In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Conan has disappeared.

Xia Ye led Xiao Lan and Yang Zi up the steps.

"Summer Leaves—"

Why didn't you let me catch that person just now?

Xiao Lan was a little confused. It was only a few dozen steps, and Xia Ye didn't even need to lift a finger. She could have easily climbed up in two or three steps and caught the dark figure. However, Xia Ye quietly pulled her back!

why?

"Need not!"

Xia Ye waved her hand and said with a smile:

"That's Nachi Shingo. Even if something happens, we can just go to him!"

"what?"

"Is it Mr. Nachi?"

Yoko immediately dismissed her guess, knowing that with Nachi Shingo's proud personality, he would never steal incense money from the shrine!

soon--

The three of them walked to the torii gate.

Ran and Yoko let out short gasps.

On the platform in front of the shrine, a gruesome corpse lay sprawled.

Black blood gushed down under the cover of night, pooling on the steps into a horrifying pool.

"It's Mr. Anzai!"

Conan reached behind the corpse's neck, his face darkening, and shouted loudly at Ran who was walking towards him:

"He's dead! Sister Xiaolan, call the police quickly!"

"Boom--!"

Xia Ye punched Conan on the head.

Xiao Lan, who had already taken out her phone, tugged at Xia Ye's arm, both amused and exasperated, and gently scolded:

Why did you hit Conan?

Even though she had fallen for Natsume, Shinichi was, after all, a famous detective who had solved many cases, so Ran subconsciously obeyed his orders.

But then I thought about it.

Her boyfriend is a rising star in the Metropolitan Police Department who is also very good at solving cases. Now that she listens to Shinichi so much, is he jealous?

"Yeah, why did you hit me?"

Conan covered his head, feeling very wronged. Xia Ye's punch was no joke. Although it wasn't very forceful, it still hurt Conan a lot!

"Haha~"

Xia Ye sneered upon hearing this:

"Don't you have a phone in your pocket? Can't you call the police yourself? Also, you went into the scene and touched the body without my permission. Tell me, isn't it a fair deal to beat you up?"

"Didn't you say before that I could go to the site with you to help?"

Conan argued.

Xia Ye said calmly, "Are you with me?"

Conan, knowing he was in the wrong, turned around and ran to the side.

"I'll call the police right now!"

"Xia Ye!"

"Is Mr. Nachi the murderer?"

Xiaolan glanced at the corpse not far away.

Ever since the karate tournament, she has kept in mind Xia Ye's teachings to always remain calm. So even when faced with such a horrific murder scene, she can now remain completely at ease.

She remembered seeing Anzai blackmailing Nachi Shingo with scandalous photos in the woods that evening with Natsume, which gave Nachi Shingo a motive to kill Anzai!

I don't think so.

Xia Ye shook her head and smiled, saying:

"While they were in the woods, Nachi Shingo already seemed inclined to pay someone to keep quiet, so he probably didn't intend to kill anyone."

"His demeanor just now seemed very much like someone who had arranged to meet Anzai, only to arrive and find a corpse, causing him to panic and run away."

"Right!"

Xiaolan nodded.

I recalled the scene at that time.

Although she was being bullied by Xia Ye at that time—

Cough!

However, I did overhear a few words of conversation between Anzai and Nachi Shingo, and at that time Nachi Shingo did indeed show signs of backing down.

"Brother Xia Ye, I've called the police!"

Conan put away his phone and walked over. He had called Inspector Megure, who, upon hearing that another murder had occurred, said he would be there immediately!

"Okay, let's go inspect the scene!"

Seeing Conan's eager look, Xia Ye smiled and waved her hand, telling him to go ahead and do his own thing!

"it is good!"

Conan was delighted upon hearing this.

He immediately ran to the body to examine it.

"Summer Leaves—"

Ran glanced at Conan circling Anzai's body, then smiled at Xia Ye and said:

"Aren't you afraid of getting a scolding from Inspector Megure if you just let Conan wander around the scene like this?"

If it were Shinichi's true form, Inspector Megure would be more than happy to welcome him, but Conan is currently in the form of an elementary school student, and Inspector Megure would not allow such a young child to enter the scene!

"It's okay~"

Xia Ye smiled and said:

"I'll explain to Inspector Megure!"

"Okay~"

Ran subtly pursed her lips. This guy's treating Conan so well, he might really see Shinichi as his own son, especially considering Yukiko's side—

Inspector Megure arrived quickly.

"How can children run around like that at the scene!"

Sure enough, upon seeing Conan beside the corpse, Inspector Megure's chubby face darkened, and he began to reprimand him with a stern expression.

"Inspector Megure, this kid is my newly taken-in apprentice. He's quick-witted, good at deduction, and a promising talent. Let him learn from me!"

Xia Ye stepped forward and offered an explanation.

"Since Brother Xia Ye puts it that way, then let's leave it at that!"

Inspector Megure nodded. Conan had always been by the side of the famous detective Mori, and now he'd been taken in as an apprentice by Natsume. He certainly seemed to be a genius; nurturing him wouldn't hurt.

but--

He looked at Xia Ye, his chubby face showing a helpless expression as he muttered:

"Brother Xia Ye, I originally thought Brother Mao Li was a grim reaper, with murders wherever he went, but I didn't expect you, Brother Xia Ye, to be just as good!"

"The Izu Police Station sent a letter of thanks, saying that you solved three cases in two days, two of which were murder cases!"

"Why don't you go find a temple to pray?"

"Haha~"

Xia Ye smiled slightly and said nothing.

However, I also had some doubts.

Indeed, even without Conan, he encountered many cases. I don't know if it's because he became the protagonist, or if there are just too many criminals in Beika Town or even in Japan.

"Okay, no more kidding!"

Inspector Megure's expression turned serious as he looked at the group of people behind him and said in a deep voice:

"Are all the people involved in this case here?"

"We're all here!"

Takagi Wataru, who had accompanied Inspector Megure to the scene, earnestly reported while holding his police handbook, then hesitated before saying:

"However, Inspector Megure, Mr. Mori seems to have drunk too much and we can't wake him up no matter what we do, so he didn't come. Is that alright?"

Xiao Lan pursed her lips.

I should have listened to Xia Ye and told Dad to drink less. It would be too embarrassing for a famous detective to be so drunk that he couldn't make it to the scene!

"Never mind him!"

Inspector Megure waved his hand, speechless, and said:

"Since Brother Xia Ye is here, let Brother Maoli sleep. Don't disturb him!"

"Yes!"

Half an hour later.

Inspector Megure questioned everyone about their alibis.

"Officer Megure!"

Takagi Wataru, who went to search the hotel where the film crew was staying, returned with a stack of photos and reported:

"We found this in Anxi's luggage!"

Inspector Megure took the photo and saw it was of Shingo Nachi walking out of a hotel with a beautiful woman in an intimate manner. Judging from the angle, it was obviously taken secretly.

"what!"

"This is actress Ritsuko Akiyama!"

"But she's already married!"

Xiaolan was very concerned when she was in the woods.

Unable to suppress his gossip, he secretly glanced at the photo and recognized the actress in it.

"Akiyama?"

Inspector Megure subconsciously glanced at Natsume.

This immediately drew everyone's attention, and soon everyone realized that this police officer also had the surname Akiyama. Could it be that he had some connection with the actress Akiyama Ritsuko?

"What are you looking at me for?"

Xia Ye was speechless:

"I don't know her at all!"

"Oh~"

Inspector Megure had no interest in gossip. He turned to look at Tomoaki Shingo, his chubby face hardening as he said:

0 ··Requesting flowers 0 ··

"Mr. Nachi, is there anything you want to say?"

"Yes, wasn't Mr. Anzai still using these photos to threaten Mr. Nachi in the evening?"

Xiao Lan provided a clue.

Although Natsume said that Nachi Shingo was not the murderer.
