Chapter 35 Who put him on suspicion?

For the first time, the player experienced the feeling of being led by an NPC in a mission in the world of science.

He just felt a little sleepy from doing too many repetitive tasks, so he logged off and took a nap.

By the way, I made a bet with my friend on how many days it would take to complete the game if I had already fully explored the map and almost maxed out the characters, with the only thing left to do being to complete the main quest. The bet was that whoever lost would have to finish a game designated by the other person.

It's easy to imagine that this must be a super bad game that can only be found by searching the entire Star Network.

When I went online again, the only task on the task list actually had a bunch of clues?!

Players are already skilled at this kind of task.

No, a detective!

Maybe it's due to the feature of the animated version linked to the detective anime, there are quite a few such crime-solving missions.

Unfortunately, the relationships between the victims, murderers, and suspects are often complicated and bizarre, and their names are difficult to recognize, which makes the gaming experience extremely bad for players who don't remember the NPCs.

If it weren’t for the fool-proof case-solving process that was obviously inspired by the original Maple Stage, players would have gotten stuck long ago.

Usually, after receiving the commission and going through the prelude and discovering the body, you go to the crime scene, the deceased's home, and other places related to the case to click on the flashing locations to obtain various key clues.

Then, connect these clues on the game interface. If the clues are correctly connected, new ideas will pop up.

Once all these ideas have come out, the truth will be almost revealed, and we can use these clues to point out the murderer.

The player is using a very old and classic method - the elimination method!

It means that each guess and corresponding clue is passed to each suspect. If it is wrong, it will be refuted until the correct one is found.

At this time, the murderer will perform a fixed action of kneeling down to confess and being arrested.

However, this is the first time that the player has obtained a lot of clues through the clues shared by teammates in the mission records before starting the mission.

He was so familiar with Amuro Toru's house that he felt like he was at home, and he took out poultry to feed Haro.

After petting the cute furry puppy, the player clicked into the task tracking. Because he had obtained many clues, he automatically entered the clue-related thinking part.

The player just knew that someone had died, but had no idea what happened. Since there was only this one mission left, he took a closer look.

Then I was confused.

What is the cause of death of Yuichiro Kyuki?

The inconsistent drag marks indicate that the murderer may have an accomplice.

A description of the sunken stone and the broken part of the rope that was salvaged.

What kind of email exchanges might contain a suspect with murderous motives?

There are about ten clues at a rough count, and there are a bunch of words under each picture. The purpose is to make players who try hard to jump out of the plot or cut off the background to do other things suffer the consequences of not playing the game seriously. It's so dizzying to read.

All in all, after reading it, he confirmed one thing - yes, a person named Ichiro died.

Because he knew nothing, the clues were not connected smoothly. After trying several, he got the answer "there is no connection". The player angrily exited the task interface and broke into Catherine's room.

Toru Amuro's daily routine has been disrupted time and time again.

The four hours of deep sleep from 2am to 6am turned into forced early bedtime and early rise from 11:30pm to 4am.

From sleeping naked to having to sleep with clothes on.

He hadn't expected that just when he began to adjust to the new schedule, Jyouno Hisaji would do something unconventional and take a rare trip to the front door when he had just fallen asleep, knock down the door of his room, and rush over to him with murderous eyes and grab his hand.

And in this weird atmosphere, he said loudly: "Help me, Catherine Amuro Touba... huh?"

Amuro Toru quickly covered the half-spoken code name. By the way, his arm was still a little sore because he helped Jyouno Hisaji pack so many dishes.

However, the culprit probably still thinks that his help is his due.

Every time this happened, Toru Amuro especially wanted to drag Rum in front of Hisashi Jyouno, and then transfer the position of "Catherine" to Rum, so that this guy who could talk without any hesitation but threw hot potatoes everywhere could see what hell-level torture was.

After all, he was trained by experience. After a moment of anger, Amuro Toru calmed down very skillfully and ignored the door that had been destroyed. "What are you going to do now?"

The player pulled down his hand that was covering his mouth and sat down on the floor beside the bed. "We just took on a case, about that Ichiro, can you tell me what's going on?"

He also stressed: "Be concise. Include the summary, but also the key details."

Toru Amuro knew that Yuichiro Kyuki was not killed by Hisashi Jyouno.

This guy has been running around Japan recently. The members of the organization who were scared by him in Tokyo and were running around Japan ran into him and were killed. It is said that even the people who cooperated with the organization were killed by chance, but the organization only dealt with the aftermath and not him.

As a result, members of the organization have been in a state of panic recently, and the number of defectors has been increasing linearly and is still rising. Even the public security department, which has made a lot of money, has been approached by some members who want to surrender.

The chain reaction caused by the collapse of the internal order of this organization was so intense that Gin, whose hair had turned several shades white, could no longer suppress it.

In these blood-stained and horrific records, Hisashi Jyouno's methods were always the same: all the murders were by shooting, and the bodies were never disposed of.

So, is Hisashi Jyouno solving cases as a detective now?

Toru Amuro gave him a brief account of the crime process pieced together from the clues found in this case, as well as the current suspects of the police.

Basically, Kyuki Yuichiro was knocked unconscious, then tied up and dragged deep into the alley.

He was then put into a suitcase by another person and taken to the river, where he was hit on the back of the head to death. His body was tied to stones and sunk in the river. Ten days later, his body was found when the rope broke and floated to the river.

After excluding the friends of Hisashi Jyouno and Yuichiro Kyuki, the police's current suspects are Yuichiro Kyuki's four relatives and an unknown person.

After Conan's reminder, the police also discovered that Kyuki Yuichiro might have conducted illegal transactions to turn himself around. However, since no clues were found in this regard, they remained skeptical for the time being and only listed an unknown person who might have conducted the transaction.

As for the four relatives, whether it is the parents or the uncle and cousin, their alibis are testimonies against each other and cannot be considered valid, and they all have disputes with Kyuki Yuichiro.

In particular, the crime process seemed to indicate that the murderer did not act alone, but had an accomplice.

He completely forgot that he was the "accomplice" who knocked the man unconscious and dragged him in. After listening to Catherine's summary, the players probably understood.

He went back to reconnect the clues and came up with several new ideas, but none of them directly pointed out the murderer.

Just like the connection between the murder weapon and the drag marks leads to the idea that "the murderer seems to be quite strong", and a further association is "the emotion of this killing method is very clean, and it doesn't seem like a revenge killing."

Of course, this may have revealed enough, but for players, not giving a name directly is not pointing out the murderer.

After connecting the clues, some clues that have not been investigated will show three question marks. Players should first try to pass these clues to the suspects.

Then he saw a familiar black-haired man in the list of suspects that seriously exceeded three, right next to a bald-headed Xiao Hei with a dark silhouette.

The black-haired young man also has a pair of golden eyes, which are very handsome in his ID photo.

Player: “…”

Who put him in the suspect group?
