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

Chapter 49 Word Bullet 2: The Bloodstained Room

Inspector Megure stroked his beard.

"Did you find something and then leave? Could you take us to your room to see it...?"

Just as Inspector Megure was about to go to Chikaishi Tetsuo's room to check, he heard a deer cry coming from beneath him.

"Hey, Inspector Megure, do you think it's possible that Kenzo Tajima was lured out using this note?"

"He found Kenzo Tajima's location and then slipped a note under the door."

Conan said to Inspector Megure, who nodded in realization: "That's very likely."

Then Inspector Megure looked at Ikegami Ogiwara and asked, "So, Ms. Ogiwara, why did you go to that room?"

Ogiwara Keie's face was still pale as she slowly said, "I kept hearing noises coming from over there, so I decided to go and check it out."

"The power suddenly went out when I went there, so I wanted to check the circuit breaker. But as I was leaving, I felt a child bump into me. After a while, the power came back on, so I went back and saw..."

Oh, I see.

Qi Ming now understood.

So Megan was referring to Ogiwara Keie when she said she was being noticed.

Xiaomei, remember not to make such a big commotion next time.

【Alright, Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior】

"Um……"

Inspector Megure stroked his chin thoughtfully.

There were no other useful clues in the house, and the knife had been checked and no fingerprints were found.

Everything in the case seems to have come full circle.

Perhaps what they said was true, but since they were all in their own rooms, no one could verify it.

Conan also sensed something was wrong.

He always had a feeling that the culprit wasn't one of these three, or rather, one of these two, since Ito Koko was still just a child...

Conan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Ito Koko and asked, "Koko, what size shoes do you wear?"

"Ok?"

When Ito Koko saw Conan, her eyes lit up. She had recently transferred to Teitan Elementary School and was in a different class from Conan.

However, because Conan looks a lot like her older brother when they were young, she has a deep impression of Conan.

Although she wanted to talk to Conan, Ito Koko knew the situation was right. Even though she didn't know why Conan was asking this, she still replied, "30 yards, Conan, why are you asking this?"

"Hehe, it's nothing."

Is this a coincidence?

It's exactly the same size as the shoe print...

However, it seems rather foolish of me to ask this question in the first place.

Based on the current situation, if Ogiwara Keie is not lying, then it means that the murderer must have escaped when the power tripped.

Conan has now confirmed that this case was not committed by a single person; there were accomplices involved!

One person operates the power switch, and the other is responsible for the murder!

Conan brainstormed and made deductions based on the existing evidence.

There was a power outage in the lobby, perhaps because someone left the lobby or came in from the outside. To avoid arousing our suspicion, our accomplice turned the power back on.

Then, the commotion caused by the murderer killing Kenzo Tajima was so great that it caught the attention of Ite Ogiwara.

The killer noticed footsteps outside, contacted his accomplices inside, and escaped in the darkness after the power went out!

This might be the truth behind the whole case!

He still has one clue he hasn't used yet, and that is the Edo boy!

This information almost certainly confirms the motive for the murder!

If we find someone present who is connected to Edo Kid, or who knows that Kenzo Tajima is Edo Kid, then the truth will be revealed!

"Ughhhh, ughhh."

Qi Ming yawned, then shook his head and clicked his tongue when he saw Conan looking like he was racking his brains.

"Protagonist, have you figured it out yet? Can't you even understand such a simple question?"

Upon hearing Qi Ming's address, Conan couldn't help but interrupt his thoughts and squinted at Qi Ming.

What the hell is this "protagonist" thing? Why do they keep saying that to me?!

"Brother Qi Ming, do you already know?"

Qi Ming smiled confidently, "Of course, I already know who the murderer is."

Of course, his robot did it (proudly)!

Although some minor evidence was left behind, it's not a big problem.

Conan glanced at Qi Ming with some surprise.

Even he only has a direction for the investigation now, so how did Qi Ming find the murderer?

Qi Ming chuckled and whispered to Conan:

"Detective, have you ever heard the saying, 'When something is really weird, there must be a ghost'?"

"But this time it wasn't human interference, it was a real ghost, a ghost that killed people."

“…Hehe.” Conan turned his head away and chuckled silently.

This person is indeed a bit neurotic.

We live in a materialistic and scientific world; where would any gods or ghosts come from?

"Oh, you still don't believe me?"

Qi Ming suddenly grabbed Conan by the arm and entered the murder scene, then shook Conan back and forth as if he were fiddling with a camera.

“Look at this astonishing amount of blood. The murderer produced so much blood, yet there isn’t a drop of blood in the hallway except for this room.”

"Besides, this place is enclosed. Even if the murderer wanted to escape through the corridor, it's impossible to guarantee that he wouldn't get a drop of blood on him, right?"

Conan's expression gradually turned serious.

Yes, he overlooked the factor of bloodstains!

With so much blood, how could the murderer possibly escape unscathed?

Conan, disregarding his own clinging to Qi Ming's merciless iron grip, hurriedly shouted to Inspector Megure:

"Hey, Inspector Megure, there's so much blood in that room. Maybe the killer got blood on their clothes? Or maybe they just left their blood-stained clothes somewhere!"

Inspector Megure paused for a moment, then waved to the officers and said:

"Search the entire theater. Also, everyone stay put. We need to check if anyone has blood on them!"

……

Soon, an hour slowly passed.

Conan listened to the reports from Inspector Megure and the various officers, his expression gradually becoming blank.

No!

No blood-stained clothes could be found anywhere!

Not to mention clothing, no bloodstains could be detected in the entire theater, except for this room, whether using ultraviolet light or reagents!

After checking everyone present, no bloodstains were found on anyone.

Aside from Ogiwara Ikee, since she fainted directly in the room and her clothes were stained with blood.

Conan was unusually troubled by a headache.

The prisoner was just like the ghost Qi Ming had described; after killing someone, he vanished silently from the corner without leaving a trace.

He still has many clues to use, just like that Edo boy.

But the problem now is, what's the use of knowing the motive? The method of the crime and the way to escape without leaving a trace in the blood-stained room are still mysteries!

Conan felt unusually lost, like a headless fly, unable to find any direction for his deductions.

Just as Conan and the police officers were at a stalemate, Qi Ming, who had been looking at his phone, suddenly stepped forward.

"Inspector Megure, I already know who the culprit is."

"Huh? Really, Brother Qi Ming?" Inspector Megure looked at Qi Ming with a surprised expression.

"Of course." Qi Ming smiled confidently.

Of course, Qi Ming did not intend to turn himself in.

Instead, they felt that they had played long enough and it was time for dinner.

What if our child goes hungry? They're still growing!

His role as a rhythm master and a troublemaker in murder mystery games has officially begun.

Qi Ming's sharp gaze swept over everyone before he reached out.

The finger pointed at one of the women.

"Ogiwara Ikee, you're the culprit! You killed Tajima Kenzo!"

【? ? 】

Megan, standing in the space, expressed her confusion.

Didn't I kill him?
