Chapter 2147-2158 [Ultimate Use]
The two characters were just like this, one lying stiffly on the ground, and the other swaying around and hanging up.
The audience began to murmur, "What is that Oto guy hesitating about? Why doesn't he pursue? One more punch would have sent Lucas packing."
Another person seemed to understand: "He will definitely deliver the final blow the moment Lucas stands up - this guy is very vicious, and among all the ways to win, he will definitely choose the one that will hit the opponent the most."
"I see!"
So everyone continued to watch the screen, waiting for the despicable but passionate final blow.
But I didn't wait for a long time.
Instead, as time passed, the word "Draw" in capital letters suddenly popped up on the screen, indicating a tie.
——The time ran out. Since neither side was completely dead, the system determined that the two were tied.
“…What the hell?!”
The crowd was furious, and they all looked at Oto Kengo. If it weren't for the reputation of this little thug, they would have rushed over to complain to him - the game ended in a draw with just one last blow, which was really painful.
Upon seeing this, the person closest to him suddenly realized something was wrong: "O-Oto, are you okay?"
Conan was startled and his detective radar started moving.
Jiang Xia also walked over immediately.
The two of them walked around to the gaming chair and saw that Kengo Oto was sitting motionless with his eyes open - he looked like he was dead.
…
A body was found, people screamed, called the police, Inspector Megure arrived with many police officers, and the young police officers cordoned off the street...
This series of processes has been repeated hundreds and thousands of times, smooth and skillful.
In the game room, Judy watched this smooth scene and pinched her brows with a headache.
Judy: "..." Why, why did things turn out like this?
Judging from the situation, she couldn't continue playing games today. Her plan to beat Jiang Xia and make him obsessed with her was also ruined... She had originally taken a fancy to several other games, thinking that there would always be one game that could beat Jiang Xia.
"Now that things have come to this, I can only adjust my plan." Judy thought quickly in her mind, "Do I have to compete with Jiang Xia in solving cases? If I can solve the case faster than him, Jiang Xia will definitely remember me forever, but..."
Judy recalled the information she had looked up, weighed the difficulty of the matter, and fell into deep thought for a moment.
After a moment, she took out her cell phone and began to search silently for other competitions that young people might like.
…
After a flurry of activity, Inspector Megure wiped his sweat and understood the general situation.
"He suddenly died at the end of the game?" He glanced at the burly corpse on the chair and muttered, "He doesn't look like a short-lived otaku who lacks exercise."
Suzuki Sonoko never expected that she would end up in a murder while playing a game. She pointed to the big screen and emphasized, "It's true. We all saw it! The dead man's duel was projected on this screen. When he was only one punch away from finishing off his opponent, the dead man's character suddenly stopped moving. Later we found that he had died. He must have died suddenly while playing the game."
Officer Takagi happened to come over to look for Jiang Xia, and seeing Inspector Megure was also there, he moved over there and stood between the two of them as if nothing had happened, reading out the information he had found:
"The deceased, Kengo Oto, was 21 years old and currently unemployed. According to our investigation, he had some... rather bad behavior outside. He also had a bad reputation in this game hall and had offended many people."
Inspector Megure was overwhelmed when he looked at the number of people trapped in the game hall: the many people he had offended meant that there were many people with motives to kill, and screening the suspects turned out to be a huge project.
As he thought about it, he touched his broad chin, always feeling that something was wrong.
After a moment, Inspector Megure suddenly realized: Why is there another golden-haired foreigner hanging around Jiang Xia? This time it's a woman.
He asked cautiously: "Who is this..."
Jiang Xia introduced: "It seems to be our class's English teacher."
Inspector Megure: "..." As if? How long has it been since you went to class? You can't even remember your own teacher!
However, when he thought about what Jiang Xia was doing when she skipped classes, Inspector Megure swallowed his words as if nothing had happened: There's nothing I can do, Jiang Xia is usually too busy, it's understandable that she occasionally stays less in school, and wise adults should consciously ignore these little things.
So he just looked at Judy and confirmed: "Are you the English teacher at Teitan Middle School?"
"Yeah!" Judy said in her half-baked Japanese, very familiar and enthusiastic, "My name is Judy, thank you for your guidance."
As she spoke, Judy quickly looked at Inspector Megure's expression. Seeing the police officer frowning and looking at her seriously, she silently became alert, trying to recall whether she had revealed any flaws.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Inspector Megure showed a textbook smile: "My name is Mekure, A Japanese policeman! Nice to meet you, how are you?"
Judy: “…” So annoying, another one coming here to practice speaking.
She kept smiling and had to correct him patiently.
Officer Gao Mu noticed the awkwardness in the air and quickly ran out to smooth things over: "Well, I still have a little report to read..."
Inspector Megure came to his senses and quickly put away his reflexive reaction to meeting an English teacher. He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Go ahead."
Officer Takagi: "According to the arcade and some regular customers, there were no signs of suspicious people lingering around before and after the incident. Guests near the deceased also testified that he did not eat anything during the game."
Inspector Megure understood: "That means the possibility of homicide is very low. Could this be a suicide?"
Officer Takagi: "..." In theory, that's true, but look at Jiang Xia next to him...
Inspector Megure didn't see his eyes, but moved closer to look at the dead man. The more he looked at the middle-aged inspector, the more strange he felt: "What kind of look is this? A helmet and armor, and his hands and feet are bound, just like in a sci-fi movie."
The curly-haired staff member in the arcade heard this and quickly explained, "This is a virtual combat game machine. These things on it are sensors. The player's actions can be fed back to the game character through them. When the character is attacked, the player's body will also feel the corresponding attack. This is how you can have an immersive gaming experience."
"Players will also be attacked accordingly?" Inspector Megure quickly extracted the key words and suddenly realized, "In other words, the deceased was killed by this machine?"
Curly-haired staff: “???”
...Stop spewing blood, you old fogy guy!
