Chapter 11 First Encounter in Video Game City

Because of the murder, all the equipment in the game city stopped. The game city that was noisy just now suddenly became extremely quiet. Gin and Kurosawa Gin stood in the corner. They would not be able to see this scene for a while.

He couldn't leave, and Gin didn't want to deal with the police, so Kurosawa Gin sat on the gaming chair and waited for Conan to solve the case.

Not long after, a fat police officer wearing a hat led the team to the arcade. He was very short, at least for Gin. Officer Memaku saw the extremely conspicuous Death combination at a glance: "Little

Lan, was this the case you reported just now?"

"Well, Officer Memu, that person suddenly died while playing a game." Mao Lilan nodded, but it was a bit unreasonable. A person was playing the game well one second, and fell to the ground and died the next second. "Duel"

In the process, he suddenly stopped attacking when he was almost winning, and then discovered that he was dead."

After listening to the confessions of Mao Lilan and others, Mumu frowned slightly and turned around to ask the detectives around him. They seemed to be old acquaintances. As soon as they entered the murder scene, they were the first to ask these people about the situation, "Takagi, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed.

Yet?"

"Yes," Takagi took out the police manual and looked through the information recorded on it, "The deceased Kengo Oto was 21 years old and unemployed. After investigation, most people said that he had bad conduct and was extremely unpopular. He usually visited this amusement center.

play games."

"Well... such a bad comment, it seems like he must have a lot of old enemies here."

This was not the first time that Judy and Officer Megure met, but the previous time was not a pleasant memory. Judy met Officer Megure during the bus bomb incident, but the two did not say hello.

"Xiaolan, are you familiar with this police officer?" Judy asked Mao Lilan in a low voice.

"Yeah." Mao Lilan introduced Officer Memu, "He was my father's former colleague." And we often met at murder scenes, so we were all old acquaintances.

Hearing someone talking about himself, Officer Memu turned around and looked at the foreigner with light blond hair, "This is..."

"This is the English teacher of our school." Mao Lilan, who acted as the liaison, introduced the two of them enthusiastically.

"Yes, my name is Judy Santamirion. Please give me some advice from this police officer."

"my name is juzou mekure, I'm a japanese policemen." Officer Megure also showed off a wave of English, although it was only the most basic English sentence patterns. Kurosawa Gin twitched the corner of his mouth outside the crowd and looked at Judy,

She quietly pulled Gin's clothes and saw that the silver-haired man's attention was on him.

"Do you know that English teacher?" Kurosawa Gin asked in a low voice. Gin glanced at Judy twice and shook his head. Although they had met before during the bus bomb incident, it was only a one-time encounter. The two of them couldn't even say hello.

He had never fought before. If Judy hadn't deliberately imitated Belmode's catchphrase, Gin would never have been able to remember such a passerby.

"Nonono," Judy stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Officer Memu, correcting Officer Memu's spoken errors in a very "responsible" manner, "You can't say policemen at this time, you have to say policeman."

Then Officer Megure became entangled between "Palice" and "Presse", and it wasn't until Officer Takagi interrupted in a low voice that he brought the topic back from English. Officer Megure said to Takagi with some embarrassment: "In short,

Officer Takagi, the current investigation is focused on the cause of this man’s death.”

"Yes, according to guests who were nearby at the time, no suspicious characters were found in this amusement park at the time of the incident, wandering near the victim. Guests around Mr. Oto also said that he did not eat during the fight.

Anything, so I think the possibility of suicide can be ruled out."

After listening to Takagi's report, Megure walked to Oto's body and saw the strangely dressed body. He was a little surprised and said, "Why is he dressed like this? It's like he is in a science fiction movie."

"Because this is a virtual reality game machine," a waiter wearing black and white overalls walked up to Memu and explained. A murder occurred in the video game city, which would definitely affect their business. No one hopes to solve the case as soon as possible than the staff here.

"As long as the player participates in the fighting, when the character on the screen suffers a blow, the body in reality will also suffer the same damage."

"What? Will you get hurt in reality?"

"Yes, for example, if the leg of a character on the screen is attacked, the leg of the real character will also feel the attack, and it will feel like a real blow."

"No, is it possible that the cause of his death was that the blow was too strong?" Mumu pinched his chin suspiciously, and everyone present was speechless. If that is the case, this game would be too dangerous, it is simply

Are you playing with your life?

"This police officer, it is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen. Although the player will be hit, it will only be a slight vibration at best, and the intensity is about the same as the vibration of a mobile phone. Have you ever seen anyone die due to the vibration of a mobile phone?"

Looking at the man who suddenly interrupted while chewing bubble gum, Officer Memaku asked as usual: "Then who are you?"

"My name is Shimizu Takaho, and I am the player who was still competing with this guy just before he kicked his legs. I don't want to be regarded as a murderer because of this incident."

"And if you really talk about it, I should be the one who got beaten the hardest. I only attacked him two or three times in the whole game. The rest of the time I just chewed gum. Just talking about it makes me angry...

"

After understanding everyone's confessions, Mu Mu frowned and said, "It seems that the cause of this person's death is really a mystery."

"Yes," Takagi nodded and looked at the information he recorded, "There are obviously no external injuries on the deceased."

"Could it be that he died of poisoning?" Conan, who didn't know when he came to the corpse and began to examine it, raised his head with an "innocent" look on his face, as if he was just a child raising a possibility, "I

It seems that this uncle died of suffocation, but there are no traces of strangulation on his neck, so don’t you think it’s possible that he died of poisoning?”

Takagi awkwardly picked up Conan and sent him to Officer Megure. It is not good to let a child wander around a murder scene, although this child has seen many murder scenes. "Don't touch the corpse, Conan."

…”

"But Conan, you have to know that this uncle died suddenly while playing a game. Witnesses also pointed out that he didn't eat anything during the fight. If he drank someone's medicine from the beginning, his face would look natural.

It's impossible for him to be in a good state, and others should obviously see his physical discomfort." At this point, Mu Mu turned his head and looked at Mao Lilan and his group who remained silent, "Xiaolan, have you ever noticed his condition?

Does your body show signs of discomfort?"

"He was in good spirits when he defeated Xiaolan." Suzuki Sonoko, who had no favorable impression of this man at all, sounded disdainful. His attitude just now was simply too irritating, okay?

"Officer Megure, it's possible that someone injected him with a syringe."

"Hahahaha," after hearing Conan's words, the Memaku police officer laughed a few times and patiently explained to Conan: "If someone really did this, he would definitely say something like 'What are you doing?'

, this way other guests will naturally notice it.”

"However, Officer Megure, this is a video game center. It's so quiet now because of a case, and all the machines have been turned off. Under normal circumstances, even if you speak loudly, people who are concentrating on playing games will not notice it.

ah."

"This uncle's hands and feet are tied to this game console, so he can't move as he wants. Even if he is pricked by the murderer with a needle, it will not cause any reaction from others."

"It turns out that when the victim was unprepared, even if he screamed, he would be covered up by other sounds in the game center. Moreover, most people's attention was watching the duel at that time. Even if someone wanted to poison him, it would not be impossible.

It's possible." Officer Memaku thought thoughtfully, then turned to several criminal policemen who were following him and said: "Send this body to a judicial autopsy to determine the cause of his death first."

"Okay, everyone, now we have to filter out the possible suspects first," Megure stood in front of everyone, while Takagi looked around at the people present with some embarrassment, "Officer Megure, there are currently nearly 30 guests present.

It was extremely difficult to identify possible suspects."

According to Conan's statement, six people were successfully found. Judy looked up at the monitor hanging on the ceiling, "There is one more person." Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the monitor.

"Sir, do you have any video recordings from today on your monitor?" Takagi walked towards the dumb-looking waiter at Momu's signal.

"Well, yes... yes, I will take you to the monitoring room."

"Okay, Takagi, while you are here, don't let anyone leave the video game center until we identify the suspect."

"Yes, Officer Megure!"

"Then, police officers, please come with me." With that said, the waiter led everyone towards the monitoring room.

"Creak~Creak~"

Conan, who was last, heard a strange sound and looked around subconsciously, and then saw the figure of a familiar friend. Kurosawa Gin? Standing next to him was...Brother Jin En? They were also there

Let's play here.

"Let's go, Conan." Mao Lilan turned around and shouted to Conan, who was in a daze not far away.
