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

Officer Takagi reported to Officer Megure: "The two nannies they mentioned just came back. They went out to buy pancakes and vegetables for dinner."

Conan's eyes were full of thought, "Excuse me, is there anyone else living in this house?"

"Well, the victim's son and daughter-in-law also live here, but they seem to be traveling."

Sera Masumi's eyes swept over the three suspects, "That is to say, at the time of the crime, in addition to the few of us at the door, there were three other people in this house.

Mr. Toshima Motoyuki, who got lost while going to the bathroom, Mr. Chouno Kinji, who was flipping through a book on ancient art in the study, and Ms. Sakamaki Suzue, who was alone in this reception room, the three of you could have moved around the house freely at the time, so you had every opportunity to stab Mr. Nishizu to death with a spear.

The murder weapon was a spear with a very long handle, and when the murderer used it to beat and stab the victim, it was difficult for blood to splash on his body. "

Conan continued: "But speaking of it, I think it's easy to identify who the murderer is. The murderer should have replaced the black disk with his own box."

Huiyuan Ai echoed beside him: "Yes, it's actually very simple. We just need to find an appraiser to appraise the plates in the three boxes again. Then, it will be obvious who the murderer is."

At this time, Sera Masumi bent down and approached Huihara Ai, with an inquiring look on his face: "You are really a little adult! The meaning of the idiom "self-evident" can be understood without too much explanation."

Haibara Ai glared at her with displeasure, but Sera Masumi continued to speak as if she didn't see anything, with a look of suspicion on her face, "I didn't expect that a first-year student like you would use this idiom. Let me ask you, how old are you this year? According to my guess, you ate that thing like Conan, right?"

Conan's heart tightened when he heard this, and he began to panic, his face changed slightly. Kudo Yuki held him down with her hand and gently shook her head to indicate not to panic.

Seeing this, Okiya Subaru spoke up to help, with a smile on his face: "Is this strange? In this day and age, elementary school students all have smartphones, and they can use their phones to look up words they don't understand on TV or in books.

Besides, Dr. Agasa often likes to use obscure words. Living in his house, she will inevitably be influenced by him."

Dr. Agasa nodded quickly, "Yes, that's right!"

Sera Masumi stood up and glared at Okiya Subaru with dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he was blocked by the two and had nothing to say.

Conan watched from the side with his mouth twitching slightly, and didn't want to say anything.

Kudo Yuki took a picture of Conan's emoticon with her mobile phone and put it in her pocket.

When Shushu saw this photo, his bored expression suddenly brightened up. "Xiaoxue, Conan has a new emoticon pack!"

Kudo Yuki put one hand in her pocket and spoke telepathically: "Shu Shu, just take your time to look at it. Don't make a sound now."

Shushu quickly covered his mouth with his paws, but his eyes never left the screen. He looked at Conan's emoticons in Kudo Yuki's phone. Sometimes he couldn't help but smile, and sometimes he shook his little head excitedly.

After a brief discussion, Officer Megure said in a serious tone, "Let's hurry up! Takagi, go contact other appraisers to come here now."

The three suspects sitting opposite the police suddenly went wild.

"Hey, wait a minute, what makes you so sure that the murderer put the real plate in his box?" Chinji Chono looked distrustful.

"It is also possible that the murderer simply put the plate on the ground back into the empty box." Toshima Motoyuki looked panicked and tried to make excuses for himself.

Sakamaki Suzue frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "He did this to make us think that his goal was to pile up black plates. Maybe the appraiser offended someone and was attacked by him?"

Chinji Chono then gave an example: "For example, when appraising a plate, the appraiser said something unpleasant and offended someone. This is also very possible!"

Toshima Motoyuki pretended to be justified: "No matter what, I don't want to be mistaken for the murderer by you police just because the box I put is the real thing."

Kudo Yuki had been watching for a while, but there was something wrong with Toshima Motoyuki's facial expression. She narrowed her eyes into half-moon shapes and continued to observe.

Officer Megure thought for a moment and said, "It's really hard for us to make any conclusions before the appraiser comes."

Officer Takagi carefully considered the distance and time in his mind, "But, Officer Megure, it will probably take quite a while to get a reputable appraiser here now."

"By the way, Doctor, Appraiser Nishizu told you that the pile of black plates next to him are authentic, is that right?" Conan looked up at Dr. Agasa, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Yes. He also used his bloody finger on the plate, and the bottom of the real black plate was stained with the blood from Mr. Nishizu's finger."

Officers Megure and Takagi asked in unison: "Is it true?"

Dr. Agasa nodded in response. "I found Mr. Nishizu lying on the ground and ran over to him."

He described the incident in detail. "Just turn over the bottoms of the three plates and you'll know who the murderer is."

The two police officers looked at each other and nodded, thinking that this method was feasible.

Kudo Yuki stroked her chin and thought, "Doctor, during the time you left to look for your phone, the murderer took away the pile of black disks after you left.

Then the murderer is very likely to have seen the bloodstains on the bottom of the plate and deliberately put the same bloodstains on the bottom of the other two plates to confuse people and prevent them from knowing which one is the real one?"

Conan's eyes narrowed after hearing this. "If the murderer really did this, then things become even more complicated."

Dr. Agasa frowned. "Wouldn't it be difficult to tell which blood stain on the plate was left by Mr. Nishizu? What should we do?"

"In any case, let's check the bottom of the plate first." Officer Megure strode to another room in the corridor, and everyone followed behind him. "Everyone, to prevent you from denying it later, please go behind your boxes."

The three suspects entered the house and sat down.

Officer Takagi stood at the door of the house, on high alert, while the others stood in the corridor, watching what was happening inside.

Officer Megure walked up to Toshima Motoyuki, squatted down, and carefully examined him. "Well, let's start with Mr. Toshima and check the bottom of the plate. At the moment, whoever has the blood on his plate is the most likely suspect."

He picked up the plate, and the moment he saw blood on the bottom of the plate, Dieno Qinzhi leaned forward suddenly and shouted angrily, "Then it's clear, you are the murderer."

"No, no, it's not me at all."

Kudo Yuki said, "Calm down. Just to be on the safe side, check the other two's plates as well."

Officer Megure turned over the bottoms of the remaining two plates. As Kudo Yuki expected, there were bloodstains on the bottoms of all three plates.

"Looking at it this way, now we can only wait for the appraiser to come."

Officer Takagi asked Dr. Agasa: "Doctor, do you have any other way to tell which one is the real one?"

"I remember that when I turned the plate over horizontally, the front of the plate corresponding to the bloodstain was the crane's beak. So, as long as I turned the plate over horizontally, I could tell which one was the real one based on the position of the beak."

Inspector Megure said as he did it: "In order to facilitate comparison, I put the blood stains on the three plates facing upwards, and then turned them over horizontally. The plate with the crane's beak facing upwards is..."

Dr. Agasa looked surprised: "Why, how could this happen?"

After verification, the direction of the crane's beak corresponding to the bottom of the three plates was not upward, confirming that Kudo Yuki's guess was correct. The case was once again at a stalemate, and everyone's expressions became more solemn.

Chinji Chouno and Suzue Sakamaki, who were sitting nearby, had already become impatient.

"Didn't you say that by doing this, we can figure out who the murderer is?"

"It's so ridiculous."

People in the room were arguing, the noises rising and falling in a chaotic mess.

Sera Masumi frowned in thought, then turned to look at Okiya Subaru with a confused look. "Speaking of which, I want to ask, how did you figure it out at the time?

At that time, I was observing the situation at the door of Dr. Agasa's house, and you talked to me, didn't you? And when Conan asked you, I still remember how you answered him. "

Sera Masumi asked with scrutiny: "Then how do you know I'm a girl? I'm dressed like this and wearing a helmet, most people would think I'm a boy!

How on earth do I look like a girl? Could it be that you have known me for a long time? "

Okiya Subaru raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and teased his sister half-jokingly: "Because of your buttocks."

Sera Masumi's face instantly turned red, showing an expression of embarrassment and annoyance. He subconsciously covered his butt with his hands, "Buttocks?"

"When I saw the line of your hips, I knew you must be a girl. I thought there was no need to explain this kind of thing, so I didn't say it."

Sera Masumi was so frightened that she looked back at her buttocks several times with an expression of disbelief.

Kudo Yuki was watching the fun from the side, with a smile on her face. Conan tugged at Subaru Okiya's clothes and whispered, "Mr. Akai, Sera is your sister, right?"

"Little brother, you really do know everything."

"Then why don't you tell her?"

"Shh, because I want to protect my sister and try not to implicate her."

Sera Masumi squatted down and pestered Huihara Ai with a smile: "Hey, hurry up and tell me, Ai."

"What exactly do you want me to say?" Huibara Ai folded her hands over her chest and turned her head away.

At the same time, Officer Gao Mu received a call. His expression gradually became solemn as the words on the other end of the phone spoke: "Is that so? Okay, sorry to bother you."

Officer Megure asked quickly, "How about when can the appraiser come over?"

"Unfortunately, the appraiser said he can't come until tomorrow."

"What! Are all the appraisers only free tomorrow?" Inspector Megure's voice unconsciously raised a few degrees.

"Yes. Those famous appraisers are either on business trips to other places or overseas, or they are not feeling well and cannot come for the time being."

The three suspects waiting on the side started shouting again.

"Hey, hey, do as you just said."

"Does this mean we have to wait here until tomorrow?"

Toshima Motoyuki hurriedly tried to find an excuse: "That won't do, officer. I can't wait until tomorrow. I have an appointment with a buyer tonight to see this plate. But he's from abroad. If I miss tonight, I don't know when we'll meet again."

Chinji Chono looked anxious: "Tonight the real estate company I founded is holding a 40th anniversary party. On such a memorable day, I will bring this plate over and give a speech to share with everyone the series of twists and turns I went through when I bought this treasure."

Sakamaki Suzue looked at the watch on her wrist and frowned, “Me too, I have something else to do and I have to leave in three hours.

Our art gallery is about to reopen, and we have hired a photographer, rented a studio, and are preparing to take pictures for the brochure. Everything is finalized. They want to take pictures of this plate, and when the time comes, I have to rush over with this plate. "

Officer Gao Mu quickly waved his hand to refuse. "That won't work. The plate is very important evidence in this murder case, so it needs to be temporarily handed over to our police for safekeeping. The same goes for the other two plates."

"Are you kidding me? What about my party tonight?"

"How am I going to explain this to the buyer?"

Officer Megure bowed to the three and apologized: "Everyone calm down first. No matter what, we must not let the murderer of this case go unpunished. Please cooperate with us."

Upon hearing this, the three suspects, although still dissatisfied, stopped making noise and stayed quietly.

Then, Officer Chiba came to the door quickly with the evidence in his hand, "Officer Megure, after investigation, the forensic officer found this thing next to the body. It looks like a hearing aid."

"Hearing aid?" Inspector Megure frowned, placed the evidence at his eye level, and examined it carefully.

Dr. Agasa looked over. "Isn't that the hearing aid Angel I invented?

"This, this, this name..." Inspector Megure was speechless for a moment.

"That was the wireless hearing aid that the victim, Mr. Nishizu, bought from me. It can transform the speaker's voice and the sounds of the surrounding environment into angelic whispers, and softly transmit them to the crazy wearer."

Officer Chiba analyzed: "In this case, the hearing aid must have been accidentally dropped on the ground when the victim was attacked by the murderer."

Officer Megure held the evidence and looked at the three suspects, "Have you three seen this thing before?

"Yes." Toshima Motoyuki was confused. "I was wondering what Mr. Nishizu was wearing on his ears."

Chinji Chono looked calm: "I never thought it was a hearing aid."

Sakamaki Suzue touched the glasses on her nose and said, "Because he was always very smooth when talking to us."

As Kudo Yuki studied the three people's responses and expressions, she felt that the reasons given by Toshima Motoyuki were made up on the spot and made no sense. She secretly pondered over the details that she had missed.
