A few days later.
Yongpu Chemical office area.
The members of the Mumu Police Department stood in the cordon with familiar faces, looking eagerly at the entrance door, waiting for the future savior of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Compared with the original history, Kudo Shinichi got involved in the Metropolitan Police Department much earlier.
However, because he is still young and lacks rich experience and knowledge reserves, his reputation is not known by the media. Naturally, the exaggerated praise of "savior" is still some distance away from him.
"My Healing Game"
Soon, a junior high school student wearing a student uniform with a handbag on his shoulder walked past the police officers guarding the door and walked to the Memu Police Department.
Seeing Kudo Shinichi's appearance, the Megure Police Department's face became a little hot. The Metropolitan Police Department asked a junior high school student who was not yet an adult for advice on how to break a eucalyptus. It would be too embarrassing if the media knew about it.
But immediately, he put aside this little thought,
The duty of the police is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens. Apart from this, the importance of other things must be put later.
Compared with unjust, false, and false accusations due to work mistakes, and wrongfully accusing innocent people, just lose this little bit of face.
"Shinichi, you're here, come and take a look at the scene."
Although the Megure Police Department has accepted that it must rely on the help of detectives to solve the case, when he saw Kudo Shinichi, a junior high school student, he still had some grudges in his heart.
The consultant he looked for was Kudo Yusaku, but the latter declined because of the editor's urging. Then, naturally, Kudo Shinichi came.
I can't help but feel embarrassed when being pointed out by a junior high school student.
So, is Kudo Yusaku really working on the manuscript?
The answer is no.
How could this parent in history still insist on traveling around the world even as his son grew smaller? How could he write honestly? In the beginning, he asked the new generation to handle the work for him because he needed to rush the manuscript before the deadline.
But later he discovered that Kudo Shinichi was doing a good job as a consultant. In this way, he found that instead of being the assistant of the Metropolitan Police, it was better to take his beautiful wife and travel in the mountains... No, go out to collect information. , wouldn’t it be better?
So - sometimes, knowing less can make you feel less bad.
The Mumu Police Department, who didn't know the truth, only felt a little hot on his face.
After being confused, a group of people came to the scene.
The discovery site was the president's office, with expensive mahogany furniture, bookshelves, desks, coffee tables and seats. The seats were covered with leather cushions, and the color was transparent under the light of the chandelier.
There are niche names hanging on the wall, and two samurai swords are placed up and down in front of the wall opposite the desk.
The body was laid flat between the desk and the reception area. The hair was messy, the eyes were wide, and there were purple marks on the neck.
However, Kudo Shinichi was not attracted by the corpse after he entered. His attention remained on the rope loop hanging from the chandelier and the overturned chair under the rope loop.
Hang yourself?
The scene looked like this, but anything should be done without preconceptions. Kudo Shinichi decided to investigate the body before making any conclusions.
He put on his gloves and, under the watchful eyes of the Forensic Division police officers, examined the condition of the body——
Although the scene of police officers from the Forensic Division relying on detectives to examine the corpse is very outrageous, they have not found many clues in the original history that can be seen at a glance...
With their level, talking about food is an insult to the word food.
There were scars from the fight on the body, and there were signs of being hit on the forehead with a blunt object. The fatal cause was suffocation.
After checking the situation, he stood up and looked at the eager-eyed Memu Police Department, imitating his father's appearance and asking for other details.
"Police Department, what are your thoughts on this case?"
Judging from the on-site investigation, except for the chair suspected of being used for hanging, the other furnishings were neat and tidy and did not look like a fight had taken place. From this point of view, either the deceased committed suicide, or the first scene of the death was not here.
It is rare for a murderer to clean up the scene after fighting with the deceased before escaping in a hurry. After all, he can clean up the surrounding environment, but the wounds on the deceased cannot be faked.
Speaking of injuries, the marks on the deceased's body showed that he had struggled with others and that he was hit on the forehead with a blunt object. This seemed unlikely to be a suicide.
On the broken eucalyptus, the kind of "I understand it in a flash of inspiration" operating syndrome is not something he can control now.
Clues still need to be found slowly.
"We think it was his death."
"Although the situation at the scene looks like there is a possibility of suicide, because there were conflicts between protesters and businesses not long ago, we have actually deployed police forces to be on guard nearby."
"But just before the explosion, we received a call from the police. Someone said that a bomb was planted in this building..."
"Wait, bomb?" At this point, Kudo Shinichi interrupted Megure Police Department in surprise, "Is it to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
"This should be."
The Memu Police Department continued, “At that time, we received the alarm call and sent people to conduct a search, and then found a large number of fake bombs.”
"Is it really a diversion?"
"The police officer in charge of security was transferred?"
"No, it was later that the real bomb hidden inside the fake bomb exploded, causing chaos. When the chaos subsided, the police officer in charge returned to his post and discovered that he was dead."
"The explosion didn't hurt anyone?" Kudo Shinichi realized the point. The severity of the explosion was so serious that if there were casualties, the scene would never be so dull.
"No, the bombs in crowded places are all fake. The real bombs are all installed in uninhabited places. The location of the explosion is also in a bathroom that has been unused for a long time."
"It does look like a homicide."
"But here's the rub."
Officer Megure clicked his hat and said in a distressed tone: "Since the other party has already used a bomb to distract the police's attention, why did they still pretend that the deceased committed suicide?"
A murderer who has the execution ability to obtain a bomb would never hide his head and tail like this. He could strangle the deceased and leave directly.
After cleaning up the scene and posing the deceased as if he committed suicide, is it possible that the Metropolitan Police Department would be stupid enough to believe that the deceased committed suicide?
It's really not reasonable.
Kudo Shinichi thought this way, but for a while he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation to explain the logic. He could only give up using the existing clues to deduce the truth for the time being, and asked instead.
"So since it was a homicide, is there anyone suspicious now?"
Regarding this issue, the Megure Police Department looked at Shiratori Rensaburo beside him and indicated that he was conducting the investigation in this area.
Shiratori took a step forward, opened the police manual he carried with him, compared the contents recorded on it, and introduced it in a serious tone.
"In fact, there are many suspicious objects."

Checking the staffing of the Metropolitan Police Department... It's too difficult. Let's use familiar faces.
