Chapter 114: The Stranger Ten Years Later (3)
"The previous case?"
Gray Yuan asked as he sat at the long table. The table was stacked with all sorts of documents and photographs, as well as a bag of odds and ends.
"You can't have forgotten, have you?" Conan asked, and then began to explain the basic situation of the case, "Since last Monday, there has been a series of strange deaths in Rice Flower.
The first bodies were found in an abandoned warehouse near our school. There were no injuries on the deceased's body and no signs of poisoning were examined. β

Gray Plains was a little shocked by this information. She glanced at Conan, then at Kaedehara, but the man over there was still looking through the file that seemed to hold important information, and nothing happened.
"After that, there was one similar case almost every day, and there were already nine." Mitsuhiko added.
"Moreover, the bodies were all found in places where they usually don't go much, and there were no signs of being tied up on their bodies."
"The police believe it's all suicide," Conan continued, picking up Ayumi's voice, "and they suspect it's a suicide spread online."
However, after investigation, no suspicious websites were found on the mobile phones, computers or other devices of several people. What's even more strange is that none of these dead had an obvious motive for suicide. β
"It should be the same day to commit suicide." Thinking that Kudo might have been too obsessed with the case to pay attention to himself, Ash hesitated for a moment and decided to get involved, "This should be a serial murder case." β
And the poison used by the murderer...
Thinking of this, Gray Yuan's mood became even lower.
This is probably my own drug that is in the research and development stage. The Order continues to use it to kill people, and it's so brazen...
More blood on his hands...
Ten years ago, I seemed to think the same way, maybe that's why Kudo doesn't care much about himself now? She's just a traitor to an organization that has killed so many people...
"But it's still weird!" Ayumi said, "The situation at the scene proves that these people did take poison voluntarily!" β
"The poison should be in a small bottle. The fingerprints of only their own people were on the bottles, and some of them still held the bottles tightly in their hands. β
"Moreover, in two of the cases, there were also cameras that captured the suicide of the deceased."
Mitsuhiko and Motota supplemented the information one by one.
Gray Yuan Wai was a little surprised, faintly felt a little strange, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
"You know all of this, right? You don't look normal, is the cold really getting better? Conan casually cared and continued, "Let's just say that in the early hours of the morning before yesterday, the body was found on the side of the road.
It just so happened that a nearby store also installed a camera outside the store, and because of the camera angle, we could only see his back. But he did take the medicine out of a small bottle and pour it into his mouth. β
"Because of this, the police are planning to release the video and close the case directly with suicide!" Yuan Tai was dissatisfied, "If you want me to say, it's better to leave it to our junior detective team!" β
It turns out that ten years have passed, and it's still called the Junior Detective Corps...
Gray Yuan thought to himself.
There was a brief silence in the detective group's activity room.
The young detectives discussed a few words from time to time, but Kaedehara stood silently and looked through the files, only occasionally walking over to look at the photos, and then standing back again.
Gray Yuan Wai did not take the initiative to talk to him.
She didn't know what mood she was in right now. She thought that maybe she wanted Kudo to take the initiative to talk to her, or maybe it was because Kudo in front of her was so strange that she didn't want to talk to him at all.
Kudo looks very unsociable, and even everyone in the Junior Detective Group doesn't seem to pay much attention to him...
So, what exactly happened in this decade?
Gray Yuan Wai was a little sad and felt that his nose was a little sour.
Kudo over there had been thinking about the case alone, and Ash Hara was silent, finding that it was even difficult for him to sneak a look at the side of his face as he thought about it ten years ago...
The phone in the detective group rang suddenly, and it was installed at the single table where Conan was sitting. Conan reached for the phone almost instantly.
"Dusk Police Department?"
With Conan's greeting, the young detectives all stopped what they were doing and looked towards Conan, and all of a sudden in the classroom could only hear Conan talking on the phone.
"Another case?" Conan said into the phone, "Okay... I remember the address, so we'll come here. β
"Conan?"
"Well," Conan nodded at Ayumi with a serious expression, "A similar corpse was found today... Let's get over it. β
It was a bit far away, and they decided to take a taxi.
However, there are six members of the junior detective group, and elementary school students will be overloaded when they sit in a car, and now that they have grown up, they can't sit in a car.
Ai followed Conan and Ayumi into a car, and under her gaze, Kaedehara silently followed Mitsuhiko and Motota in a car. The two cars came one after the other to the location mentioned by the Twilight Police Department.
It was a small two-story wooden building that looked abandoned for a while, with several police cars parked next to it, and several police officers pulling a cordon.
In the past ten years, they have obviously gained a lot of prestige in the Metropolitan Police Department, and the officers at the cordon not only did not stop them, but even nodded at them, and then took the initiative to get out of the way.
Conan walked in front, and Gray Hara followed the rear, but this time, there was no one else around her who also liked to be left behind.
Upstairs, the Twilight Police Department, Officer Takagi, and Officer Sato are all on the scene. Officer Takagi and Officer Sato looked much more mature than they had been ten years ago, but they were still instantly recognizable.
Takagi and Sato both still have wedding rings on their hands, and they have clearly come together successfully.
Gray Yuan Ai couldn't help but glance at Kudo, and found that he seemed to only have the case in his eyes, and he had already squatted next to the corpse to check it at the moment.
It was a female corpse in a crimson dress.
Conan also crouched down to inspect the body, and the Twilight Police Department briefed the Junior Detectives on the side.
"I haven't been able to identify the deceased yet," Dusk Police looked a little melancholy, his belly seemed to be a little rounder compared to ten years ago, "She's about thirty years old, and her only characteristic is that she wears crimson all over her body, from clothes to scarves and shoes..."
"Judging by her attire, she should be a journalist."
Conan said, surprised by the Dusk Police Department, "Also, her coat is wet, but not wet enough. It didn't rain today, she probably came from somewhere else. The police department can go and investigate the nearby cities that have been raining in the last few hours..."
"Okay, I'll let someone do it, Brother Edogawa."
"Also, the deceased was wearing a wedding ring, and the inside of the ring was cleaner than the outside, which means that she needs to take it off often," Conan said to the Twilight Police Department as he examined the body, and Officer Takagi on the side took notes quickly with a notebook, "but her nails are bright, which means that she doesn't need to use her hands a lot when she works..."
"What's wrong with this?"
This suggests that she is probably going to see her lover. She only needs to take off her wedding ring to hide her married identity when she sees her lover. And judging by the frequency, she may have more than one lover ...
"Of course, the most important thing is the message left by the deceased." Conan went on to say as the officers and the Junior Detectives all looked towards the deceased.
Gray Plains Mourning is no exception.
But she felt something strange.
She should have noticed it a long time ago, but for some reason, she didn't notice that line until Conan mentioned it.
She looked over, and then her mind went blank for a moment.
The deceased carved a line of words on the wooden floor with her fingernails, a line that impressed her deeplyβ
