died……
Given Hades's paranoia and the fact that he had not yet achieved his goal, suicide was obviously not a possibility.
Conan frowned, vaguely guessing, and asked several questions in succession:
"Was he killed? Who was the murderer? Was he an accomplice of Hades?"
"It's not wrong to kill him. The identity of the murderer cannot be determined yet..."
Kudo Yusaku hesitated for a moment, "But he shouldn't be an accomplice of Hades."
Huh? The identity cannot be determined, but it can be determined that the perpetrator is not an accomplice?
Dad must have been sleeping before he answered the phone, right? Or maybe he found something out of his investigation, but didn’t want to tell himself...
Conan smelled an unusual smell from that moment of pause and asked alertly: "What on earth happened?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
Not long after, Kudo Yukiko's voice came: "Xiaoxin, Hades' case will be handed over to Yusaku. You can stay in Japan with peace of mind and don't take that medicine again in a short time. Do you understand?"
What, so you were worried that you would fly to London?
Conan looked at the bathroom door depressedly... He wanted to be prepared, but he also needed someone to give him the antidote.
"Hello? Xiaoxin, are you listening?" Kudo Yukiko followed closely.
"I'm listening, don't worry..."
Conan's half-moon eyes: "Then what? Stop hesitating. Did you investigate anything?"
For some reason, he suddenly thought of Hades's unfinished murder notice, and the mysterious guy who pretended to be Kudo Shinichi and played tricks on himself and Xiaolan, then sent them to the hospital.
...Is there any connection between the two?
Here, Kudo Yukiko pondered for a moment and sighed:
"Sigh... It's just because nothing has been investigated yet, so Yusaku and I decided not to tell you for the time being."
"Eh?" Conan asked doubtfully, "But didn't dad just say that Hades had confirmed that he was the one who killed him?"
"The problem is that apart from the victim who originally lived there, there are only traces of Hades' activities at the murder scene." Kudo Yusaku's voice came from the other end of the phone, his voice was low, with a hint of helplessness.
W-what? !
As soon as these words came out, Conan opened his mouth in surprise, and his heart was filled with huge waves.
Only traces of Hades' activities were left?
There is a scene, there are dead people, but no clues?
It wouldn't matter if this sentence was said by someone else, but it came from Kudo Yusaku's mouth, but it really shocked a certain detective boy.
He was stunned for a while, then reviewed the entire sentence and said hurriedly:
"Wait a minute...you just said there are other victims?"
"The victims were residents of the original apartment. Based on the time of death and some traces, it is inferred that Hades killed them and temporarily lived there to avoid police arrest. My friend from the London Police Department also received a call from the residents on the same floor. The police reported that there was a smell coming from the house, and after going over there, Hades was found among several corpses," Kudo Yusaku said.
Hearing this, Conan asked without hesitation: "What is the basis? Is it possible that the person who assisted Hades silenced him after realizing that the matter was exposed?"
"Probably not, of course this is just my guess..."
Kudo Yusaku didn’t sell it and told the reason:
"Judging from Hades's autopsy report, he was obviously tortured before his death. If it was a cooperating accomplice, I can't think of a reason why the other party would do this. There is also the environment at the scene. This is what makes me think the most. It doesn’t make sense…”
"There are no traces of the perpetrator..." Conan blurted out, his face gradually becoming serious.
"That's right." Yusaku Kudo agreed, "Torturing, silencing, and leaving no traces. No matter how you look at the other party, they don't look like they are on Hades's side."
"What did the police say?"
Conan asked: "Is it possible that there has never been a similar case in London?"
"You really got it right."
Kudo Yusaku explained: "On the day I discovered the suspicion, I asked my friend to go back to the bureau and check the past files. There are many unsolved cases, but none of them have been as clean and neat as this without leaving any traces."
"All right……"
Kudo Yusaku is a certain detective kid who has to call him daddy. Many of his reasoning skills were learned from others. The most important thing now is substantive clues, not remote control from here. .
He originally thought that he could get some inspiration for solving the case so that he could find the bomber here, but the inspiration didn't come and he accumulated another mystery...
Conan sighed, feeling depressed but still with a hint of expectation, and said, "Then how are you going to investigate next?"
"I have asked my friends to find the victims and their relatives who are still alive since Hades committed the crime..."
Kudo Yusaku said: "However, the criminal's methods are very professional, and his identity is definitely not that simple. If he were not the killer they hired, it would be almost impossible to trace him."
"..."
Conan obviously knew about this, but he was still a little reluctant.
A mysterious and unsolved case.
He suddenly remembered the last time he took the Suzuki Consortium airship. At that time, there was also a mysterious guy who caused a secret room murder in the cockpit.
"Oh, how could it be that guy..."
"Huh? What's wrong, Shinichi?" Kudo Yusaku was confused.
"Oh, no...it has nothing to do with this case." Conan changed the subject.
The guy who sneaked into the airship not only killed all the mercenary groups above, but also spread "murderous bacteria" in the mechanism where he and Geng Yi were imprisoned.
According to Haibara and the doctor's description, the guy escorted Kaito Kidd into the viewing area at that time, but he had the idea of blowing everyone to death. If something hadn't happened midway, everyone might have been dead by now. .
The two things have nothing in common.
"Anyway, Xiaoxin, just listen to us and don't run around. After the things here come to an end, we will go back to see you~" Yukiko Kudo couldn't help but interjected after seeing that the father and son were chatting about business. talk.
Haha, as Fumyo Edogawa...
Conan's half-moon eyes complained directly, "If nothing happens, it's better not to come see me."
"Xiaoxin, what did you say?"
Wen Wenwen disappeared, and Kudo Yukiko's murderous voice suddenly came from the speaker: "I have helped you a lot!"
She was referring to the medicine delivery in London and the previous Mount Raiye incident, where an unfilial son suddenly called to retrieve her and helped Akai Shuichi make up as Subaru Okiya.
