Clap clap clap!"
Inspector Megure listened to Kogoro Mouri's unreliable reasoning and wanted to bring Kogoro to his side for an explanation, but he didn't expect that he was interrupted by applause from the paper shop before he opened his mouth.
"As expected of the famous detective Maori Kogoro, he is indeed quite something."
"Hahahaha, it's your bad luck to meet me, Maori Kogoro. I can easily handle any case with one move."
Kogoro Mouri laughed proudly to the sky, and at the same time did not forget to brag about himself to Yoko.
"Dad, you misunderstood Mr. Kamijou." Ran Mouri loudly objected to Kogoro Mouri's reasoning from a distance.
“Eh? Kamijou... sir?”
Kogoro looked at everyone with a puzzled look on his face, and finally his eyes fell on Zhixing, who had never introduced himself at the beginning.
"Yes, it's a long story, but Kamijou-san was at the police station on another case during that time, so he didn't have time to commit the crime."
Inspector Megure also added a sentence, and the accompanying Inspector Li, thinking about the two days when Zhixing was missing, was a little reluctant to agree, but this kind of thing could only be discussed quietly with Inspector Megure later, and it was not appropriate to talk about it in front of so many ordinary people.
Seeing that Maori Kogoro's reasoning was about to be overturned, Shixing defended Kogoro:
"Don't say that. He's right about one thing, at least. I was pointing out specific clues to get the results I wanted."
"Then why do you know the clues in the room? Mr. Maori's statement about you may not be correct, but his starting point is real."
Yoko Okino, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but speak up to support Kogoro Mori.
"That's right, how are you going to explain this problem?"
When Mao Li heard Yoko's agreement, he immediately straightened his back and asked.
Zhixing looked at Kogoro and Yoko, then turned his head, passed by Inspector Megure and Inspector Li, and finally stopped at Mao Lilan who was with Conan, with a smile on his face, he said:
"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you. Half the people here already know, so there's nothing left to hide."
"My name is Kamijou Touma. I'm a future man sent to this era by the Future Agency for experiments."
You haven't hidden anything at all! A group of people who had heard about Zhixing's personality before complained in their hearts.
On the other side, Kogoro Mori and the other two, who heard about it for the first time, were shocked.
Reason told them that this was impossible, but seeing that the people opposite did not show any shock, and even the two police officers who brought the paper did not directly refute this obvious lie, they did not dare to deny the identity of the future man for a while.
"What do you mean by future man? Is this how you police officers handle cases? And you brought me all the way here to participate in this farce."
Zhixing frowned and turned to look towards the door.
Led by several police officers, a woman dressed like she was attending a ball walked in and looked at everyone in the room.
"Ahem, let's put Kamijou's affairs aside for now and discuss the case first. Ms. Ikezawa Yuko, we heard that you and Ms. Okino Yoko had a conflict over the role of the heroine, correct?"
"correct!"
Ikezawa admitted it generously, and then, just as Zhixing knew, he firmly denied that he had ever been to this room, and said that the earrings found in the room were lost items.
It was as if the suspect was already in place. Shortly after Yuko Ikezawa came in, the police had already found the identity of the victim and quickly reported it, forcing Yoko to admit that she was in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with the victim.
Zhixing leaned silently against the wall, watching the communication between the new suspect and Inspector Megure. Then, when Conan used the toilet to relieve his stress, he saw Conan's hand, which was holding his chin, separate from his chin, with an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"Um, Kamijou-san, right?"
Zhixing turned around when he heard the call and saw the agent of one of the least noticeable suspects coming to his side.
"I'm Yoko's agent. I want to know if what you just said is true? Are you really from the future?"
"As you can see, no one actually believes I'm from the future. Isn't this being verified?"
Zhixing gestured to the two police officers who were waiting for suspect number three to come out for questioning, and responded indifferently.
"So, do you know who the criminal is?"
The agent rubbed his hands nervously and looked into the paper company's eyes and asked.
Zhixing glanced at the agent, then looked at the clues in the room that were exactly the same as the original plot, and the child who had already started looking for throwing props.
"Don't worry, that person didn't do it."
The man pointed at the actress who had not used the restroom and gave the agent an answer.
"Huh~ Really? That's great."
The agent was relieved after getting the answer. After all, the deceased was holding Yoko's hair, which made him recognize who the victim was, and at the same time, he also suspected that the murderer might be someone like Yoko.
"That's what I thought."
Zhixing paused deliberately and then said this.
"If you hadn't asked me who the murderer was."
The agent had just breathed a sigh of relief, but the paper company brought it up again.
"What does this mean? Aren't you from the future? Since the police officer can guarantee your alibi, then the only way you got the answer is from the future, right? Why don't you recognize the murderer?"
"Tsk tsk tsk~"
Zhixing raised a finger, imitating Shinichi's signature gesture that hadn't appeared since the beginning, and said to his agent with a joking tone:
"I did see the clues to the deduction and the identity of the criminal directly from the future. Logically, I should have just copied the answers."
"But who says that the criminal caught at the crime scene is the real criminal?"
Zhi Xing leaned over to the nervous agent's ear and whispered:
"After this incident, please help me spread the word. I can't guarantee who the murderer is or when he committed the crime, but I can be sure of one thing."
Using the paper bank's method of elimination, the agent understood what was going on and looked at the human figure drawn on the floor with chalk.
"I know who the victims are."
Chapter 136 The World Has Changed
"Isn't it incredible that a victim who was attacked from behind and died instantly could grab the murderer's hair?" This reasoning came from the direction where Kogoro Mouri was sitting.
"That's true..." Inspector Megure let go of his hand that was grabbing his agent's collar and watched Kogoro Mouri's performance.
"The murderer deliberately arranged for this to be a homicide...in order to frame Miss Yoko."
"It was arranged to be...homicide! Could it be... could it be..."
"Yes, the murderer is... the deceased Fujie Akiyoshi himself!!"
