Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Chapter 394: Kinukawa: When an idol is arrested, will his career be interrupted?

Toru Amuro got out of the car with a grim look on his face, and saw a group of people surrounding the front of the camper van.

"What happened?" Toru Amuro took out his cell phone, skillfully entered Officer Megure's number and was about to dial when he saw the slightly plump college student Takuto Iigo picking up a piece of fence from the ground.

"No one was hit! This must have fallen from above!" Takuto raised half of the fence high up and shook it vigorously with a relieved expression.

"What? I was scared to death!" Fukuura Reiji was also frightened.

"..."

Toru Amuro remained silent, lowered his head, deleted the call to the police, and returned to the car.

"What's going on?" Yin Jiu's mood became better as he received a large amount of emotional points, but he pretended to be curious when asking.

"Nothing, the fence above fell down in the middle of the road, and they thought they hit someone." Amuro Toru stared at the car in front of him and restarted it, then followed forward, "It looks like it was just a false alarm, we should be fine tonight."

It's hard to say.

Yin Jiu smiled shyly and nodded without comment.

The rest of the journey up the mountain was just as Amuro Toru said, and nothing else happened.

However, just as they were returning to the mountainside to take pictures, something unexpected happened.

-

"The deceased is Shirafuji Taimi, 22 years old, a college student." Officer Megure half-knelt and shone a flashlight on Shirafuji's body to make it easier for other police officers to take pictures.

Toru Amuro also went over to take a few glances, and then came back with a depressed look, "You're right, we'll be able to go back soon."

"Really?" Yin Jiu had just gotten out of the car and took a coat from the back seat and put it on.

"Yes, it was a homicide. The murderer is almost certain." Amuro Toru sighed resignedly, "I'm afraid we missed some details when the car braked. If we had known earlier, we should have checked more. Maybe the person could have been saved at that time."

"I think the person was dead at that time, otherwise there would at least be signs of struggle." Yin Jiu has his own opinion.

When the body appeared on the road, he remembered which episode of Conan it was.

My impression of the plot is that the murderer would tie the victim to the car, and then let the victim fall off the cliff when Ayumi and the others opened the sunroof of the camper.

This operation seems foolproof on the surface, but the reality deviates from the plot. With the addition of these "drags" behind the car, the difficulty of killing people will only increase exponentially.

The first question is how did the murderer hide the fact so that the people in the car behind could not see the body falling?

While Yin Jiu frowned and thought, Conan had already run up to them. "Brother Yin Jiu, your car was following behind. Did you see anything strange fall when you braked suddenly?"

"Strange things? You mean Miss Taimei's body or something like that?" Yin Jiu squatted down to make himself the same height as Conan. "When your car braked suddenly, I was chatting with Brother Tou. If there was really something thrown off, it would be difficult to see clearly in such a dark night in just a few seconds."

"But considering that the victim, Ms. Taimei, was originally wearing light-colored clothing, and her hair color, if she was hanging on the front roof before the car braked suddenly, it would be difficult to completely ignore her. So you might as well go and look for her. Maybe the murderer used some other color to cover her up."

Yin Jiu gave his own suggestion. In the original work, it was Conan who first discovered the bloody plastic mat and then determined the murderer's method of committing the crime.

Because of their intervention, unlike in the comics, when Kinukawa Kazuki decided to join the dinner, he asked his agent to bring up a lot of food from the foot of the mountain.

Yin Jiu did not carefully check what was purchased, but the suspect's car was already following the agent's car.

It is also possible that Tiantang Qinghua had already made contingency preparations at that time and had smuggled props with her for the crime at night.

"From the external marks, it seems that the deceased may have hit the fence because the road was too dark and he didn't have time to brake." Officer Megure and Takagi circled the mountain and returned to the starting point of the report. "But there are no signs of braking on the tire marks before the car hit the fence."

"So suicide still can't be ruled out?" Officer Takagi's eyes lit up, and the pen in his hand quickly recorded, adding the word "pending" after the suicide option that was originally crossed out.

Inspector Megure also thought this was a possibility, but the moment he caught a glimpse of Conan and his group out of the corner of his eye, he rationally and forcefully denied his own guess.

"There's no need to choose such a 'hidden' method to commit suicide." Officer Megure coughed dryly, "And didn't the deceased want to record the memories of watching fireworks with Yin Jiu, so he went up the mountain alone in advance to set up the camera? If he was planning to commit suicide from the beginning, he probably wouldn't be in the mood to take a photo with a celebrity as a souvenir, right?"

"That... makes sense." Officer Takagi carefully checked the case records. It was indeed the deceased himself who initially proposed to take a photo with Yin Jiu and Kinukawa Kazuki.

"Then the suspects can basically be narrowed down to the other three people who traveled with the victim." Officer Megure lowered his voice and analyzed with Officer Takagi behind his back to the crowd.

On the other side, Kinukawa Kazuki's face also looked a little unhappy.

"What should I do, Brother Yin Jiu? Do you think I'm in trouble?"

He listened to the conversation of the others, and suddenly he remembered that several suspects had already acted with his agent before they met.

Moreover, they also bought things in the small supermarket. Kinukawa didn't know whether his agent was present when the group of people bought the "murder weapon".

But later, everyone ate together and all the purchased utensils were mixed together.

So if his agent's or his own fingerprints were found on the murder weapon, they wouldn't be considered accomplices, right?

Thinking of this, Kinukawa Kazuki's body trembled slightly, and even his voice began to tremble, "If an idol is arrested by the police, will his career be completely interrupted?"

Yin Jiu: “…” It’s already this time, and the first thing this idiot cares about is his own career?

You can't believe he's quite ambitious!

Conan, who had also finished checking the scene, had found some clues and was about to ask Kinukawa Kazuki some questions when he heard this. The corners of his mouth twitched.

"You won't get caught."

"Even if you accidentally bought the murder weapon the murderer needed, you did not conspire with the other party in a subjective sense. In this case, you can't be considered an accomplice." Conan put his hand on Kinukawa's shoulder and spoke with the tone of an experienced person.

"Compared to this, you might as well worry about the criminal suddenly remembering that you might have some evidence against him and killing you..."

"No, that's not the case... Aren't they my fans?" Kinukawa trembled.

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe they are just pretending to be your fans?" Yin Jiu, who was originally uninterested, suddenly felt Juanchuan's emotional fluctuations and couldn't help but add a sentence.

"And with so many kids here, if they were to take someone hostage, they would probably choose you since you're the most famous."
