Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

Because he was involved in the Shinkansen escort mission for Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru, Miyano Osamu was buried in front of his computer writing a report.

"Bell~"

Suddenly his cell phone rang.

"Moshimoshi, Chiye? What's wrong with you? Take your time, there's no rush."

"&*#&*"

"Okay, I understand. Please be careful and we will be dispatched immediately."

Miyano Osamu hung up the phone and walked towards where Megure Jusan was. "Officer Megure, I received a report that they encountered the serial robber, and now he is taking revenge on the young witness who provided clues before."

"What?! He actually dared to retaliate privately. Miyano, you lead the team, set off immediately, we will set up an ambush at the place they said."

"Yes, sir!"

Let's go back a few hours to what happened.

——Teitan Elementary School——

"I'm going to start!"

The children finished talking and started eating. While eating, Kirihara Akaya complained in his heart: "Only I can perfectly fit in with the group of elementary school students. Otherwise, if it was the picky eater Niou-senpai, he would definitely be criticized by Mr. Kobayashi."

Ever since Kirihara Akaya transferred to this class, he has to compete with Kojima Genta for the first place in eating every day. The sophomore ace of Rikkai University cannot lose in any aspect!

Genta Kojima is also a foodie, and his eating ability is comparable to that of Akagi Kirihara.

"I'm done eating!"

Today, Kirihara Akaya was the first to finish his meal. What surprised everyone was that Kojima Genta didn't eat much.

Conan and a few others were guessing why Kojima Genta was acting so abnormally, but everything they thought of was refuted one by one.

As soon as school was over, Genta Kojima rushed out of the school gate, but was stopped by Akaya Kirihara.

"Yuanta, what's wrong with you lately?"

"Yeah, you're so abnormal!"

"Someone wants to kill me!" Kojima Genta's voice trembled.

"Haha, Yuantai, how is that possible? We are all elementary school students. Why would they want to kill you?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and others did not believe what Genta Kojima said.

“It’s true. A few days ago, I was walking in a culvert and felt someone following me from behind. When I stopped, he stopped. When I quickened my pace, he also quickened.

Another time I was nearly knocked off an overpass;

Yesterday I was almost hit by a motorcycle that ran a red light. This kind of accident happens so frequently. Someone must be trying to kill me!"

The few people who originally didn't believe it suddenly fell silent. If only one thing happened, they could still explain it as an accident, but three accidents happened in a row, which seemed very strange no matter how they looked at it.

"Boom!"

"what is this?"

Several members of the Junior Detective Team looked up and saw the billboard above their heads falling down.

At the critical moment, Kirihara Akaya took out his tennis racket and tennis ball and accurately hit the falling billboard away.

There were no pedestrians on the road now, so Kirihara Aka didn't choose a special place. The billboard fell ten meters away from them.

Several members of the Junior Detective Team stared at the scene in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

What just happened? Kirihara Akaya hit the billboard with a tennis ball?!

Conan and Haibara Ai were just about to push the other children away, but they didn't expect to see this scene.

The loud noise of the light board falling to the ground attracted a lot of onlookers. They didn't understand how the light board fell to this position.

"It should be an accident caused by a screw falling off?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya picked up the screw that had just fallen and looked at Conan for his opinion.

Conan ran to the light board to check its condition. "No, look at the cut of the wire, it's too neat. It must have been cut by someone to prevent it from being caught by the wire when it falls."

Huihara Ai continued, "And the murderer didn't choose this place casually. This is the Kamen Ultraman vending machine that Genta comes to see every day."

Kirihara Akaya also thought about what would happen to Kojima Genta if he was not there today.

"This is murder, call the police, I'll call the police!"

Everyone else also realized that this was indeed a murder, and the target was their good friend Genta Kojima.

"Can't call the police!"

When he heard the word "call the police", Kojima Genta became extremely nervous, and Conan noticed it.

"Let's get out of here and find a quiet place to talk."

Then they all walked into the hamburger shop. Kojima Genta seemed to have forgotten the danger that had just happened and ran to the bar to order food.

Kirihara Akaya followed him and ordered a lot of food together.

"Yuanta, tell me, what happened to you? Why would someone want to kill you?"

Originally, Genta Kojima wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but Conan saw through him and he had to confess the truth in the end.

"I saw a serial robber and called the police. I don't know how he knew, but he called my house directly and warned me not to call the police or he would attack my family and friends."

"Ah, so you've been avoiding us lately to ensure our safety? Yuanta, you're such a nice person, but I'm not afraid. If he dares to come, I'll use a tennis ball to deal with him!"

Kirihara Akari didn't mention tennis either. Others were still thinking about the ball he had just scored, and he now drew everyone's attention to himself.

"Akaye, you were so awesome just now!"

"Yeah, he actually knocked the signboard flying!"

"Can you teach me?"

The three idiots of Teitan obviously had simple ideas. They just admired the person who could hit a ball with such great power.

Conan and Haibara Ai gathered together to discuss this matter.

"Haiya, has Dr. Agasa ever helped Akaya modify a tennis racket or tennis ball?"

"I haven't heard from Dr. Agasa, and I haven't seen anything related to tennis in the house."

Conan's watch equipped with an anesthetic needle and his strength-enhancing sneakers were both made by Dr. Agasa.

With his precedent, Conan and Haibara Ai subconsciously thought that the tennis ball that was beyond normal cognition was so powerful because it had been modified.

"Oh, that's nothing, I know a senior who can even demolish a house with a tennis ball!"

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"really?"

"Of course it's true. I can't do it now, but when I grow up I will be able to destroy a house!"

Kirihara Akaya thought of his strength before he crossed over, and spoke with extraordinary certainty.

"Demolishing the house?!"

Conan and Haibara's pupils trembled at the same time. Is this still the tennis they know?

Conan shook his head, deciding not to dwell on this question for now, and turned to ask Genta, "Where did you meet the Lian Du robber?"

"Ah, I seemed to be asleep at the time and I can't remember anything at all, but there was a blond older brother who saw it too, and we went to call the police together."

"Big blond brother?"

"Yes, he was sitting next to me at the time."

"Yuanta, think about whether there are any other details."

"Ah, he's wearing a mask and glasses, and a white skull T-shirt with 202 on it. Ah! That's the T-shirt."
