Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Officer Takagi turned his head and looked at the bathroom door: "But there is a small window on the bathroom door."

"Are you talking about this?" Amuro Toru said as he walked quickly to the bathroom door and opened it neatly. "This small window is frosted glass. You can't see what's going on inside the store from here."

Officer Megure walked forward and took a closer look, then nodded: "That's true."

Hattori Heiji squatted down and lowered his voice: "Kudo, who is that man? He should not be an ordinary coffee shop clerk."

Conan looked up at Amuro Toru and was about to speak, but Amuro Toru quickly made a gesture to Conan to keep quiet, then looked at Conan with his usual professional smile.

Conan was shocked and thought to himself: [I almost let it slip.]

Hattori Heiji was still asking in a low voice: "What happened to that person?"

Conan's forehead was covered with sweat, and he murmured hesitantly: "That man is... a detective. He has Uncle Kogoro as his master."

Hattori Heiji was speechless and pouted: "So you are the apprentice of that idiot? How boring."

Kudo Yuki looked at the two of them whispering with a smile, "Who are you two talking about?"

Conan immediately seemed to have triggered a reflex, and hurriedly whispered back, "Sister, it's nothing, just chatting."

Hattori Heiji looked at Kudo Yuki's reaction and tactfully shut up, not daring to say anything bad about Amuro Toru anymore.

Officer Takagi held the notebook in his hand, his expression serious: "Officer Megure, I have just checked the belongings of those three people.

Mr. Daji's belongings included house keys, cigarettes, lighters, wallets, cell phones, and a gift for Miss Wei, which was a necklace.

Ms. Yamashita brought handkerchiefs, tissues, cosmetics, house keys and a wallet. Mr. Nagatsuka brought eye drops, a wallet, a cell phone and a gift for Ms. Yui, which was a pair of gloves.

As a precaution, we also checked Mr. Osamu's bag, but did not find anything that could be used to commit the crime."

Daji Mingfu frowned, his face full of impatience, and shouted loudly: "I say, Mr. Police, although you have always suspected us."

Yamashita Yuiya hurriedly explained: "But the criminal could have come in from outside."

Nagatsuka Minoru echoed with a nervous look: "Maybe he waited outside the store for the power to go out, then put on night vision goggles and came in to kill people."

Then the guest in the hat said, "That's impossible."

Everyone looked at him, and Officer Megure asked in confusion: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because as soon as I heard the man screaming after being stabbed, I immediately stood up and guarded the store door, alerting everyone not to leave the store. Of course, I knew no one came in."

Hattori Heiji stood up, slightly surprised: "So you stood by the store door when the lights were on. Your night vision is pretty good."

The guest took out his cell phone from his pocket and shook it: "No, it's because I happened to be using this phone to listen to music, so there happened to be a weak light source for illumination."

Hattori Heiji was confused for a moment, and Officer Takagi walked up to him and said, "It seems I haven't asked for your name yet."

The guest looked at Kudo Yuki, whose eyes had narrowed into half-moon shapes, and introduced himself: "I'm Shinichi Wada, and I work in the medical field. So I'm a little curious why no one present had blood splatter on their hands."

Hattori Heiji squatted down and whispered to Conan: "Kudo, do you know who the criminal is?"

Conan turned his head away: "I don't know yet. Although I have thought of a method to avoid being stained with blood, the person who can use this method cannot commit a crime."

Hattori Heiji held his forehead helplessly: "If we don't solve the case quickly, we won't have time to go to the Kinza."

Conan looked at the sad-looking Yamashita Yui and walked forward. "Ms. Yamashita Yui, you said that you and Mr. Anqi were just childhood sweethearts, but that's not the case, right? If there is any reason, can you tell me? It might help to solve the case."

Yamashita Yui lowered his head and leaned forward: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you. This is all to protect someone. When I was your age, I also felt that nothing should be kept secret. But now, I can't say it."

Conan put his hands in his pockets, frowning, obviously not getting any useful clues. He turned his gaze to his elder sister helplessly: "Sister Xue, do you know any clues? Give me some hints."

Kudo Yuki smiled slightly and tapped Conan on the forehead: "Pay attention to a certain spot in the gap of the night."

This sentence was like a flash of inspiration, instantly awakening Toru Amuro, but Conan and Heiji Hattori seemed to have understood the general idea, but were still a little confused.

The guest standing by coughed lightly: "The autumn wind is rustling, the floating clouds are stretching in the sky, and the bright moon is shining between the clouds."

After hearing this, Conan and Hattori Heiji combined the previous clues and finally pieced together the truth.

Daizumi Akefu looked impatient. "Mr. Police, it's about time we go home. Although Anqi who was stabbed is pitiful, the criminal is obviously not among us. No one here has blood splattered on them."

Yamashita Yui also echoed: "The power was out and the store was pitch black. There was no way to stab anyone."

Nagatsuka murmured, "It's so dark that you can't see without night vision goggles."

Daizumi Mingsuke tried to fool the accuser and racked his brains to come up with an excuse for himself: "I have been staying in that toilet since before the power outage. How can I assassinate him?

And the small window in that toilet was made of frosted glass, so it was impossible for me to tell who was sitting where.”

Hattori Heiji stood up, his eyes sharp, and repeated the poem that the guest had said before saying, "The criminal also saw through the gap who was sitting in what position at the time."

Conan saw the customer holding a mobile phone and wondered: "What are you doing?"

The guest replied: "It's nothing, please don't worry about it."

Kudo Yuki walked to the side of Amuro Toru and lowered her voice: "Toru, remember to think about how to explain to me later, what were you absentmindedly thinking about when you were with someone who looked like Enomoto Azusa?"

Amuro Toru gently touched Kudo Yuki's head and said, "I'll tell you when it's over."

Hattori Heiji smiled confidently, "Mr. Daizumi Meisuke, who was hiding in the bathroom and peeking at the outside through the small window, I am asking you."

After hearing this, Yamashita Yui and Nagatsuka Minoru looked at Daizuki Akesuke in disbelief, but he was still quibbling: "What are you talking about? I just told you that the small window is equipped with frosted glass."

Conan deliberately attracted everyone's attention: "Sister Xiaozi, did you find the transparent tape?"

When Daizumi Meisuke heard Conan's words, his pupils instantly shrank. Enomoto Azusa took out a piece of transparent tape from his pocket and handed it to Conan: "But what are you going to do with it?"

Conan said seriously: "The science teacher at school taught us that if we stick transparent tape on the rough side of frosted glass, it will become like ordinary glass. If you don't believe me, try sticking tape on it."

As he spoke, Azusa Enomoto and Conan walked to the bathroom door and began to demonstrate, and the result was just as Conan said.

After Officer Megure and Officer Takagi came forward to check carefully, Officer Takagi looked puzzled and asked, "Why is this?"

Kudo Yuki patted Amuro Toru's arm and gave him a look to explain. Amuro Toru smiled and stepped forward to explain: "The so-called frosted glass is to grind out fine lines on the surface of the glass, and use diffuse reflection to make the image blurred, so that people can't see the opposite side clearly.

But by applying transparent tape and using adhesive to fill in the fine lines on the frosted glass, the glass can be made almost smooth and transparent. "

Daiji Mingfu was already panicking at this time, but he still said stubbornly: "But, but I don't have any transparent tape."

Conan looked at Daizumi Akesuke, "Wasn't there something pasted on the wrapping paper of the birthday gift for Miss Yamashita? It was pasted on the frosted glass, and it was torn off and pasted again after I peeked through it."

Daiji Mingfu was still trying to find excuses for himself, refusing to admit that he did it: "Even if I could see outside through that small window, how could I stab someone in the dark?"

Hattori Heiji walked forward and analyzed in an orderly manner: "So you practiced beforehand. In order to be able to stab the opponent in the dark, you practiced in advance in your room or other places, arranging tables and chairs according to the layout of a store.

You once made a set exactly like this one for a play a year ago, and the drama club office should still have the measurement records from that time."

Daizumi Akefu's eyes became more and more panicked: "Even if you know the layout of this store, it's not that easy to assassinate a living person."

As Toru Amuro walked forward, he said, "If you attack from the front, it might be difficult to strike because of the opponent's hands. But if it's from behind where the opponent is defenseless, you can stab him as long as you know where he is sitting."

He turned his head to look at where Da Jimingfu put his bag: "That's why you came to the store first, in order to be the first to put your bag on the sofa. Because you know your girlfriend Miss Wei will definitely sit next to you."

Officer Megure walked over to where the bag was and rubbed his chin, "As long as the seats on the sofa are filled, the victim can only sit on one of the chairs opposite."

Daizumi Mingsuke continued to make excuses in an attempt to escape the blame: "What about the blood? If I really stabbed him, my body would be covered in blood." After saying that, he smiled provocatively, as if he felt that his reasons were flawless.

Kudo Yuki looked indifferent: "Mr. Daizumi Akesuke, you really know how to make excuses for yourself. I can see your provocative look clearly. Since you like to make up excuses, I will shatter your fantasy."

She put her hands in front of her. "You really took great pains to avoid getting blood on it. You must have used something from the bathroom, like a roll of toilet paper tied to the knife."

Officer Megure frowned, "Did he use toilet paper to prevent blood stains on his body?"

Conan said, "Well, it's like a mummy, wrapped in paper from the wrist."

Daizumi Mingsuke frowned and yelled, "Idiot, if you wrap toilet paper around your hands, you're not going to be able to avoid the blood that's going to fly somewhere."

Hattori Heiji expressed his guess: "No, that would be enough. Just put the toilet paper roll in front of the murder weapon, stab it against the victim's back, and then press the paper roll down, and when you pull out the knife, there will be almost no blood.

The murder weapon was a long sashimi knife, probably for this purpose, because if the blade was not long enough, it would not be able to stab very deep when covered with paper rolls.

Although a little blood will spurt out from the side of the paper roll when the knife is drawn, it will be fine as long as the tip of the knife is not pointed at yourself, so Conan and I will be sprayed with blood when we are facing the opening. "

Daizumi Akesuke gritted his teeth, but still refused to plead guilty. Kudo Yuki took the opportunity to speak up: "I think he must have torn off the tape before the lights came back on. Just fold a small section of the tape so that it is easier to hold one end, and then tear it off with your hands.

If the restroom lights come back on earlier than the store lights, even for a split second, and someone happens to look at the small window, they might see something stuck on the glass from the light."

Amuro walked over to Ohzuki Meisuke and said, "Anyway, I've looked at the middle of the toilet paper roll, and it looks a bit messy, so it's safe to say that the roll was pulled out and forced back in.

So, I think we can prove it with a little investigation. For example, Mr. Anzi's blood on the paper, or your fingerprints."

Daizumi Akefu panicked and told the truth: "Because I'm upset, why do you call me your boyfriend by my last name, but just call Anzi by his first name."

Yamashita Wei was surprised: "Didn't I tell you? Because we are childhood sweethearts."

Daizumi Akefu walked towards Yamashita Yui and shouted, "You two are not just childhood sweethearts, you are obviously hiding something from me.

I know you don't dare to say it, so I guess he must be your ex-boyfriend, but you guys are always so sneaky and don't let me know, so I taught him a lesson."

Daizumi Akefu showed a vengeful smile: "To be honest, I didn't expect the stab was deeper than I thought. It scared me a lot."

Conan held up his glasses and told the truth: "No, I think they are half-siblings. Miss Yamashita, you said, 'I didn't tell you to protect someone.'

He also said that when he was a child, he felt that nothing should be kept secret. He was not talking about Noriyuki, but someone else. That person was Mr. Anji's family member, so it can be inferred that the person was Mr. Anji's father, a congressman.

I didn't think it was a secret when I was a child, but when I grew up, it became something I had to keep secret. It was also a fatal scandal for the congressman. Miss Yamashita must be the illegitimate daughter of a mistress. "

After Conan told the truth, Yamashita Yui opened her mouth in surprise, with a look of disbelief on her face. Conan found that everyone was looking at him, and he panicked, and quickly put the blame on Hattori Heiji: "This is what Heiji brother told me."

"Is this true?" Daizumi Mingsuke looked at Yamashita Yui and confirmed in disbelief.

Yamashita Yui nodded and told him what happened with tears in his eyes. Daizumi Mingsuke didn't quite believe it and stood there in a daze: "You are kidding, you are teaming up to trick me."

Then, Daiji Mingfu received a call from Anqi Dianwu asking him to visit him in the hospital later. He opened his phone and saw the truth. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Hattori Heiji looked at the time on his watch and kept complaining, "Oh, it's so late. I don't have time to go to the Kinza now."

Before he could finish his words, he was dragged away by Toyama Momiji. Officer Takagi was still yelling at the door: "Wait a minute, Hattori, you still need to take a record of this incident."
