Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
"I don't know him, but I want to participate in the investigation."
When Megure Juzo heard this, his first reaction was to refuse. The other party was just a student at the police academy and had no right to interfere in a vicious murder case. However, when he met Fujiwara Yu's determined eyes, he hesitated.
He suddenly remembered what Onizuka Yazo had told him: the higher-ups at the Metropolitan Police Department seemed to have taken a liking to this kid. So if he gave this kid a chance now, would it be possible to keep him in the Metropolitan Police Department?
Just as Megure Jusan began to struggle internally, Fujiwara Yu mistakenly thought that the other party did not want to give him the opportunity to interfere in the case. He bent down and bowed 90 degrees, saying in a serious tone:
"Inspector Megure, please let me participate in the investigation. Finding the murderer is very important to me!"
Megure Jusan blinked twice, a bit confused. He didn't understand why Fujiwara Yuu was so determined to solve the case when he had never met the victim before. But he soon understood what he was thinking, because Miyano Akemi, who ran up behind him, quietly told him about her encounter with the victim's grandmother.
It turns out that he was blaming himself. If he wasn't allowed to participate in the case, he would probably have a knot in his heart.
Thinking of this, Megure Jusan no longer hesitated. He coughed twice and said:
"I can allow you to participate in the investigation, but you are not allowed to cause any trouble at the scene, and you are not allowed to show off your participation in the investigation. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I won't cause you any trouble."
Megure Jusan waved his hand and asked the other police officers to wait downstairs. He put his hands behind his back and said seriously:
"The crime scene is quite bloody. You must be mentally prepared. Also... as a police officer, you must not let your emotions get the better of you. Using subjective opinions to judge the case will affect accuracy. Do you understand, Fujiwara?"
"Well, I know all this."
Fujiwara Yuu glanced at Saito Masami with gratitude; it was obvious that it was her words that convinced Inspector Megure to let him intervene in the case. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, then followed Inspector Megure into the crime scene. The strong smell of blood, mixed with the stench of feces, hit him in the face.
Having encountered worse situations in his previous life, Fujiwara Yuu looked around the furnishings in the apartment without wearing a mask, looking calmly. Although the space was not big, it had everything. There were also naive paintings on the wall, which were obviously painted by the old grandmother's grandson.
In addition, he could see the family photo on the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall. The spotless area around the photo frame showed that someone wiped it every day. Seeing this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Inspector Megure and asked:
"Inspector Megure, can you tell me where the man and woman of the house are now?"
"They usually work overseas and only come back twice a year. We just spoke by phone and are already buying plane tickets to come back." Megure Jusan knew what Fujiwara was thinking and added, "They have no motive for murder or the possibility of committing a crime. This has been verified by our technicians."
Fujiwara Yu nodded and continued to look around the room. He was not going to miss any tiny clue.
Megure Juzo was standing aside. He was not worried at all that Fujiwara would destroy the scene, because he had already asked his colleagues in the forensic department to conduct the on-site forensics. So he wanted to see what kind of foundation the police academy student that Onizuka always showed off to him had. Judging from his fearless attitude at the crime scene, he was performing excellently.
Megure Juzo, who has been working in the Investigation Division for a long time, has led many new police officers. Some of them will show discomfort when they first encounter a homicide case, but most of them will not be able to resist the physiological reaction when encountering such a vicious homicide case and will run outside to vomit violently. Only a very small number of them are as calm as Fujiwara Yu.
"Officer Megure, can you tell me the information of the two victims?"
"The victim near the entrance was named Hanamori Eko. She was 62 years old and retired, raising her grandson full-time at home. The other victim was only four years old, named Hanamori Isamu, and attended the Mika Nursery School."
Only four years old? That's really cruel.
In Fujiwara Yu's eyes, all murderers are guilty of heinous crimes, but murderers who bully the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled and pregnant women are nothing but irrecyclable garbage among criminals.
After putting on white dust-free gloves, Fujiwara Yu squatted down to perform a preliminary autopsy. Perhaps out of confidence, he believed more in the data he saw.
The victim, Eiko Hanamori, was hit on the head dozens of times with a blunt object. The cause of death was probably the blunt force injury at the junction of the parietal bone and the sphenoid bone. The surface of the murder weapon was probably not smooth, but had bumps.
There were a lot of bruises on the upper part of the body, most of which were concentrated on the back and arms, which indicated that Hanamori Eiko had her back to the victim, but judging from the almost vertical wounds... Hanamori Eiko should have been holding her grandson Hanamori Yong and kneeling on the ground when she was attacked by the gangster.
Thinking of this, Fujiwara Yu couldn't help but frown, and the scene of the old grandmother risking her life to protect her grandson to ensure his safety emerged in his mind. In the face of painful screams, the gangster did not choose to spare his life, but kept hitting the head, which is a very fragile part of the human body, with the mentality of killing the opponent every time he attacked.
He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. Even though he didn't want to guess the process of the crime, in order to solve the case, he still tried his best to recall the circumstances of the crime in his mind. Only in this way could he get useful information.
Just like now, by constructing a murder scenario in his mind, he can simulate the impact point when the murderer hits the victim's head with a blunt object, and thus judge that the criminal is thin and between 1.65 and 1.7 meters tall.
