Chapter 55: Inspector Megure
After receiving Conan's call to the police, Inspector Megure did not dare to delay at all. He immediately put down his busy work and rushed to the crime scene in a hurry. He knew that this case was of great importance and that he had to act quickly. After arriving at the scene, he quickly set up a cordon without hesitation and sealed off the entire area to prevent unauthorized personnel from destroying the scene or interfering with the investigation.
When Inspector Megure walked into the restaurant cautiously, he looked around nervously, eagerly searching for Kogoro Mouri. However, to his surprise, the famous detective did not show up at the scene. Inspector Megure couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, thinking how good it was that this plague god was not around.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, a voice suddenly came: "Inspector Megure." Inspector Megure turned his head with a surprised expression on his face: "Haha, it's Brother Lin Yu! Why are you here?" It turned out that the person standing in front of him was Lin Yu.
Lin Yu smiled helplessly and explained, "I came here to eat with my wife, but I didn't expect to run into such bad luck. What a coincidence!"
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Inspector Megure's face became solemn, and he asked worriedly: "Brother Lin Yu, is this another supernatural incident?"
Lin Yu quickly said, "Don't worry, Inspector Megure. I just looked carefully, it's just an ordinary corpse, there shouldn't be anything special."
Inspector Megure sighed with relief: "That's good. I don't want to run into that kind of weird thing again. The last case was really a headache for us."
Last time, Inspector Megure was scolded by his boss and almost lost his job. There was no other way, with so many people reporting at the same time, someone had to take the blame. The Metropolitan Police Department didn't dare to cause trouble for Lin Yu, so he had to take it.
Thinking of this, Inspector Megure felt helpless. But there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was just a small policeman and could not go against his superiors. Moreover, failure to do so could lead to greater trouble. Therefore, he could only endure it all silently.
"However, this time I'll have to trouble you to help with the investigation. After all, your abilities are evident to everyone," Inspector Megure said flatteringly.
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you. However, I hope that you police officers can also actively cooperate and provide the necessary clues and information."
Inspector Megure agreed repeatedly, "Of course, we will give you our full support. By the way, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed. He was a waiter in this small restaurant. He was a student at a nearby school and came here to work. The preliminary judgment is that the time of death was late last night. The specific circumstances need further investigation."
Hearing this, Lin Yu frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "So, did you find any suspicious items or traces? Such as murder weapons, footprints, etc."
Inspector Megure shook his head. "We haven't found anything suspicious yet. The scene looks clean, and there are no obvious signs of a fight. However, we will continue to search carefully and not miss any clues."
Lin Yu scanned his surroundings and found Conan acting stealthily nearby. His eyes suddenly lit up. Professional matters should be done by professionals. Besides, this trouble was caused by this guy, so let him do the brainwork.
Chapter 56: Bullying Conan
"Conan, have you found any clues?" Lin Yu sneaked up behind Conan like a ghost and asked in a sinister tone.
"Waaaaaah!" Conan was startled and screamed, almost falling to the ground.
"Hahahahaha..." Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Conan's reaction, "You are too timid, little Conan~"
"Hmph! Brother Lin Yu just knows how to scare people!" Conan pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, no more jokes, let's get down to business." Lin Yu put away his smile and asked Conan seriously, "How is it, have you found any clues?"
Conan nodded seriously, "Well, we have found something, but it's not enough to determine who the murderer is."
"Oh?" Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What did you find? Tell me about it~"
Conan was about to answer when he suddenly realized that he was just an elementary school student and should not show such a high IQ and reasoning ability, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Haha, Brother Lin Yu, I'm just a child, how can I know who the murderer is?" After saying that, he showed an innocent smile.
Looking at Conan's cute look of pretending to be stupid, Lin Yu couldn't help but have bad thoughts. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he stretched out his hand to rub his hair hard, making his hair a mess.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Conan waved his hands, trying to stop Lin Yu's "violence", "Brother Lin Yu, don't mess up my hair!"
However, Lin Yu seemed not to hear it and rubbed it even harder.
"Wow...Brother Lin Yu is so bad!" Conan stomped his feet in anger, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Seeing this, Lin Yu burst into laughter and finally stopped what he was doing.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me the clues quickly." Lin Yu squatted down, looked at Conan straight in the eye, and said gently.
Conan curled his lips, tidied his messed up hair, and then told Lin Yu all the clues he had found.
...
Lin Yu was surprised and said, "Oh, you mean this is a criminal gang that is trafficking in human beings?"
"Well, judging from the clues we have so far, that's true." Conan nodded and replied, then he added: "This woman has marks from the ropes on her hands and feet, and there are some other scars on her body, indicating that she had been abused before her death." After saying that, Conan pointed to the wounds on the woman's body with a serious expression.
"If this is true, then we must find the lair of this criminal gang as soon as possible and rescue the other trafficked people."
However, Conan frowned and said helplessly, "But I don't have enough evidence now, so I can't determine the specific location of the criminal gang." After that, he fell into deep thought.
"Leave the rest to me."
After saying that, Lin Yu closed his eyes, and his powerful perception covered the area. In his perception, he could see everything within a hundred meters.
Soon, Lin Yu discovered this criminal gang in the basement of an old warehouse. He used his teleportation skill, disappeared from the spot in an instant, and then appeared under the warehouse. As soon as you enter this place, a strong stench hits your nose, making you feel sick. The surrounding environment was extremely bad, dirty and in a mess. There were a few hooligans at the door, drinking and playing cards in groups of three or five, making a lot of noise and acting recklessly.
In the corner, a dozen girls huddled together, shivering, their faces filled with fear and helplessness. They all had scars of varying degrees on their bodies, some even bleeding, and it was obvious that they had suffered cruel abuse. What is even more heartbreaking is that two or three of the girls were lying quietly on the ground, motionless, their lives or deaths unknown.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yu's anger erupted like a volcano. How could these scumbags treat innocent girls so cruelly! Lin Yu decided not to let them go and to make them pay the most painful price.
So, he acted without hesitation and wiped out the criminals in one fell swoop, leaving them no chance to breathe. Not only that, Lin Yu also followed the clues and found out a lot of information about buyers from here. Lin Yu was equally ruthless towards those buyers involved in human trafficking, and killed them all one after another.
