The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

The sound of camera shutters clicking could be heard, and white lines had been drawn under the deceased's body, marking the posture and location of death.

As for the body, it has been loaded into a vehicle and is ready for further autopsy.

Speaking of which, one really has to admire how enlightened this world is.

In the real world, even in the supposedly free United States, the number of corpses that a forensic pathologist can dissect is extremely limited, severely hindering the progress of the discipline of autopsy.

Ultimately, it all comes down to people's deep affection for their loved ones.

It's not just in China that people have the idea of ​​burial for peace; most people don't want their loved ones to be put on the operating table and tormented after death, unable to rest in peace.

even if,

This is done in order to find out the truth.

As Kaoru Kazama suddenly became sentimental, he noticed the deceased's girlfriend wiping away tears beside him.

She is currently being questioned by Inspector Megure.

Chapter 403 An Indescribable Awkwardness

"You mean, the reason you're taking pictures outside so late is to show people what your boyfriend's place looks like?"

Inspector Megure repeated the testimony of Ms. Shimoda, the deceased's girlfriend.

"Yes, actually this is my first time here today. I was planning to take a few photos and then go back to my room, but who knew, who knew that something like this would happen."

As she spoke, the woman burst into tears again, sobbing uncontrollably.

The scene of her boyfriend's tragic death before her eyes clearly had a huge impact on her.

Although Inspector Megure is married, he still struggles to handle such a sensitive and vulnerable woman.

After giving a signal to Takagi, who had already become a master of manuals and a confidant, Takagi, who was striving to become his boss's confidante, immediately understood and began to comfort the older sister whose boyfriend had suddenly passed away.

Soon, Takagi summoned the people the two deceased had been in contact with before they fell from the building.

Although we didn't get to see the horrific state of Takai before his death, we could already imagine it just from the human figure drawn on the ground with white lines and the large patch of blood around his head.

"Are you two Mr. Kawakami and Mr. Nakamachi?"

"Yes."

The man with the buzz cut and a very round chin was Nakamachi, who sent the text message to the deceased.

As for the one with a bright red, bulbous nose, a flushed face, and a strong smell of alcohol, that was Noboru Kawakami.

"Let me think, it's probably around 5:20."

Nakamachi touched his round chin, then rubbed his short hair before answering.

"And what about you?"

"I was completely drunk at the time, and it was Nakamachi who helped me out, so I don't know the exact time."

"If it's around 5 o'clock, Conan, you'll be downstairs around 6:30. So, Ms. Tian, ​​were you taking pictures downstairs for almost an hour, from 5:20 to 6:00?"

Kaoru Kazama thought for a moment and then asked.

"No, because Mr. Kawakami and Mr. Nakamachi were drunk, I drove my boyfriend Takai's car to take them home."

That's right.

Nakamachi and Kawakami both nodded in agreement.

"So what brings you here?"

"Actually, we were holding a small celebration party at the section chief's house to celebrate Section Chief Takai's promotion to manager."

"I see. It seems that the possibility of suicide can be basically ruled out."

Generally speaking, this is a time of great success and triumph. Not showing off everywhere is already a sign of self-discipline, so how could one rashly commit suicide?

The deceased was not a patient with depression, so how could he suddenly have suicidal thoughts?

Then, in the testimonies of the two people, another person was implicated.

Hiraya Junyo, who also worked under Takai, committed suicide a month earlier.

This Hiraya Junyo was Takanoka-cho's senior for two years, and was also the deceased's and Kawakami Noboru's university classmate.

Kaoru Kazama noticed the sadness in Nakamachi's eyes as Noboru Kawakami recounted the fact.

"Could there be some kind of emotional connection involved?"

The idea of ​​harboring feelings for a senior and seeking revenge is a common trope.

However, such subjective will cannot be used as evidence in a case.

Furthermore, the deceased Hiraya Junyo joined the company in the same year as the deceased's girlfriend, Shimoda. In other words, all the people involved in this case were employees of the same company.

According to the description given by this red-nosed man, the deceased Takai was clearly a person of questionable character.

They frequently berate their subordinates, fawn over their superiors, and are solely driven by self-interest.

Kawakami Noboru, who spoke the truth while drunk, said all of this, and Nakamachi, who was more composed, did not deny it either.

He simply added a sentence from his text message, which was to ask the deceased to consider the feelings of their subordinates.

"Then why did she commit suicide?"

Suicide is not a matter under the jurisdiction of the First Investigation Division, so they were unaware of it.

"It's because the workload is too heavy. Section Chief Takai once said that if you can't perform better than others, you'll be dismissed. I think she couldn't stand it because she took that statement too seriously."

The same guy with the red nose was still talking; the excessive alcohol had clearly overstimulated his speech center, and he kept babbling on and on.

However, the police were quite happy to see this, since he had provided confidential information and clues, and it would have taken them a lot of effort to investigate.

However, Takagi's recording speed was clearly starting to fall behind.

The young man still lacks some training.

"That's why I called this guy to express my dissatisfaction. I said on the phone that Hiraya committed suicide because of you. You got to where you are now by stepping on our blood. I guess Takai was provoked by what I said back then and jumped off the building!"

Driven by alcohol, his emotions gradually spiraled out of control. His pupils dilated, and he uttered those words with hatred and even a hint of smugness.

Generally speaking, people tend to say things that are in their own interest.

Information that is unfavorable to oneself will be subconsciously hidden.

This is why the police sometimes use intimidation tactics during interrogations—to prevent such situations from occurring and misleading the investigation.

However, humans are complex animals.

Often, we tend to think of simple things in a complicated way.

In this situation, the more evidence presented is unfavorable to oneself, the more likely it is to be subconsciously ignored.

Judging from the circumstances of Mr. Kawakami's death, if it was not an accident, then he must have fallen into a trap carefully designed by the murderer, resulting in his tragic death.

From any perspective, it's highly unlikely that this was something a drunkard who had lost control of his emotions would do.

"So, Mr. Takai is you..."

Takagi looked up in surprise, clearly taking Kawakami Noboru's words as the real cause of Takai's death.

"That's right, it wouldn't be wrong to say that I indirectly killed Takai."

To everyone's surprise, this guy actually admitted to indirectly causing Takai's death.

“But, officer, I didn’t tell Takai to die right now, and everything I said was the truth. So, it shouldn’t count as murder, right?”

Surprisingly, the drunk Kawakami Noboru was surprisingly logical and stood in front of Inspector Megure, calmly stating his innocence.

This behavior made Kaoru Kazama slowly frown.

Compared to the great detective's meticulous observation skills and reasoning method of piecing together the complete truth from fragmented clues and evidence, this is a far cry from the detective's meticulous observation skills.

Kaoru Kazama's enhanced intuition, a result of his strong five senses, allows him to more clearly perceive a person's inner inclinations.

Or rather, it's a perception of malice.

She felt something was off about Noboru Kawakami.

An indescribable awkwardness.

Chapter 404

"Hey, where are Conan and Heiji Hattori?"

Did it disappear in such a short time?

Following Conan, even Heiji Hattori has become a professional missing person.

"Officer, they both went upstairs."

One of the officers said to Kaoru Kazama, "It looks like the two of them got there first."

"Then, Boss Megure, let's go too. We can't let the detective from Osaka beat us to it."

"That's true."

After a moment's thought, Inspector Megure spoke, then led everyone directly to the twenty-first floor where the incident had occurred.

The competition between Kanto and Kansai, and between Tokyo and Osaka, can be felt in every aspect.

I believe that if I were to go to Osaka to solve a serial murder case, they would send their best helpers.

It's the same principle; you can't let others steal the spotlight on your own turf.

Take the elevator directly to the deceased Takai's residence, which is also next door to Ms. Judy.

Room 213, 21st floor.

Upon seeing the three familiar figures at the door, one of them, with a voluptuous figure and her shirt loosely tied at the chest, revealing a large expanse of skin, was none other than Ms. Judy.

Seeing this outfit, Kaoru Kazama could guess what it was all about.

I bet this FBI agent was flirting with these two detectives. He acted all innocent on the surface, but he was probably secretly laughing at their inexperienced performance.

"Have you guys investigated the scene yet?"

The three people were all in the same position, resting their chins on their hands as if deep in thought.
