Midnight Murder Case (part 2)

Rafsa was taken to the victim's apartment room, it looks like the situation in the apartment is very messy as if there has been a robbery. The body of the victim was still lying near the door leading to the balcony of the apartment covered in blood, but near the body was seen writing from blood. A little boy who was talking to Conan looked at Rafsa sharply.

“User HLF yes? Apparently there are users who are already quite close to Conan and others. But by being a kid like that what exactly is he after on this server?” rafsa's mind when her handler meets a little boy who was talking to Conan.

“Inspector Megure, this is one of the apartment residents who live next to Yumi,” Sato said.

“Ah, if not mistakenly named.. Raffa yes?” inspector Megure looked at Rafsa.

“True Inspector,” Reply Rafsa.

“As you can see, in this apartment there has been a murder. Twenty-three-year-old Takaoka Mitsushima died with knife wounds to his stomach and chest. According to the testimony of their neighbor, Yumi, there was a sound of glass breaking very hard from this apartment, when seen it turns out the apartment door has been forcibly broken into and there is a rope on the balcony of the apartment that leads down,” explained Inspector Megure.

“Then Conan-kun and his friend are doing what here Inspector?” raffa asked as if he did not care about the murder case that occurred.

“Eh? You know Conan-kun?” ask Megure.

“Ah no, it's just that Yumi-san once said that she is a member of the Teitan SD child detective who often helps the police,” replied Rafsa.

“Oh, they just finished a case with Yumi. But because it was late at night so Yumi took them to her apartment to stay,” sela Sato.

“Oh,” muttered Rafsa while nodding her head.

“By the way what are you doing at twelve tonight until we come here?” ask Megure with a sharp look.

“I was sleeping at that time.even when Yumi-san just yelled I thought it was just a dream so don't rush to wake up. It was only after many people outside me directly out of the apartment,” replied Rafsa.

“Ne.. Kak Rafsa said that this week went abroad right?” chirps Conan.

“Iya, what is Conan-kun?” ask Rafsa.

“Then when did you return to the apartment?” asked Conan again with a sharper look.

“Eto.. today I just came back here,” replied Rafsa, he knows is currently being targeted by a detective investigation so he should not be rash in answering.

“He. sister Yumi said this morning still haven't seen sister,” lick Conan.

“Oh, I came back in the afternoon when Yumi-san was on patrol, because I didn't see her. I also did not come out of the apartment since then and chose to take a break,” replied Rafsa.

“He.. sometime I can play at sister's house. I also really like to read mystery novels,” said Conan cheerfully.

“Ya, of course,” replied Rafsa. He understood that Conan had acted that way, meaning he had already gotten the answer he was looking for about his target. Raffa again tried to remember every word from his mouth that came out whether there was something suspicious or not.

“You don't mind if we check your residence?” ask Megure again.

“Ya, please,” replied Rafsa.

Rafsa and Sato and Inspector Megure and several other policemen leave the scene for Rafsa's residence. It can be understood Rafsa because he is the most suspicious in this case, inevitably he must accept it with resignation. Conan and his friend also followed them from behind.

“Conan-kun did you suspect a man named Rafsa earlier?” asked the little boy next door, he was an HLF user named Mirai Naofumi.

“Yes, I'm sure you suspect it too, don't you?” ask Conan.

“Indeed right, he's very suspicious. But I still do not understand the dying message left by the victim, it seems that it is an important clue this case,” replied Mirai.

“J. A. D. I. T. A. K. U. T,” said Conan spelled out the death message the victim left in using his own blood.

“So far I have understood that the victim was not killed after being stabbed by the knife when the perpetrator was busy breaking into the house to look like a robbery. The lights in this apartment are also in a state of death, so it is not surprising that the perpetrator did not see the victim who has not died writing a message,” continued Conan.

“I also think like that. But the writing left by the victim also seems to be a code to show the identity of the perpetrator, I'm sure he was worried that writing his name directly would be realized instead,” Mirai said.

“Yes, but it feels like something is awkward for me. When recalling the sound of broken glass it felt strange,” Inner Conan while holding his chin.

“When the sound of glass breaking was heard, Mirai and Yumi-san went straight there, but the rope used by the perpetrator did not move at all. Supposedly if indeed the perpetrator was still there and down the rope then the rope should still move especially TKP was on the fifth floor, unless the man named Rafsa was the culprit,” thought Conan.

“If the man named Rafsa had parkour skills maybe when he broke the glass, he immediately jumped onto Yumi's balcony and onto her balcony. The rope was just an alibi to distract us,” Inner Conan again. Rafsa hurriedly approached the door of her apartment first.

“Lock Off,” said Rafsa slowly so as not to sound the others, who tried to turn off the security of the HLF system because he was worried that Mirai was really a user, he said, it would be very suspicious if they heard the HLF system alarm in his room go off as they entered.

“Please enter, sorry if there is a lot of dust. You see, I have not had time to clean up,” said Rafsa. Megure, Sato, Yumi, some cops plus Conan and Mirai go straight inside.

“Ne.. can I go to the balcony?” ask Conan.

“Please,” replied Rafsa with a smile. He understood what the detective was thinking.

“Ayo Mirai, I'm sure the view is more beautiful than the balcony of Rafsa,” take Conan who went directly to the balcony with Mirai.

“I guessed it, the little boy was indeed a user of HLF,” Inner Rafsa while looking at Mirai.

“It looks like you just got here,” said Megure who wiped the dust in the closet.

“Yes, I have not had time to clean up,” replied Rafsa.

“It looks like you are a very thorough and neat type of person,” praise Sato when looking at the contents of the neatly arranged Rafsa closet.

“Ah, I just happen to not really like to see messy stuff,” replied Rafsa, while some policemen were seen pacing to and fro in Rafsa's apartment. Maybe they are trying to find traces or evidence that could incriminate him as a perpetrator.

Meanwhile, Conan and Mirai who were on the balcony were only silent contemplating, especially Conan who looked very confused. On the dusty balcony of Rafsa there is not a single trace of man there as if it had been dusty for a long time. He was confused because when it was eleven o'clock last night through the apartment Rafsa also seen the handle of the entrance dusty as if it had not been held for a long time.

“What's Conan?” ask Mirai.

“I don't understand, exactly where did he come into this house? On the balcony there is not the slightest trace, but the last time we came also it feels there is no trace on the handle of the entrance of this apartment,” Conan replied while holding his chin.

“Ah, maybe you just saw it wrong because you're sleepy. Besides, it is impossible for anyone to suddenly appear inside the house,” Mirai said with a laugh, since the beginning he can guess that Rafsa is an HLF user, especially after seeing him hurriedly approach the entrance first.

“Maybe,” Conan said while laughing, at this time he has not been able to solve the case. Maybe he should wait for Takagi who is going to pick up the person who is also suspected by Yumi.

Seriate…
