Chapter 163 Ghosts? Non-existent
"This, how is this possible? This is impossible!" Shiratiao was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. After asking for a long time, no one saw the murderer. This was the first time he encountered such a strange thing.
Frightened, Shiratori swallowed and truthfully reported the incident to Officer Megure.
Sure enough, after hearing the report, Officer Memu's face turned very ugly. This matter was vaguely beyond his jurisdiction.
"Okay, I get it. To be on the safe side, I'd better check the nearby surveillance cameras. Maybe they'll capture something."
"yes."
Upon hearing Officer Shiratori's remarks, Okino's eyes flashed with thought.
‘No one noticed? Is it an illusion!?’
The difficulty of the illusion is not high, it is just a very basic magic that disrupts people's vision. As a black magician, it is not surprising that he would use this kind of magic to go wild. What surprised him was another point.
If it's the same as before, then the perpetrator should be a corpse, that is, a dead person. How could it be possible for a dead person to cast an illusion? Or... the mastermind behind the crime was nearby at the time of the crime.
Okino, who wanted to understand all this, narrowed his eyes and looked around hurriedly to find the murderer. Unfortunately, as long as the other party did not use magic, he was no different from ordinary people, and more than half an hour had passed since the incident.
, the mastermind behind it must have left long ago.
'Hey, I'm overthinking it. How could the murderer still be here?'
He shook his head and laughed at himself.
Conan, who had been observing Okino since just now, felt even more strange. Taking advantage of this free time, Conan tugged on Okino's clothes.
"Okino, come here."
"What's wrong?"
"Hey, what happened? I just saw that Officer Megure's expression looked ugly." Conan still refused to give up. The more Okino said this, the more curious Conan became. The previous warning had the opposite effect.
Okino raised his eyebrows and shook his head gently: "Conan, this matter is really not something you can handle. I might as well tell you that this case has been reported to Manager Matsumoto by Officer Megure. In principle,
This case is no longer handled by the search class."
"What, report it to the administrator, is it so serious?" Conan was shocked.
"That's right, I guess the higher authorities will dispatch relevant departments to intervene in this matter."
"Relevant departments? What departments?"
"have no idea."
"Um..." Conan half-squinted his eyes, expressionless.
Okino chuckled, "You can't blame me for that. I just have this idea. After all... this matter shouldn't be something that little policemen like us can handle. Who knows what departments they will come up with."
Having said that, Okino doesn't have much hope for those policemen. After all... only magic can defeat magic.
Like Conan, although no clues were found, Okino's attention to this case has not diminished. However, as a forensic doctor, the information he can obtain is pitiful. Even if there is any action above, it is not
He is something that a small forensic doctor can know.
This is where Okino is most helpless. The only clue now is sulfur.
"Damn it!" Conan was so angry that he didn't tell him the truth.
After a while, Officer Shiratiao hurriedly ran over from a distance.
"Officer Memu has good news. The surveillance video captured what happened at the time of the crime, but..." Shiratori hesitated a little, and his expression was a little strange, as if he had seen something incredible.
After hearing this news, Officer Megu's face finally looked much better.
"But what?"
"This..." Officer Shiratori's expression changed again and again, "Officer Megure, you better go and see for yourself, this thing... is too weird."
"Okay, let's go."
Seeing this, Okino called Conan and followed him.
The surveillance footage came from a camera in front of the supermarket on one side. After entering the supermarket, a group of four people went straight to the surveillance room in the back room.
"Shiratori, please."
"good."
Shiratori adjusted the picture to the time of the crime and pressed the play button.
"This is?"
On the screen, a man who was covered up tightly was walking swaying on the roadside. Even with the surveillance screen, it was difficult to see the other person's face clearly. This man's clothes were the same as before, and he was slovenly and slovenly.
Dirty and messy, like a beggar.
Immediately afterwards, Moritani Teiji, disguised as a bomber, appeared, and unfortunately the two people bumped into each other. Then, for some reason, Moritani Teiji quarreled with the murderer, and then... the accident happened like this
, the murderer stretched out his hands and pinched Professor Moritani's neck firmly.
Perhaps the murderer was too powerful or for some other reason. After Professor Moritani resisted to no avail, he finally died on the roadside without making a sound.
The most frightening thing is that the passers-by turned a blind eye to what the murderer did, as if they didn't even realize that a murder had happened around them.
It wasn't until shortly after the murderer left that passers-by were surprised to find a strange man lying on the side of the road. When they walked in and checked, they discovered that this strange man had stopped breathing long ago.
This is roughly what happened. After watching the surveillance video, everyone including Officer Memu looked unhappy. It was really weird. It was like the murderer was killing people around you, but you didn't notice the other person's presence at all.
, and then left calmly without a leaf touching him.
This kind of thing that only happens in horror movies actually appears in the real world. Is it because they haven't woken up or the world has changed? No one can tell them the answer. They say seeing is believing. This is the first and only time.
Officer Shiratori became suspicious of what he saw.
The uncle was also frightened and stared at the surveillance screen with eyes wide open in disbelief. The scene just now was played over and over again in his mind. The weird scene was unforgettable for him and kept stimulating his brain nerves.
"Gulu! What...what is going on? Why...why didn't anyone notice the murderer?" The uncle asked in confusion.
Similarly, Conan was also frightened by the scene in front of him. He is a standard atheist, but the scene on the surveillance video slightly shaken what he has always believed in. But... this
The slight tremor quickly dissipated.
'No, no, the murderer must have used some kind of trick to manipulate the monitor. If that's true...' Conan's eyes unconsciously drifted towards the owner of the supermarket.
Among the people present, only Okino Shimo's expression did not change, as if he was not surprised at all by the scene captured on the monitor. This is because the illusion only affects the human visual nerve and has no effect on those cold machines.
.
Of course, if illusions also have an effect on those cold extremes, then... this enemy is definitely not powerful enough for Okino alone. I am afraid that with just one illusion, the life and death of the entire Tokyo can be determined by that person's thoughts.
between.
"Ahem, okay, the matter is like this. I think the murderer should have changed the picture on the surveillance video. Maybe the murderer this time is a computer expert." After thinking for a long time, Officer Megu had no choice but to use this excuse.
Be perfunctory.
If what happened before had not happened, Officer Megure would really think like this, and I'm afraid anyone would think like this.
