Just as Shinichi Kudo was still reeling from the shock, he heard Inspector Megure's delighted voice say, "Oh, isn't this Shinichi Kudo? What are you doing here?"
After hearing Inspector Megure's words, Shinichi Kudo barely snapped out of his daze, temporarily putting aside his thoughts about Gin, and greeted Inspector Megure with a smile.
Upon hearing Inspector Megure's words, the people around him seemed to realize something, and their previously panicked and even terrified expressions began to turn into excitement and exhilaration.
A chorus of voices and soft exclamations rose and fell.
"Ah, he's the famous high school detective, Shinichi Kudo!"
"I heard he helped the police solve many difficult cases!"
"With him here, this case will definitely be solved."
"That's right, that's right. I hope he can bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."
......
Hearing the exclamations, approvals, and praises of the crowd around him, Shinichi Kudo felt a sense of exhilaration, and a proud expression couldn't be contained on his face.
Ran Mouri, who had been crying from the horrific sight of the deceased, gradually calmed down upon seeing this.
Ran Mouri had great faith in Shinichi Kudo's reasoning abilities.
Furthermore, Ran Mouri also learned that Chen Anxia was present, in addition to Shinichi Kudo.
With Chen Anxia, known as the modern-day Sherlock Holmes, involved, this case is sure to be solved.
Thinking about it, Ran Mouri couldn't help but look around, trying to find Chen Anxia's figure.
However, Ran Mouri only found Sonoko Suzuki and Watson, but not Anxia Chen.
This fact startled Ran Mouri for a moment, and then she walked directly towards Sonoko Suzuki's location.
Shinichi Kudo naturally noticed Ran Mouri's actions.
Ran Mouri's actions startled Shinichi Kudo, making him realize that Chen Anxia was also present, which gave him a sense of urgency.
'This time, I'm determined to solve the case faster than him!'
With this belief in mind, Shinichi Kudo ignored Gin's presence and devoted himself to solving the case.
As for Gin, who was ignored by Shinichi Kudo, he continued to stare at Shinichi with his cold, undisguised murderous eyes, muttering, "High school detective...Shinichi Kudo..."
Of course, Gin didn't keep staring at Shinichi Kudo for a while. After watching him for a while, he shifted his gaze and began searching through the crowd.
Gin wanted to see who dared to see him as prey.
In his heart, Gin murmured to himself, 'Whether it's them or not, we need to be prepared, just in case...'
'However, if it really is them, then this is also an opportunity, a chance to expose those cowards who only know how to hide...'
'Hmph, who is the prey after all...'
At that moment, Gin's killing intent reached its peak. The uncontrollable, chilling killing intent emanating from his body even made Vodka tremble uncontrollably.
Vodka, who was very familiar with Gin, naturally knew what Gin's situation was at this moment.
However, Vodka was unaware of Gin's thoughts; he had only heard Gin's mutterings and assumed that Gin's murderous intent was directed at Shinichi Kudo.
This made Vodka silently mourn for the high school detective, thinking to himself, 'You're dead, kid.'
'If you have someone to blame, blame yourself. Who told you to mess with my older brother of all people...'
Unbeknownst to everyone present, a seemingly ordinary young man with wire-rimmed glasses, giving off a frail and unassuming appearance, was struggling to control his trembling right hand, which was partially hidden behind his back.
If Chen Anxia were present, with his terrifying insight, he would surely have noticed that the ordinary young man's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, were uncontrollably revealing a hint of excitement and exhilaration.
In his heart, the ordinary young man trembled as he muttered, 'This prey is truly amazing. Compared to it, the prey I hunted before was like shit...'
As he spoke, the ordinary young man's gaze subtly swept across the room, and he muttered to himself, 'However, there are prey even more perfect than him...'
'Silver Bullet, are you here too? Who are you really...?'
During his patrol, the ordinary young man noticed Shinichi Kudo, Inspector Megure, and Watson...
In the end, the ordinary young man gained nothing, and a look of regret flashed in his eyes.
This ordinary young man was a member of the Silver Bullet organization, codenamed Instant Bomb.
Instant Bomb was not surprised by this result, because it was well aware of its own abilities and knew that it was not good at reasoning.
Therefore, even if Silver Bullet was actually present, unless he revealed himself, there was no way he could find him.
But it doesn't matter anyway, because the best food is always saved for last. After we wipe out this black-clad organization, hehehe...
Meanwhile, Ran Mouri approached Sonoko Suzuki and whispered, "Sonoko, where's Anxia? I haven't seen him."
Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki responded softly, "Anxia said he already knows who the murderer is and just left to find evidence."
Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri's face showed shock, and she couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief, "Eh, we already know who the murderer is!?"
Upon hearing Ran Mouri's words, everyone present couldn't help but show expressions of shock and turned their gazes toward her.
However, after seeing Ran Mouri's face clearly, their faces showed confusion and bewilderment.
Because none of them knew Ran Mouri, and they couldn't imagine how Ran Mouri was able to find the murderer in such a short time.
Of them, only Shinichi Kudo knew what was going on.
It was precisely because he knew this that Shinichi Kudo wanted to appear unbelievable.
It's important to know that Shinichi Kudo was sitting right in front of the deceased, making him one of the people closest to the case.
Even so, Shinichi Kudo is currently only gathering information and has no clue about the truth of the case.
So how did Chen Anxia, who didn't get close to the deceased at all and only observed from the outside, know who the murderer was?
Shinichi Kudo was puzzled, and the shock on his face became more and more obvious.
Upon hearing Ran Mouri's words, Inspector Megure, who was investigating the scene, immediately perked up and quickly went to her side, asking, "Ran, is what you're saying true? Do you already know who the murderer is?"
Upon seeing this, Ran Mouri realized she had let something slip and looked flustered, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Just then, a voice rang out from the side, "Hey, I already know who the murderer is, Inspector Megure."
Upon hearing the voice, Inspector Megure's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "That voice is...!"
As he spoke, Inspector Megure instinctively looked in the direction of the voice, and continued, "Could it be... he's here too!?"
Aside from those who knew the inside story, everyone else present looked curious and puzzled after seeing Inspector Megure's reaction, wondering who the 'he' Megure was referring to was.
But they soon found out.

Following Inspector Megure's gaze, everyone saw a person wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, completely concealing their identity, slowly walking towards them.
This person was naturally Chen Anxia.
However, because Chen Anxia was well concealed, no one else present recognized him except for Shinichi Kudo, Watson, and Ran Mouri.
Just as everyone was puzzled by Chen Anxia's identity, Chen Anxia slowly removed the disguise from her face.
The first thing Chen Anxia took off was the baseball cap he was wearing.
Even when Chen Anxia took off his baseball cap, no one recognized him.
Then, Chen Anxia slowly removed the sunglasses from her face, revealing her deep eyes.
Because of Chen Anxia's own fame, there were quite a few of her fans among the crowd gathered there.
Upon seeing Chen Anxia's eyes, these fans seemed to have discovered something, their faces showing surprise and uncertainty, and they began to mutter to themselves.
"Could it be that?"
"No way, no way, no way!"
"Could it be him? Am I dreaming?"
"These eyes, these eyes, it must be him..."
"No wonder that police officer looked like that; it was him..."
......
Seeing this, the people around became even more curious about Chen Anxia's identity.
Chen Anxia didn't stop there; she continued to remove her mask, completely revealing her true face.
The moment Chen Anxia revealed her true face, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Apart from Shinichi Kudo, Watson, Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, Gin, and Instant Bomb, everyone else wore expressions of astonishment and disbelief.
Even Vodka showed a look of shock on his face, and whispered to Gin, "Brother, I've seen him on TV a few times. He's a super popular star right now, named Chen Anxia."
"I've heard that his reasoning and insight are terrifying, which is why the media calls him the modern-day Sherlock Holmes."
"Not only that, but he also seems to have an assistant named Watson by his side, whose reasoning ability seems to be quite good as well."
Upon hearing this, Gin couldn't help but scrutinize Chen Anxia with his cold and ruthless eyes.
After confirming that his beastly intuition had not detected any threat from Chen Anxia, Gin couldn't help but whisper, "Vodka, you're really boring, paying attention to such useless things."
As he spoke, Gin sneered and continued, "So what if he really is Sherlock Holmes?"
"No matter how strong a person's ability is, there are limits. If he dares to be our enemy, I will make him taste the pain of being assassinated endlessly."
“We’re not Moriarty; we won’t choose to go toe-to-toe with Holmes. We’ll be like vipers, lurking in the shadows, slowly leading him step by step into despair and death…”
Hearing Gin's cold and emotionless words, even Vodka couldn't help but shudder, a sense of indescribable fear welling up inside him.
Vodka knew that what Gin said was true. In the years he had followed Gin, Vodka had personally witnessed Gin kill countless people using similar methods.
Just as Gin and Vodka were talking, the appearance of Chen Anxia caused a sudden uproar.
The commotion consisted of excited screams, frenzied shouts, and excessive commotion.
"My God, it's Chen Anxia! It's actually Chen Anxia!"
"Am I dreaming? I can't believe I'm actually this close to Chen Anxia?"
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Chen Anxia, look here, look here! I'm your biggest fan!"
"Chen Anxia, may I take a picture with you?"
