Chapter 293 Will the God of Death discover that he is the God of Death?
In the afternoon, before Amuro Toru could ask, the TV above his head had already started broadcasting automatically—
"At 1:45 PM Tokyo time, a serious stampede occurred at the Beido Shopping Mall, resulting in multiple injuries and one death. Investigations have determined that the stampede was caused by human error. Police and detectives have launched an investigation—"
Toru Amuro raised his head and stared at the TV above his head in amazement, his gray-purple eyes filled with disbelief and shattered values.
Shirakawa Akane next to him was exceptionally calm. He slowly made himself a cup of tea, then raised it and gently clinked the glass in Amuro Toru's hand.
"Ding--"
The glass made a clear sound, and Amuro Toru finally turned his eyes away from the TV. His voice was hoarse and dry: "Shirakawa, how did you do it?"
Such a stampede happening in a shopping mall owned by the Nishizaki Group would have a negative impact on the Group no matter what, but this act...was a bit too destructive.
"I really didn't do anything." Bai Chuanqiu spread his hands innocently. "You saw it. I only went upstairs today. After that, I didn't go anywhere else, let alone contact anyone. How can this matter have anything to do with me?"
"But, but—" Amuro Toru was stuck for a moment, "You don't look surprised at all."
"So—"
Shirakawa Qiu patted Amuro Toru earnestly and said: "Sometimes, science is not omnipotent."
So, believe in science!
Toru Amuro: ? ? ?
What the hell is Baichuan talking about! Why can't he understand?
In the evening, Maori and his team, who finally solved the case, returned tiredly.
Conan saw Shirakawa Qiu and looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated: "Mr. Shirakawa, have you heard about what happened at the mall?"
Baichuan Qiu nodded: "I heard about it."
Conan: "Mr. Shirakawa, don't you have anything to say?"
Why did they have to go to that mall today, and as a result, a case really happened unexpectedly... Did Mr. Shirakawa know something in advance?
Bai Chuanqiu raised his head and spoke in a righteous voice, "Although there was indeed a murderer who fanned the flames in the stampede, it also indirectly shows that the mall's protection measures are not in place and there are still many safety hazards. Therefore, I think that such a mall should be temporarily closed for repairs to prevent the same thing from happening again."
He has already written a letter of complaint and a letter of report. I guess this newly opened shopping mall will be aborted soon. No need to thank me, hehe.
Conan asked, "Mr. Shirakawa...did you discover the murderer's plan in advance?"
Baichuan Qiu opened his eyes wide: "I didn't! Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a prophet."
Conan remained silent, his face full of disbelief.
——Otherwise how could it be such a coincidence.
Bai Chuanqiu was speechless.
No, why don’t any of them doubt themselves? Why would they doubt him?
He was just someone who discovered the rules and used them properly! What did he do wrong?
Baichuan Qiu was a little unconvinced. He stared at Conan for a long while, his eyes filled with resentment, and said in an extremely tactful tone: "Um - Conan, haven't you noticed that the frequency of your recent cases is a little bit higher?"
Conan pondered: "Is there?"
"There's none?"
"Uh..." Conan recalled, his tone gradually becoming guilty, "It seems... there is a little bit."
"So, Conan, is it possible that I predicted the possibility of this kind of murder in advance, so you think I knew something in advance?"
Conan: "It seems so...right?"
Why do I feel like I've been fooled by Mr. Shirakawa?
But it seems to make some sense.
"Is it really not Mr. Shirakawa who is fanning the flames?" Conan asked persistently.
Bai Chuanqiu sighed: "You personally investigated and solved this case. Did you find any problems? Is there someone else behind the murderer?"
Conan shook his head honestly: "No."
And he had to admit that he investigated the case with a suspicious attitude towards Baichuan Qiu.
But the result is obvious. Mr. Shirakawa has never been involved in this case, and the truth of the case itself has been revealed, the logic is clear, and there is no problem.
So, it can only be as Mr. Shirakawa said...
Is it his problem?
Conan fell into a strange silence again, but it was different from the last time. This time he was doubting himself.
Looking at Conan who had fallen into autism, Shirakawa Qiu took a few deep breaths to prevent himself from laughing.
System: "Host, you are so mean."
Baichuanqiu emphasized: "I'm just making use of the rules! And I've discovered that Conan is the best weapon! If you want someone dead, just take people for a few rounds. Even if the target doesn't die, both the suspect and the murderer will get some of it, right?"
If Conan was around back then, why would he bother studying the art of killing with a borrowed knife?
Wouldn’t it be great if you could avoid taking decades of detours?
Just thinking about it now makes Baichuan Qiu feel heartbroken.
Why had he been so stubborn before, insisting on taking a detour with the detective?
The detective was clearly his biggest treasure! Damn it! How much time had been wasted, how much energy had been wasted, sob…
System: "But if the host reveals it so directly, and the protagonist realizes that he solves cases every day and always has the misfortune of encountering a warm corpse, won't he really start to doubt the scientific nature of the world?"
Just thinking about it is quite terrifying.
Is it possible that people in the second world will discover that they are paper people?
Bai Chuanqiu was fearless: "But that's how it is. There is no science in this world. It's all science."
System: "...Host, you should comfort Conan. What if the child becomes autistic and refuses to go out? We should comfort him more!"
Baichuan Qiu: "Tsk...what a hassle."
He raised his hand and rubbed Conan's little head: "It's okay, Conan, don't blame yourself, this is your mission as a detective."
His tone was calm and resolute: "Work hard to bear witness to every story, resolutely uncover every truth, and believe that it is destiny that is calling you."
Hearing Baichuanqiu's words, Conan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, his light blue eyes full of confusion: "Eh? Mr. Baichuan, did you misunderstand something?"
Shirakawa Qiu's eyes widened: "Huh?"
Conan sighed, clenched his fists, and said in a heavy tone, "There have indeed been too many murders recently. This indirectly shows that this country needs us and needs detectives to reveal the truth. So, as Mr. Shirakawa said, murders are always possible. I should go out more often so that I can encounter more murders, uncover more truths, and help more people."
—and become an even better detective!
Baichuan Qiu was stunned.
what?
Is that what I mean?
Bro, are we not on the same page?
I said you were the god of death, you said you were the god of death saving people——
The system was also confused: "Ah? Is this possible?"
Bai Chuanqiu said in a gloomy tone: "We thought too much."
No wonder Megure Juzo always complained that Mouri Kogoro and Conan were walking gods of death, but Conan and the others never took it to heart.
Could this also be considered as the world’s repair and supplement to the plot?
Really served!
He really did hate detectives.
