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... In each case, 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 victims are usually prominent figures, usually politicians (rather than normal civilians), who are murdered in a surprise attack.
