After this incident, Suzuki Kai was successfully promoted again, after all, it has been a few months since the last promotion with Suzuki Kai, and Suzuki Kai has also cracked several big cases in the past few months. Like what serial homicide case, trafficker. Drug cases, large kidnapping and murder cases, and so on.

The day after Kei Suzuki was promoted to the head of the inspection department, he received a call from Conan again. Conan said on the phone that while he was looking for a kitten, he found a corpse soaked in a bathtub in a room.

Hearing that there had been a murder, Kei Suzuki rushed to the place where Conan was, along with Officer Twilight. Conan and Ayumi had been waiting for Kei Suzuki's arrival at the phone booth where they had been calling, and after seeing Kei Suzuki, Conan said, "Officer Suzuki, we've been waiting here since we found the body." But we didn't see anyone coming out of that room. ”

But when Kei Suzuki knocked on the house that Conan was talking about, a man in a yukata opened the door and complained loudly, "What are you doing?" It's noisy! ”

After Officer Twilight led everyone into the room, he showed his police officer ID and said, "I'm Officer Twilight from the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Division 1, and this is my colleague Officer Suzuki." Who are you? These kids say there's a body found in your house, can we come in and take a look? ”

"Corpses?" The man in the yukata seemed very surprised, and said, "How can there be any corpses, I have been in the house all along, and I have not found any corpses." Oh, I'm Tomosaki Tanaka. ”

Conan then said, "That's right! ”

Ayumi also said, "We clearly saw that the man was in the bathroom. ”

Mitsuhiko continued: "Covered in blood, he fell to the ground. ”

The yukata man's eyebrows twitched inadvertently, and he said impatiently, "How is it possible?" I've been using the bathroom just now, and you can see the room at the end of the hallway. ”

Officer Twilight pushed away Tomoshi Tanaka, who was still wiping the water stains on his body, and said, "So, you don't mind letting us go to the bathroom to have a look, right?" ”

Kei Suzuki and Conan followed behind, but after opening the bathroom, Officer Suzuki could only see that the bathroom was boiling clean, and there was nothing but a piece of steam. Not to mention the corpses, there was not even a trace of blood. Officer Twilight was stunned when he saw this.

Conan also shouted in surprise: "Corpse...... The corpse is gone! ”

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Motota also shouted, "Gone? How can it be? ”

Keiya Suzuki glanced at the bathroom, and then whispered to Officer Twilight, "Officer Twilight, it smells of blood!" Even though I've been rinsed with water and bath gel, I'm sure it smells bloody. ”

Originally, Officer Twilight didn't find anything, and thought that this time it was just Conan that they were mistaken, but after hearing Suzuki Kei's words, it was a Rin. Kei Suzuki said that his senses were keen, and that he had been tested many times during these months of work, and Officer Twilight believed Kei Suzuki's words.

At this time, the man in the yukata said, "Look, where is there a corpse here?" Not at all, is it? I think it's just a prank by these imps! ”

Officer Twilight turned back to Tanaka and said, "It took fifteen minutes from the time we received the call to get here, and I think it only takes 10 minutes for you to hide the body, right?" ”

Tomoshi Tanaka seemed to be stimulated by Officer Twilight's suspicion and said, "What stupid thing are you talking about?" Since you say so, then I'll let you find it happy! I'm going to sleep on the second floor. ”

At this time, Kei Suzuki stood in front of Tomoshi Tanaka and said, "Then you shouldn't mind if I go to the second floor to have a look, right?" ”

Tanaka Tomoshi's face changed suddenly, as if he wanted to object. But when Kei Suzuki turned his gaze, Tomosaki Tanaka didn't know why he trembled in his heart, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say. Kei Suzuki shrugged his nose, as if sniffing something, and then walked to the second floor. When Officer Twilight saw Kei Suzuki like this, he didn't know what Kei Suzuki had discovered, so he followed Kei Suzuki to the second floor.

Tomoshi Tanaka watched Kei Suzuki and them go up to the second floor, his face suddenly became hideous, and then he wanted to rush outside. But at this time, Kei Suzuki suddenly turned around and said, "Ah, that's right! I wonder if Mr. Tanaka, can you come up with us? After all, this is your house, and if anything, you can make it clear. ”

Tanaka didn't know that Kei Suzuki was spying on him, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. He could only watch Kei Suzuki walk straight to the room with the sound of the TV as if he knew where the body was beforehand. When Kei Suzuki pushed the room open, Officer Twilight and the others noticed that there was another man in the room, a man dressed in the same costume as Tomoshi Tanaka behind them, a man in a yukata.

"The corpse is here!" After seeing the man in the room, Kei Suzuki whispered to Officer Twilight, "Presumably this is the body that Conan and the others found!" ”

Officer Twilight looked at the man sitting in a chair in the room and whispered to Suzuki, "Brother Suzuki, isn't that right?" Isn't he still watching TV? ”

Kei Suzuki shook his head and said, "He's already a dead man!" ”

Conan didn't hesitate, and just as Kei Suzuki said this for the second time, Conan ran out from behind Kei Suzuki and reached out to feel the pulse of the man in the chair. Officer Twilight also looks at Conan when he notices Conan's movements. As a result, I waited for Conan's words.

After hearing this, Officer Twilight also looked back at Tomoshi Tanaka behind him, and after Tomoshi Tanaka found that the bodies had been found, he finally couldn't hold on anymore and knelt down directly.

Kei Suzuki took out the handcuffs, handled the man up, and said, "Mr. Tanaka, do you have anything else to say now?" If not, then come with us to the Metropolitan Police Department! ”

Handled by Kei Suzuki, Tomoshi Tanaka was taken away without resistance. After taking Tanaka into the police car, Kei Suzuki asked Conan and them to get into his car, and as the first witnesses to the discovery of the body, they also needed to go to the Metropolitan Police Department. After Kei Suzuki helped Conan record his confession, Officer Twilight also asked the prisoner Tanaka Tomoshi about his confession.

It turned out that when Tomoshi Tanaka was trading stocks, he had some dark box. Make. However, this was discovered by his brother, so his brother threatened him with this, and he has been living and eating for nothing with him. Lately, however, his brother has gone even further to get more money from him.

couldn't bear to be persecuted by his brother so much, so Tomosaki Tanaka beat his brother to death with a golf club, and he wanted to dispose of the body unconsciously. His brother had been in his house for the last few years, and no one in the neighborhood knew about it, so he could quietly dispose of the body. But they didn't expect that as soon as he killed someone, the body was found by Conan and them. Then he called the police, and in just fifteen minutes, the police came, and he didn't have time to dispose of the body.
