Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

After watching the scene for a while, Kudo Shinichi finally couldn't help but pull Shirakawa Akane's sleeve.

"Mr. Shirakawa, I want to go upstairs and take a look."

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

He turned his head and saw that the blond mixed-race boy's eyes were full of interest in the case.

Sure enough, the detective's soul is burning brightly.

But that’s okay, at least the kid remembers to tell him.

"Do you think there is something wrong with this case?" Shirakawa Akane did not agree to this immediately, but asked Kudo Shinichi instead.

Kudo Shinichi frowned, his fingers rubbing his chin subconsciously: "I always feel that there is something wrong with this case, but I can't tell what it is."

Maybe it's just detective intuition.

Bai Chuanqiu raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then let's go up there and take a look."

The protagonist's intuition is often not wrong.

So the two of them took advantage of the fact that the others were still downstairs and quietly went upstairs from the other side and came to the scene where the person was pushed.

The scene has been cordoned off by the police, and several police officers are taking pictures of the surroundings.

This is a small open-air flat on the second floor, about 100 square meters. The entire exterior is in the shape of an arc and is tightly protected by European-style carved railings. Directly opposite is the villa's back garden and lawn, which looks very spacious.

In the middle of the small flat are several sunshades and sun loungers, and even a hanging swing. On the side is a glass greenhouse filled with various fresh flowers and bonsai.

The entire platform is full of leisure atmosphere.

I have to say, rich people know how to enjoy themselves.

Kudo Shinichi walked forward and wanted to check the edge of the balcony, but was stopped by the police officer.

"Please leave if you are not interested." The police officer looked at Baichuan Qiu, "Don't run around with your child."

"Ian" has a mixed-race face and looks very young, so the police officers treated him like a little kid.

"Sorry to bother you." Shirakawa Akane gave Kudo Shinichi a look, walked aside with the police officer, and took out his business card. "I'm Mr. Clausen's lawyer. This is my business card."

The police officer took the business card in surprise, looked at the word "Sakura" on it, and raised his head in confusion: "A lawyer from Sakura?"

"Yes." Shirakawa nodded. "Although Sakura's lawyers can't directly participate in the US case, this case happened suddenly. As the only lawyer currently present for the Clauson family, I think I still have the right to inquire about it on behalf of my employer, right?"

While Shirakawa Qiu was attracting the attention of the police, Kudo Shinichi had quietly bypassed the police and quickly investigated the traces on the railings and the ground.

Squatting on the ground, looking at the irregular water marks on the ground, Kudo Shinichi's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he continued to look up at the railing in front of him.

This is a very classical European carving technique. The white railings are tall and elegant, and the carefully carved patterns on the columns are winding like vines, delicate and lively. The small carved balls decorating the joints add a touch of magnificence and nobility to the overall look.

This railing is very tight, there is definitely no chance of it loosening and causing someone to fall.

only--

Kudo Shinichi suddenly discovered that there were obvious scratches on the carved ball on one of the railings.

This trace—

Kudo Shinichi felt something was strange and leaned over the railing to look outside.

Hey, there's a gap on the outer edge...

"Hey, kid! Stop looking!"

Another police officer called out to Kudo Shinichi.

Kudo Shinichi was startled and immediately turned his head in confusion and trotted to Shirakawa Akane's side.

"Sorry, he's just a little curious." Shirakawa Akane held Kudo Shinichigo behind him and said apologetically.

"Go, go." The officer who had been talking to Shirakawa Qiu earlier also waved his hand. "Even if you're Clausen's lawyer, you can't just wander around the scene casually, bringing a little kid who only knows how to cause trouble. This is seriously affecting our work. Be careful that you're also listed as a suspect."

"Sorry, we'll leave right away."

Shirakawa Akane pushed his glasses up, bowed apologetically to the police officer in front of him, then turned around and left the scene with Kudo Shinichi.

It was not until he was out of those people's sight that Kudo Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young man, if you want to do bad things, you must have a strong heart." Bai Chuanqiu glanced at him and taught him earnestly, "You should practice more in the future, otherwise you will be easily caught."

Kudo Shinichi: "...Okay, I'll try my best next time."

Bai Chuanqiu looked at him again, and after a long silence, he said faintly: "Shouldn't you say that I promise not to do bad things in the future?"

Kudo Shinichi: "!!!"

That’s right! How could I have been led astray by Mr. Shirakawa?

The boy opened his eyes wide, his light blue eyes full of disbelief.

Even the system burst out laughing: "Hahaha, this is the famous scene where Xiao Hei leads the famous detective astray!"

Baichuan Qiu looked away: "Forget it, as a detective, this kind of thing is reasonable."

The correct ending is what matters most, he understands that.

Kudo Shinichi: “…” For a moment, he was speechless.

"Did you find anything?" Baichuanqiu asked.

Kudo Shinichi recalled the traces at the scene and had some ideas, but not much: "I have found some, but I don't have any clues."

Although Morganna's attitude of avoiding the police suggests that she was the one who pushed the person down the stairs, the situation at the scene still raises some doubts.

"Mr. Shirakawa, do you think Morgana was actually being used?" Kudo Shinichi whispered. "Judging from those suspicious traces, someone must have made special preparations before the crime, perhaps waiting to use Morgana as a scapegoat."

Morgana was also a little drunk, and she might have actually reached out to push the person, so she didn't react at all after the incident and just thought that she was the one who pushed the person down the stairs.

"Why do you think so?"

Kudo Shinichi recalled the row of carved railings, his eyes full of confusion: "I've seen that row of railings. The height and stability are all correct. There is no problem at all. It is impossible for an ordinary person to fall directly from it."

Railings, railings, they definitely play a protective role. If you fall down with just a push, then the value of the railing is too low.

And judging from the craftsmanship, the carved patterns alone are worth a lot of money.

Bai Chuanqiu chuckled: "Actually, no matter what the final truth of this case is, maintaining the status quo is the best option."

"Eh?" Kudo Shinichi looked at him.

"If Morgana is eventually taken away as the murderer, the FBI will have an opportunity to take her into their hands. Even if they can't take her away, they can use this opportunity to target the Clauson family and gain more information."

After hearing what Shirakawa Akane said, Kudo Shinichi fell silent.

It is indeed a very good idea.

"But what if Morgana isn't the murderer? Wouldn't that let the real murderer get away?"

Kudo Shinichi frowned slightly when he thought of the woman's body on the ground, obviously unable to accept the fact that the real murderer had escaped.

Baichuanqiu sighed.

——What happened?

I'm already dead, what else can I do?
