Chapter 174: The Case
The screams were because someone had died.
Don't know why...... Maybe it's because it's happening in this overly academic world.,Toru Amamiya didn't feel surprised that there would be murder in the school.。
Probably only kindergartens and elementary schools are safe in this world, right? After all, judging from the innocence and physical strength of children, they really have no possibility of malice and conspiracy to kill their friends with intrigues.
Maybe it has something to do with the will of this world?
Toru Amamiya doesn't understand, Tomu Amamiya just wants to watch the play while looking for an opportunity to beat up the killer so that he or she can gradually repent under the iron fist of his own justice.
Toru Amamiya stood up and walked to the corpse with Shinichi Kudo, who was still under the knight's armor, and began to study the cause of the deceased's death.
In the hallway of the auditorium, a middle-aged man with glasses was lying on the ground, his eyes wide and his face hideous, with an overturned half-glass of drink in his hand.
…… It was an adult who died, and it was not surprising?
Teru Amamiya rubbed his chin and looked thoughtfully at the black knight beside him, then looked again, and skillfully dialed Officer Twilight's number and called the policeman's Moriran.
The scene of the entire performance hall was quickly blocked, and Toru Amamiya, who had not figured out what the use of the forensic department, began to survey the scene, and Officer Twilight subconsciously began to look around as soon as he walked into the crowd, and then stopped Toru Amamiya and Kotoko Iwanaga with a look of regret or gratification that he couldn't play.
Kotoko Iwanaga's role is a little behind...... Although she changed into the exquisite dress she needed for acting, she didn't get the opportunity to play.
"The deceased's name is Putian Gengping, 27 years old, and he was a doctor working at the Rice Flower General Hospital."
But why did he suddenly collapse in the middle of the show? Have you seen anything ......?"
Officer Twilight looked at the deceased companions in front of him, suppressed his eagerness, and did not immediately ask the detective, but dutifully questioned several witnesses.
He doesn't rely solely on detectives, but occasionally plays a little bit of his role, which is one of the reasons why Officer Twilight was able to become a police officer.
Although there are more reasons...... It's because he's the first police officer in the police department to be so skilled at bringing in detectives to help the police solve cases they can't solve.
The rate of solving cases is high, and the efficiency of promotion is naturally improved.
"I thought he was just suddenly uncomfortable, and who knew he would fall to the ground all of a sudden."
The lady who was supposed to be friends with the deceased dragged her chin and looked a little sad about what had happened.
On the other side, Officer Takagi was on the ground checking for clues along with several members of the forensic division, and he picked up the bottle of drink that had rolled from the deceased's hand and asked questions.
"Could it be that the victim fell to the ground and died because he drank the bottle of drink that fell next to him?"
"This, I've been watching the play, and I don't particularly know."
The suspect, Ms. Yumemi Noda, hesitated for a moment and gave a vague answer, while Officer Twilight quickly examined the suspicious drink and came to a conclusion that it was of little use.
"There's barely much left of the drinks inside......"
However, he soon raised some questions about the bottle of drink, trying to redress the victim's grievances as soon as possible.
"What time did you see the fall around you?"
"This ......" Just as Ms. Yumemi Noda held up her watch and began to recall, a voice came from behind her.
"He must have fallen around 2:40."
"Huh? Xiaolan ...... Why are you here? ”
After Officer Twilight captured Toru Amamiya in the audience for the first time, he didn't continue to focus his attention on the unrelated crowd.
Therefore, he also did not notice Xiaoran, who hurriedly walked down from the stage, and Kogoro Maori, who was sitting in the center of the audience, enjoying the best view and at the same time being the least easy to spot.
"By the way, this garden party is organized by Xiaolan's high school! Xiaolan shouldn't be a strange thing here, right? ”
Officer Takagi browsed his surroundings and suddenly remembered something, touched his head and said.
Unexpectedly, Officer Twilight heard this, but there was no sign of sudden realization with Officer Takagi, and a cold sweat quickly flowed down his face, remembering someone who had brought him a lot of achievements and more work for himself.
"So, that guy is here too!"
Compared to Toru Amamiya and Kotoko Iwanaga, who only appear occasionally at the crime scene, Kogoro Mori has a significantly higher probability of appearing at various crime scenes.
And this higher probability has also added a lot of psychological shadows to Officer Twilight.
He even abandoned his professional ethics for a time, and wanted to go to the temple to ask for a guardian who could ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings, and give it to the great detective Maori.
"Are you looking for someone? Officer Twilight......"
A man arrived late, and appeared in front of Officer Twilight, looking around in confusion, completely unaware of who Officer Twilight's wary gaze was looking for.
"I'm talking about you......"
Officer Twilight pursed his lips helplessly, drooping his eyelids, and said in a very strange tone.
You, the plague god, have brought all this unfortunate tragedy to your daughter's school......
Officer Twilight squinted at Kogoro Maori, who was completely unaware of the situation, and at the same time completely unaware of the kind of death aura attached to him, revealing a little sense of arrogance that everyone was drunk and I was alone.
The black knight couldn't help but sneeze beside him, and Toru Amamiya looked at him suspiciously.
"Can't you get better if you have a cold?"
Toru Amamiya said to him in a voice that only Shinichi Kudo could hear, and Shinichi Kudo raised his head and pouted disdainfully, relying on the fact that half of his face was covered by armor.
"Maybe that girl is thinking about me! After all, in this school, I am still quite popular. ”
Xiaolan glanced at the two people who were interacting suspiciously, he thought that the role of the black knight would be played by Toru Amamiya, but who expected that he guessed wrong.
But now is not the time to care about these things.
Let's hope this case can be solved quickly......
And in one corner of the crowd, a lady who relied on her disguise, and the chaotic enough crowd around her, thought she was hiding herself, watched it all thoughtfully.
Everything was going according to her expectations, and it was only necessary for her to find a suitable moment for a showdown with Sprutz.
Hopefully, such a wonderful time will come soon...... She thought.
"Then no one should have approached the corpse just now, right?"
On the other hand, Officer Twilight was still dutifully completing the questioning, and after complaining, he was still glad that Mori Kogoro was present in this case.
At least with this current detective who is a former criminal policeman, he will not let any inconsequential people touch the corpse at will and destroy the evidence left at the scene.
…… Although the kid next to him often gets into the corpse for some reason, but seeing that Mori Kogoro has always been blocking this child, and this kid always finds some important clues for Mori Kogoro to solve the case, Officer Twilight can only let it go in the end.
Really, every time the evidence is needed at the end of the reasoning, it will be pushed on this child, as if these cases were solved by this child......
Officer Twilight complained inwardly, waiting for Kogoro Maori's answer.
"Of course, Officer Twilight, keeping the scene intact is the most basic job of the investigation!"
"No one had ever approached the body until the coroner had access to it."
The coroner, who was examining the body, was innocently cued, looked at the rough conclusion report in his hand, and began to report it to his superiors.
"I guess that's probably ......"
"It's potassium cyanate, right?"
It was as if some kind of special label had been applied to the date today, and the coroner's words were interrupted in the middle of his speech, just as Ms. Yumemi Noda was interrupted by Xiaolan in the middle of her speech.
Officer Twilight and Kogoro Mori look back in surprise at the man who had come up with the answer in advance and gave the result in a high-profile manner.
Only then did the surroundings notice this kid wearing a peaked cap who had been squatting around the corpse.
"I think this guy died of poisoning after drinking potassium hydrochloride."
Looking at the shocked expressions of the crowd around him, the man in the cap repeated it again.
"Hey, didn't you just say that absolutely no one has ever touched a corpse!" Officer Twilight's eyes quickly turned dangerous, and it was annoying enough for Mori Kogoro to increase his workload every day.
Now he has even done a so-so job of maintaining the integrity of the corpse, although his mind has inexplicably become clearer than before, but now he has forgotten all the basic skills of the police that he learned in the police academy back then?
"Well, no one has ever touched a corpse!"
Maori Kogoro scratched his head in embarrassment, he had indeed been paying attention to the corpse before, but as for when this kid appeared, he really didn't notice.
"Please, even if I don't touch the corpse, I know a rough idea just by looking at him like this." The cap boy continued, and the familiar accent made Mori Kogoro inexplicably familiar.
"Most people lose their blood color when they die, but the color of the deceased's lips and nails is not only not purple, but also pink, which is also evidence of potassium cyanide poisoning!"
The capped gentleman confidently explained what he knew.
And with the deceased's method of death fully confirmed, Officer Twilight finally asks questions about the kid who suddenly appeared.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Wouldn't it? You've forgotten so quickly......" said the cap sadly, "I finally came back once, and you are really ruthless......"
The cap kid just wanted to take off his cap and show his identity in a high-profile way.
"I am ......"
Toru Amamiya, who was already smoked by the thick smell of foundation, quickly interrupted this warm-hearted boy who wanted to be amorous.
When his identity is revealed after a while, not only him, but also himself will be empathetic!
"You're the same Heiji Hattori who came to see Conan before, right?"
"Why do you have such a thick foundation on your face, this smell really smokes me......"
"Huh?" Hattori Heiji was instantly dumbfounded, and before he could say what he wanted to say, he was interrupted halfway by others, and the disguise he wanted to carry out was obviously not going on.
On the other hand, Kazuye, who quickly captured the keyword, came out of the corner and fell in love with this cap man.
"It's really you! Didn't you say you weren't coming......"
"And why do you put so much foundation on your face? The hairstyle has also changed...... Are you here to play Kabuki? ”
Hattori Heiji saw that things were irreparable, because he looked at Toru Amamiya over there with helpless and sad eyes, looking very resentful.
Originally, he wanted to pretend to be the engineer Shinichi and sit with Conan, and use this to dispel Xiaolan's doubts......
It's a pity that this seamless plan has been ruined by this damn guy.
What's going on? Didn't Kudo say that this person named Amamiya also knew his identity?
Why would he interrupt his perfect disguise halfway and sabotage Conan's plan to continue to hide his identity!
Hattori Pingji scratched his hair indiscriminately, wiped the foundation on his face with his own clothes at the speed of Kexue, and instantly changed back to Hattori Heiji's appearance.
He subconsciously glanced in Conan's direction, but "Conan" did not show any sadness because of his exposure and Toru Amamiya's "betrayal".
On the contrary, for some reason, Hattori Heiji always felt that today's "Conan" looked at him strangely, as if he was looking at a fool.
…… Although the behavior I want to do is exposed, I am really stupid.
"I'll just tell you why your accent sounds so familiar! It's you, kid. ”
Mori Kogoro laughed twice and patted Hattori Heiji on the shoulder, while Officer Twilight on the other side finally recovered from the farce that ended in nothing, and continued to look at the hospital colleagues who had come with the deceased.
"All in all, let's continue our previous investigation, may I ask Mr. Putian whether he bought the drink himself?"
-------------------------------------
This kind of crime scene with multiple suspects is always chaotic, and the various people involved in the deceased will always shirk each other because of various things, adding suspense to the case.
Obviously, the media in this world have reported so many cases, why do these passers-by in the scientific world still not understand the true meaning of this world?
All they have to do is tell everything they know and wait quietly for the detectives......
Toru Amamiya was thinking outside his own and looking up and down, left and right, as if he was looking for something.
"Do you want to find the demons and monsters here who saw the whole process of the crime?"
Kotoko Iwanaga poked her finger at this stupid-looking boyfriend who was looking around for a plug-in, with a helpless face.
"Although all kinds of urban legends will always happen on campus, in fact, there is the least weirdness on campus."
"Except for the elderly ghosts who follow their children, there are almost no other weirdness in the school, so it's very difficult for you to find monsters here who can see the whole process of the crime."
"I guess it has something to do with the accident rate and murder rate at the school, right?"
Kotoko Iwanaga tidied up her skirt and ruthlessly shattered her boyfriend's beautiful fantasies.
The world can't rely on spoilers all the time, and occasionally you still have to start yourself on the verge of rusting
