Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 80 The one who died was...

Although the old man in front of him seemed very kind, Lin Xiuyi would not treat him as an ordinary old man.

After all, anyone who can become a gang boss has fought his way through bloody battles.

As for the Nicankai mentioned by Ito Ichiro, Lin Xiuyi also had an impression of it.

In the Conan anime, the Nican Society is a gang that has some connections with the Black Organization.

However, compared to the ruthless actions of the Black Organization, the performance of the Mud Society is obviously much more incompetent.

In Conan's plot, they often play the role of being bullied or taking the blame, which is in sharp contrast to the Black Organization.

Some people have mocked it like this: The Black Organization and the Mud Society, one is the main course at a banquet, the other is an appetizer; one is responsible for causing trouble, the other is responsible for taking the blame; one brings fear, the other brings laughter.

Even the name of the gang, Ni Can Hui, was spoofed and changed to Ni Ma Zhen Can Hui.

But in the world where Lin Xiuyi was reborn, the Ni Canhui was not so funny.

As an emerging gang organization, the Nimrod is obviously much more active in violent incidents than the three old gangs that have gone through bloody expansion and entered a period of stable development.

Nearly half of the gang violence cases reported by the news media in the past two years were related to the NDM.

Ito Ichiro therefore insisted that it was the Nican Society that framed him in order to expand its power.

"Those guys must be trying to use the police's power to eliminate the Sumiyoshi-kai's influence in Beihua, so they can take advantage of the situation and move in."

Lin Xiuyi ignored him and suggested, "Let's go to the scene first."

"Follow me," Officer Matsumoto led the way, followed by Hayashi Shuichi, Inspector Samezaki and Officer Megure.

"This guy doesn't look very old, but he can actually get the police officers from the Investigation Section to obey his orders." Ito Ichiro looked at the backs of the four people, his face full of confusion. "Where have I seen him before?"

……

Coming out of the dance hall, there is a long corridor in front of you, with the nightclub's luxurious private rooms on both sides of the corridor.

Turn left at the end of the corridor and you will find the men's and women's restrooms, and turn right and you will find the manager's office and staff lounge.

A police officer was stationed at the bathroom door.

Officer Matsumoto pushed open the bathroom door and Lin Xiuyi followed him in.

As soon as he entered the room, Lin Xiuyi saw a body lying on its back on the bathroom floor, with a large pool of dark red blood underneath. "He's the one who died?"

"What? Mr. Lin knows this person?" Officer Matsumoto asked in surprise.

"Yes, this guy went to the izakaya on Saturday," Lin Xiu nodded. "I remember his name should be Takashima Daiki, a scout from the Kuki Agency."

"Kuki Agency, isn't that a place that specializes in producing pornographic films..." Inspector Megure was halfway through his words when he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and he quickly stopped with a blushing face.

"He was in the izakaya, harassing Fujimine-san," Lin Xiuyi frowned, remembering what Inspector Megure had said before, and looked carefully at the coat worn by the corpse.

Sure enough, at the very bottom, I found that there was a button missing.

"We've checked. The button in Miss Nishikawa's hand is exactly the same as the remaining buttons on this man's body," Officer Matsumoto confirmed. "Even if Takashima Daiki isn't the murderer of Miss Nishikawa, he's definitely connected to her."

Lin Xiuyi asked Inspector Megure for gloves and went forward to check the body.

Daiki Takashima had two knife wounds on his body, one on the right side of his neck, injuring the aorta, and the other on his abdomen, injuring his internal organs.

Judging from the direction and angle of the wound, Daiki Takashima was attacked from the front and stabbed twice in the vitals, causing him to die from excessive bleeding.

After confirming this, Lin Xiuyi stood up and said, "Officer Matsumoto is right. There is something wrong with this crime scene. This shouldn't be the scene where the crime occurred."

"Why?" Inspector Megure asked blankly.

Officer Matsumoto also looked at Hayashi Shuichi. He always felt that something was wrong at the scene, but he couldn't tell where the problem lay.

"It's probably because of the blood," Inspector Samezaki said. "One of the wounds on the victim's body was on the main artery in his neck. Stabbing there should have caused a large amount of blood to spurt out, but the blood on the floor just flowed out steadily."

"That's right," Lin Xiu nodded. "In addition to the bloodstains on the floor, there are also obvious bloodstains on the sole of the deceased's right shoe."

"But look at the floor beneath the deceased's feet. It's clean, without even a trace of blood."

"There are also many problems with the bloodstains on his clothes. For example, there's a blood stain on his left armpit, where the blood shouldn't have flowed."

"That's true," Inspector Megure exclaimed, "I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me."

"Could the blood stains under the armpits have been rubbed there by the murderer when he was moving the body?" Inspector Samezaki was an experienced detective, and he reacted as soon as Lin Xiu reminded him one by one.

"That's right," Lin Xiuyi confirmed, "The murderer must have killed Takashima Daiki somewhere else and then transferred him here."

"During this process, the murderer curled up the deceased to disguise it, but the wounds on the body continued to bleed, and eventually bloodstains appeared in many places where they should not be." "Could it be that Ichiro Ito rubbed them there?" asked Officer Matsumoto.

"Impossible," Lin Xiuyi shook his head. "There are a lot of blood stains in unusual locations on the body, from head to toe."

"Unless Ito Ichiro is a pervert who likes to rub corpses all over, otherwise, he would never do this."

"Megure, take your men to search the nearby rooms one by one," Inspector Samezaki ordered, "We must find the crime scene."

"Yes!" Inspector Megure took the order and left.

"By the way, where is the murder weapon?" Lin Xiuyi asked.

"It's in the Forensic Investigations Division," Officer Matsumoto went out and asked Officer Tomi for the evidence bag containing the murder weapon. "It's this fruit knife. The Forensic Investigations Division found two fingerprints on it, both belonging to Ito Ichiro."

"Didn't Ito Ichiro say he was knocked unconscious?" Lin Xiuyi shook his head. "The murderer probably knocked him unconscious and then put a clean-handled fruit knife into his hand, which got his fingerprints on it."

The murder weapon was just an ordinary fruit knife. Lin Xiuyi checked it carefully and found nothing unusual.

Inspector Megure is still leading his men to check each box one by one, looking for the primary crime scene. It seems that it will not be completed in a short time.

Lin Xiuyi decided to go and see the injury on Ito Ichiro's head first.

He, Inspector Samezaki, and Officer Matsumoto walked back to the dance hall and saw the gangster boss standing on the stage again and starting to sing loudly.

"This guy really loves to sing," Officer Matsumoto complained, "He's been singing non-stop since before you guys showed up."

"He should be singing Yamaguchi Momoe's song, right?" Inspector Samezaki asked uncertainly.

"This is the theme song from the TV series Red's Doubt. Thank you very much," Lin Xiuyi thought for a moment, "It's really a nice song."

"Inspector, Lin Jun, is it time to listen to music now?"

After Officer Matsumoto finished speaking angrily, he walked straight forward and snatched the microphone from Ito Ichiro.

Seeing this, the gang members below rolled up their sleeves and tried to climb onto the stage, but Ito Ichiro stopped them with a wave of his hand.

"Why, Officer Matsumoto, do you want to sing a song too?"

"Come out with us, we have something to tell you," Officer Matsumoto threw the microphone to the gang members below, and then led Ito Ichiro out of the dance hall.

"Judging from your looks, you must have discovered that the bathroom was not the primary crime scene, and that's when you finally confirmed that I'm not the murderer?" Ito Ichiro asked with a smile.

Judging from the expression on his face, he seemed to have already determined that the police would find out that he was not the real murderer.

"Have you also noticed the flaw in the other party's attempt to frame you?" Lin Xiuyi asked curiously.

"Haha, I've been in the underworld for over 30 years," Ito Ichiro laughed. "I've seen countless deaths. When I first woke up, I was a little confused, but when the nightclub manager came in, I was completely sober."

"How can you hit a vital spot without any blood splattering? Normally, if you stab someone in the neck, the blood will at least splatter several meters."

"Back then, I... ahem, it was one of my men who hacked someone to pieces. The blood was all over the house, even on the roof..."

"That's enough!" Officer Matsumoto interrupted with a sullen look on his face. "Since you've discovered the problem, why don't you tell us?"

"Investigating homicide cases is your job as police officers, not mine," Ito Ichiro sneered. "It's kind of fun to watch you police officers fooling around like that."

"You bastard!"

Officer Matsumoto's face turned ashen with anger, and Inspector Samezaki's expression wasn't much better.

"Watching the show is fake. Your real purpose is to use the power of the police to protect your life, right?" Lin Xiuyi suddenly said.

"Oh?" Ito Ichiro narrowed his eyes. "Little guy, tell me."

"Just like you said, after you discovered you were being framed, you immediately had two guesses in your mind. The ones who wanted to harm you were either the rival gang, the Ni Cang Hui, or your own men."

Lin Xiuyi analyzed in a deep voice,
"The former is after Mihua's territory, and the latter is trying to replace you. You can't be sure which side is responsible for the attack yet. If you leave the nightclub rashly, you will most likely be attacked by the other side."

"So you simply didn't point out the flaw in the bathroom, allowing the police to treat you as a suspect and restrict your freedom, while you called your men to block the door of the nightclub."

"With the police around, your assassin won't dare act rashly. With your men blocking the door, you can stay in the nightclub and wait and see what happens, figuring out who's framing you."

"Once you find the person who harmed you, all you have to do is tell the truth about what happened in the bathroom and then have someone report it to the reporters. You will be cleared of the charges and set free immediately."

"Tsk tsk, not bad, very well said!" Ito Ichiro clapped his hands in praise. "The little guy has a good brain, much better than these policemen."

"How about it, are you interested in joining our Sumiyoshi Association? There's no future in following these policemen. If you're willing to join the Sumiyoshi Association, I can..."
