Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

329. Left Alone by Teacher Judy

Teacher Judy realized something was wrong, blushed, and snatched her phone back.

"Officer Bai, you—"

Teacher Judy glared at Bai Quanyi with shame and anger.

Bai Quanyi played dumb and said, "I'm sorry... I almost backed away just now. I didn't mean to."

Judy put her hands on her hips and snorted softly, saying, "You two, one big and one small, are not good people!"

Bai Quanyi rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and said, "It's getting late. So, we'll take our leave, Teacher Judy."

Conan smiled sheepishly and said, "Goodbye, Teacher Judy. I'll come to play with you next time."

Teacher Judy said unhappily, "I don't welcome you two!"

Having said that, Judy was still very polite and sent Baiquan Yi and Conan to the first floor. The appearance of the two and their banter made her feel a lot better. Although Baiquan Yi and Conan saw her body, it was harmless for an open-minded Western woman.

The three of them took the elevator to the first floor. As soon as they walked out of the apartment door, they were attracted by a woman who was standing not far from the apartment door. She was holding a camera and shooting something in the sky.

"That woman is the one just now." Conan recognized at a glance that the woman in the dark was the neighbor whom they had met after receiving a response at the door of Teacher Judy's house.

"Oh, she's Mr. Takai's girlfriend who lives next door to me." Judy explained, "But what is she doing?"

"Taking photos in a place like this?" Bai Quanyi raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman with a hint of surprise.

Snap!

Something suddenly fell from the sky.

Conan and Shiraizumi Yi ran towards the fallen object immediately, without any concern about the danger of something else falling from the sky.

"Is it a cell phone?" After seeing clearly what the fallen object was, Bai Quanyi picked it up in surprise, "Why would a cell phone..."

The two of them then raised their heads slightly and looked up.

The next moment, their expressions changed drastically.

A figure was falling at an extremely fast speed and hit in front of the two people.

The man fell to the ground in a lying position.

With a look of terror on his face, he turned his head upwards.

"Isn't this person... Mr. Takai who lives next door to me?" Judy walked over, bent down, looked at the dead man's face, and then exclaimed.

At the same time, her eyes kept moving between Conan and Shiraizumi Masu.

"Ahhh! Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao Jing! Why is it..." The woman approached cautiously, and after seeing the face of the deceased clearly, her face immediately turned pale. She covered her mouth with trembling hands and screamed in fear.

Bai Quanyi took out a pair of gloves and put them on, then began a preliminary examination of the body.

"Why did Mr. Takai commit suicide..." the woman asked timidly.

"Why do you think he committed suicide?" Conan looked up at the woman and asked.

"Isn't that natural? The key is in my hand, and I locked the door before I went out. Mr. Takai should be the only one left in the house!" The woman looked at Conan with tears in her eyes and answered.

"No, it's still unclear whether it was suicide or not." Baiquanyi said as he browsed the call on Mr. Takai's mobile phone that had just been hung up not long ago.

"Let's call the last person the deceased contacted before his death." Conan looked at the mobile phone in Baiquanyi's hand with a serious expression.

Judy skillfully called the police and then moved away from the body.

Not long after, Inspector Megure arrived with his men.

Inspector Megure looked at Shiraizumi Masu in surprise and said, "Inspector Shirai, how come you went on a police mission without telling me? I don't have to go on a police mission."

Bai Quanyi said helplessly: "Actually, I am also one of the parties involved."

Inspector Megure asked, "What happened?"

Conan Edogawa: "This Mr. Takai fell from the 21st floor."

A group of people went to Mr. Takai's house to investigate.

Megure Jusan asked, "Then was the key to this door really locked?"

Edogawa Conan said: "Well, this door is indeed locked."

Megure Jusan nodded and said, "Then this is a secret room. We can now use suicide to close the case."

Shiraizumi said, "We thought so at first, but we stopped thinking so after seeing the curtains in the room where Gao Jing fell. The curtains must have been pulled, which is why the track is deformed and two or three hooks are missing, right? This means he must have pulled the curtains before he fell. Do you think someone determined to commit suicide would do this?"

Megure Jusan said: "So he didn't commit suicide."

Judy said, "Murder. This is a homicide. I think this is the kind of locked-room murder you often see in movies or novels, right?"

Megure Jusan said, "Teacher Judy, why are you here?"

Judy Stelling said, "Because my room is right next door."

Takagi Wataru took notes and asked, "Why are you here?"

Judy said, "They came here to see me today. I was just sending them downstairs when Mr. Gaojing fell down, right?"

Shiraizumi Yi and Conan nodded.

Megure Jusan said, "Superintendent Shiro, so you should know the method of the locked room murder, right?"

Bai Quanyi shook his head. "No, I haven't figured it out yet. All I know now is that this murder might be related to the marks on the glass. I'm not sure about anything else."

Megure Jusan: "What mark?"

Takagi Wataru: "That's right, this does look like the mark of something hitting the glass from outside."

Megure Jusan: "What on earth could this be?"

Chiba Kazunobu showed the photos to everyone: "Officer Megure, we have developed all the photos taken by Miss Shimoda.

In fact, most of the photos are the exterior of the building, and there is only one photo that shows a very strange human figure, so I took it out.

That’s the photo I’m talking about.”

Megure Jusan asked, "Isn't this person Mr. Takai?"

Bai Quanyi: "I told you, he did grab the curtains."

Judy: "It seems like something is coming out of the room."

Conan Edogawa: "That should be his cell phone."

Bai Quanyi: "So, the marks on the glass are from the phone hitting it. Then why did he lose his phone?"

Judy: "I think maybe he received some unpleasant phone call?"

Edogawa Conan: "You mean how the murderer threw Mr. Takai out of the window?"

Shiraizumi Mashi: "Ms. Shimoda, who was taking photos at the gate, had to use a flash to increase the brightness."

Conan Edogawa: "There's nothing unusual in the message from Mr. Nakamachi."

Shiraizumi Mashi: "The next step is to call Mr. Kawakami, the deceased."

Conan Edogawa: "No one would jump out of a window just because someone tells them to die."

Suddenly, a bright light flashed through the eyes of Shiraizumi Masaru and Edogawa Conan, and they looked at each other: "I know the truth!"

Judy Stelling, who was not far away, was taking pictures of them with her cell phone.

Inspector Megure asked, "Officer Shiro, who is the murderer?"

Shiraizumi Masu said: "The murderer is Mr. Kawakami."

Mr. Kawakami certainly didn't want to admit that he was the murderer: "I'm not the murderer. Do you have any evidence?"

Shiraizumi said: "The evidence is the phone call that Mr. Kawakami made to the deceased."

Faced with the evidence, Kawakami had to admit that he was the murderer.

After the case was over, Bai Quanyi was about to leave, but was stopped by Judy, who wanted to say something to Bai Quanyi alone.

So, Shiraizumi Masu asked Takagi to send Conan home, while he stayed to see what Judy wanted to say to him.

330. Good Times with Teacher Judy

Bai Quanyi turned back and asked, "Teacher Judy, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Teacher Judy said, "Before, I couldn't make up my mind, but now, I have made up my mind."

Bai Quanyi said 861064746: "What determination?"

Teacher Judy said, "Let me play you a recording first."

Teacher Judy turned on her cell phone and played a recording, which was the recording of Rena Mizunashi and the people from the Black Organization discussing the assassination of Yasuki Domon.

"Inspector Shiro, the assassination of Yasuteru Domon was a gang operation. And I can confirm that Rena Mizunashi is one of the gang members. She is definitely the murderer!"

Teacher Judy said earnestly.

Bai Quanyi said: "This kind of recording from an unknown source cannot be used as evidence. Moreover, the voice in the recording may not necessarily be Rena Mizunashi's voice!"

"That's Rena Mizunashi's voice."

Judy said firmly.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Judy. The CIA has asked the Special Investigation Division to put pressure on the police, so I can't investigate Rena Mizunashi."

Teacher Judy said: "You don't have to arrest Mizunashi Rena. You can secretly investigate Mizunashi Rena. I want to know the truth, especially the man who cooperated with Mizunashi Rena to kill Domon Yasuki. He is the culprit."

Bai Quanyi looked embarrassed. In fact, the culprit was right in front of Teacher Judy.

Shiraizumi Mashi said, "No, I can't disobey the Special Investigation Division's orders. Not only me, even Superintendent Hakuba can't disobey the Special Investigation Division's orders!"

Teacher Judy said, "Just now, you saw it."

Bai Quanyi said, "What do you mean?"

Teacher Judy said, "You're asking even though you already know the answer. Am I pretty?"

As she spoke, Teacher Judy took off her thin purple short-sleeved blouse——

"Wow--"

Bai Quanyi was stunned.

"Let's not worry about Mizuno Rena for now. As long as you can dig out the identity of the man who cooperated with her from Mizuno Rena, I can agree to any conditions you have."

"This—Teacher Judy, please don't do this. I have principles."

"Officer White, can you feel my heartbeat?"

"Hmm—heart rate—very fast!"

"How about it? Are you willing to help me?"

"Alright. I promise to help you, Teacher Judy. This is within my job scope. To find the truth, there's no other way, even if it means disobeying the orders of the Special Investigation Division."

"Officer Bai, you are such a good person."

Teacher Judy took Bai Quanyi's hand with all her heart. Bai Quanyi's heart was pounding.

"Teacher Judy, I will definitely find out the truth, please believe me!"

"Um--"

However, during this process, Bai Quanyi began to have doubts.

"That's not right... Teacher Judy, your ex-boyfriend is Akai Shuichi, why—"

Teacher Judy was also confused: "Inspector Bai, how do you even know that Akai Shuichi is my ex-boyfriend?"

Bai Quanyi explained: "Teacher Judy, I have been paying attention to you silently, but you didn't notice!"

Teacher Judy smiled bitterly and said, "So, you bad boy have been targeting me for a long time. Akai Shuichi and I are both devout Christians. According to religious rules, we can only be intimate after marriage. Later, Akai Shuichi dumped me. Therefore, I didn't have any intimate contact with him."

Bai Quanyi asked in confusion: "But why are you so mean to me——"

Teacher Judy said, "If I don't do this, how can you be so dedicated? In the end, you will definitely be fooled by a bunch of perfunctory detectives like you. I know the reputation of your Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is well known. It is the worst in Japan. Revenge for my friend is more important than obeying the rules of the church!"

Bai Quanyi said, "That's in the past. Teacher Judy, don't worry, I will definitely cherish you!"

Teacher Judy said: "I don't need you to cherish me, you just need to use your heart to find the truth for me."
