Chapter 31 Case Investigation Begins

————April 13, 8:45————

————Nikkei TV Editorial Department, Mixing Room on the Fourth Floor————

Inspector Megure stared at the corpse in the mixing room.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Why is Xiang Yuanguang so evil? On April 10, a murder occurred downstairs from his office. On April 12, he was eating at a ramen restaurant, and a murder occurred in the coffee shop next door. On April 13, he came to the TV station to participate in a program, and a murder occurred in the editing and production department of Nichimei TV that night.

"..."

Inspector Megure turned his head and stared at Xiang Yuanguang who was still observing the situation inside the mixing room.

"...?"

Xiang Yuanguang noticed Inspector Megure's gaze and asked with some confusion.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my face?"

"Inspector Megure, quickly set up a blockade and let the detectives collect evidence."

Of course Inspector Megure knows this.

After all, he is an old detective, but his attitude towards Xiang Yuanguang has undergone some subtle changes.

After calling on Detective Takagi next to him to go in and collect evidence.

Inspector Megure patted Genmitsu's shoulder, took him outside the mixing room, and said meaningfully.

"Brother Xiang Yuan, I've wanted to ask you before, why do I see you every time there's a murder case?"

"I thought it was the kid in the blue suit who had bad luck."

"I didn't expect that you are the one with the bad luck!"

"what?"

Xiang Yuanguang was sweating profusely and he shook his head speechlessly.

Then, he pointed directly at Inspector Megure and spoke righteously.

"I'm offended! Inspector Megure, there's something wrong with what you just said!"

"What do you mean I'm the one who's unlucky, not the kid in the blue suit!?"

"Conan and Detective Maori are the main guests of this TV show, and I am just a sideshow!"

Word bullet【5/5】.

A strong wind suddenly blew up and blew Inspector Megure back several steps.

He couldn't help but mutter, no wonder Matsuo Takashi said that Genkou was a magician.

It seems that without some magic, how can this effect be achieved?

On the other side, two security guards who were taking statements were testifying about the case.

"...Yes, Mr. Xiang Yuan suddenly called us and told us that a murder may have occurred in the editorial department."

"We came right over, and then Mr. Xiang Yuan led us to search for bodies floor by floor."

"From the ninth floor to the fifth floor, we found nothing. We thought Mr. Xiang Yuan was just making fun of us."

"But Mr. Xiang Yuan looked very serious. He said he wanted to go to the fourth floor. But Mr. Yefang Daoyan said before that no one should come to the fourth floor to disturb him, so we wanted to stop him..."

The security personnel thought of Xiang Yuanguang's hedgehog hair and his aura that seemed like he could be defeated physically at any time.

He couldn't help but shook his head and continued.

"However, we didn't dare to stop Mr. Xiang Yuan. I thought Mr. Yefang Daoyan would deduct my salary, but I didn't expect to see Mr. Yefang Daoyan's body outside the mixing room on the fourth floor."

"From this perspective, I feel a little lucky that my salary will not be deducted..."

call out!
A cold wind suddenly blew from the direction of the mixing room, and the security personnel who were just talking were suddenly frightened.

Oh my god? Could it be that Mr. Yefang Daoyan appeared? He wants to kill me because I said something wrong?

“Wow! Mr. Yafu Michihiko has appeared! No, no, I have to go back…”

The detective next to him continued to take notes with an indifferent look on his face, glanced in that direction, and then spoke in an unusually calm manner, with a speechless look.

"Don't make a fuss. It's just Detective Xiang Yuan using magic to solve the case."

"Let's continue to talk about the details of the information you know about this case."

Meanwhile, on the ninth floor, in the recording studio.

Takashi Matsuo, who was still recording the program, suddenly stopped talking.

He had heard the sound of sirens just now, and they were getting closer and closer, and now their position had stopped moving.

Could it be that the police car was parked downstairs of the Nichimei TV editorial office?

What on earth was going on? Could it be that the murder had been exposed?
(Was it the work of the magician detective, Xiang Yuanguang, who had already left?)

(He shouldn’t know that I killed someone. Could it be that magic really exists in this world?)

Matsuo Takashi's expression was uncertain for a moment and he didn't say the lines he had prepared.

The host assistant Nagai Ayako next to him looked at Matsuo Takashi with some concern.

The other party is a very qualified TV host and has made almost no mistakes in his performances over the years.

Why did I make so many mistakes tonight? Is there something happening that I don’t know about?
(The location of the sirens should be directly below, that is, downstairs from the Nichimei TV editorial office.)
(It seems that Xiang Yuan has found the body and called the police.)
Conan subconsciously touched the special watch on his wrist.

It contains anesthetic needles that can knock out elephants, as well as a small sight.

Even if he was sitting in the audience seats below, Conan was sure that he could subdue Matsuo Takashi with one shot.

If Matsuo Takashi wants to escape at this time...!
"Little Detective, you look very nervous. What's wrong?"

Dr. Asai next to him began to increase the pressure, and he noticed Conan's actions next to him.

Conan's hand suddenly stopped.

Sure enough, the guy dressed as a woman next to him is still hard to trust.

If I inject an anesthetic needle into Matsuo Takashi at this time, will Dr. Asai notice it?

"No, nothing. I was just checking the time."

"This show is so long, when will it end?"

Conan rubbed the back of his head and spoke like a child.

Xiaolan next to him actually thought that Conan couldn't sit still for too long.

I was thinking about whether I should take Conan to the outside of the recording studio to wait for my dad to finish recording the show.

Then there was a creaking sound.

The door of the recording studio was pushed open.

The guy in charge of photography was startled and subconsciously pointed the camera at the door of the recording studio.

I saw a police officer in criminal police uniform appearing at the door.

This scene was broadcast live to audiences across the country, and no one knew what was happening in the recording studio.

On the contrary, the people in the audience thought they were actors invited by the recording studio to create show effects.

As a result, the leading criminal policeman showed his ID and spoke righteously.

"I'm Miwako Sato, a detective from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, Criminal Investigation Division 3."

"There is a murder case happening in the Nichimei TV editorial office right now, and we need your cooperation in the investigation."

The policewoman looked heroic and the two criminal police officers next to her walked in immediately.

The people in the audience finally realized that this was not a show effect, but a real murder case.

Takashi Matsuo on the podium made some movements, but finally stood up naturally.

Conan, who was observing this scene, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no need to use anesthetic needles to control Matsuo Takashi.

Next, it’s detective time.
