Chapter 333. Are you talking nonsense?

"Were you simply going for a walk? Why didn't you want to go any further after we got there? And then the murder happened when we got back. How do you feel about this?"

Conan stared intently at Wang Changsheng and asked, word by word.

"How can I think?" Wang Changsheng blinked. "I don't think."

Conan: "..."

"Stop talking like that!" Conan glared, his little fangs showing. "What do you have to do with this whole thing?"

This wasn't the first time he had asked Wang Changsheng.

His intuition told him that Wang Changsheng had no need to go for a stroll at that time.

As it turned out, we ended up not far from the back entrance of the community center.

It's quite a coincidence.

But Conan always questions any coincidences.

If one coincidence after another comes together, then it can only be a long-planned scheme!

"Do I have anything to do with this whole thing?" Wang Changsheng asked, looking up at the dark curtain of the sky, and then smiled.

"Of course there are."

"Don't be so quick to deny it, you..."

Conan was about to speak when he suddenly realized that what Wang Changsheng had just said was related.

His expression immediately turned somewhat surprised.

Although he felt that Wang Changsheng might be related to this incident, after all, he came with Yuan Mei, who was one of the agents.

In addition to his past actions.

No matter how Conan thought about it, he felt that Wang Changsheng was not just here for sightseeing.

But he knew this guy definitely wouldn't tell the truth like he used to.

So this was just a casual question.

I mainly wanted to observe Wang Changsheng's attitude more closely.

To his surprise, the guy actually admitted it right away.

"Did this kid have a sex change?"

Conan looked at Wang Changsheng with some suspicion, suddenly feeling that the other party might be planning something with ill intentions again, so much so that his gaze towards Wang Changsheng became somewhat wary.

"So you admit you're involved in this? Then tell me, what role did you play in it?"

Wang Changsheng's expression was natural, with a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes glanced at the washing machine.

"It's a very simple relationship. I'm now implicated in this terrible incident, and I might be questioned by the police and have my statement taken tomorrow. Isn't that my connection to this incident?"

Conan: ?

"That's it?" He looked at Wang Changsheng with a question mark on his face.

"Otherwise what?" Wang Changsheng tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, glancing sideways at the washing machine. "What else do you want to ask?"

Seeing his feigned ignorance, Conan immediately became furious: "You know perfectly well what I want to ask!"

"I don't know," Wang Changsheng shook his head decisively.

His nonchalant attitude angered Conan once again.

He had actually harbored a tiny bit of hope that Wang Changsheng might confess everything to him.

really!

He wasn't wrong just now.

This guy's been up to no good here!

Star snails: magical creatures that grow in the sea, scattered on the ocean floor like twinkling stars, decorating the ocean while purifying water resources, and serving as food for many species.

"This thing is quite cheap." I glanced at the system notification.

Wang Changsheng nodded.

His World Tree space was filled with several god-level scenes.

Its territory is not too small.

However, the number of species living in it is still not very large.

This star snail seems to be able to make the greatest contribution to the ecology of the entire World Tree space, existing at the bottom of the food chain.

And most importantly, it's very cheap.

It's entirely possible to provide a large quantity that's enough to satisfy your appetite.

In addition, it also has the ability to purify water resources.

Those 100 negative points are really well worth it.

You should know that although he now also possesses the natural magic to purify water.

However, it is impossible for him to frequently interfere with the ecological environment.

Each intervention means that the ecological environment is unable to self-destruct and neutralize negative impacts, and instead, it has to be intervened by him.

This situation can only mean that there is a major problem with the ecosystem.

Every time this situation arises, Wang Changsheng must treat it with caution.

After all, the world's environment is simply too difficult to recreate.

Therefore, when Wang Changsheng introduces species into the World Tree space now, he will carefully consider whether it is appropriate, instead of just stuffing everything in there like he did at the beginning.

Conan was speechless after Wang Changsheng's retort, but looking at the long road ahead, he hesitated for a moment and asked Wang Changsheng again, "Since you say you have nothing to do with this matter..."

Conan was interrupted by Wang Changsheng halfway through his sentence.

"I'm telling you, little brother, aren't you a bit too dense? Didn't I just say it was related? Where did you hear me say it wasn't related?" Wang Changsheng looked at him with a smile.

Right now, it's impossible for Xiao Ke to be pulled out for a friendly exchange.

And now I've finally run into Conan again.

Naturally, I should catch up with him and reconnect with him.

And the facts have proven that his line of thinking was completely correct.

It had only been a short time since they met Conan, yet the system was already sending out rewards one after another.

It was so much fun!

"I can't be bothered with you!" Conan rolled his eyes, then walked away in a huff, no longer wanting to deal with Wang Changsheng, the swordsman.

This time, Wang Changsheng had some questions for Conan.

So I grabbed his shoulder and stopped him from leaving.

"What are you going to do?" Conan turned his head and glared at Wang Changsheng with considerable impatience.

"Hehe~" Wang Changsheng chuckled.

"Hmm?" Wang Changsheng was a little puzzled when he saw the system notification that suddenly appeared.

He hasn't said or done anything yet.

Why is this guy making the system pop up a notification again?

"Is this little brat cursing me in his heart?" Wang Changsheng looked at Conan suspiciously.

"What exactly do you want?!" Conan was feeling somewhat exhausted by Wang Changsheng's smile and eyes.

He suddenly smiled at himself just now.

Conan almost jumped in fright, thinking this person was going to bully him again.

"Hey, I just wanted to ask you about this case since you seem to enjoy investigating it so much, Conan. What have you figured out so far?"

Wang Changsheng saw the system notification he had just received.

He figured Conan was probably cursing him in his heart, so he patted Conan's shoulder with a smile, and quite hard at that.

It slapped Conan so hard that he turned to the side with one shoulder higher than the other.

"You want to ask me about the situation? Heh, that's really strange." Conan didn't expect Wang Changsheng to want to ask him about the case, and a somewhat disdainful smile appeared on his lips.

"What, is it not allowed?" Wang Changsheng's dark eyes narrowed slightly.

He wasn't angry at all, and he didn't seem angry at all.

But Conan just felt uncomfortable being stared at by those eyes.

He thought this might be what they called the gaze of a petty person.

"Okay, okay, why not?" Conan replied casually.

Although he was annoyed by Wang Changsheng.

But since the other party was willing to talk to him about the case.

Conan was quite happy to agree.

Even if they are just expressing their own opinions, they can still observe the changes in Wang Changsheng's expression.

Conan now really enjoys observing Wang Changsheng.

"Okay, then hurry up and tell me. I was outside with my friends and didn't go in, so I don't know what it's like inside. Tell me about it?"

Wang Changsheng rubbed Conan's head.

It feels surprisingly good.

He also wanted to hear Conan's thoughts on the case.

Let's see how far he's gotten in his research.

It would also be good to trip him up.

To prevent him from suspecting Asai Shigemi too quickly.

He's a master at causing destruction.

"Since you've asked so sincerely, then I'll take pity on you..."

"Thump"

Just as Conan was about to finish his sentence, a righteous iron fist stopped him from saying what he was about to say.

Wang Changsheng smashed it directly onto his head.

Message: Negative points from Conan Edogawa +1000

"Ouch!" Conan cried out in pain. "Why did you hit me?!"

We were so careful, but we still couldn't prevent it.

Just when he let his guard down, he was suddenly punched.

This person... this Wang Changsheng...

How could he be so ruthless?!

Conan is furious.

His exclamation made the adults in front of him turn around.

Wang Changsheng immediately put on a gentle and obedient smile: "Just now, Conan wanted to run around by himself, so I stopped him. I'm sorry."

Conan: "???"

I didn't run around.

"He released..." Conan was about to argue, but when he looked up, he saw the death ray in Wang Changsheng's eyes.

He immediately fell silent.

"You're being naughty again. You better stay close to your brother Changsheng, listen to him, and don't cause trouble!" Uncle Mori said to Conan with an "I knew it" look on his face, then turned around and started chatting with Sonomi and Asai Narumi.

Seeing that everyone's attention had shifted.

Wang Changsheng then lowered his voice and said to Conan, "Alright, continue. Remember to speak properly."

Are you just using your lines?

If we don't hit you, who will we hit?

Looking into Wang Changsheng's calm, deep gaze, Conan was angry, but dared not speak out.

He could only recount, with a sense of grievance, what he had seen in the music room and his own speculations.

"The doors and windows of the music room were locked at the time, but the locks on the windows were broken from the inside. I also saw obvious drag marks on the floor. I think someone must have lured the victim out first, then killed him and dragged him back into the room. This can be seen from many of the marks. The murderer is most likely someone who came to attend the party."

Conan spoke quickly, as if reporting official business, outlining his several deductions.

But then he frowned again.

"But the marks on the beach between the door and the sea are something I just can't figure out how they happened."

This chapter is not finished, please click the next page to continue reading!

Conan crossed his arms.

It's a bit chilly here at night.

"What marks?" Wang Changsheng asked when Conan brought up a topic that interested him.

"Why don't you go see for yourself?" Conan glared at Wang Changsheng, annoyed.

However, the latter retorted confidently, "If I went to see it myself, why would I be asking you?"

"Hmph." Conan rolled his eyes. "There were no traces of dragging a body on the beach, no footprints, but instead, there were many handprints of all sizes pressed on it. Isn't that strange?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Changsheng nodded in a mocking manner: "It does seem rather strange."

"What do you mean by 'seems like'? It's just really weird!" Conan frowned. "And the weirdest thing is that even though I didn't go out to look at those handprints closely, I could still feel that those handprints seemed to have been pressed on one by one by someone."

"Oh?" Wang Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

"I think those marks, though messy, I didn't look at them all. Perhaps those handprints were deliberately pressed down by the murderer to confuse the situation, and there must be his footprints mixed in among them!" Conan said, offering his speculation.

"Oh." Wang Changsheng nodded.

Hearing him say that, Wang Changsheng wanted to reassure him that no matter how he looked at it, he would never be able to find any footprints or drag marks.

He used so many magical hands at the time, his efficiency was absolutely phenomenal.

However, Conan was not giving up.

He continued, deep in thought, "With that old policeman watching, even if the murderer wanted to erase all traces tonight, it wouldn't be possible. But after all, a night has passed, and anything could happen..."

He seemed to be thinking about something, his expression showing some hesitation.

Looking at him, Wang Changsheng had a feeling that this guy was up to some kind of crazy idea again.

He quickly interjected, trying to interrupt his thoughts.

"Speaking of which, those handprints you mentioned, since they come in different sizes, even if the killer made them intentionally, what would he have needed to do that?"

Upon hearing Wang Changsheng's words, Conan's attention was indeed diverted.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head: "It could be a prop he prepared specifically, but I don't know exactly what it is."

"Do you think it's possible that those handprints were obtained using special methods?"

"Special methods?" Conan glanced at Wang Changsheng. "For example?"

"For example, the murderer might actually know magic. He used magical energy to summon a hand, pressed his handprint on the beach, and then it disappeared, so there was no evidence. Otherwise, if the murderer had prepared the props, where could he have hidden them?"

"Are you talking nonsense?"
