In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Page 134

Xia Ye was bored out of her mind, so having a case to pass the time would be nice, but—

Conan reported this case to the police.

Looks like this Grim Reaper elementary school student has killed someone again!

.......

Several police cars were driving on the road.

Leading the way was Sato Miwako's red FD. If it weren't for needing to take care of her colleagues, given her speed, she would probably be at the scene by now!

This is the police response.

Miwako Sato was in charge of the on-site command.

This is against the rules, since Sato Miwako hasn't been promoted to assistant inspector like in the story; she's still just a patrol chief and doesn't meet the requirements for leading a team alone.

but--

There aren't enough people for one class right now.

It can be considered an expedient measure taken in an emergency.

Moreover, rules are meant to be broken, as long as the higher-ups don't object.

Moreover, given how favored Sato Miwako is in the First Division, let alone being a field commander, even if she were promoted two ranks to become a police inspector right now, probably no one would complain!

"Summer Leaves~"

While driving, Sato Miwako observed the road conditions and said with a smile, "This is your first time handling a case, so you'd better do your best!"

I'll try my best~

The cases in the Conan world are quite simple. With Xia Ye's current abilities, he shouldn't be stumped by just any case, but—

"I just heard from Inspector Yoshino that your crime-solving skills seem to have improved rapidly lately, Inspector Sato; you've already solved several cases!"

When Xia Ye heard this news, she was a little surprised. Although Officer Sato in the story was dashing and had extraordinary skills, his ability to solve cases should not be very strong. What kind of strange development is this?

"I've been studying hard lately!"

Sato Miwako calmly presented her reason for fooling Inspector Megure; whether Natsume believed her or not was none of her concern.

"Working so hard?" Xia Ye glanced at Sato Miwako, without any doubt.

Now, almost all the characters he's interacted with in the storyline have had their "personas shattered." Vermouth has even become friends with Ran, so isn't it perfectly normal for Sato Miwako to want to learn about criminal investigation?

"Yeah~"

Miwako Sato lightly applied the brakes, and the red FD stopped beside a phone booth on the street corner. She smiled and got out of the car.

"Here we are!"

Xia Ye also got off the bus and immediately spotted Conan sitting on top of the phone booth.

Chapter 123 He assaulted a police officer! He assaulted a police officer!

"It's Officer Sato and Natsume-nii!"

The three members of the Junior Detective Team exclaimed in surprise when they saw Natsume and Sato Miwako.

Conan, perched atop the phone booth, couldn't help but look over: "Officer Sato, are you leading the team today? Isn't Inspector Megure here?"

"That's right~"

Miwako Sato smiled and explained:

"The Metropolitan Police Department is very busy today, so I'm in charge of this case. Oh, by the way, you all know Xia Ye, right? From today onwards, you can call him Officer~"

"Wow, awesome!"

Ayumi's big, watery eyes were filled with admiration as she clapped her hands and asked, "Is Brother Xia Ye a policeman too?"

"That's right~"

Xia Ye patted Ayumi's head and chuckled softly:

"However, now is not the time to talk about this. Please be quiet for a moment, Officer Sato and I need to start working on the case!"

"Good~"

Ayumi nodded obediently and stood with Mitsuhiko and Genta. It seems the last lesson had some effect; at least the little ones were much more obedient.

“Officer Sato, Natsume… Brother, no one has left that villa since the body was discovered. I’ve been watching it the whole time!” Conan climbed down from the phone booth and briefly explained the situation.

It turns out that they had another day off this afternoon, but before school ended, the Junior Detective League received a request to find a cat, so they started searching in this area.

Later, they found the cat at the entrance of the villa, but the cat was stained with suspicious blood. They climbed over the wall and looked through the window, only to find a blood-covered corpse in the bathroom!

"A murder case?"

Xia Ye rang the doorbell.

He remembered this case; it was very simple, so simple that it could be solved without any reasoning!

"Who?"

A man's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Police, open the door!"

"What's going on? It's so noisy!"

The villa gate was opened, and a middle-aged man with a mustache, wearing a bathrobe, complained impatiently.

"police!"

"Name?"

"Tanaka Kazuyu."

"Mr. Tanaka——"

Xia Ye gently pushed him away and walked straight into the villa, heading towards the end of the corridor: "Someone reported that a body was found in your bathroom. We need to go in and take a look!"

"Hey?"

Tanaka Tomofumi, who had already cleaned up the crime scene, was caught off guard. A hint of panic flashed across his face, and he subconsciously asked:

Do you know where the bathroom is?

"Know~"

Xia Ye was almost at the bathroom door when Sato Miwako finally realized what was happening and quickly followed with her people. Once outside the bathroom, she whispered in Xia Ye's ear, "Xia Ye, this isn't in accordance with proper procedures..."

"program?"

Xia Ye smiled and said, "I'm just a temporary worker, it's normal that I don't know the procedures."

“.....¨¨.”

Sato Miwako watched him push open the bathroom door, somewhat speechless. Could it be that this guy didn't want a permanent job because he thought the temporary worker title was convenient?

"Look, there aren't any corpses here, are there?" Tanaka Tomofumi pointed to the clean and tidy bathroom, feigning composure, though his eyes still held a hint of tension.

"impossible!"

Ayumi looked around in disbelief, her little face filled with anxiety: "We clearly saw a person covered in blood lying here!"

"You must have seen it wrong!"

Tanaka Tomofumi smiled smugly and said:

"Children shouldn't talk nonsense!"

"But......"

Ayumi felt very wronged.

She looked at Xia Ye pitifully.

"Brother Xia Ye!"

"It's okay, leave it to me~"

Xia Ye couldn't bear to see the cute little girl being wronged. He smiled slightly at Ayumi, then turned to the police team and asked, "Where are the forensic personnel? Bring the luminol reagent over!"

"okay!"

A young forensic investigator approached with a small spray bottle, awaiting Xia Ye's instructions...

Xia Ye was speechless.

You can't do the work without giving instructions, right?

"Spray a little around the bathtub and on the floor!"

As Xia Ye spoke, she glanced at Tanaka Tomofumi, who was trying to remain calm. Judging from how he handled the body, it was clear that he had committed the crime on impulse. In such a short time, he only had enough time to wash the bloodstains away with water. It was almost impossible for him to use any special method to disrupt the luminol reagent test!

"There's a reaction!"

A low gasp rippled through the officers who had been watching the forensic team. A large patch of blue light appeared on the ground where luminol had been sprayed, indicating that there had been a significant amount of blood on the ground before the cleaning.

"Mr. Tanaka, could you explain why there is so much blood in the bathroom?" Everyone's attention turned to the villa's owner, Tomofumi Tanaka.

"Huh? So this reagent is for testing bloodstains?" Tanaka Tomofumi scratched his head, feigning ignorance as if to say, "I'm illiterate, I just found out." "Those bloodstains are from my nose when I was taking a bath earlier; the hot water caused it to bleed, and there was a huge puddle of blood!"

For his words.

No one present believed it.

The nosebleed just happened to flow onto the spot where the corpse was lying; what a coincidence!

but--

Where did the body go?

"Go search!"

Miwako Sato gave the order!

"Yes!"

The officers went into the villa to search for the hidden body. Xia Ye came to the villa's living room, glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor, and asked, "Do you live alone in this villa?"

"No, I live with my younger brother."

A strange light flashed in Tanaka Tomofumi's eyes.

"He's not home right now, but he should be back soon, officer. I'm going upstairs to watch TV and rest for a bit. You can search however you like!"

"Oh?" Xia Ye said with a half-smile, "At a time like this, you still have the mood to watch TV?"

What do you mean by "at this time"?

Tanaka Tomofumi's expression remained unchanged; he wasn't fooled by Xia Ye. "I've already said that there's nothing shameful in my house. If you police officers insist on listening to a few kids' nonsense, there's nothing I can do. Do as you please, I'm going upstairs!"

"Please, get some rest."

Xia Ye gestured for him to proceed.

Sato Miwako blinked her light purple eyes, sensing a hint of sarcasm in Natsume's words.

Tanaka Tomofumi dared not look Natsume in the eye, feeling as if the handsome young police officer had seen right through him. However, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and hurriedly "escape" upstairs!

In a room on the second floor, Tomofumi Tanaka pushed open the door, quickly walked to the television, and turned it on.

Then I glanced at the figure sitting in the recliner in front of the TV. The person who was propping his face up with his hand and seemed to be asleep had the exact same hairstyle, beard, face, figure, and pajamas as him.

"Pshaw, God help me not get caught!"

"I feel like God can't protect you anymore!"

Natsume's voice came from the doorway. Tanaka Tomofumi looked over in horror. Natsume was leaning against the door frame, smiling at him. Behind Natsume, Sato Miwako and even Conan appeared outside the door!

"you......?"

Tanaka Tomofumi was somewhat bewildered.

These police officers are acting completely out of the ordinary! How could they secretly follow me? That's so despicable!

"Alright, let's just surrender now~"

Xia Ye didn't want to waste time either; cases where the plot was already known were not fulfilling and were rather boring.

Moreover, now that she's experiencing it firsthand, Xia Ye realizes just how absurd the anime's plot is.
