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

"Okay then, let's get together again when there is new progress. Xiaoxue, do you want to leave together?" Toru Amuro looked at Kudo Yuki.

"I would like to study these documents again. Maybe I can find new clues."

Kudo Yusaku nodded, "Then please be careful and don't get too tired."

So, everyone left, leaving only Kudo Yuki and Sawada Hiroki in the room. They continued to bury themselves in the pile of complicated documents, trying to find the key to cracking Karasuma Renya's conspiracy.

As the night deepened, Kudo Yuki and Sawada Hiroki were concentrating on reading the documents.

Hiroki Sawada's eyes lit up, "I seem to have found some patterns!" He said, pointing to a set of data on the document.

Kudo Yuki came over to take a closer look. "Is this the cyclical pattern of their experiment? If so, perhaps we can infer their next move."

"But more data is needed to verify this."

"Record this discovery first and take a rest."

Sawada Hiroki yawned, "Okay."

They leaned back on the sofa and soon fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, they were awakened by a rapid phone ring. Kudo Yuki answered the phone in a daze, "Hello?"

Miyamoto Yumi's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xiaoxue, there is a new situation and we need your help. Come to the Transportation Department's Transportation Section!"

Kudo Yuki suddenly woke up, looked at Sawada Hiroki, and quickly packed her things. She told Sawada Hiroki not to rush and to crack the code slowly. After that, she drove towards the agreed location.

When Kudo Yuki arrived at the traffic section, she heard Miyamoto Yumi's teasing voice: "You were hit on again, were you being followed?"

Miwako Sato also teased: "Yumi, those clothes your friend borrowed from me, I look frivolous when I put them on."

The female police officer held her chin up in her hand, thinking, "The clothes that Officer Sato wore when he was doing surveillance looked very frivolous."

Sato Miwako looked quite used to it and shrugged: "As long as I don't look like a police officer, it's fine. After all, my mission is to avoid being discovered."

Miyamoto Yumi looked puzzled: "How did you deal with that person who approached you?"

Sato Miwako raised the corners of her mouth with a bit of pride: "Of course I secretly showed him my police ID, chased him away, and told him that he had picked the wrong person to chat up."

Miyamoto Yumi seemed to have thought of something: "You went there with Officer Matsuda to follow them, right?"

At this moment, Kudo Yuki walked up to the three of them and deliberately stretched out her voice: "Oh, Yumi came to me just to let me hear your gossip?"

Miyamoto Yumi quickly waved her hands: "Xiaoxue, that's not the case. The one next to me is Miike Naeko. She's been hit on a lot lately, and there have been several cases of attacks on women, so I asked you to come and investigate."

Kudo Yuki smiled and greeted Miike Naeko: "Hello, Miike Naeko."

Miwako Sato saw Yuki Kudo and hugged her. "Xue, after the last incident, Jinpei, Kenji, and Date Kou were invited by Manager Kuroda to join the 5-man team to carry out missions. Thanks to you, I can see him more often."

Her eyes were full of joy, "If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have such an opportunity again."

Seeing this, Miyamoto Yumi pulled the two of them aside to apologize to Miike Naeko: "Miike, I have something to say, so I'll excuse myself first." After that, she pulled Kudo Yuki and Sato Miwako aside, leaving Miike Naeko standing there, looking at a loss.

Yumi Miyamoto pulled Sato Miwako and Kudo Yuki to a relatively quiet corner, and her expression became a little serious.

"Xiaoxue, the situation that Sanchi encountered this time is not simple." Miyamoto Yumi lowered her voice, "The person who approached her seemed to have some unclear purpose, and the methods used to attack women in recent cases were very cruel. I am worried that she has been targeted."

Kudo Yuki remained calm: "Did Sanchi provide any specific clues or descriptions?"

Miwako Sato took over the conversation: "Miike said that those who approached her behaved very strangely. They were polite at first, but soon showed some disturbing expressions."

Kudo Yuki began to analyze: "This is most likely a routine they had rehearsed in advance, first lowering the women's guard, and then waiting for an opportunity to act."

"Yes, that's why I called you here, thinking that she might be safer with you around." Yumi Miyamoto looked at Kudo Yuki with anticipation.

Kudo Yuki nodded slightly: "Now that I'm here, I will find a way to find that person."

Miike Naeko walked over cautiously and murmured timidly: "Well... I suddenly remembered that the person who approached me was wearing a hat and a green shirt." She tried hard to recall, frowning.

Yumi Miyamoto looked at the time, looking hurried, "Miike, it's time to go on patrol. Xiaoxue, I'll show you my daily routine. Miwako, let's talk when we have time."

Kudo Yuki and Miyamoto Yumi began to visit the daily work of the traffic section. Along the way, Miyamoto Yumi introduced various work processes and precautions in detail.

Conan and his friends crossed the road carrying their small backpacks.

He watched the three children chatting happily with Yumi Miyamoto, and then looked towards the back seat of the car: "Sister Xue, why are you sitting in the car?"

Kudo Yuki smiled slightly: "Conan, I'm here to help with some things."

At this time, a call for support came from the car: "The Metropolitan Police Department is calling all bureaus. Someone has reported that a female body was found beaten to death in Beihua East Park. All bureaus are requested to immediately send the police officers patrolling nearby to the scene."

"It's very close to us." Miyamoto Yumi frowned and thought, with anxiety in her eyes, "Let's go over and help protect the crime scene."

Miike Naeko nodded in agreement, "We need to evacuate those onlookers and not let the scene be destroyed."

"I'm leaving first. You guys should be careful not to be late." After saying that, Yumi Miyamoto quickly turned on the alarm and drove towards the scene.

The three of them arrived at the scene. When Miike Naeko saw the deceased, she immediately covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, her body trembling slightly: "No, Officer Momozaki."

"Do you know each other?" Miwako Sato squatted beside the deceased, carefully observing the scars on the deceased's body with a solemn expression.

Yumi Miyamoto approached the dead body, her eyes full of shock and grief: "It was a colleague."

"No wonder I felt like I had seen her somewhere. Turns out she's a police officer." Sato Miwako sighed softly.

"Her name is Momozaki Touko, and she is the patrol chief of the Traffic Enforcement Division of the Metropolitan Police Department's Traffic Department." Miyamoto Yumi frowned, her face full of disbelief. "She is a third degree judo master, how could she be killed?"

Miyamoto Yumi turned her head and looked at Miike Naeko who was still crying: "You went to sing karaoke with Baiqi and the others yesterday, right, Miike?"

Miike Naeko cried and wiped her tears, her voice choked: "I was drunk at the time. I only remember that Officer Yagi, who went to sing karaoke with me, sent me back home."

"Which KTV is it?" Sato Miwako stared at Miike Naeko, hoping to obtain more key information.

Miike Naeko was still sobbing, trying to calm down: "It's the karaoke bar Mika in Mika-cho 4-chome, right across from the planetarium that's being renovated."

Yumi Miyamoto ran to Miike Naeko and patted her back gently to comfort her.

Officer Takagi looked around and said, "Isn't that very close to here?"

Miwako Sato lowered her head and observed the environment around the body, thinking: "Maybe she was on her way home and wanted to go to the toilet in the park, but was attacked by someone."

Officer Takagi looked at the wounds on the body of the deceased and said, "The murderer must be very skilled to have beaten a judo third degree belt to death."

Sato Miwako's eyes were serious: "Or the murderer knew that the victim was a police officer, so he was fully prepared. There was a deformed 100-yen coin next to the body. What if the murderer deliberately put it here for some purpose?"

Officer Gao Mu squatted down slightly, carefully examining the coin, his brows knitted into a knot: "That means the murderer had planned the crime long ago, and he may have had a financial dispute with the victim."

Sato Miwako said calmly: "We need to inquire about the situation and gather information. The only clue we can find is this 100 yen coin."

Conan walked to the side of the deceased and said, "No, there are other clues. Look, this older sister's left hand has no scars on her index finger, but there are scratches on the first joint of her middle finger, ring finger, and little finger."

Conan squatted down and turned the deceased's left hand over so that everyone could see it more clearly: "There are also scratches under her palm, but there are no signs of being dragged on the elder sister's body."

Conan explained while gesturing: "Her left hand was originally placed like this." He pointed to the ground and imitated the position of the deceased's hand. "Then it was stuck to the ground like this, and then someone kicked her, and her hand was kicked to the leg, which caused this abrasion."

"So she's pointing her finger somewhere, what is she trying to tell us?" Sato Miwako asked, her eyes searching around as Conan spoke, "But where is she pointing?"

"Look at the tip of the elder sister's index finger. There's a little blood on it." Conan carefully looked around for bloodstains. "This elder sister knew that even if she left a clue with her finger, it would eventually be removed by the murderer, so she used her own blood to mark the original location of the finger."

Conan found a bloodstain not far away and pointed at it: "Look, there is a place on the ground that is stained with blood. The finger of this elder sister is actually pointing in that direction."

Kudo Yuki looked forward: "Swing?"

"What does this mean?" Sato Miwako looked confused, her eyes moving back and forth between the dead man and the swing.

Conan withdrew his hand awkwardly and scratched his head, while Kudo Yuki walked to the side of the deceased, squatted down and observed carefully: "This police officer's ankle seems to have been hit by something. Although there are no marks on the body, this situation exists. At present, this is just my personal guess."

Miwako Sato squatted down and checked the victim's ankle again: "If it is true as you said, then this may be an important clue left by the murderer when he committed the crime."

Conan began to pace around and think: "Besides, since this sister could think of leaving clues in this way, it means she was very sober at the time."

Kudo Yuki stood up, activated the True Reappearance skill and saw the murder weapon. She looked around and asked, "Have you ever thought about what the murderer's murder weapon was?"

Officer Gao Mu came over and said, "Could it be a stick or something like that? If it could beat someone to death, it must be a powerful weapon."

Conan shook his head, his eyes still searching around: "It's not too similar. If it was a stick, it should have left more obvious marks of heavy blows on the deceased. But now it seems that the scars on the deceased are mainly caused by beatings. The murder weapon may be more like..."

Kudo Yuki's eyes lit up: "Tools like electric shock guns. Remember I said the deceased was hit on the ankle, but there was no scar. If a person is slightly shocked by electricity, the body will become weak and fall to the ground. The murderer then used a stick to beat the deceased to death. This is just my guess. Let's wait for the result report for the specific situation."

Sato Miwako stood up, her face stern: "Yumi, who went to karaoke with the victim last night, besides Miike?"

"There should also be Inspector Shiori Yagi from our Traffic Enforcement Division."

"Where is she now?"

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

"I see."

Miwako Sato looked at the police officer and said, "Someone go and call Officer Yagi over right away." After she finished speaking, the police officer went to ask for help.

"By the way, Conan." Officer Takagi lowered his head with a puzzled look, "Why are you guys here?"

"We met Sister Yumi and her friends on patrol in a police car on the way to school, and then they called in on the radio saying that a crime had occurred here." Conan began to ask innocent questions, "Officer Takagi, why are you here so early? We came here immediately after hearing the call on the radio. But you have already started searching the scene, right?"

"Officer Matsuda and Officer Sato were just keeping watch nearby." Officer Takagi pondered, "I got the notification and rushed here when I was done working. I didn't expect a case like this to happen. It's really unexpected."

When the police officers carried Momosaki Orange's body onto a stretcher, Yagi Shiori hurried to the scene. When she saw her colleague being covered with a white cloth and carried away, her face was instantly filled with shock and her steps seemed to be frozen.

Yagi Shiori recovered and walked to Sato Miwako, explaining the situation with a trembling voice: "Yesterday, I went to sing karaoke with Orange and Miike. I sent the drunk Miike home and separated from Orange in front of the store. I didn't expect this to happen afterwards."

To be continued...
