In this way, Mouri Kogoro, who was suddenly encouraged and complimented by the two police officers and somehow carried the faith of Officer Megure, came to the teaching building of the Law Department in a daze.
The location of this teaching building was a bit remote. Only when Mouri Kogoro and the others approached it did they see a large number of students gathered nearby, as well as the isolation tape pulled up at the entrance of the building.
【problem occurs】
As a criminal police officer, he naturally knows what these isolation zones mean.
There may have been a murder in the building.
"Conan, you stay here, I'll go in and check the situation."
After saying these words, Mouri Kogoro quickly stepped forward, and after communicating with the police officers guarding the door of the building, he successfully entered the teaching building.
"Takagi!"
As soon as he entered the building, Mouri Kogoro saw Takagi Wataru who was talking to other police officers in the corridor, and he quickly shouted and stepped forward.
"Who is calling me...? Detective Maori? Why are you here?!"
Looking back to see Mouri Kogoro, Takagi Wataru, who had a grimace on his face, suddenly had a look of joy on his face and hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Don't ask these questions yet, what's going on here? Why did you even close the isolation tape? Was there a murder in the building?" Mouri Kogoro asked quickly without being polite.
"Ah, yes! We received a report this morning that a student was killed in this building. The specific situation is still under investigation..."
"Why are you the only one here this time? Where are Brother Memu and the others?"
Mouri Kogoro asked again. When he came in just now, he did not see Officer Megure in this building.
"Oh, originally Officer Megure and Miwako came here together, but some emergencies suddenly occurred just now, so the two of them left first..."
"What emergency?"
The person who asked this question was not Kogoro Mori, but Conan who looked serious.
"Conan?!"
Looking at Conan who suddenly appeared behind him, Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then became so angry that his nose was crooked with anger. He stepped forward and grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
"You brat! Didn't I tell you to wait outside? How did you sneak in?!"
However, this time, facing the violent treatment of Mouri Kogoro, Conan in mid-air did not struggle as usual. He still crossed his arms and repeated his question with a serious face.
"Officer Takagi, what do you mean by the sudden situation you just mentioned?"
"Oh, it was the train derailment last night..."
"last night?"
"Well, last night, a train that was coming from the countryside to the city suddenly derailed when passing through a curve in the middle of the mountain. The entire train was thrown out and fell straight down the mountain. The casualties... were very heavy.
However, this accident was not originally under our control, but investigators at the scene this morning found signs of violent explosions in several carriages of the train.
This is very strange, because under normal circumstances, no matter how the train is hit, it should not be able to produce that level of explosion..."
"Do the police suspect that this derailment was not an accident, but a terrorist attack deliberately caused by someone?"
Conan said the second half of his sentence with a solemn expression.
"Yes." Takagi Wataru nodded and continued: "After receiving the notice, Officer Megure rushed to the scene over there with Miwako and other police officers.
Now besides me, only a few colleagues from the forensics department at the door are still here. "
[A terrorist attack in Japan? 】
Conan was confused. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the mysterious black organization.
Could it be those people who did it?
"Okay, let's leave the matter over there to Brother Megure and the others."
Putting down Conan, Mouri Kogoro looked at Takagi Wataru and asked:
"So, what murder happened here? Who was the deceased? How did he die?"
"Oh, the deceased's name was Takasugi Yuto..."
"Who?!" Mouri Kogoro heard this and shouted subconsciously.
Conan's face suddenly darkened when he heard him say the name.
The text message Xiaoying sent him said that his uncle's client this time, the assistant of Detective Narizawa, was named Takasugi Yuto.
"T-Takasugi Yuto!" Takagi Wataru repeated again after being startled by Mouri Kogoro.
"This, how is this possible..."
After confirming that he heard correctly, Mouri Kogoro subconsciously took two steps back and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
"Is he dead?"
"Um, Detective Mori?"
"My client...is dead?"
"Client?" Takagi Wataru was starting to get confused at this time, "Detective Mori, it turns out it wasn't Officer Megure who asked you to come? Then why did you come to school..."
"Ah, this, how should I put it, I am actually..."
"Officer Takagi, how did the deceased die? Suicide or homicide?" Without letting the two people get around each other, Conan went straight to the point.
"Ah, we are actually not sure about this yet..."
Faced with Conan's question, Takagi Wataru raised his hand to scratch his head and replied awkwardly.
"uncertain?"
"Because...how should I put it, the deceased died very strangely this time. The cause of death was suffocation, but it was not strangulation, poisoning, and probably not suicide..."
"Death by suffocation, not strangulation or poisoning? Not even suicide? What on earth do you mean?"
When Mouri Kogoro heard this, his brows knitted together.
"Could it be that the deceased just lay there quietly and then suffocated to death?!"
"Judging from the situation on site, this is indeed the case..."
"ha?!"
Facing Moori Kogoro's questioning gaze, Takagi Wataru said weakly:
“The preliminary report of the forensic department shows that there are no toxic substances remaining in the deceased’s body, and there are no signs of strangulation that could have caused him to suffocate, or signs of a struggle before his death.
Well, it seems that the deceased really suffocated to death so suddenly..."
"Forget it, take me to the scene first to see..."
"Okay, okay, the scene is over here, please come with me."
After hearing his words, Mouri Kogoro and everyone were stupid.
After so many years as a criminal police officer and detective, this was the first time he heard of such a strange way of death.
Behind Mouri Kogoro, Conan lowered his head and frowned.
He took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, quickly compiled the circumstances of Yuto Takasugi's death into a text message, and sent it to Karasuma Ei.
Just as he pressed the send button, he remembered the "train derailment" that Takaki Wataru had just mentioned that was suspected of being a terrorist attack.
After hesitating for a moment, he also wrote this matter at the end of the text message and sent it to Karasuma Ying.
Putting away his cell phone, Conan quickly caught up with Mouri Kogoro in front.
