Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 253 Even a stitch can be stitched

A quarter of an hour later, Qi Ming and Ai Haibara returned from the depths of the forest with Genta.

When Qi Ming first came in, his hands were empty, but now he was carrying three rabbits in each hand.

However, Qi Ming's expression still showed some dissatisfaction.

They say this is a hunting ground, but all you see are rabbits!

Moreover, the recap clearly stated that there was a large bear here, but Qi Ming walked around and didn't see anything, not even the little bear he had just met.

They were probably scared away by the gunshot. Damn it, what a jerk! Didn't they bring a silencer when they went hunting?

...Oh, civilian silencers are not compliant, then it's alright.

"Wow, so many people have come!"

When Qi Ming returned to the location of the murderer's body with Ai Haibara and Genta, a group of people had already surrounded the body.

In addition to Conan and his friends, the police have also arrived at the scene.

This time, it wasn't Inspector Megure who came, but Wataru Takagi.

It was only later that Qi Ming learned from Takagi Wataru that he happened to be traveling here during this period.

As a result, he was lying comfortably in the hotel when he suddenly received a call from Inspector Megure, who forcibly terminated his vacation and sent him over.

It's so annoying how powerful officials are; they can really crush you.

Besides Wataru Takagi and several police officers, there were also two people carrying hunting rifles at the scene, presumably hunters in the hunting area.

"Ah, Brother Qi Ming, you're back."

"Genta, what are you running around for? Don't you know it's dangerous here?"

Upon seeing Qi Ming and his two companions approaching, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko came forward, looking at Genta with displeasure.

Upon hearing this, Genta scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sorry, but I feel like there are more mushrooms in this area."

"Genta, what you're doing is very dangerous, okay? And there's been a murder here!"

Mitsuhiko said angrily, turning around and pointing to the corpse on the ground.

"Someone has been shot dead. There are murderers in this hunting area!"

"I, I promise I won't do it again next time."

Upon glancing at the corpse on the ground, Genta's expression instantly turned deathly pale.

Honest Yuan Tai Limited Edition is now available.

"Mr. Qi Ming is back. I have something I'd like to ask you."

Takagi Wataru was examining the body with Conan when he saw Qi Ming, the person involved, return and immediately went to greet him.

"Hello, Officer, please feel free to ask me anything."

Police lights?

Takagi Wataru scratched his head in confusion, not dwelling on the form of address, and pulled out his notebook to ask:

"Mr. Qi Ming, how long did it take you to discover this body?"

"A quarter of an hour ago."

"Besides this body, did you find anyone else at the crime scene?"

"Besides me and Ai, there's no one else here."

Qi Ming said truthfully that it felt like playing a murder mystery game.

However, he is a sunny and cheerful young man, and this matter has nothing to do with him.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing Qi Ming's description, Takagi Wataru hesitated, tapping his chin with his pen.

"Mr. Qi Ming, according to you, you were the first person to discover it, and there was no one else around, so you are the only murderer?"

"Ok?"

Ai Haibara glanced at Wataru Takagi with some surprise.

The police officer stared blankly, not really, but he had no idea that the police had such keen eyes.

You noticed that?

However, Takagi Wataru was not so determined and quickly changed the subject with a laugh.

"Haha, Mr. Qi Ming, I was just joking. You are a friend of Professor Agasa and Conan. Besides, how could someone bring a child to kill someone?"

Takagi, who almost uncovered the truth, turned back when it came to the matter.

"So, have you found any leads on who the murderer is?"

Qi Ming asked without changing his expression.

Takagi Wataru nodded, then shook his head, and pointed to two hunters carrying shotguns near the corpse.

"Based on the current situation, the murderer should be one of the two hunters over there, since the murderer was shot."

Near the body, Conan was still examining the suspicious details on the corpse, but he also kept an eye on Qi Ming.

Upon hearing Takagi Wataru say that the murderer was one of the two hunters, Conan shook his head bitterly to himself.

This isn't a choice between two options, it's a choice between three.

No, although it's unfounded, Conan thinks it should be one or the other.

It was Qi Ming who did it!

That person is awful! I had clearly refused to go with him, yet he still dared to kill someone to mock me for not being able to solve the case!

Qi Ming: Don't follow me, or I'll kill someone.

Conan: Then I won't come.

Qi Ming: Huh? I told you not to come, and you really didn't? Then I'll have to kill someone!

Conan believes that Qi Ming is capable of doing such a thing!

"Sir, there's something going on."

A person emerged from the bushes not far away, waving and calling out to Takagi Wataru.

They were wearing police uniforms and appeared to be other subordinates brought by Wataru Takagi.

Although Takagi Wataru may seem unremarkable, he is, after all, an official.

"Is there a problem?"

"In addition to the body reported, we also found another body!"

"what?"

Takagi Wataru raised an eyebrow, apologized to Qi Ming, and then ran towards the other corpse.

Conan originally wanted to follow, but after glancing at Qi Ming, he chose to come to Qi Ming's side first.

"Brother Qi Ming, may I ask you, did you kill these two people?"

Even though Ai Haibara was right next to Qi Ming, Conan still asked her the question frankly.

Ai Haibara glanced at Conan and realized that Conan must have deduced her identity.

"No, I swear I didn't kill this person, I didn't even touch the gun!"

Qi Ming readily raised his hand to swear, his eyes resolute.

"Besides, I don't have any guns that bad in my inventory."

Seeing Qi Ming's serious expression, Conan's suspicions gradually faded.

Based on my recollection, Qi Ming never seemed to disguise his killings.

Could it be that the murderer this time is someone else entirely?

……

Then, the group followed them to the location of another corpse.

The other body was also killed by a shotgun.

According to the entry and exit records of the hunting area, only the two suspects and the two deceased have come here today.

However, considering that the fence does not seem to serve any purpose, we cannot rule out the possibility that it was an outsider carrying a gun.

After a thorough search, no clues were found, and the officers also did not find any leftover firearms at the scene.

Just as Conan was filled with doubt, a hunter who had been considered a suspect suddenly spoke up, his eyes lighting up.

"Wait, I already know the answer!"

"These two must have killed each other!"

"..."

Takagi Wataru felt somewhat ashamed.

Even if you want to clear yourself of suspicion, this isn't the way to do it.

Trying to distance yourself from your actions makes you seem more like the murderer, doesn't it?

"Sir, we don't have any Western dueling traditions here. Besides, why would those two shoot at each other?"

Another hunter, also a fellow hunter, understood what he meant and added:

"What if they both mistook each other for prey, and thus accidentally fired at each other?"

"...Ah! Is that how it is?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, but then they understood.

Qi Ming was taken aback for a moment upon hearing the other party's remarks.

These two hunters are something else; they've even figured out the Dark Forest Theory.

If you were in a different place, you two would probably be the main characters!
