Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 364 Picking up soap for a few days makes you a hero again!
Satoru Oba kept trying to remove the fixed pistol and plastic bag from his pocket, but the transparent plastic bag was too tight to operate with one hand.

"I'm going to call the police!"

Satoru Ohba broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that if he didn't deal with the murder weapon now, he would surely die. He ignored Tatsumi Sakura on the ground and ran away as fast as he could.

Anya knew she couldn't stop him, so she didn't. She walked over to Tatsumi Sakurako and said, "This uncle is so nervous. He looks like a murderer. Maybe he is the murderer."

Upon hearing this, Tatsumi Sakurako paused for a moment and retorted, "How could it be him? We're getting married, and my father is his father-in-law."

"But when he left, his right hand was in his pocket the whole time, and it felt like he was carrying a handgun, and the old man in the elevator was shot and killed."

Anya glanced around, then leaned close to Tatsumi Sakurako's ear: "Ania's father is a very skilled spy. Under his influence, Anya's observation skills are superb."

"I think this uncle is probably going to dispose of the murder weapon right now!"

"kid"

Tatsumi Sakurako was taken aback, then recalled that after Oba Satoru kissed him, he seemed to have never used his right hand, and even when he was fiddling with his earrings, he used his left hand.

Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem impossible!
No, how could I suspect Mr. Oba? He's the person who loves me most in the world besides my father. If he's the murderer... no, impossible! The murderer must be someone else!

The first to arrive after hearing the commotion were the front desk staff. Upon arrival, they only had time to ask, "What happened?" before they saw the body inside the elevator.

He then perfectly replicated Tatsumi Sakura's routine, plopped down on the ground, and trembled.

This situation occurred twice, during which Oba Satoru did not return until a third restaurant staff member arrived. This worldly-wise restaurant manager immediately called the police.

After all, this wasn't the first time a body had been found in an elevator after working there for so many years.

Not long after, Inspector Megure arrived at the scene, along with Shinichi Kudo, a street hustler.

As for Ooba Satoru, he had returned to Tatsumi Sakurako's side five minutes earlier, comforting his future wife with a righteous expression.

Police arrived at the scene and immediately began an investigation and questioning. The area was cordoned off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Inspector Megure suspects the killer may still be among the guests, and this could very well be a stress-induced murder triggered by the robbery.

Anya stood beside Tatsumi Sakurako, offering quiet words of comfort. After all, she was a kind-hearted older sister, and she didn't want Sakurako to be deceived by the murderer uncle, so she kept trying to persuade her.

However, Sakurako Tatsumi was unmoved by reason and simply did not believe that Satoru Oba was the murderer of his father.

Satoru Oba looked at Anya with disgust. Although Anya spoke very softly, he could still hear a little bit. Fortunately, what such a young child said could not be used as evidence in a legal sense, and the police certainly wouldn't believe it!

"."

Anya sighed, turning to look at the Conan Pro Max version. It seemed she could only let Conan have it!
Anya strode up to Shinichi Kudo and tugged at the hem of his school uniform: "Shinichi-nii, Inspector Megure, I already know who the culprit is!"

"What? Anya, what are you doing here too!"

Inspector Megure was clearly blind; he hadn't spotted Anya for several minutes. Upon seeing Anya, he immediately turned and looked around, trying to find his friend Natsukawa.

"Father didn't come!"

"He didn't come? What a pity. If Brother Xia Chuan were here, he and Brother Shinichi would definitely be able to solve the case quickly with their combined strength."

Shinichi Kudo's face darkened. Inspector Megure's words hurt him deeply. With Shinichi Kudo around, what case couldn't be solved? After asking a few questions, he could usually figure out the solution.

"Um, Anya, what did you call me just now?" Shinichi Kudo asked again, pointing to his face, lacking confidence.

"Kudo-nii-san!"

Shinichi Kudo breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he must have been hallucinating due to some side effect of the medication. How could Anya, that little idiot, possibly discover his identity?

wrong!

"What did you just say? You know who the murderer is?!" ×2
Inspector Megure and Shinichi Kudo both looked shocked.

Anya raised her head and nodded, giving Shinichi Kudo a defiant glance, as if to say: See? I'm so amazing, and you didn't even ask me for help with something as fun as growing bigger. We can't be brothers anymore!

Shinichi Kudo didn't understand what Anya's expression meant, and reached out to touch her pink hair twice.

Having Natsukawa pat her head every day, it would be hard for Anya to calm herself down without retaliating by patting her head back.

Anya was a little annoyed, but she didn't say anything. She prioritized the bigger picture and knew she would make Conan pay once he turned back.

"Look, that Uncle Oba is the murderer!"

"Oh? Anya also thinks he's the murderer?"

After only a few questions, Shinichi Kudo also suspected that Satoru Ohba was the murderer and roughly knew the method. However, there was no evidence yet, and no motive could be found. The other party was the victim's daughter's boyfriend, which shouldn't be the case.

and many more!

This relationship isn't entirely impossible, but it seems to raise even more suspicion.

Xiaolan has recently been watching a bizarre anime series. It's about a rich young lady who falls in love with a company employee. The company president's father disapproves, so the employee ousts the president, takes his place, and reaches the pinnacle of life, marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman.

It seems like it could be a clue; maybe that's exactly what happened to Ohba Satoru.

"After I opened the elevator, Uncle Dachang immediately stood in front of the elevator, as if to block our view so that we could not see what was happening inside. Moreover, he kept his right hand in his pocket, which was bulging as if it were a pistol."

Although she didn't witness the crime, Anya overheard Oba Satoru's thoughts and knew his plans inside and out. With her superhuman abilities, this case was a piece of cake for her!

Today she must show off her abilities in front of Conan, and maybe next time there's something fun like this, Conan will invite her along.

“In that case, Oba Satoru is indeed very suspicious. Moreover, he did leave for a while after the body was discovered, most likely to go to the bathroom to dispose of the murder weapon, which is why we didn’t find a handgun on him just now!”

Police have found the discarded handgun and silencer. Initial tests showed no fingerprints on them. Inspector Megure initially suspected it was a robbery-related murder, but now it appears to have been pre-planned.

"If the person who fired the shot was Oba Satoru, we can determine whether he was the killer simply by testing for gunpowder residue!"

Inspector Megure was about to call in forensic experts when Kudo stopped him.

"No!"

Shinichi Kudo shook his head and looked at Satoru Oba, who was comforting his girlfriend.

“I just learned a little about it. Oba Satoru didn’t have much time to make a move, probably only about ten seconds when he was kissing Tatsumi Sakurako. He dared to make a move, so he must have made thorough preparations. After the Beika City Plaza Hotel case, many people have already learned about the gunshot reaction in the news and newspapers. He must have taken protective measures.”

"To avoid getting gunpowder on yourself, use gloves or plastic bags to isolate your right hand that is holding the gun!"

Upon noticing Shinichi Kudo's unfriendly gaze, Satoru Oba frowned slightly, whispered a few words of comfort to Sakura Tatsumi, and then walked over.

"Officer, who is this?"

This guy, who looks like he hasn't even grown any hair yet, stared at him several times, which made Oba Satoru, who was already feeling a little guilty, keep on edge. Now, he finally couldn't stand the look and came to question him.

In fact, Satoru Oba had complete confidence in his plan.

The pistol was discarded without fingerprints. The original plan was to hide the plastic bag and gloves inside the mascot in the storage room, but the storage room was locked by someone and they still can't get in.

On a whim, he decided to slip the gloves into the ventilation duct above the storage room door, a place that was unlikely to be checked and was perfectly safe.

The little girl is too young, and what she says won't be taken as evidence. As long as he insists that he didn't know anything about kissing Tatsumi Sakurako, the police can't do anything about him!
Anya stood to the side with her big, beady eyes, eavesdropping. It was as if Oba Satoru was explaining the situation to her, mentioning almost all the key points.

"Oh, I'm a newly recruited police officer."

"Uh"

Inspector Megure smacked his lips, but ultimately swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Solving the case still depends on Kudo's brother; if we don't say it's him, Oba Satoru definitely won't cooperate.

It's fine now. He didn't say yes or no. When Oba Satoru causes trouble later, he has an excuse. He can say that he didn't give a definite answer. At most, Kudo will be locked up for a few days. He'll be fed and clothed, and after a few days of picking up soap, he'll be a hero again!
While Inspector Megure was making his own plans, Satoru Ohba began his performance.

"Alright, whatever you want to do, Sakura isn't in a good state right now. I'm going to take her to see a psychologist. After all, her father died right in front of her, and she needs to receive counseling for this kind of thing."

Shinichi Kudo sneered inwardly. If Sakura Tatsumi knew that her boyfriend had killed her father, she would probably need to see a psychiatrist!
We absolutely cannot let this guy leave!

Shinichi Kudo shook his head: "Ms. Sakurako Tatsumi can leave, but Mr. Satoru Oba cannot!"

"What do you mean!" Oba Satoru's voice suddenly rose several decibels as he coldly questioned, "The president died in the elevator, and I was with Sakurako the whole time. You're actually suspecting me?"

Oba Satoru glared angrily at Inspector Megure, whose rank was higher.

"Is this how the Metropolitan Police Department trains its new officers? Accusing innocent people at a death scene! This rookie officer, barely out of school, dares to arbitrarily accuse the victim's family! I'm going to file a complaint with the Metropolitan Police Department!"

Oh shit!

It must have been something that child just said!
Ooba Satoru's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he glanced at Anya. He had to maintain his image while standing next to Tatsumi Sakurako, so he couldn't say anything, but now he wouldn't hold back.

“If you listened to this child’s opinion, I would think your Metropolitan Police Department is incompetent. Can you really take a child’s words seriously? Do they have any legal effect?”
