Chapter 2416 2428 [Two Kudo Shinichi]
"I don't know how the cases were solved in the past." Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Under the gaze of a group of policemen, a high school student walked over and naturally joined their conversation: "But I know that in this case, the murderer was definitely not seeking money, and he was certainly not a burglar."
The high school student stopped in front of the elevator and pointed at the body lying inside. "From what I know, most thieves are principled and would not carry weapons like guns that are too lethal. Even if they did carry them and shot the victim in a panic, the panic of killing and the loud noise of the gunshot would only make them flee the scene immediately instead of staying to loot the body."
The young police officer next to the cordon was stunned for a moment and suddenly turned around to look: "..." Wait, when did this guy slip in?
Inspector Megure discovered that someone had entered the scene and was about to chase him away. However, when he saw the man's face, he was stunned: "Ku... Kudo brother?!"
The former brother who had been missing for so long actually came back, and ran into a case as soon as he appeared!
Inspector Megure couldn't help but feel the excitement of meeting an old friend: "Long time no see, where have you been recently?"
Kudo Shinichi walked closer to him and lowered his voice: "I've been busy investigating an important commission recently, and I finally found time to come back - I have to ask you for a favor, don't let your subordinates spread my existence."
"Okay, okay." Inspector Megure was quite loyal and agreed immediately.
Kudo Shinichi looked at the obedient police captain and nodded with a smile, as if he was particularly satisfied with the situation.
Beside him, Jiang Xia glanced at him, then looked outside the cordon thoughtfully.
At the back of the crowd, a weakling who had been trying hard to squeeze in but failed repeatedly just stayed where he was. He looked at "Kudo Shinichi" next to the policeman, then at "Conan" next to Jiang Xia, and briefly fell into a philosophical daze.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Nowadays, thieves are becoming more and more daring.
…
When the famous detective pondered the profound questions "Who am I? Where am I? Who are they? Who am I?"
Next to the elevator at the crime scene, "Kudo Shinichi" was apparently unable to stop enjoying the novel feeling of being worshipped by the police.
He pointed to the slightly messy clothes of the deceased and said, "Also, you see, the shirt cuff on the deceased's right hand is undone. His watch is on his left hand, and he doesn't have anything valuable on his right hand. A normal thief would not do such an unnecessary thing."
"Indeed." Inspector Megure scratched his head and began to wonder about the murderer's motive. "It's really strange. Why did the murderer unbutton his sleeves? Could it be that he came to steal clothes? But no matter how famous the clothes are, they can't be worn if they are splashed with blood. And the president's figure... Even if he stole the clothes, he wouldn't be able to find a buyer."
"..." "Kudo Shinichi" glanced at him faintly, "Who said the murderer wanted to steal? What I mean is that the cuffs should have been untied by the deceased himself for some reason."
Inspector Megure was even more confused: "You mean, the deceased was taking off his clothes in the elevator before he died?!" Doesn't this sound a little strange?
"dad!!"
Just then, a sad female voice was heard, interrupting their conversation which was gradually going off track.
Jiang Xia looked up and saw a young woman in a dress and slender high heels, escorted by several members, running towards them excitedly.
"Dad...Ah!" Tatsumi Sakurako rushed to the elevator and was frightened by the body inside. She had to close her eyes and turn her head away, "Why is this happening!"
Inspector Megure looked at the few people who suddenly rushed into the cordon and felt a headache: "…" Who was responsible for guarding the cordon? It was the same whether they guarded it or not!
But now that the victim's family was right in front of him, he couldn't completely ignore them and had to step forward to comfort them.
Seeing this, "Kudo Shinichi" took the opportunity to move next to Jiang Xia.
He was just about to pretend to be Kudo Shinichi and tease the detective, but before he could open his mouth, Jiang Xia said, "Let's talk business, or I'll call the police."
Kidd: “…”
It's so heartless and unreasonable! We are comrades who protect the secrets of monsters together, and you actually sold me out to the police?!
He snorted in his heart, not daring to speak out, and said honestly: "I saw a sniper on the roof just now. I don't know if he has left now. Ask the police to bring enough weapons to take a look. That guy might be very dangerous."
Jiang Xia: “…” He left a long time ago. That outlaw didn’t come alone. He had many FBI accomplices with him. As soon as the chaos started here, the FBI group retreated quickly.
But it's not a big deal, see you soon.
Of course, there is no need to elaborate on all the details to the Phantom Thief. Jiang Xia grabbed the pocket of his windbreaker, playing with the few fries and colorless murderous aura he had just grabbed, and turned to Inspector Megure and whispered a few words.
Inspector Megure's expression changed slightly. He immediately pointed at a few people and went upstairs carefully.
Kidd looked at their backs and sighed with emotion: "It's great to be a detective - next time when I need to deal with the police, how about I disguise myself as you? You know my reasoning ability, I promise not to embarrass you."
The detective nodded generously: "Okay. But when you go out with my identity, if you encounter some strange people communicating with you, remember to run fast after being exposed. I will not be responsible if something happens. To be on the safe side, you can write a suicide note in advance, which will be very convenient to deal with later."
Kidd: “…”
He thought of the black panther, spider, and mist tengu that occasionally appeared around Jiang Xia, as well as the monsters' ability to recognize people without being deceived by their appearance. He shuddered silently and was forced to give up this tempting identity for the Nth time.
…
Not long after, Inspector Megure came back from upstairs with his subordinates.
"There's no one on the rooftop." He said to Jiang Xia first, then turned to "Kudo Shinichi" - according to Jiang Xia, the news that there was an outlaw on the rooftop was provided by this detective brother No. 2, "Did you see it wrong?"
"Kudo Shinichi" frowned when he heard this, but finally could only nod helplessly: "Maybe." It seems that the sniper was very alert and ran away early... Or maybe that person had an accomplice, who discovered that a murder had occurred in the restaurant on the top floor and informed him in time, allowing him to escape?
Thinking of this, Kidd immediately paid more attention to his surroundings.
As he paid close attention, he suddenly discovered that outside the crowd, there was a face that was almost identical to his own.
Kidd: “?!”
