"Suicide...?!"
Everyone present was shocked by the result and was deeply attracted by Kogoro Mori's reasoning.
Except for Officer Li who already knew the answer, and Paper Shop, who was left alone because his agent was asked by Officer Megure to choose one of the three suspects.
Well, the cases that I have never encountered before are exactly the same. Moreover, there is no early appearance of the three little ones here, which means that this is the plot of the comics. In other words, Miyano Akemi’s story should be very close. How many cases are there in between?
Zhixing looked at the reactions of the people present, his mind already drifting to future developments, and he had no intention of listening to the following speeches.
Another person who was also not paying attention to the speech was Officer Li from the paper shop. Because suicide was mentioned, he came to his senses and looked around. Finally, he found Officer Li at the wall farthest from Kogoro Mouri.
"Is this the suicide case you were talking about?"
Officer Li broke away from the crowd, approached Zhihang and asked in a low voice.
"Yeah, this kind of suicide, compared to other common ones, should be enough to keep me here, right?"
"That's impossible." Officer Li glanced at the location of the body and then explained, "Although this incident was staged by the victim himself, leading to it being treated as a criminal case, the conclusion of suicide was reached too quickly!"
"If this conclusion is reached through interviews and comparative investigations, then you can stay as a witness and avoid being taken away by the embassy while the case is still unclear."
"Will he still be taken away?"
"of course!"
Zhi Xing folded his arms, held his chin, and asked uncertainly:
"Even if I really predicted a [case] that didn't happen, with the [time], [place], [people], [cause], [process], and [result], and obviously knew more about the future, like the list in the Death Note, that wouldn't stop me?"
"this"
Officer Li hesitated, apparently remembering the list that he had not taken seriously.
"Maybe if I report this to my superiors, they'll come forward to stop the embassy staff, but I won't do that."
After thinking it over again and again, Officer Li suddenly made a decision and spoke frankly to Zhihang.
"Why? If I could reach people at a higher level, then the scope of my influence would be even greater. Then I would be able to judge whether fate could be changed."
"No, if you really are from the future, then you should return home."
Officer Li glanced at everyone present and said to Zhihang in a lower voice:
“Even if you can’t bring the technology of the future, just the news is enough.”
"Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, viruses, major traffic accidents and other natural and man-made disasters, even if people can prepare just one second earlier, that is definitely a good thing."
Zhihang looked at Officer Li's behavior of abusing his power for personal gain and refused without thinking:
"Precisely because the casualties from natural disasters, man-made calamities, and accidents are so high, I need to conduct experiments, and conduct sufficient experiments. Otherwise, if the results remain the same, do you think I should still disclose it, causing those who would otherwise have sacrificed to tremble in fear, and causing those who could be saved to suffer?"
I'm not a real person from the future. If I hadn't already found a reason to experiment, I probably wouldn't have been able to refuse. All I know from beginning to end is the story of Conan.
Seeing that Officer Li seemed to want to say something, Zhihang immediately interrupted him:
"I know what to do. You don't need to waste time."
As Zhixing spoke, he walked past Officer Li and came to the focal point where everyone was gathered.
"So... this is a tragedy woven together by lies, misunderstandings, and coincidences..."
Inspector Megure couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the diary his officers had found from the victim's home.
The agent who made up the lie, Yoko who misunderstood and didn't listen to her ex-boyfriend's explanation, and Yuko who was accidentally caught in the act by the victim, all lowered their heads and were reluctant to express their thoughts.
"This is clue six. If you include the new testimony, it's clue seven. Collecting all seven clues will eventually lead to this answer."
The sound of the paper bank attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Hmm... the clues you mentioned are indeed true. Everything is exactly as you said beforehand."
Inspector Megure looked at the diary in his hand and reluctantly agreed with the diary's prediction.
Zhi Xing glanced at everyone present and saw that everyone was looking over. Even Conan, who was hiding behind a chair, stood up and looked at him solemnly. He couldn't help but open his arms with a hint of excitement and announced:
"Then, as people from the future who already know the outcome, knowing which evidence will lead to what conclusions the investigators will deduce, are you capable of proving my innocence?"
Because the paper merchant's remarks were too provocative, even the sound of Kogoro Mouri being woken up by cigarette burns did not divert everyone's astonished gaze.
After a long while, Inspector Megure asked with embarrassment:
"Kamijo-san, what do you mean? Isn't it obvious now? The culprit is the victim himself."
"Yes, based on the existing evidence."
""
Ikezawa Yuko entered the room halfway through, so she didn't hear Zhixing's explanation of her identity, and asked in confusion:
"Where did you come from, you liar? Are you the family member of that Maori detective? Stop causing trouble here!"
"You can treat me as the real murderer of this incident, as the criminal who disguised the victim's suicide as a homicide. Anyway, I will not admit that such a thing happened."
""
Okino Yoko held her own hands and asked excitedly to the paper:
"So, when you said you knew all this, you meant you knew Mingyi would be in trouble today, and you let Mingyi get into trouble, right?"
"Not only that, the officer behind me tried to intervene, but I refused to disclose the truth, so he could only sit there and wait for the body to be discovered."
Yoko covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, even more than when she learned the identity of the victim.
The agent at the side stepped forward and comforted him:
"Yoko, don't be misled by that guy. Even if he claims to be from the future, he can't actually remember everything. As my agent, I guarantee that with his IQ and memory, he's only a bit player who can't remember the script."
"Wow, as expected of an agent who noticed the victim's hair in his hand the first time, his observation skills are indeed excellent. That's right, even if I were asked to recite this kind of thing, I probably wouldn't be able to remember it. So I don't participate in the deduction, I just want to understand the clues left by the case."
Having said this, Zhi Xing paused for a moment, and then said in a more serious tone:
"After all, the information I obtained was collected for me by the Future Agency, and it is the script that best fits my own capabilities."
""
"Uh, what is everyone talking about? Why are they looking so weird?"
Kogoro Mouri looked confused as he saw everyone gathering around the paper shop and expressed his genuine doubts.
Zhixing glanced at Kogoro Mouri, and then saw Ran Mouri rushing towards Kogoro Mouri. He ignored the apparent hero of this case and turned to look at Officer Li.
Feeling Zhihang's gaze, Officer Li couldn't help but step forward. He wanted to pull Zhihang aside to talk, but Zhihang refused with his hand. So he had no choice but to ask:
"You obviously have nothing to do with this case anymore, so why are you suddenly saying this? What's your purpose?"
"Isn't this obvious? If the victim committed suicide, I'll be taken away by the embassy tomorrow. So, just turn it back into a homicide case. That way, they can keep me here tomorrow under the guise of an investigation, right? Or do you have any other good ideas?"
""
Seeing that everyone present had fallen silent after asking the question to Zhixing, Inspector Megure coughed and was about to speak when he heard a child's voice shouting:
"Hey, big brother didn't come over at noon, right? Didn't that sister just meet the brother lying on the ground at noon?"
Zhi Xing felt goose bumps all over his body, but he still resisted the urge to hug himself. He squatted down and looked Conan in the eyes for the first time. After thinking for a while, he said:
"That's because, of course, I was chosen by the Future Agency as one of the reasons."
"I know magic that is beyond the reach of common sense."
Zhixing exaggeratedly described his own abilities with his hands, but Zhixing didn't know the kind of magic that Kaito could use to prove his identity, so Zhixing could only add:
"My magic can make those [Alibi], [Secret Room], [Suicide], [Death Message], etc., all have no effect as they should. You probably don't want to see this, right, Edogawa Conan."
""
Conan wanted to say something, but all of this was interrupted by Zhixing's call.
I clearly didn't introduce myself to you, and when Xiaolan called me, she just called me Conan. Why did he make up my last name after knowing it? Did someone just tell Kamijou? Or
"Well, although Kamijou-san has raised a possibility, whether it's that possibility or the current judgment, it has been proven that the three of you are not the murderer, right? In that case, can everyone go back first? I remember Miss Yuko has things to do."
Ran Mouri, who had just told Kogoro Mouri what had just happened and was cheering her father up, looked at the time and couldn't help but speak to Inspector Megure.
""
Zhixing squatted down and looked up at Mouri Ran, only to see that Mouri Ran ignored his gaze and stared at Inspector Megure.
"Ahem, that's true. It's already this late. Since no one is a suspect, let's go home first and wait for notification before going to the police station to give a statement."
"As for Kamijou-kun's case, which involves other matters, we won't discuss it here."
After saying that, Officer Li took Zhixing out of the crime scene at the signal of Officer Megure.
Before leaving, Zhi Xing looked back at Mao Li Ran, waiting for her questioning.
But let alone any doubts about whether he was the murderer, even his initial eagerness to ask Shinichi for information disappeared completely, and he watched Zhixing being taken away with a very calm look.
Could it be that Conan's flaw was discovered by Xiaolan right at the beginning?
Although he still had doubts in his heart and didn't want to end it so hastily, Zhixing was not as strong as Officer Li who had received formal training in a police academy. He was taken away from the crime scene directly and reunited with the people in the six police cars that escorted Zhixing, and then returned to the police station belonging to the Second Foreign Affairs Division.
At the same time that Zhixing was taken back to the detention room by Officer Li himself, his backpack was separated from him as a detained item.
Before leaving, Officer Li did not forget to ask his colleagues on duty to stand guard at the door of the detention room, and threatened that people from the embassy would definitely come to take the paper bank away tomorrow.
But the paper company did not care about this kind of thing. After all, Officer Li's position was not that of a police captain, so he could not influence the movements of the embassy.
"It's troublesome. The incident is over, but I'm still here."
"Aren't you satisfied with the unit drama format?"
Zhixing thought about how he would count down from time to time while working on a case, and before it was taken away, he saw the time of "3d3:33:21" on the last count. After calculating that his current time was approximately 21:53, he couldn't help but pat himself on the back and prepared to work all night.
Although the future agency is a fake setting, I have actually skipped time.
According to the statistics of a certain app that I had read before, Conan was involved in nearly 300 murders, but Conan was only around for less than half a year.
In other words, it is not certain whether the time anomaly is conditional on death.
Zhixing recalled the four days he had experienced.
The shooting victim, the shooting murderer, the roller coaster, and the idol boyfriend just now.
One person died every day for 4 days. Could it really be a coincidence?
Zhihang held this question in his mind and waited boringly until he got the result he wanted. However, this result was far beyond Zhihang's expectations.
"twenty three..."
The paper line peeked at the clock in the hall through the gaps in the iron railings, counting down to the arrival of midnight.
Then, looking at the security guard on duty who was watching him at the entrance of the hall, he spat out the last number "0!"
In an instant, unlike the twisted lines of the witch's barrier, an inexplicable black color rushed out from nowhere, dyeing Zhi Xing's vision black.
"What's going on? Is this the space-time channel?"
In this pure black vision, Zhixing instinctively turned his head to confirm whether his eyes were blocked or it was really pitch black.
So, with the feeling that Zhixing wanted most, in the impulse that I could go back, Zhixing saw it.
In a pitch-black world, there was a white figure doing something in the distance.
Chapter 137: Meeting Conan Again
In the end, Zhihang's curiosity did not overcome his reason.
Zhixing wanted to move forward to see what the blurry figure was doing.
But it seems that the only thing that can be acted upon is vision.
No, it should be said that it was pitch black all around, but Zhixing could neither feel the presence of the glasses nor the ground under his feet, so he had no idea whether he was moving forward or not.
Feeling that inexplicable feeling was about to subside, Zhixing immediately made a decision:
"go back!"
Along with these silent words, the lines of paper began to twist around them, and soon the colors around them changed to the colors of the things in his room, and gradually gathered into his small rental house.
Is it a VR game? Or something like a gaming pod?
Zhixing reached out and touched his familiar bed, feeling its solid touch, and he began to have some doubts about his golden finger.
Subconsciously, Zhixing reached out and took out his cell phone to check the time.
But the empty pockets instantly made Zhixing sober up.
"Hey, I went to Conan's place to make money? How come I left everything behind?"
