Conan’s World Stand-in

"Super, superhuman..."

Even Kudo Shinichi, who has seen a lot in Hawaii, was a little confused by Guan Dounan's 987-degree change of the subject, and... this guy doesn't seem to be lying or prevaricate, he seems to be serious ?

"If it is a superpower, the so-called alibi will not be valid. Superpowers can use various means to create fake alibi, enter and exit the crime scene in an incredible way, if there is teleportation, invisible people Or the ability to become an ant or something, even if it is not captured by surveillance cameras, you can come and go freely here.”

"Or to think a little bit further, if his ability is to 'modify surveillance cameras', then all evidence based on that is useless and someone else's testimony needs to be reconsidered. Ah, in case that person's ability is to 'tell a lie' If you think about it to the limit, that person has the ability to stop time, and even if it is only five seconds, he can kill me, but will I provoke such a person..."

"Well, are you serious?" Kudo Shinichi felt that his style of painting would become a bit strange if he continued like this. He himself felt that he should be living in a very normal and scientific world. Superpowers or something is too ridiculous, not to mention the time-out invisible man and the like, and even a punch to smash a telephone pole should not exist.

"Of course, because I have really 'resurrected from the dead', and, do you need me to perform superpowers for you?"

"Hehe, then please show me your abilities from this superpower. I'm just ignorant, and I haven't seen real superpowers. Those so-called superpowers and magic are nothing more than illusions created by various means. That's it."

Kudo Shinichi seems to be very confident.

"Well... it seems a little too conspicuous here, let's change the place." Guan Dounan looked around. Although it was already night, it was the entrance of the police hospital after all. It would be bad if there were cameras or something to take pictures of himself. .

He didn't intend for Kudo Shinichi to see Kuro, and Kudo Shinichi didn't seem to be able to see it either. When he was still in the teaching building of Tedan High School, he had already called out Xiaohe's ability to use it, but Kudo Shinichi didn't seem to see it.

In addition, Xiao Hei doesn't seem to be touched by others, nor can he make moves to touch other things. He can't prove it by digging out other people's things like Jotaro.

As for Xiao Hei's ability to create images in his own mind, Guan Dounan didn't fully grasp it, and he didn't know if he could use it on others.

If you want Kudo Shinichi to believe in stand-ins, or believe in the existence of superpowers, at least let him see and touch. At first glance, there is no way, but Guan Dounan really came up with one.

…

"There should be no surveillance cameras here." Guan Dounan and Kudo Shinichi came to a small park nearby and looked around to make sure that no one was watching and there was no surveillance, and finally they chose the address.

"It always feels like you're taking the opportunity to silence me." Kudo Shinichi joked.

"As far as the physical strength I haven't eaten this day, it is estimated that you killed me first." Guan Dounan also joked, "Okay, but after I really show superpowers, I hope you can keep your reasoning for the time being. Opinions, meanwhile, help me with a reasoning."

"I've always been open to doing reasoning, and of course it also includes reasoning to decipher your 'superpower' trick."

"Okay, take it as you say yes. First look here, it's blank, right? There's nothing."

Guan Dounan shook his head, circled around the place a few times, and at the same time tried a few times with his hands to prove it.

"Then…"

Under Kudo Shinichi's gaze, Guan Tou raised his leg and lowered it gently, his foot hovering in the air as if stepping on an air brick.

Then he lifted the other leg off the ground and stood in the same position.

He was "suspended" in the air like stepping on the air. Although it was only thirty or forty centimeters away, it was true that his feet were off the ground and he stopped in mid-air.

Kudo Shinichi's eyes widened instantly, he crouched down, and studied the small space under Guan Dounan's feet.

"Is this... wire? Glass? Bracket? Or..."

The so-called "levitation" has existed since ancient times, but most of them are "magic" or "juggling" performed using props or techniques. It consists of a walking stick and a bracket base hidden in the ground.

As for other levitation magic, some use fishing lines, some use transparent materials, and some use visual errors. In short, it is the kind that will be revealed when carefully inspected.

But Kudo Shinichi found nothing, no matter how he checked Guan Dounan's feet, sides, and even the top of his head, he found nothing unusual at all. The always smug high school detective made a rare gaffe, and even fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Impossible, no suspension lines, no fulcrum, no blindfolds... It's impossible."

"Okay, before you solve the mystery of my 'superpower', please keep your promise." Guan Dounan smiled slightly, but his body did not move, but fell dozens of centimeters in place, stepping back on the stone-paved path .

This kind of performance is very simple to say, "Xiao Hei" is not only he can see and touch it, then let Xiao Hei squat there and step on Xiao Hei himself, so that in the eyes of others, he is "suspended" ".

Just like the final battle of the third part of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", it seems that Jotaro and both flew up, but the actual setting is that both of them took off with the help of their stand-ins. I don't know if it's carrying it, holding it, or something else.

And this kind of performance doesn't show his true ability, that is, the ability to appear images out of thin air, no matter how others think about it, they are just suspended.

"...Well, I'll keep my reasoning results for now. You can say what reasoning you want me to do."

Guan Dounan said with a smile, "Actually, it's not that difficult, but the background is a little bit special. It's like playing a reasoning game that is set to have a superpower background."

"Now, assuming that there are superpowers in the world, I am the person who was killed in this superpower world, and the conditions of other cases are exactly the same as what is known now. How do you, the great detective, think about finding the murderer? Woolen cloth?"

"Just answer 'how to find the murderer', you don't need to reason the whole thing."

"If it's based on fiction..." Kudo Shinichi frowned, "Is there a limit to the types and limits of superpowers?"

"No, it's still unknown now, so please use your imagination as much as possible. Any ability such as pausing time, accelerating time, deleting time, etc. is also possible." Guan Dounan said, he originally wanted to mention the setting of "substitute", But on second thought, who stipulated that there can only be one kind of superpower in the world? In "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure Original", there are ripples, vampires, alleys that can't be turned back, and the ability to lick sweat to distinguish lies.

"Then this is too big... Since there is no limit to the type and extent of superpowers, the only way to find someone is to start from the 'motivation' aspect. Suppose the protagonist in that story encounters the same thing as you, then we The only thing that can be judged is that this 'murderer' is obviously not a random act, but a premeditated crime."

"Because you were standing in the bathroom preparing to wash your hands at the time, and you didn't offend anyone. So there are only old grudges, or random murder victims used to divert attention. It's basically impossible to be a random impulse. crime."

"No other anomalies appear to have occurred after the incident, so it can be ruled out that random killings were used to divert attention, and the incident was too concealed to satisfy the requirements for diversion."

"Such a reasoning game with surreal elements often fails to collect substantive evidence. Unless there is such a prophet or something that can record the scene of superpowers, the prisoners can only be forced to use their own abilities again. Then grab the bag on the spot. Of course, in a setting like necromancy, spiritualism, that's nothing, but can that still be called reasoning?"

"I don't see that you have a lot of research on this kind of thing... I thought you would sneer and say, 'I don't care to play this kind of detective game'." Guan Dounan was a little surprised.

Motivation... Guan Dounan has no friends in school, but he has enemies. Ryota Sakagami and Masato Sancheng are very compatible, but they have no time to commit the crime. No, assuming they are stand-ins, or have other superpowers, then they are fully capable of committing crimes.

"Why is reasoning so inconvenient?" Kudo Shinichi said proudly, but then his face sank, "But I can't reason about the method you just performed... My reasoning ability is still insufficient. "

No, I think even if your father comes to the ceiling of the reasoning world, it is estimated that he will not be able to reason for a while. This is an inherent disadvantage, and the upper limit is locked...

"If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Well... I'll keep it for the time being until... I unlock your technique..." Kudo Shin nodded, turned his head and left, leaving Guan Dounan behind as a thinker.
