Detective Cauchy

Chapter 13 The third mission.

In the early morning of the next day, Ke Xi and Conan got together again.

Last night, after the three children threatened Conan, they warmly invited him and Xiao Ai.

Although he had no idea of ​​cutting his hair, looking at the hopeful eyes of the three children, Kexi couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed.

To Ke Xi's surprise, Xiao Ai also agreed to the invitation of these children.Although Coxi knew that Xiao Aiken followed, the big reason was because of Conan.But Xiao Ai was able to follow, and he was also very happy.

Walking on the road, Ayumi put her hands behind her back, and her cute little face was filled with a happy smile: "I woke up at five o'clock this morning, and I feel so happy to think that sister Meixiang can help me cut my hair once. "

"I don't know what kind of hair Ayumi will cut, it's really exciting!" Mitsuhiko looked at Ayumi and smiled.

"It must be short hair, I like girls with short hair." Yuan Tai also said innocently.

Mitsuhiko looked at Ayumi, then at Xiao Ai, and said, "Actually, I also like girls with short hair."

Ayumi looked sideways at Conan, blushing slightly, twitched a few times, and still mustered up the courage to ask Conan: "What about... Conan, what kind of girls with hairstyle does Conan like?"

"Me?" Hearing Ayumi's words, Conan froze for a moment. When he saw Ayumi's expectant eyes, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Kexi glanced at Ayumi, he knew that Ayumi liked Conan, but for a six or seven-year-old kid, it's a bit precocious to get in touch with men and women now, right?
Seeing Conan's faltering, Cauchy shook his head secretly, it's not about hairstyle at all, this guy only likes his sister Xiaolan, no matter what kind of hairstyle Xiaolan has, he will like it.

It's just that Ayumi suffers. There is not only a problem of age between her and Conan, but the distance between hearts is even closer.

Although Conan is by her side, she will never be able to enter the depths of Conan's heart, because that position has already been filled by Xiaolan, and she can no longer accommodate anyone, whether it is Ayumi or Xiaoai...

Soon, everyone came to Meixiang's apartment, Ayumi stepped forward and rang the doorbell a few times, but no one came out to answer the door, Yuantai asked strangely: "Is no one at home?"

"Impossible, sister Meixiang asked us to come to her in the morning, she should not go out." Mitsuhiko said.

"The door is not locked." Ayumi stretched out her hand to the doorknob and twisted it lightly, the originally locked door opened.

"This is too reckless." Mitsuhiko said.

At this time, the system's prompt sounded in Cauchy's mind: "The system prompts that the third system task has been triggered. Please cooperate with Conan or complete the task independently."

"The system prompts that the memory of this task has been blocked. Please use your thinking ability to complete the task."

"Mission?" Hearing the prompt from the system, Coxi was taken aback. They were just here to cut their hair. Could this also trigger a mission?

Wait, this is the door of Meixiang's house, and if there is a mission here, doesn't that mean that something happened to Meixiang?
"Oops!" Thinking of this, Ke Xi hurriedly opened the door and rushed in.

"Student Suzuki, why did you break in? It's too impolite." Mitsuhiko shouted from behind.

In the current situation, Kexi didn't care about being polite. If he didn't guess wrong, something might have happened to Meixiang.

Meixiang made an appointment with them yesterday, and she came to her this morning, but they rang the doorbell several times, but no one came to answer the door, and the door was not locked. Adding the reminder of the system task, Cauchy can conclude that something happened to Meixiang .

Even... might have been killed.

After rushing into the room, Kexi saw a pair of shoes placed at the entrance, which should be Meixiang's shoes. If the shoes are still there, it means that Meixiang has not gone out, which makes Kexi more sure of his guess.

"Student Suzuki, what's the matter with you, why did you barge in all of a sudden?" Ayumi and the others also followed in, looking at Kexi suspiciously.

Ke Xi ignored them, because he saw a figure lying in the living room, but because there was a glass door blocking him, he couldn't see whether the figure was Mei Xiang.

Ke Xi quickly took off his shoes, moved his feet, and ran towards the living room.

When Cauchy moved, Conan also moved, and his keen observation also found the figure lying in the living room.

There was a running sound of 'da da da' behind him, but Kexi didn't turn his head and continued to run towards the living room.

After arriving at the living room, he pushed open the glass partition door, and saw Mei Xiang's body lying next to the sofa at first sight.

"Sure enough." Looking at Meixiang lying on the ground, Ke Xi clenched his fists.

At this time, Conan also arrived, and when he saw Mika lying on the ground, he immediately yelled at Coxi: "Student Suzuki, please don't go here. Ayumi, don't come here either."

Hearing Conan's words, Cauchy understood that Conan was worried that they would destroy the murder scene.

However, Kexi still stood quietly at the door of the living room according to Conan's request, and did not go in.For these things, Conan is more professional than him, and it is the most correct choice to leave it to Conan.

Conan trotted to Meixiang's body, stretched out his hand and pressed Meixiang's neck, her pulse was gone, and she was indeed killed.

"Don't move around, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, hurry up and call the police, Haibara, give me your phone, and I'll take pictures and save the scene." Conan ordered Ayumi and the others.

"Okay." Seeing Mika's body lying on the ground, Ayumi and the others felt very nervous, but they still followed Conan's request and prepared to run out to call the police.

At this moment, Cauchy said, "No need, I have already called the police."

Everyone looked over, only to see Kexi shaking the mobile phone of unknown brand in his hand.

Ke Xi took the mobile phone, facing the living room, adjusted several angles, and took a picture of the scene in the living room.Then he walked towards Conan with his mobile phone.

"Here, here you go, take a picture." Kexi handed the phone to Conan.

Conan was not too polite, took the mobile phone and clicked on Meixiang's body a few times, and took a picture of the situation of Meixiang's body.

While Conan was taking pictures, Cauchy also entered the "Detective" mode, and his eyes searched for various useful clues on Meixiang's body.

First of all, Kexi found that there was an obvious strangulation mark on Meixiang's neck, which was obviously strangled to death from behind.

To Cauchy's surprise, the scratches were only on the front of the neck, but there were no marks on the sides and back of the neck.

It stands to reason that if someone is strangled to death by a rope, even if strangled from behind, there will be strangle marks on both sides of the neck.But now Meixiang's corpse has strangle marks only on the front.

This is a bit strange. Could it be that the other party strangled Mei Xiang to death with a rope, but with something else?

If so, what was the murder weapon?

Kexi's gaze moved from Meixiang's neck to other parts of the corpse. Through his observation, there was nothing unusual about Meixiang's corpse except that the clothes on her body were a little messy.

At this moment, Conan seemed to have discovered something. He grabbed Meixiang's hand, stared at Meixiang's fingers with sharp eyes, and observed carefully.

Seeing this, Kexi also looked at Meixiang's finger, and found that there seemed to be something embedded in the fingernail.

In order to take a closer look, Kexi squatted down, leaned his head into Meixiang's fingers to observe carefully, and at the same time asked Conan next to him: "What is this?"

"I don't know, it seems to be blue, plastic debris." Conan held up the phone and clicked on Meixiang's finger a few times, saving the evidence.

"Blue plastic debris?" Cosy rubbed his chin, then turned his gaze to the rest of the living room.

There are only two things worth noting in the living room, one is the cold supper on the table, the other is a red dress on the sofa and a blue dress on the floor.

These two pieces of clothing were covered with plastic bags, and there was a laundry label on the plastic, which should have been brought back by Mei Xiang from the laundry last night.

From the supper on the table and these two clothes, Cauchy can judge that the time of Meixiang's death should have been last night, and the precise time will have to wait for the police and the personnel of the Forensic Bureau to thoroughly investigate.
