Seven years ago, Kae Imura's father disappeared, and the police reported it at the time, and the police said that he had run away from home. Today, seven years later, Kae Imura approached the police again, but was told that the case was already seven years ago, so it was not accepted.

Her mother had been staying at home, the house was dilapidated, and she was reluctant to move out, with illusions. Maybe one day, my husband will come back suddenly.

Now, Kae Imura is about to get married, and when she is left with her mother alone, she is a little relieved. I thought about whether I could find my father, whether I was alive or dead, at least I wouldn't let my mother wait hopelessly like this.

"The case of the disappearance seven years ago...... Should I praise you for your persistence? Or should you call you stupid? Qinghai Chuantang asked while sorting out the books, "How old was he when he disappeared?" ”

"43 years old."

"That's running away from home. What about usage records? ”

"Telephone numbers, bank cards, entry and exit records, etc., are not displayed."

"That is, it does not exist in the world. Either suicide or homicide. ”

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, "Aren't you a profiler?" It stands to reason that you should be as clear as before, such as height, age, occupation, etc. If you extrapolate like that, I won't have to look for you. ”

Qinghai Chuantang stopped what he was doing, looked at him, and felt a little funny: "Are you a prophet or a fortune teller?" That's all you know, and which puzzle you've ever seen gives you a few pieces to fiddle with? ”

With that, she got up and sat down on a chair beside her, took out a notebook and pen, and scribbled on them.

"In one case, the husband and wife had an argument during which the husband strangled his wife by the neck with both hands, causing her to die of mechanical asphyxiation. When the husband found that his wife was not breathing, he took out a sheet from the closet, wrapped his wife's body, and put it in the freezer, where he hid it for three months. ”

"If it is assumed to be Miss Kae's mother, she also killed her husband because of an argument and then hid him. So the absence of a trace in the past seven years can be explained? Of course, the reason why I would have this inference is because a person would rather stay in a dilapidated house than move out, and there must be something strange in it. ”

Qinghai Chuantang stopped writing, and on the notebook, there was an empty room, and there was a woman standing in it, as if waiting for something.

She looked at Conan, "You probably want to say, maybe it's because you are in love with the old and don't want to believe that your husband is not in the world, so you want to wait forever or something, right?" ”

Although such a scenario is indeed common in romance novels.

Conan sneered, "No." ”

In fact, I was saying in my heart: This guy can't read minds, right?

"Anyway, if you're interested, wouldn't it be nice to solve the case yourself? If you stay with me...... It can only be a wasteful event. ”

As he spoke, Qinghai Chuantang took down a book from the bookshelf, titled "To what extent do the screws of the rocket need to be tightened".

"And this kind of thing, just leave it to the police, and you little child don't get involved. The identity of a detective is sometimes not as reassuring as that of a policeman. So my suggestion is that you can go to Officer Takagi. ”

The disappearance case has always been the responsibility of the Special Crime Investigation Department, and Takagi belongs to the Investigation Division 1 and the Forced Crime Investigation Department 3, which is completely ultra vires.

Conan was silent for a moment, "I feel that you are instigating a crime. ”

Qinghai Chuantang snorted angrily.

"Do you have an anesthesiologist's license? Do you have a radio license? trespassing on people's homes and impersonating police officers...... Although you are now seven years old, you are exempt from criminal liability. But don't forget, even if a person gets smaller, the DNA and his fingerprints will not change, as long as you compare, you can know who you really are. A seventeen-year-old boy has reached an age where he can be sentenced. ”

Knowing that his words were a little too heavy, it was easy to hurt the other party's young heart, so Qinghai Chuantang sighed, put a hand on his shoulder, and said seriously: "Many things are not decided. If you follow certain rules, you may never be able to catch up with the progress bar. Sometimes, certain means are necessary, as long as they do not harm other people and do not cause any serious consequences. ”

"You know, even Sherlock Holmes can't do absolute justice. As long as what you do in your heart is what you insist on, you don't have to care about the opinions of others, because everyone has a different measure of good and evil in their hearts. ”

He has been the role of the pride of the sky since he was a child, and when he grew up, the road was smooth, and no one had ever lectured him like this.

With the encouragement and training of his parents, he has become a high school detective at the age of high school, often making headlines in various media, and is also praised by the public as the "savior of the Japanese police".

Qinghai Chuantang's words undoubtedly frustrated his spirit.

Although justice is in my heart, but I have done some illegal things, is it really justice?

Perhaps, it is just some kind of justice that he insists on in his heart.

Conan lowered his head, as if savoring the words.

Seeing that the other party didn't answer for a long time, Qinghai Chuantang thought that he had invisibly hurt his young heart, and out of a little guilt, he said: "Otherwise, I will be with you in this case." Having an adult with you is better than having a child you have now. ”

Conan raised his head and smiled brightly, "Then let's go quickly!" ”

Qinghai Chuantang realized that he had been fooled.

"Do you know where to go?"

This sentence made Conan stop. After a pause, he turned to look at her and said with some weakness, "I forgot to ask about this." And if a child asks for someone's address, he won't necessarily tell him. ”

"You're typical of a detective." Qinghai Chuantang put the book back on the shelf, "In this case, you should go to the Metropolitan Police Department." Ask the police officer in charge of the disappearance case at the time, and if you can see the file, it would be the best. Why go far when there is better integration? ”

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, he knew it was more convenient. It's just that after all, it's not a policeman, it's just an ordinary person, and to put it mildly, he has the identity of a "detective", but in essence, he is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't have that authority.

"Is there anything you can do?"

Qinghai Chuantang pretended to be mysterious and said: "Maybe there is." ”

Hypnosis is a kind of psychological suggestion, as long as the other person mistakenly thinks that it is one's own person.

As for illusion?

Since returning that day, the hands on her watch have not moved. It's not because it's broken, but it's the punishment for exploiting loopholes, just like the loopholes of some games, as long as they are discovered, it's normal to seal them for 3 or 5 years.

"12 7th Street, Former Wing Road."

As he spoke, Qinghai Chuantang handed him a note, the handwriting on it was vigorous and powerful, and it looked like it was from someone else's hand.

"I didn't expect Officer Kawanishi to be quite enthusiastic. Seeing that someone was so helpful, he was a model of a good citizen, so he didn't hesitate to tell me the address. ”

Conan stared at her a little speechlessly: The ones in front of you were actually added by yourself, right?

"Then how can we gain each other's trust?"

Take the initiative to come to the door to inquire and show that you are a detective, and you will only be guarded by the other party, so in this case, the police have far more advantages than detectives, of course, most of the time, after all, they also have the corresponding rights.

Detectives, on the other hand, lack this advantage.

Therefore, even when he was still Shinichi Kudo, when facing some cases, he had to be present with the police to proceed smoothly.

Qinghai Chuantang looked at him, was silent for a moment, and said, "Will you lie?" ”

"What?"

Conan didn't react.

One of the most common means that must be exercised in order to achieve a certain end is lying.

Kawatang claimed to be a member of the Special Investigation Search Team, while Conan was a special assistant. Although he looks young, he has an IQ of 20 more than Leonardo da Vinci.

For Conan, Kae Imura has an impression. I thought it was just an ordinary child's curiosity, but I didn't expect it...... Self-understanding, coupled with hypnotic suggestion, she didn't have the slightest doubt.

In the courtyard, there is a cherry blossom tree, which is in full bloom.

The wooden tables and chairs placed on the lawn tell the passage of time.

After entering the house and sitting down, Rinka Imura brought juice to the two of them.

"I think he'll be back."

Her expression was very serious.

"Mom, it's been seven years."

If one wanted to come back, they should have come back long ago.

She, like her mother, waited too long for him.

The whole person seemed to disappear suddenly, even too suddenly, and he didn't even say hello when he left.

I don't know how long I have to wait.

"Your dad will definitely come back." She seemed to have some kind of obsession, "After all, he is a family person." ”

"Was there anything special about it when you disappeared?"

Rinka Imura thought for a moment and shook her head.

"Did you have a grudge with someone, or an accident or something?"

Rinka Imura still shook her head, "My husband doesn't drink, and he can't even drive. And he has a good temper and has never quarreled with anyone. ”

It sounds like the character of a good gentleman.

After that, Kae Imura took them to the warehouse, where many things were piled up, quite periodic.

"These are all Daddy's things, and they're all here. Mom thinks that he will definitely come back, and some of them are bought together, and they are reluctant to throw them away. There were still two pillows at the head of her bed, as if her father was still at home. ”

"Do you remember what happened when your father disappeared?"

"I didn't go to school locally, so I didn't know much. It was my mother who called me and told me that my father had been out for a long time and had not come home. ”

There's nothing special about the things in the house.

It seems that we will continue to look for a breakthrough.
