"Or maybe the murderer already knew that the victim was a police officer."

"We have made all the necessary preparations in advance." Sato picked up the deformed 100-yen coin that was placed next to the corpse.

"I feel like this was placed here intentionally by the murderer for some purpose."

Gao Mu nodded in agreement, "That means the murderer had planned the murder long ago, between him and the victim."

"There is a good chance there is a dispute over money."

Sato calmly analyzed: "We need to inquire about the situation and collect information before we can know."

"The only clue we can find right now is this 100 yen coin."

"No!" A childish voice came from Conan: "In fact, there are other clues here."

"Conan? Why are you here?" Sato was startled.

Conan ignored it and said, "Look, there is no scar on the index finger of this lady's left hand."

"But if you look closely, there are abrasions on the middle finger, ring finger, and the first joint of the pinky finger."

"Besides." Conan went straight to her and turned her wrist over: "If you turn it over, you can see that there are some scratches under her palm."

Conan looked around: "But there is no sign of dragging on this lady, which means——"

Conan extended his index finger, put his four fingers into a fist, and placed it on the ground.

"Her left hand was supposed to be positioned like this and placed on the ground like this."

Conan imagined what happened last night in his mind.

The strong lady stretched out her finger and tried to write something on the ground, as if she wanted to convey a clue to us.

"As a result, she was kicked and her hand was kicked to the side of her leg, which caused the abrasion."

Sato suddenly realized: "So, she pointed her finger somewhere and really wanted to tell us something."

"But where exactly does it point to?"

Conan's lenses were reflective, and he smiled faintly: "Look at the tip of this lady's index finger."

"There's blood on it, isn't it?"

"Indeed! It really is!" Sato looked carefully.

"That means." Conan lifted his bag and said, "This lady knows that even if she left a clue with her index finger."

"It would eventually be moved away by the murderer, so she used her own blood to mark where the finger had been."

"Although the blood was sprayed everywhere, it was still easy to find if you paid close attention to the dots."

"Look! There is a spot on the ground there. It is very obvious, as if it was deliberately made."

“That’s actually the direction that the lady’s finger was pointing, which is where the swing is.”

"Swing...what does this mean?" Sato took a breath and said, "Is it hinting at something?"

"Yumi." Sato slowly got up from the ground: "Who else went to karaoke with the victim last night besides Miike?"

"If I remember correctly." Yumi looked up and recalled, "There should also be Inspector Mazi from our Traffic Enforcement Division."

"Is that so, Miike?" Yumi touched the back of Naoko's head.

"Where is she now?"

"Inspector Mazi is on her day off today. It's still early, so I think she should be staying at home."

"Yeah, I know."

Sato turned around and left the crime scene: "Someone come! Go and call Inspector Asako over right now."

Gao Mu asked with his soul: "By the way, Conan, why are you guys here?"

Conan explained: "On our way to school, we met Sister Yumi and her friends who were patrolling in a police car."

"Then I heard on the radio that a crime had occurred here."

"But," Conan asked, "Officer Takagi, why did you arrive so early? We arrived after hearing the call."

"We came right over, but you've already started searching the scene."

Takagi stood up straight and reported to Conan truthfully: "Officer Sato and I are on a mission and happened to be keeping watch nearby."

"When I was finishing work, I received the notice and rushed here."

As we all know, Takagi's real boss is actually Conan.

Conan showed a naughty expression and said: "So, you were with Officer Sato last night."

"Officer Takagi, you are truly blessed."

"Hey... Conan! What are you talking about? How come you know so much at such a young age!" Takagi blushed: "We are just working!"

"I know, it's fine as long as you know it and I know it." Conan walked leisurely on the road with his head resting on the back of his head: "And I didn't say anything, why are you..."

“That’s such a big reaction.”

Forensic personnel covered the body with a cloth, lifted it up and carried it away.

After a while, Sister Mazi came to the crime scene in formal clothes. Looking at the bloodstains all over the ground, she showed a surprised expression.

"Um... yes, last night, I went to sing karaoke with Chi Zi and the strong man sister."

"I sent the drunk Sanchi back home. The two of us and the strong man sister were separated outside the Mihua World Trade Center."

"I really didn't expect... something like this would happen." She lowered her head in regret: "If I had known... I wouldn't have let her go alone."

"She came to this park, apparently to use the toilet."

Ma Zi was confused: "This is a bit strange. Before we were about to leave the KTV, Zhuang Han went to the bathroom once."

Takagi pondered, "So...why did she come to this park?"

Sato continued, "So is there anyone who holds a grudge against her? Do you know anything about this?"

Sister Ma Zi touched the tip of her nose and said, "Actually, we mentioned this last night."

"It seems like someone has been secretly following the two of us since a week ago."

"Can you explain it in more detail?" Takagi picked up a pen and a notebook.

Sister Ma Zi lowered her head and said in a disappointed tone: "It's a pity that we didn't go into it in depth at that time..."

"Got it." Sato patted her shoulder: "Then can you think of any clues about the swing?"

"Swing?" Sister Mazi turned her head and looked to the side.

"Before she died, she pointed at the swing with her finger. I don't know what she was trying to imply."

Sister Mazi stared at the swing in front of her. Suddenly, her body trembled and her eyes became frightened.

Sato immediately noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong? Did you think of something?"

Sister Ma Zi seemed to be thinking about something, and couldn't help biting her lip: "Nothing, maybe I was wrong."

She was a little flustered: "I will contact you after I figure it out."

"Then I'll go back first. I still have to tell my colleagues and friends about the matter with the strong lady."

Yumi reminded: "Sister Mazi, since you have a day off today, I think you should just stay at home."

Sister Mazi replied indifferently, then turned her back to them with a gloomy expression and left from everyone's sight.

Later we found out that this was just a small beginning of the case.
