X City, an ordinary city, and the people who live here are mostly ordinary people. In this unremarkable city, old-fashioned plots are played out every day. No one would have imagined that one day the city would also cause a sensation.

Ordinary black splashes into the unnoticed sky. People find that time has inadvertently slipped away, and before they know it, it is getting dark. When the street lights come on, the other side of the city is revealed, with a bit of noise and sloppy nightlife.

Some are drunk in the glamour, while others hide in their own snail shells. Everything went according to its normal tracks, until late at night, when the city was truly asleep, when the train of fate derailed.

The black figure almost melted into the night, and it fell from the rooftop of more than twenty stories high, and fell into the black abyss. Bang! There was a muffled sound, and blood bloomed in the night. The city is no longer calm.

He stood in a corner somewhere, quietly watching everything until the alarm bell rang and he quietly disappeared into the night.

……

On the plane, Zhang Yue was holding her head with her hands and reading a book. Next to him sat Lao Zhuang, working on a paper on quantum theory. It has been half a day since the two of them set off from Kagamiji to get on the plane. The two of them continued to go about their business quietly, without any verbal exchange, not even to discuss the task.

The two of them happened to get on the same plane like strangers, sat together, and then went to the same destination. Zhang Yue didn't care about this, but enjoyed such a quiet time. Lao Zhuang, who has always been cold, is even more calm, and he cares more about the views put forward in the paper in front of him than communicating with people.

After getting off the plane, the two finally had their first conversation. It was Zhang Yue who spoke, he looked at his watch and asked, "Do you want to go to dinner first?" ”

Lao Zhuang carried the luggage in his hand and said, "Let's go to the hotel to put the luggage first." ”

Zhang Yue did not object, got into a taxi with Lao Zhuang, and went straight to the hotel. After a brief dinner, the two went back to the hotel to get ready to rest. As soon as he lay on the bed, Zhang Yue jumped up, he pushed Lao Zhuang next to him, and said, "Wait, we seem to have forgotten something." ”

Lao Zhuang also came back to his senses and said, "Task." ”

"Along the way, I patronized and did my own thing, and almost took the task as a tour." Zhang Yue sighed. Lao Zhuang is also helpless.

The two hurriedly changed their clothes and went out. On the way, Zhang Yue asked, "Lao Zhuang, do you know about this mission?" ”

"I don't know."

Zhang Yue was stunned: "Then where are we going now?" ”

Lao Zhuang thought about it, took out his mobile phone and looked at the chat history with Yan Xi, and said, "Go to the police station, there was a murder here recently, and we have to solve the case." ”

"Solve the case? What kind of supernatural event is it? ”

"Probably."

The two fell silent again, sitting in the taxi, each looking at their own scenery. Only when the driver accosted from time to time, Zhang Yue would reply a few words to ease the silent atmosphere.

After a while, the two arrived at the police station. At the door, a young man in a police uniform was pacing back and forth, looking anxious, looking to both sides of the road from time to time. When he saw Zhang Yue and Lao Zhuang getting down from the taxi, he hurriedly greeted them and said, "The two are Mr. Zhuang Zechan and Mr. Zhang Yue." ”

Zhang Yue smiled: "Yes, I am Zhang Yue, and this is Zhuang Zechan." After speaking, he shook hands with the young man, Lao Zhuang did not speak, but he did not step forward to shake hands politely.

The young man let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's finally time for you." My name is Ji Xing, and I am a police officer here, and I am also the same kind of person as you. ”

Zhang Yue and Lao Zhuang nodded, saying hello, and then looked at Ji Xing quietly, waiting for his next move. Ji Xing was stunned, and for a while he couldn't accept the somewhat indifferent reaction of the two, and after staying for a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Those two please, the detective is already waiting for you." There were other contestants. ”

"Huh? Contestants? What contestants? Zhang Yue asked with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Lao Zhuang, who shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know anything. Helpless, Zhang Yue had no choice but to look at Ji Xing and cast a questioning look.

Ji Xing said: "Don't you know? Didn't Goddess Yan Xi tell you? ”

"Uh...... Woman? God? Zhang Yue asked.

"Of course! Yan Xida is a recognized goddess in our spiritual alliance, sexy, intellectual, powerful, and charming! At the mention of this, Ji Xing, who was walking briskly, suddenly stopped, hugged his chest tightly with both hands, and looked intoxicated.

Zhang Yue leaned into Lao Zhuang's ear and asked, "What he said is the same as our Xiaoxi, is it the same person?" ”

Lao Zhuang nodded and said, "Yes, there is only one Yan Xi in the Spirit Dao Alliance. ”

Seeing that the two of them suddenly discussed Yan Xilai, Ji Xing also realized his gaffe, and hurriedly said: "Wrong, wrong, the focus is on this mission." Do you know that Conan Edogawa lives in the third dimension? ”

"Huh?"

Seeing the puzzled faces of the two of them at the same time, Ji Xing was completely speechless, so he had to straighten his face and say: "This Conan is Conan, the Conan I am talking about is a detective who has been active all over the country recently. He has solved all kinds of cases, and he has been wearing a mask, which is very mysterious, so he is called Conan Edogawa who lives in the third dimension. Some time ago, there was a murder in our city, and it has not been possible to solve it. And then this Conan happened to come to our city of X. Ji Xing said.

"Then why do you want us to solve the case? Isn't there a Conan? Zhang Yue asked rhetorically.

Ji Xing said impatiently: "Alas, don't interrupt me, listen to me." This Conan promised to help us solve the case, but he felt that it was too boring for him to become the savior every time, so he launched a competition and invited all the famous detectives from all over the country to solve the case together to see who could solve the case in the shortest possible time. So, you're a contestant. Got it? Ji Xing looked at Zhang Yue and Lao Zhuang with inquiring eyes.

"Hmm...... Probably understood. Anyway, we're going to compete with someone else to solve the case, right? Zhang Yue said with a smile.

Ji Xing smiled: "Almost, okay, hurry in, they have been waiting for a long time." Ji Xing said as he led them forward quickly. After a while, the three of them came to a conference room, where a dozen or so people were doing it, boredly flipping through documents.

For the others, Zhang Yue and Lao Zhuang directly ignored them, and their eyes fell directly on the two people in the center. It was a boy, dressed in a crisp white suit and wearing a white mask on his face, so he couldn't see his face clearly. Beside him, there was a little girl with a smile.

Zhang Yue's soul power was released, directly connected with Lao Zhuang's nerves, and said, "He is...... Conan? ”

"So, that one next to him is Xiaolan?"

"So you complain too?"

The two kept in touch and walked into the conference room. A middle-aged man in a suit glanced at them with some displeasure and said, "Why is it so late?" Are you a big name? Let so many people wait for you? ”

Seeing this, Ji Xing hurriedly stepped forward to play a round: "Detective, I'm sorry, they have delayed something." ”

"Delayed? Human life is at stake! It's a homicide, and we don't have any time to waste. The detective said angrily, pointing at Ji Xing's nose and scolding, that indignant appearance was really a little scary.

Zhang Yue grabbed Ji Xing, who still wanted to say good things, looked at the detective, and said indifferently: "Then let's start quickly, don't we have no time?" ”

"You!" Seeing Zhang Yue's light appearance, the detective still wanted to have a seizure, but he thought of what he had just said, so he could only shut up indignantly. When the rest of the people saw this, they all hid their mouths and snickered, but Conan and the woman remained silent.

Ji Xing hurriedly poured a cup of tea, handed it to the detective, and said, "Detective, drink tea, I'll go and tell you about the case." The inspector took the tea, waved his hand, and sat silent.

Seeing this, Ji Xing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, flipped through the messy documents, took out a remote control, turned on the projection on the wall, and said, "Let's take a look at this surveillance video." ”

In the video, it was dark, and two blurred figures could be faintly seen scuffling. Everyone squinted and watched carefully, and suddenly the shadow disappeared, as if engulfed in darkness.

Ji Xing said in a deep voice: "Do you need to put it again?" ”

A few people raised their hands to signal, and when Ji Xing saw this, he had to put it again. Zhang Yue didn't look at it again, but picked up a document on the table and looked at it, while Lao Zhuang paid attention to a few photos.

Ji Xing said while playing the video: "The deceased's surname is Wang, he is an ordinary white-collar worker, he goes out to work and lives alone, according to the investigation, he is low-key, has no friends, no enemies, and no history of mental illness. But half a month ago, he fell from the roof and died. ”

"He killed?" Someone said.

"At the beginning, we also defined it this way, but we couldn't find any suspects, although the surveillance video captured the scene just now, but because it was late at night, the light was too dim, and the camera was in disrepair, and the lens had been spent, so there was no way to determine the murderer. And the most important point is that when the murderer was fighting with the deceased, he turned into a corner, where there was a surveillance blind spot, so the camera did not capture it. However, if there is really a murderer, then after the murderer has committed the crime, there is only one way to go, then he will definitely be captured by the camera. However, no. So where did the murderer go? Ji Xing propped his hands on the table, looking at everyone in the conference room, his sharp eyes seemed to pierce people's hearts.

"This ...... Is it possible to go straight down by other means, such as using a rope? Someone asked, with a somewhat uncertain tone.

Ji Xing shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, if it is hung down with a rope, it should leave traces, but we didn't find it at the scene." ”

Everyone was confused, and began to discuss without a word. Only Zhang Yue, Lao Zhuang and the mysterious Conan remained silent. After a long time, Zhang Yue looked at the time and said, "Can we go to the scene to have a look?" ”
