Chapter 138

Kudo Shinichi, now 12 years old, a primary school student, accompanied his childhood sweetheart to visit the campus festival of the university today. He didn't want to go out on the weekend, but Suzuki Sonoko couldn't stand it because he heard that Tokyo University of Foreign Studies would invite him from before The singer star who graduated from their school went back to perform, and Suzuki Sonoko, who was in the state of chasing stars at the moment, immediately pulled Mao Lilan and set off together.

The young boy who was worried about his green plum immediately followed him. This arrogant young man who never admitted that he liked his green plum would never admit it. He was so nervous that he had to follow Mao Lilan because he was worried that his green plum would fall in love with others.

The singer star can only come at night, but it is a school festival after all, and everyone can come in and out of the campus to visit at will. Suzuki Sonoko invited her friends to come here early in the morning, and she got in with her friends. In the crowd, Kudo Shinichi naturally followed immediately.

The school festival at the university was much more lively than that at the elementary school, and the three little ones soon had fun. Kudo Shinichi even found the Sherlock Holmes Club and the Mystery Club among the vendors on both sides of the road, and there was even a Special reasoning agency.

"Is university so interesting?" Kudo Shinichi suddenly felt that he had to study hard, and he could join such clubs after entering university in the future.

Seeing her bamboo horse happily discussing Sherlock Holmes with those adults, Mao Lilan smiled happily.

"Lan, there's a screening of the movie club in the gymnasium over there." Suzuki Sonoko held a taiyaki with one hand and a thick egg with one hand, and an apple candy in his mouth. The cheerful and cheerful girl chewed the apple in her mouth. , grabbed my friend, and walked towards the gymnasium, "Hey, reasoning maniac over there, we're going to the movies, will you come or not!"

"Here we come..." Kudo Shinichi reluctantly gave up on his comrades, and ran to the gymnasium with Suzuki Sonoko, "Sonoko, why do you want to go to the movie preview?"

"Because there is a super handsome guy in the photo of the film company." Suzuki Sonoko said naturally.

"You..." Kudo Shinichi was speechless.

When the three of them came to the entrance of the gymnasium, they were surprised to find that the security guards in the school rushed over and stopped those who didn't know the truth.

"Uncle, what happened inside?" Suzuki Sonoko hurried forward and asked.

Some elderly security guards shook their heads at her, "Little girl, something terrible happened inside, please don't go in."

"Can't you tell me what happened?" Kudo Shinichi couldn't help asking.

"I can't tell you." The security guard looked at the curious children and shook his head, "You can't let the children know about such things."

Kudo Shinichi wanted to sneak in to have a look, but was stopped by Mao Lilan, "Xinyi, what do you want to do? Since Uncle Security prevents us from going in, there must be a reason for them."

How could Kudo Shinichi not know, but his strong curiosity made him want to go in and have a look.

At this moment, a few familiar people of Kudo Shinichi walked towards this side.

Kudo Shinichi recognized the fat man in front of him at a glance, "Megure Police Department?"

Mu Mu Shisan took the lead and came over with the plainclothes policeman. He walked in a hurry and didn't notice the three children on the side. He stepped forward and asked the security guard over there, "How's the situation inside?"

"The situation has been brought under control. There are two members of the armed detective agency comforting the students inside." Uncle Security quickly said softly.

"Armed detective agency? Aren't they from Yokohama?" Megure's police department looked inexplicable, but they kept pushing the door and walked in immediately.

When Kudo Shinichi saw the Megure Police Department, he immediately knew that there should be a murder case. The Megure Police Department is the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department. It could only be that there was a murder inside.

This elementary school student who will be promoted to junior high school early next year knows the Megure Police Department because the other party often asks his father to help solve the case, but Kudo Shinichi himself has never been to the scene of the crime, and now he is even more curious.

Kudo Shinichi said to his Ome, "I'll go and have a look" and ran away.

"Xinyi!" Mao Lilan hurriedly stretched out her hand, but failed to hold the overly curious young man, and stomped her feet on the spot angrily.

Kudo Shinichi went around to the back of the gymnasium. He tried a few times, and finally successfully jumped onto the small window over there, then climbed up with difficulty, and climbed carefully into the backstage tool room of the gymnasium. Carefully pushing the door open, I managed to see the inside of the gymnasium.

Not far from him, a man was hung there in a strange posture, his body covered with film.The Megure police department has already come up and is talking to a young man with orange-red hair on the stage.

"You mean, you are a student of Dongwai University?" Mumu Police Department looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.

"Yes, I'm in Class 3, Grade [-] of the French Department." Nakahara Zhongya showed his student ID and detective ID to the other party, "I came to watch the preview of the film club, but I waited until the preview started. When the curtain was drawn, this person appeared on the stage."

After Nakaya waited for the other party to see his ID and returned it, he took the Megure Police Department and the young police officer Matsuda Jinpei by his side to the center of the stage, which was next to the corpse, "Because the corpse was found, I ordered the students not to casually Leave, and don't post these things on the Internet at will."

Without waiting for the other party to praise him, Nakahara Zhong also continued, "The deceased's name is Haruki Sanada, 21 years old, a student in Spanish Class 2 at Dongwai University, and a main member of the film club. I have done a simple autopsy on the body. There are large wounds on the upper and abdomen, and the cause of death should be one of the two. It has been confirmed that the content on the wall behind the corpse is not random graffiti, but the astrological chart of Scorpio."

As he spoke, he looked at the members of the film club who were still in shock, "According to the testimonies of the members of the film club, the scene layout of this case seems to be exactly the same as the scene of a movie they filmed earlier called "The Tragedy of Scorpio" .”

"Oh, oh." Mumu Police Department was stunned when he heard this, and felt that the young man seemed to be ready for everything.

Matsuda Jinpei on the side showed a grinning expression, "This is really good news. In this way, we can roughly delineate the scope of the murderer just by investigating how many people have watched the "Tragedy of Scorpio"."

"This movie is said to be an internal film of the film club, and the members of the film club have not disclosed it to the public." Nakahara Zhong also said directly, "In other words, the murderer is among these few members of the film club."

"This is really amazing, are all the people in the Armed Detective Agency so powerful?" Matsuda Jinping couldn't help asking.

"Unfortunately, I am just an ordinary investigator. If Mr. Edogawa Ranpo, the famous detective of our agency, is used in this case, I am afraid that the murderer can be identified at a glance." Nakahara couldn't help shaking Shaking his head, "Your Excellency seems to know someone from the Armed Detective Agency?"

Although the Armed Detective Agency has taken over cases from all over the country, there are indeed relatively few from Tokyo. On the one hand, it is because Tokyo itself has a sufficient police force, and there is also Yusaku Kudo, a reasoning writer who returns to China from time to time. As a consultant to the Metropolitan Police Department, he assists in handling cases.

"Ah, no, no." Matsuda Jinhei shook his head, "I haven't seen you, but my friends have. I remember Edogawa Ranpo, Oda Sakunosuke, and Dazai Osamu."

This combination is a bit wasteful, isn't half of it enough to produce only one smart person?Zhong Yuanzhong was also a little puzzled, but he still nodded to the other party, indicating that he already knew.

Here they are talking, and Kudo Shinichi over there watched the whole process in surprise, and couldn't help getting a little excited. He also knows the Armed Detective Agency, and he also knows Edogawa Ranpo. Before that, he was number one in the world. The whole live broadcast of the Detective Conference also collected a copy of Edogawa Ranpo's signature. At this time, seeing Mr. Ranpo's colleagues handle the case so neatly, it is really, really amazing!

"Why is there a child?" Nakahara Chuya noticed that there was an abnormal gaze looking at him before. After he finished talking with the two policemen, he immediately turned around and saw a child hiding in the equipment room Looking at this side from behind, he frowned suddenly.

"Child?" As soon as the Megure Police Department turned around, he saw Kudo Shinichi over there, and he immediately frowned, "You are... brother Kudo's son, right? How did you get in?"

Megure Police Department stepped forward quickly, pulled Kudo Shinichi out of the equipment room, looked up and down, and couldn't help frowning and said.

"Hey hey..." Kudo Shinichi scratched his head pretending to be stupid, and started talking nonsense as soon as he rolled his eyes, "I was here before."

"Before? Why didn't you come out and be with other people?" Megure Police Department said very disapprovingly, "Matsuda, have the others arrived? If they arrive, except for the members of the film club, the rest of the visitors Just do a simple information registration and let them leave first."

"They're here." Matsuda Jinhei looked at the terminal in his hand and nodded.

"Don't forget to bring this little devil with you." Mumu Police Department handed over the kid in his hand, "Really, don't cause trouble for adults!"

Zhong Yuanzhong was also very sure that there was no such a strange-looking kid among the people who stayed in the gymnasium at the beginning. He looked at the open window in the equipment room and reacted, and immediately frowned in disapproval. But he didn't say anything. It's not uncommon for him to see such an example of a child with an obvious background running around because of too much curiosity.

It's okay that the kid didn't scream because he saw the dead body this time, but he couldn't control himself because of his curiosity. Sooner or later, this kid will have to pay the price for his curiosity.

Kudo Shinichi has no future reputation now, he is only a primary school student, and he was easily taken away from the crime scene. When he passed the door, he saw two other children besides himself in the gymnasium. Suddenly he said with some dissatisfaction: "Why can they continue to stay inside?"

"They are reserve members of the Armed Detective Agency." Matsuda Jinping shrugged and said, "Okay boy, don't run around like this again, you know?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Kudo Shinichi's response, he handed the boy over to the police who arrived at the door, and turned around and walked back.
