User:Black Demon/Crimes in Detective Conan

The Black Organization, the symbol of crime in Detective Conan.

Crime is one of the central elements in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan by Gosho Aoyama. Crime appears in many forms throughout the whole series, with the most common one being the act of Murder. Almost every case in Detective Conan involves one or multiple types of crimes, however, the extent and dangerous degree of which vary from case to case. The protagonists, along with the Law Enforcement and many other detectives, are responsible for preventing and fighting against these crimes.

A person who commits crime is usually called a "Criminal" (犯人 ,han'nin).

Crimes

Murder

Murder, and sometimes referred to (although not entirely correctly) as Killing, is one of the many forms of Homicide, where a person ends the living life of another person on purpose, for some certain reasons. The criminal in this case is usually called "The murderer", "The killer" or "The culprit". This is the most common crime in Detective Conan.

There are many ways to commit a murder, but the most common methods that have been used throughout the whole series are: Use sharp objects (such as knife) to cut or stab the victim's body; physically attack the victim with heavy objects (usually on the head); shoot the victim using firearms; strangle or poison the victim to death...

The murders in Detective Conan are prompted by various motives, such as vengeance, jealousy or hatred... The relationship between the culprit and the victim each time also ranges from enemies to close friends and even siblings. In most of the cases, the murderers usually come up with brilliant tricks and strategies that would help them creating a solid alibi, or making the crime scene looks like an accident or a suicide; in order to prevent the truth from being revealed to other people.

General murder cases are assigned to Division 1 of the Criminal Investigation Department.

Assassination

Assassination is a special form of Murder. In the case of assassinations, the targets are usually prominent figures, mainly politicians (rather than normal civilians), who are murdered in a surprise attack.

Assassinations and assassination attempts rarely occur in Detective Conan, and most of the times are carried out by the Black Organization. Cases with assassination or assassination attempt:

• Reunion with the Black Organization
• Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out
