Be the god of death in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 27 Where is she

Seeing that she was a little shaken, Bai Li immediately struck while the iron was hot, and continued to press, "When I came, I saw two children lying on the lawn outside the door. You didn't kill them, you just knocked them out, right?"

"I...", the woman's mind was in confusion.

"If you really want to keep a secret, you should kill them, right?"

"...Shut up, don't say it!", Hearing the word "kill", the woman seemed to be greatly frightened, and waved the kitchen knife indiscriminately, took a step back in a stumble, and slammed into the door.

The door made a creaking sound and slid open. Almost at the same time, due to the absence of the door's cover, a seemingly invisible siren sounded faintly from above.

The woman suddenly changed color.

"I vaguely saw someone in the house before. I thought it was a thief, so I called the police." Bai Shu looked at her pale face and said slowly, "The police will come to search the neighborhood immediately, although they may not be able to find this person. The basement... But if you want to surrender, you should confess now. If you wait any longer, they may leave."

... There seems to be a layer of hidden meaning in these words.

The woman was stunned, her expression gradually became agitated, "You mean...you won't report on us?"

"No, I'll call them back if they're leaving, I just want to say you don't have much time to decide whether to turn yourself in or not."

"...", the woman's face became ferocious again.

She clenched the kitchen knife in her hand and gritted her teeth as if planning to make a last-ditch effort.

But just as she was about to rush over, a low growl suddenly came from beside her, "Stop!"

"... Zhaofu?" The woman stopped suddenly, looking at her son in the cage in disbelief.

Although mother and son can see each other every day, Akio hasn't spoken a word to her for a long time.

"Mom, stop it." Zhaofu's voice was hoarse and he had difficulty enunciating, but he insisted on finishing the sentence, "He is right, the murderer...is indeed me. I shouldn't do it just because Dad stabbed me a few words. That sort of thing."

"I've had enough of having nightmares every day. I want to atone for my crime. Let me turn myself in!" After he finished speaking, he covered his face and burst into tears.

Although the deadline for the case is approaching, although he is still hesitating and struggling... But now, because of the intrusion of the strangers in front of him, he has only one way to go.

With a clang, the kitchen knife in the woman's hand fell to the ground, and her son's words broke her last line of defense. She threw herself down in front of the cage and hugged her son through the railing.

Previously, they could choose to hide, or turn themselves in.

But now, the only options left are surrender, or be caught.

...Is this really a choice?

The mother and son quickly hugged each other bitterly and began to cry. I don't know if it was because of the hardships of the past five years, or because of the pain of bereavement, or... being angry at Bai Shu.

Not long after weeping, they had no choice but to walk out of the basement and surrender to the police under the ruthless instruction of someone knocking on the dial.

Everyone returned to the ground, and Ayumi saw Mitsuhiko and Genta who looked confused on the lawn from a distance, waved to them happily, and ran over in a hurry.

Five years later, the unsolved case, which had been at an impasse, finally came to light, and the parents who hurried over claimed the children and scolded them severely.

Only Conan, because the "parents" were present, escaped.

The rain had stopped, and the two walked home through the stagnant water, one in front of the other.

Conan had short legs and fell behind. He stared at the back of the white tree all the way until he saw the signboard of the Maori Detective Agency in the distance. He finally couldn't help asking, "Brother Naoki, how do you know that building Is there a problem with the bungalow? You called the police before going in, right?"

"This, it's very simple." Bai Shu didn't turn back.

Conan immediately pricked up his ears nervously, and ran forward two steps, wanting to hear his opinion.

"First, carefully observe the shape of the house, its location, and so on..."

"Uh-huh."

"Then like this." Bai Shu stretched out a hand towards him, with the palm up, the palm slightly curved, and the thumb resting on the middle finger.

"...What is this? Measuring the length?" Conan subconsciously made the same gesture.

"No, it's a calculation."

"...", Conan silently put down his hand, and a well popped out of his forehead.

Bai Shu also withdrew his hand and stroked his non-existent beard, "Young man, you still have a lot to learn."

The old magic stick patted his sleeves, and walked up the stairs of the detective office calmly, leaving only one detective who wanted to jump up and knock his head off.

……

A month later, on the deck of a cruise ship.

Bai Shu leaned against the railing like a salted fish, drinking juice while watching the sunset on the sea level, feeling complicated.

Although he was very happy after being idle for a month, but having nothing to do means no performance, and without performance, he cannot enjoy the fun of saving money... In this entangled mood, he finally ushered in another impending crisis case.

——A few days ago, Mori Kogoro took them on a trip to the main island. It was a very happy event, but because the confused detective made a mistake about the return time, they missed the return boat and were almost trapped on the island. .

Fortunately, there is a rather luxurious cruise ship willing to take them along the way.

This is the cruise ship chartered by the Suomoto family.

With more than a dozen people scattered on such a large cruise ship, it inevitably seemed very empty.

Therefore, when Baishu leaned against the railing with Xiaolan and Conan to watch the sunset, a long-haired girl who appeared next to them at some unknown time and also leaned on the railing was particularly conspicuous.

Especially... She looked at the sunset and suddenly began to cry.

Xiaolan was startled for a moment, walked over and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay." The girl wiped away her tears, looked at them, and smiled gently, "I just suddenly remembered my parents who passed away. I really hope they see me wearing a wedding dress today."

"Huh?" Xiaolan was taken aback.

Conan was also dumbfounded, and stared at Xiaoben Xiajiang for a long time. She was obviously wearing a dress, except that it was all women's clothing, and it didn't match a wedding dress no matter what.

"It's the wedding held in the morning, it's on Suomoto Island." Baishu finished the juice in the cup, a little idle, and offered to explain.

...How did he know again.Conan stared at the dead fish eyes, and looked at the white tree with his chin resting.

When Bai Shu mentioned it, he also thought of the rather grand wedding in the morning, and murmured in his heart, this person obviously knows everything, but he was really pretending to be confused before.

Is it fun to watch him jump up and down to give Uncle Maori a tip?

Excessive!

At this time, a young man suddenly walked by, he looked at the group of people suspiciously, and finally waved to the only one he recognized, "Xia Jiang, what's wrong?"

"Ah, Xiao Wu!" Xia Jiang turned his head, and when he saw the person behind him, he subconsciously laughed, and the sadness just now was swept away.
