Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Sugamoto Yoshiharu looked at Amuro Toru in surprise, with an awkward smile on his face: "You, you knew it from her?"

Amuro Toru smiled and shook his head, and replied: "I learned about it from other teachers. At that time, I received a commission from Shibuya teacher to protect her from stalkers. So I came here to investigate."

Sugamoto Yoshiharu nervously turned his head to look at the group of colleagues standing at the door. Amuro Toru noticed his movements and continued to answer: "So at that time I specifically marked you as a person who needs to be paid attention to."

Judy couldn't help but walked forward and asked in a bad tone, "Are you the stalker who has been harassing Xia Zi?"

Sugamoto Yoshiharu hastily retorted: "You got it wrong. I was trying to protect her from those boring men."

Judy continued to ask in a disbelieving tone: "You want to protect her?"

Sugamoto Yoshiharu murmured a little embarrassedly: "I might as well tell you frankly that I will protect her every day until she returns home safely.

However, even though I was protecting her, I still had to be careful not to let her notice that I was following her. I was guarding her from behind with all my heart. Sometimes she looked around as if she had noticed me, which was so adorable. It made me feel strongly that I had to protect her well. "

Judy yelled at Sugamoto Yoshiharu directly: "Your behavior is called a stalker."

Inspector Megure stared at Sugamoto Yoshiharu with a serious expression and asked, "Could it be that she criticized you for this behavior and you got angry and..."

Sugamoto Yoshiharu hastily explained: "I didn't do anything ungraceful like that. It was really after eight o'clock when I came here and I didn't see her anymore. And there was a stack of graded test papers in her bag.

As a teacher, I know the rule that you can't bring that kind of thing home. "

Ueno Shinyo exclaimed, "You mean the test papers? When I met her here last night, she seemed to be grading the papers in a hurry. I was thinking, maybe she didn't listen carefully to my advice to her."

Officer Megure asked Ueno Shinyo: "I also want to confirm that the reason you came here to find Teacher Shirong is to remind her not to seduce your son again. What grade is your son in?"

Judy put one hand on her waist: "I know this, I guess she should be a first-year student like Conan. Because I heard Xia Zi say before that she is the mentor of Class C of the first year."

Ueno Shinyo hastily retorted, "My son is in the fifth grade of elementary school, not the first grade as she said. It is precisely because he is not mentally mature and is in the sentimental stage that I came to remind Mr. Shibuya that he should maintain a dignified appearance."

Yoshiharu Sugamoto echoed, "Since Ms. Shibuya studied in the United States for many years, her English is very fluent. So it seems that she will also be teaching English to senior students."

Kudo Yuki looked at Amuro Toru and saw him pretending to listen carefully to the analysis. She couldn't help but complain in her heart: "This is a complete show! But I'll just watch the show."

At this time, Shushu also noticed Kudo Yuki's eyes. It ate pine nuts and watched the show. It looked so happy.

Then, Kamiya Fumiyuki began to complain that his car had been stolen: "This morning when I was about to drive to work, I found that my car had been vandalized and was gone.

I reported the case right away, and because of that, I had to take the train to work. I took the bus here, and I was mistaken for a murder suspect, which was really bad luck.”

When Judy heard what Kamiya Fumiyuki said, she yelled angrily, "I'm warning you, Xia Zi is still alive."

However, when Kamiya Fumiyuki tried to light a cigarette with his left hand, Sugamoto Yoshiharu stopped him because smoking was prohibited in the school. He had no choice but to continue muttering, "I came here and found the school building was pitch black, and even the door was closed. Anyway, it must have been that stalker teacher, or the old woman who took the teacher out before I got here."

After listening to what Kamitachi Fumiyuki said, Officer Megure had some guesses in his mind. He asked, "It is also possible that you drove the injured and unconscious teacher away before Ms. Ueno left and Mr. Sugamoto came here."

Kamiya Fumiyuki agreed, "That's true. I came here as agreed, but the teacher wasn't here."

Officer Megure then asked, "Did you and Mr. Shibuya agree to meet at nine o'clock in the evening?"

Kamiya Fumiyuki nodded and replied, “Yes.”

Officer Takagi then asked, "There is an unsent text message in Mr. Shibuya's phone that says 'We agreed to meet at around 8:30, will you be there on time?' I wonder if the recipient of the text message is you?"

Kamiya Fumiyuki responded: "How would I know that? The reason you asked this is because the recipient is not specified on it. It may be intended to be sent to that old lady, but she arrived when I was still texting her, so I didn't continue.

But, just think of it as a text message to me. It was only because her mind was full of addition and subtraction of numbers that she got it wrong. After all, she was grading papers at the time.

Inspector Megure placed the photo of the problematic test paper on the table: "Even if it's a simple question, it's possible that you might get confused and make mistakes when you have to look at so many numbers at once."

Kudo Yuki walked forward, took a look at the photo, then looked at Amuro Toru, Judy, and Cameron: "If you don't observe carefully, is there any difference between the test marking habits in this country and other countries?"

Amuro Toru looked at Kudo Yuki with a smile on his face, while Judy leaned forward, pointed at the pattern above, and said, "It's the illustration on the upper right corner. If a student gets 100 points in an exam in the United States, they write "Excellent", which means very good, but she told me that in this country, they draw flowers."

Amuro Toru walked over to Kudo Yuki and looked at Judy: "Is that all? FBI."

Amuro looked at Cameron again: "What about you who are of German descent? Is this the only information you can interpret from this photo?"

Cameron picked up the photo on the table and said, "Because the correct answer in this country seems to be a circle, the score on the top test paper should be correct."

"Xiaoxue, it seems that you and I have seen the problem." Amuro Toru looked at Judy and Cameron and laughed out loud, "It seems that we are the only ones who have understood everything."

Amuro Toru turned around and looked at Conan again: "Am I right? Edogawa Conan."

Conan turned his head to look at Amuro Toru, pretending not to understand and asked: "What are you talking about?"

Amuro Toru directly exposed: "Conan, after you looked at the photo, didn't you immediately glance at the criminal?"

Amuro Toru looked at Kudo Yuki: "And Yuki has been staring at that person for quite a while."

Inspector Megure looked at Kudo Yuki and asked, "Do you know who the criminal is?"

Kudo Yuki nodded, and she turned her head to look at Amuro Toru: "But I'm a little curious, why did Shibuya Natsuko come to ask Toru to help her investigate the stalker?"

Amuro Toru felt a little proud when he heard what Kudo Yuki said. He looked at Judy and said, "Shibuya Natsuko has a good friend who is a famous FBI agent."

When Judy heard this, she looked at Amuro Toru speechlessly and shouted, "What do you mean by that? Do you mean it's because I'm unreliable?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Cameron quickly found an excuse and inserted himself between them: "The purpose of our visit to this country is sightseeing."

Amuro Toru looked at Judy and Cameron righteously and said, "You are here for sightseeing. If you don't have a visa, your stay should be almost up. Now that you have had a good sightseeing, can you please go back quickly? Leave my country as soon as possible."

Conan walked up to Amuro Toru and whispered softly, "Excuse me, Zero, no, Amuro-sama, come here for a moment."

Conan took Amuro Toru to a corner, and Kudo Yuki followed. Conan saw that it was his sister, and didn't say much.

Amuro Toru squatted down, and Conan whispered in his ear: "Amuro-sama, are you more powerful than the police?"

Amuro Toru raised a smile and replied, "Regarding my childhood nickname, that thing is true. However, I won't tell you the answer. You should find the clues yourself."

After Amuro Toru finished speaking, he stood up, looked at Kudo Yuki, and then walked into the house with a smile. He murmured to everyone in the room: "It's about time we solve the mystery."

Kudo Yuki rubbed Conan's head and said, "Conan, you have to work hard!" After that, Kudo Yuki also went into the house.

Officer Megure asked Toru Amuro: "Can you tell us what's wrong with these test papers?"

Amuro Toru pointed at the test paper and said, "Please look carefully at the answer sheet on the top and the answer sheet on the bottom.

For example, the answers to this question are the same, the one above is circled, and all the answers on the test paper of this student of Hirai Kaihiko are ticked. I don’t know why there is a wreath for 100 points, don’t you think it’s strange?”

Conan walked into the room and called Judy. Judy walked up to Conan, leaned over and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Conan said seriously, "Why did you call Mr. Shibuya last night?"

Judy replied, "It's because I made a date with her for drinks."

"Who made the appointment?" Conan continued to ask.

Judy replied, "She did send me a message. But it's really strange that Xia Zi said she didn't remember sending me a message. Never mind, she did have that message in her phone anyway, so maybe she really was confused."

Conan asked again: "I remember that your phone battery was out of power, so you borrowed Cameron's phone to call, right?"

Judy smiled and responded, "Although I charge my phone every night, I use it too often. Every evening, the battery is dead."

After hearing this, Conan understood: "It's not good. This may be because..." He stopped talking.

Kudo Yuki looked at Conan's understanding eyes, nodded secretly in her heart, and then looked away. Conan had already found some important clues.

The next second, Toru Amuro whispered to Judy: "Agent Judy Stelling, could you please listen to me carefully? After all, I am now explaining the part about the criminal who was attacked by your good friend."

After finishing his speech, Toru Amuro turned his head and looked at everyone in the room, and continued his narration: "In this country, you circle the correct answer and tick the wrong answer. But in the United States, you tick the answer to indicate that it is correct. Am I right, Agent Chit-Chi?"

Judy nodded and explained seriously, "That's not actually a check mark, but a check mark. If it's a computer-graded test, in this country, they will also mark the correct answer, just like that."

Officer Takagi asked, "But why are there circles for those who answered incorrectly?"

Judy responded: "The circle means that the answer is wrong and needs to be checked again. Some teachers will also circle the wrong answers, but not all do the same.

So, the papers covered at the bottom were graded by Xia Zi, who had returned from studying in the United States, and the papers on the top were graded by the locals. In other words, the criminal graded the papers afterwards, is that right?"

Amuro Toru nodded and said, "And if you look carefully, the circle on the test paper is very crooked. Don't you think it has exceeded the border of the answer field?"

Inspector Megure asked: "But what about this?"

Amuro Toru smiled and replied: "One possible reason is that the criminal's hands are very clumsy, or he wanted to use a red pen to hide something red."

Judy understood what Amuro Toru meant and murmured, "Bloodstains."

Cameron chimed in, "Last night the criminals attacked her here, and her blood splattered all over the table and the unmarked papers. In order to hide the bloodstains, they used a red pen to trace the bloodstains and then connected them into a circle, which is why the papers are so crooked."

Amuro Toru put his hands in his pockets and said, "That's right. The question is, which of the three people did that thing?"

Kudo Yuki walked up to Conan and joked: "Conan, you also know who the criminal is. Tell me what you think."

Conan looked at his sister's teasing eyes and explained awkwardly: "It's just drawing circles. Just look at the circles in the photos and you'll know. You'll know who drew the wreaths at a glance. Compare the circles drawn by Shibuya-sensei and the criminal's circles to see if the directions of the vortexes are different."

Officer Takagi looked at the photo and responded, "The wreath drawn by the criminal rotates counterclockwise, but it usually rotates clockwise."

Conan went on to explain: "In that case, the criminal would not be Mr. Sugamoto who wiped his sweat with a handkerchief in his right hand; nor would it be Ms. Ueno who accepted the handkerchief lent to her by Mr. Cameron with her right hand; but Mr. Kami-datsu who wanted to light the cigarette with a lighter in his left hand at that time would be the only candidate."
