Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 1: A murder case on the first day of high school
Tokyo, Miwa Town.

Early April is the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and you can see pink petals flying on the streets from time to time.

In this dreamlike cherry blossom rain, three young boys and girls were running frantically and blaming each other desperately.

"Xuichi, today is the first day of school, and you're making me late!"

"Eri, how can you blame me for this! It's obviously Kogoro's fault. He actually forgot to set the alarm!"

"Hey, I didn't forget to set the alarm on purpose. Besides, didn't you set it yourself?"

……

The three noisy people were all wearing the uniforms of Teitan High School.

The girl was pretty, wearing big glasses and her brown hair was tied into a high ponytail.

There were two boys, one had a slicked-back hair, a small tuft of hair hanging in front of his forehead, prominent cheekbones, and a wide jaw, which didn't look very good.

The other one had short hair, distinct features and bright eyes, but his expression was a little lazy and he looked quite exhausted.

These three are freshmen at Teitan High School. The girl with glasses is named Kisaki Eri, the unreliable one is Mouri Kogoro, and the lazy one is Hayashi Shuichi.

Time flies so fast, I'm almost in high school...

While running, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but glance at the two friends beside him.

It would have been fine if he had traveled to the Conan world, but who would have thought that he didn't travel to the main timeline, but came to more than 30 years ago!

If he hadn't met Kisaki Eri and Mouri Kogoro in kindergarten ten years ago, Hayashi Shuichi would have thought he had just traveled to Tokyo.

After the three of them met in kindergarten, thanks to Lin Xiuyi's deliberate efforts, they quickly became good friends. Later, they spent their elementary and middle school years in the same class.

Now, they are about to start their high school life together.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have waited for you two!" Fei Yingli complained breathlessly, "This is terrible. I left a bad impression on the teacher on the first day..."

"You and Shuichi have such good grades, the teacher won't be angry even if you're late once," Maori Kogoro said with a bitter face, "I'm the most unlucky one. Maybe I'll be regarded as a bad student by the teacher for the next three years of high school!"

"Okay, stop complaining!" Lin Xiuyi said with a smile, "Come with me, I know a shortcut, maybe we won't be late."

"There is a shortcut? How come I don't know it?" Kogoro Mouri was skeptical.

"Idiot, if Shuichi says there is one, then there is one!" Kiyori urged angrily, "Could he possibly lie to us? Let's go!"

Led by Lin Xiuyi, the three changed direction, passed the Mihua Swimming Pool, and turned into a dark alley next to it.

"Don't normally go down this road," Lin Xiuyi warned. "There's a pinball parlor across the street. Some hooligans like to rob people here when they lose."

"Xueyi, how do you know so clearly..."

Before Kisaki Eri could finish her words, she heard a "ouch" sound. For some reason, Kogoro Mouri, who was running on the side, suddenly fell to the ground.

"Kogoro, are you okay?" Lin Xiuyi and the other man stopped.

"I'm so unlucky today," Maori Kogoro complained as he got up from the ground. "Something just tripped me. Why is the ground so slippery... W-What is this?"

Hearing his voice, they suddenly became terrified. Lin Xiuyi and the other person walked back in confusion. After seeing clearly what was next to Maori Kogoro's leg, Kisaki Eri immediately screamed!
"...That's great! It looks like we'll not only be late for our first day of high school, but we might even have to skip classes," Lin Xiuyi sighed helplessly as he looked at the man's body and the bloodstains on the ground. "You two wait here. Don't leave. I'm going to find a pay phone to call the police."

"I, I want to go too!" Kisaki Eri hurriedly grabbed Lin Xiuyi's arm.

"And I……"

Maori Kogoro was interrupted by Lin Xiuyi with a smirk as he started to speak.

"Don't you want to be a detective in the Metropolitan Police Department in the future? This is a good opportunity for you to interact with corpses more often and build up your courage."

"This……"

Maori Kogoro was terrified when he saw his hands stained with blood, but thinking of his dream, he had no choice but to agree. Lin Xiuyi and Kisaki Eri went to call the police, and Maori Kogoro stood alone in the dim alley with a bleeding corpse at his feet.

"It's just a corpse, there's nothing to be afraid of..."

Maori encouraged himself, then lowered his head and looked, only to meet the corpse's eyes that were still open in death!

This shock almost made Mao Li collapse on the ground. He quickly turned around and stopped looking at the corpse, muttering to himself,

"Shuichi, Eri, come back soon..."

……

Half an hour later, Hayashi Shuichi and Kisaki Eri returned to the alley with the police.

"Are you OK?"

Lin Xiuyi was also shocked when he saw Mao Li's pale face and sweat on his forehead.

Was Kogoro Mori so timid when he was young?

"It's okay," Mao Li said with a wooden face, walking stiffly towards the alley, "I, I'll go outside to get some fresh air..."

"Please don't go too far, we have something to ask you later," the square-faced young police officer reminded.

"Begin the on-site investigation!"

The police officer with his eyebrows forked and raised began to give orders in an orderly manner.
"Matsumoto, you and the forensic department will examine the body together!"

"Yes!"

"Morimura, take some people to the area and ask if anyone else has seen the body besides these three children!"

"Yes!"

"Megure, you are responsible for taking the reporter's statement."

"Yes, Inspector Samezaki!" The square-faced police officer responded hurriedly.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a murder case,"

Samezaki Shimaji, the current inspector of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, patted the square-faced officer's shoulder.

"Such cases occur in Tokyo almost every few days."

"But you're really unlucky, kid. On your first day at work, you actually encountered a murder case. Tsk tsk..."

The young, square-faced police officer gave a dry laugh and hurriedly came to Lin Xiuyi and Kisaki Eri with his notebook.

Looking at the boy who was calm and even observing him, and then looking at the girl next to him who had a nervous look on her face and was trying hard not to look at the corpse, the young square-faced police officer immediately decided to start questioning the boy.

"Name?"

"Hayashi Hideichi, Mr. Officer, your last name is Megure?"

"Well, what about age?"

"Sixteen years old. By the way, Mr. Officer, what is your full name?"

"Megure Jusan!" the square-faced officer said emphatically, "Now I'm the one asking the questions... uh, where was I just now?"

"My age, officer," Lin Xiuyi reminded with a smile, "Next, you should ask for my address, and then the time when we found the body."

"Yes, you live in..." Megure was halfway through his sentence when he realized something was wrong, "Please... please don't interrupt me anymore!"
