The group paused briefly at the entrance, exchanged a few words, and then walked together into the crime scene.
A corpse lay starkly on the floor of the room, its surroundings stained with blood, the crimson stains spreading wildly as if telling the tragic story of its fate.
The scene was a complete mess, with items scattered everywhere and in utter chaos.
"The victim this time is the factory manager, Mr. Hisashi Ishikura, who is 50 years old." Inspector Megure, with a solemn expression, introduced the information he had already obtained to the group in a low voice.
"It looks like a robbery and murder!" Kogoro Mouri pointed to the forcibly opened safe and quickly drew his conclusion.
“Yes,” Inspector Megure agreed, “we are indeed investigating the case as a robbery-murder.”
Over there, while everyone was discussing the case in great detail, Yu Shengnan casually pulled up a chair and sat down, and no one came over to accuse him of disturbing the scene.
He turned his gaze to Ayako, who rarely participated in such bloody scenes, and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you feeling alright?"
"No, it's just that the smell is rather unpleasant."
Ayako stood quietly to the side, smelling the pungent odor in the room. She subconsciously pinched her nose, but her expression remained normal, showing no fear or discomfort.
After all, compared to the bloody scene of the previous bandaged monster incident, this is nothing.
Back then, she was able to continue preparing late-night snacks for everyone without changing her expression.
In comparison, this can only be considered a small-scale event now.
"That's true!" Yuzuru Nan also remembered that incident and couldn't help but tease, "Ayako-nee, you've been through high-level games!"
Ayako couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "It's not that exaggerated."
Yuzuru chuckled, resting his chin on his hands, watching with interest as Ai, whom he had just slapped on the head to teach a lesson, went to vent her anger on someone at the door.
Ai, with a cold expression, used the power of the chicken charm to jump up and flick Mitsuhiko and Genta on the head.
"You two stand still at the door and don't go anywhere!" Ai's voice was icy cold, tinged with anger.
Those two guys actually dared to watch my misfortune from the doorway.
If I can't beat Yuzuru Hanyu, I can at least beat the two of you!
"We understand!"
Mitsuhiko and Genta covered their heads, looking aggrieved, but dared not disobey.
A passing policeman saw this scene and thought to himself that these two children were wasting their weight and height, as they were bullied so badly by a little girl.
Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri, who was working with Inspector Megure to solve the case, noticed the commotion at the door and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be an important thing he hadn't done today.
He then grabbed Conan, who was sniffing around the corpse like a toad, and beat him mercilessly before throwing him out the door like trash.
Ah, I feel much better now.
Today's tasks completed!
"A crime scene is not a place for you to wander around!"
Kogoro Mouri shouted.
"I understand, I'm sorry!"
Conan, looking disheveled, rubbed his head where he had been hit and hurriedly ran out of the room, intending to go outside to look for clues.
...
After a lengthy on-site investigation, and with detailed information awaiting autopsy results, the police currently only have information indicating that the deceased died within two hours.
This time period happened to be the same time when Yuzuru and his group were speeding recklessly.
Ayako watched the police investigation for a while, but found it rather boring, so she started wandering around the scene.
As she walked up to a slightly worn-out desk, she stopped, her eyes, which had been squinting, opened slightly as her gaze was drawn to an object on the desk.
There was a slightly yellowed group photo on the table.
"Hanyu, we seem to have met this person before, right?" Ayako picked up the photo and handed it to Hanyu Nan, who was talking to Ai, pointing to the man in the middle of the back row of the photo.
"I have indeed seen it before." Yuzuru took the photo, glanced at it, and then handed it to Ai. "I never expected Ayako-nee to have such a good memory!"
"Hehe, it's alright~" Ayako was a little embarrassed by the praise.
As a director of the group, she has always had a good memory and will not easily forget even someone she has only met once.
What's more, this person was the very person they had violently intercepted just a few hours earlier.
Ai then spoke up, "So, this man named Kenichi Shishido is an employee of this factory."
In terms of memory, this genius scientist is no less impressive.
“In that case, he is highly suspicious!” Ayako’s eyes narrowed even more, her gaze thoughtful. “After hitting the person, he didn’t stop immediately. He had to pass by Factory No. 4. We chased him for a long time before he chose to turn himself in.”
“That’s right!” Ai added calmly, “There are some coincidences. It feels like he’s using us to create an alibi for himself!”
The two highly intelligent older women and the little girl quickly deduced the general truth of the matter based on just this slight discrepancy.
This is why in the world of detectives, detectives are only valued when they are needed; otherwise, they are simply discarded.
Because truly intelligent people have no interest in playing detective.
They have their own careers and lives, and they won't devote too much energy to this dangerous and unstable job.
Yuzuru looked Ayako and Ai up and down.
For some reason, he felt like sparks were flying in the air in front of the two people.
Is it just my imagination?
Do you want me to tell you the truth?
Yuzuru interrupted their thoughts and made a suggestion in a relaxed tone.
Spoilers are fun, and spoilers are even more fun.
Upon hearing this, Ayako and Ai exchanged a glance and refused in unison, "Let's not. We want to find the evidence ourselves."
If you don't treat being a detective as a career and value it above all else...
Playing detective games occasionally is a good idea.
"Alright, whatever." Having failed to spoil the plot, Yuzuru lay back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, and said leisurely, "Then I'll be waiting to see your amazing performance."
With his approval, Ayako and Ai briefly discussed the matter and then split up to carry out their respective tasks.
Ai walked briskly to find Genta and Mitsuhiko, intending to find out everything that happened when they chased the red car.
Ayako then went to Inspector Megure to explain the situation and asked the police to expedite the interrogation of Kenichi Shishido.
Upon learning that the person who hit and injured Ayumi was an employee of this factory, Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri frowned, both agreeing that the other party was indeed highly suspicious.
Without hesitation, they immediately headed to the traffic police station together.
Everything is proceeding smoothly.
