Chapter 630: You already know we're Gods of Death?

~5 min read 804 words

The two were discussing when Jodie's voice came from the doorway: "Inspector Megure, you're here."

Inspector Megure looked at Conan and Hattori Heiji in the room, pressed his hat, and complained helplessly:

"Conan? Hattori? I was wondering why you two are everywhere. Lord Akaso was right; you really are Gods of Death."

"Hahaha..." Conan and Hattori both laughed awkwardly.

That guy Akaso Kaze, how many people has he told that we're Gods of Death!

You have to know you're a famous Onmyoji; many people will believe what you say!

Conan squinted his eyes and scratched his head, acting cute: "What God of Death! It's just a coincidence, just a coincidence! I'm here to see Jodie-sensei today; I didn't expect to run into a case again."

Inspector Megure was a bit speechless, pointing at the room, his dead-fish eyes glaring at Conan and Hattori Heiji.

"Did you two investigate this room without authorization again, just like before?"

Hattori Heiji waved his hands even more awkwardly.

"Inspector Megure, don't worry about those details! Although we investigated it ourselves, we wore gloves and shoe covers; we definitely didn't disturb anything at the scene."

"You two..."

Inspector Megure pouted and turned to direct his subordinates.

The police immediately began to survey the scene, while Officer Takagi walked up to Conan and Hattori Heiji to inquire.

"Hattori-kun, we police met the deceased's girlfriend downstairs earlier."

"She said the deceased, Mr. Takai, committed suicide because she locked the door from the outside when she left with two other colleagues, making it impossible for anyone else to enter. May I ask, is what she said true?"

"Yes." Hattori Heiji nodded.

"Regarding the fact that the door was locked from the outside, we can testify that it is absolutely true. However, to say the victim committed suicide, that is likely incorrect."

"We speculate that the victim must have been murdered!"

"What? Murdered?" Inspector Megure and Officer Takagi were both stunned, and then their expressions became serious. "Do you have any evidence?"

"This..." Hattori Heiji was just about to answer when he saw the police bring in three people, who saluted Inspector Megure:

"Inspector Megure, Mr. Takai's girlfriend found the other two colleagues who were drinking this afternoon. These are the two: Mr. Nakamachi Tsuya and Mr. Kawakami Noboru."

Inspector Megure heard this and was about to greet them when Conan and Hattori Heiji already rushed over with bright eyes and asked:

"Mr. Nakamachi, Mr. Kawakami, hello! We have some questions we'd like to ask; is that okay?"

Nakamachi Tsuya and Kawakami Noboru looked at Conan and Hattori, a bit confused.

Why are a high schooler and a kid asking the questions, shouldn't it be the police?

Inspector Megure's mouth twitched, and a "vein" popped out on his forehead.

You two little guys, this is too much. Am I the Inspector or are you?

A few dozen minutes later, the questioning of Shimoda Chika, Nakamachi Tsuya, and Kawakami Noboru ended.

Inspector Megure frowned and said: "I see. Because Takai was drunk and swearing, Mr. Kawakami sent Mr. Takai into his bedroom and then left."

"After that, Ms. Shimoda drove Mr. Kawakami and Mr. Nakamachi home, returned to the apartment building, and wanted to take pictures of Mr. Takai's apartment to show her friends, so she was taking pictures downstairs, but didn't expect Mr. Takai to fall from the window."

"When Mr. Takai fell, Mr. Kawakami was on the phone with Mr. Takai, and not long before Mr. Takai fell, Mr. Nakamachi had sent a text message to Mr. Takai."

"That's the situation, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Shimoda, Nakamachi, and Kawakami all nodded.

Takagi checked the phone and said:

"Inspector Megure, Mr. Takai did indeed receive a call from someone named Kawakami Noboru. Also, about two minutes before this call, the phone received a text message from Nakamachi Tsuya."

"The content of the text is: 'You said that if you want to get ahead, you have to disregard human feelings; I cannot agree with that. Please also be more considerate of your subordinates' feelings.' That is the full text."

Hattori Heiji pinched his chin and pondered:

"Mr. Nakamachi's text message doesn't seem to have any problems, and Mr. Kawakami only talked to the deceased on the phone; it also seems very normal."

"It's really strange. What method did the killer use to make the deceased jump off the building? Hey, Conan, did you think of anything?"

Suddenly, a ringtone sounded from Hattori Heiji's body.

He was stunned for a moment, took out his phone from his pocket, pressed the answer button, and said: "Hello, who is this?"

The voice on the phone was intermittent and unclear.

"Hello, can't hear clearly? The signal here is really bad..."

Hattori Heiji was a bit helpless, looked around, and walked quickly to the balcony. ===== CHAPTER 632 =====
