Conan Edogawa went to the basement.
How troublesome!
Satsuki Itō facepalmed and looked at the long staircase. She couldn't help but silently mourn for her own stamina.
Fine!
This was far from a burden to her.
Ito Shutsuki sighed softly with a smile on her face. She walked down the stairs as if she was taking a stroll.
He was different from her.
Conan was very anxious.
He directly used his solar skateboard and used the handrail of the stairs to slide to the bottom in one breath.
Their previous position was on the left side. After Conan picked up the skateboard and determined their position, he quickly ran in that direction.
Nojima-san, you have to be alive!
He was looking forward to it.
When Satsuki Itō walked down the stairs, he passed by an indifferent girl with long black hair.
The young girl seemed to have noticed something. After turning around to look at her, she continued walking.
Xiao Ye.
Satsuki Itō did not stop. She recognized the girl.
He also saw the bloodstains on her face.
Officer Mugo probably had another case that he couldn't solve.
She thought.
When Ito Shutsuki found Conan Edogawa, he was standing next to the corpse. His expression was solemn, and under the cover of his bangs, there was a hint of pain and self-reproach that wasn't obvious.
"As expected, he's dead." Satsuki Itō stated calmly.
Conan looked up at her.
"Itō," he said her name softly.
"You've met him, haven't you?
Before I find Noshima-san. "His tone was mature and firm.
"Yes." Satsuki Itō did not deny it.
She didn't seem to have anything to explain.
Conan couldn't help but frown.
He could feel that when he confronted Mr. Nojima, Mr. Nojima had lost control of his emotions.
"I should have noticed it earlier."
"Those people who were originally near him also left because of you, right?" Conan's face finally showed an expression of gratitude.
"Thank you." Otherwise, the casualties this time would have been even greater.
Satsuki Itō froze for a moment, then she slowly shook her head. "It's not me." She looked at the corpse on the ground.
"He was the one who scared everyone away."
He remembered that Nojima was lying on the ground at that time.
He also had a fruit knife in his hand.
Conan revealed an expression that said, "So that's how it is."
Speaking of which, Satsuki Itō should be quite skilled.
Although she used unscientific methods more often.
Conan tried to recall what had happened.
He had saved him just now.
There was also the time when they went to the Mysterious Forest not long ago, when Mr. Tamiya tried to stab her.
These were not things that ordinary people could do.
The door of the building was opened, and the people who were trapped inside went out. The police outside could finally come in.
They split into two groups. Some went upstairs, while Officer Mugo brought people underground.
Officer Mugo guessed that there might be casualties because of such a serious collapse. He also went straight in this direction.
In the end, he ran into Conan and Satsuki Itō.
Conan told Officer Mugo the truth.
Nojima had confessed to his crimes, including killing those people on the top floor, including the bomb.
Unfortunately, the ground suddenly collapsed at that time.
No matter who he was, no matter what crime he committed, he should not die before being punished by the law.
The matter here was almost settled.
A police officer came over and whispered a few words to Officer Mugo. Officer Mugo's expression immediately became serious.
Under Conan's questioning, Officer Mugo told them the situation: they found another corpse in this basement.
They ruled out the possibility that it was caused by falling from the top floor.
Conan and Officer Mugo rushed to the scene together.
The deceased was known to everyone present.
It was the Seven Yuan Literati who had been broadcasting on TV recently.
seventh
Heaven, the young president of the Japanese district.
"Mr. Seven Yuan is the owner of this building." Officer Takagi suddenly thought of something and said, "No wonder I couldn't get through to him just now."
"He wasn't dead just now." Conan's voice suddenly came from the body.
"You see …" He stretched out his finger, which was still clearly bloodstained. "The blood hasn't dried yet."
The time of death … should be around when he went downstairs.
Conan made such a judgment.
It wouldn't be when the ground collapsed because there was broken debris under the body.
The blood was also spilled on it.
Conan didn't see any suspicious people. Although the police came directly, they also didn't see any suspicious people.
Conan looked at Satsuki Itō thoughtfully.
"Sister Shuoyue." It was a very innocent child's voice.
When Ito Shuizuki heard this, she knew that Conan wanted to talk to her about something.
She even knew what it was.
"Did you see any suspicious people?"
"He committed suicide." Satsuki Itō didn't look at Qi Yuan's body. She just leaned against the side of the wall.
He calmly and confidently stated another fact.
The heart was pierced by a sharp blade.
There was no murder weapon nearby.
In such a situation, no matter who it was, would they think it was suicide?
Conan stared at the body over there and gradually became serious.
Mr. Seven Yuan's mouth was smiling, his expression was sad, but it could still give people a sense of satisfaction.
He was able to maintain this appearance even after death.
Maybe …
"Why do you think so?" Conan didn't think Itō had the chance to see this.
"He's really an unexpectedly infatuated person." Satsuki Itō smiled softly.
Then, she said with some emotion, "Even I didn't think he would do this."
Hey!
Conan silently complained in his heart.
This guy is deliberately mystifying, this has not changed at all.
Mr. Seven Yuan's suicide was for a woman he liked.
This is the meaning of Satsuki Itō's words.
However, Conan felt that there were more unexplainable questions.
"Who is the woman he likes?" Conan decided to continue to ask.
"Why are you so sure it's a woman?" Satsuki Itō tilted her head, with a 'you guessed wrong' expression.
"She's not human.
She has the blood of God.
She's a creature called the Mermaid Hunter. "
Mermaid Hunter?
Is it the kind of thing that can't be explained by science?
Conan couldn't help but black lines.
Shouldn't mermaids and mermaids exist in myths and legends?
Do they really exist?
This year he received more new things than he did in the previous sixteen years combined.
"The Mermaid is not like the legends.
It feeds on humans.
The Mermaid Hunter can only feed on them. "Satsuki Itō shrugged indifferently.
"Because, the Mermaid Hunter has a curse on them since ancient times."
"The number of Mermaids is not too small." Satsuki Itō raised the corner of his lips.
"But for the Mermaid Hunter who can only survive by eating them, sooner or later there will be no food to eat."
"Mr. Seven Yuan is trying to prevent such a thing from happening."
Until now, Conan Edogawa still felt that this kind of thing was a bit strange.
But he could already accept it slowly.
"What kind of curse is it?" He quickly grasped the key point.
Satsuki Itō looked at him with appreciation.
"No matter what happens, the Mermaid Hunter can't hurt humans.
Unless there's a human willing to die for her. "
Conan understood everything.
However, his expression turned even uglier.
Because … if everything Satsuki Itō said was true.
The Mermaid Hunter's curse has been broken.
"The situation may not be so bad." Satsuki Itō looked at the body in the distance.
"This is really thanks to Mr. Qi Yuan's sparing no effort."
He is no longer human.
It seems that Mr. Seven Yuan has done a lot of other experiments.
Conan looked at her suspiciously, but this time Satsuki Itō didn't seem to want to explain.
Conan had no way, so he had to give up asking for the time being.
Officer Mugo was still searching for clues.
Officer Takagi also quietly came over to ask Conan if he had any special ideas.
Conan finally returned to the body.
He had a feeling that Satsuki Itō was telling the truth.
But even if it was true, he had to find evidence.
Conan made up his mind, and he carefully observed Qi Yuan's body and his surroundings.
"Ahhhh!" Little Conan suddenly shouted loudly.
He pointed to Qi Yuan's arm and said to the police next to him.
"It's strange.
It's completely different from the other side. "
"It's probably because he resisted before he died." Officer Mugo just said such a thing.
Then he made that gesture, trying to give Conan a demonstration.
Officer Mugo's movements suddenly stopped.
He found that such a gesture could not be a resistance at all.
Did he die in the process of arguing with others?
A weapon that could penetrate his whole body.
It didn't look like a mistake.
"This uncle's expression is so happy!" Conan suddenly added another sentence.
His voice gradually changed from a child's voice to a somewhat mature one.
"It's like having a good dream."
Officer Mugo heard him say that, and he also stared at the body.
"But who was the person with him just now?
Where did the murder weapon go? "He still expressed his confusion.
"If only Maori bro or Kudo bro were here."
After Officer Mugo sighed, he suddenly remembered, "Conan, have you seen brother Kudo?"
Shinichi Kudo should be in this building now.
Conan suddenly realized the problem.
Then he smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Shinichi gege said he had something urgent and left first."
