Chapter 3: Confirming the World - Revised

Although Senichi's guesses are pretty good, he still needs to confirm his guess in advance.

Because of hard work in his studies, predecessor didn't pay much attention to the news around him. During his university years, he was mostly focused on preparing to join the police.

In addition to the necessary study and preparation for the Civil Service Class I Examination, he spent his time in the club training his body and learning kendo.

After all, these years are quite chaotic. Although his predecessor decided to become a policeman, he didn't want to die early. Thanks to the efforts of his predecessor, Senichi's physical abilities were quite optimistic.

Although he was an easygoing person with good interpersonal relationships, he was mostly busy with his own affairs.

So, Senichi couldn't judge the information of this world from his memories.

However, after calming down, Senichi quickly set himself a primary task, which was to find a way to confirm whether this world was indeed the world of Conan.

And what Senichi could do... was to observe quietly!

Yes, it's just so straightforward. After all, Senichi didn't have a good way to actively investigate. It was better to wait for an opportunity to present itself.

Of course, it's okay to buy a newspaper to read, but none of the newspapers have published any news related to this in the past few days. Senichi has already borrowed a colleague's newspaper to read it.

Anyway, with Conan's physique of a "Grim reaper",Senichi wouldn't have to wait too long.

Sighing, Senichi also felt a little unreal.

To think that he had suddenly crossed over to the world of an anime from his previous life.

Fortunately, he was studying at the police university before. It just so happened that he crossed over during the internship period.

Otherwise, if he had crossed over in the middle of the internship, he would have to be cautious about his actions. At least he would have to imitate the habits and behaviors of his predecessor for a long time. This was also good news.

Oh, by the way, let me explain why there is such a problem as the police university after graduating from Tokyo University.

First of all, the Japanese Police University and Police Academy are not regular schools that offer academic degrees. They are completely different from ordinary schools.

Most of the schools here are meant for learning after joining the police force. Rather than calling them schools, it's more like training grounds for police officers to receive pre-employment training and education.

Senichi spent a few days in the office.

Thanks to the fact that no case happened, Senichi gradually became familiar with the environment of the Metropolitan Police Department.

In addition, apart from the primary task of confirming the world situation, Senichi also made some future plans for himself.

In the predecessor's plan, after entering university, he could follow a step-by-step approach and at least rise to a mid-to-high level position in the police department. He would be considered a winner in life.

But compared to his predecessor, Senichi's vision is much more far-sighted.

He didn't want to just rely on the meager salary of a police officer. In these past few days, besides familiarizing himself with the environment, Senichi had also been busy and had gained knowledge about various companies.

However, he was disappointed to find that the companies from his previous life hardly existed in this world. The ones that did exist had similar but different names, and their development trajectories were completely different.

Now it's impossible to buy some stocks to make money, and it also made Senichib andoned the idea of getting rich through business ventures.

First of all, Senichi is not familiar with the market of Japan, and it is still in a time of economic downturn. There is no company he is familiar with. He only had a general direction, but it would be reckless to start a business without proper knowledge. It might result in failure.

So it was better to focus on climbing the ranks honestly, and Japan's resources are strictly controlled, even in the previous life, he had only heard of it a little.

For example, children of those who make onigiri also make onigiri, and children of those who are musicians are also musicians.

If he ventured into business, even with his knowledge from his previous life, he probably wouldn't be able to outperform those business magnates. His hard-earned success would end up benefiting others.

On the contrary, if the situation in the world is confirmed, Senichi can use his identity as a policeman to accomplish a lot.

After all, whether he wants to climb the ranks or make a fortune, what does it matter in the face of life and death?

Senichi can use his understanding of Conan's plot to save some bigwigs like chaebols and befriend them to bring benefits to him.

Even if I can't do business because of my status, my family is originally a hot spring family, so I can do business using my wife's name in the future.

But all of this depends on whether this world is really the world Senichi thought it was, the world of Conan.

Miwako Sato is on vacation today, and he had also met Shiratori and Takagi a few days ago. The suspects in the previous "robbery- murder" case have been identified in the past two days, and the two are preparing to arrest them.

Senichi didn't have the nerve to participate in this. After all, the two of them had been staking out for several days, and he hadn't done anything to contribute. It would seem suspicious if he showed up right at the moment of the arrest and tried to claim credit.

So he decided to stay at the Metropolitan Police Department with Megure, help him with paperwork and other miscellaneous tasks while waiting for developments.

Unbeknownst to them, evening had arrived. Senichi invited Megure to a nearby izakaya to thank him for taking care of him these past few days.

Among other things, there is really nothing to say about the character of Megure, a good old man.

After the meal, Officer Megure smiled and thanked, "Thank you for treating me, Senichi-kun."

"No, I'm the one who wants to thank Officer Megure for your guidance these past few days." Senichi said.

"It's getting late, I should head back now"

"Take care on your way."

Just when the two said goodbye and were about to leave, The walkie-talkie carried by the two of them suddenly rang.

"Officer Megure! A murder case was discovered in a high-end apartment near Yasuracho on Yonohana Street!! Please respond!"

"Nani! I got it, I'm on my way!"

Police Officer Megure had a serious expression on his face. After replying, he immediately turned his head to look at Senichi and said, "Senichi-kun, you heard it, right? It's time to go to the scene!"

"Yes, let's go." Senichi nodded nervously.

They hurried back to the police department and took a car to the location of the crime scene.

By the time Senichi and Megure arrived near the upscale apartment where the murder occurred, a crowd had already gathered, discussing the incident.

When Senichi arrived at the scene with Officer Megure, the first thing that caught his eye was the body lying in a pool of blood, with a knife sticking out of its back, clearly a fatal wound.

The sight of the body made Senichi feel uneasy, but it was still within the acceptable range.

Or perhaps people in this world had a higher tolerance for corpses, and Senichi was only slightly uncomfortable before getting used to it.

"The situation is like this. According to Ms. Okino Yoko, when she returned home and opened the door, this man was already dead." Senichi reported to Officer Megure with a small notebook in his hand.

"Hm.." Officer Megure nodded and looked at the other man in the room speechlessly, "So the detective who was with her at that time was..."

"Hehe!" The man with a mustache saluted with a big grin and said, "It's me, Kogoro Mouri! Officer Megure!"

After hearing his self-introduction, Senichi looked at the boy wearing glasses and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Confirmed, this world is really the world of Detective Conan!
