Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

Chapter 157 He's Here



Chapter 157 He's Here

"It is indeed a standard murder in a closed room." Bai Zhi walked into the ward and picked up a pair of examiner's gloves from the table next to her.

"Can you lend it to me for a moment, officer?" Bai Zhi shook the gloves in her hand and tilted her head. She was clearly begging, but her tone sounded as if she was seeking credit.

"Oh, that's okay." Officer Megure waved his hand indifferently: "Do you want me to get you a new one?"

Inspector Megure couldn't be angry with such a cute little girl. If others wanted to be angry, they could be angry on their own.

He won’t give birth anyway.

Besides, Officer Megure had a rough idea from his previous meetings with Baizhi that Baizhi was indeed a capable detective, and the police were naturally happy that she was willing to help solve the case.

Otherwise, they would have to work overtime and bear the pressure from public opinion... The position of police really does not treat people as human beings.

Thinking about what happened to Yoshikawa Renji just now, Officer Megure felt a headache.

Although within two minutes after Yoshikawa Renji's death, the police received an anonymous letter accusing Yoshikawa Renji of many crimes.

But no matter what, Yoshikawa Renji originally maintained a good image on the screen. What's more, the dead are the most important. No matter how much of a bastard Yoshikawa Renji was, the police just failed to protect him.

Even if Yoshikawa Renji is scolded to the sky afterwards, the police will also be scolded as well. The local police will be ridiculed again, and the public relations department will have to stay up all night and have a hard time.

This puts Inspector Megure's few remaining hairs even more precarious.

Baizhi put on gloves and called Toru Amuro and Conan to come in.

No one from the police said anything. Toru Amuro said he was a detective, Bai Zhi was a semi-acquaintance, and Conan was also very familiar with her.

It was Kogoro Mouri who was standing aside with a cane, looking at Conan who followed in, puffing his beard and glaring, with an unhappy look on his face.

"By the way, where's Xiaolan?" Bai Zhi asked as she looked around the room, "Isn't Sister Xiaolan with Uncle Maori?"

"She is giving a statement to the police. She is considered one of the eyewitnesses." Officer Megure also walked in.

"Sister Xiaolan is a witness?" Bai Zhi was very surprised: "Sister Xiaolan is not from this floor, right?"

Nagasawa Shun was injured, how could Xiaolan be a witness?

"It's like this. When Baihe hit Nagasawa Shun, Xiaolan happened to be paying the bill nearby, and Nagasawa Shun fell on Xiaolan at that time." Officer Megure explained: "It was Xiaolan who performed CPR on Nagasawa Shun, and then she and the doctor took Nagasawa Shun to the emergency room."

"However, Miss Maori performed CPR very well. If it wasn't for Miss Maori, I'm afraid her life would be in danger." A medical staff member outside the door scratched his head embarrassedly, his ears reddened a little: "She was really amazing when she knelt down to perform CPR on the patient."

Bai Zhi: "Eh? Is she pretty?"

Medical staff: “(′?`??)Yes!”

Conan: "(?-?')..."

Conan's originally calm face suddenly drooped and turned dark. He looked at Bai Zhi who was deliberately provoking the fire, and gritted his teeth.

"Does teasing me make you feel fun?" Conan bit his back teeth and looked at Bai Zhi: "You must be doing this on purpose."

Bai Zhi: “Yes~”

Conan: "..."

There was no need for him to ask.

Seeing Conan breaking down and becoming autistic again, Bai Zhi closed the door of the ward with a smile.

The ward immediately returned to its original state as a secret room.

The sounds from the corridor and outside the window were isolated, making the ward even quieter. This was a closed room with locked windows. The door was also locked during the period after the death of the deceased.

"Did no one move the scene?" Bai Zhi looked at the bloodstains on the ground. There were a few fresh footprints on the ground, which were obviously left by them and the investigators.

Everyone wore shoe covers, so the shoe prints were very uniform, and there were no other footprints.

Taro Kimura was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something unbelievable before he died. On the surface, it seemed that he died of suffocation.

But when Baizhi came to Taro Kimura and looked carefully, she found that the back of Taro Kimura's head seemed to have been hit hard, and blood was all over the back of his head.

Moreover, judging from the appearance of his pupils and facial features, he had been drinking before his death, and drank a lot.

"It's a standard secret room. The bloodstains on the wall are connected to the bloodstains on the door and the window. It must have been spilled after the door and the window were closed." Toru Amuro looked around the room and came to Taro Kimura.

And the blood on the ground was under the dead body, it couldn't have been spread after the person was killed, so...

"At least when the blood was spilled, at least the deceased knew about it and agreed to it." Conan added: "Did anyone tell him anything? Or, what kind of ceremony did he want to hold?"

"There are four suspects now. First, there are two of Kimura Taro's fellow patients, Nagasawa Shun and Sakai Daisan, as well as his son Kimura Uehara, and his friend Hakutsuru." At this point, Officer Megure stood aside with some distress: "However, the suspect named Hakutsuru is very uncooperative."

"He is indeed not a suspect." Bai Zhi said, "Didn't Bai He accidentally bump into Chang Zejun when he came back? He should not have been there at the time of the crime."

"Huh? Is he here?" Officer Megure was a little surprised: "Actually, he was the first person to knock on the door, but after knocking once without any result, he went to the empty ward at the end of the corridor."

"When we asked him, he just said that he had been playing games there all night and ran into Nagasawa Toshi when he came out to use the bathroom," said Officer Megure.

Conan: "Huh?"

Bai Zhi: "Uh..."

Toru Amuro: "..."

The three of them twitched their lips at the same time, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It's easy to guess that Bai He probably slipped out quietly this time, just in case, to give himself an alibi, so that if the surveillance cameras around the incident involving Yoshikawa Renji captured his back, he would be able to get away.

So, just pretend you were in the hospital the whole time? You're really shooting yourself in the foot.

I guess Baihe didn't expect to be so unlucky today. Yoshikawa Renji has a case here, and there is also one at the hospital.

"But since Bai He went to that empty ward and never came out, that should be considered as an alibi, right?" Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow.

"An eyewitness said that he saw someone climbing the hospital wall and jumping into the ward. It seemed that he was on this floor." Officer Megure spread his hands, and was also helpless: "It seems that he originally planned to tell the medical staff and let them check it out."

"Who is the witness?" Conan asked.

Inspector Megure: "Ran Maori."

Everyone: "..."

"Uh, forget it, let's continue looking at the corpse." Bai Zhi helplessly held her forehead: "Conan just said that the deceased might know about this melodrama, I don't agree."

"Eh? How is that possible? If I just scattered these things on the ground without knowing it, Taro Kimura would definitely make a fuss, right?" Conan couldn't believe it.

Anyway, Taro Kimura and the other two patients are known for their bad tempers, and they have been arguing for several days.

If blood was spilled all over the floor without his consent, wouldn't he jump up and go crazy in the hospital lobby?
