Stay away from Conan

Chapter 639 Past events

Hearing what Kogoro said, Conan, who had been innocently punched on the head, covered his head in frustration, and looked helplessly at the man who was still lying on the bed beside him, still breathing while he and others were talking like this. The old policeman who fell asleep——

In this regard, Conan only felt that the other party who played the second movement of "Moonlight" in the radio station would really give up the opportunity just because this unreliable old policeman was present?

And this idea is also something that Gao Yuan finds strange. Logically speaking, given the current situation in which the old policeman is sleeping so hard, the old policeman may have fallen asleep before the man got here. This possibility is not zero, so the other party can be said to have a complete chance of taking action.

However, since there are no other clues at the moment, there is no better way to pursue the matter at this point.

Seeing that it was already very late, Gao Yuan suggested:

"It's already very late, and it's almost time for us to rest. However, just in case, we'll take turns keeping vigil."

No one has any objection to this.

So, starting at 11:30 in the evening, everyone took turns to start the vigil...

…

It's night, early in the morning.

When Jinguji Reito woke up in the middle of the night, thinking that it was almost time to change his shift to watch the night, Jinguji Reito got up from the bed where the quilt was spread, and looked around, wanting to change his shift with the people who were still keeping vigil at this time.

However, when he looked around carefully with his eyes hazy, Jinguji Reito discovered that there was no night watchman in the piano room of the community activity center where he was at this time.

After carefully looking at the people lying around and sleeping, Jinguji Reito immediately discovered that Gao Yuan, who volunteered to be the first person to stay vigil, was not here.

So, feeling a little strange, Jinguji Reito immediately got out of the quilt, tried his best to move as lightly as possible, so as not to wake up the sleeping people, and then began to look for traces of Takato——

Come to think of it, it's impossible for Gao Yuan to have an accident, right? And it didn't wake us up.

With this idea in mind, Reito Jinguji walked out of the piano room lightly. He first searched around other rooms in the community activity center. After finding no trace of Gao Yuan, he chose to walk out of the community activity. The door of the center came to the outside——

Then, it was obvious that Jinguji Reito saw a figure wearing a windbreaker, standing on the beach at this time, seeming to be looking into the distance very solemnly.

Obviously, this figure is Gao Yuan.

Seeing this, Reito Jinguji felt something strange thoughtfully, and walked towards Gao Yuan. Then, under the light of the full moon, Reito Jinguji saw that Gao Yuan was holding a hand in one hand at this moment. While keeping track of time on his mobile phone, he was paying attention to a floating wooden board on the sea surface, seeming to be calculating the current——

"The rise and fall of the tide will have obvious deviations in the speed and direction of the water flow. When we found Hideo Kawashima, it happened to be when the sea water reached its highest tide. Now, the tide has long since fallen."

In this regard, Jinguji Reito, who understood Takato's plan, couldn't help but tried to persuade him.

After hearing this, after hearing who the visitor was, Gao Yuan turned his head, looked at Jinguji Reito behind him, sighed helplessly, and replied with a faint expression:

"I know this too. But I just want to simply calculate the flow rate of the seawater... If the flow rate is too low, it will only take more than an hour. It is really possible that the body will be pushed to the island office by the ocean current... "

"So, you are suspecting that there is another hidden reason behind Hideo Kawashima's death?"

Faced with Takato's statement, Jinguji Reito asked slightly surprised.

"It can only be said that there are too few clues and nothing can be determined yet."

Gao Yuan shook his head and said so.

"So, can you now confirm the possibility that Hideo Kawashima jumped into the sea and drowned, and was then pushed to the island office by the ocean current?"

Jinguji Reito couldn't help but ask.

"The speed of the ocean current is sufficient, so this possibility cannot be ruled out. The only thing left is to know whether the direction of the ocean current at high tide was correct..."

Gao Yuan helplessly told this almost meaningless result.

In response, Jinguji Reito just nodded slightly, and then said:

"It's shift change, Detective Akechi. Go get some rest."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded, then put away his phone and prepared to return to the community activity center——

"By the way, Section Chief Jinguji, I remember you said before that although you investigated the issue of Moon Shadow Island after the incident involving Director Tsukawa of the Miwa Library, you mentioned this before. It’s also related to the incident involving illegal drugs during the student movement on the Shinkansen. In that case, did you really find out nothing from those students?”

Suddenly, Jinguji Reito was slightly surprised to hear Gao Yuan suddenly ask about this matter, but after thinking about it, he still felt a little helpless and shook his head, and replied:

"It can't be said that it doesn't exist. It's just that according to the investigation, this clue seems to be related to an incident that happened in their school five years ago. But we can't trace it here."

"Why?"

Gao Yuan said doubtfully.

"Well... I wonder if Detective Akechi has ever heard of a female student jumping off a building at King's Road University five years ago?"

After thinking for a moment, Reito Jinguji asked.

As for this question, Gao Yuan wanted to shake his head directly because of the time "five years ago". After all, he had only been in this world for a year, how could he possibly know what happened five years ago.

However, when the school name "Kingdao University" appeared, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment——

Because, I actually know this school, and it is in the original work.

Since there weren't many universities that appeared in the original work, and the name of this university was very special, Gao Yuan was quite impressed.

And if I remember correctly, the original incident about this university was...

And Jinguji Reito mentioned this...

Illegal drugs?

oh! Come to think of it.

A female college student was falsely accused of selling illegal drugs on campus, and then was found in the locker room with illegal drugs in her possession. So, in order to prove her innocence, she jumped from the school building.

"The girl who was falsely accused of selling illegal drugs?"

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan asked rhetorically.

In response, Jinguji Reito couldn't help but nodded, and said with some surprise:

"Detective Akechi also thinks that girl was framed?"

"I have heard rumors, and it seems that the masterminds are two other students with strong family backgrounds."

Seeing Jinguji Reito's answer, Gao Yuan knew that he remembered correctly, so he couldn't help but nodded affirmatively.

"Yes... Representative Shibasaki's daughter, the daughter of the president of Anzai Global Construction. Before there is clear evidence, even if there are rumors, we can only conduct some simple investigations, but in the end we found nothing."

Jinguji Reito said slightly helplessly.

"In other words, the incident of students transporting illegal drugs on the Shinkansen is because they are also studying at King's University, so you think this incident is related to the incident of a girl who jumped from the building five years ago? However, because five years ago, The incident a year ago itself is an unsolved case, so you can't continue the investigation? "

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Jinguji Reito nodded affirmatively.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan thought for a while and suddenly said:

"Then...you have never doubted—their school's tutor?"
