Chapter 3418 3430 [Akai Shuichi's Gun]
"Kamen Rider" pointed to the bleeding body lying on the ground and said: "Mishima was so focused on playing Kamen Rider that he was a little obsessed. Whenever there was a conflict of opinion, he would quarrel with us very angrily.
"In order to better fit the role, he spent a full six months transforming his ordinary motorcycle into a Kamen Rider motorcycle... After all this hard work, he was suddenly belittled. Given his personality, it's not surprising that he would do anything."
Maori Kogoro scratched his head: "If that's the case...it seems quite reasonable."
"Mr. Jiang Xia!" At this moment, the forensic officer trotted over with an evidence bag containing a pitch-black pistol. "This is the murder weapon the deceased used in his suicide. It's likely a Jericho 941. Speaking of which, this type of gun is very rare in China. I don't know where he got it from."
Inspector Megure, who was standing nearby and listened carefully, felt a headache: the trouble with shooting cases is that they often lead to a gun smuggling network. It seems that although this case is a suicide, the workload he is about to face is not small at all.
but……
"Jericho 941?" Inspector Megure scratched his hat, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu. "Sounds familiar. Have I come across this same smuggled gun before?"
The forensic officers didn't need to worry about all that; they just had to focus on reporting their findings. He took another evidence bag, which contained a deformed metal ball.
"This is a bullet that hit a bulletproof vest. It looks like it was manually modified from a spent shell casing. The specific situation requires further inspection, and the results will be available in 24 hours."
"Okay." Inspector Megure nodded tiredly. Then he looked at several of the deceased's acquaintances: "To think he could make his own bullets... Was this deceased Mr. Mishima very knowledgeable about guns?"
"That..." The enthusiastic "Kamen Rider" sighed and shook his head honestly. "To be honest, not at all. A while ago, when we were all watching TV together during team building, he asked me the difference between an automatic pistol and a revolver."
"Uh..." Inspector Megure's guess was wrong, so he had to guess again, "Then he must be very good at doing it."
"Not really." Saotome Souka also shook her head. "His fingers aren't very flexible, so every time he makes a costume, the props are always crooked. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent a full six months modifying a motorcycle."
Conan paced back and forth, observing the scene at 8x speed before Jiang Xia could speak. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked a few elementary school students: "In Kamen Rider, which characters carry pistols?"
Kojima Genta was shocked and whispered, "You don't even know this? Have you even seen Kamen Rider?"
The fake fan, who looked out of place among the three elementary school students, cleared his throat and said seriously, "Brother Jiang Xia asked me to ask."
Junior Detective Team: “…”
Damn little dog legs!
Then Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko, while looking at him with disdain, dared not hesitate any longer and quickly replied: "Of course he is a member of the assault police team."
Conan asked in confusion: "Doesn't Kamen Rider carry a gun?"
"You!" The three Kamen Rider fans were furious, but after glancing at Jiang Xia in the distance, they silently lowered their rolled-up sleeves. "Of course we don't use guns. Kamen Riders fight with their fists, every punch hitting the flesh!"
Conan seemed to understand something, but there was still something missing.
Nearby, three elementary school students had no idea what he was thinking. Faced with this sudden incident, the three had their own reflections: "It should have been a fun evening for a Kamen Riders gathering and dinner... I never expected something like this to happen."
"Yeah." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also sighed, "shooting himself and then swallowing the gun... It's like moving the stage of a TV drama into real life."
"Stage?" Conan was instinctively attracted by the word at first, and then he suddenly understood, "I see!"
The three children were stunned: "..." What do you know?
Conan didn't have time to explain. He looked at Kojima Genta and asked, "Do you have your detective badge with you?"
"Yes." Kojima Genta took the badge out of his pocket and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
Conan took the badge, took out a handkerchief and wiped it vigorously, then handed the badge back to Kojima Genta: "Take it."
Kojima Genta reached out his hand, confused, and took the badge.
"Very good!" Conan spread his handkerchief towards him. "Now put the badge here."
Kojima Genta seemed to understand. He put the badge over and asked happily, "Are you going to perform magic for us?"
Yoshida Ayumi suddenly realized: "It's that magic trick where you blow on a piece of cloth and make the badge disappear! I've seen it on TV."
The three elementary school students looked at Conan expectantly, and then saw Conan holding the badge, turned around and ran away.
Three children: “……?”
It was true that the badge disappeared suddenly, but...but this is not right!!
…
The search at the scene was gradually completed. Although a gun was involved, this appeared to be a suicide, so the police were not under much pressure. This atmosphere quickly affected the other people at the scene.
The enthusiastic "Kamen Rider" looked around and asked Inspector Megure: "Since there is nothing wrong, let Honda go to the hospital."
"Oh, okay!" Inspector Megure then remembered the forgotten victim. He cleared his throat guiltily and said kindly:
"Even though you're wearing a bulletproof vest, it's still very easy to injure your ribs if you get shot. You should get yourself checked out. I'll find a police car to take you there!"
Jiang Xia came over and added, "After going to the hospital, we'll stop by the police station."
Inspector Megure: "Yes, yes, yes! Remember to come and take a statement."
Nearby, Sato Miwako, who was passing by, vaguely sensed something was wrong. She stopped and whispered to Inspector Megure, "Does Jiang Xia's words... mean something else?"
"Hmm?" Inspector Megure looked at Jiang Xia belatedly.
Jiang Xia nodded slightly in this direction as if he had guessed what they were talking about.
"?!" Inspector Megure was shocked and blurted out, "Could there be another hidden story behind this suicide case?"
Jiang Xia shook his head and corrected him, "It should be said that there is another hidden story in this murder case."
The police officers who were about to get off work: “?!”
Jiang Xia glanced at the "assault policeman" next to him whose face changed drastically: "Today's shooting and 'suicide' were actually just a show specially arranged by Mr. Honda.
"The deceased who 'committed suicide' was merely cooperating with Mr. Honda in staging a 'shooting and then committing suicide' scenario. Before he did it, even he himself had no idea that this scenario would actually come true."
