This is a murder case, and everyone present is a suspect

"Dead body! Dead body!!"

Woo-woo-woo-woo~!

With the sound of the law enforcement officers' sirens, the themed store was quickly cordoned off with yellow caution tape.

Law enforcement officers flooded the scene like a tide, beginning their initial investigation.

"Stay calm, everyone, please step back! Do not approach the scene!"

One officer entered, loudly directing the crowd.

Meanwhile, another officer began questioning the witnesses.

"What did you see?"

The officer asked a frightened young woman.

"I... I just wanted to take some photo booth pictures, and then... then I saw him collapse on the ground..."

The woman's voice trembled, clearly in a state of panic. Her eyes were filled with fear as she glanced toward the photo booth.

Covering her face, she sobbed, "How could this happen? Why did I have to run into something like this on my rare weekend off? Wuwuwu..."

The officer: "......"

On the other side of the scene, several officers were handling the body.

The victim lay on the floor of the store, surrounded by chaos.

The officers carefully covered the body with a white sheet, trying to minimize the psychological impact on the onlookers.

"Have you found the murder weapon?"

One officer asked, his eyes scanning the area for anything suspicious.

"Not yet. We need to thoroughly check the store's surveillance footage first, and we're waiting for the coroner's report."

As the investigation progressed, the scene gradually quieted down.

The witnesses were guided to a safe area for further questioning and comfort.

Qin Luo and Su Muwan stayed at the back of the crowd, observing quietly.

"Hey, Qin Luo..."

Su Muwan turned her head and whispered to Qin Luo, "Did we stumble into some kind of prank show or something?"

"At the end, the crew will jump out and say—'Congratulations, you've been pranked!'"

Su Muwan became more and more impressed with her own intelligence. After all, how could such a coincidental incident happen?

I just arrived here, and now there's a murder?

Do you think we're filming Detective Conan or something?

Qin Luo blinked and glanced at the body on the floor, now covered with a white sheet.

Before it was covered, he had already observed it.

Dilated pupils, cardiac arrest, and a fatigued expression.

It was obvious.

"Miss,"

Qin Luo interrupted Su Muwan's self-satisfied musings, "This person is really dead."

"?"

Su Muwan was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed. She clutched her head and whispered in disbelief, "No way! I just wanted to go on a trip! Why is this so unlucky?"

At that moment.

An officer approached Qin Luo and Su Muwan.

Su Muwan tensed up and immediately hid behind Qin Luo.

Qin Luo was puzzled, "Miss, why are you so nervous?"

"Uh, no reason,"

Su Muwan chuckled awkwardly, "I guess it's just a habit. I always feel like they'll think I'm the killer."

After all, she was used to being blamed for everything.

Qin Luo shook his head with a smile, "Miss, don't worry. The surveillance cameras are rolling."

"We didn't do anything."

As he spoke.

The officer reached them, "Did you two see anything just now?"

His tone was serious, and there was a sense of urgency in his eyes.

He noticed that Su Muwan, hiding behind Qin Luo, exuded an aura that made him uneasy.

So intimidating... It's like she's no different from the yakuza in Cherry Blossom City.

Could she be some kind of yakuza princess?

Qin Luo nodded slightly, already organizing his thoughts.

"We just passed by, heard someone scream, and then saw the person collapse on the floor. The crowd was chaotic, and my girlfriend and I just wanted to see what was happening."

Su Muwan nodded vigorously, "We were just here to buy some merchandise."

"We didn't kill anyone."

The officer sighed in relief and explained, "We're just conducting routine inquiries. Did you see anyone suspicious or hear anything unusual?"

Qin Luo shook his head, "No."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Just then, another officer came over and whispered to his colleague, seemingly reporting on the situation at the scene.

Qin Luo, standing nearby, faintly heard that the coroner had determined the cause of death to be cardiac arrest.

As time passed.

Impatient voices began to emerge in the themed store.

"Hey hey hey! Are you done yet? I have a court case this afternoon!"

A man who looked like a lawyer pointed impatiently at the officer in front of him.

The officer, sweating, tried to calm him down.

"Yeah, I have a piano lesson this afternoon! Can you hurry up?"

"If it's cardiac arrest, then we're off the hook, right?"

A girl in a JK uniform crossed her arms, looking annoyed and eager to leave.

"I need to get to the hospital soon. Can you speed this up? I'm not feeling well, and if I'm late, can you take responsibility?"

A man wearing a mask shouted angrily.

"Are we done here? We have a flight to catch."

Two men in black coats spoke gloomily.

Seeing this, Su Muwan also chimed in, "Yeah, my boyfriend and I are just tourists here! Don't waste our time!"

Qin Luo looked at Su Muwan, who seemed to be enjoying herself, and asked, "Miss, what are you doing?"

"Hehe, Qin Luo, doesn't this feel just like the atmosphere in Detective Conan?"

Su Muwan's eyes sparkled, "First, someone dies!"

"Then all the suspects are trapped together and questioned. When nothing comes up, they all start complaining."

"I'm just soaking in the local vibe, you know?"

Qin Luo twitched his mouth and whispered, "But Miss, isn't this usually the part where the protagonist steps forward and points out the culprit?"

"Aren't you afraid you'll be accused?"

Su Muwan rolled her eyes, "Qin Luo, I know whether I killed someone or not. I have nothing to hide!"

Qin Luo nodded, then shouted, "Yeah, is this how Cherry Blossom City treats tourists? Who can relate?"

Su Muwan looked at Qin Luo in surprise, "Qin Luo, what are you doing?"

Qin Luo coughed lightly, "Well, everyone else is shouting. It'd be weird if I didn't join in."

Su Muwan: "......"

The highest-ranking officer on the scene, after analyzing the surveillance footage and the coroner's report, concluded that the death was due to cardiac arrest—an accident.

He cleared his throat, preparing to dismiss the crowd, "Since that's the case, everyone can..."

Before he could finish.

Click—!

"Wait a minute!!"

A loud voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Everyone turned to look.

At the entrance of the themed store stood a high school student in uniform.

It was none other than...

"Kudo Ran?"

"You're here too?"

The officer in charge clearly recognized Kudo Ran and waved cheerfully, "Oh, Kudo, no need. It's all over."

"Over?"

"No, no, no."

Kudo Ran slowly walked into the crowd, one hand in his pocket, his eyes quickly scanning everyone present.

He said coldly, "This is a murder case!"

"And everyone here is a suspect!!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Boom boom boom!!

The crowd was stunned.

Su Muwan grabbed Qin Luo's arm and gulped. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling. What was going on?
