Chapter 95 The Unscientific Nature of the Detective World
"Huh? Excuse me, was I too close?"
Hearing Wang Changsheng say that he seemed a little uncomfortable, Xiaoying blushed and quickly loosened her grip, but still held onto his arm tightly.
While waiting for the police to arrive in the cabin, Wang Changsheng's consciousness was also immersed in the World Tree space.
He was going to investigate why the Little World Tree was interested in the souls of the dead.
Moreover, it's the soul of a dead person from the world of Detective Conan.
When Wang Changsheng's consciousness entered the World Tree space, the first thing he saw was Little Ultraman and Garlic Turtle. These two little things were sticking their butts out, watching a magic book that was floating around.
On that magic book, a mysterious little tree was swaying gently.
So actually, what Ultraman Tiga and Bulbasaur were observing was not the magical book of all things, but the World Tree sapling.
"scare!"
"What?"
When Wang Changsheng approached, both Little Tiga and Bulbasaur made way for him.
As Wang Changsheng approached the small tree, he finally saw it: a tiny point of light seemed to have gathered on the tree.
The spots are different from those caused by consuming magical fruits and spiritual springs last time.
This little light spot grows on the tree branch.
It looks like it has become a leaf of the miniature world tree.
It was strange, but Wang Changsheng had a feeling that the soul of that dead person had probably been collected by the Little World Tree and condensed into one of its leaves.
This surprised him.
Logically speaking, how could an existence of the Lesser World Tree's level possibly care about the soul of a dead person, or even be so eager to devour it?
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng's thoughts involuntarily shifted to the unscientific world of Detective Conan.
This is a partially unlocked world, waiting for Wang Changsheng to develop it.
However, regardless of the world, the power of the origin is perhaps enough to attract the attention of any being.
What is the most unscientific aspect of the world of Detective Conan?
That means people are dying every day.
And Conan manages to bump into me every single day.
And as long as you don't get touched by Conan, you seem to be very safe, and you don't have to worry about dying at all.
Therefore, Wang Changsheng boldly speculated that these people who died because of encountering Shinichi Kudo might have been tainted by some of the world's rules and power.
Wherever Conan is, there will be a death; this is an unspoken rule.
Therefore, what the Lesser World Tree wants to devour may not be the soul itself, but rather the world's essence that has tainted the soul.
This guess is very reasonable; at present, this is the only possibility that Wang Changsheng can think of.
However, he didn't intend to delve into the specifics of the reason.
After waiting for a while, the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division also arrived.
"Huh? It's Mori-kun. What are you doing here?"
The person who entered was Inspector Megure, whom Wang Changsheng recognized at a glance.
After all, not everyone can have this chubby, round, and short figure.
Even if it existed, it couldn't possibly be presented so smoothly and perfectly.
Add to that the small mustache, and that unusually familiar hat.
Based on all the signs, Wang Changsheng could tell that this was definitely Inspector Megure.
Xiaolan's next words confirmed his idea.
"Uncle Megure, I came here with Shinichi to play, but I never expected to get involved in such a terrible incident."
"Sigh..." Inspector Megure nodded speechlessly upon hearing Ran's words.
Is it Shinichi Kudo again?
"I heard from my men that a female student actually took six children on a roller coaster. It startled me. I never expected it to be you." Inspector Megure's lips twitched.
"Haha..." Xiaolan scratched her head awkwardly, "Because when Shinichi and I were at the amusement park earlier, we found that these kids' money had been stolen, so we helped them get it back, and then we played together."
"Is that so? I understand." Inspector Megure nodded slightly.
"But may I ask, why did you arrive so quickly this time?" Ran looked at Inspector Megure with some curiosity.
Having spent a lot of time with Shinichi Kudo, and knowing that various unexpected situations always arise when they go on dates with him, she was quite familiar with the police response speed in Beika Town.
Soon, but not that soon.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just happened to be leading a team here and there." Inspector Megure shook his head, not giving Ran a detailed explanation.
Seeing this, Ran didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and continued to ask Inspector Megure, "Uncle Megure, what's the situation now? What kind of investigation do we need to cooperate with? These are all children, they've always been with me and Shinichi, there's absolutely no way they could be involved in any serious incidents."
"Don't worry, just tell me normally what happened when you were on the roller coaster," Inspector Megure shook his head.
Ran is Kogoro Mouri's daughter, and they know each other.
Furthermore, these six primary school students are indeed just children and have absolutely no connection to this case, so it is sufficient to simply take their statements.
"By the way, Mori-san, where did Shinichi Kudo go?" Inspector Megure asked Ran while taking her statement.
"He said the two men in black who rode the roller coaster with us were acting very suspiciously, so we chased after them. I don't know where they are now. You should hurry up and look for them. I'm worried that Shinichi might be in danger." Ran's face showed some anxiety and worry. "Don't you also need to find the people who rode the roller coaster? So please try your best to find Shinichi."
Ran asked, and Inspector Megure nodded knowingly: "Don't worry, I'll go find him, and we also need to ask for his opinion on this case."
After taking a brief statement from Wang Changsheng and the other children, Inspector Megure left.
By this time, the sampling at the site was almost complete, and the basic items had been collected.
The scene outside wasn't as eerie or frightening anymore. At Inspector Megure's suggestion, Ran led Wang Changsheng and Tomoyo out.
Meanwhile, not far from the roller coaster, a grand spectacle seemed to be unfolding.
The group of four who had originally given up their seats to Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were now reduced to just three girls surrounded by a group of police officers.
I'm too tired. I've been staying up late writing lately, and I feel like the quality isn't good. There are definitely a lot of typos. I'll wait until tomorrow morning to update the last chapter as an extra update. Tomorrow isn't too busy, but I'm going to see my dad in the afternoon. Because of some complicated family relationships, it's been over a year since I've seen him.
