The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 450 Why didn’t Inspector Megure come?

at dusk

Three police cars had already stopped at the bottom of an apartment building, with two police officers left to maintain the scene.

The surrounding residents and passers-by were talking about it, discussing what kind of murder had happened here.

Yes, they were not surprised by this.

If I were born in Mihua and was still surprised by murders, I would be so surprised every day that I wouldn't have time to eat.

Shiramatsu and Sato Miwako brought the last group of police officers to the crime scene.

Shiratori Renzaburo had already arrived here with a group of police officers.

"Inspector Hakuba, the murder weapon should be this vase filled with water and flowers,"

Shiratori Renzaburo held the police manual in his hand, looked at the information recorded on it, and said to Bai Masong beside him,

"I think he must have grabbed the vase placed at the entrance, then sneaked up behind the victim and smashed the back of the victim's head with the vase. Then, he escaped through the door before anyone could come over."

Bai Masong looked at the fat woman lying on the ground in front of him, the broken vase pieces beside her, the scattered flowers and water stains on the ground, and did not answer Shiratori Renzaburo's words.

He remained silent, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at the person related to the case who had just been brought in.

Among these people, there is a middle-aged man who looks like a social animal, the rest are a few familiar kids from the Junior Detective Team, and Dr. Agasa, an old man who likes to take the children for a stroll.

Ugh!

Bai Masong sighed inwardly. Although he had long been accustomed to dealing with murders caused by Conan at work, Conan before was not like this.

There was a kidnapping case yesterday, and a homicide case today. One case a day. Aren’t you tired, God of Death?

Or, do you think that no one died in yesterday's case, so you decided to do it again today?

Tired of heart!

He just took office and he has to play back-to-back games.

Perhaps because he inherited Inspector Megure's position and his weirdness, Hakubamatsu secretly lamented all these things in his heart.

While Bai Ma Song was sighing, the three little ones came in and saw familiar people, and began to greet everyone enthusiastically, calling them "Brother Bai Ma", "Officer Sato", "Officer Takagi", and "Officer Shiratori" one by one.

To be honest, their skilled appearance made the middle-aged people who followed them tremble in their hearts.

However, compared to the three little ones' enthusiastic greetings, Conan found something unusual!

Where is that fat figure in orange clothes who always appears at the crime scene? !

Could it be...

Conan's face darkened, and as he thought about the newspaper he had seen that morning, a possibility came to his mind.

"Brother Bai Ma,"

Conan couldn't wait to ask Bai Masong,

"Why didn't Officer Megure come today?"

Listening to Conan's words, the three little ones suddenly realized this fact, and they all talked at once.

"Eh, it seems so!"

"Yes, yes, why didn't Officer Megure come today?"

"Is he ill?"

......

Faced with the questions from the three little ones and Conan, Sato Miwako and Shiratori Renzaburo both subconsciously glanced at Hakuba Matsu.

Bai Masong's expression remained unchanged. He spoke slowly and calmly,

"Officer Megure has been temporarily suspended."

what? !

Bai Masong's words immediately caused an uproar.

The three little ones exclaimed in disbelief.

"how come?"

"Why was Officer Megure suspended?"

"Did he do something wrong?"

......

Conan didn't say anything, with a look of distress on his face. He felt that he knew the reason.

"Okay, let's talk about this later."

Baimasong's calm voice interrupted the three little ones' wandering thoughts.

Then, Bai Masong turned around and continued to speak to Bai Niao Renzabulang,

"Shiratori, please introduce the victim."

Shiratori Renzaburo was also a little absent-minded at first, but when he heard Bai Masong say this, he shook his head, came back to his senses, and continued,

"The victim at the scene is Miss Izuki Eiko, 46 ​​years old, and a householder living in the same apartment building as here."

"As for why she appeared here, we should ask the owner of this room."

As Shiratori Renzaburo said this, he looked at the middle-aged man standing nearby.

Bai Masong listened to what Bai Niao Renzabulang said and cast a sharp look at the middle-aged man.

"Are you the owner of this room?"

"It's...it's me."

The middle-aged man was swept by Bai Masong's sharp gaze, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I am the owner of this apartment. My name is Hideo Goda."

"Why is the dead man in your house?"

Bai Basong asked Hideo Goda calmly.

Perhaps it was because Baimasong's eyes were too penetrating, or perhaps it was because although Baimasong's words were cold, their coldness made people tremble even more.

Anyway, Hideo Gota shuddered involuntarily and explained quickly,

"I...I borrowed some money from Miss Izuki recently. She came here today to collect the debt from me."

"Well... Officer, you know how difficult it is for middle-aged people like us. In order to get her to forgive me for a few days, I found a videotape that Miss Izuki liked and gave it to her along with the repayment."

"She was so happy that she asked to watch the movie on my big screen."

"then......"

"So, she came to this room and watched the tape here?"

Hakuba Matsu glanced at Hideo Goda, then looked at the victim, Eiko Izuki, who was lying on the ground, and said lightly.

"Yes."

Hideo Goda swallowed and nodded.

For some reason, he felt an inexplicable amount of pressure in his heart when facing the police officer in front of him.

Obviously the police officer didn't do anything, but he...

"How did you find the victim?"

Bai Masong silently put on white gloves and asked casually.

"Yes, we heard the sound of the vase breaking, and then we..."

Hideo Goda planned to explain something to Hakuba Matsu.

However, just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by some lively kids from the Junior Detective Team.

"We heard a vase breaking!"

“There’s also the sound of someone running!”

"Also, the vase on the entrance is missing too!"

......

The three little ones each spoke a sentence with clear division of labor and never repeated themselves.

"Yeah, that's how it is."

Bai Masong squatted down, picked up a few pieces of broken vase, and looked at the posture of the deceased falling.

He continued to talk to a few people.

"So, why are you guys here?"

"You and Mr. Goda don't know each other, do you?"

Although Bai Masong's words were plain, the children were very perceptive and they felt something was wrong.

So, the clever Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko all pushed Conan out at the same time.

"It's Conan! He said he wanted to help Mr. Goda solve the commission!" x3

"Oh?"

Bai Masong stood up, turned around and glanced coldly at Conan who looked confused.

At this time, Professor Agasa who was standing next to him also stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Officer Hakuba, we were planning to take the kids to the amusement park today, but when we went to look for Conan, Mr. Hideo Goda came to the office and wanted to ask Mr. Mori..."

"Yes, yes, but Uncle Maori doesn't accept commissions at all!"

"He's still a famous detective!"

"This is simply a big store bullying customers!"

......

Dr. Agasa was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by the three little ones.

As expected, the children all have the memory of a goldfish. One second they were afraid that Bai Ma Song would blame them, but the next second they couldn’t help but jump out and chatter.

Dr. Agasa was not angry after being interrupted. Instead, he helped Maori Kogoro and said a few words.

"Ahaha, Mr. Maori is usually quite busy, so it's understandable that he doesn't take some small commissions to heart."

"Anyway, Mr. Mori was not going to accept Mr. Goda's commission, so the children volunteered to take it over."

Bai Masong nodded. Such behavior was very rare in the Young Detective Team.

Then, he asked calmly,

"So, what is Mr. Goda's request?"

"Forehead......"

Now it was Hideo Gotada's turn to be embarrassed. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly,

"My request is actually to ask someone to come to my house and help me find the watch left by my ex-wife."
