Conan: When I Be Gin's Brother

"Hmm? Brother Kurosawa Rin, do you know this person?"

The scene in front of him made Officer Megure a little surprised. Kurosawa Rin laughed dryly and said, "We know each other."

"Officer Megure, this person's name is not Taeko Mazue. The Taeko you are talking about should be a staff member on the same crew as Anzai Morio, right there... eh?"

Kurosawa Rin looked at the crowd and saw that the figure of Taeko Mazuheng had long since disappeared.

"It was still there just now." He muttered. He kept staring at her, but he was distracted by Li Mo's affairs, and when he looked again, he disappeared.

He must have escaped? Kurosawa Rin thought so, without paying attention, he looked at Officer Megure again.

Megure looked at Li Mo behind Kurosawa Rin in confusion: "Then what does he do, and why does he appear on Anzai Morio's body?"

Kurosawa Rin paused. He really didn't know why Li Mo appeared here, but what was certain was that this guy had received some kind of commission that made him come all the way from Kyoto to the Rice Flower Shrine.

"...I don't know, but I'm sure he's definitely not a murderer."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Officer Megure looked suspicious, "You know that when the body was just discovered, this man was sitting on the body with a knife in his hand. There is a high possibility that he is the prisoner."

"This... alas, Officer Memu, you don't know something." He sighed, leaned into Officer Memu's ear, and whispered:

"This man is a psychopath, here." He gestured to his head with his hand, "There is something wrong!"

"Eh?" Mumu looked at Li Mo in front of him again. The young man was quite handsome, he didn't look like a madman.

Li Mo, who had been silent all this time, seemed to have realized something and started to defend himself, "I didn't kill this man. He was already under my butt when I came out of the house."

Officer Memu caught one word very keenly, "Huh? Turn it out?"

The corner of Kurosawa Rin's mouth twitched. He remembered that thieves seemed to be stealing things from the shrine recently. Could it be this idiot?

Facing Officer Memu's question, Li Mo said expressionlessly, "Well, dig it out from the roof of the warehouse."

This guy really tells the truth in everything he says.

"Why did it come out from the roof of the warehouse?"

"Because I received a commission to come here to steal magic items!"

"..." Officer Memu's original solemn expression disappeared instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly: "Huh? Magic props?"

"Yeah! Magic props!" Li Mo defended himself with a serious face, "So, I didn't kill anyone."

"..." Kurosawa Rin covered his face. What the hell is this guy talking about? Moreover, is there any direct connection between stealing magic items and not killing anyone?

But, magic items?

This attracted Rin Kurosawa's attention. The Hand of Severance in his hand was a very good magic prop. Li Mo just said that he had been commissioned to steal something at Mihua Shrine. Are there really magic props here?

Officer Momu sighed and looked at Kurosawa Rin, "Brother Kurosawa, it seems you are right."

This young man looks quite energetic, but I didn't expect him to be a psychopath.

"Really, why didn't his family take good care of him and let him go?" Mu Mu complained secretly.

Li Mo: "?"

While everyone was talking, Conan quietly slipped under the crowd, ran to the body and began to examine the body.

He just seemed to have heard Officer Megure say that the murderer was Taeko Mazuheng. How could this be possible? That girl was going to get married next month. How could she give up her own bright future and run away to kill someone?

"There must be a mistake somewhere!" Miss Taeko must have been framed.

Conan gritted his teeth, determined to clarify for Miss Taeko and find the real murderer, but as he got closer to the body, his face became more and more serious.

The truth deduced in his mind all proves that Taeko Doumo is the murderer.

While Conan was thinking, Officer Megure thought for a while and continued: "But he is still suspected of killing Mr. Anzai?"

Kurosawa Rin sighed quietly, "Hasn't Officer Megure figured out the truth of the matter yet? It's already so obvious!"

He dragged Mumu to the body, "First of all, there are the wounds on the body, including a penetrating wound to the abdomen, a head injury from being hit with a heavy object, and several bruises on the body."

"The fatal injury was a wound on the abdomen. Judging from the degree of tearing of the wound, it should have experienced a second trauma or even a third trauma, which eventually led to visceral rupture and death from excessive blood loss."

He pulled Officer Megure back and came to the main entrance of the shrine. He pointed to a few sporadic blood stains and a large blood stain on the stone bricks, "The body is in front of the warehouse. Why is there so much blood stain here?"

Mu Mu thought for a while, "Is it because the prisoner moved the body away?"

"No." Kurosawa Rin shook his head, "After Mr. Anxi was stabbed, a lot of blood was left here. The prisoner may have thought that Mr. Anxi was dead and left the scene, but Mr. Anxi was not actually dead at this time.

In order to avoid the murderer, he moved to the door of the warehouse and called the police."

Having said this, he looked at the old man with a complicated expression on the side, "Grandpa, when you found the thief, what was the thief doing?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, "I... I didn't see it very clearly at first. I only knew that the man was squatting at the door and sneaking around, so I just hit him on the head and gave him a stick... Could it be?"

He seemed to suddenly understand something and looked at Anxi's body. Officer Memu also suddenly understood, "So, the heavy blow to the head of the body was caused by the old man mistaking him for a thief and beating him with a wooden stick."

"Yes!" Kurosawa Rin nodded, "As for what happened next, I think it happened to fall on this person when he dug it out from the shrine warehouse, so that was the scene I saw before."

The reasoning is reasonable, but it sounds too fantasy and I always find it difficult to believe.

But as long as you verify whether the blood on the stick belongs to the deceased, you will know whether what Kurosawa Rin just said is correct.

As if accepting this fact, Officer Megure looked at Anzai Morio's body with sympathy.

What kind of bad thing did this guy do in his previous life to die so miserably in this life?

"By the way, where is Taeko Mameguro now?" Officer Megure finally remembered the matter of catching the criminal.

A voice came from the crowd, "I just saw her leaving in the direction of the hotel."

"Could he have escaped?"

Megure and the police officers rushed to arrest him. Soon after, they found Taeko Mazuheng who had hanged himself in the room.

"How, how could this happen!"

Everyone who rushed to the scene had their pupils constricted. When they put down the body of Taeko Doumo, there were no vital signs.

Taeko Mazune's grandfather fainted as if he had received too much of a blow, while Taeko Mazune's fiancé Shimazaki held the body of Taeko Mazune blankly, and kept muttering in his mouth:

"how so……"

People found a suicide note written by Taeko Mazuheng in the hotel room, which clearly recorded everything:

Because she was rebellious and stole items from the shrine, she forced the shrine's warehouse manager to death. Anxi, who knew about this, kept blackmailing her, and she killed Anxi on impulse.

After learning that Anxi had told the police everything before she died, she could not bear it and chose to commit suicide.

At the end of the letter, she regretted not telling her grandfather about the theft and regretting deceiving Shimazaki.

She felt sorry for them.

But now, she can no longer say these words.

Conan secretly hid behind everyone, a trace of discomfort flashed in his eyes.

He seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Kurosawa Rin's silent back with some worry.
