Detective Conan: Orange-flavored summer

Chapter 174 The case is over

Xiaolan looked at Sonoko and nodded in affirmation: "Shinichi showed me the photos taken at the scene, there is absolutely no mistake!"

After saying that, she secretly glanced at Conan beside her, and noticing Xiaolan's gaze, Conan nodded slightly.

"Sister Xiaolan, please call the police quickly." At this time, Conan suddenly spoke.

"Oh, okay." Xiaolan took out her cell phone and called the police.

Then, they waited for the police to arrive. Shangguan Qianxia had some guesses, but she didn't plan to intervene this time. Let's leave it to a great detective to solve the mystery that has been bothering him for many years.

Soon, the police arrived. It was Officer Megure who arrived with a big belly. He went in first, observed the deceased, then looked at Xiaolan and the others and started asking some questions.

Inspector Megure frowned. He felt like he had seen the word "death" somewhere in this case.

"Yes! I remember now, this case is the same as the one ten years ago!"

"Yes, Officer Megure, do you have any clues?" Xiaolan asked Officer Megure curiously.

Conan and the others also looked at Inspector Megure. Inspector Megure pondered for a moment, then shook his head slowly and said, "No, I just remember that Yusaku asked me to close the case by accident."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's brows were twisted into knots. Shangguan Qianxia saw this and thought, this won't work, I need to give you some hints.

So, she paused, then said, "Well... is there a possibility that this word was really formed by accident?"

"But...how can the word 'death' be formed?" Sera Masumi looked at Shangguan Chinatsu in confusion and asked.

Shangguan Qianxia opened her mouth. She had just planned not to interfere, but suddenly she couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Oh, I don't know either. Just say whatever you want."

Although she said that, only Haibara Ai could truly understand that she already knew the answer, but just didn't want to tell them, so she directly thought about the sentence "the word death was formed by accident."

Conan was also standing nearby, his eyes flickering. If the word "death" in the case his father assisted in was an accident, then his father's withdrawal was understandable.

Then, he stared at the word "death" under the dead body's ground. If it was written by a human, it would definitely not be written like this, so it is very likely that the word "death" was formed by something.

"There's no other way. Let's check the nearby surveillance cameras." Officer Megure instructed a police officer.

Shangguan Chinatsu looked at Inspector Megure in surprise. She didn't expect that Inspector Megure would actually think of the surveillance video. You know, they rarely watched it when they were handling cases before.

Then, she looked at Conan, whose glasses had begun to reflect the light. She realized that Conan might have some guesses, but he was still one step away from the final step.

So, Shangguan Qianxia first touched her body, then looked down at Huiyuan Ai and asked in confusion: "Xiao Ai, do you have any change?"

Huiyuan Ai gave her a strange look, but still said, "When we go out, you pay for it."

"That's right." Shangguan Qianxia smiled embarrassedly, then looked at Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, do you have any change?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Shangguan Qianxia cleared her throat before she spoke: "I'm suddenly thirsty, I want to buy a bottle of drink."

Xiaolan nodded when she heard this, and then took out a five-hundred-yuan coin from her bag.

"Thank you." Shangguan Qianxia smiled and stretched out her hand to take the coin.

Then she walked towards the vending machine. When she arrived in front of the machine and was about to put the five-hundred-yuan coin into the coin slot, she pretended to be unsteady, and the coin fell to the ground.

It slid and rolled, and by coincidence, it rolled directly to the dead body under the dead body, and very coincidentally fit into one of the dead body's parts.

Shangguan Qianxia smiled slightly, then pretended to be hurried and said: "Conan, can you help me pick it up?"

Conan looked at the coin for a long time. At this time, Xiaolan patted Conan on the shoulder, and he came back to his senses. He squatted down and picked up the coin. He handed it to Shangguan Qianxia with a smile, and then said, "Thank you, Sister Xia Xi!"

Shangguan Qianxia raised her eyebrows in a puzzled manner, then said in confusion: "I should be the one to thank Conan."

Conan just looked at Shangguan Chinatsu with a smile on his face and said nothing.

Shangguan Qianxia took the coins, went to the vending machine, and bought a bottle of Coke.

On the other side, Conan pulled Xiaolan aside and talked to her in a low voice.

"Lan, I have solved this case. Please cooperate with me for a while."

Xiaolan first widened her eyes, then nodded to show that she understood.

Here, Officer Megure shook his head. After finding no clues, he could only helplessly say, "Come to the police station and make a statement."

"Wait a moment, Officer Megure." At this time, Xiaolan's mouth moved, but the voice seemed to come from behind her.

"What's wrong, Xiaolan?" Inspector Megure looked at Xiaolan in confusion. Sonoko and Sera Masumi also looked at Xiaolan.

"I already know how the word 'death' was formed!"

"what?!"

"Yes, Sonoko, you should have some change on you, right?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Very well, Xia Xi, I want to ask you for a favor, is that okay?"

"no problem."

"Okay, Sonoko, give your change to Natsuki."

Although Yuanzi was a little confused, she still gave all the change to Shangguan Qianxia.

After Shangguan Qianxia got the change, she had no intention of showing off. She turned to look at Xiaolan, waiting for her next words.

"Okay, now please put your change on the word 'death'."

Shangguan Qianxia lowered her head and looked at the word "death". Although she still wanted to play dumb, it was too obvious. She could only arrange it properly.

Then she nodded as if she had suddenly realized something and said, "I understand. Once we combine the coin, the blood text and the change, you will see that they match perfectly."

"That's right. These aren't words that were deliberately written by anyone. It's just that the coins were scattered all over the floor and blood just happened to flow down, which created this scene by chance."

At this time, Yuanzi looked at the figure in confusion, and then asked: "But, then, how do you explain that long and narrow gap?"

"Could it be that the blood avoided that position by itself?"

Sera Masumi looked at Sonoko and explained, "No, I think it was just because the cigarette happened to fall in that place. After all, the cigarette was also stained with blood."
