Chapter 7: The Hanged Man Surrounded by Black Cats
After solving the murder case that implicated the big star Yoko Okino, Yuichi's life returned to peace. Every day, in addition to going to and from work, researching some cases sent to search a lesson, he stayed at Dr. Asasa and listened to his cousin Shinichi Kudo, who was back in elementary school, complain about his second student life.
That's right, at the suggestion of Dr. Asa and the operation of Yuichi, Conan, who has a fake identity, is reluctantly sent to the Teidan Elementary School where they once stayed, and starts his student life again in Class B of the first year of elementary school.
"My dear brother! Did you get along with the children at school today? Did the teacher answer the questions positively? Also, are there any children who confess to you? Don't be shy, talk to my eldest brother, it's rare that I care about you so much! Anyway, this may also be a chance for God to give me a chance to make up for my regrets, this time I will definitely not bully you like before, dear cousin! Are you ready to receive my loving care from my cousin? I'm sure you'll feel your cousin's love this time! ”
Looking at the malicious gaze that flashed in Kudo's eyes, Conan subconsciously took two steps back and nervously refused, "Oh? Is it? Thank you so much for your kindness, but unfortunately I don't need to! That's right, Doctor! What about the new stuff you said you researched for me? The pair of foot-strengthening shoes I gave me last time were very good! I've cleaned up a bad guy with it. ”
"Oh? Is it? That's great, and the equipment you've been given this time is even more amazing, Dangdang Dang Dang! Check out the latest product researched by the greatest inventor of the century, Dr. Asasa, the prisoner's follow-up glasses! ”
"Wow! This is so cool! How do I use it? ”
Although I can't remember some specific events in my mind, some of the protagonists and their equipment that appear in each episode still have an impression in my mind, whether it is the previous voice-changing bow tie or the foot-enhancing shoes in the back and the prisoner tracking glasses that appear now, Yuichi, who knows their effects, pouted his lips without interest, and turned around and left Dr. Asasa's house. He doesn't care about those little kids' stuff, yes! I just don't care! It wasn't because Dr. Asasa said that he had only researched such a pair and that he had no intention of studying anything else that would not allow him to become an inventor and earn him a large prize, and that he refused his request.
I thought that after Conan went to school, I could take a break while he was in class, say goodbye to those headache murders for a while, and sit at the desk in his Metropolitan Police Department to draw those cartoons in his mind to pass the time, the serious Twilight Police Department walked in quickly with his inseparable little attendant Takaki Wataru.
"Brother Youyi! Is there something wrong? Come with me! There was a murder in an apartment in Nerima Ward! The case reported by the apartment landlord is too late to explain! Come with me! ”
"Murder? The first discoverer can't be a Maori detective, right? Is the imp who stayed at his house too? If the two of them were here, then this murder would definitely not be a simple murder, and I would have to use my brain to murder my brain cells! Hearing the sigh of Yuichi, who was summoned by the Twilight Police Department, he put down the paintbrush in his hand and asked helplessly.
"What is this? It's a case reported by the landlord alone, do you think Maori Kogoro is the god of death, where there is a murder, there is him? Stop talking nonsense! Let's go! ”
"Yes! Twilight Police Department! After quietly breathing a sigh of relief, Yuichi took his gun and police ID card and followed the Twilight Police Department to the parking lot downstairs of the Metropolitan Police Department.
"The deceased Kenzo Hirota, according to the landlord, came here a month ago, 170cm tall, 48 years old, the cause of death was suffocation, but there were two strangulation marks on his neck, one deep and one shallow. It should have been strangled and hung here, he was withdrawn, and he had little contact with other tenants in the same apartment, and even the landlord generally didn't deal with much, he paid the landlord a year's rent directly when he came here, and he didn't even have the most basic bargaining and moved in directly, so in the eyes of the old lady of the landlord, he was a very strange tenant. ”
"Is that all?" While inspecting the scene, the Twilight Police Department, who was listening to Takagi's report, frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"Huh! In addition to these, there is another suspicious point, but this is just the old lady of the landlord casually said, she said that this strange tenant used all new money when he handed her rent, and she had never seen this kind of person who paid all the rent in new money for a year, so she was very impressed, and she couldn't help but talk to me when chatting. ”
"Huh? A year's rent is all new money? Takagi Criminal, go and ask the old lady, is the rent that Kenzo Hirota gave her still there? Go and get her back with a swap. Yuichi, who was inspecting the scene from the side, couldn't help but join the topic when he heard the news.
"New banknotes? Yuichi! Are you skeptical? ”
"That's right, it was the one billion yen robbery that caused a sensation in the whole country a month ago! After getting the new banknotes, go to the robbed bank to check if it is the serial number in the part of the money they lost, if so, then we have a chance to make a big difference! ”
"I see?" Thinking of the impact of this case on the whole island country, in the spirit of giving it a try, the Twilight Police Department immediately asked Wataru Takagi to continue to communicate with the landlady according to Yuichi's proposal.
"Brother Youyi, do you think there's anything else you need to pay attention to?" With the handling of various cases in the past few days, although many of them have been solved with the help of Mori Kogoro, who suddenly became powerful, Yuichi's ability to solve the case has also been recognized by the Twilight Police Department. Always taught to be a man by a detective.,And this detective is still an idiot colleague who he looked down on before.,The face of the Twilight Police Department can't hang up.,After realizing that there may also be a rising star in their police force and another Kudo brother who had been helping before, disappeared.,The Twilight Police Department, who knows who is their own person, has been getting better and better recently.,Even the thoughts of revenge on Yuichi when he came back to him when he was an hour were quietly extinguished in his heart.。
"As soon as possible, find out about the social relations of the deceased, especially his occupation and range of activities, the deceased should like horse racing, many newspaper horse scripture plates have been circled and altered by him, go to the nearby racecourse and ask, to see if anyone has seen him. There are also nearby pet hospitals and pet stores to see if you can get some useful information. ”
"Pet shop? Pet Hospital? Why? Although the Twilight Police Department, who heard Yuichi's orders, had been playing the role of the logistics minister for a long time, he still came out unwillingly with a puzzled face to steal the spotlight, wanting to prove his mind.
"Why! Maybe you can take a look at that side, dear Dusk Police! After pouting in the dark corner of the room where the deceased had been hanged, eight pairs of dark green eyes poked out of the corner.
"Meow!"
