Chapter 4 04 - Unexpected Suspect (1)
"Where have we met before?"
This kind of most elementary probing language should have made Kuroba Kaito feel unmoved and even a little bit laughing-if you are talking about this face, you probably saw it in the mirror-but Kudo Shinichi When asking this question, he raised his right hand and sniffed the scent of his fingertips.
So explicit...!But it is indeed the most direct way of confirmation - pheromones are specific, if the cold fragrance of Kaito Kidd's rose was on them when they shook hands just now, Kuroba Kaito is already GG.Although the memory of the alpha in the susceptibility period will become blurred when the gun is misfired, the pheromone smell of the combined omega will never be forgotten.
Fortunately, Mr. Phantom Thief also knew that this place was the dead spot, and he had already prepared for it.
"No, today is the first time we met." Kuroba replied with a smile.Kudo didn't respond to this sentence, he lowered his eyes and thought about something from just now, Kuroba narrowed his eyes slightly as if pleased with this: "Look at this expression, you seem to smell something, Kudo-kun."
"...the smell of the ocean, and green tea and citrus." Kudo raised his eyes without showing a troubled expression, "This is not your pheromone."
"Correct answer~" Kuroba grinningly snapped his fingers, with a congratulatory wink, "It's just a male fragrance that I often use. Kudo-kun may not be clear, in a performance where there are many people, the leading role of non-beta In order to avoid emergencies, odor blockers are often used: the outside world can’t smell my smell, and the outside world’s pheromones can’t pass through—it’s better than inhibitors in special cases.”
"Well, I've heard of this habit. But..." Kudo raised one eyebrow, "You didn't use it yesterday, did you. It's impossible for people who have used omega pheromones to use omega pheromones to deal with alpha punks." provocative."
Kuroba blinked his eyes in surprise: "Did Matsushima say all of this...it's true that he didn't, what's wrong?"
"It's a bit strange. Yesterday's performance was one more than today's. Why did it not work yesterday? Instead, it used an odor blocker today? Could it be..." Since the meeting, Kudo Shinichi's face was the first time A smile appeared, but Kaito Kuroba shuddered, "Today, are you going to meet someone who absolutely cannot let him smell his pheromone scent?"
That's right, Kuroba Kaito didn't have the habit of using odor blocking agents in the past.As expected...too perceptive, this guy not only dug out flaws from places he didn't expect at all, but also gave the exact motives...
Pokerface, thanks to this habit, even if Kudo Shinichi found a flaw and hit a precise blow, Kuroba Kaito didn't let the inner wavering show on his face, closed his eyes and shrugged, and said in a drawn out voice, "That's not it Well——" When I opened my eyes again, I had already adjusted my state, with a frank and innocent expression: "I just forgot to use it. Yesterday was the first time I publicly held a performance of this scale. How could it be the first time? Just be prepared.”
Kudo blinked slowly: "I see."
Before the detective could say the next sentence, the omega magician had turned his defense into an offensive, showing a narrow smile: "Speaking of which, Kudo-kun only met me today, and he didn't say ten words, except for talking about my information. For private topics such as element and partition agent, there is only the old-fashioned strike-up of 'where have I met before'. Enthusiasm is good, but this kind of pursuit will be hated by people~"
"Wh-!" Kudo Shinichi, a polite, conservative and innocent alpha, was caught off guard and was molested, immediately lost his detective airs, even blushed, and repeatedly denied, "No, wait, what you said just now is not The meaning of pursuit! I just—"
Kuroba quickly fought, and made an inch of it. Dapeng spread his wings on the edge of being beaten, and even leaned forward, forcing Kudo Shinichi to take half a step back: "Really? Obviously, as soon as you entered the door, I felt a super Is there a fiery gaze?"
"That's just observing..." Kudo Shinichi couldn't help it when his eyes were noticed, and he simply confessed, "I'm really interested in you, on the level of being a detective."
"Hey, that's how it is." Hearing what he said, the vicious magician stood up straight, put away his joking attitude, and showed a helpless expression, "That's why you doubt me about the smell blocker, detective This kind of existence is too much—"
"I was rude just now, I'm sorry." Kudo stopped the other party's complaints with a sincere apology, and then mentioned it in a relaxed tone, "Someone once told me that a detective is a critic who likes to find fault. In a sense It’s true—when flaws and violations appear in front of my eyes, it’s easy to lose control of myself and want to point them out.”
Please excuse me.Saying that, Kudo shrugged his shoulders, and Kuroba giggled as if he felt happy about it from the bottom of his heart.
"That person's description hits the nail on the head...Then the critic, Kudo-kun, is it my magic show that I'm going to criticize this time?" Kaito Kuroba raised his left hand to show that it was empty, and turned to Kudo. Walk sideways.He stretched out his hand to grab it in the void, and a card with small characters appeared between his fingers.The magician slowly pushed the card into Kudo Shinichi's jacket pocket on the left chest with his left index finger, then smiled and patted on the pocket, "Please accept the VIP seat ticket exclusive to Jiang Gutian Student Union. Let's go, just take it as a warm return to Mr. Alpha."
The mischievous left hand was clasped by Kudo in front of his chest, and they maintained the posture of passing each other, turning their heads to look at each other, looking a little ambiguous.And this misleading atmosphere, like flirting, was broken by the detective's calm words as always: "Kuroba-kun, I don't seem to have mentioned my second gender before."
"Lucky~" Hei Yu grinned, and the tone at the end of the sentence turned upwards, "I guessed it casually, with a 50% chance, it seems that I guessed it right."
His left wrist twisted and twisted with incredible flexibility, and it slipped out of Kudo Shinichi's grasp.The magician stepped back towards the stage lightly, and at the same time gave an exaggerated bow to the detective——I have to help with the stage layout, excuse me!Kuroba retreated behind the scenes after saying so.
"Just now, I always felt that between Shinichi and Heiyu-kun, there was an aura that couldn't get in the way..." Mao Lilan said with emotion.
"I always feel that Kaidou-kun's aura just now is stronger than usual, is it an illusion..." Jiang Gutian's melon-eating crowd sighed with emotion.
After watching the whole process, Suzuki Sonoko, a cp party who regarded Xinlan as a real RPS, pondered for a long time with a serious face, and came up with a three-word evaluation: "Fox spirit."
At this moment, Eguda's junior, Matsushima Man, whom they had just met yesterday, suddenly rushed in out of breath, and shouted in panic: "It's not good, Senior Kuroba, the school gate——! Huh, hoh, it's those people from yesterday." People, making trouble at the school gate, calling for you by name! Senior Nakamori is confronting them, but I'm afraid..."
"What?!" Everyone present was startled, Kuroba Kaito's face suddenly darkened, and he ran out without saying a word.Kudo Shinichi also reacted immediately, and the figures of the two disappeared one after another at the exit of the auditorium, and the rest of the people woke up like a dream: "Let's go and see quickly!" "Dare to come in broad daylight!" There is trouble in our school, we have to let them remember!" They also set off to support them.
The two teenagers ran through the crowd like a breeze, and ran across the campus.Even so, it took more than three minutes to arrive near the school gate, and there was already a bustling crowd of onlookers around. In the gap between them, Kaito Kuroba was able to see the most central scene from a distance——
Brochures were scattered all over the floor in a mess, and the ones who stepped on them were those punks from yesterday, with one hand akimbo and the other holding a broom as a weapon. They were a head shorter than the other party, but they were puffing up like a small animal with fried fur. The girl who yelled loudly in front of the group of punks.
It was the girl who handed her the program list at the school gate. She had fallen marks on her body, more than one - Kudo noticed while running.And he didn't need to reason about how the traces came from, those unscrupulous teenagers laughed like cats playing with mice, and pushed her backwards with a simple push.
"Get out of the way!"
There was an angry shout, accompanied by the sound of piercing through the sky.A thing the size of a baseball passed through the crowd and smashed hard on the bad forehead of the person who pushed the person—it was a compressed ribbon ball used in magic. It usually has quite good hardness and density. The person who was attacked said "Ouch" He fell to the ground, and the "murder weapon" exploded with a "poof" immediately after being hit, and festive ribbons scattered all over the punks.
Aoko Nakamori fell backwards into her arms this time, and Kaito Kuroba dangerously caught her from behind in a half-kneeling position.She opened her eyes wide and looked up. Her childhood sweetheart, who had always been foolish, narrowed her eyes dangerously, frowned, and looked directly at the group of delinquents who came to find fault, and said coldly, "Look at me, what's your business."
"Yo, the Lord is here!" The group of people laughed with utter malice, and slowly approached him.
"Let's wait for a while. I'm almost tired of beating this girl. I thought you were too scared to run away—you ran very fast yesterday!"
"Thank you for taking care of me yesterday, and today I prepared a big gift, please accept it, hahaha!"
Kuroba Kaito's hand quietly slipped into one side pocket.
"Hey, what did 'Da Li' say?" His movements were interrupted by a cool voice.The owner of the voice took steady and powerful steps, walked in front of him without haste, stood still, with an awe-inspiring back, protecting him and the girl in his arms.
Aoko Nakamori blinked his eyes puzzled. Kaito's angry expression is very rare, but what is even more incredible is that after the boy who just met for the first time today stood up, Kaito's shoulders relaxed and his brows frowned. It also gradually stretched out.
——I can’t help it, so I’ll leave it to you.The attitude comes through in the body language.
Kudo Shinichi stood in front of them, holding the mobile phone with one hand, and the screen displayed "Connected": "Please also explain to the police officer on the other side of the phone, or tell him in person - the police are already on the way." On the way."
"Meddle in your own business! Besides, where would the police be so idle that they would be dispatched just to fight a small fight between students? It's just a misunderstanding—a misunderstanding, do you understand?"
"Wait, I seem to have seen it on the news, could he be that high school student detective from Di Dan..."
"...Tch, you can really call the police..."
The little bastards were unexpectedly straightforward in giving up, and they directly shouted to quit, then let you go first, and retreated outside the campus.When Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and other stage helpers arrived, they happened to witness the scene of them retreating, and one of them laughed loudly before leaving: "Don't think it's over, you magic boy! Call the police, let your detective friend call the ambulance first!"
"...Going back just like this...Really, what are you doing here, those scoundrels!" Qingzi complained angrily, turning into an aggrieved QAQ while talking, and the tears she had endured for a long time finally fell .
Reluctantly, Kaito took out a handkerchief and handed it to her: "Hey, hey, he looked very strong just now, but now he's showing his true colors?"
"Because it really hurts!" Ms. Aoko Nakamori, who has never learned murder karate or aikido, is completely an omega-style cute girl with fried hair, crying and said, being pushed to the ground continuously This kind of thing is not something a cutie should bear.
"...If you know it hurts, don't push yourself up every time, idiot Qingzi."
"Because Qingzi is already a senior in high school, those guys want to come and destroy our school festival, how can they not stand up!"
Kaito sighed for a long time, his expression softened, and he rubbed the top of the girl's hair as if you, an intermittently stubborn kid, couldn't help it: "Can you stand up, I'll take you to the infirmary."
I'm afraid it's because she got up, stood up straight, and yelled at the other party for doing something wrong that she was selected as the bullying target-but even if she said that, she might not choose "smart" next time Let's do it.Oh, after all, this is a girl who can hold a big sign against Kidd and shout for Dad to cheer up in the overwhelming "Kidd call"... Once the "correct" thing is recognized, no one will Farah is back.
While helping the girl from his childhood up, Kaito Kuroba glanced at Shinichi Kudo.The detective didn't know what he had noticed, and he had been standing there thinking about it since just now.
The purpose of these gangsters who came to make trouble is definitely not that simple.
Because two people are missing.Lan noticed that the two people who entered Jiang Gutian early in the morning seemed to be enjoying the school festival - the "boss" of the delinquent boy, and a thin and small younger brother called "Sanfang", they did not appear At the school gate.If you make an appointment to hold a group to find fault, the absence of the boss is too unreasonable.And when the little gangster at the door gave up on finding fault, turned around and left, it was too straightforward.
Speaking of which, who was that woman who appeared in Jiang Gutian together with the "boss" and Sanfang, and what role did she play?
In any case, their goal is clear-Kaito Kuroba, this group of people should be aiming at him.
Kudo Shinichi already had several guesses in his mind. He turned around and wanted to confirm some things, but unexpectedly saw that the person who was helping Aoko Nakamori to the infirmary was not Kaito Kuroba, but Ekoda Student Union whom he had met before. a member of.He was startled.
"Lan, where's Kuroba!"
Ran was taken aback by Kudo's instantly anxious expression, and pointed to the side with some hesitation: "As for Kuroba-kun, a girl came to him just now and said that she had something very important to say...ah, yes! It's that girl, Shinichi, the girl who walked with those two delinquents today!"
Kudo looked in the direction Ran was pointing at and heaved a sigh of relief. Kaito Kuroba was still within his line of sight, safe and sound.Kuroba was standing at the edge of the crowd, and the girl in Konan High School uniform was whispering something to him.Kudo squeezed through the crowd and approached that side, the detective instinct made him pay close attention to the so-called "very important words", but halfway through, the expression on Kuroba's face made him stop involuntarily.
It was something he had never seen on the face of Kaito Kuroba, whom he had just known for less than an hour, or the face of Kaito Kidd, who might be related to him. Scale-like, with an angry expression.
Kudo only hesitated for a moment, then Kuroba left the girl and ran away at a fast speed.Kudo Shin instinctively squeezed out of the crowd and chased after him, but the distance had already been opened.Kuroba's destination was very clear. He went straight to the stage for the magic show built on the playground, but he didn't go through the entrance of the auditorium, but went around directly to the gate leading to the backstage from the side.The little boy named Sanfang was standing under a tree beside him smoking a cigarette. When he saw them rushing forward one after the other, he looked a little scared and looked away.Shin Kudo watched Kuroba Kaito slam the door open, and the hem of the black tuxedo disappeared at the backstage entrance.While chasing forward, Sanfang also walked towards the entrance of the backstage with a tough look.
The moment he reached the door, Sanfang let out a terrified scream and fell backwards.
"No, it's not good! Killed!!"
"what?!"
Kudo Shinichi stopped at the door in a hurry.The time was 2:10 in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the lights were turned on in the backstage, illuminating everything inside clearly——
The "boss" of the delinquent boy was lying on his back on the ground, with his head resting on the magic item box, his eyes were wide open, his skin was the gray-blue color of the dead, blood was splashed on the box and the tall sink beside it.Kuroba Kaito is leaning over, with a white glove in his mouth, his left hand is naked and strangled around the neck of the deceased, and his right hand is holding a large white cloth stained with blood (is it a tablecloth? A cloak? It doesn’t matter, you can It is confirmed that this is a tool used to hide the body), half of which is covering the dead body.A magician's staff rolled down at his feet.
This is the scene that Kudo Shinichi froze in his eyes when he arrived.
Hei Yu looked at them in shock, but he regained his composure at a speed visible to the naked eye, let go of the dead man's neck, slowly stood up straight, took off the glove from between his teeth, and calmed down. Put it back on.The blood-stained white cloak floated from his fingertips and fell softly on the corpse at his feet.
"You're late, Kudo-kun."
He said this with a clearness, or a calm attitude that did not match the murder scene-if he was not completely innocent, he would be a genius criminal who would not repent for his crimes at all.
Compared with the patrolling police who dealt with the riots caused by delinquent teenagers, the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section [-] arrived at the scene faster.The supposedly most dazzling stage of Jiang Gutian University turned into a murder scene. The news quickly spread among the students, but the cordon of the keepout kept everyone on the outside, and only the police and the people behind the incident remained in the inner circle. directly related.
Backstage, police officer Takagi had just finished the preliminary investigation. Hui reported: "Judging from the victim's student ID card, the victim's name was Amano Tsunao, a third-year student at Konan High School, 18 years old, male alpha. The cause of death was the back of the brain. He was hit hard and died on the spot, and the presumed time of death was within 10 minutes."
The Mumu Police Department nodded and asked, "Where's the murder weapon?"
"This..." Takagi turned his head to look at the cane on the ground. It is about 120cm long. The body of the cane is made of solid wood painted with black paint. The top is thick and the bottom is thin. It was hard, but there was no blood stain on it. "Actually, I think this cane is suspicious, so it rolled down next to the corpse. Although I didn't see any blood stains, I have already asked forensic personnel to do blood and fingerprint identification."
"Okay. Then, before the forensics results come out, let's ask about the case." Mumu Police Department came out of the crime scene and looked at the three boys who were waiting at the door——
The person who led the call was Artificial Teng Shinichi, who was very obedient this time and did not run around the scene, but waited outside in order not to disturb the forensic personnel.The person next to Kudo was wearing casual clothes, thin and small, as if he was hiding behind Kudo and keeping a distance from the third person—the third person who was being guarded would be misunderstood at first glance. Kudo Shinichi's twin brother, wearing rather eye-catching costumes, stood a little far away, with his hands in his pockets, as if he had nothing to do with himself.
"...Why are there always detectives at the scene of the crime?" Mu Mu Police Department couldn't hold back, and whispered something.
Takagi smoothed things out with a "ah ha ha ha": "At least this time, Mr. Conan and Mori, who were almost full attendance in the past, are not here. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Conan recently..."
Kudo coughed in time, interrupting the somewhat dangerous topic.
"Then let's get down to business, Kudo-kun, why did you get involved in the murder here? Isn't Tedan High School a few blocks away from here?"
"I was invited by Lanhe Sonoko to watch Kuroba-kun's magic show." Kudo raised his hand and gestured to the side.Hearing this, the magician known as Kuroba smiled and bowed, drawing a large and graceful arc in the air with his right hand, and introduced himself: "I am the star of this magic show, Kaito Kuroba, please give me your advice. "
Pretentiously, Kudo gave these four-character comments in his heart, and then continued: "At about 13:30, Lan and I saw the victim on campus. He was walking with this Mr. Mikata and a lady. together."
The person who huddled beside Kudo said, "Yes, my name is Mikata Osamu, and I'm Tsunao's classmate. I came to Ekoda's school festival with him and his girlfriend Yuko Kawauchi today... ..."
Police officer Megure looked around, wondering, "So where is Yuko Kawauchi now? She should also be involved in the incident, didn't you bring her, Kudo-kun?"
Kudo shook his head: "I couldn't find her in the school. After I found the body, I immediately called the police, and then asked Lan and Jiang Gutian from the student union to block the exit of the campus, but the news that someone died in the backstage of the stage spread, There was a riot among the students. Someone saw Ms. Kawauchi leaving in panic during the riot, and I have already asked the nearby patrol police to find her whereabouts.”
The Mumu Police Department pondered: "Well...so that's the case. The boyfriend fled the scene in panic after being killed. It's quite suspicious. I'm afraid she is the murderer. Takagi, we will also send some people to assist the local police. Be sure to arrest Kawachi as soon as possible. Bring Xizi here!"
"Stop joking, Police Department!" Sanfang Xiu yelled in disbelief, "Isn't that guy more suspicious than Xizi! I saw it with my own eyes. He was standing next to Tsuna, pinching Tsuna with one hand. Straight neck, and in the other hand is holding a white cloth that covers half of Tsuna's body—you must have seen it, Mister Detective!"
"What?!" Megure and Takagi's eyes followed Mikata Osamu's hand and landed on Kuroba he was pointing at. Kuroba just smiled and blinked, without speaking.The two police officers looked at Kudo Shinichi again: "Is this true, Kudo-kun? Could it be that you witnessed the crime scene?!"
Kudo Shinichi's eyes fell on Kuroba Kaito, quite calm, with a sense of rational inquiry: "...the witness testimony of the three parties is not lying."
Kaito Kuroba raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then met the sharp gaze of the two police officers, "You are the murderer, right?" This kind of gaze of preparing to arrest people has long been used to when molesting the Nakamori Police Department. ——Replied in a relaxed tone like talking about the weather: "Ah, speaking of it... this scene was indeed seen. But I didn't kill people."
"Hey, you have admitted that you were witnessed strangling the neck of the deceased and hiding the corpse, do you still want to deny—"
"Please wait a moment, Officer Takagi." Kudo Shinichi interrupted, "You misunderstood, 'witness testimony does not lie' does not mean 'what you see is true'. The cause of death of the victim was a blunt object hitting the back of the head , instead of suffocation, and there is no pinch mark on the neck, and Kuroba-kun deliberately took off the glove on his left hand at that time. If he wanted to harm Amano Tsunao, it would be very unnatural to take off the glove. The three parties witnessed, And the scene that I misunderstood—Kuroba-kun, you were touching the victim's carotid artery to confirm whether he was alive or dead, right?"
Kaito Kuroba was bewildered for a moment, then shrugged and smiled: "Yes, when I rushed to the backstage, I saw a strangely shaped white cloth next to the water tank. People. Then, as Kudo-kun said, I took off a glove in order not to interfere with the sense of touch, and checked his pulse... At that time, the person was dead, and the skin was still soft, and I could feel the residual warmth , I think he must have died not long ago."
Meguro Police Department nodded, this is an acceptable explanation: "By the way, when did you find the victim?"
"It's around 14:10 in the afternoon."
Officer Takagi made a note in the police handbook, and then turned his head to talk with Megure Police Department. Kaito Kuroba didn't pay attention to their conversation, but let his attention quietly fall on Kudo who was discussing something with the police officer Shinichi.
[The eyewitness testimony of the three parties did not lie], this sentence may be intentional.This well-known detective with a discerning eye has obviously seen through the truth of the eyewitness testimony, and indeed revealed the truth afterwards, but first sold it off with misleading language, making a "default murderer is Kuroba Kaito" attitude.
He is testing himself.And I really accidentally got caught——
He showed a surprised expression of "you're actually doubting me".
It is not a strange thing to be suspected by detectives who witnessed quite misleading scenes, and did act suspiciously, but—"According to your level, you can definitely see through", "I won't do this That kind of thing, you know", it feels unbelievable when you are really suspicious.The logic behind this expression is absolute trust.
Thus formed a tiny flaw.
Can such trust be generated between strangers who have only known each other for less than an hour?
...Although the famous detective probably just swindled casually, but the point of being swindled is really uncomfortable.
"...We came to this magic stage on the playground at about 13:40, met Kuroba Kaito here, and chatted with him for a while. During that time, Kuroba and other students from the student council came and went After the backstage, I asked, and no one saw the deceased in the backstage." Kudo Shinichi was continuing to introduce the timeline of the case, when he suddenly felt a bad sight, he turned his head and looked to the side, facing the Kuroba Kaito's innocent poker face, the latter smiled and then took the initiative to look away.
"?" Kudo was a little dazed, but still looked away, and continued, "Around 13:55, Matsushima Man came to inform us that there was a group of gangsters making trouble at the school gate. Kuroba and I went to the school gate first, and the others People followed one after another. After the incident was resolved, I saw what Ms. Kawauchi said to Kuroba at the school gate, and Kuroba rushed back to the backstage immediately, found the body, and was witnessed by me and three parties... that is to say, it may be The crime time is from 13:55 to 14:10, within 15 minutes."
"So that's it." Police officer Mumu nodded to express his understanding, "Then let's confirm the alibi, Mr. Sanfang, tell me first—from the riot at the school gate to the time you found the body, what have you been doing? "
San Fangxiu scratched his head, showing a distressed expression of remembering something: "Master Police Department, I'm sorry, I can't remember the time so clearly like the detective brother, and I can't tell the number... But when the riot happened, I On the playground, Tsunade and Xizi were also there, and together we saw a group of people running out of the stage and rushing towards the school gate. Then, um..." His eyes shifted slightly in embarrassment, "Then Tsuna I said I had some things to do, so I went to the backstage alone, Xizi went to the teaching building, and I waited under the tree at the door of the backstage to wait for Gangzhi to come out. I don’t know how long I waited, but I remembered smoking two or three Yan, and then I saw Hei Yu running over with a terrifying expression on his face like he was about to kill someone, and he pushed open the door and rushed into the backstage. I thought, it's over, the beam that was formed yesterday, he might have to fight with Tsunade I got up, and went to the door to persuade a fight—and then everyone knew what I saw."
Officer Megure confirmed: "It means that you have been guarding the door during the time period when the crime was likely to be committed. You did not see the victim come out, nor did you see anyone other than Kuroba Kaito enter, right?"
The three parties nodded yes.
Police officer Meguro continued to confirm: "Can someone prove that you have been staying under the tree and have not entered the backstage?"
Sanfang shrugged and said, "I guess no one saw it... But I really didn't go in. As soon as Gangzhi entered the backstage, he closed the door."
Officer Meguro frowned, still asking Mikata Osamu, but his eyes fell on Kaito Kuroba beside him: "What's the matter with the 'beam formed yesterday'?"
The three parties showed embarrassing expressions. What is more depressing than being a delinquent boy who has to obediently admit to the police that the robbery was attempted?Under the righteous gaze of the police department, this delinquent boy first deeply repented that he should not be a delinquent, should not smoke, should study hard every day and not be rebellious. Save the beauty, use the omega pheromone to tease and run away, and the escape technique is so superb, the story of finding no one after climbing over the wall and escaping, and vividly described the bad boy boss Amano Tsunao With a shoe print, I was so angry that I swore that I would kill this Kuroba to death.
Police Officer Takagi was amazed—this story could have been published directly on the headline "Heroic Omega Guy Fights Misguided Alpha Bad Group", and of course must be accompanied by a sentence "Dangerous operation, please do not imitate".However, this kind of brave behavior has now become a proof of the enmity between the two, and he sighed with some regret: "It seems that there is a motive."
The heroic boy Kaito Kuroba looked disgusted: "Can this be used as a motive?"
Officer Takagi made a puzzled voice: "Why can't it be used as a motive? You just fought each other yesterday. Since there is a history of discord in this relationship..."
Kuroba Kaito made a stupid expression on his face: "If I play it off, I may have a motive for killing, but I won the victory perfectly, and I played them hard. One uses face-stomping and pheromone The guy who can be solved, why bother to kill him?"
In this way, treating the victim as a rookie who can be solved easily, he made a shocking statement like a black and evil force.
Officer Takagi revealed his peasy eyes: "Say, what you said is also..."
The Mumu Police Department coughed in disbelief: "Kuroyu-kun, your alibi...although there shouldn't be any, you should tell me about it."
"What, since you know if you don't have it, there's no need to say it." Kaito Kuroba showed a headache, and sighed, "I and Kudo were the first to rush to the school gate, and the others left after that. On the stage, until I returned to the backstage, Kudo-kun was watching me carefully—it’s a pity that he came too late to be an alibi witness for the rest of the time. In short, I No one can help me prove what happened after I entered the backstage. Of course, the police department can say that I did it. But..."
The well-dressed magician spread his hands, showing off his white gloves, then stretched the neckline of the dress with a smile, and lifted one side of the dress jacket, revealing the elegant little vest and white shirt underneath.The waistline is slender, the fabric is ironed, quite photogenic and eye-catching, and most importantly, there are no suspicious red marks.
"I can spend no more than 1 minute alone in the background. I have to meet the victim, make a decision to kill him, actually do it, pretend to check his life and death to exonerate myself, and there is no splash on my body when the victim was killed. There are too many bloodstains... there are too many things to do."
Megure Police Department narrowed its eyes unmoved.Anyway, he is also an old police officer who has handled quite a few murder cases, and he has noticed the sense of incongruity in these narratives, like a missing gear in a precision instrument—whether it is Mikata Osamu, Kuroba Kaito, or even Kudo Shinichi, They deliberately did not mention the person who was briefly dealt with in the testimony.
Kawauchi Yuko.
According to San Fangxiu's testimony, she had never entered the backstage, so she should not be suspected of murder, but she must have played some key role, otherwise it would be unjustifiable to flee the scene in panic after the crime happened.After Kuroba Kaito talked with her, he rushed straight to the backstage of the magic stage with "a terrifying expression on his face that looked like he was about to kill someone". Probably also noticed--
"Not necessarily, Kuroba-kun." Police Officer Mumu said in a deep voice, "You should have already done the matter of 'making the decision to kill the victim' on the way to the backstage."
The expression on Kuroba Kaito's face was fixed at a perfect and
This kind of most elementary probing language should have made Kuroba Kaito feel unmoved and even a little bit laughing-if you are talking about this face, you probably saw it in the mirror-but Kudo Shinichi When asking this question, he raised his right hand and sniffed the scent of his fingertips.
So explicit...!But it is indeed the most direct way of confirmation - pheromones are specific, if the cold fragrance of Kaito Kidd's rose was on them when they shook hands just now, Kuroba Kaito is already GG.Although the memory of the alpha in the susceptibility period will become blurred when the gun is misfired, the pheromone smell of the combined omega will never be forgotten.
Fortunately, Mr. Phantom Thief also knew that this place was the dead spot, and he had already prepared for it.
"No, today is the first time we met." Kuroba replied with a smile.Kudo didn't respond to this sentence, he lowered his eyes and thought about something from just now, Kuroba narrowed his eyes slightly as if pleased with this: "Look at this expression, you seem to smell something, Kudo-kun."
"...the smell of the ocean, and green tea and citrus." Kudo raised his eyes without showing a troubled expression, "This is not your pheromone."
"Correct answer~" Kuroba grinningly snapped his fingers, with a congratulatory wink, "It's just a male fragrance that I often use. Kudo-kun may not be clear, in a performance where there are many people, the leading role of non-beta In order to avoid emergencies, odor blockers are often used: the outside world can’t smell my smell, and the outside world’s pheromones can’t pass through—it’s better than inhibitors in special cases.”
"Well, I've heard of this habit. But..." Kudo raised one eyebrow, "You didn't use it yesterday, did you. It's impossible for people who have used omega pheromones to use omega pheromones to deal with alpha punks." provocative."
Kuroba blinked his eyes in surprise: "Did Matsushima say all of this...it's true that he didn't, what's wrong?"
"It's a bit strange. Yesterday's performance was one more than today's. Why did it not work yesterday? Instead, it used an odor blocker today? Could it be..." Since the meeting, Kudo Shinichi's face was the first time A smile appeared, but Kaito Kuroba shuddered, "Today, are you going to meet someone who absolutely cannot let him smell his pheromone scent?"
That's right, Kuroba Kaito didn't have the habit of using odor blocking agents in the past.As expected...too perceptive, this guy not only dug out flaws from places he didn't expect at all, but also gave the exact motives...
Pokerface, thanks to this habit, even if Kudo Shinichi found a flaw and hit a precise blow, Kuroba Kaito didn't let the inner wavering show on his face, closed his eyes and shrugged, and said in a drawn out voice, "That's not it Well——" When I opened my eyes again, I had already adjusted my state, with a frank and innocent expression: "I just forgot to use it. Yesterday was the first time I publicly held a performance of this scale. How could it be the first time? Just be prepared.”
Kudo blinked slowly: "I see."
Before the detective could say the next sentence, the omega magician had turned his defense into an offensive, showing a narrow smile: "Speaking of which, Kudo-kun only met me today, and he didn't say ten words, except for talking about my information. For private topics such as element and partition agent, there is only the old-fashioned strike-up of 'where have I met before'. Enthusiasm is good, but this kind of pursuit will be hated by people~"
"Wh-!" Kudo Shinichi, a polite, conservative and innocent alpha, was caught off guard and was molested, immediately lost his detective airs, even blushed, and repeatedly denied, "No, wait, what you said just now is not The meaning of pursuit! I just—"
Kuroba quickly fought, and made an inch of it. Dapeng spread his wings on the edge of being beaten, and even leaned forward, forcing Kudo Shinichi to take half a step back: "Really? Obviously, as soon as you entered the door, I felt a super Is there a fiery gaze?"
"That's just observing..." Kudo Shinichi couldn't help it when his eyes were noticed, and he simply confessed, "I'm really interested in you, on the level of being a detective."
"Hey, that's how it is." Hearing what he said, the vicious magician stood up straight, put away his joking attitude, and showed a helpless expression, "That's why you doubt me about the smell blocker, detective This kind of existence is too much—"
"I was rude just now, I'm sorry." Kudo stopped the other party's complaints with a sincere apology, and then mentioned it in a relaxed tone, "Someone once told me that a detective is a critic who likes to find fault. In a sense It’s true—when flaws and violations appear in front of my eyes, it’s easy to lose control of myself and want to point them out.”
Please excuse me.Saying that, Kudo shrugged his shoulders, and Kuroba giggled as if he felt happy about it from the bottom of his heart.
"That person's description hits the nail on the head...Then the critic, Kudo-kun, is it my magic show that I'm going to criticize this time?" Kaito Kuroba raised his left hand to show that it was empty, and turned to Kudo. Walk sideways.He stretched out his hand to grab it in the void, and a card with small characters appeared between his fingers.The magician slowly pushed the card into Kudo Shinichi's jacket pocket on the left chest with his left index finger, then smiled and patted on the pocket, "Please accept the VIP seat ticket exclusive to Jiang Gutian Student Union. Let's go, just take it as a warm return to Mr. Alpha."
The mischievous left hand was clasped by Kudo in front of his chest, and they maintained the posture of passing each other, turning their heads to look at each other, looking a little ambiguous.And this misleading atmosphere, like flirting, was broken by the detective's calm words as always: "Kuroba-kun, I don't seem to have mentioned my second gender before."
"Lucky~" Hei Yu grinned, and the tone at the end of the sentence turned upwards, "I guessed it casually, with a 50% chance, it seems that I guessed it right."
His left wrist twisted and twisted with incredible flexibility, and it slipped out of Kudo Shinichi's grasp.The magician stepped back towards the stage lightly, and at the same time gave an exaggerated bow to the detective——I have to help with the stage layout, excuse me!Kuroba retreated behind the scenes after saying so.
"Just now, I always felt that between Shinichi and Heiyu-kun, there was an aura that couldn't get in the way..." Mao Lilan said with emotion.
"I always feel that Kaidou-kun's aura just now is stronger than usual, is it an illusion..." Jiang Gutian's melon-eating crowd sighed with emotion.
After watching the whole process, Suzuki Sonoko, a cp party who regarded Xinlan as a real RPS, pondered for a long time with a serious face, and came up with a three-word evaluation: "Fox spirit."
At this moment, Eguda's junior, Matsushima Man, whom they had just met yesterday, suddenly rushed in out of breath, and shouted in panic: "It's not good, Senior Kuroba, the school gate——! Huh, hoh, it's those people from yesterday." People, making trouble at the school gate, calling for you by name! Senior Nakamori is confronting them, but I'm afraid..."
"What?!" Everyone present was startled, Kuroba Kaito's face suddenly darkened, and he ran out without saying a word.Kudo Shinichi also reacted immediately, and the figures of the two disappeared one after another at the exit of the auditorium, and the rest of the people woke up like a dream: "Let's go and see quickly!" "Dare to come in broad daylight!" There is trouble in our school, we have to let them remember!" They also set off to support them.
The two teenagers ran through the crowd like a breeze, and ran across the campus.Even so, it took more than three minutes to arrive near the school gate, and there was already a bustling crowd of onlookers around. In the gap between them, Kaito Kuroba was able to see the most central scene from a distance——
Brochures were scattered all over the floor in a mess, and the ones who stepped on them were those punks from yesterday, with one hand akimbo and the other holding a broom as a weapon. They were a head shorter than the other party, but they were puffing up like a small animal with fried fur. The girl who yelled loudly in front of the group of punks.
It was the girl who handed her the program list at the school gate. She had fallen marks on her body, more than one - Kudo noticed while running.And he didn't need to reason about how the traces came from, those unscrupulous teenagers laughed like cats playing with mice, and pushed her backwards with a simple push.
"Get out of the way!"
There was an angry shout, accompanied by the sound of piercing through the sky.A thing the size of a baseball passed through the crowd and smashed hard on the bad forehead of the person who pushed the person—it was a compressed ribbon ball used in magic. It usually has quite good hardness and density. The person who was attacked said "Ouch" He fell to the ground, and the "murder weapon" exploded with a "poof" immediately after being hit, and festive ribbons scattered all over the punks.
Aoko Nakamori fell backwards into her arms this time, and Kaito Kuroba dangerously caught her from behind in a half-kneeling position.She opened her eyes wide and looked up. Her childhood sweetheart, who had always been foolish, narrowed her eyes dangerously, frowned, and looked directly at the group of delinquents who came to find fault, and said coldly, "Look at me, what's your business."
"Yo, the Lord is here!" The group of people laughed with utter malice, and slowly approached him.
"Let's wait for a while. I'm almost tired of beating this girl. I thought you were too scared to run away—you ran very fast yesterday!"
"Thank you for taking care of me yesterday, and today I prepared a big gift, please accept it, hahaha!"
Kuroba Kaito's hand quietly slipped into one side pocket.
"Hey, what did 'Da Li' say?" His movements were interrupted by a cool voice.The owner of the voice took steady and powerful steps, walked in front of him without haste, stood still, with an awe-inspiring back, protecting him and the girl in his arms.
Aoko Nakamori blinked his eyes puzzled. Kaito's angry expression is very rare, but what is even more incredible is that after the boy who just met for the first time today stood up, Kaito's shoulders relaxed and his brows frowned. It also gradually stretched out.
——I can’t help it, so I’ll leave it to you.The attitude comes through in the body language.
Kudo Shinichi stood in front of them, holding the mobile phone with one hand, and the screen displayed "Connected": "Please also explain to the police officer on the other side of the phone, or tell him in person - the police are already on the way." On the way."
"Meddle in your own business! Besides, where would the police be so idle that they would be dispatched just to fight a small fight between students? It's just a misunderstanding—a misunderstanding, do you understand?"
"Wait, I seem to have seen it on the news, could he be that high school student detective from Di Dan..."
"...Tch, you can really call the police..."
The little bastards were unexpectedly straightforward in giving up, and they directly shouted to quit, then let you go first, and retreated outside the campus.When Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and other stage helpers arrived, they happened to witness the scene of them retreating, and one of them laughed loudly before leaving: "Don't think it's over, you magic boy! Call the police, let your detective friend call the ambulance first!"
"...Going back just like this...Really, what are you doing here, those scoundrels!" Qingzi complained angrily, turning into an aggrieved QAQ while talking, and the tears she had endured for a long time finally fell .
Reluctantly, Kaito took out a handkerchief and handed it to her: "Hey, hey, he looked very strong just now, but now he's showing his true colors?"
"Because it really hurts!" Ms. Aoko Nakamori, who has never learned murder karate or aikido, is completely an omega-style cute girl with fried hair, crying and said, being pushed to the ground continuously This kind of thing is not something a cutie should bear.
"...If you know it hurts, don't push yourself up every time, idiot Qingzi."
"Because Qingzi is already a senior in high school, those guys want to come and destroy our school festival, how can they not stand up!"
Kaito sighed for a long time, his expression softened, and he rubbed the top of the girl's hair as if you, an intermittently stubborn kid, couldn't help it: "Can you stand up, I'll take you to the infirmary."
I'm afraid it's because she got up, stood up straight, and yelled at the other party for doing something wrong that she was selected as the bullying target-but even if she said that, she might not choose "smart" next time Let's do it.Oh, after all, this is a girl who can hold a big sign against Kidd and shout for Dad to cheer up in the overwhelming "Kidd call"... Once the "correct" thing is recognized, no one will Farah is back.
While helping the girl from his childhood up, Kaito Kuroba glanced at Shinichi Kudo.The detective didn't know what he had noticed, and he had been standing there thinking about it since just now.
The purpose of these gangsters who came to make trouble is definitely not that simple.
Because two people are missing.Lan noticed that the two people who entered Jiang Gutian early in the morning seemed to be enjoying the school festival - the "boss" of the delinquent boy, and a thin and small younger brother called "Sanfang", they did not appear At the school gate.If you make an appointment to hold a group to find fault, the absence of the boss is too unreasonable.And when the little gangster at the door gave up on finding fault, turned around and left, it was too straightforward.
Speaking of which, who was that woman who appeared in Jiang Gutian together with the "boss" and Sanfang, and what role did she play?
In any case, their goal is clear-Kaito Kuroba, this group of people should be aiming at him.
Kudo Shinichi already had several guesses in his mind. He turned around and wanted to confirm some things, but unexpectedly saw that the person who was helping Aoko Nakamori to the infirmary was not Kaito Kuroba, but Ekoda Student Union whom he had met before. a member of.He was startled.
"Lan, where's Kuroba!"
Ran was taken aback by Kudo's instantly anxious expression, and pointed to the side with some hesitation: "As for Kuroba-kun, a girl came to him just now and said that she had something very important to say...ah, yes! It's that girl, Shinichi, the girl who walked with those two delinquents today!"
Kudo looked in the direction Ran was pointing at and heaved a sigh of relief. Kaito Kuroba was still within his line of sight, safe and sound.Kuroba was standing at the edge of the crowd, and the girl in Konan High School uniform was whispering something to him.Kudo squeezed through the crowd and approached that side, the detective instinct made him pay close attention to the so-called "very important words", but halfway through, the expression on Kuroba's face made him stop involuntarily.
It was something he had never seen on the face of Kaito Kuroba, whom he had just known for less than an hour, or the face of Kaito Kidd, who might be related to him. Scale-like, with an angry expression.
Kudo only hesitated for a moment, then Kuroba left the girl and ran away at a fast speed.Kudo Shin instinctively squeezed out of the crowd and chased after him, but the distance had already been opened.Kuroba's destination was very clear. He went straight to the stage for the magic show built on the playground, but he didn't go through the entrance of the auditorium, but went around directly to the gate leading to the backstage from the side.The little boy named Sanfang was standing under a tree beside him smoking a cigarette. When he saw them rushing forward one after the other, he looked a little scared and looked away.Shin Kudo watched Kuroba Kaito slam the door open, and the hem of the black tuxedo disappeared at the backstage entrance.While chasing forward, Sanfang also walked towards the entrance of the backstage with a tough look.
The moment he reached the door, Sanfang let out a terrified scream and fell backwards.
"No, it's not good! Killed!!"
"what?!"
Kudo Shinichi stopped at the door in a hurry.The time was 2:10 in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the lights were turned on in the backstage, illuminating everything inside clearly——
The "boss" of the delinquent boy was lying on his back on the ground, with his head resting on the magic item box, his eyes were wide open, his skin was the gray-blue color of the dead, blood was splashed on the box and the tall sink beside it.Kuroba Kaito is leaning over, with a white glove in his mouth, his left hand is naked and strangled around the neck of the deceased, and his right hand is holding a large white cloth stained with blood (is it a tablecloth? A cloak? It doesn’t matter, you can It is confirmed that this is a tool used to hide the body), half of which is covering the dead body.A magician's staff rolled down at his feet.
This is the scene that Kudo Shinichi froze in his eyes when he arrived.
Hei Yu looked at them in shock, but he regained his composure at a speed visible to the naked eye, let go of the dead man's neck, slowly stood up straight, took off the glove from between his teeth, and calmed down. Put it back on.The blood-stained white cloak floated from his fingertips and fell softly on the corpse at his feet.
"You're late, Kudo-kun."
He said this with a clearness, or a calm attitude that did not match the murder scene-if he was not completely innocent, he would be a genius criminal who would not repent for his crimes at all.
Compared with the patrolling police who dealt with the riots caused by delinquent teenagers, the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section [-] arrived at the scene faster.The supposedly most dazzling stage of Jiang Gutian University turned into a murder scene. The news quickly spread among the students, but the cordon of the keepout kept everyone on the outside, and only the police and the people behind the incident remained in the inner circle. directly related.
Backstage, police officer Takagi had just finished the preliminary investigation. Hui reported: "Judging from the victim's student ID card, the victim's name was Amano Tsunao, a third-year student at Konan High School, 18 years old, male alpha. The cause of death was the back of the brain. He was hit hard and died on the spot, and the presumed time of death was within 10 minutes."
The Mumu Police Department nodded and asked, "Where's the murder weapon?"
"This..." Takagi turned his head to look at the cane on the ground. It is about 120cm long. The body of the cane is made of solid wood painted with black paint. The top is thick and the bottom is thin. It was hard, but there was no blood stain on it. "Actually, I think this cane is suspicious, so it rolled down next to the corpse. Although I didn't see any blood stains, I have already asked forensic personnel to do blood and fingerprint identification."
"Okay. Then, before the forensics results come out, let's ask about the case." Mumu Police Department came out of the crime scene and looked at the three boys who were waiting at the door——
The person who led the call was Artificial Teng Shinichi, who was very obedient this time and did not run around the scene, but waited outside in order not to disturb the forensic personnel.The person next to Kudo was wearing casual clothes, thin and small, as if he was hiding behind Kudo and keeping a distance from the third person—the third person who was being guarded would be misunderstood at first glance. Kudo Shinichi's twin brother, wearing rather eye-catching costumes, stood a little far away, with his hands in his pockets, as if he had nothing to do with himself.
"...Why are there always detectives at the scene of the crime?" Mu Mu Police Department couldn't hold back, and whispered something.
Takagi smoothed things out with a "ah ha ha ha": "At least this time, Mr. Conan and Mori, who were almost full attendance in the past, are not here. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Conan recently..."
Kudo coughed in time, interrupting the somewhat dangerous topic.
"Then let's get down to business, Kudo-kun, why did you get involved in the murder here? Isn't Tedan High School a few blocks away from here?"
"I was invited by Lanhe Sonoko to watch Kuroba-kun's magic show." Kudo raised his hand and gestured to the side.Hearing this, the magician known as Kuroba smiled and bowed, drawing a large and graceful arc in the air with his right hand, and introduced himself: "I am the star of this magic show, Kaito Kuroba, please give me your advice. "
Pretentiously, Kudo gave these four-character comments in his heart, and then continued: "At about 13:30, Lan and I saw the victim on campus. He was walking with this Mr. Mikata and a lady. together."
The person who huddled beside Kudo said, "Yes, my name is Mikata Osamu, and I'm Tsunao's classmate. I came to Ekoda's school festival with him and his girlfriend Yuko Kawauchi today... ..."
Police officer Megure looked around, wondering, "So where is Yuko Kawauchi now? She should also be involved in the incident, didn't you bring her, Kudo-kun?"
Kudo shook his head: "I couldn't find her in the school. After I found the body, I immediately called the police, and then asked Lan and Jiang Gutian from the student union to block the exit of the campus, but the news that someone died in the backstage of the stage spread, There was a riot among the students. Someone saw Ms. Kawauchi leaving in panic during the riot, and I have already asked the nearby patrol police to find her whereabouts.”
The Mumu Police Department pondered: "Well...so that's the case. The boyfriend fled the scene in panic after being killed. It's quite suspicious. I'm afraid she is the murderer. Takagi, we will also send some people to assist the local police. Be sure to arrest Kawachi as soon as possible. Bring Xizi here!"
"Stop joking, Police Department!" Sanfang Xiu yelled in disbelief, "Isn't that guy more suspicious than Xizi! I saw it with my own eyes. He was standing next to Tsuna, pinching Tsuna with one hand. Straight neck, and in the other hand is holding a white cloth that covers half of Tsuna's body—you must have seen it, Mister Detective!"
"What?!" Megure and Takagi's eyes followed Mikata Osamu's hand and landed on Kuroba he was pointing at. Kuroba just smiled and blinked, without speaking.The two police officers looked at Kudo Shinichi again: "Is this true, Kudo-kun? Could it be that you witnessed the crime scene?!"
Kudo Shinichi's eyes fell on Kuroba Kaito, quite calm, with a sense of rational inquiry: "...the witness testimony of the three parties is not lying."
Kaito Kuroba raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then met the sharp gaze of the two police officers, "You are the murderer, right?" This kind of gaze of preparing to arrest people has long been used to when molesting the Nakamori Police Department. ——Replied in a relaxed tone like talking about the weather: "Ah, speaking of it... this scene was indeed seen. But I didn't kill people."
"Hey, you have admitted that you were witnessed strangling the neck of the deceased and hiding the corpse, do you still want to deny—"
"Please wait a moment, Officer Takagi." Kudo Shinichi interrupted, "You misunderstood, 'witness testimony does not lie' does not mean 'what you see is true'. The cause of death of the victim was a blunt object hitting the back of the head , instead of suffocation, and there is no pinch mark on the neck, and Kuroba-kun deliberately took off the glove on his left hand at that time. If he wanted to harm Amano Tsunao, it would be very unnatural to take off the glove. The three parties witnessed, And the scene that I misunderstood—Kuroba-kun, you were touching the victim's carotid artery to confirm whether he was alive or dead, right?"
Kaito Kuroba was bewildered for a moment, then shrugged and smiled: "Yes, when I rushed to the backstage, I saw a strangely shaped white cloth next to the water tank. People. Then, as Kudo-kun said, I took off a glove in order not to interfere with the sense of touch, and checked his pulse... At that time, the person was dead, and the skin was still soft, and I could feel the residual warmth , I think he must have died not long ago."
Meguro Police Department nodded, this is an acceptable explanation: "By the way, when did you find the victim?"
"It's around 14:10 in the afternoon."
Officer Takagi made a note in the police handbook, and then turned his head to talk with Megure Police Department. Kaito Kuroba didn't pay attention to their conversation, but let his attention quietly fall on Kudo who was discussing something with the police officer Shinichi.
[The eyewitness testimony of the three parties did not lie], this sentence may be intentional.This well-known detective with a discerning eye has obviously seen through the truth of the eyewitness testimony, and indeed revealed the truth afterwards, but first sold it off with misleading language, making a "default murderer is Kuroba Kaito" attitude.
He is testing himself.And I really accidentally got caught——
He showed a surprised expression of "you're actually doubting me".
It is not a strange thing to be suspected by detectives who witnessed quite misleading scenes, and did act suspiciously, but—"According to your level, you can definitely see through", "I won't do this That kind of thing, you know", it feels unbelievable when you are really suspicious.The logic behind this expression is absolute trust.
Thus formed a tiny flaw.
Can such trust be generated between strangers who have only known each other for less than an hour?
...Although the famous detective probably just swindled casually, but the point of being swindled is really uncomfortable.
"...We came to this magic stage on the playground at about 13:40, met Kuroba Kaito here, and chatted with him for a while. During that time, Kuroba and other students from the student council came and went After the backstage, I asked, and no one saw the deceased in the backstage." Kudo Shinichi was continuing to introduce the timeline of the case, when he suddenly felt a bad sight, he turned his head and looked to the side, facing the Kuroba Kaito's innocent poker face, the latter smiled and then took the initiative to look away.
"?" Kudo was a little dazed, but still looked away, and continued, "Around 13:55, Matsushima Man came to inform us that there was a group of gangsters making trouble at the school gate. Kuroba and I went to the school gate first, and the others People followed one after another. After the incident was resolved, I saw what Ms. Kawauchi said to Kuroba at the school gate, and Kuroba rushed back to the backstage immediately, found the body, and was witnessed by me and three parties... that is to say, it may be The crime time is from 13:55 to 14:10, within 15 minutes."
"So that's it." Police officer Mumu nodded to express his understanding, "Then let's confirm the alibi, Mr. Sanfang, tell me first—from the riot at the school gate to the time you found the body, what have you been doing? "
San Fangxiu scratched his head, showing a distressed expression of remembering something: "Master Police Department, I'm sorry, I can't remember the time so clearly like the detective brother, and I can't tell the number... But when the riot happened, I On the playground, Tsunade and Xizi were also there, and together we saw a group of people running out of the stage and rushing towards the school gate. Then, um..." His eyes shifted slightly in embarrassment, "Then Tsuna I said I had some things to do, so I went to the backstage alone, Xizi went to the teaching building, and I waited under the tree at the door of the backstage to wait for Gangzhi to come out. I don’t know how long I waited, but I remembered smoking two or three Yan, and then I saw Hei Yu running over with a terrifying expression on his face like he was about to kill someone, and he pushed open the door and rushed into the backstage. I thought, it's over, the beam that was formed yesterday, he might have to fight with Tsunade I got up, and went to the door to persuade a fight—and then everyone knew what I saw."
Officer Megure confirmed: "It means that you have been guarding the door during the time period when the crime was likely to be committed. You did not see the victim come out, nor did you see anyone other than Kuroba Kaito enter, right?"
The three parties nodded yes.
Police officer Meguro continued to confirm: "Can someone prove that you have been staying under the tree and have not entered the backstage?"
Sanfang shrugged and said, "I guess no one saw it... But I really didn't go in. As soon as Gangzhi entered the backstage, he closed the door."
Officer Meguro frowned, still asking Mikata Osamu, but his eyes fell on Kaito Kuroba beside him: "What's the matter with the 'beam formed yesterday'?"
The three parties showed embarrassing expressions. What is more depressing than being a delinquent boy who has to obediently admit to the police that the robbery was attempted?Under the righteous gaze of the police department, this delinquent boy first deeply repented that he should not be a delinquent, should not smoke, should study hard every day and not be rebellious. Save the beauty, use the omega pheromone to tease and run away, and the escape technique is so superb, the story of finding no one after climbing over the wall and escaping, and vividly described the bad boy boss Amano Tsunao With a shoe print, I was so angry that I swore that I would kill this Kuroba to death.
Police Officer Takagi was amazed—this story could have been published directly on the headline "Heroic Omega Guy Fights Misguided Alpha Bad Group", and of course must be accompanied by a sentence "Dangerous operation, please do not imitate".However, this kind of brave behavior has now become a proof of the enmity between the two, and he sighed with some regret: "It seems that there is a motive."
The heroic boy Kaito Kuroba looked disgusted: "Can this be used as a motive?"
Officer Takagi made a puzzled voice: "Why can't it be used as a motive? You just fought each other yesterday. Since there is a history of discord in this relationship..."
Kuroba Kaito made a stupid expression on his face: "If I play it off, I may have a motive for killing, but I won the victory perfectly, and I played them hard. One uses face-stomping and pheromone The guy who can be solved, why bother to kill him?"
In this way, treating the victim as a rookie who can be solved easily, he made a shocking statement like a black and evil force.
Officer Takagi revealed his peasy eyes: "Say, what you said is also..."
The Mumu Police Department coughed in disbelief: "Kuroyu-kun, your alibi...although there shouldn't be any, you should tell me about it."
"What, since you know if you don't have it, there's no need to say it." Kaito Kuroba showed a headache, and sighed, "I and Kudo were the first to rush to the school gate, and the others left after that. On the stage, until I returned to the backstage, Kudo-kun was watching me carefully—it’s a pity that he came too late to be an alibi witness for the rest of the time. In short, I No one can help me prove what happened after I entered the backstage. Of course, the police department can say that I did it. But..."
The well-dressed magician spread his hands, showing off his white gloves, then stretched the neckline of the dress with a smile, and lifted one side of the dress jacket, revealing the elegant little vest and white shirt underneath.The waistline is slender, the fabric is ironed, quite photogenic and eye-catching, and most importantly, there are no suspicious red marks.
"I can spend no more than 1 minute alone in the background. I have to meet the victim, make a decision to kill him, actually do it, pretend to check his life and death to exonerate myself, and there is no splash on my body when the victim was killed. There are too many bloodstains... there are too many things to do."
Megure Police Department narrowed its eyes unmoved.Anyway, he is also an old police officer who has handled quite a few murder cases, and he has noticed the sense of incongruity in these narratives, like a missing gear in a precision instrument—whether it is Mikata Osamu, Kuroba Kaito, or even Kudo Shinichi, They deliberately did not mention the person who was briefly dealt with in the testimony.
Kawauchi Yuko.
According to San Fangxiu's testimony, she had never entered the backstage, so she should not be suspected of murder, but she must have played some key role, otherwise it would be unjustifiable to flee the scene in panic after the crime happened.After Kuroba Kaito talked with her, he rushed straight to the backstage of the magic stage with "a terrifying expression on his face that looked like he was about to kill someone". Probably also noticed--
"Not necessarily, Kuroba-kun." Police Officer Mumu said in a deep voice, "You should have already done the matter of 'making the decision to kill the victim' on the way to the backstage."
The expression on Kuroba Kaito's face was fixed at a perfect and
