Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Chen Anxia knew that if he were the one in Kudo Shinichi's shoes, even with his celebrity status, Inspector Megure would never give him a kind look.

However, although Inspector Megure calmed his anger because of Shinichi Kudo's identity, he still drove Shinichi Kudo out of the crime scene.

After all, Shinichi Kudo is not only not a police officer, but also just a high school student. It is obvious that Inspector Megure would not allow Shinichi Kudo to get involved in this case.

Shinichi Kudo was somewhat helpless about this. He had originally wanted to point out the three suspicious points he had discovered, but the current timing was clearly not right. He could only find a more suitable time to bring up these three suspicious points.

A while later, Takagi Wataru, who was fast asleep, was also woken up by the flight attendant. He arrived at the crime scene and began to investigate the scene and conduct an autopsy on the body.

Soon, Takagi Wataru had preliminary results from the on-site investigation and a simple autopsy of the body.

Takagi Wataru's results were almost identical to those of Kudo Shinichi's previous findings.

Chen Anxia had expected this, but the flight attendants present were quite shocked and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Oh my god, did you hear that? The policeman's conclusion was almost exactly the same as that teenager's conclusion..."

"I heard that boy was just a high school student, I never expected him to have such amazing abilities..."

"That boy said he's a detective named Shinichi Kudo. Has any of you heard of him?"

"I don't know Shinichi Kudo, but I do know another high school detective."

"I also know another high school detective. Do you think we might be talking about the same person?"

"Then I'll count to three, and we'll say it together."

"One...two...three! Chen Anxia!"

"Chen Anxia!"

"Indeed, we were talking about the same person."

"How long do you think it would take Chen Anxia to solve this case?"

......

After overhearing the flight attendants' conversation, Inspector Megure was somewhat stunned, thinking with surprise, 'I didn't expect Shinichi to have such solid reasoning and analytical skills at murder scenes...'

Upon hearing Chen Anxia's name, Inspector Megure's eyes narrowed slightly as he murmured to himself, 'Chen Anxia, ​​the middle school boy who solved the Yamagata Prefecture ski resort mystery two years ago, causing a major upheaval in the Osaka police force...'

'His reasoning ability is truly terrifying. Even after studying his case-solving process multiple times, I still can't imagine how he was able to solve cases...'

Thinking it over, Inspector Megure couldn't help but glance at the deceased in the restroom. The flight attendant's conversation echoed in his mind, and he muttered to himself, "If it were him, he probably could have solved this case in less than half an hour..."

Takagi Wataru, who was standing nearby, also heard the flight attendants' conversation, as well as Inspector Megure's mutterings.

Subconsciously, Takagi Wataru realized that the "he" Megure Juuzou was referring to was Shinichi Kudo, who had just been investigating the crime scene, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Eh, was that boy really that strong? He was able to solve the case in less than half an hour?"

Upon hearing Takagi Wataru's words, Inspector Megure snapped out of his reverie and gently shook his head, replying, "I wasn't talking about him."

Without further explanation, Inspector Megure ordered, "Alright, now that we know the deceased has been dead for an hour or two, let's go find witnesses."

"Check if anyone was loitering near the toilet an hour or two before the murderer committed the crime."

Just as Inspector Megure finished speaking, Shinichi Kudo's voice rang out, "There are five suspects."

Then, to Inspector Megure's astonishment, Shinichi Kudo continued, "My seat is in the last row, so I've been observing the whole time."

“During that period, besides the victim, only four other people went to the toilet.”

Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but ask, "Wait, didn't you say there were five suspects? How come there are four now?"

Upon hearing this, Shinichi Kudo immediately turned his gaze to Chen Anxia, ​​who had been sitting in the corner, and said, "Because there is another person who, although he did not go to the toilet during that time, has the most suspicious behavior and attire."

"In my opinion, he is very likely to be an accomplice."

"Because he had been in the toilet for some time before the body was discovered."

"Therefore, the murder weapon that could not be found in the toilet was very likely disposed of by him."

"And if I remember correctly, he should be a first-class passenger, and first-class passengers have their own toilets, so why would he come to the economy class to use the toilet?"

Upon hearing Shinichi Kudo's words, Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi couldn't help but turn their gazes to Chen Anxia in the corner, their brows furrowing.

Without hesitation, Takagi Wataru stepped forward and asked Chen Anxia, ​​"Excuse me, could you please remove the covering from your face?"

And just then, Watson arrived.

Upon witnessing this scene, Hua Sheng went straight to Chen Anxia's side and asked, "Anxia, ​​what happened?"

"Anxia!?"

Upon hearing Watson's words, Inspector Megure, Shinichi Kudo, Ran Mouri, and the flight attendants present were all momentarily stunned, feeling that the name seemed somewhat familiar.

As Shinichi Kudo looked at Chen Anxia, ​​whose face was heavily concealed, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he muttered, "Could it be that he is...?"

Only Takagi Wataru was unaware of what had happened, and once again asked Chen Anxia to remove the covering from her face.

Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia slowly reached out and removed her mask and sunglasses, revealing her true face.

Then, Chen Anxia looked at Ran Mouri, who was completely stunned by seeing his true face, and smiled slightly, saying, "It's been a long time, Ran."

Then, Chen Anxia turned her gaze to the visibly shaken Shinichi Kudo and said with a smile, "And you, Kudo."

boom!

At that moment, a thunderclap suddenly erupted from the ground!

......

Chen Anxia's appearance was like a calm sea suddenly being stirred up by a raging storm, leaving everyone present astonished and deeply shocked.

Among them, Ran Mouri, who had been greeted by Chen Anxia, ​​was the first to react. Looking at Chen Anxia with surprise and excitement, she asked, "Anxia, ​​what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Ran Mouri's reaction, Shinichi Kudo immediately felt incredibly sour, as if he had eaten several pounds of lemons, and he couldn't care less about the shock of reuniting with Chen Anxia.

Before Chen Anxia could speak, Shinichi Kudo said directly, "Fool, since he's taking this plane, he must be going to Los Angeles just like me."

As he spoke, Shinichi Kudo looked at Chen Anxia with great displeasure and continued, "Given his current status, if he were to go to Los Angeles at this time, it would either be for a leisure vacation or he would have some work plans there."

"Like movie auditions, magazine photoshoots, and things like that..."

Chen Anxia didn't have any particular thoughts on Shinichi Kudo's reasoning. In his opinion, it was only natural that Shinichi Kudo could reason to this extent.

Watson, however, seemed somewhat surprised.

Two years ago at a ski resort in Yamagata Prefecture, Watson had met Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Mouri, and Shinichi Kudo because of Chen Anxia, ​​but this was the first time he had witnessed Shinichi Kudo's deduction.

However, Watson didn't think much of it, because anyone with a little knowledge of observation, association, and logic could do this level of reasoning.

Ran Mouri didn't think much of it, and after hearing Shinichi Kudo's words, a look of realization appeared on her face.

Ran Mouri ignored Shinichi Kudo and looked at Anxia Chen with a pure smile, saying, "Anxia, ​​it's been a long time since we last met."

"If Sonoko knew that I would actually run into you here, she would be incredibly jealous."

This smile was a genuine smile from Ran Mouri, making the already beautiful and lovely Ran even more stunning, leaving Shinichi Kudo, who was standing next to her, somewhat mesmerized.

This intensified Shinichi Kudo's jealousy, and he thought to himself, 'I've hardly ever seen Ran smile like that, and now she's showing it to this guy? How infuriating...'

Chen Anxia took in the whole scene, remaining outwardly calm but inwardly amused, and replied, "I contacted Yuanzi a few days ago, and she said she wanted to organize a get-together for the three of us."

As she spoke, Chen Anxia deliberately looked at Shinichi Kudo, and said in surprise as if she had just remembered something, "Oh, right, she didn't seem to mention that she wanted Shinichi to come to this gathering. Maybe she forgot."

Upon seeing this, Shinichi Kudo clenched his teeth, looking utterly furious, and thought to himself, 'That Sonoko is truly despicable.'

'Why did you bring Xiaolan along to your gathering?'

Thinking this, Shinichi Kudo glanced at Chen Anxia, ​​his mind continuing, 'No, this guy is too dangerous. I absolutely can't let Ran be alone with him. I want to go to that party too...'

The exchange between Chen Anxia, ​​Shinichi Kudo, and Ran Mouri lasted only about twenty seconds, while the others present gradually came to their senses.

After regaining his senses, Takagi Wataru originally wanted to ask Chen Anxia for advice.

However, the flight attendants present had already turned into Chen Anxia's fans, surrounding her and constantly expressing their feelings to their idol.

"Chen Anxia, ​​I like you so much, can I take a picture with you and get your autograph?"

"I want it too, I want it too!"

Do you have any plans for your next movie?

"Do you have any work arrangements in Los Angeles this time?"

"Could you tell me about the process of solving the mysterious ski resort case from two years ago in Yamagata Prefecture?"

......

Takagi Wataru was blocked outside the human wall formed by the flight attendants, but he seemed flustered as he tried to approach Chen Anxia to ask her questions.

Seeing this, Inspector Megure ordered, "Takagi, you and Shinichi go and bring the other four suspects over here."

Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back to Kudo Shinichi's side without hesitation, saying to Kudo Shinichi, "Excuse me, could you please lead the way and help me find my way?"

Shinichi Kudo naturally had no objection to this and directly took Wataru Takagi to find the other four suspects.

Of course, Shinichi Kudo also brought Ran Mouri along.

In Shinichi Kudo's view, he is currently only in the stage of unrequited love. Although he doesn't want to admit it, Chen Anxia is indeed too outstanding, not to mention her charm and attraction to young girls.

Under such circumstances, the sense of crisis brought about by Chen Anxia was unprecedented.

Therefore, Shinichi Kudo would not allow Ran Mouri and Anxia Chen to be alone together.

Even though the two had officially established a romantic relationship, Shinichi Kudo didn't want Ran Mouri and Anxia Chen to get too close; this is the selfishness that every man has.

Since Chen Anxia was currently surrounded by flight attendants, Ran Mouri had no objection to Shinichi Kudo bringing her along.

A few minutes later, Shinichi Kudo, Ran Mouri, and Wataru Takagi returned with five people.

By this time, the flight attendants had gradually calmed down, obediently listened to Chen Anxia's words, and automatically stepped aside, no longer disturbing the investigation.

When Inspector Megure saw that Wataru Takagi and Shinichi Kudo had returned with five people, he asked with some confusion, "Weren't there four people? How come there are five?"

Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru replied, "This Mr. Saginuma Noboru is a good friend of those two women. He followed along because he was worried."

Inspector Megure nodded slightly upon hearing this, no longer dwelling on the issue, and instead said to the suspects present, "Alright, everyone is here this time."

"Let's start with Chen Anxia's account of her trip to the restroom, and why she came to the economy class restroom."

The other suspects who arrived later were all taken aback when they heard Inspector Megure's words, and then they noticed Chen Anxia standing in front of the group of flight attendants.

The next moment, a female suspect named Tachikawa Chizuru, with long hair, couldn't help but get excited and looked at Chen Anxia with great enthusiasm, saying, "May I take a picture with you?"
