I can't be a detective even in another world

Chapter 5 Li Xiao

"This is the relevant report record from two weeks ago." Zheng Sirui explained while handing over the two documents. "The reporter is a couple. According to the reporter, their son Li Xiao, who is in the second grade of elementary school, was molested by the deceased Sun Chenglong on his way home from school. I hope the police will open a case for investigation and bring Sun Chenglong to justice. Law."

"But Sun Chenglong was not sentenced in the end? Why?" Nico asked.

"During the investigation, the police found that Sun Chenglong suffered from a mental illness. If a mentally ill patient was in a state of mental illness at the time of the crime, at this time, the patient is not responsible for the harmful consequences caused by his actions when he cannot recognize or control his actions. If he is criminally responsible, he can only order his family members or guardians to strengthen supervision and medical treatment." Zheng Sirui said with some hesitation.

"Isn't judicial psychiatric appraisal enabled?" Conan asked.

"No. At the very beginning, when our police went to the west side of the city to understand the situation, the nearby residents told us that Sun Chenglong would not stay there when he was awake, but wandered around the west side of the city. The son of the informant Sun Chenglong of the school he was in often wandered around there, but according to the school’s teachers and parents of the students, he had never seen Sun Chenglong do anything harmful to students.” Zheng Sirui also said strangely, “Originally we were Those who want to conduct a mental appraisal of Sun Chenglong, after all, involve child molestation. If it is really determined that he is harmful to a certain extent, we will try our best to contact the mental hospital for treatment to avoid more serious situations in the future. But the couple did not know why The report was withdrawn."

"Withdraw the report?" Conan asked.

"Yes, the report was withdrawn suddenly for no reason." Zheng Sirui replied.

"Could it be that something happened at the informant's house?" Nico said suddenly.

"This possibility is not ruled out, but we have police officers who went to the door to investigate later, and no one opened the door." Zheng Sirui explained.

"Where's the address of the informant?" Conan asked.

"Informant: Li Zhong, Wang Xueqin, address is Unit 12, Building 301, Ping'an Campus, Jinyin Avenue, West District."

"Let's wait and see." Conan said, looking at Nico who was silent at the side.

"Okay, I'll trouble you." Zheng Sirui thanked, "Then I'll go back first. If you need me, you can contact me at any time."

"Okay, thanks." Conan replied.

Zheng Sirui packed up his things and turned to leave the tea room. At this moment, only Nico and Conan were left sitting there quietly.

"Conan," Nico said suddenly, "do you think it's really fair that mental patients should not bear criminal responsibility?"

"It's still not sure if Sun Chenglong really committed a crime." Conan didn't answer Nico's question directly, but said instead.

"Really..." Nico said.

"No one can escape the punishment of the law. All we can do is to find the truth." Conan said calmly.

Just when Nico was about to continue to say something, the bracelet made a "beep" prompt again, and a novice guidance light screen popped up.

"It seems that we triggered a side mission." Nico said after reading it.

"Find the truth about Li Xiao's case." Conan said, pushing his glasses that hadn't slipped down.

"I have a bad feeling." Nico said suddenly as if he had thought of something.

"Let's go to the Ping'an Community to have a look first." Conan suggested.

"En." Without further delay, the two drove directly to Li Xiao's address.

Parking the car on the side of the road, the two were led by the property owner to Li Xiao's home.Walking all the way, it can be seen that this is a neighborhood with a good environment.There are guards at the entrance and exit. I have asked the property that they are on a shift system to ensure that people are there during the day and night to ensure the safety of the community.The houses in the community look relatively new from the outside. They have only been built for a few years, and they are still relatively new. The greenery is also well designed, and each resident can also use the public underground garage.It seems that Li Xiao's family is in good condition.

"It's here." The property staff took the two to Building 12, opened the door of Unit [-] and said, "Do you need me to take the two up?"

"No need, we can go by ourselves. Please." Nico smiled.

"Okay." The property staff nodded to the two and left without staying.

The two went upstairs and came to door 301.

"It looks like a happy family." Nico said thoughtfully, looking at the childish cutout pattern pasted on the dark red door and the doorbell button which was lowered for the convenience of children.

"Let me ask." Conan looked at Nico, reached out and rang the doorbell.

There was no response from inside the gate, and it took a long time before a gap was opened from inside.A haggard woman looked at the two vigilantly and asked, "What do you do?"

"Hello, Auntie, I'm here to see Li Xiao." Conan greeted people obediently, explaining his purpose of coming.

"Are you..." the woman asked when she saw Conan approaching and relaxed a little.

"I'm Li Xiao's classmate, my name is Conan, this is my brother." Conan introduced, "Auntie, Li Xiao hasn't gone to school for a long time, I always wanted to play with him, so I asked my brother to send me coming."

"But there doesn't seem to be a child named Conan in Li Xiao's class." The woman thought for a while and said.

"I'm a student in the next class, and we often play together in physical education class." Conan explained.

"That's it, then come in and sit down first." The woman slowly loosened her grip on the door, opened the door, and invited.

"Thank you, auntie." Conan pulled Nico into the room and thanked him.

"You're welcome, you can sit down wherever you want. I'm Li Xiao's mother, just call me Aunt Wang." Wang Xueqin smiled kindly.But the haggard complexion, the bruises under the eyes, and the casual attire all showed that something bad happened to this person recently, which made her inattentive to tidy up her demeanor, and she didn't even have a good rest.

"What are you drinking? Let me pour you a glass of milk." Wang Xueqin turned and entered the kitchen and asked.

"Ah, no need for Auntie, we..." Conan was refusing, but he saw that he had already come out of the kitchen with two glasses of milk.

"You guys, don't you like milk?" Wang Xueqin asked when she heard Conan's refusal.

"No, just milk." Conan took the milk and said, "Auntie, why are you the only one at home? Did Uncle and Li Xiao go out?"

"Ah..." Wang Xueqin's face turned paler, her eyes flushed, and she said stiffly, "Li Xiao's father is resting in the room. Li Xiao..."

"Li Xiao had an accident some time ago." After saying this, the tears in her eyes flowed out uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, Auntie." Conan touched his pocket and found that he didn't bring a handkerchief, so he said apologetically.

"Sorry, I made you laugh." Wang Xueqin wiped away tears and said, "In fact, he has been away for a long time, but thinking about it, I still feel a little uncomfortable."

"Long time?" they both asked at the same time.

"Yes, thirteen days ago." Wang Xueqin murmured, looking at the photos in the cabinet on the right.

Nico followed her gaze and saw a dark brown cabinet quietly placed in a corner of the living room.Through the glass cabinet door, dozens of photos of different sizes are all framed in exquisite frames and stored there.The main character in each photo is a little boy with exquisite appearance and bright smile.Nico knew that he was Li Xiao.
