The kids always have the most fun on outings, while the grown-ups are having meaningless social interactions.
Ikue and Rei Fukitani had a brief exchange, and they had to be careful not to be eavesdropped by Shuichi Akai. However, Bermod successfully gained Judy's favor by virtue of her identity as Yumi Miyamoto - at least on the surface.
Yu Jiang, who was familiar with Belmode, clearly saw her put a listening device into Judy's cuff.
Shuichi Akai is just a smoke bomb. Her goal has always been Sulli, and it has never changed.
"What? You said you witnessed a murder?!" Conan's shocked voice broke the quiet atmosphere of the cherry blossom viewing day, "I'm going over now!"
Someone is faster than him!
Even though Fangtani Rei was the first one to rush over despite his appearance of victory and strength - he had a fake identity of a private detective, which could be explained even if Bermod questioned him.
"I only saw the figure of the man standing under the shade of a tree. He was holding a stick about thirty centimeters long and hit him several times!" Dr. Ali explained to everyone in a panic, "It's right over here!"
Many ordinary citizens have gathered at the crime scene.
These onlookers are very likely to destroy the scene, cause trouble to subsequent investigations, and even allow the murderer to go free.
Seeing this, Judy couldn't help but want to take out her ID, but Ouya Subaru covered her lips and coughed twice before reminding her.
"But……"
"Don't we have a policeman here?" Subaru Okiya motioned in the direction of Yumi Miyamoto.
Belmod took out his police officer ID card and loudly said: "I am Yumi Miyamoto of the Metropolitan Police Department. Please stop watching immediately and protect the scene until the police arrive!"
Sitting in the shadow of the wall was a familiar figure, the woman who accidentally bumped into Judy before. She closed her eyes tightly, and blood dripped from the horrific wound on her forehead, staining her cheeks and clothes red.
"Huh?" Conan found three blackened five-yuan coins in the woman's hand, and he immediately realized, "Is it Kurobei?"
"Kurobei?" American Judy wondered.
"It's another name for thieves, because they like to put three black coins on the person they steal to convey the meaning that your hard-earned money has been stolen by me, so they are called Kurobei." The person who explained.
But it was Shuichi Akai, who is also an American.
Judy: "So this lady was attacked while chasing the thief?"
They all still remembered that the reason why this woman bumped into Judy just now was because she encountered a thief. In this way, who stole her things became the key to the police solving the case.
However, during the ensuing search, many police officers rejected this idea.
Conan realized that he had made a mistake as soon as he saw Officer Megure and Date Hang appearing here at the same time. The two police officers usually led their teams to the scene separately, not to mention that he also saw the police officers hiding in the scene.
There is a suspicious plainclothes person in the team.
Have the police even been dispatched?
The First Search Section soon took over the crime scene. Officer Megure was already numb to the appearance of several acquaintances. He roughly checked the state of the deceased and said to Datehang: "The situation is exactly the same as the previous two cases."
Datehang nodded with a serious expression: "It seems that the deceased is not necessarily the victim of theft, but is most likely the thief himself."
"Anyway, let's investigate the case together first."
Conan and the others were confused: "Wait a minute, Officer Megure! What do you mean she is most likely a thief? And what's going on with the case? Are there other murder cases?"
The policemen who searched Section 1 always seemed to be particularly tolerant in front of Conan. Officer Megure answered the question generously: "Yes, because there have been two murders against thieves in Tokyo, and each time we found them at the scene.
Three five-dollar coins stained black."
The situation immediately becomes complicated.
Yu Jiang raised his eyebrows at Jiang Gu Ling with interest: "You guessed it right. The murderer really chose this place to attack."
Fangtani Rei calmly ignored someone's joking eyes. His expression was not as clear as Yujiang had guessed, but was instead covered with a dark cloud: "It's a bit strange."
The friend who fought side by side was no longer around, and the familiar squad leader was close at hand but could not recognize him. The only person who could communicate with him in his true identity turned out to be Yu Jiang, whom he was most wary of at the beginning and even regarded as a super dangerous source.
"In the first two cases, only three coins were found at the crime scene, but the deceased had a whole wallet full of coins, like..."
Yujie continued smoothly: "It's like she is Kurobei, right?"
Jiang Guling nodded: "I have reservations, maybe this is just a copycat crime."
Although both the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency have concealed information about serial murders from the public, after all, only two occurred, and it is not completely possible to have a relationship between the two. But just like Officer Megure would lower his vigilance in front of children,
Who knows whether more people will learn about the case and have the idea to imitate the crime and confuse the investigation plan?
There is another strange thing: "The murder weapons in the two previous cases were found at the scene and were handled very cleanly. We could not find any fingerprints, but in this case the murder weapon was not found."
Yujiang: "According to Dr. Ali, he saw the murderer attacking the deceased with a stick of about 30 centimeters. It is difficult to hide such an eye-catching weapon, but the police checked all around and found no murder weapon. Unless
The murderer has left with the murder weapon, or..."
"The murder weapon itself will disappear."
Yu Jiang and Fangtani Rei looked at each other and understood the murderer's modus operandi.
What is missing now is evidence.
Conan: "???"
Is there some tacit understanding between shogi players that outsiders cannot interfere with? How come they got together to whisper from the beginning, and also showed the kind of "I understand" expression that made the detective itch all over?
"Mr. Akai..." Conan tried to find a reliable adult to discuss the case with, but found Subaru Okiya staring unblinkingly in Ikue's direction, even opening his squinted eyes.
"..."
Forget it, he'd better investigate by himself.
"Officer Megure! Megure Police Department!! Date Police Department!!!"
Suddenly a serious-looking police officer ran out from outside the crowd. He rushed all the way to the crime scene and loudly reported, "The fourth case has happened! The body of the deceased was found in Mihua Park!"
"What?!"
The police officer was about to continue his report when his eyes habitually swept over everyone present, but they were fixed on Yu Jiang.
"Isn't he a suspect?"
…
"Isn't he a suspect?"
This was the last news Yu Jiang heard from the police.
Then he was arrested by the criminal police on suspicion of murder.
Yujiang thought about whether to break free, but he was obviously more interested in this inexplicable crime, so he did not struggle and got into the police car with Fang Gu Ling's shocked eyes.
