The case was transferred from the Investigation Section 1 to the Investigation Section 3, which handles theft cases...
The investigation returned to the starting point again. What everyone couldn't figure out was that Mu Mu Shisan, who had investigated the case 10 years ago, saw the same case again and did not identify it as a serial murder case.
"Metropolitan Police Department... detectives... and experts from the Technical Association..."
Sera Masumi frowned and analyzed, "Could it be that they have already found out the identity of the murderer, but chose to conceal it because the other party is related to the police."
"That makes sense!"
After listening to Sera Masumi's guess, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly had a flash of inspiration and started to attack indiscriminately with a cynical tone:
"Could it be that the case we encountered this morning... is like something often shown in movies and TV series. Because the murderer is a high-ranking police officer or a second-generation financial officer, even though it makes people gnash their teeth with hatred, the law takes advantage of it. There’s nothing they can do about it!”
Please, aren't you the eldest lady of the Suzuki Consortium yourself? Conan sneered from the side.
"Garden."
Mao Lilan called to her best friend and said helplessly: "I don't think they will give up investigating the case for this reason."
"Just saying."
Conan couldn't help but interrupt: "Furthermore, for what reason did such a person kill a nursery director and an office worker 10 years apart?"
"Then what do you think is going on?"
Suzuki Sonoko lowered her head and glared at Conan: "Don't you brat always have great ideas?"
Please, if I knew, wouldn't I have told him a long time ago... Conan rolled his eyes. He had experience in dealing with his own tool men, and he knew that the more he refuted the other party, the angrier he would become, and in the end he might even beat him. People, so they are too lazy to argue with people who can't reason and can only guess.
At this time, Akai Shuichi suddenly said: "Then how about we discuss it with your classmates?"
Everyone was stunned and looked over.
Akai Shuichi continued to look at Mao Lilan and explained: "It's the classmate Jinyi who likes reasoning in the paper airplane incident you mentioned."
Edogawa Conan, who is too smart to look like a child, and Kudo Shinichi, who never shows up and only communicates on the phone, to be honest, he is really curious about this.
"Kinichi-san? Who is that?" Sera Masaki was confused... Is there such a person in Class B of Year 2?
"Ah! Classmate Jin Yi, right? I'll contact him later..." Mao Lilan said in a panic.
When Subaru Okiya mentioned the paper plane incident, he remembered that Shinichi had told him that because he didn't want the 'temporary resident' to be curious about his affairs, he shouldn't mention Kudo Shinichi's affairs in front of him.
Her reaction made Sera Masumi very confused:
"Xiaolan, what are you talking about? Even if you want to find someone to discuss the case, you should talk to Kudo Shinichi, right? After all, he is not only a famous detective, but he is also your boyfriend."
"Oh? Kudo...Shinichi," Akai Shuichi said thoughtfully: "He actually has the same surname as the owner of this house."
"Hey, what are you talking about? Isn't this the home of the high school detective Kudo Shinichi?"
Sera Masumi put his hands on his hips and looked at the other person: "Although he is busy investigating a certain case outside now, you didn't move in here by accident, right?"
"Well... because I heard from Xiaolan that Shinichi's classmate who used to live here was just an ordinary high school student with no characteristics, so I just thought that the two of them happened to have the same name."
Akai Shuichi pretended to be innocent, thought for a moment and then said:
"Speaking of it, the Internet has become very developed now, and news spreads very fast. Although a lot of it is false, and it often changes beyond recognition when it reaches our ears, but an excellent detective like Kudo Shinichi seems to suddenly appear overnight. It still feels strange to disappear from the media, right?”
Hey hey...what do you want to do?
Conan was very uneasy.
Akai Shuichi deliberately ignored the eyes of a certain detective boy who was getting wider and wider, and analyzed to himself: "And... I heard rumors that high school detective Kudo Shinichi died while investigating a certain case, so Disappeared from the stage of solving puzzles..."
"...Eh?! So there really are such rumors!" Mao Lilan was shocked.
"turn out to be?"
Akai Shuichi caught the key and immediately asked: "Has anyone else said this?"
"Well... Brother Gengyi said something similar before. He seemed to have heard the rumor of Shinichi's murder from somewhere..."
When Mao Lilan said this, he quickly explained:
"However, later we also encountered Shinichi in some cases. Although sometimes it was Kaitou Kid who disguised himself, Shinichi was not killed."
"So! You have indeed met Kudo Shinichi!" Sera Masumi's eyes lit up.
"Of course there is..." Mao Lilan was asked inexplicably.
Masumi suddenly came to Japan to investigate Kudo Shinichi?
Akai Shuichi thought for a moment and continued to ask:
"Then who is Jin Yi?"
"...Well," Mao Lilan confessed: "Shinichi told me not to reveal too much about Mr. Subaru, so I made it up casually...I'm sorry."
Alas, is this the FBI's insight? Just a small loophole exposed the lie... Conan sighed silently.
Knowing this, one cannot blame Mao Lilan, a high school student with no professional training, but it is still a long way to go to confess his true identity... and he definitely does not admit that there is some connection with 'social death' Relevant factors!
"It's really strange."
Suzuki Sonoko was quiet for a while, and then began to use her reasoning ability: "Why does everyone think that guy Shinichi is dead?"
"It must be because he has suddenly become low-key recently. It seems that even if he appears, he will emphasize to everyone not to reveal his involvement in the case."
Mao Lilan guessed:
"Perhaps it is to prevent the criminals in the case he is pursuing from becoming vigilant?"
"What, that guy thinks he is a ninja who sneaked into the enemy's position?" Suzuki Sonoko looked unhappy.
They are all high school students, why can that guy use the excuse of investigating the case to take leave and not go to class!
"Then how about calling him now?" Masumi Sera suddenly suggested, "Just so we can hear his reasoning."
"But... I already sent a text message about the general details of the case in the evening." Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed.
All she could think about now was 'boyfriend, boyfriend'... It was really embarrassing to make a phone call in front of so many people.
