So, after watching a Detective Conan episode and musing about the fact that you can do anything if you just have enough string (comon, six pieces?? These tricks are getting crazier) I started thinking about what Neonivek was saying a while ago about detectives causing crimes and why they're always on the scene. Actually... there are some cases where they do actually canonically cause the crime, and others where their prescence at the crime scene isn't coincidental. In essence, the reasons that seem to get used include
The detective actually caused the crime
- The fact that they're there causes tension among a group of criminals, and drives one of them to commit murder
- The detective somehow ignites some old tension, perhaps through a naive question, that leads to a murder
- The detective somehow forces the hand of the culprit (ie they were planning to do the crime later but for some reason the detective's prescence makes them put it forwards)
The detective was intentionally called to the crime
- The culprit is trying to use the detective as a witness to give them a supposedly rock solid alibi
- The culprit is trying to use the detective to verify the discovery of a corpse (and possibly a closed room)
- The culprit has mixed feelings about the crime and is using the detective as a sort of test (since they kindof want to be stopped or something)
So I guess that detectives only use their magical murder causing power in some cases. Like the ones where they just randomly stop by a house where a bunch of murders happen.
