Chapter 3

Although Tang Ze's previous fantasies were quite good, the prerequisite was that his guesses had to be accurate.

His previous self, due to diligent studies, basically paid little attention to the news around him. During his university years, he mostly prepared for the police exams.

Apart from necessary studies and preparing for the civil service exams, the rest of his time was spent on club activities, physical training, and learning kendo.

After all, these days were quite chaotic. Although his previous self became a police officer, he didn't want to die young. Thanks to his efforts, Tang Ze's combat skills were still quite promising.

He was a very easy-going person with good interpersonal relationships, but he was mostly busy with his own affairs.

Therefore, Tang Ze couldn't judge the information of this world from his memories.

But after calming down, Tang Ze quickly set his primary task: to figure out whether this world was indeed the world of Conan.

What Tang Ze could do... was to wait and see!

Yes, that's how straightforward it was. After all, Tang Ze didn't have a better way to actively investigate, so he might as well wait for something to happen.

Of course, buying a newspaper to read would also work, but the recent newspapers didn't have any relevant information, which Tang Ze had already checked by borrowing his colleague's newspaper.

Anyway, with his "rolling drum washing machine" constitution, Tang Ze wouldn't have to wait long.

Sighing, Tang Ze felt a bit unreal.

The anime world from his previous life had suddenly transported him here in this life.

Fortunately, he was studying at the police university, and it just so happened that he was on an internship when he was transported here.

Otherwise, if he had been transported during the internship, he would have had to be very careful with his behavior, at least for a long time, to act like his previous self. This was also good news.

Oh, let me explain why there is a police university after graduating from Tokyo University.

First, the police university and police school in Japan do not provide academic degrees, so they are completely different from regular schools.

Most of these schools are for training after employment, more like a base for pre-employment training and learning for the police.

After a few days in the office.

Thanks to the lack of cases, Tang Ze gradually became familiar with the environment of the Metropolitan Police Department.

In addition to his primary task of confirming the world's situation, Tang Ze also made some plans for the future.

According to his previous self's plan, after passing the university exams, he could follow a routine and eventually become a mid-to-high-level official in the Metropolitan Police Department, making him a winner in life.

However, compared to his previous self, Tang Ze had a much broader vision.

Moreover, he didn't want to just earn a fixed police salary. Over the past few days, while familiarizing himself with the environment, Tang Ze also learned about many companies.

But to his disappointment, most of the companies from his previous life didn't appear, and the names and development trajectories were completely different.

This made it impossible for him to buy stocks to make money, and he gave up the idea of making a fortune through business.

First, Tang Ze was not familiar with the Japanese market, and it was an economically difficult time. He knew the general direction but not the specific companies. Venturing into business rashly would likely lead to failure.

So, it was better to focus on advancing his career. Japan's resource control was severe, and even in his previous life, he had heard about it.

For example, the children of rice ball makers are also rice ball makers, and the children of musicians are also musicians.

Even with his previous life's perspective, he probably couldn't outdo the conglomerates, and his hard-earned success would be used to benefit others.

On the contrary, if he confirmed the world's situation, Tang Ze could leverage his police identity to achieve great things.

After all, whether he wanted to advance in his career or make money, it was nothing compared to his life.

Tang Ze could use his knowledge of the Conan plot to save some tycoons, befriend them, and gain benefits.

Even if he couldn't go into business due to his identity, his family was originally a hot spring business, and he could do business under his wife's name in the future.

However, the premise for all this was that this world was indeed the world of Conan, as Tang Ze had imagined.

Today, Sato Mihoko was on leave, and Shiratori and Takagi had already met a few days ago. They had already identified the suspect in the "robbery and murder" case and were preparing to make an arrest over the next two days.

Tang Ze didn't feel right joining them, as they had been on stakeout for several days, and he hadn't contributed much. Joining them now would seem like he was trying to take credit.

So, he stayed at the Metropolitan Police Department with Inspector Megure, helping with paperwork and other miscellaneous tasks while on standby.

Unconsciously, it was already evening. Tang Ze invited Inspector Megure to a nearby izakaya for dinner to thank him for his care over the past few days.

Regardless of other things, Inspector Megure's good nature and character were truly commendable.

After dinner, Inspector Megure smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for the invitation, Tang Ze."

"No, I should thank Inspector Megure for your guidance over the past few days," Tang Ze replied gratefully.

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

"Sure, be careful on your way."

Just as they were about to part ways, the walkie-talkies they carried suddenly rang.

"Inspector Megure! A murder has been discovered in a high-end apartment near Anrakucho in Mihama Street! Please respond!"

"What! I understand, I'm on my way!"

Inspector Megure's expression turned serious. After responding, he immediately turned to Tang Ze, "Tang Ze, you heard that, right? We need to go to the scene!"

"Sure, I'll get ready," Tang Ze nodded with a bit of nervousness.

Following Inspector Megure, they quickly returned to the Metropolitan Police Department and drove to the crime scene.

When Tang Ze and the others arrived at the high-end apartment, a crowd had already gathered, discussing the incident.

Upon reaching the scene with Inspector Megure, Tang Ze saw a body lying in a pool of blood, with a knife clearly embedded in its back, a fatal wound.

The sight of the body made Tang Ze a bit uncomfortable, but it was still within his tolerance.

Perhaps the people in this world had a higher tolerance for such scenes. Tang Ze quickly recovered.

"The situation is as follows. According to Miss Okino, when she returned home, the door was already open, and this man was already dead," Tang Ze reported to Inspector Megure, holding his notebook.

"I understand the situation," Inspector Megure nodded and looked at another man in the room, "So the detective who was with her at the time is..."

"Hee!" The man with a mustache grinned and saluted, "It's me, Kogoro Mouri! Inspector Megure!"

Hearing the introduction, Tang Ze glanced at the boy with glasses beside him and felt a bit dazed.

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