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

Chapter 237 Mystery at the Shrine: An unexpected murder at the Haido Shrine

Sato Miwako looked in the direction of Kudo Yuki, "According to the testimony of Xiaolan and the others, the victim, Inspector Bing Gao, was queuing up to buy a red seal to pray for marriage.

Then, while saying that this is indeed a shrine for finding love, and that I have already met three people here, I rushed out of the line to chase someone. Right?"

Toyama Kazuha and Mao Lilan nodded. "That's right."

Miwako Sato stood up. "It is the job of the criminal search team to take note of the wanted criminal's face and arrest him immediately after finding him. The three people mentioned by this detective should mean there are three wanted criminals.

It seems that among the three wanted criminals in the grounds of Haido Shrine, there is probably one who killed Inspector Higashika."

Mao Lilan was puzzled: "But why would a detective come to buy amulets and red seals for marriage?"

Yuanshan Heye tilted his head and guessed: "Did his daughter ask him to buy it?"

Hattori Heiji stood next to Toyama Kazuha wearing a voice changer with Conan's bow and a fox mask. "Maybe it's because he's from the criminal search team. I heard that some detectives from the criminal search team would buy amulets for marriage in order to find the criminals."

There was a flash of surprise in Toyama Kazuha's eyes, and he praised: "Mr. Mitsumoto, you are really amazing! What the detective said just now is the same as what Mr. Mitsumoto deduced before. You can be a detective."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji raised his head slightly and said, "Well, watch me."

But the next second, he heard Toyama Kazuha add, "But he's still weaker than Heiji."

Hattori Heiji immediately got furious, "Idiot, I won't lose to that guy."

At this time, Shushu appeared in Kudo Yuki's pocket, with his little head sticking out, his eyes shining, ready to watch the show.

Conan looked at Hattori Heiji, his mouth twitching, and complained in his heart: "Don't be so competitive now. It's understandable that Xiaolan didn't recognize him, but Kazuha, who grew up with him, didn't recognize Hattori because of the different voice. Maybe she already recognized him, so why... It's scary to think about it. ]

Conan shuddered at the thought.

"Conan." Yuanshan Heye's voice caught him off guard. "Why are you looking so serious? Are you thinking about the case?"

Conan scratched his head: "Ah, well, I guess so. I was wondering what Brother Heiji is doing now?"

"Are you talking about that stupid mystery geek?" Yuanshan Heye joked, "He must be sleeping with drooling now."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji raised his hands and clenched his fists to express his dissatisfaction.

Mao Lilan saw the man's angry movements, and her heart moved. She wanted to remind Yuanshan Heye, "Wait a minute, Heye."

Conan raised his eyebrows, looking like he was enjoying the show, and muttered to himself: "It's over, it looks like I've been exposed. Hattori, what are you going to do?"

Officer Takagi handcuffed the three suspects.

Sato Miwako was confused: "By the way, why didn't the three of them run away and stay in the yard?"

"Yes, everyone seems to have their own reasons." Officer Takagi began to report the situation. "The habitual thief Shamoto Tsurumi was tied up by handcuffs and bicycle anti-theft wire ropes at the iron pillar of the parking lot street lamp."

Upon hearing this, Kudo Yuki walked quickly to the parking lot not far away, where the anti-theft wire rope was tied up. She squatted down and observed carefully, "Meihezi, there is a lock here."

Miwako Sato and her friends came over wearing white gloves. Miwako Sato held the chain in her hand and demonstrated while talking.

"I used anti-theft wire rope to pass through the handcuffs chain, like this. The handcuffs and wire rope seem to be something that the murdered police officer Bing Gao had repaired. But wouldn't it be better to just fix the handcuffs to the iron pillar? Why use wire rope?"

Shamoto Tsurumi adjusted her glasses and said, "That policeman did this on purpose. He said he wanted to chase other wanted criminals.

Although I had handcuffed it directly to the iron pole at first, I was teased by the kids who parked their bikes. So he used the bicycle's anti-theft rope to lean against the iron pole and crossed his arms, making it look like I was waiting for someone else. "

"So when the crime happened, you were handcuffed here the whole time?"

"Yes, it is. And there's a police station across from the parking lot exit, and I'm not planning on running away."

"But why didn't Chief Inspector Bing ask the police from the police station to help?"

Officer Takagi rejected the suggestion: "No, he did look for them. But on the way here, he received an order to go somewhere else. It seemed that there was a quarrel at the entrance of the shrine."

"Yes, I was the one who quarreled." Kawano Torahiko led the police with handcuffs on his shoulders. "When I was walking through the archway in a panic, I bumped into a group of hooligans and started quarreling. Just when we were quarreling fiercely, the police from the police station came."

Sato Miwako looked at him in confusion: "Are you so panicked because you think you have been discovered by Inspector Binggao?"

"Yes, when I saw him chasing that female thief, I realized he was a policeman."

"Then why didn't you leave those hooligans and run away?" Sato Miwako looked at him suspiciously, "You must have been a boxer before."

"Because they spoke so arrogantly, I got angry."

Hattori Heiji came up wearing a fox mask and deliberately provoked: "Are you using the blood of those hooligans to cover up the blood that splashed when you beat the police?"

"What did you say?" Kawano Torahiko was enraged by this and strode up to Hattori Heiji. "Besides, I won't use a flagpole. I will just hit him with my fists."

Hattori Heiji continued to provoke and test: "Isn't it because your boxing skills have declined and you can't hit the police?"

Kawano Torahiko clenched his fists, with his left fist making an attacking gesture, "You bastard, believe it or not, I will smash your face to pieces."

Yuanshan and Ye hurried forward to dissuade him: "Don't provoke him."

Miwako Sato frowned slightly, approached Kawano Torahiko, and pulled his ear, causing Kawano Torahiko to feel pain. "It hurts, it hurts."

Officer Takagi looked at Sato Miwako's angry expression and didn't dare to breathe.

Miwako Sato used a little force and said seriously: "Do you understand your current situation?" Then she let go of her hand.

Kawano Torahiko covered his ears to relieve the pain.

Officer Takagi looked at Hattori Heiji who was wearing a fox mask and asked, "By the way, who is that person? Why is he wearing a mask?"

Yuanshan Heye hurriedly explained: "It's my friend. He has severe burns on his face and has to cover it with a mask."

"I see." Officer Takagi nodded.

Finally, Miwako Sato and others brought Kyouma Kamuchi to the location of the crime.

“I didn’t run away,” Kyouma Kamuchi said. “Rather, I didn’t think I was found by the police. I left my wallet in the yard, so I wandered around looking for it.”

"Looking for a wallet?" Officer Takagi asked puzzledly.

"Yes. Not to mention the money, there were also cash cards and car keys. Then, I was stopped by this policeman."

Miwako Sato folded her arms across her chest and said, "The wanted criminal that Inspector Higashi found is another person in this courtyard besides you. You want to say that you have nothing to do with his actions and you were just caught by chance."

"Yes, that person may have escaped."

"Hmm?" Kudo Yuki looked at Kamui Kyouma, "Obviously, your story doesn't match the clues left on you."

Conan looked down at Kamiuchi Kyouma's trouser legs and said, "There's a lot of mud splashed on your trouser legs."

Hattori Heiji also came over and bent down. "So, running on the melting snow would cause this. But you said you were walking slowly, so why did you run?"

"I've already told you, this is..." Kyouma Kamui hesitated and couldn't explain it clearly.

Hattori Heiji tried to test: "Hey, is there something stuck under your right eye?"

Kamui Kyouma panicked and covered the area under his right eye with his left hand. Hattori Heiji was confused by his reaction and said, "Ah, so that's your mole."

This time, Kyouma Kamui was completely speechless.

Miwako Sato looked at the three suspects and asked, "By the way, what are you doing at this shrine?"

Kamiuchi Kyouma continued his lies: "I came here to buy the marriage amulet as bait because of my job. If I use it as a gift, the girl will open her heart.

After hearing this, Toyama Kazuha and Mao Li Ran glared at Kamuchi Kyouma.

"What a scumbag."

"Yes."

Kamiuchi Kyouma pretended to be depressed, "I thought I could buy the amulet smoothly. But I found that my wallet was lost, and there was 10 yen in it."

"Stop bragging." Shamoto Tsurumi exposed: "There's only 3,000 yen in it."

Kamiuchi Kyouma was puzzled: "Why do you know?"

"Because I took your wallet, I threw away the wallet and cards. But I plan to search your car again later, so the car keys are still in your pocket. I'm going to expose you before you reveal yourself."

Kamiuchi Kyouma was angry: "You stinky bitch, it's all because of you that I can't escape even if I want to."

Sato Miwako glared at him, with a slightly warning tone: "Do you want to escape?"

Kamiuchi Kyouma shuddered and then calmed down, "Ah, no, that's because..."

Miwako Sato turned her head and looked at Tsurumi Shamoto, "But I looked at your records. Didn't you stop stealing things?"

"Yes, I haven't stolen for a while because I found a good man to support me. But that man was in a traffic accident and broke his leg and couldn't move anymore. I wanted to go back to my old job and make some money, so I came to this crowded shrine."

Miwako Sato asked, "Where was the scene of the traffic accident?"

"It's at the intersection of Toriya-cho 1-chome."

Miwako Sato pointed at Kawano Torahiko and said, "Then I think the criminal who hit your boyfriend is this person."

"What did you say!" Shamoto Tsurumi's voice rose several decibels, and she raised her foot to kick Kawano Torahiko, "It's all because of you that I have to suffer this."

"I'm sorry about the accident."

After hearing this, Shamoto Tsurumi continued to kick him, "What's your attitude?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts." Kawano Torahiko begged for mercy repeatedly.

Shamoto Tsurumi screamed in anger.

Officer Takagi comforted her and calmed her down a little.

Miwako Sato asked Kawano Torahiko, "Then what are you doing here?"

"I just came here to buy a red stamp for my sister. She spent a lot of money on her boyfriend, but he still dumped her. She's so sad."

Kawano Torahiko glared at Kamiuchi Kyouma, "By the way, isn't that man you? He looks exactly like the photo my sister showed me."

Kamiuchi Kyouma tried to get away with it, "You, what are you talking about?"

Shamoto Tsurumi interrupted angrily, "Stop arguing, you have to solve my problem first."

Kamiuchi Kyouma refused to give in: "Stop being so arrogant and give me the car keys."

Kawano Torahiko refused to give up, "You are the one who should be held responsible, you marriage fraudster."

Kudo Yuki looked at the three people quarreling and didn't expect this to happen. Sato Miwako and Officer Takagi looked at the three people quarreling awkwardly.

Toyama Kazuha, Mouri Ran, Conan and Hattori Heiji were a little dumbfounded by this sudden change in "style".

“This has become a three-legged race.”

“It’s like rock-paper-scissors.”

Conan's mouth twitched: "Indeed."

After a while, Sato Miwako and her friends returned to the original crime scene. The three criminals were taken to the scene of the deceased by two assistants.

Miwako Sato put her hands on her hips. "The problem is that we haven't found the flagpole yet. And the bloodstains on the flag placed on the steps are consistent with those of the murdered Inspector Higashi. If the criminal is among those three, the flagpole should be somewhere in this yard."

Officer Takagi guessed: "There should be another wanted criminal."

Miwako Sato thought for a few seconds and said, "If he took the flagpole away, then everything makes sense."

Conan came over at this time, "The flagpole may be in the box next to this snowman, because there are many flagpoles and flags waiting to be assembled."

Miwako Sato continued: "The box has been checked by forensic personnel, and there is no blood reaction."

"Is that so?" Conan was a little disappointed.

Hattori Heiji asked: "But why are these things placed here?"

"While the staff were assembling the equipment, Kawano started a quarrel under the entrance archway, so he stopped what he was doing to join in the fun. That's why no one saw Inspector Bing Gao fall down the stairs."

Toyama Kazuha and Maoli Ran were attracted by the snowman next to them.

"There are these little snowmen everywhere. They're so cute."

"It was probably done by the kids from the neighborhood."

As soon as the words fell, there was a slight sound, and then a ball on the snowman's face fell off.

Miwako Sato squatted down and picked up the ball on the ground, "It's a capsule toy from the gashapon machine. When we were kids, we used oranges to make snowman eyes." As she said that, she put the capsule toy back to its original place.

Kudo Yuki frowned and thought to herself: [The sound just now... it was as if something fell from the snow.]

When Sato Miwako stood up, her feet slipped and Officer Takagi held her up. "Please be careful, there are still many places on the ground that are covered with ice."

After Miwako Sato stood firm, she withdrew from Officer Takagi's support and said, "Thank you."

Kudo Yuki looked up at the stairs and said, "There should be a faucet on the stairs, right?"

Officer Takagi replied: "Yes, I remember there seemed to be a pool."

Hattori Heiji squatted down and whispered to Conan: "The murder weapon is not missing, but we didn't notice it."

Conan looked up at the pool. "The murder weapon is right in front of us."
