Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 47 The Theater Murder Trial: The Beginning

"Megan, are you hurt?"

[Yes, I got hit on the head by a vase, and my scalp was cut.]

However, I cleaned myself; it's just that the Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior's sense of smell is too keen, even more so than a police dog.

"……Thank you."

Ugh, this damn name, when will I finally get a name change card?

Qi Ming sighed inwardly.

……

"In that case, everyone, please follow me. I'll take you to get the flyers."

After a while, seeing that it was almost time, Ran Mouri's group leader clapped her hands, waved and said goodbye, preparing to lead everyone to the backstage to get the flyers.

However, just as he opened the wooden door behind the stage, a piercing scream suddenly echoed from behind the door.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!"

Conan, who was initially feeling a bit bored, instantly perked up upon hearing the scream.

Familiar, so familiar!

That's what the witnesses say every time a murder occurs!

Ignoring Ran Mouri's calls, Conan dashed through the door with his short legs.

The three children also became like wild horses, charging forward.

"what happened?"

Qi Ming had a vague sense of unease and followed behind the group with Xiao Ai in tow.

Upon entering the backstage area, Qi Ming could smell a strong stench of blood in the air of the enclosed corridor.

At the end of the corridor, there stood Mitsuhiko Ayumi, who had run out ahead, standing blankly outside the last open room in the corridor.

Their faces were filled with terror, as if they had witnessed some great horror in the room.

"Eeya ya ya ya!"

As her numb nerves regained some sensation, Ayumi first covered her mouth and screamed in terror, then retreated in fear.

Seeing the crowd following behind, she quickly ran over and buried her little head in Ran Mouri's arms, crying.

If the girl is like this, then Genta and Mitsuhiko are no better off.

They all turned away, pale-faced, clutching their throats and feeling nauseous.

"What's wrong, what happened?"

Ran Mouri was slightly puzzled by the children's reactions and quickened her pace.

"Sister Xiaolan, please don't come any closer!"

Inside the room, Conan heard Ran's voice and increasingly close footsteps coming from the hallway. He walked out of the room with a gloomy face and shook his head at Ran.

"You'd better not look at the scenes inside, and call the police immediately."

"A murder has occurred here!"

The commander was stunned. Someone had died in his territory, and it was a murder.

Ignoring Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki's advice, he rushed straight out of the room.

Upon seeing the scene inside, he covered his mouth in horror, his face pale as he muttered to himself.

"Tajima, how could this happen? Who did this?"

……

Qi Ming now finally understood where his ominous premonition came from.

How the hell are people still dead?

Although the regimental commander spoke softly, Qi Ming could still see the subtitles.

The person who died was the very person Megan had asked to persuade. Doesn't this mean the plan has to be changed back to the initial version?

Xiaomei!

Tyrannosaurus Rex Warrior, you're here to persuade them, not to kill them!

Qi Ming immediately contacted Megan in the space.

"Megan, report back on the procedures you just followed."

Okay, I spent 30 seconds finding Kenzo Tajima.

"Oh, that's great! Very efficient, Xiaomei is awesome!"

Then I discovered that he was talking to the original victim, Chikaishi Tetsuo.

"Oh dear, this is not good."

Then I managed to pass him a note to lure Kenzo Tajima out, and invited him to the last empty room.

"clever!"

Judging from the preliminary work, Megan's actions so far have been flawless and handled quite well.

Qi Ming then asked.

"So what's next?"

[Next, I waited for Kenzo Tajima in the room. He looked very strange, and he seemed terrified when he saw me.]

Qi Ming frowned.

Terror, why the terror?

What's so scary about a little girl knowing he's a thief, Edo Boy?

When Qi Ming was puzzled, Megan provided the answer.

Because I had my back to him, I turned my head 180 degrees.

[Kenzo Tajima seemed to have misunderstood me. He grabbed a vase from the table and hit me on the head. I felt I should defend myself, so I killed him.]

The mission was a success, and Kenzo Tajima no longer harbors any thoughts of killing.

"..."

Qi Ming sighed deeply.

He really shouldn't have been so careless as to let Megan go!

Xiaomei! Look what you've done!

Qi Ming snapped out of his reverie, glanced at Ai Haibara, and after a moment's thought, picked up the bewildered Ai and held her in his arms.

A sudden murder would terrify the little girl, and she would definitely need to be cared for.

Ai Haibara blushed and struggled slightly for a moment before looking at Qi Ming with a puzzled expression.

Qi Ming said gently, "Little Ai, don't be afraid, your brother is here."

"Ah, oh, um."

The little girl was very touched.

My sense of shame is about to burst.

"I'm fine, put me down."

Qi Ming pondered for a moment and nodded.

It seems that although this little girl is close to me, she is still not used to physical contact with people.

He understands; we can take it slow.

……

A short while later, the police arrived.

The person leading the team was a familiar face to Qi Ming: Inspector Megure.

"Hey Qi Ming, I didn't expect to see you here too!"

Inspector Megure scanned the crowd and exclaimed with delight upon spotting Qi Ming.

Although he had only met Qi Ming once, the way Qi Ming solved cases was so unpredictable that it left a deep impression on Inspector Megure.

"It's been a long time since Inspector Megure. I didn't expect you to still remember me."

Qi Ming smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

After giving a polite smile, Inspector Megure turned his gaze to Ran Mouri and the others.

His smile began to look somewhat forced.

Sure enough, it's you guys again.

How come you're always present whenever a murder occurs?

I originally thought it was a problem with Mori's health, but it seems it's actually hereditary?

I think you guys are pretty much the same!

"Xiaolan, did you call the police? Where is the crime scene?"

Ran Mouri nodded nervously, then pointed to the room at the end of the corridor.

"It's in the last room. I don't know what's going on inside, but Conan told us not to go in."

"Oh, Conan's here too... wait, where did he go?"

Inspector Megure scanned the area but did not find Conan.

Ran Mouri's heart skipped a beat.

"Could he still be in that room?"

Megure sighed helplessly.

Conan is a good kid in every way, but his curiosity is just too strong. Whenever he sees a murder case, he can't wait to rush in.

"By the way, Mr. Qi Ming, would you please come and take a look with us as well?"

Suddenly, Inspector Megure looked at Qi Ming and smiled, "Mr. Qi Ming, I heard from Mori about what happened on the Shinkansen last time. I think with your keen observation skills, you might be able to help us."

Qi Ming paused for a moment, then nodded. "No problem."

Qi Ming wasn't good at decryption, but he would be interested if he arranged for others to do the decryption himself.

Most importantly, Qi Ming suddenly had a new idea, a way of thinking that might unlock new gameplay.

"Ai, how about these two older sisters stay with you for a while? I'm going to help the police officer."

"it is good."

Sonoko Suzuki's eyes lit up when she heard Ai's answer.

Great! I must take this opportunity to get closer to my sister!
