Chapter 198 Let Me Say I’m Not the God of Death

It took a while to finish breakfast at midnight. Because someone had been asked to prepare rice and ingredients beforehand, it only took a while to prepare breakfast at midnight.

As for lunch, he was asked to prepare curry and watch the fire, simmering it on low heat until noon. Huang Quan said it was no problem, and then took another mouthful of rice, watching the curry in the pot on the other side ready to boil.

Midnight: You don’t have to be so obvious about wanting to eat it, it would make me proud.

After breakfast, Conan stood up and prepared to leave, but was pulled by Lingshi and asked to wash the bowl.

Conan: The case is waiting for me! ——

Midnight: You also need to wash the dishes. This has been said since ancient times. People who cook don’t need to wash the dishes.

System: So this is why you, host, pushed the bowl to Conan to wash?

Zero Hour: Nothing wrong.

Conan went to wash the dishes in a hurry as if his butt was on fire, and then ran back quickly after washing the dishes.

Conan: "We're done washing, let's go quickly!"

Zero Hour: "Yes, yes, let's go, Huang Quan."

Huang Quan raised his hand and waved goodbye. He ate slowly while Conan ate quickly, so he had only eaten half of it.

Midnight? I usually cook for half an hour and eat for five minutes. I usually slow down to keep him company. Today I just returned to my normal pace.

"Go ahead. I still know how to watch the fire. Be careful and keep an eye on Conan so he doesn't run out of sight."

Lingshi: "I know, I know. Don't just focus on reading. Be careful not to burn it. Stir it every once in a while."

Huang Quan nodded. It was the same few words at midnight. Although they were very accurate, he would set the alarm later.

After explaining this, Zero followed Conan to the crime scene. After walking a little further, Zero asked directly:

"How much did you just understand? You have no clue where it is."

Lingshi decided to use his rusty little brain. He didn't want to waste his precious holiday time solving the case, although Conan was worried and immersed in the case.

Midnight: You should give him a word of advice, otherwise it would be too cheap for him to leave the girl and run away on a date. He is a scumbag. Only Xiaolan has a good temper.

Lingshi: "We're on vacation now. If we rush into a case as soon as it happens, how can we still call it vacation? This is too tiring."

Conan: "But it happened right in front of me, I can't just ignore it."

Lingshi: "Then you're dating Xiaolan like this, and she hasn't dumped you yet. She's really good-tempered. I'll go and persuade her to dump you and find a new boyfriend."

Conan: "What? You, don't say weird things to Xiaolan!"

Lingshi: "That's right, you consider the case more important than the person you like. You should just stick to the case and stop teasing the girl."

After saying this, Lingshi put his hands behind his back and walked forward quickly. Conan was stunned for a moment and could only chase after him to refute him, but Lingshi didn't listen to a word he said anyway.

Next time if he dares to abandon the girl, I guarantee that his girlfriend will take her home for dinner immediately, so that he can come back and be anxious when he can't find anyone there.

Zero Time and Conan walked to the crime scene. The body had already been carried away. Zero Time was secretly glad that he didn't see the eye-catching scene. He didn't want to see it.

Reitoki and Inspector Megure were old acquaintances, so it was easy for him to go over and ask about the situation. Reitoki quietly approached Inspector Megure and suddenly spoke.

"Inspector Megure, how is it?"

"Wow, where did you appear from again, Zero Hour? Why are you asking this?"

Inspector Megure was startled and asked unhappily, while Reitoki shrugged.

"Come and see if there's anyone who can help. After all, Conan was the last person to see the deceased. I'll take him to see if he can find any clues."

"You're really something. I heard from Ida before. You're really something. You just finished a case, and you meet again when you move to another place."

Zero Hour: "That's right, I was just trying to change my mood, but here it comes again."

Inspector Megure's expression was tangled for a moment, but he finally said what he thought of.

"The deceased was killed with an axe used to chop wood in the camp. He has many wounds on his body. He came here on his own. Besides you, there are five other people in the same camp."

"Anyone who could lift an axe like that was most likely a man, but some of the marks seem to have been caused by someone struggling to lift it."

Inspector Megure gave a general description to Reiji, and Conan eavesdropped openly on the side, which was much more convenient than being with Kogoro Mouri.

After getting the information he wanted, Lingshi looked down at Conan, who nodded and pulled Lingshi's sleeve. Lingshi immediately understood.

Zero Hour: "Okay, let's go check somewhere else. I'll let you know if there's any new developments, Officer."

Officer Megure: "Don't run around. If Conan can remember anything more important, please tell us the police and we will investigate."

Lingshi: "Okay, I'll do it, don't worry!"

Inspector Megure somehow understood what was going on in his last look and couldn't help but shout in his heart, it has nothing to do with him, he didn't kill the person.

Ling Shi left with a laugh, and the two of them walked towards a deserted direction. Ling Shi did not say anything, waiting for Conan to digest the information he had just heard from Inspector Megure.

Before they knew it, the two of them walked back to the camp. Conan had thought it through and decided to go and see the five suspects next.

Zero Hour: "Do you know where they are?"

Conan: "...You don't know?"

Zero Hour: "Why would I know? I don't know the way."

Conan: ...

Despite being poured a bucket of cold water by Zero Hour, Conan remained unyielding, and eventually met his savior, Officer Chiba.

He was the only one here at the moment. Officer Sato might have gone to find Officer Megure, and they had split up, so Conan immediately went over to try to get close to him.

In the end, Conan successfully tricked Officer Chiba into taking them to see the five suspects, since he was going there anyway.

It's just two more people. Besides, Conan might have seen the murderer, so it doesn't hurt to take him to see it.

At midnight, he looked at the time. Only an hour had passed, but it felt so slow, as if a century had passed. He wanted to go back to his own world.

It is urgent to find a partner for Conan. I will catch one at midnight after this incident, so that Conan won't need him to follow him when he investigates cases in the future.

Just as I was lost in thought, we had already arrived at our destination. As an escort, Ling Shi perfectly demonstrated what an NPC was. He was just getting in the way and not helping me think.

Some of the five suspects were anxious, some were timid and afraid, and they all looked alike at the first glance. However, he did not have a script for this, and he relied purely on his intuition to guess the third, timid girl.

After hearing what Lingshi said, Conan thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something and started running again. Lingshi had no choice but to follow him.
