The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 338: Sand without Footprints

Naoko Kuroe was found next to a wall of the Ebihara family's residence. Her body was leaning against the wall, she was sitting with her legs spread out, her head hanging down, and the blood from the collision between the back of her head and the wall flowed down her body.

The ground beneath her was not concrete or tiles, but fine sand.

The body was discovered by Xiaolan and her team who were very lucky. It was already in this state when it was found.

Although Kogoro Mori was eager to save people, he still keenly noticed something strange at the scene - there were no footprints on the sand.

Therefore, he did not act rashly, but called Bai Masong and others and asked them to come quickly.

The Ebihara family's house was not big, and in five minutes, Hakuba Matsu had already arrived with Conan and Hattori Heiji.

"How is the situation on site?"

After Hakuba Song arrived, he immediately asked Maori Kogoro.

"have no idea,"

Maori Kogoro shook his head and pointed at the body of Kuroe Naoko.

"That's how she looked when we got here."

"Now......."

Before Maori Kogoro could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hattori Heiji.

"What are you waiting for?!"

He looked a little anxious. Although he had only known Kuroe Naoko for one day, he could not bear to see someone getting hurt for even a moment.

"and many more."

Bai Basong reached out to stop Hattori Heiji,

"Look at the sand."

Bai Masong sighed in his heart, this is the difference between Hattori Heiji and Conan.

Hattori Heiji is the kind of person who will ignore rationality for the sake of his sense of justice, regardless of whether the matter has anything to do with him or not.

But Conan is different. As long as it does not involve the Black Organization, rationality prevails over emotion for him.

"what?!"

It was only after being reminded by Hakuba Song that Hattori Heiji suddenly discovered the abnormality on the sand.

He looked carefully and sure enough, there was not a single footprint on the sand where Naoko Kuroe had fallen. It was as normal as if no one had been there.

"But we can't just stand by and do nothing, Miss Naoko!"

Hattori Heiji said anxiously,

"Brother Song, you know that the sand here is empty before we walk over there!"

Having said that, he continued to move forward.

"and many more!"

Bai Masong stopped him again.

"I didn't say you couldn't go up and watch."

"Let's take some photos first and leave evidence for the Fukui Prefectural Police."

As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and prepared to take a picture.

Although the scientific timeline has begun to become chaotic, Bai Masong can still roughly judge the timeline he is in based on the development of electronic devices.

Nowadays, mobile phones have begun to bid farewell to big brothers and beeping machines, and have reached the level of barely having some cameras and basic functions.

Although the pixels of the one in Bai Masong's hand are blurry, it is still barely visible.

Soon, Hakuba Song finished taking photos, and the two young men, Hattori Heiji and Conan, rushed over impatiently.

At this time, two footprints were left on the empty sand.

"I'll call the Fukui Prefectural Police. Xiaolan, Kazuha, go inform Miss Shimabukuro and the others."

Bai Masong said to Xiaolan and Heye, but he didn't look very well.

The two girls, Xiaolan and Yuanshan Heye, also agreed immediately and trotted away.

Maori Kogoro also took the initiative to propose at this time.

"I'll go take a look too."

"Ah."

Bai Masong nodded with a gloomy face.

Then, he took out his cell phone and dialed the Fukui Prefectural Police number.

Next to the body of Kuroe Naoko, Hattori Heiji trotted over, sniffed her breath, and then shook his head regretfully.

"Hopeless."

"Oh, this is the second time it's happened."

Conan also looked very bad. The serial murder case was a huge challenge to detectives like them.

Especially in this case, the murder happened just one day later.

This is simply mocking them, saying that your abilities are too poor. I will kill people in front of you and you won’t be able to find me!

"But it seems that Brother Song looks very bad."

Hattori Heiji mentioned it casually.

"How can it be good?"

Maori Kogoro came over and took over Hattori Heiji's words and said unhappily,

"It's a serial murder case, and the Fukui Prefectural Police have yet to arrive. As a former police officer, I feel ashamed, not to mention that Bai Basong is an active police captain and will definitely be a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Police Department in the future."

"I'm afraid he wants to chop the murderer into pieces right now."

As he said this, he turned around and glanced at the white horse pine.

Hattori Heiji and Conan couldn't help but turn their heads. Sure enough, Hakuba Matsu's complexion looked worse than before, and the cold air around him seemed to be freezing.

At this time, Bai Masong was holding his mobile phone and hung up the call with the Fukui Prefectural Police. Although his face looked gloomy on the surface, he was actually very calm inside.

He had anticipated all this, so why would he show such joy? He just did it for a few people to see.

Bai Masong keenly noticed the gazes from several people, so he put away the phone and walked over.

In two or three steps, he walked to the body of Naoko Kuroe.

"Did you find anything?"

Bai Masong asked calmly.

"Ms. Naoko is no longer breathing."

Hattori Heiji said.

Bai Masong nodded, showing a look of understanding.

Then, he said to the three people, old, middle-aged and young,

"The Fukui Prefectural Police have already set out to sea in the evening and are now expected to land on the American island soon."

"Um,"

Maori Kogoro nodded slightly and said in a deep voice,

"In that case, let's protect the scene and wait for the Fukui Prefectural Police to arrive before we conduct an investigation."

This proposal was agreed by others. After all, Naoko Kuroe was dead now, so it would not take a moment to conduct the investigation.

............................

More than twenty minutes later, the Fukui Prefectural Police finally arrived.

The team was led by a police officer with a Mediterranean hairstyle. After contacting Bai Masong, he went directly to the Ebihara family.

"Fukui Prefectural Police, you are finally here."

The outspoken Hattori Heiji spoke with dissatisfaction in his tone.

"What words!"

The leading police officer said righteously,

"It is our duty to handle the case. Let the Fukui Prefectural Police take charge here."

After saying this, he came close to Bai Masong, bowed and smiled apologetically,

"Officer Baiba, the wind and waves are too strong. Our county police headquarters can't do anything. I hope you can understand."

"By the way, I'm digging a well, I hope Officer Baima will take care of me."
