Chapter 36: Search
“!!?”
When Officer Twilight pushes open the bathroom door, the two of them see a normal bathroom.
I could see that there were still some traces of water on the floor of the bathroom, and several basins were piled on the floor, everything was so normal.
As for the corpse that Conan and the others said, there was no shadow at all, and the bathtub was clean and there was not even a trace of blood.
"It's gone..."
"The corpse is gone!?"
"How so? It's impossible!! ”
Seeing this scene in front of him, Conan's expression changed greatly, and he looked incredulous.
An adult with a mature mind who has seen a corpse with his own eyes, he is sure that he has definitely seen a corpse before, and there are also Yuan Tai and others who have seen the corpse can also corroborate.
But at this moment, there was no body in this bathroom at all, and not even a trace of blood was found.
On the contrary, the bathroom is filled with the smell of shampoo and shower gel, which is in line with what the owner of the room said before.
"Look, I'll just say, how can there be any corpse!?"
A middle-aged man in a bathrobe walked over, looked down at the four imps in front of him, and said with a calm face: "If it's a prank, you guys are a little too much!" ”
"We're not going to play a prank on that!" Conan retorted, "There was indeed a man covered in blood who collapsed in the bathroom before!" ”
"Humph! Maybe it's your uncle who hid the corpse!! Yuan Tai pointed at the middle-aged man and said loudly.
"Yes, that's it!!" Ayumi looked at Officer Twilight and echoed, "He must have noticed us, and then hid the body while we weren't in the house!" ”
"From the time we received the call to get here, it took about 15 minutes or so on the road."
Tang Ze looked at the transfiguration mechanical watch on his wrist and said, "This time is already very sufficient, enough to clean up the crime scene!" ”
"Huh?"
The middle-aged man looked angry when he heard this, and turned around and walked towards the second floor, "Since you are so suspicious, then let you search enough, I will go back to the second floor to sleep!" ”
"Is it okay? Just let us search casually? Officer Twilight said embarrassedly.
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, I don't have anything unsightly in my house, and if you want to ask anything, just ask my brother, he's coming back soon!!"
The middle-aged man in the bathrobe snorted disdainfully, looked at everyone and sneered: "And I don't care about stupid policemen like you, stupid enough to take the little ghost prank seriously!" ”
"Hahaha!!"
With an annoying laugh, the middle-aged man walked up to the second floor.
"Give me a careful search!! The body is definitely still in the house!! ”
As if he was provoked by the other party, Officer Twilight said aggressively, "You must definitely find the body for me!" ”
And just when the police were searching, the younger brother that the middle-aged man said was back.
The other side and his brother seem to be twins, but the two are indeed dressed completely differently, he has no beard on his face, while the other brother has a thick beard on his lips and glasses.
Similarly, the two seem to be completely different in terms of personality, and the younger brother looks much more normal and less irritable at all.
"That's... I'm sorry..."The man looked at Officer Twilight and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, these kids said they found a corpse in the house..."At this point, Officer Twilight gave Conan a strange look, "Huh? Why is it that only you are left, Conan-kun? What about the other three children? ”
"I was here just now..."Conan was also at a loss.
"It seems that I just said that I was looking for clues and went over there." Tang Ze pointed to the storage room next to him.
"Hey, hey... Conan heard what was being said lying down and hurriedly ran over.
When Conan ran to the utility room, he found Mitsuhiko sitting on the table reading a book, and Bimi was playing with a bunny toy.
Seeing Conan running over in a panic, Ayumi greeted happily.
"Why are you making such a mess of the room?" Officer Twilight followed, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but ask anxiously.
After all, it's in someone else's house, and even a search is a bit excessive.
Tang Ze looked at the room and found that there were a lot of miscellaneous items and toys in the room, which looked like a utility room.
"We're helping to find clues." Mitsuhiko looked innocent.
"After all, we are an excellent young detective group!!" As he spoke, the two took out the detective badge that Conan gave them and showed it to Tang Ze and the two adults.
"You say yes, Yuantai!" It seems that because Genta did not participate in the display of the badge, Ayumi also turned her head to look at Motota who was standing on a chair on the side.
But it was the sudden question that made Yuan Tai stunned, as the bear child among the bear children, Yuan Tai was the most reckless and reckless one, and it was such a fork, the vase he wanted to take slipped and fell directly to the ground.
"Smack!!"
The vase was broken, and Yuan Tai looked at the vase on the ground and knew that he was in trouble, and he looked uneasy, "Oops..."
"It's okay... It's not a very valuable item..."
The middle-aged man on the side comforted him kindly, his personality looked completely different from that grumpy old brother, even if Yuantai, a bear child, broke his vase, he was not too angry.
"It's noisy, you guys can be quiet!!"
At this moment, my brother's irritable roar came from upstairs, which made everyone downstairs suddenly startled.
"Is my brother on the second floor?" The middle-aged man raised his head and asked.
"Well, he just said he was going to go to bed, but he seemed to be angry..."Officer Twilight nodded, and then asked, "That... May I ask what kind of business Brother Ling is engaged in? ”
"Ah, he's a freelance writer, you know, it's all about quiet... So my temper is a little worse...", the younger brother said embarrassedly.
While speaking, he also handed the business card to Officer Twilight, Tang Ze took the business card and glanced at it, the man's name was Tanaka Chishi, and he worked in a securities company.
During the conversation, the search was almost over, and only the other brother's room remained.
"If my brother doesn't care, I don't have any problems..."Tomoshi Tanaka led everyone to the other brother's room.
"Brother?"
Tomoshi Tanaka knocked on the door but no one responded, he opened the door directly and asked, "Can I go in?" ”
In the room, the TV was playing the professional baseball championship final, and the man in the bathrobe was holding his face on the recliner in front of the TV with his right hand propped up as if he were asleep.
Tanaka Tomoshi walked over and looked at it quietly, and then whispered: "It's okay, come in, my brother seems to be asleep." ”
Officer Twilight and Tang Ze entered the room, but it was clearly empty, and there wasn't even a lot of it, let alone a corpse.
