"Help me check what time it is now." Sato Miwako turned her head and looked at Takagi Wataru beside her and shouted.

"It is now 14:46 p.m. and we have found the body." Takagi Shigeru looked at his watch and responded calmly.

"Officer, who could be so cruel to do such a thing?" Keizao Masuo's voice was filled with endless sorrow. He clutched Takagi Wataru's collar tightly, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Could it be that those robbers really did it, officer?" Keizao Masuo's voice trembled, with fear of the unknown and deep attachment to his loved ones.

Xingchen looked quietly at Masuo Keizao beside him, his hands deep in his pockets, thinking secretly in his heart. This original three-choice question now seems to have evolved into a proof question. Of course, this does not rule out the possibility of an outsider.

Xingchen frowned as he noticed a strange detail.

After Keizao Masuo entered the room, it took a long time before he started screaming. This reaction seemed unusual.

The door was open from the beginning, and the corpse should have been visible as soon as he entered the room, so why was his reaction so slow?

Conan and Xingchen looked at each other, and their eyes revealed a preliminary understanding of the current situation. They exchanged glances tacitly, and Xingchen gestured to go outside to investigate, while Conan stayed in the house to continue observing.

Conan nodded and made an OK gesture with his hand, indicating that he understood Xingchen's intention.

Then, Xingchen resolutely turned around and walked outside. He secretly thought about the situation outside the round hole on the glass and decided to go over and find out.

Xingchen walked around the house and finally came to the outside of the window.

He looked around and found that this road was quite hidden. It was indeed possible that someone came prepared and cut open the window to sneak into the house.

Xingchen moved closer to the ground and investigated carefully.

Apart from finding some broken glass, he did not find any other valuable clues.

He carefully checked the window again, took some safety measures, and turned to leave.

Just then, the sound of sirens came from a distance, breaking the surrounding silence.

After a while, several police cars came roaring in and stopped at the door.

Xingchen quickly took the opportunity to run into the house, fearing that he would be stopped outside as a bystander.

After Xingchen entered the room, he saw Conan who was meditating beside the corpse, while Sato Miwako didn't seem to notice Conan's presence.

"Did you find anything?" Conan heard the noise and pulled Xingchen aside and asked in a low voice.

"I checked the glass hole and indeed found some glass shards on the grass." Xingchen glanced at Masuo Keizao and whispered, "It looks like traces of glass being cut from the outside."

"Where are the windows? Are there any signs of opening or closing?" Conan continued to ask.

"What's strange is that the dust on the window is still intact." Xingchen frowned and said, "It doesn't look like the dust came in from the outside through the window. It's more like an illusion."

"Did you find anything here?" Xingchen asked curiously.

"Of course." Conan whispered back, "Do you think anyone would attack someone who's on the phone?"

"It's highly unlikely." Xingchen shook his head and said, "It would be easy for the person on the other end of the line to hear your voice. Unless the murderer has a voice changer."

"Even if the murderer is wearing a voice changer, his action will increase the vigilance of the person on the other end of the phone, prompting them to call the police or rush over faster," Conan analyzed.

"Secondly, that person's behavior in the Metropolitan Police Department is indeed suspicious." Conan continued.

"That is to say, the murderer is most likely him." Xingchen said with his hands in his pockets, "but we still don't know how he did it."

"It's not clear yet, we need more clues." Conan squinted his eyes and looked at Keizao Masuo who was crying beside him.

Xingchen looked at Masuo Keizo and thought to himself, it's true, this guy has at least half as much acting talent as him.

While they were talking, the police had already arrived at the scene and started preliminary investigations. Miwako Sato held up a notebook and said seriously, "The deceased is Kayo Masuo, 42 years old."

Next to her stood two new detectives, one squatting to examine the body, and the other standing to record the situation. Including Takagi Wataru, all three of them took notebooks and carefully recorded the situation.

Miwako Sato continued: "The murder weapon was a knife that stabbed the victim directly in the back."

The crouching detective looked up and said, "The deceased showed no signs of struggling. It seems that he died on the spot."

"The criminals committed the crime roughly when the victim screamed." Sato Miwako answered seriously.

"Officer Sato, did you hear the victim's screams?" asked the standing detective.

"Yes, we all heard the victim's scream at the same time." Takagi Shigeru answered affirmatively and told the detective what had just happened.

"That means the victim was stabbed to death while making a phone call," Conan suddenly interrupted.

"But I don't think she was just on the phone." Conan continued, "At this time, she should be riding a bicycle while talking on the phone. You can see that she is sweating a lot."

"When a person dies, their metabolism stops, so they can't sweat even if the room temperature is high." Conan reasoned, "So she must have done something that made her sweat. I just checked, and there are no jogging shoes specifically for jogging in their shoe cabinet."

Xingchen looked at his watch, wiped his sweat and thought, Conan is starting his reasoning show again. Fortunately, Sister Xiaolan is not here.

"Oh? You're really good at it." Sato Miwako squatted down and looked at Conan with an admiring expression on her face. She glanced at Xingchen outside the door and said, "If you are with Xiaochen, little guy, you must be one of the children in the family of the Mori detective that Takagi mentioned before." She seemed to remember the previous incident.

Xingchen looked at the watch on his wrist again, feeling a little anxious. Why hadn't his uncle come yet?

"I don't know your name yet." Sato Miwako asked softly with a kind smile on her face.

"My name is Edogawa Conan, and I'm a detective." Conan put his hands behind his head and answered confidently.

"Oh? Then you must work hard and strive to become a great detective like Detective Mori." Sato Miwako encouraged.

"Okay, you can go back with Xiaochen." Sato Miwako stood up, turned to look at Takagi Wataru and said, "Takagi, send them back."

"Eh." Conan widened his eyes, took a step back and thought, something seems to be wrong with the plot, this woman's tricks are so deep.

"Uncle, this way." Xingchen saw Kogoro Mouri rushing in at the door and waved and shouted.

"Eh!?"
