Chapter 743 How Much Suffered
When Chu Ming was passing by Conan and Okiya Subaru, he could still see a playful smile on his face.
Shira also sensed the unusual atmosphere between them, and with his eyes lowered, it was unknown what he was thinking.
It was just a small incident, and everyone tacitly kept it to themselves and walked out the door.
Because they stayed in the Kudo residence for too long, it was already evening when they arrived at the crime scene this morning.
Although a body was found here in the morning, the police treated it as a theft case, so there were no police officers stationed here and the area was not cordoned off by guardrails.
Conan borrowed a few coins from Xiaolan, squatted down, and placed the coins one by one on the gap of the word "death" on the ground. As Conan moved, the gap of the bloody word on the ground was filled with coins: "That's what Shinichi brother said in the message he sent me. The deceased did die of ruptured varicose veins due to liver cirrhosis. The wallet he used to buy beer fell down, and the coins were scattered everywhere. Together with the cigarette in his hand and the blood he shed, they just happened to form the word "death" by accident."
"And you didn't find these things when you passed by the scene. Someone must have passed by here after his death and picked up the wallet and the money on the ground, which made the scene look like a murder."
Sonoko suddenly realized: "No wonder Officer Takagi said this case was classified as a theft case, so that's how it is... But in the case ten years ago, I didn't hear that the man's wallet was stolen?"
"It should be candy." Shira took out the photo he had just taken ten years ago and pointed to the candies in the corner of the photo. "The first person who discovered the dead was a child named Nishimura. He grew up in a temple, so when he found out the director was dead, he offered him six copper coins needed to cross the Sanchuan Road. But he was still a child after all, so when he didn't have any copper coins, he offered candies that were similar in shape to copper coins."
"Yes, it is said that there is a clothes-snatching woman on the Sanchuan Road. If the dead soul does not bring six coins to offer, the clothes-snatching woman will strip him of his clothes and send him to hell." Conan held the phone and looked at the message on the phone. "After confirming the truth, my father informed the police immediately because he was afraid that the matter would cause trouble to the child after being known by the media, so he did not announce the details of the case to the public, and my father-"
Xiaolan looked at Conan and called him "Dad" all the time. Although she was holding up her phone and seemed to be reading a message, the familiarity in her tone was real. There seemed to be a faint gleam of light in her eyes, trembling slightly.
She was afraid that all this was just a figment of her imagination, that she was missing him so much that she imagined all this...
If what she guessed was true, and Conan was really Shinichi, who had turned from an adult into a child, then how much suffering Shinichi must have suffered in places she didn't know about...
The closer she got to the truth, the less she dared to push open the door.
Chu Ming reached out his hand and touched Conan's head, rubbing it hard, interrupting the spell and indicating that he was about to blow himself up: "That's why Uncle Yusaku said that this case would never happen again, because he knew that all this was just a coincidence."
Conan immediately realized what Chu Ming was reminding him of, and quickly made up for it: "Yes, yes, that's what Shinichi-niang said on his phone. I was just reading the message that Shinichi-niang sent."
What a good example of trying to cover up one's own guilt.
Chu Ming smiled, and the devil whispered: "So it seems that Uncle Yusaku has overturned his car? He clearly said ten years ago that this case would not happen again~"
Conan's mouth twitched. What a magical angle Chu Ming has!
"Okay, everything is solved, but it's a pity that although the case was solved, the thief was not caught..." Sonoko felt a little regretful, "Otherwise, wouldn't I, the queen of reasoning, have one more achievement?"
Conan doesn't even want to complain about Sonoko anymore. It was clearly the case that was solved by Kudo Shinichi. What does it have to do with you...
Shira didn't know what he found. He lay on the ground, holding a handkerchief and reaching under the vending machine, and took out a coin: "Look what I found! This must have been accidentally dropped under the vending machine when the criminal was picking up the change. There is blood on it. If the fingerprints on the coin were left by someone with a criminal record, the Metropolitan Police Department will soon be able to--"
"Of course we have." Three hooligans walked out slowly from the darkness. "Violence, injury, and intimidation. The three of us have three criminal records combined. Add theft, and there are four in total. So, little sister, can you return the coin to us? It's only ten yen."
"It's right under the vending machine, and the police didn't find it?" Chu Ming looked at the 10 yen coin in Shiliang's handkerchief in disbelief, and at the same time he looked down on those hooligans: "You picked up yuan? Are you so poor?"
Several thugs seemed to be irritated by Chu Ming's words. The leader narrowed his eyes and made a ferocious expression: "Little white face, who do you think you are? How dare you mock us brothers like this? But you are quite lucky, the three girls are all pretty good. After we deal with you, we will help you to love them well."
Shiliang sneered and flicked the coin off the handkerchief: "Here it is for you, come and pick it up?"
Seeing the coin flying up and unable to see its trajectory, the gangster got angry and punched Shiliang directly: "Damn it, what are you doing?"
Before his fist could hit anyone, his outstretched hand was easily blocked by Sera, and at the same time, a white fist continued to enlarge in his sight.
Duang——
On the other side, the gangster with a lip ring saw his boss being knocked down, and immediately took out the baton he was carrying. Before he could use it, Xiaolan kicked the man down with one kick.
When the last gangster saw that the situation was not right, he set his sights on Yuanzi, who was hiding in the corner and looking over here. After confirming from his eyes that this was a weak man, he held a knife in one hand and was about to strangle Yuanzi's neck with the other hand.
But just when he was about to take action, Chu Ming appeared behind him at some point, raised his hand to grab the back of his neck through his collar, and used the force to knock him against the wall next to him.
He didn't even need to exert any effort; he fell down as softly as noodles.
But in an instant, all the thugs were dealt with, and the coin thrown up by Sera slowly fell down and was caught by Sera with one hand.
Yuanzi patted her chest with lingering fear: "I'm so scared, you all can fight, and now I'm the only weakling left. If I had known earlier, I should have learned karate with Xiaolan."
"Although you can't fight, you have money. Why don't you just spend some money to hire some bodyguards?" Chu Ming said jokingly. After knocking down the gangster, they immediately called the police. The police were expected to arrive soon. He didn't want to waste time on taking statements. "It should be enough for you to take the statement. I won't go. This place is not far from my company. I'll go around the company."
