Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

"The deceased was at the scene just now. How could I know if the smell was coming from the deceased or the murderer? Now the smell has suddenly faded. Someone must have left!"

Bai Zhi was so angry, she just said something like he deserved his death and was deeply sinful, why was it judged as feudal superstition!

Even if what she just said is a bit superstitious, the rest of it is also scientific, okay? Don't attribute everything she said to superstition, okay?

"Ah, don't be angry." Officer Takagi was caught in the middle, and he tried to smooth things over, saying, "Inspector, why are you arguing with a child?"

"Inspector!" Suddenly a police officer ran over and said, "We found some special writing in the corner of the wall next to the cabinet."

Special handwriting?

Everyone was stunned for a moment and hurried to the cabinet. As expected, they saw a number written in red liquid in the corner of the cabinet, which was quite appropriate in this gloomy environment.

【1】

1? One? First? Report number? Or other information.

"At least we can confirm that the murderer is indeed a woman." Amuro Toru half-knelt on the ground with his chin in his hand. He stared at the wall, where a tiny mark was scraped off the grayish white wall.

"I've already told you, it must be a girl." Bai Zhi hid nearby, like a cat, hugging her knees, and was very dissatisfied with everyone's distrust of her just now: "If it's a man, at most he would leave a little fingernail."

"But it could also be scratched by jewelry or rings." Officer Takagi was still a little confused: "And, what if the other person is a man who likes to grow long nails?"

"Come on, you use the back of your hand to write with blood." Bai Zhi curled her lips: "Although the footprints at the door are female footprints stepping on male footprints, it is obvious that the man was walking in front. The person who can make the deceased walk in front with peace of mind must be someone he knows."

"It's three o'clock in the morning. Even if someone you know asks you to come to such a shabby place, a normal person would be wary. So I guess it's more likely that it's a relative."

"But the deceased's fingernails were neatly trimmed, his clothes were very clean, and he looked meticulous from head to toe. As the saying goes, family belongs to one family, and his relatives are probably not so different from him, not to be sloppy with long fingernails." Bai Zhi added.

If women want long nails, it's understandable, but why would men keep their nails so long for no reason? They can't be effeminate, right?

At most, I'll leave a little fingernail to dig out some weird things...

"By the way, Officer Takagi, have the deceased's belongings been sorted out?" Conan stood aside and looked up at Officer Takagi.

"Ah? Oh, they're all there, placed on the table over there." Officer Takagi subconsciously pointed in the direction without even hesitation, fully demonstrating what it means to be a good person but listen to advice.

There weren't many belongings left by the deceased, just an ordinary fountain pen that had run out of ink and a watch that looked quite valuable.

"Hey, Azhi, you said that the deceased was poisoned and there was a strange smell. Can you tell what it is?" Toru Amuro asked while standing aside.

Generally speaking, the most commonly used poison is potassium cyanide, but the way the deceased was poisoned this time was obviously not that, and there was no classic bitter almond smell.

"I'm a little familiar with it. I just feel that the main ingredient is a poisonous herb. I don't often use this kind of knowledge." Bai Zhi answered casually, while reaching out to pick up the pen through the sealed bag, turning the pen cap to reveal the ink sac inside.

There was some red ink residue on the ink sac, but it was slightly different from the color on the cabinet just now. Although the police surveillance had not yet come out, Bai Zhi was roughly certain that the words were probably not written in blood.

"It doesn't look like blood." Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows: "It was wiped, I'm afraid there won't be any fingerprints left."

"Yes." Bai Zhi nodded in agreement.

As for this watch.

"The deceased was from a wealthy family..." Bai Zhi frowned.

This watch is not cheap. Although Baizhi didn't recognize the brand, the workmanship is very fine and the material is also of high quality.

"Officer Megure, we've found the suspect!" Officer Takagi made a phone call, and everyone immediately became excited.

Four women came in.

It seems that although these policemen told Bai Zhi not to be feudal and superstitious, they still believed what he said and the suspects they found were all female.

One was Fujihashi Kumamoto’s wife, two were Fujihashi Kumamoto’s daughters, and one was Fujihashi Kumamoto’s illegitimate daughter. The four of them all looked impatient when they were called over, but when they heard that their husbands or fathers had suddenly passed away, they all showed shocked expressions on their faces.

Then, they started blaming each other.

Fujihashi Kumamoto's wife thought that her daughters wanted to get the family property in advance, so she killed her husband here in a rage.

Fujihashi Kumamoto's two biological daughters first accused the illegitimate daughter. They thought that the illegitimate daughter must have been resentful of her father and therefore killed him.

But as they talked, the two of them started arguing again, and began to blame each other, thinking that the other had killed their father just for the sake of the family property.

The illegitimate daughter quarreled with her two sisters at first, but later, seeing the sisters fighting among themselves, she simply shut up and watched impatiently from the side.

The common point is that these people all do manicures.

On the surface, these people's reactions seem to be within the normal range.

Bai Zhi held her chin in her hand and fell into deep thought.

Why is there another illegitimate child? Is this a characteristic that only belongs to the rich people in this area? The Ueda family has two illegitimate children, and the Fujihashi family, which is not as old as the Ueda family, has one illegitimate child... What does that mean? Is there a progressive relationship?

"Inspector, these people all have medical knowledge." Officer Takagi was annoyed by the quarrel between the women and could only come to Officer Megure first: "They can be considered as half a medical family, and I heard that they spend money like water..."

"And, as Miss Baizhi said, we have carefully checked the matter at that house, and no man has long fingernails."

"Is that so?" Inspector Megure looked at Bai Zhi in surprise.

I originally thought that this kind of weak little girl would be just a show-off, and at most an assistant to Toru Amuro, but now it seems that she is not simple.

"Let the three sisters stay, and that Teng... Tengxiong's wife can leave." Bai Zhi said lightly while standing aside.

"It's Fujihashi Kumamoto." Can you please respect the deceased? Officer Megure looked strange: "But, those daughters actually have alibis, Fujihashi Kumamoto's wife is..."

"It's impossible. Their heights are different." Bai Zhi said firmly, "The criminal's height is between 165cm and 170cm, and Fujimoto Kumamoto's wife is only 155cm tall."

"It's Fujihashi Kumamoto!" Officer Megure was speechless: "How did you determine their heights?"

Bai Zhi: “?”

You ask me?

Bai Zhi looked at Officer Memu strangely, with shock and confusion in her eyes, as if she was asking very seriously.

You're asking me this question? Are you serious?

Toru Amuro was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that he almost got internal injuries. Even though he tried his best to hold it back, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth into a nasty smile.

Baizhi is really cute when she is deflated and puffed up. God knows, Baizhi looks like a little hamster with her cheeks stuffed full with her eyes wide open and fierce. Not only does she not look fierce at all, but she looks even cuter.

It's better to have a cold face to be more intimidating.
