Conan put his hands in his pockets and sighed, "Is this the step where Teacher Xia Zi was pushed down before?"

"Really?" Xiaolan looked at him puzzledly.

Suddenly, Conan realized something, and he explained in a panic: "This is what Teacher Judy said..."

Because Xiaolan didn't know anything about this.

"What's going on?" Sera was curious and approached Conan: "What case have you solved behind my back?"

"No...I didn't solve it. It was solved by Mr. Ichiyu and Mr. Amuro. They are both clients of Mr. Natsuko."

"That's true." Baijiu came to the rescue in time.

Conan took a breath and stated, "That teacher Xia Zi is a teacher at Beido Elementary School. It seems that she always passes by these stairs when she goes home, so the elementary school must be nearby."

Baijiu continued Conan's words: "So it could also be an elementary school natural science experiment that made something fly."

"It was mistaken for a flying saucer."

Xiaohe put his hands behind his back and retorted, "I don't think that's the case. The elementary school was on summer vacation at that time."

"And if you must say, it also flew over from our high school."

She shrugged, "But at most the karate club was using the gym at our high school that day, and no one else was there."

Xiaolan held her hand and said, "Beihu High School, I really want to go and see it."

"You can go, but you may not be able to get in..."

"why?"

Xiaohe looked bitter and lowered his head: "Because in early October, a murder occurred in the school building that was being rebuilt."

"It's winter vacation now, and even our students are strictly controlled when they want to enter the campus..."

After a while, they sneaked into the campus quietly.

Everyone hid in the blind corner of the alley and poked their heads out slightly.

Shiliang looked forward excitedly. Faced with this exciting exploration, she became interested: "Really? There's actually a police car parked in front of the back door."

"Shiliang, Xiaolan! Over here, over here." Xiaohe shouted from the side: "Because the door lock here is broken, you can open it."

"It was Teacher Yiyu and Conan who found it for me." She pushed the door open: "Look."

Xiaolan showed a worried expression: "It shouldn't be a problem for him to come in without permission like this, right?"

Baijiu looked at the yellow cordon in front of him, which was filled with dense footprints and traces of two human figures in the sand pit.

He sighed: "It seems that this is the murder scene."

Shira leaned forward, and his mind couldn't help but think of an incident that happened before: "Oh, by the way, I saw it on the news. A body covered in cement was found on the campus of a high school."

Xiaolan was a little surprised: "The name of the high school that was not made public at the time, I didn't expect it to be Beido High School."

Shira continued to recall: "But wait, I remember the report saying that there was another man lying next to the body, covered in cement."

"Because he was saying some incomprehensible things, I concluded that man was the murderer. I thought the case had been solved long ago."

"Hey! Who are you?!" Qianye ran towards them breathlessly: "Entering here is prohibited!!"

"Eh...? Xiaolan...Conan?" Chiba's tone instantly softened and he felt a little confused.

Conan was also confused: "Officer Chiba?"

"What are you doing?" Chiba gasped heavily and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"We are helping Kazuko-san investigate something about UFOs."

"U...UFO?" Qianye's eyelids twitched, and he looked very tired: "In short, in short, all the strangers...please leave here..."

Xiaolan asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell, Officer Chiba?"

"No..." Qianye adjusted his breathing: "Because I got off the police car halfway..."

Shiliang asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Before... a package was sent to my house... and it contained a thick stack of information."

Qianye gradually regained his color and explained with his eyes wide open: "It says... such and such disease will cause high blood sugar."

"High blood lipids, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and other risk factors, diabetes, myocardial infarction, and stroke will increase dramatically."

"He wrote a bunch of scary things!" Sweat poured down his forehead, "Because it also wrote about various different... different ways to lose weight."

"So I just started practicing what I wrote above."

"Isn't that a forced sale?" Baijiu complained, "Is it a scam for ineffective health foods?"

"No, there's nothing on it that looks like it's selling anything, and the sender's handwriting is not good."

"I vaguely remember seeing it somewhere. It feels so familiar."

"Don't worry about that for now." Shira shook her short hair angrily: "Tell us the details of this case, Officer Chiba."

"Doesn't Conan often help you solve cases? Teacher Yiyu and I often help too, and we are all old acquaintances."

Shiliang rubbed his palms together, revealing his cute fangs: "Don't be so formal."

"Really... I really can't do anything about you." Chiba sighed helplessly, but still told the case truthfully: "The person who was murdered was a magazine editor named Mr. Otsu, 42 years old."

"He was lying face down on the ground with his nose and mouth facing downwards, and half of his face was buried in the cement. The cause of death was suffocation."

"The person who was also stuck in the cement and lying face up next to him was Mr. Oki, who was unemployed at the age of 38."

"Ohki often submitted photos to the UFO magazine that Otsu edited. Half a year ago, someone saw the two of them."

"There was a big quarrel in the editorial office, and the motive for committing the crime was sufficient."

Xiaolan guessed: "Then...was it that man who did it? He buried the victim's face in the cement."

"It's not that simple, Xiaolan." Chiba pursed his lips.

"The victim did not inhale any cement into his respiratory tract, so it is confirmed that he fell on the cement after being killed."

Qianye continued to add: "In addition, what suffocated him was not a string-like weapon, but something..."

"The police have already found out about the method of putting a bag-like object over the head, but they just can't find the bag-like murder weapon."
