A Survival Manual for the World of Science

Maori Kogoro even jumped up: “What’s wrong? Is there an earthquake?”

Several people gathered around the front of the car to see what was happening.

The tram driver braked and ran down in a hurry. Kawasaki Tetsuya fell in front of the tram, his face pale with fright.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Ming ran after him and asked Conan who was standing at the front of the car.

“Just now, Kawasaki got off the bus to take pictures, and suddenly fell onto the tracks just as the train was about to pass. Fortunately, the driver braked in time.”

Fall suddenly?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

There are absolutely no surprises where Conan is.

There are only successful murders and attempted murders.

Just as he was thinking, the system swept him with a magnetic field.

Hmm? How come there is a magnetic field? Didn’t the Kawasaki survive the runover?

After confirming that Kawasaki was fine, the driver got a little angry and said, “Really? You should have been more careful. If I had been slower, you would be dead now!”

Chu Ming nodded in agreement, “Why don’t you slow down? I almost had two magnetic fields today!”

Kawasaki was still in shock: “I’m so sorry, I was standing on the ladder to take pictures, and suddenly the ladder fell down…”

“Okay, I’m glad you’re alright. Let’s get back in the car. We’re about to leave.”

Conan returned to the car holding the S-shaped hook he found with a handkerchief, ready to discuss it with Chu Ming.

“Don’t drive away, call the police.” Chu Ming said to the driver in a deep voice as soon as he got in the car.

Conan followed behind and raised his head when he heard it: “Brother Chu Ming, you also found something wrong? This is probably man-made. I found a …”

Chu Ming interrupted Conan: “No, someone died.”

Eh? Conan walked around Chu Ming in surprise. In front of him, Horii Masao was lying on the ground with blood all over his head.

Chapter 149 Free Points Question “Additional Update 1”

“How could it be…” Qingshui’s face was full of disbelief.

Kogoro Mori hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Kawasaki and Shimizu who were about to move forward.

“I am Detective Maori Kogoro. Please do not approach the body and wait patiently for the police to arrive.”

After dispersing the crowd, he squatted in front of Horii’s body and carefully checked the situation.

“The forehead is swollen and there is a laceration on the back of the head.”

Kogoro Mori stood up and looked around, and found that there was blood on the corner of the camera box hung on the railing by Kawasaki, and there was also a large pool of blood on the floor.

“It seems like this. Mr. Horii must have lost his balance due to the emergency brake just now. When he fell backwards, he accidentally hit the camera box next to the car door, which caused the back of his head to be injured. It seems that this was an accident. Mr. Horii is really unlucky–“

Kogoro Mori shook his head and sighed.

“You are the famous Detective Mouri!” From the distance, a police officer rushed over quickly and shook Kogoro Mouri’s hand.

“I am Kenji Wakai from the Harii Police Station! I have heard of Mr. Mori’s name for a long time, and after meeting him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary!!”

Upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro straightened his chest and shook hands with Officer Wakai: “No, no, I just solved some cases. It’s not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, hahahahahahahaha.”

“Mr. Maori thinks this is an accident? Then let’s go later–“

“Oh, this is so strange. Why is there a large pool of blood on the bottom of the camera box when the big brother fell on it? And there is also a wound on his forehead. Could it be that -“

Maori Kogoro grabbed the brat who always sabotaged him and threw him towards Chu Ming: “Bullshit! The camera box must have flipped over because of the emergency brake!”

Chu Ming casually took Conan who was flying over and continued, “But Mr. Kawasaki has just tied the shock absorber, so it shouldn’t flip over.”

Maori Kogoro’s face darkened: “In other words, this is most likely a premeditated murder case.”

Chu Ming nodded: “And I got out after the car stopped. Mr. Horii was filming next to me at the time, and he didn’t fall. After I got out of the car, only Ms. Shimizu and Mr. Horii were left in the car.”

“So…” Kogoro Mouri and Officer Wakai looked at Shimizu who was standing nearby with suspicious eyes.

Qing Shui was furious: “It wasn’t me. I rushed to the front because of the emergency brake, and this gentleman ran out from the back! I got off right after him, maybe he killed Horii from behind and ran out!”

“Is that so?” Officer Rujing looked at Chu Ming with suspicion.

Maori Kogoro waved his hand and said, “How is it possible? How could Chu Ming kill someone? Besides, this is the first time they met and they didn’t even talk to each other just now.”

Conan stood behind and laughed. He already knew who the murderer was, but that didn’t stop him from laughing at Chu Ming.

He whispered to Chu Ming: “Brother Chu Ming, according to Uncle Maori’s reasoning method that you mentioned, since Uncle Maori said that you must not be the murderer, does that mean -“

Looking at the malicious smile on Conan’s lips, Chu Ming calmly took out his cell phone and squatted down to show it to Conan.

“I think Xiaolan will definitely thank me when she sees this picture. What do you think, Conan?” Chu Ming emphasized the last two words “Conan”.

Conan looked at the screen of his mobile phone. In the rain, he was holding a blue umbrella and talking to a girl next to him with his head tilted. They looked intimate and it seemed that they only had each other in their eyes.

That’s… him?

How come he has no impression?

But he didn’t have time to think about it. Seeing that Chu Ming was about to walk towards Xiaolan, he hugged Chu Ming’s legs and shouted in support of Chu Ming.

“Chu Minggege can’t be the murderer! I found this not far from where the ladder fell!”

Conan maintained the posture of hugging his thigh with one hand, and took out a hook from his side with the other hand.

Kogoro Mouri walked over, took the hook, and looked carefully at the scratches on the ladder.

“This hook was hooked on the ladder, and there was a broken piano wire on it. Could it be that -“

He hurried off the bus and ran to the bumper in front of the tram, which was also tangled with piano wire.

“I understand.” Maori Kogoro said seriously, “It seems that someone hooked the ladder with a hook, connected it to the nearby electric pole with piano wire, and fixed it to the opposite billboard. In this way, when the tram passes by here and hits the piano wire, it will trip the ladder. And the murderer took advantage of the time when our attention was attracted by this incident and killed Mr. Horii.”

Maori Kogoro was uncharacteristically unresponsive and figured out the truth without Conan’s reminder: “Ms. Shimizu, the murderer is you.”

“I’ve already told you that I was thrown forward because of my brakes! And you said I was the murderer, do you have any evidence?”

“This car had another one at 5:40, which means that the piano wire was set up after 5:40. And they knew that Mr. Kawasaki would take pictures there and would use a ladder. No one knew all this except you and the deceased Mr. Horii.”

Shimizu clenched his fists: “Then maybe it was a trap set by Horii to kill Kawasaki! He might have come so late just to do this, and he himself might have committed suicide out of fear of guilt because he failed to kill Senior Kawasaki! Do you have conclusive evidence to prove that I killed Horii!”

Kogoro Mouri was stunned. He frowned and said nothing. Indeed, he did not find any evidence, but when things had come to this point, anyone with a discerning eye would know that Shimizu must have committed the crime.

“Humph, without even any evidence, you treat me as the murderer. The famous detective is no better than this!”

“Oh, Sister Qingshui, why is your hand injured? And there’s a scratch on your watch~”

Chu Ming picked his ear and concluded for Conan: “There should be your blood on the camera box. You didn’t wear gloves, so there must be your fingerprints.”

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a stupid murderer who didn’t even wipe off the blood and fingerprints.

This wave of questions is simply a free point.

Chapter 150 Let’s go bungee jumping (Additional chapter 2)

Qingshui lowered his head and stopped trying to defend himself.

“Shimizu, why, why did you want to kill Horii? Aren’t you on good terms?”

Kawasaki really couldn’t understand. The two of them had a very good relationship before, to the point where she left him alone and went out to play, so why did he suddenly want to kill someone?

And he was dragged into the water! If the driver hadn’t braked in time, he would have been with Horii.

“In fact, Horii and I were dating, and we were even talking about marriage. I gave him everything… but he suddenly decided to study abroad in Germany.”

Qingshui covered her face with her hands, tears dripping from between her fingers, blurring out the dried blood on the ground.

“And, and when I said I wanted to go with him, he actually told me that he was going to Germany because his parents had arranged a marriage for him with someone of equal social status, and that he would get married when he got to Germany… Then who am I, who am I! He clearly agreed to marry me in the beginning, but he’s going too far, and I really can’t swallow this…”

Kawasaki couldn’t help it anymore: “That’s none of my business! You guys left me aside when you were dating and you wanted to kill him, but you took me with you! What? Singles don’t have human rights!”

————

Because they had to go to Nichimar Amusement Park, Kogoro Mouri made an appointment with Officer Wakai to take the statement next time and left.

“Wow roller coaster!”

“Wow Ferris wheel!”

“Wow wow wow there’s also bungee jumping!”

Conan looked at Chu Ming with a frown on his face, as he was making a fuss everywhere like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

“Isn’t this just an ordinary amusement ride?” He couldn’t help but complain, “Why do you make it seem like it’s your first time here?”

Chu Ming opened his arms with a longing and pure smile on his face, which was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

“Because this is my first time at an amusement park, and it sure looks like a lot of fun!”

“First time?” Xiaolan and Conan were surprised.

“Yes, my parents were busy with work and rarely came home, let alone taking me out to play. Then they passed away when I was in junior high school. The guardian who came after me, well, he could barely be considered a guardian, but he wasn’t the type to take me to an amusement park, so I never came.”

It was the same in my previous life. I became a mercenary in order to survive. After I came out of the sea of ​​fire and swords, I became addicted to games. As a result, I was sent here before I had much rest.

“Then Brother Chu Ming, we’ll call you when we have fun activities in the future~” Conan considerately changed the subject.

“That’s great – hey, where’s the uncle?” Kogoro Mouri, who had been following behind, got lost at some point.

Conan pointed to the figure dancing like a gorilla at the rowing field over there: “Over there – the uncle was reading the newspaper about rowing yesterday.”

Xiaolan walked over angrily, and Chu Ming also hugged Conan and covered his eyes.

“Oh, kids, don’t watch this bloody scene. Let’s go watch the Kamen Rider show over there!!”

Conan lay in Chu Ming’s arms, feeling hopeless: “I might have liked watching this ten years ago…”

“Conan doesn’t like it, so let’s go play that!” Chu Ming pointed to the bungee jumping venue over there.
