Early in the morning, I saw people gathered there, as if they were watching something lively.

The policeman who asked on the side was somewhat familiar.

When I remembered that I was at a convenience store before, it seemed to be him. Then, this person is the person who is responsible for the search of theft cases.

It's the way home, so it doesn't seem strange that she'll pass through here.

"Is anyone hurt?"

"No, there was no one at home at the time."

"Who called the police?"

"The owner, listening to the voice is a man. However, I seemed to be drunk at the time, and I didn't remember the situation at the time of the report, as if I was talking nonsense. ”

"What is the stolen thing?"

"Cash, and a few jewels."

After understanding the situation, Qinghai Chuantang snapped his fingers and released the hypnosis on him. At the same time, he used illusion to let himself into the house.

Generally, the purpose of a burglar is money. But sometimes, for some reason, the theft escalates into a homicide.

In the house, things are placed very messily, and as soon as you see it, you know that there is a burglar in the house.

There are also obvious footprints on the ground, giving the impression that this is an unscrupulous thief.

According to the general idea, if you take fingerprints from the room and then check the person with a criminal record, you can quickly arrest the other party.

But is that really the case?

According to the footprints, Qinghai Chuantang came to a bedroom on the second floor.

The room was a little cluttered, but the sheets were new, as if they had just been replaced. The interior of the house is relatively modern, but the style of the sheets looks a little old-fashioned and out of place.

On the bedside table, there is a bottle of sleeping pills.

The windows, although closed, were not locked.

Following the footprints, the suspect came to the second bedroom.

There are textbooks on the table, and the book cover should be a high school student.

The room is also cluttered, with game consoles and figurines on the bed, and it looks like he didn't go home last night.

It's just that it's a high school student's room, but it's hung with some adult men's costumes.

Then, Qinghai Chuantang came to the third room.

It's very neat, maybe it's too simple to look through.

There is a picture frame on the table, and the photos inside indicate that an elderly couple lives there. There are also a few bracelets on the side, and although they are wooden and look a little ordinary, they should be worth about 500,000 yen.

Qinghai Chuantang went downstairs and continued to observe the various rooms-

There are no footprints in the bathroom and kitchen.

Although the living room was a mess, the air conditioner, TV and other appliances were intact. Of course, it is not excluded that because it was too big, I felt that it was difficult to move out, so I did not steal it.

But the styles are quite new, and they should be worth the price.

If it was for money, why did you just steal some cash and a few pieces of jewelry, but you didn't take away the real ones?

Each thief has his own purpose and specialty.

If it's jewelry, it's mostly the bedroom; If it's cash, it's mostly bags and locked drawers; If it's electronics, there's no need to rummage around.

So all of this seems a bit deliberate.

And such obvious footprints...... So, it's likely that stealing something is just to hide it.

In the bedroom on the second floor, someone died.

No body was found, indicating that it had been disposed of.

The replacement quilt is the best evidence.

Qinghai Chuantang left the house, came outside, and dissolved his illusion.

His mother didn't come home, and he should be very anxious as a son, and he is likely to report the crime. When the time comes, as long as the police search, they can know that this is the scene of the crime.

So, is this simply satisfying your curiosity?

Qinghai Chuantang shook his head and prepared to return home.

But when he passed through a certain intersection, he found Takagi Shibu. There was a boy in a high school uniform in front of him, trying his best to say something, but the other party showed a little helplessness.

"I don't report the disappearance, can I report the murder? If it's a homicide, the search section should be in charge, right? ”

Takagi sneered: "This, reporting the case is not a random report. I can understand your feelings, please calm down first......"

"But if I don't find it soon, my mother will really die!"

Yoshiki Hirano was so excited that he almost roared out to say this.

"The police also need a process to handle the case. I can understand your feelings, but ......"

Qinghai Chuantang sighed, took out a pen and notebook and wrote a few lines, and handed them to Yoshiki Hirano.

It says the address where the previous theft took place, and at the end, it asks: Are you a child of this family?

Yoshiki Hirano nodded, a little puzzled: "Can't you speak?" ”

Qinghai Chuantang thought about it and wrote on the paper: Not for the time being. However, it can already be confirmed that it was a homicide disguised as theft.

"This young lady, may I ask who you are?"

After all, the performance of the person in front of him is really a bit strange.

Qinghai Kabetang Yuu continued to write: A passing Kamen Rider, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that since it is a homicide, isn't it the responsibility of the search lesson? If it is treated as an ordinary theft, isn't it tantamount to letting the victim be wronged and the perpetrator go unpunished?

After writing, Qinghai Chuantang felt a little sour in his hands.

Ran thought of something, and inexplicably wanted to slap himself. Now that we all have smartphones, why not just type with your phone?

"However, we didn't get the alarm. And there are already police officers in charge there, and if it's a homicide, they'll definitely be in touch with us. Maybe your mom just got into a falling out with your dad and ran away from home, maybe she'll be back tomorrow. So don't you be in a hurry, okay? ”

Yoshiki Hirano pursed her lips.

"I'm leaving, and I have to go to cram school."

With that, he turned to leave.

Qinghai Chuantang wanted to stop the other party, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Do your father and mother often quarrel?"

"Ke, Conan?"

Takagi looked at him with some surprise, wondering when the other party appeared here and how much news he had heard.

Yoshiki Hirano paused, but didn't look back.

"Didn't you find the police because your mother is more important than cram school?"

Yoshiki Hirano finally turned around, looked at Conan, and then looked at Takagi.

"I couldn't trust the police because he didn't believe what I said."

"This ......"

Takagi smiled and scratched his head.

It's not that he doesn't believe it, but the police have their own set of procedures for handling cases, and they are not so free. There are always some rules that bind them.

Qinghai Chuantang began to recall the details: the furniture was old, but the appliances were all new. There are a lot of scratches and smashed things in the house. Just by looking at the scratches, you will find that it has been some time, and it is not ruled out that you have been subjected to domestic violence.

In the first room, there is no trace of marital life, only women's supplies and clothes. In the son's room, however, there are some adult male clothes, and it is very likely that the parents sleep in separate rooms.

"In Mom's room...... I saw sleeping pills, there were a lot of them. I checked on the Internet, as long as you eat a dozen or twenty pieces, you can die. ”

No, although the sleeping pills have been reduced somewhat, she is not suicidal.

Because if it is a suicide, then the body should be found in the room. Even if she had found a secluded place to die, she should have taken the sleeping pills from the bedside table instead of placing them there.

"However, this can only be considered suicide......

It is common for people to commit suicide because they can't bear domestic violence.

"Anyway, we just have to go and see it live. Right, Officer Takagi? ”

Conan smiled and blinked, looking very innocent.

"That's what you say...... Well, I'll get in touch and see if I can ......"

As he spoke, Takagi pulled out his cell phone and dialed a phone number.

Yoshiki Hirano looked down at Conan with inquiry in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I always feel that you are not an ordinary elementary school student. ”

Conan smiled and scratched his head, "I've just been around Uncle Maori a lot, so I've just learned a little!" ”

"Maori? Maori Kogoro? No wonder you're so good. ”

As soon as he heard the name of "Sleeping Kogoro", Yoshiki Hirano became awe-struck, "No wonder you can say this, it turns out that you were influenced by Mr. Mori." ”

Conan sneered and said in his heart: Actually, those are all cases that I solved, okay?

Subsequently, Takagi and others went to the scene of the crime, while Qinghai Chuantang chose to go home. After all, I don't know each other, so there's no need to get involved, and with Conan here, I believe that the murderer will be found soon.

The deceased, Saki Hirano, female, 36 years old, was beaten by her husband for a long time. Because of his cowardly character, he has been swallowing his anger.

Before he died, he took sleeping pills, but this was not the cause of death, because the dosage was only enough to sleep.

The superficially harmonious family is like a dream that knows it is illusory, but is unwilling to wake up. Because Yoshiki Hirano knew that once this appearance was shattered, he would lose his original family.

So, is the murderer his father Daisuke Hirano, or his grandparents?

It always feels like there's something to ignore in general......

Qinghai Chuantang touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, she slapped her face and remembered: windowsill!

So now, just clone the scene with illusion and restore it in your mind.

Sill......

The windowsill is closed, but there is no locked......

It's bloodstains!

It's a little blurry and subtle, but if you zoom in, you can still see it. If you say so, it is likely that the fingerprints of the murderer will be left there.

And the blood stains on the windowsill are evidence that the murderer carried the body. And the tool for carrying the corpse should be a small car. At that time, it was probably the trunk, or the back seat, that was hidden.

If the murderer didn't have time to deal with it, as long as the car was found, the incriminating evidence could be found.

Now, the people who are most likely to be murderers are: husband Daisuke Hirano, and in-laws.

Or ...... He knew that his son had killed someone, so he helped deal with the incriminating evidence.

So, what about motivation?

Just now, it was just a speculation of Qinghai Chuantang. Only by knowing the motive can we better find out who the murderer is, so that the other party cannot refute it.
