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

Hospital toilet.

Shirakawa Qiu turned on the faucet and washed his face frantically with cold water.

The sound of running water filled the entire bathroom, making the surroundings exceptionally quiet, as if it were a separate world.

Baichuan Qiu raised his head, wiped the water stains on his face, lifted his wet hair, and looked at himself in the mirror carefully.

Water stains were still dripping from the young man's cheeks. The crystal clear water droplets lovingly slid across his fair cheeks and finally fell into the pool, as if reluctant to leave.

The light in the bathroom was a little dim, and only a part of the beam shone on the side of his face, illuminating the delicate and smooth outline and a dark shadow, as if separating two parts, one bright and one dark.

The youth's eyes were still tinged with crimson, a crimson tinge entwined within his golden pupils, ready to devour any sanity and struggle within. His face in the shadows was distorted, the corners of his mouth raised high, like a strange being trapped in a mirror, a ferocious grin fixed on its prey.

If the half of the face in the light is the gentle Mr. Shirakawa, then the half of the face in the shadow is the sinister devil who kills people like crazy.

The person in the mirror is him, but it seems not to be him.

It seemed to be a terrifying force. Once the seal was lifted, there would be no recovery.

The system's voice rang in Baichuanqiu's ears again—

"Accept the reality and stop struggling."

……

Baichuan Qiu walked out of the bathroom dejectedly and met the head nurse again.

At this moment, the head nurse was talking to another young nurse and did not notice him.

Baichuan Qiu subconsciously turned his head away, not daring to look at the other person.

But after turning around, Baichuan Qiu felt that he no longer had the urge to pick up a knife and chop people.

He hesitated and turned his gaze away cautiously.

Then he met the head nurse's eyes.

Baichuan Qiu took a deep breath and his heart suddenly sank.

Please, please, no, no—

The head nurse frowned slightly, glanced at him, and then quickly looked away, not taking the somewhat frail young man seriously.

Baichuan Qiu let out a long breath and patted his cheek belatedly.

"strangeness……"

Baichuan Qiu murmured softly.

Why does that feeling come and go so quickly?

Should he really go to a psychiatrist?

What system, what Conan, what murder...are actually all his hallucinations.

Baichuan Qiu put his hands together and prayed: "Please, it's an illness, it's an illness..."

He could take medicine, really! He'd been taking it for seven years anyway, so this wouldn't be a big deal.

Before he could continue making a wish to the heavens, he was pushed roughly.

"Why are you blocking the road? If you're sick, go get treated!"

Baichuan Qiu staggered and turned around to see a strong man.

It turned out that Shirakawa Qiu was standing at the door of the toilet, blocking other people's way.

The burly man looked him up and down, muttering rudely, "Little white face, why don't you go block the way to the women's restroom."

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

I'm not your brother, I'm really fierce now, I'll kill you if I don't agree with you.

But Baichuan Qiu stared at the burly man, his heart calm.

Angry? He was definitely angry when he was told that, but even though the villain in his heart was stabbing this guy crazily, the uncontrollable desire to kill that he had just felt was completely gone.

Could it be that - God has eyes and he has woken up from the hallucination?

However, the system shattered his fantasy: "Don't think about it, Xiao Hei also needs to rest, otherwise how can we maintain the population balance? Your influence will only appear when Conan is here."

After hearing what the system said, Baichuan Qiu quickly opened the system panel and found that his progress task had indeed been refreshed, and the target of murder had changed from Mitsuo Ueshita to a strange name.

Judging from the name, she should be the head nurse who just triggered his murderous impulse.

It turned out to be the case.

Baichuanqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it happened, otherwise he would have to be vigilant at all times in the future.

"Mr. Shirakawa!"

Ran Maori's shouts came from a distance.

Baichuan Qiu turned his head and looked at Mao Lilan who was jogging towards him with a puzzled look on his face: "Ms. Mao Li? Didn't you leave?"

Mao Lilan: "There was a murder in the hospital. I was worried about Mr. Shirakawa's condition, so I came to check on him."

Baichuan Qiu was surprised: "Murder?"

Another black guy has started working!

Should we go to the scene and learn from future colleagues?

Bah, what’s the point of seeking the truth? I’m just going there to join in the fun!

I haven’t seen the live-action version of Conan Murder Case yet!

Baichuan Qiu calmed down and said to Mao Lilan, "I feel better now. Why don't we go to the murder scene?"

Mao Lilan nodded: "Okay."

So the two of them returned the same way and came to the crime scene.

The murder took place in the stairwell, which had been cordoned off by police.

Perhaps because Mao Lilan often appeared at the scene, the police did not even stop them, and the two of them went straight to the body unhindered.

Baichuanqiu stretched his head and looked around.

Well, this chubby guy must be Megure Jusan... The short-haired girl over there must be Sato Miwako, and the tall, thin, and somewhat dull one is Takagi Wataru...

Baichuan Qiu quickly went over it in his mind.

Perfect! Although I have almost forgotten the plot, the characters are still consistent.

Megure Jusan is a veteran detective with many years of experience. Judging from his physique, he probably doesn't have very good skills. If you face him, you can choose to win by long-distance running; Sato Miwako has certain fighting ability, so if you meet her, it is best to outsmart her... Pah!

Baichuan Qiu shook his head fiercely.

What the hell, how come he has even figured out how to run away!

Baichuanqiu, you are a good citizen! You are a good citizen! Please don't think about those very cruel things!

"Mr. Shirakawa, can't you see the body?"

Mao Lilan noticed that Shirakawa Qiu's face looked bad.

"I am fine."

Only after being reminded by Mao Lilan did Shirakawa Qiu think of taking a look at the corpse on the ground.

He was a middle-aged man in a neat black suit, his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly open, his face filled with disbelief, as if he had witnessed something incredible. He lay on his back in a pool of blood, his hands slightly twisted in an irregular position, hanging naturally at his sides.

The rest is nothing special.

Baichuan Qiu took a quick glance and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Not right.

Something is very wrong.

The bloodstains were most severe below the deceased's head, consistent with a head injury from falling backwards. However, the deceased's hands showed obvious signs of fractures, as if the person had subconsciously stretched out their hands to support the ground after falling headfirst.

If he really fell down the stairs and hit the back of his head on the ground, causing severe head or even neck trauma and death, then his fractured hands should not be counted.

If he fell while going down the stairs, then it would be consistent with the situation of both his hands being broken, but his wound was on the back of his head and his body was in a supine position.

This creates a contradiction.

Baichuan Qiu observed the condition of the clothes on the chest of the corpse and the palms of its outstretched hands.

The clothes were slightly wrinkled, but there was no obvious dust. The hands were spread out naturally with the palms facing up, and there were no signs of scratches - that is, the body had not been turned over.

Apparently, this problem had also been discovered by others. Conan stared at the state of the corpse, and while the adults were not paying attention, he put on gloves and quietly raised the corpse's arms to observe.

Wow, it’s Conan after all.

Baichuan Qiu, who witnessed the whole process, raised his eyebrows and felt emotional.

I didn’t feel this way when watching TV before, but when watching it live, I can see that Conan’s movements are very obvious.

Well……

He looked around and found that people around him turned a blind eye to it.

Shirakawa Akane: Okay, as long as you're happy.

But - you don't have cameras here, it's a scientific tradition, right? ! !
