Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World
Chapter 60 An Incident on the Tennis Court
In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the window onto Kudo Yuki's face. She was leisurely reading the latest series of Kudo Yusaku's novel at Kudo's house.
The phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence. Kudo Yuki held the phone with one hand and answered it without even looking at who was calling.
Amuro Toru's voice came from the other end of the line: "Xiaoxue, it's rare that you have time today, how about coming out to play tennis with me?"
Kudo Yuki thought that she was free anyway and she hadn't exercised for a long time, so she agreed: "I don't have anything to do at home, so I decided happily."
Toru Amuro seemed relieved: "Okay, I'll pick you up at your door." After that, he hung up the phone.
Kudo Yuki put down the novel in her hand, opened her closet and began to choose suitable sportswear. She chose a simple white sweatshirt and black sports shorts, paired with a pair of white sneakers, which looked comfortable and energetic. She also tied her hair into a ponytail, which made her look more capable.
Kudo Yuki put on her backpack, and Shushu took the opportunity to jump into it. Shushu tucked his whole body into the backpack, knowing that there would be fun things to do today.
Not long after, Amuro Toru rang the doorbell. Kudo Yuki opened the door and looked at Amuro Toru in a sweatshirt, her eyes lit up.
Amuro Toru looked very handsome in a dark blue sweatshirt and white sports shorts, paired with a pair of black sneakers. His hair stuck to his forehead, making him look even more sunny.
Amuro Toru looked at Kudo Xue's sparkling eyes, ruffled her hair, and smiled gently: "Xiaoxue, let's go. I'll take you to the tennis court to play."
Kudo Yuki closed the door and followed Amuro Toru into the car. Along the way, she and Amuro Toru talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the tennis court.
The tennis court is located in a park with a very beautiful environment. The court is surrounded by trees and flowers, and the air is fresh, making people feel very comfortable.
When they arrived at the tennis court, there were already some people playing tennis. Amuro Toru took Kudo Yuki to an empty court, took out two rackets and some tennis balls, and handed Kudo Yuki a racket.
Toru Amuro asked: "Xiaoxue, can you play tennis?"
Kudo Yuki took the racket and replied, "A little bit."
Toru Amuro began to do some simple warm-up exercises: "Then let's warm up first."
Kudo Yuki also did some warm-up exercises, then picked up the racket and tried to hit a few balls. She found that her skills were pretty good and she could easily receive the balls from Amuro Toru.
Amuro Toru smiled and said, "It seems that you fight pretty well."
Kudo Yuki agreed modestly: "I've played with Conan and the others before."
Amuro Toru suggested: "Then let's have a game."
"Okay!" Kudo Yuki agreed readily.
Toru Amuro and Yuki Kudo came to the court. They did some warm-up exercises and then started playing tennis.
Toru Amuro's tennis skills are very superb. His serves and shots are very powerful, making it difficult for Kudo Yuki to deal with him.
Kudo Yuki was not to be outdone. She tried hard to return Amuro Toru's balls and constantly adjusted her tactics.
Under the guidance of Toru Amuro, Kudo Yuki's tennis skills gradually improved, and she was able to hit some beautiful returns.
They played a few rounds, and Yuki Kudo's skills impressed Toru Amuro. Her serve was powerful and her return was accurate, which made Toru Amuro a little overwhelmed.
Toru Amuro couldn't help but admire: "Xiaoxue, your ball skills are pretty good!"
Kudo Yuki humbly agreed: "Thank you for the compliment. I also like to play tennis, so I am quite good at it."
They continued to fight for a while, their clothes were soaked with sweat, but they had no intention of stopping, and became more and more excited.
During the game, Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru chatted a lot. They talked about each other's life, work, interests and hobbies, and enhanced their understanding of each other.
Shushu was watching the two people playing tennis in the backpack and was very excited. He jumped out of the backpack and ran to the side of the tennis court, adding a bit of joy to their playing.
At this time, Suzuki Sonoko, Maori Kogoro, Maori Ran and Conan also came to the tennis court. They saw the game between Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru and came over to watch.
Suzuki Sonoko exclaimed: "Wow, Sister Xue is so amazing!"
Mao Lilan also praised and agreed: "Yes, her ball skills are better than mine."
Conan smiled and said, "Sister Xue's motor nerves have always been well developed."
"But Toru Amuro is also very good." Maori Kogoro touched his chin, "the two of them are really evenly matched."
The game was very intense, with both sides hitting some difficult shots. At the last minute of the game, Yuki Kudo hit a beautiful winning shot and won the game. Toru Amuro also applauded and congratulated her.
Amuro Toru smiled and murmured, "Congratulations, Xiaoxue!"
"Kudo Yukiya responded with a smile: "Thank you, Amuro Toru!
Before they knew it, the game had lasted two hours. Both Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru were sweating, but they both felt very happy and satisfied. They came to the rest area, drank some water, and then sat on a bench to rest.
"Xiaoxue, thank you for playing with me today." Amuro Toru looked at Kudo Yuki with gentle eyes, "I haven't been this happy in a long time."
"I'm happy too." Kudo Yuki smiled like a bright light, "Thank you for bringing me here to play basketball."
"By the way, Xiaoxue." Amuro Toru suddenly wanted an answer, "I have a question for you."
Kudo Yuki asked curiously, "What's the problem?"
Amuro Toru asked seriously: "What do you think of me?"
Kudo Yuki was a little stunned by Amuro Toru's question. She didn't expect Amuro Toru to ask her this question suddenly. She thought about it and then answered: "I think you are a very good person. You are smart, brave, kind, and have a strong sense of justice."
After hearing what Kudo Yuki said, Amuro Toru smiled. He said slowly, "Thank you for your compliment. I will always be by your side."
Kudo Yuki was shocked by Amuro Toru's words. She didn't dare to think too much, so she happily agreed: "Zero, you said it, don't regret it."
When Toru Amuro saw that Kudo Yuki agreed to his request so readily, he realized that Kudo Yuki did not hear the hidden meaning in his words.
The corners of Amuro Toru's mouth slightly lifted, revealing a more charming smile: "Xiaoxue, I will let you understand what kind of emotional bond you have with me."
At this time, Conan was standing next to his sister and Amuro Toru, watching their interaction quietly, like a bystander watching a show.
However, at this moment, a tennis racket suddenly flew over, so fast that people had no time to react.
Amuro Toru shouted loudly: "There is danger!"
But it was too late. The tennis racket hit Conan directly on the head. Conan felt a black screen in front of his eyes and passed out.
When Conan woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed with two bandages on his head. After the doctor's examination, it was determined that he only had a slight concussion and was fine.
Kudo Yuki walked up to Conan, her face full of concern: "Conan, how do you feel now?"
Conan was confused for a few seconds before he replied, "Sister Xue, I'm fine, don't worry too much." After that, Conan yawned, felt a little sleepy, and fell asleep again.
When Conan woke up again, he found a man lying on the ground in the room.
Outside the door, Taoyuan Qinyin seemed a little overwhelmed: "The door is locked, and I forgot to bring the spare key. What should I do?"
Amuro Toru stepped forward and said, "In that case, let me open the lock directly. I am actually very good at this kind of thing."
As he spoke, Amuro Toru took out a thin wire from his pocket and tried to open the door by inserting it back and forth in the keyhole. With a "click" sound, Amuro Toru turned his head and looked at everyone: "It seems to be open."
However, when Toru Amuro tried to push the door open, he found that the door could not be pushed open. He frowned and checked carefully, only to find that the door seemed to be blocked by something. Toru Amuro looked through the crack in the door and saw Conan in the house.
Conan's face was filled with fear, and he shouted angrily, "Don't open the door! You can't open the door, because it's Mr. Ishikuri's body that's blocking the door!"
When Kudo Yuki heard Conan's words, her face turned pale. She immediately picked up her phone and called 110. Soon, the search team arrived at the scene. They took samples from every corner of the room, leaving no clues or traces unturned.
Conan looked at Kudo Yuki beside him and said in a serious tone: "Sister, in my opinion, this is definitely a closed room murder case."
Kudo Yuki nodded slightly, her eyes revealing affirmation: "Your conclusion is correct. Then, based on everything you know now, tell me your speculation."
In fact, Kudo Yuki used her special skill "True Reproduction" to clearly understand the cause and effect of this case.
At this time, a police officer who was assisting in the investigation stood beside Kudo Yuki and Conan and said, "According to what was found at the scene, Mr. Ishikuri, who was practicing swinging the tennis racket, slipped and threw it out, and then the racket accidentally hit the bookshelf.
When he bent down to pick up the racket, Mr. Ishikuri died in a supine position. Strictly speaking, this way of reasoning should be more correct. "
Conan frowned and pointed out the doubts: "If this is the case, then the racket should have fallen closer to the bookshelf. And if he was lying on his back because of the struggle, then the vase that looks heavy should not have fallen near his shoulder.
Also, when the vase fell, it seemed to have knocked a big dent in the floor directly below the bookshelf. I woke up from my sleep when I heard a loud 'bang' sound. If the vase really fell, it was definitely not an accident."
After hearing this, the police took two steps forward and asked in confusion: "Why?"
Conan continued to explain: "Because after I found it, I immediately touched the body and the vase, but no matter where the blood was, it was all dried up.
This means that Mr. Ishikuri was already dead when the loud noise was heard. The blood-stained vase must have fallen to the floor after his death."
After analyzing what Conan said, the police also felt that it made sense and responded: "That makes sense."
Conan continued to analyze: "It was such a loud noise, so the other people who were in the villa at the time should have heard it, right? Do you want to go and check it out?"
Kudo Yuki came closer to the flower pot and looked at the blood on it carefully: "Conan, have you thought of anything else? Why did this blood-stained vase fall? And how can we move the body of Mr. Ishikuri, who is relatively fat, to the side of the door without getting any blood on the floor."
Conan touched his hair and said in distress: "I'm not sure about this yet."
Kudo Yuki gently stroked her brother's hair: "After saying so much, Conan can make a definite conclusion, that is, the murderer of this closed room murder case is definitely one of the three people who came to this villa and stood opposite the door." Conan nodded in agreement.
Then, Kudo Yuki looked at Conan and asked, "Conan, do you know what's going on with the air conditioning in this room?"
Conan answered truthfully: "At first I was just lying on the sofa, but the air conditioner in the living room seemed to have a problem, so I moved to this room. I don't know why, but when I got up, I found that the air conditioner had been turned off."
The police officer who was assisting in the case looked at the box on the table and asked curiously, "What is on that table?"
Conan replied: "It was an ice cream cake. Mr. Ishikuri said that because there was a little cake left yesterday, he wanted to eat it directly for lunch, but it had all melted."
Kudo Yuki cleared her throat and said, "Conan, do you want to go with your sister to listen to other people's different opinions?"
Conan walked straight to Kudo Yuki's side, and the policeman who was assisting in the case followed him downstairs.
After going downstairs, the policeman who was assisting in the case saw Kogoro Mouri and ran straight to him, reporting to him in detail everything the three had discussed upstairs.
Toru Amuro listened quietly, and after the police officer who was assisting in the case finished speaking, Toru Amuro continued: "For the criminal, these may be two unexpected situations caused by miscalculations when he committed the crime.
First, I didn’t expect Conan to be sleeping wrapped in a blanket in the room; second, I didn’t expect that I could successfully unlock the locked door of the room. "
Kudo Yuki thought along the lines of Amuro Toru and said, "If these two accidents hadn't happened, everyone would have walked along the balcony of the next room, and through the window, they would have discovered that Mr. Ishikuri hadn't come out of the door at all, and the police would have rushed over after receiving the report.
Later, when we broke the window and entered the room, it was very hot, so even if the blood had dried up, it wouldn’t be surprising.”
Amuro Toru looked at Kudo Yuki and added his analysis: "Even if everyone discovered that Mr. Ishikuri was in trouble through the window and broke in immediately, everyone would focus not on whether the blood had dried up, but whether Mr. Ishikuri was alive or dead.
Afterwards, the police who arrived at the scene would have thought that Mr. Ishikuri had suffered a massive hemorrhage from his head and collapsed in front of the door, and that they were unable to rescue him in time and therefore died.”
Amuro Toru lowered his body and looked at Conan with a smile: "You have done a great job, Conan."
Conan was so embarrassed that he didn't say a word, but held on tightly to the corner of his sister's clothes.
The policeman looked at Maori Kogoro and asked curiously: "Who is he?"
Maori Kogoro cleared his throat and answered proudly, "He is my number one disciple detective."
