I can't be a detective even in another world

When they logged into the plot world again, the teleportation location of Niko and the others was in a familiar office.Nico and Conan checked around, and they were able to confirm that this place should be the office where the two teleported in the first stage of the game.

"Dingling, ringing, ringing." Before the two of them could say anything, another familiar phone rang.

"Hi, hello." Nico, who was standing by the desk, answered the phone subconsciously.

"A detective agency?" A somewhat familiar but younger voice came from the other end of the phone, "I am the police officer in charge of the investigation of this case, and my name is Chen Xiaoyong."

"Chen?! Officer Chen." Nico almost couldn't control his volume and called out.He thought with some doubts: Chen Xiaoyong?Is it Chen Xiaoyong from the first case?However, shouldn't Officer Chen be over 40 years old?

"Well. Team Zhou asked me to tell you that we have a new case here. Please come to the police station to assist in the investigation." Chen Xiaoyong's voice from the phone was obviously younger than what he heard before , the tone of speaking is not like what Nico heard for the first time, with the intimacy of some friends, but a strange sense of distance.

"Okay, we'll come over now." After accepting the invitation, Nico hung up the phone in a daze, looked back at Conan, and asked, "Tell me, this Chen Xiaoyong and the Chen Xiaoyong who contacted us during the first case Xiaoyong, is he alone?"

"The voice sounds very familiar." Conan replied, "However, the possibility of different plot worlds for the same character is not ruled out. Anyway, let's go and have a look first."

"Yeah." Nico took a deep breath to calm down.Familiar with driving, they took out a car key from a drawer in the office, and the two drove out of the office and drove to the police station.

Nico did not turn on the navigation on the way from the office to the police station.As soon as he drove on the road, he was surprised to find that even the route from the office to the police station was exactly the same as in the first case.When the two arrived at the police station, what was even more surprising was that the police station was the same as in the first world.The only difference is that the equipment here looks newer and should not be used for very long.The trees planted in the yard of the police station have not yet grown up, just a row of dwarf trees half the height of a person.

After the two parked their cars in the yard, a young police officer came out to meet them and took them to Chen Xiaoyong.

Next to the interrogation room, in a temporarily cleared office, the information about this case has been sorted out and placed on the table.A serious-looking police officer who looked about 30 years old was sitting quietly beside the desk, holding documents in his hand, studying the suspicious points of the case.

"Hello." Nico stood outside the door, instead of going in directly, he stopped outside the office door and knocked politely.

Chen Xiaoyong, who was reading the case files, looked up when he heard the sound.His eyes swept over the two of them and stopped on Conan.After a while, he got up and said hello: "Hello, I am the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and my name is Chen Xiaoyong. In this case, I am in charge of joint investigation with you."

"Hello, I'm Nico. This is my colleague, Conan." Nico replied with a smile, looking at Conan with a playful look.

"Hello." Listening to Nico's introduction, Conan felt Chen Xiaoyong's gaze and nodded.This time he didn't pretend to be a child to speak, instead, he raised his hands and feet with a maturity different from that of a child's body.

"Hello." After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Xiaoyong turned around and walked back to his desk.Picking up the materials, he introduced, "Here are all the materials that have been sorted out about this case so far, and you two can check them out by yourself. Due to time constraints, I will briefly tell you about the specifics of this case. .”

"Okay, I'm sorry." Nico nodded in agreement, and he and Conan sat across from Chen Xiaoyong at the desk.

"The name of the deceased in the case was Lin Tai, 20 years old, male. He was a student in the Chinese Department of W City University, a junior this year. The first person who discovered the body was the deceased's friend Yu Liang, who was also the reporter of this case. The cause of death of the deceased was determined after a forensic examination, which was due to excessive blood loss caused by a ruptured left hand artery.

According to the statement of the reporter, Yu Liang, he went to the scene of the crime this morning because he wanted to take the deceased to the meeting place they had agreed on yesterday.But because there was no response to knocking on the door for a long time, Yu Liang, who was worried about an accident, opened the door with a spare key and entered the deceased's rented room. Then he found the dead body lying in the bathtub. "Chen Xiaoyong introduced.

"Officer Chen, did you find any clues when collecting evidence at the crime scene?" Nico and the two looked at the photos of the crime scene investigation and evidence collection, and asked Officer Chen carefully.

"According to our investigation at the time, the scene of the crime was neat and tidy, without any traces of dragging or fighting. It can be confirmed that the first scene of the crime was in the bathroom of his rental house. We found a button during the investigation. After comparing the wardrobe of the deceased, it was found that the button did not belong to the deceased. But after inspection, we found that the button had been dropped in the bathroom for a while, and it was not left there at the time of the crime.” Chen Xiaoyong said.

"If there are no traces of fighting, it's very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime." Nico thought for a while and said, "What about the state of the corpse? Is there any doubt?"

"Judging from the condition of the corpse, the deceased's clothes were completely dressed, neither messy nor damaged. Jing Yuliang pointed out that the deceased's clothes were still the same as they saw yesterday. That is to say, basically It's confirmed that the time of the incident happened right after Lin Tai left school and separated from her friends," Chen Xiaoyong said.

"The crime scene is neat, and the deceased's body is well-dressed. These clues sound like they all point to the conclusion of suicide." Conan pushed his glasses and received, "But this case has been classified as homicide. It is because of the wounds injured by the deceased. ?"

"It seems that Zhou, the team recommended you to assist in the investigation. There is no reason at all. At least there is some knowledge base for reasoning." Chen Xiaoyong looked at the two with a slightly relaxed expression.A forensic photo of the crime scene was handed over to the two of them.Continued: "When we arrived at the scene, we found that the knife marks on the deceased's wrist did not match the self-inflicted wounds of the suicide. According to the suicide note, we finally decided to classify the case as homicide to investigate and gather evidence."

"Can you show us the suicide note?" Conan asked after hearing Chen Xiaoyong's words.

"Please." Chen Xiaoyong handed a suicide note in an evidence bag to the two of them, gesturing.

"It's troublesome." Nico finished the bag, and without much greetings, he and Conan got together to study the suicide note.

The paper used to write the suicide note was obviously torn from that notebook.Judging by the material of the paper and the lace that comes with it, it looks like the paper in the notebooks that college students like to use now.On the suicide note, three large characters were written in the center of the suicide note, as if it was the last confession of the deceased before death. It said: "I was wrong".

"This suicide note..." Nico frowned and was about to ask.

Chen Xiaoyong explained: "We asked the deceased's friend to identify it carefully, and also conducted a handwriting test. We can confirm that this is not the deceased's handwriting. In other words, this note is probably left by the murderer."

"Why did the murderer write this sentence?" Nico didn't understand. "What did he think the deceased did wrong?"

"This will not be known for the time being." Conan said from the side, "Although according to the information compiled by the police, the deceased Lin Tai was indeed very popular during his lifetime, but it is not certain whether everyone really loved him. With good intentions."

"The two of you don't have to rush to reason." Chen Xiaoyong interrupted the analysis of the two, and suggested, "We have contacted a few friends who have a good relationship with the deceased to understand the situation. It is a matter of time. You can go to understand the situation first, and then come back to reason.”

"Okay." Niko and the two nodded, and asked, "Who will be assigned to us?"

"Yu Liang." Chen Xiaoyong got up and led the two of them to the interrogation room on one side. The shrunken figure of the young man appeared in front of them through the glass window.
