Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

Chapter 167 The murderer is actually someone else?

"Why are you here?"

When Lex saw Tail Feather Wenshu and Ian, he couldn't help but frown, but then he quickly regained his composure: "Something unexpected happened here, but don't worry, go back to your room first, it will be resolved soon."

Baichuan Qiu explained helplessly, "It's like this, Mr. Lex, Makino... Ian heard about what happened here and was very worried about his sister, so he wanted to come and see."

Lex looked down at the boy next to Shirakawa Akane. Kudo Shinichi cooperated by looking up with a look of hope and worry on his face: "Sister will be fine, right?"

After staring into those blue eyes for a long time, Lex finally said, "It's natural."

"That's good." The young man breathed a sigh of relief and a smile returned to his face.

"By the way, Mr. Lex, I think you should know something about the situation." Bai Chuanqiu suddenly said, "Ian and I just went up to take a look and found that there seemed to be something wrong with the scene of the fall."

Lex paused as he was about to leave, and Kudo Shinichi also looked at Shirakawa Akane in surprise.

Doesn’t Mr. Shirakawa want to help solve the case?

Lex also looked at the man in front of him suspiciously, "You? What problem did you find?"

"Well, actually it wasn't me, it was Young Master Ian." Shirakawa Akane nudged Kudo Shinichi. "Young Master Ian wanted to help, so he went to the scene and found traces of what appeared to be a device."

He paused, then asked tentatively, "Mr. Lex, can you confirm that the lady fell from the building because of the young lady?"

Lex's face darkened slightly.

Kudo Shinichi also nodded. "Yes, I saw an irregular pool of water where I fell from the building. There was also a vertical scratch on the carved ball of the railing, and there was a small gap on the outside of the bottom. It looked a bit strange."

After listening to the two people's explanation, Lex held his chin with his hand, and his eyes flashed with thought and coldness.

"Morgana, that—" Lex wanted to say "idiot," but seeing the two people in front of him, he swallowed the word and paused before continuing, "She drank some wine and wasn't in a good state. She didn't tell me the details of what happened."

In fact, Morgana was indeed a little dizzy from drinking, and Lex naturally had no mood to stay with Morgana who had caused trouble. He just asked a few questions and left immediately.

Because Morgana readily admitted to pushing someone and also cursed and insulted the victim, Lex and Green Chat naturally had preconceived notions and only thought about how to save Morgana, without considering whether there was something fishy behind this matter.

But now, what Shirakawa Akane and Kudo Shinichi said made Lex vaguely aware that something was wrong.

"Although I'm a lawyer, I've also taken on many cases at Sakura, so I have some deductive reasoning skills," Shirakawa continued. "I've come across cases like this before. My employer was tricked by a friend and made a scapegoat. If the police hadn't discovered something unusual, I'm afraid my employer would have been charged with murder."

Lex's eyes grew even colder when he thought about who had deliberately framed him.

"I understand what Mr. Wei Yu meant." Lex nodded, then reached out and touched Kudo Shinichi's head, his tone much more intimate, "Thank you Ian and Mr. Wei Yu for the clues. I will investigate it immediately."

Kudo Shinichi smiled cooperatively, then asked in a low voice: "Can Mr. Oba and I watch from the side? This is the first time I've seen foreign police officers handling a case..."

Thinking of Ian's experience, Lex did not refuse, but said to Baichuanqiu: "Then I'll ask Mr. Weiyu to help take care of him. I will be very busy soon and may not be able to take care of Ian."

Bai Chuanqiu nodded: "Of course there is no problem."

Soon, the two, one big and one small, watched Lex walk up to Officer Karpman and point upstairs and say something.

Kudo Shinichi glanced at Shirakawa Akane secretly and moved closer carefully: "Mr. Shirakawa, why did you take the initiative to help them?"

Bai Chuanqiu glanced at him and said, "Your face is full of frustration and desire. Am I supposed to pretend not to see it?"

And...this step might help gain Green Chat's trust.

Baichuan Qiu pushed his glasses up, and a calculation flashed in his eyes.

"But if Morgana isn't the murderer, then the FBI won't be able to catch her, right?"

Baichuan Qiu: "Just kidding."

Kudo Shinichi's eyes widened: "Huh? Huh?"

Seeing the boy's surprised face, Bai Chuanqiu couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't you see where we are? This is the United States. Morganna has some shady Green Chat behind her. Even if Morganna is the murderer, they absolutely can't let the police take Morganna away."

If you're not careful, there will really be a fight.

Judging from Officer Kappman's personality, he probably wouldn't dare to take the person away by force under pressure.

"Given the Clausen family's current influence and capabilities, the person who ultimately goes with the police is most likely the lawyer hired by Green Chart."

Morgana won't show up at all.

This is the confidence and strength of a big family.

After hearing what Shirakawa Akane said, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but be shocked.

This is really... even more outrageous than he imagined.

"So instead of letting them go back and forth, why not take this opportunity for you to bring them together."

Kudo Shinichi understood what Shirakawa Qiu said and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shirakawa, I thought you really didn't intend to take care of this matter."

Baichuan Qiu solemnly stated: "Everything is for the mission."

Kudo Shinichi nodded: "Yes, catch the real culprit and win over everyone!"

The system quietly interjected, "It's obvious that the host was afraid that the little detective would secretly make a move, so he took the initiative to attack."

Shirakawa Akane: "...I'm mainly worried that Kudo Shinichi will get carried away with the case and drug that seemingly honest Officer Kappaman."

There were too many smart people at the scene, and Baichuan Qiu felt that it was very necessary for him to take emergency shelter.

System: "But host, you won't be able to gain Lex's trust by doing this, right? I don't think he will accept you so easily."

Bai Chuanqiu shrugged: "My target was never him, and this trust is not the kind of trust you are talking about. You will understand later. And give the child some confidence, otherwise, look, the child is almost broken."

There was no significant progress made on the first day, and Kudo Shinichi was visibly anxious.

After all, it was the first time for him to have close contact with people from the organization and to go deep into the enemy to obtain useful intelligence. This was a completely novel experience for Kudo Shinichi.

The system sighed with emotion.

Shirakawa Akane ignored the system and focused his attention on the crime scene with Kudo Shinichi.

At this moment, because of the clues brought by Lex, the police also turned their attention to the crime scene upstairs.
