After glancing at the serious-looking Kōyū, Conan pursed his lips but didn't argue with him, as the case was more important.

Turning his gaze away, Conan walked to Inspector Megure's side and asked, "Inspector Megure, was this case really an accident?"

"Hmm?" Inspector Megure and Takagi looked at Conan after hearing this. The former asked, "Conan, judging from the current situation, it is indeed an accident. Did you make a new discovery when you said that?"

He didn't make any definitive statements, instead using phrases like "judging from the current situation" to save face beforehand.

He had handled murders before that appeared to be accidents but were actually meticulously planned.

This made him more cautious.

In addition, in some similar cases, Conan often sees details that others don't.

Some cases they had already concluded were accidents, but the details Conan discovered directly overturned that conclusion.

This turned an accident into a murder.

Therefore, he still takes what Conan says to heart.

To be honest, he was quite grateful to Conan.

If it weren't for his discovery, those cases might have been closed as accidents, and the real culprits would have gone unpunished.

Of course, their subsequent investigations may uncover this, but by then, the real culprit may have already fled abroad.

At that time, it will be much more difficult to arrest people.

The sooner we catch the real culprit, the better; this kind of thing can't be delayed.

If you encounter a serial killer, and the culprit is caught even a day later, it could mean someone might die as a result.

That's not the outcome he wanted to see.

That's why, after hearing what Conan said, Inspector Megure had a moment of self-doubt.

"Was this incident really an accident? Could there be something I missed?"

"But... given the current situation, the possibility of an accident is indeed quite high."

Conan, of course, had no idea that Inspector Megure had thought of so many things in such a short time, and he continued to ask the two of them.

"Taimi came to this place last year, so she should know roughly how big it is, and she should also know that there's a cliff on the other side of the fence, right?"

"But why would she still rush towards the fence?"

"It's because it was dark and there was no light around, so Ms. Taimi didn't see the fence," Takagi replied.

After reading it, he felt that Inspector Megure's words made sense, and many things could be reasonably explained. He felt that this case was indeed an accident.

"If that's the case, then we should be even more careful, right?" Conan maintained his puzzled expression on the surface, but inwardly he felt somewhat helpless.

He's given such obvious hints, how can you still naively believe this case was an accident?

“I think any normal person would be more careful in this situation, because she knows that going any further might be dangerous.”

“This…” Takagi was speechless for a moment.

"Officer Takagi, if it were you, would you be more careful?" Conan looked up at Takagi with an "innocent" expression and asked.

"Of course I'll be careful..." Takagi's voice trailed off as she spoke.

"Is it possible that she was overjoyed to win first place and accidentally fell down?" Inspector Megure asked after thinking for a moment.

“It’s not impossible,” Takagi nodded, following Inspector Megure’s words, and continued, “Maybe she was a little slow to react, which is why she fell.”

Upon hearing this, Kōyū was speechless at Takagi's words.

He could tell that Inspector Megure was starting to have some doubts, but Takagi still didn't seem to grasp the point and thought it was an accident.

In fact, Takagi does have the ability to solve cases, and Mitsuyu is well aware of this.

In the "Sorrowful Man" case, Takagi solved the case quickly by reasoning on his own without the help of others.

Takagi is like this now simply because he's a little confused.

This situation will begin to improve as he handles more cases, or even solves more cases independently.

At that time, getting promoted to assistant police inspector shouldn't be a problem.

The police inspector could consider it.

If it gets any higher, that depends on Takagi's own efforts.

But that's all for the future. Right now, Takagi's reaction is just... a bit hard to process.

Shaking his head, Kōyū originally intended to wait in the campervan with Ai, but his gaze inadvertently fell on the headlights of the bicycle.

Since going back would only mean waiting, and thinking it better to find something to do, Kōyū started walking towards the bicycle with Ai.

"If Taimi fell from here, she should have landed on the road below." Conan slowly walked to the gap and looked down.

"So, there will be bloodstains where Tae-mi's head hits her on that road down there, right?"

This sentence finally made Inspector Megure and Takagi realize what was going on.

“That’s right.” After thinking for a moment, Inspector Megure realized that Conan was absolutely right. He turned to Takagi and asked.

"Brother Takagi, have you found anything down there?"

“We found a few pieces of broken lampshade on the road, but we didn’t find any blood.” Takagi’s expression also became serious.

"What did you say?" Inspector Megure lowered his head and thought for a moment. "If that's the case, then this case isn't so simple."
