When the performance ended, Li An still did not go to look for Mao Li Ran and Kudo Shinichi. She could always see them, after all, her new home was in Mu Ma Manor.

But she didn't expect that they would meet so soon.

Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko did not leave immediately, but stayed to help. In fact, there were enough people in the group, but they still stayed.

Nakamori Aoko's eyes were full of stars: "Sister Li An, your performance today was amazing! You are much better than that guy Kaito!"

"Aoko," Kuroba Kaito said angrily. He didn't want to throw playing cards around here. "Sis, there are some flaws in this part of your performance. I think we can do this..."

While she, Yuko and other members were cleaning up the venue and chatting, police officers came over.

The person looked familiar to her.

"I'm Sato Miwako from the First Investigation Division. Excuse me, are you Miss Kuroba Kuriyasu? You are involved in the murder of Mr. Sugiura Ichiro. There are witnesses who saw Mr. Sugiura Ichiro and you had a conflict yesterday afternoon. We want to know the situation from you. Please come with us."

Sugiura Ichiro...? Kuroba Kurian sighed and could only say, worthy of being a kind of agave? One or two of them died so carelessly.

The person who made a fuss about the conflict between her and Sugiura...

I guess it’s the second person from yesterday. Tsk, he clearly looks like his companion.

I hope that task doesn't fall on me.

She had already foreseen how Gin would investigate her, but she was not afraid of him.

It wasn't her who did it.

Officer Sato saw that she was a little dazed, and said in a slightly more serious tone: "Ms. Kuroba, please come with us."

Kuroba Kurian came back to her senses, and Youko looked at her with an expression as if to say, "Why are you still distracted at this time?"

"Oh, okay. May I ask where you found Mr. Ichiro Sugiura's body?" Kurian asked her.

"In the apartment where he lives. We can talk about it as we walk. It's not far from here."

"Can I go with Sister Li An? She's a little scared." Sora Yuko lied with her eyes open. She shuddered when Li An squinted at her, but she still smiled and took her hand.

"Can I inform my brother before I go with you? I'm afraid he'll worry."

Miwako Sato pondered for a moment and nodded.

The final result was that Officer Sato looked at Kuroba Kurian with a dark face as he not only brought Soraki Yuko, but also Kuroba Kaito, and even Kuroba Kaito brought Oume Nakamori Aoko. In addition, there was a white dove with silver eyes. Oh, I always forgot to mention that it was called Citron.

……

The rain had stopped and the theater was only three minutes away from his apartment, which was at walking speed.

As they walked, Officer Sato kept glancing at Kuroba Kaito, as if she had seen something strange, but in the end she didn't ask, after all, she was not familiar with him yet.

Of course Li An saw it. When she arrived, she asked Kaito to buy some food for the pigeons. Kaito was not happy at first, but Nakamori Aoko pulled him away. Citron was dozing on Li An's shoulder, nodding its head. The chattering and walking just now did not wake it up, but when it heard about food, its eyes lit up, and it flapped its wings to follow, but Li An held it down: "It's up to you to identify it, Citron."

Citron shuddered, lowered his head and continued to nestle on Li An's shoulder without moving.

It seemed that today's magic made it a little tired. Li An thought, it would be better to let it have a good rest when we get back.

After entering the door, the entrance hall is a bit narrow, and there is a bathroom next to it. What catches your eye is a glaring bloodstain extending forward to the corner of the room. The body is at the corner, and a police officer is already taking pictures to collect evidence.

There was a large dark color near the entrance, it seemed to be not only blood, but also rain.

I turned the corner into the living room and unsurprisingly saw a familiar person.

That's right, a certain savior, Kudo Shinichi, was already squatting there looking for some detailed evidence. When he saw Li An, he seemed a little surprised, as if he was curious about why she was here. After all, she was someone he had just met and chatted with.

"Ms. Kuriyasu, is it related to this case?" Kudo Shinichi stood up and asked the police officer.

The police officer glanced at her and said something to Kudo.

Kudo Shinichi fell into deep thought.

At the same time, there were three other people under police guard: a calm man, a girl leaning against him, she was a little emotional but not crying, and a shy but pretty girl, her eyes were also red, but she looked relieved.

A round police officer wearing a brown hat came over and asked.

"Is this Miss Kuroba Kuriyasu? Hello, I'm Inspector Megure from the First Investigation Division."

"Are you the one who killed Sugiura?" The somewhat calm man hugged the excited girl, took a step forward on her behalf and asked in a deep voice, as if he had already ignored whose performance they had just watched.

Li An was not panicked at all and did not answer. He just looked at the police officer with a questioning look.

In fact, Li An had learned some things from her on the way, but he had just checked with them.

The calmer man was called Morimoto Sho, the girl who was a little excited just now was called Kato Saeko, his girlfriend, and the other shy one was Kuwahara Yumi. She and Saeko were best friends, and they and Sugiura were all students who were about to graduate from Teitan University. They were in the magic club together before, but they left the club one after another after only two years.

Sugiura Ichiro died about three hours ago, while it was raining outside. A dagger was stabbed deep into his back, but strangely, there were no wounds or signs of struggle elsewhere. The cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation caused by excessive blood loss and ruptured lungs. His right hand was almost against the wall, leaving two bloody marks, and his left hand covered a letter.

The forensic police found blood on the telephone line near the wall. The police initially determined that Sugiura Ichiro unconsciously grabbed the telephone line with his hands before his death, but it slipped because he had no strength. No fingerprints were found on the dagger. The blood-stained clothes are still being searched.

The body was discovered by his three friends. During the short break after Kuroba Kuriyasu's death, they called him separately. The call was answered when Morimoto called, but no one answered when Kato and Kuwahara called. They thought he had gone out, their phone could not be reached, and they had not seen him since.

According to them, Sugiura was a person who neglected to clean, and they came here often, so the three of them might have left their hair and various fingerprints.

After the show, they called Sugiura Ichiro's apartment again, but no one answered. The line was busy and even the answering machine was unusable.

The few letters left by Ichiro Sugiura are three letters arranged vertically, and the middle letter is stretched out very long. It may be because he has no strength, or it may be because he wrote these three letters with his left hand and did not control it well.

When Officer Sato said these three letters, he did not notice that the expressions of the people around him were a little strange.

The three letters are -

K

I

D

"KID", this is a death message.

Kurian & Yuko and Kaito on the side:...

----if----

Yuko: Did Kaito-chan learn bad habits so quickly? That doesn't seem right. He hasn't even been here before.

Kaito: Wait a minute, didn't he take on this role just the day before yesterday? What did he do to deserve such slander?

Aoko: She just knew that Kaito Kidd was just a bad guy!

Li An: I don’t know what to say. I want to light a candle for Blanco and give him a thumbs up.
