Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 13: Maori Kogoro's Intuition
Kogoro Mouri's intuition is sometimes irrelevant, and sometimes terrifyingly strong.

The next afternoon, the school bell rang.

Kogoro Mouri immediately grabbed his schoolbag and ran towards the gymnasium. The activity room of the judo club he joined was in the gymnasium.

Lin Xiuyi did not go home immediately, but went to the library with Kisaki Eri.

He had already finished most of today's homework during the break and planned to finish the rest in the library before going back.

The two of them had just found a seat in the library, and before they could even sit down, they saw Maori Kogoro panicking and pushing open the door of the library, then yelling at the top of his lungs, "Shuichi, Xiuchi!"

"Student, please keep quiet!" the library teacher frowned and reminded.

Maori Kogoro ignored the teacher and scanned the crowd. After finding Lin Xiuyi and Kisaki Eri, he shouted at the top of his voice again.

"Shuichi, something happened! A senior from our judo club hanged himself in the gym!"

"what?"

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Maori Kogoro's words immediately made the library, which had been quiet just a moment ago, become noisy.

"No way, someone died in school?"

"Let's go over and have a look!"

"Judo Club? I wonder who died?"

……

This explosive news immediately made the students lose their mood to study. They packed up their things and went to the gymnasium to watch the fun.

The teacher at the library grabbed Maori Kogoro,
"What happened? Did someone really die?"

"Of course it's true," Maori Kogoro nodded affirmatively, "The one who was in the accident was third-year student Hayato Doi. Doctor Kobayashi from the health room has examined him and confirmed that he is dead."

When the librarian heard this and saw that Kogoro Mouri was not lying, he also hurried to the gymnasium.

Lin Xiuyi and the other two followed closely behind. When they arrived at the gymnasium, it was already surrounded by students in three layers.

Apparently, the news that someone had hanged himself in the gymnasium had spread throughout the school, and the students who had not yet returned home all ran to watch the excitement.

The reason why Kogoro Mori was so anxious to find Hayashi Shuichi was naturally because he hoped that this good friend could investigate the truth of the matter.

However, they were stopped by the Dean of Academic Affairs as soon as they reached the gymnasium entrance.

"The gymnasium has been sealed off!" the Dean of Academic Affairs said sternly, bamboo sword in hand. "No one is allowed to enter."

"Teacher, Shuichi is very capable. He helped the detectives of the Investigation Division solve two cases yesterday," Maori Kogoro explained, "so let him in..."

Before he could finish his words, the Dean of Academic Affairs interrupted him impatiently: "We've already called the police! They'll investigate what's going on."

"Go home quickly and stop hanging around in school!"

"But..." Kogoro Mouri still wanted to fight for it.

"I told you to go home immediately!" The Dean of Academic Affairs waved his bamboo sword impatiently. "This is not something you students should be involved in!"

Someone suddenly died in the school, and the deceased was a senior in the same club as Mouri Kogoro, so naturally Hayashi Shuichi would not ignore it.

He pulled Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki out of the front door, preparing to find the back door or the window to enter the gymnasium, but he didn't expect that the teachers of Teitan were already prepared. The back door of the gymnasium was guarded and all the windows were closed from the inside.

Unable to enter the gymnasium, Lin Xiuyi first asked Maori Kogoro about the situation.

"Just now after school, I grabbed my bag and ran to the gymnasium, where I saw the headmaster holding a key, about to open the door to the activity room," Maori Kogoro recalled. "Once the door was open, the headmaster and I saw Doi-senpai hanging in the air, so we rushed forward and rescued him."

"The director gave Doi-senpai CPR and asked me to go to the health room to find Dr. Kobayashi."

"After I brought Dr. Kobayashi to the gym, she examined the situation and determined that Doi-senpai had been dead for some time."

"I remembered you said before that you wouldn't go home today and would go to the library to do your homework, so I ran to find you."

"Is it suicide?" asked Eri Kisaki curiously.

"I don't know," Maori Kogoro shook his head, "but I don't think Doi-senpai is someone who would suddenly commit suicide."

"Yesterday afternoon, when I went to sign up for the judo club, he was very enthusiastic in encouraging me. Shuichi, what do you think?"

"Let's wait for the police to arrive," Lin Xiuyi said helplessly, "We can't enter the crime scene, and we don't know the specific condition of the body, so we can't make any judgment at all."

Although the academic dean and other teachers repeatedly and loudly asked the students gathered around the gymnasium to go home.

But someone died and such a big thing happened in the school, how could the students be willing to leave?

Twenty minutes later, with sirens blaring, two police cars drove into the campus and stopped at the entrance of the gymnasium.

The people who got out of the car were Inspector Samezaki and Officer Megure, whom Hayashi Shuichi and the others had just met yesterday.

Seeing that they were about to enter the gymnasium, Lin Xiuyi and the other two hurried over.

"It's you?" Inspector Samezaki smiled, "I forgot you are students here."

"Inspector Samezaki, I also want to go in and take a look," Lin Xiu kept saying.

Inspector Samezaki asked with a half-smile, "Didn't you say last night that you didn't want to be a detective in the future?"

"Just because I don't want to be a criminal police officer doesn't mean I'm not interested in cases," Lin Xiuyi replied. "If I can't become a civil servant in the future, maybe I can become a detective."

"...Detective," Inspector Samezaki frowned in disgust.

In the Conan world, detective is a very influential profession.

However, because some of the work of detectives overlaps with that of the police, as the saying goes, colleagues are enemies, many police officers do not like detectives, and Inspector Samezaki is obviously one of them.

After pondering for a moment, Inspector Samezaki nodded, considering that Hayashi Shuichi was still a high school student and there was still plenty of time to correct and influence him so that he would not go down the "wrong path" of being a detective.
"Okay, you three can come in, but you must obey the police officers' instructions. You are not allowed to move around or touch anything inside."

"Yes!" Lin Xiuyi and the other two agreed in unison.

Seeing this, the Dean of Academic Affairs next to him hurried forward and said, "Officer, these three are students in our school. They are all minors. I don't think they can enter!"

"According to Japanese law, the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division can request the cooperation of those involved in the case," Inspector Samezaki said expressionlessly, "These three children are related to the case. Of course, I can take them in."

"But……"

The Dean of Academic Affairs wanted to stop him, but Officer Megure stepped in front of him and pointed to the cordon drawn by the police outside the gymnasium.
"Excuse me, teacher. We, the Investigation Division, are now in charge of the scene here. Please step back outside the cordon."
