Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Seeing the flight attendants at a loss and with terrified expressions, Shinichi Kudo did not hesitate and immediately went into the restroom to check if the tall man was really dead.

After confirming that the tall man had no pulse or breathing, Shinichi Kudo immediately instructed the flight attendant, "This man is dead. If there are no other clues, he was murdered."

"Please immediately cordon off the crime scene and prevent anyone from approaching to avoid causing unnecessary panic."

The flight attendants, who were initially at a loss, reacted as if they were drowning people grasping at a straw after hearing Shinichi Kudo's words. They immediately began contacting other flight attendants to come to the scene and help.

At the same time, the flight attendant also blocked the entrance to the crime scene, obeying Shinichi Kudo's instructions to prevent people coming from getting close.

But those who had already arrived were powerless to stop them.

However, most of those who had arrived earlier retreated immediately upon seeing the body and left the scene as soon as possible.

This stems not only from an instinctive fear of corpses and death, but also from a desire not to be involved in the case or get into trouble.

of course there are exceptions.

For example, at the scene, there was a mysterious person wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, with a unique aura, who was openly examining the corpse while also watching Shinichi Kudo's every move.

Without a doubt, this well-concealed and mysterious person is Chen Anxia.

As for Chen Anxia, ​​who was supposed to be in first class, the reason she appeared here so quickly is because...

Under Chen Anxia's watchful eye, Shinichi Kudo did not immediately conduct an autopsy. Instead, he spoke to the flight attendant again, saying, "Madam flight attendant, could you please lend me a camera?"

"I want to photograph the first crime scene and hand it over to the police later."

"Also, please send someone to monitor me to make sure that I don't hide anything, wipe anything away, or do anything else strange during the photo taking and the subsequent autopsy."

Upon hearing Shinichi Kudo's words, the flight attendant paused for a moment, then replied, "Ah, okay, no problem, I'll arrange it right away..."

Before the flight attendants could take any action, Shinichi Kudo continued, "Oh, and by the way, could you also make an announcement to ask if there's a doctor on board?"

"Although I can perform an autopsy on him, it would be better if a professional doctor were to perform the autopsy."

At this point, the flight attendants regarded Shinichi Kudo as their backbone. Although Shinichi Kudo looked too young, his rationality and professionalism made the flight attendants overlook this point.

Without the slightest hesitation, the flight attendant immediately began to implement Shinichi Kudo's instructions.

Seeing this, Chen Anxia, ​​who had been watching from outside the airplane lavatory, couldn't help but secretly admire Shinichi Kudo's meticulousness.

It's important to know that Shinichi Kudo is currently just a high school student and has no official status.

Under such circumstances, and given that Shinichi Kudo was the first known person to have come into contact with the corpse, there are many things that cannot be explained without witnesses.

According to police procedures, Shinichi Kudo will also be listed as a suspect.

The suspect had no right to access the primary crime scene, let alone the body.

After all, no one knows whether Shinichi Kudo is the murderer.

If so, wouldn't he be able to destroy some crucial evidence in the process?

Even if Shinichi Kudo wasn't a suspect, the police wouldn't allow an outsider, especially a high school student, to access the primary crime scene and the body.

This is understandable, because Shinichi Kudo, who is not a professional, might accidentally destroy some crucial evidence during the process.

For example, if Shinichi Kudo handles the stiff muscles of a corpse improperly, he may damage them, making it impossible to accurately determine the time of death.

On this airplane, it is neither possible nor feasible for a forensic doctor to determine the time of death through an autopsy.

Even if Shinichi Kudo didn't destroy any clues or evidence, who would know without someone to prove it? And who would really believe it?

In this situation, if the police cannot solve the case, they will likely blame Shinichi Kudo.

Shinichi Kudo was well aware of this, which is why he didn't rush into an autopsy and instead asked the flight attendants to monitor his every move in order to provide evidence for him.

In this respect, Shinichi Kudo did a very good job, and even Chen Anxia couldn't find any fault with him.

Of course, Shinichi Kudo had an even safer option: to have the flight attendants check if there were any police officers on board.

If so, then let the police handle it.

If not, Shinichi Kudo could have remained completely uninvolved and let the police handle the situation once the plane landed.

It's just that Shinichi Kudo didn't make that choice, or rather, if Shinichi Kudo had made that choice, he wouldn't be Shinichi Kudo.

Chen Anxia held this view.

Chen Anxia was unaware that this case was not only the first case she had directly encountered, but also the first case that Shinichi Kudo had directly encountered.

Therefore, the detective spirit that has begun to burn brightly within Shinichi Kudo will not let this case go, even if it will cause some trouble later.

Shinichi Kudo also knew that as long as he could find the culprit, everything would be fine.

As for whether he could find the culprit, Shinichi Kudo had no doubt about it and firmly believed that he could do it.

While waiting for the camera to be taken, Shinichi Kudo quietly observed the crime scene.

During this process, Shinichi Kudo noticed Chen Anxia, ​​who was well-concealed and appeared to be a highly suspicious person at the crime scene.

Naturally, because of Chen Anxia's careful concealment, Shinichi Kudo did not recognize Chen Anxia.

He simply made a mental note of Chen Anxia, ​​thinking to himself, 'I remember he was the last one to go to the toilet before the body was discovered.'

'From that time until the body was discovered, he never left the toilet...'

'From this perspective, he is highly suspicious...'

......

"Attention passengers, one passenger is currently experiencing a temporary health issue. If there is a doctor or nurse on board, please inform the flight attendant next to you."

"Ladies and gentlemen..."

......

Inspector Megure, who was taking a nap, was awakened by the noise around him.

After hearing about the flight attendant screaming, Inspector Megure decided to go and check on the situation.

Just then, the internal broadcast came on, and after hearing the content of the broadcast, Megure's tense mind immediately relaxed.

Then, Inspector Megure yawned, muttering sleepily, "So someone's not feeling well. I thought some case had happened..."

Before Inspector Megure could finish muttering to himself, he heard a hurried conversation from the side.

"Hey, I've gone over there and checked, it's a corpse!"

"really?"

"Yes, a man died in the toilet at the back. I was so scared that I ran back first..."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure's sleepy eyes instantly sharpened.

Seeing a flight attendant passing by, Inspector Megure didn't hesitate at all. He took out his police ID and said to the flight attendant, "I'm Inspector Megure from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. May I ask what's going on?"

After confirming that the police officer's ID was genuine, the flight attendant breathed a sigh of relief and then told Inspector Megure about it.

After confirming that a murder had occurred, Inspector Megure immediately got up and headed for the restroom.

In first class, Watson, who had just fallen asleep, was also awakened by the noise around him.

From the surrounding noise, Watson roughly knew what had happened, and his expression became serious, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Then, Watson wanted to wake up Chen Anxia, ​​who he thought was still 'asleep'.

However, when Watson looked toward Chen Anxia's seat, he found that Chen Anxia was no longer there.

After a brief moment of surprise, Watson roughly guessed where Chen Anxia would be.

Without the slightest hesitation, Watson headed towards the crime scene, which was the lavatory in economy class.

A similar scene also happened to Ran Mouri, but unlike Watson, Ran Mouri was unaware that Shinichi Kudo was already at the crime scene and was still searching for him.

Even Ran Mouri was still worried and afraid, wondering if the dead man in the restroom was the missing Shinichi Kudo.

Meanwhile, after taking photos of the scene from various angles and in detail, Shinichi Kudo began conducting an autopsy under the supervision of the flight attendants.

While performing the autopsy, Shinichi Kudo muttered to himself, "Judging from the state of the livor mortis and the stiffening of the jaw, the deceased has been dead for about one or two hours..."

"The victim's fatal wound was likely located in the spinal cord area of ​​the neck. The murder weapon was a pointed, blunt object, similar to an ice pick..."

"After being assassinated here, the respiratory neurons in his medullary respiratory center were damaged, rendering him unable to breathe, and he ultimately suffocated to death without calling for help..."

"The reason they didn't cry for help might be that they were forced to inhale some kind of sedative drug before being killed, causing them to fall into a deep sleep..."

In a corner outside the restroom, Chen Anxia silently watched Shinichi Kudo's autopsy, digitizing the autopsy data and combining it with his own known data to perform super-calculations in his mind and construct the corresponding scene model.

Of course, Chen Anxia definitely hoped that he could personally conduct the autopsy.

However, the door to the restroom was guarded by flight attendants, making it impossible for Chen Anxia to enter.

If Chen Anxia insists on going in, and if he is willing to expose his identity, although there is a high chance that he will be able to get in, it will undoubtedly increase suspicion on him and cause him trouble.

It should be noted that Chen Anxia is now a public figure, and her every move will be magnified and exploited by those with ulterior motives.

There will naturally be a lot of trouble then. Although Chen Anxia is not afraid of these troubles, he will have to spend time and energy to deal with them, which is not worth the effort.

Chen Anxia also knew that there might be a suitable opportunity later, at which time he would have the chance to personally conduct an autopsy.

In addition, Chen Anxia also believed in Shinichi Kudo's professionalism.

Although Shinichi Kudo cannot compare to a true professional, performing a simple autopsy on a corpse should not be a problem.

In the original story, Shinichi Kudo repeatedly solved one case after another through his autopsies.

Just then, Inspector Megure arrived at the crime scene.

Naturally, Inspector Megure also learned that a high school student was performing an autopsy on a corpse.

This fact shocked Inspector Megure. He hurriedly pulled aside the flight attendant blocking the restroom door and angrily shouted at Shinichi Kudo, who was inside performing an autopsy, "Who are you? Do you know what you're doing?"

Shinichi Kudo showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, he calmly turned to look at Juichi Megure, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "My name is Shinichi Kudo, and I am a detective."

Megure, who was originally burning with anger, couldn't help but pause for a moment after hearing Shinichi Kudo's self-introduction and seeing Shinichi Kudo's appearance.

Then, as if realizing something, Inspector Megure's anger subsided, and he looked at Shinichi Kudo and asked, "Are you Yusaku's son?"

Upon seeing this, Shinichi Kudo greeted him warmly, "It's been a long time, Uncle Megure."

After confirming Shinichi Kudo's identity, Inspector Megure's anger was instantly replaced by joy. Looking at Shinichi with a friendly smile, he said, "Oh my, you've really grown up. You look more and more like your father when he was young!"

Seeing this, Chen Anxia, ​​who had been hiding in the corner and had a very low profile, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
