Chapter 72 Who told you I like pink things!
"The murderer can't have gone far!" Kogoro Mori shouted, looking at the wide-open, even shaking window.
Conan and Kogoro Mouri leaped to the window and peered down, but they couldn't see a single person.
Besides, this is the 12th floor; it's impossible to jump from here to the 1st floor.
The police quickly cordoned off the scene, and Conan and his friends were all shocked by what had happened.
A person was murdered just a dozen meters away from them, and the murderer disappeared without a trace in a short time.
"Speaking of which, a few minutes ago I heard what sounded like someone had fallen down coming from this place," a junior policeman recalled, stroking his chin.
“I heard that too!” another young policeman raised his hand in agreement.
Listening to their testimonies, Conan also secretly slipped into the room to start looking for clues.
He noticed a bruise on the victim's right wrist, which looked like it had been hit or kicked by something, and there was a handgun not far from the victim's body.
Conan stroked his chin, guessing that the deceased must have been holding a gun, but it was kicked away by the murderer... The questions are: why did the deceased have a gun? What was the connection between the deceased and the murderer? What was the motive? And how did the murderer escape...?
As he was thinking, Conan squatted down and began rummaging through the deceased's pockets. Then, Kogoro Mouri, who noticed him, picked him up and threw him out of the room.
I haven't finished my investigation yet!
Conan was reluctant to leave.
"What's going on here?"
A familiar voice came from above. Conan turned around and saw that it was Ryuzawa.
"It's a murder case." Conan grabbed Ryuzawa's outstretched hand and stood up, dusting himself off. Then he looked at Bai Yexiu and asked, "By the way, where did you go on the street? Did you get lost?"
"Uh..." Bai Yexiu feigned an embarrassed expression: "How could that be..."
Conan's half-moon eyes: They were clearly lost, and we just found them...
Seeing Conan's disbelieving look, Bai Yexiu didn't refute him, but simply pretended to be embarrassed and turned his head away from Conan.
Because that was his purpose—to use this reaction to make Conan assume that he had an alibi.
After the conversation with Conan, the police investigation was nearly complete. Inspector Yokomizo, holding a small notebook, read aloud their findings to Kogoro Mouri: "First, there was a handgun not far from the victim. Second, the murderer was killed by having his throat slashed with a sharp knife. Third, none of the victim's belongings or those in the room were missing, except for the victim's cell phone..."
"It seems he wasn't killed for money..." Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin and began to ponder.
The deceased's phone? Of course, it can't be found—
Because that phone was currently in the inner pocket of Bai Yexiu's clothes.
Bai Yexiu crossed his arms, a smile playing on his lips.
Conan, meanwhile, kept his head down, deep in thought.
Although Bai Yexiu returned to the crime scene to watch the excitement after finishing his business, he didn't really want to stay there with them for too long.
He still needs to carefully examine Bellini's phone in a little while, and then write a report to submit.
He felt that it was absurd for the organization to make him write a report after killing an undercover agent; it was like asking him to kill someone and then having him write a reflection.
"I'm off now, good luck." Bai Yexiu waved to Conan: "If I'm any later, I won't be able to rent a room anywhere else."
Conan watched Bai Yexiu's departing figure and thought for a moment—it makes sense, because it's a festival today, and there are quite a lot of tourists here to participate in the festival. This small hotel is fully booked, not to mention other hotels.
Once out of Conan's sight, Bai Yexiu took out Bellini's phone and began to browse through it.
By the time he arrived at the other hotel, he had successfully turned Bellini's phone upside down and submitted a 200-word report.
So when can the rule that requires writing reports to complete tasks be removed?
Looking at the remaining dozen or so tasks on his task list, Bai Yexiu realized that he still had more than ten reports to write...
Bai Yexiu: I'm exhausted.
……
A little over a week later, Bai Yexiu boarded the train back to Tokyo.
A dozen seconds later, the familiar trio also boarded the train.
Ran Mouri, who had just boarded the train, immediately noticed Hakuya Osamu not far away. She patted Conan and said, "Conan, it's Ryuzawa-kun! Do you want to go up and say hello?"
Before Conan could even make a move, Bai Yexiu turned around and greeted them: "What a coincidence."
"Is Ryuzawa-kun alone?" Ran Mouri asked, noticing that Bai Yexiu was all alone.
"I came by myself, of course I'm all alone," Bai Yexiu said with an innocent smile.
Ran Mouri was quite surprised. She thought that Ryuzawa had come here with family or friends, but she didn't expect that he came alone.
Bai Yexiu pulled Conan to his seat and asked tentatively, "By the way, how's that case going? Has the culprit been found?"
Upon hearing this, Conan shook his head in disappointment: "No, the murderer is too cunning. The hotel's surveillance footage has no clues at all, and the front desk also said that they did not see any suspicious people leaving the hotel. All the guests and hotel staff near the crime scene have been questioned, but there is no suspect at all. It's as if the murderer has vanished into thin air."
Seeing Conan's extremely serious expression, Bai Yexiu knew that this case would definitely be very difficult for Conan.
"If the case hasn't been solved, why have you come back?"
"There's no other way. We've been investigating for over a week without a single clue. We can't just stay here indefinitely." Then, Conan changed the subject: "By the way, why have you been here for so long?"
"Me?" Bai Yexiu lowered his head and pulled out a bunch of souvenirs he had bought from under his seat. "Of course, I'm going to travel around!"
"..." It seems like something Longze would do.
Conan stared speechlessly at Ryuzawa, who was now enthusiastically introducing the pile of souvenirs.
“…Oh, right!” Bai Yexiu pulled a large pink teddy bear out of a bag: “Didn’t you say you liked pink things? I bought this especially for you!”
"Hey!" Conan finally snapped. "Who told you I like pink things?!" Don't just make things up out of thin air!
