Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Chapter 470: Black Cuttlefish Pasta and Fried Fish with Potatoes

"So that's how it is. They said that the boy who was giving orders at the scene and was a bit arrogant was you, Kudo." Officer Megure said to Kudo Shinichi with his hands behind his back.

Two forensic officers nearby were filming and collecting evidence.

Kudo Shinichi explained: "I just happened to be at the crime scene with Xiaolan, so I rushed over."

"Although I did ask roughly just now whether anyone saw the criminal, unfortunately there are no witnesses."

"Well. So are you two here at the aquarium for a date?" Inspector Megure said with his hands in his pockets, looking at Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran.

"Ahaha, does it look like that?" Kudo Shinichi asked back with an involuntary smile.

"No, it's not like that. You misunderstood." A blush instantly appeared on Mao Lilan's cheeks, and she quickly waved her hand to deny it.

"I was just kidding. You're just making it more obvious if you're so hasty to veto it. It'll make it easier for others to misunderstand you." Kudo Shinichi bent down slightly and whispered to Mouri Ran.

"You, someone has been killed next to you, and you still have the mood to joke." Mao Lilan said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

Inspector Megure, who was standing by, didn't feel like interrupting the quarrel between the two tsundere young lovers, so he went to investigate the deceased instead.

"Hmm?" Officer Megure opened the bag from the convenience store and saw the knife inside. "I saw that the murder weapon was the knife that fell next to the victim, and it was stabbed through the convenience bag."

After hearing the words, Kudo Shinichi explained: "The reason for doing this is to prevent the splattered blood from getting on you when the knife pierces you."

"The murderer stabbed the knife horizontally in order to prevent it from being blocked by the ribs and to allow it to penetrate the heart smoothly. In order to prevent a large amount of blood from splattering, he also deliberately covered the knife with the victim's jacket and then carefully pulled it out. He then covered the wound with his jacket and left calmly."

"If that was the case, the victim should have screamed in pain, so someone should have heard the sound and seen the criminal," said Inspector Megure.

"No, please look at the back of the deceased's neck first and you will know." said Shinichi Kudo.

"Huh?!" Inspector Megure leaned over and saw two small black spots on the deceased's neck.

"There are traces of electric shock from a stun gun on the neck. As long as the victim is knocked unconscious, he won't scream or shout." Kudo Shinichi said. He had investigated all this before Inspector Megure arrived.

"And when I arrived, the blood was still flowing out, so the victim must have been killed a few minutes before I arrived." Kudo Shinichi said.

He walked to the left of Inspector Megure and pointed at the deceased's jacket and continued: "In addition, I found the stun gun in the inside pocket of the jacket."

After hearing this, Inspector Megure reached out and opened the deceased's jacket, and found a stun gun in the right inside pocket.

"From what we can see now, the criminal should have said something like there are magical fish in the tank or something that can divert the victim's attention, and then use the stun gun to hit the back of the victim's head while he lowers his head."

"Of course it was definitely not a sudden fall, but the murderer could have helped the victim sit down slowly as if he was unwell."

"This way, the murderer can kill him secretly." Kudo Shinichi said as he connected the clues into a line.

"In this case, it is very likely that the criminal knew the victim." Officer Megure said as he searched the deceased's body and found a wallet.

After searching the victim's wallet, Officer Megure said that there was no identity proof such as a driver's license or business cards in the wallet.

"We need to investigate the identity of the victim first." Officer Megure said helplessly.

"The victim's name is Zhu Benguobo, and he is 26 years old. He works at a gas station in Beido Town. He said he had something to do today, so the gas station didn't schedule any special shifts for him." Kudo Shinichi explained his identity one by one.

"Then the victim might have come to the aquarium with his girlfriend for a date."

"A woman who is about 160 cm tall and wears a miniskirt and still likes dolphins." Kudo Shinichi said with a smile.

Brush~!

"Wait, how do you know that the victim's girlfriend is 160 cm tall, wears a miniskirt, and is a woman who likes dolphins?!" Xingchen held a cup of yellow, green and purple layered drink in both hands with a spiral straw inserted in it. There was also a butterfly fish pattern on the cup.

The name on the menu is Dancing Butterfly Fish Mango Milkshake.

"Well, I just used a little trick. I used the victim's phone to randomly find someone in the address book and called him. I said I was the one who found the phone and asked, "Do you know whose phone this is?" Conan explained with a smile, crossing his arms.

Star Morning inhaled the milkshake in a storm-like manner, and the remaining two-thirds sighed and said, "I didn't expect that someone would do such a thing."

"I do these things to solve the case." Conan Banyue looked at Xingchen unhappily and said.

"Hello, your meal is here." A waiter walked over to their table and interrupted their conversation. In his hands was a plate of inky black pasta arranged in the shape of cuttlefish and a plate of fish and chips.

He placed the pasta and fish and potato wedges on the table, bent over and said, "Please enjoy your meal."

Xingchen ordered these dishes out of curiosity. He was curious about what they tasted like. The jet-black pasta was called black squid pasta, and from Xingchen's point of view, it was a dish that fit the image of Osaka Black Chicken.

As for the fish and chips, it is called Bouncing Fish and Chips. As for why I ordered it, it was simply because Xingchen likes it.

"Thank you." Xingchen looked at the waiter and nodded. He then looked at Conan in confusion and asked, "How did you get the miniskirt and the liking for dolphins? Could it be that they are also for solving the case?"

"Well." Conan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued with an awkward smile on his face.

Brush~!

"I told him that it wasn't good to do that kind of thing casually, but he just wouldn't listen." Mao Lilan said helplessly, forming a sharp contrast with Kudo Shinichi who was standing next to her with a confident smile.

Inspector Megure's eyes suddenly turned into small ones, and he looked at them speechlessly with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. You said they were not here for a date, but that doesn't make sense.

"It's okay. I've already reminded the other party." Kudo Shinichi said to Mouri Ran, and he told the other party that if she received such a call again next time, she should just answer and ask them to send her directly to the police station.

"You are such a person." Mao Lilan complained.

"In that case, the woman he was traveling with also works there?" Officer Megure said, still looking at them with his eyes wide open.

"No, because I have just seen the receipt in the victim's wallet." said Kudo Shinichi.

"Huh?!" asked Inspector Megure in confusion.

"The store on the receipt is the cafe inside this aquarium, and the time was about fifteen minutes before the deceased was found." Kudo Shinichi continued when he saw Officer Megure take out the receipt from his wallet.
