Chapter 31: The Vanishing Corpse (Part II)

After receiving Charlotte's report, the police rushed to the scene as soon as possible. Officer Twilight stepped out of the police car and saw only a few children.

"Hey, why are you guys? What about Miyamoto-san? Officer Twilight looked at the men strangely.

"Brother Charlotte is back." Conan said, "He was just helping us report the crime, and he said he had something urgent to leave, so he left with an older brother in a blue suit." ”

"Blue suit...... It seems that it is Kudo, and since they reported the crime, they must not be wrong! Officer Twilight muttered for a moment, "Good! Start your search now! ”

"Conan, why don't we see any big brothers in blue suits?" Yuan Tai looked at him and Asa Yu strangely.

“...... Just now! Seeing that Asa Yu didn't mean to speak, Conan could only speak helplessly, "When you were running around, we saw Brother Charlotte, who helped us report the crime and left. After speaking, he didn't forget to glare at Asa Yu fiercely.

Asa Yu sucked the lemon juice very calmly, didn't care about Conan's eyes, and took advantage of it brightly.

"And, from the beginning until now, no one in this house has come out of here." Conan added, "That is, the body is still in this house!" ”

"Okay." Officer Twilight rang the doorbell and waited for a long time before he saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a bathrobe angrily walking out of the doorway. "Who is it?"

"Hello, I'm Officer Twilight from the Metropolitan Police Department." Officer Twilight showed his police ID, "I just received a report that a body was found in this room. ”

"Corpse...... Corpse? The middle-aged man was taken aback.

"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes." Yuan Tai also said.

"It's in the bathroom!" Ayumi added.

"There's blood all over it!" Mitsuhiko also said.

"Humph!" The man snorted disdainfully, "It's nonsense, the bathroom has always been used by me just now!" He gestured behind him, "Look, the one at the end of the hallway." ”

"So, let's go in and have a look!" Officer Twilight pushes the man away and makes a beeline for the bathroom.

"Hey!" The man cried out dissatisfied.

The moment they pushed open the bathroom door, Conan and the others were stunned, "What! Conan muttered as he looked at the clean bathroom.

"The body is gone!" by Ayumi et al

"I'm just saying," the middle-aged man sneered, "and there are no corpses at all!" ”

"When we got Charlotte's call, it took us fifteen minutes to get here." Officer Twilight looked at his watch, "If you hide a body, ten minutes is enough, right?" ”

"Then you can check it out and be happy!" The middle-aged man said angrily, "I'm going back to the second floor to sleep!" My brother is coming back soon, so I'll ask him if there's anything! With that, he walked upstairs.

Brother? Asa Yu's heart moved. He walked gently to the top of the stairs and flicked it casually.

"Can we check it as we like?" Officer Twilight shouted.

"Yes, because with me," the middle-aged man said, turning back and arrogantly, "there is nothing unseemly!" ”

"Damn...... Find the body for me at once! Officer Twilight gritted his teeth and shouted at the police officers who had arrived.

"Damn, I can't find it!" Conan looked at the sun that was already in the west, gritted his teeth and said.

"Officer Twilight, that man's brother is back." A policeman walked in with a man in a suit.

"It's ...... What's going on! The man walked into the house and was shocked to see the chaos.

"Oh, that's right." Officer Twilight spoke, "We've been told that there's a body in this house!" ”

"Huh? Corpse? The man was shocked. At this time, Yuan Tai accidentally broke a teapot and made a loud noise.

"You're noisy! Can you give me some peace! A thunderous roar came from the second floor, and it was the voice of the middle-aged man just now.

"Yuhe and his brother seem to be very angry." The man walked up to the staircase and said, "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Tanaka Tomoshi." This is my business card. "In a corner where no one is looking, there is a leaf lying quietly.

One hand picked it up, looking at the leaves in his hand, Light Feather thoughtfully.

"Oh, so you're in the stock trading business." Officer Twilight looked at his business card and said, "Are you two brothers the only ones in this house?" “

"Yes, but my brother is actually living here." Tomoshi Tanaka said.

"Officer, the entire house has been searched, and no bodies have been found!" A police officer said.

"Keep looking!" Officer Twilight said, "Miyamoto-san wouldn't play such a joke with the Metropolitan Police Department!" ”

"It's good that you're witty." Conan quietly gave a thumbs up to Asa Yu, "If we had reported the crime, I guess we would have been kicked out by now." But," his brow furrowed, "I saw the body at the time, but why couldn't I find it?" “

"Speaking of which," Asaka replied, his eyes kept staring at Tanaka's face, "Do you think this Tanaka Tomoshi looks very similar to his brother?" ”

"It's very similar, yes, maybe just a pair of glasses and a beard......" Conan also looked at it for a while, "but the two of them are brothers, so it's not strange that they look alike, right?" “

"Kudo," Asaba began, "I think it's very likely that we've been misled in a different direction." “

"Huh?" Conan looked at Asa Feather strangely.

At this time, the phone suddenly flashed, and Mr. Tanaka's face changed, and he hurriedly picked up the phone.

"Hey, this is Tanaka's house...... No...... What the...... Oh no, no. Ok bye. He put down the phone and smiled unnaturally, "It's the wrong call." ”

"Did the phone ring just now?" Conan asked curiously.

"It's an answering machine." Asa Yu said lightly, "We have been misled. ”

"You understand?" Conan hurriedly asked.

"Say, apart from the police and us, how many people are in this room? It doesn't matter if it's alive or dead. Asa Yu asked rhetorically.

"Two...... You mean! Conan was stunned for a moment, then showed an incredulous look,

"There's no place to search, only there." Asa Ha pointed upstairs.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Officer, I really can't find it!" The police reluctantly reported.

"Could it be that Charlotte is really mistaken?" Officer Twilight said, touching his chin.

"Officer Twilight! There is still a place I haven't looked for! Conan's voice suddenly came from upstairs.

"Oops!" Ignoring Officer Twilight's surprised gaze, Tanaka turned and rushed upstairs. Then......

"You're noisy! Can you give me some peace! The familiar roar came again.

Mr. Tanaka, who ran to the door, and Officer Twilight, who followed closely behind, looked at the five children in the room in surprise, and Yukazu Tanaka sat quietly in his chair, motionless.

"The corpse is actually not missing......" by Yuantai

"It's been hidden in a ......" by Ayumi

“...... It's obvious place. "By Mitsuhiko

"Listen carefully, everybody." Conan pressed the phone again. Suddenly, the roar once again reverberated in everyone's ears.

"You're noisy! Can you give me some peace! ”

"yes, that's it." Looking at Officer Twilight, who seemed to understand something, Asaba smiled slightly, and pushed hard to face Yukazu Tanaka, who had no reaction.

"Boom!" Yukazu Tanaka was lying on the ground, but there was no sign of standing up, and he had already turned into a cold corpse!

"You killed your brother and pretended to be your brother to open the door, because you brothers are very similar in their own right." Conan paused, "And while the police searched the first floor, he changed his clothes and climbed out of the second floor, climbed over the tree, and then came back here pretending to be coming back from outside." The so-called disappeared corpse has always been here! ”

"When I was at the top of the stairs just now, I flicked a drop of lemon juice on the hem of your bathrobe," Asaba raised the drink glass in his hand, "However, I couldn't find this drop of lemonade on the hem of this corpse's clothes, instead, I found the bathrobe with lemonade dripping in your closet, Mr. Tanaka, can you explain?" Asa Yu said in an innocent tone.

"It's all him! It's all him! Tomosaki Tanaka suddenly screamed, "After he found out that I was reselling stocks, he actually used it to threaten me!" My once most beloved brother is gone! Turned into a parasite! I'll kill him! He wiped his face and changed to his brother's face, and shouted frantically, "I want my brother to reappear!" I'm my brother! ”

Asa and Conan looked at each other and sighed softly.

The next day.

"My cat is gone again!" Haoshu is back in the first grade class B.

"I smell the incident again!" Yuan Tai looked serious.

"Let's go next!"

"......" Conan looked at Asa Feather helplessly, "Are you still playing with them?" ”

"No more playing." Asa Yu put down the newspaper and stretched, "My sister is coming to see me tomorrow, you can go by yourself." With that, he yawned and went out the door.

"It's really ......," Conan looked helplessly at his back.
