Amid the flashing red and blue lights, the familiar voice of Mu Mu Thirteen echoed in the arcade.
"What? He died in a game duel?"
"Yes, yes..." Mao Lilan said, "Because the duel was very fierce, everyone was just watching the live broadcast on that screen. Just when he was about to win, he suddenly stopped attacking for some reason until the countdown ended. , only to find that the man operating that character had stopped..."
"So, your attention was all on the screen at that time..."
Mumu Shisan was silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at a few other familiar faces, "Were you all watching the live broadcast at that time? Did you notice anything unusual?"
Of course, when he asked this question, his eyes mainly fell on Ye Gengyi.
From various angles, these guys who help the police solve cases are always somehow related to the incident...
The expression of a certain khaki police officer was a little subtle.
"I didn't look at it because I was a little thirsty, so I went to buy coffee."
Ye Gengyi pointed to the drink vending machine in the corner of the video game city and continued: "When I came back, I saw Conan standing next to the deceased..."
Hey hey...
A certain detective has a dark streak.
He said this as if he was a murderer...
"Huh? Thirsty..." Mumu Shisan was a little strange when he heard this, "Brother Gengyi, you didn't watch such a fierce duel... but went to buy coffee first?"
"Well, it's boring after all." Ye Gengyi said.
Intense and boring?
Thirteen beady eyes.
He suspected that the other party was learning a different version of the dictionary than he was...
"It's a duel with no viewing value. It's normal for him to feel bored."
Behind him, the black-haired man wearing blue casual clothes said.
"Sir, who are you?" Megure Thirteen turned his head, "And what do you mean by a worthless duel?"
"I am the man who dueled with the deceased before he died, named Shimizu Takayasu," the man explained: "In addition, this gentleman also had a duel with Oto before me, but the result was completely different from mine. Instead, he defeated Oto easily.”
"Is the Oto you mentioned the name of the deceased?"
Officer Memu glanced at Ye Gengyi, who was drinking coffee quietly, and then at Shimizu Takaho: "Do you know the deceased?"
"I don't know." Ye Gengyi said.
"Outside of the game, I don't want to know a guy like this." Shimizu Takaho shrugged, "His reputation should be pretty bad."
"Takagi, did you find anything?" Officer Megure asked.
"Yes, police officer, I just asked the customers in the arcade city. The deceased's reputation in this circle is indeed not high," Takagi Wataru looked at the manual and said: "His name is Oto Goken, 21 years old, and he is an unemployed vagrant. "
"I see, he's the kind of guy who often offends people..." Megure Thirteen muttered, "But if you die while playing games, is it a safety issue for the gaming equipment?"
"Student Maori, why do you look so familiar with the police?" Judy Stelling asked in that weird accent: "And why did the police call him Mr. Ye? Are they brothers? Why does it look nothing like it?”
"No..." Xiaolan waved her hands after hearing this, "Officer Mumu was my dad's former boss. As for Brother Gengyi, he has helped the police solve several cases, so Officer Mumu came directly. Ask us about the situation at the scene.”
"Um...Xiaolan, who is this?"
Officer Megure looked at Judy with some vigilance. He was not keen enough to realize that she was an FBI investigator. He was just worried that he would see her again in the next case...
"She is an English teacher in our school, and now she is a colleague with Brother Gengyi." Xiaolan explained.
"Colleagues..."
Speaking of which, did my brother actually become a teacher?
Because he has been very busy at work recently, he doesn't remember whether this happened.
However, two teachers actually took the students to the video arcade during the holidays?
Is this really good...
Thinking about it, Mumu Shisan couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at the two masters.
"Mr. Police Officer, please give me your advice."
Judy smiled and said hello, but the disguised tone was too weird, causing Megumi Thirteen to directly communicate with her in spoken English.
When Ye Geng saw this, he said, "I can't tell, but Officer Mu Mu also likes to learn foreign languages."
"Police...Officer..." Next to him, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but remind: "Now is not the time to do this..."
"Ahem..."
Mumu Thirteen came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed, "Anyway, the question is, why did he die while playing video games..."
"Yes."
Takagi Wataru decisively brought the topic back on track, "According to the guests at the scene, there was no particularly good character in this video game town at that time, and Mr. Oto in the game, just like Xiaolan and the others said, was a conductor. When the duel was about to end, he died suddenly..."
"But why are you dressing up like this?" Mumu Shisan picked up the helmet of the somatosensory fighter and said, "It's almost like filming a special filming..."
"It's a virtual reality game," the clerk at the arcade explained: "When attacked by the opponent, the pain suffered will be transmitted to the player simultaneously with the picture, so that the operator will feel as if he is actually there. The feeling of the environment is a new form of somatosensory game.”
"What?!" Mumu Shisan's expression condensed, "Are you saying that after wearing this, the pain will be transmitted to the operator?"
"Yes, these protective gears wrapped around the body are actually connectors used to transmit the senses," the clerk continued to explain: "But in operation, it is still far from the real scene."
"Could it be that," Mumu Shisan looked at Ye Gengyi and Shisui Takaho with a solemn face, "the deceased suffered the pain transmitted by the equipment, and as a result..."
"Oh, in that case, I have no suspicion," Ye Gengyi said, "After all, he was still fine after I finished fighting with the deceased."
"Hey, hey... how is that possible!" Shisui Takabo said with shame: "The feeling sent back by this thing is at most the same as that of a mobile phone... Is anyone going to die because of the vibration of the phone?"
"Maybe he was poisoned."
Conan climbed onto the seat at some point, "Look, there are no scars on his skin..."
"But, he died suddenly while playing games..."
Mumu Shisan seemed to have gotten used to this. The elementary school student who appeared elusive at the crime scene explained:
"If you eat something poisonous, you should have adverse reactions, but didn't you tell me that their fight was fierce?"
"If it were injected into the body with a syringe... no one in this bustling arcade city would immediately notice that something was wrong, right?"
Conan looked at Memu Thirteen and said seriously:
"Furthermore, look at this chair. As long as a person sits on it, his hands and feet will be restricted by the equipment. If the murderer sees this opportunity, he will easily succeed!"
lively?
Yes, it's because the equipment is turned off right now, so it's so quiet...
Mumu Thirteen came back to his senses and said seriously: "Yes, contact the forensic doctor to conduct an autopsy. Also, Takagi, since it is possible that it was a homicide, organize the police to filter out the suspicious characters first!"
"But... there are at least 50 guests here..." Takagi Wataru was a bit confused: "If we confirm one by one, we may not have enough manpower..."
"There is surveillance installed in this room," Ye Gengyi's calm voice came, "Would it be better to investigate which one first?"
When everyone heard this, they looked up and saw a camera fixed on the ceiling, filming down here.
