Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Missing Body
"Conan! Did you really find a body in the bathroom? Yuichi, who saw the expression of the man in the bathrobe, frowned and did not follow the Twilight Police Department to the bathroom to check, but instead pulled Conan, who was quite active on the side, and asked with a serious face.
"Of course! Others don't know, don't you know yet? Brother Youyi! I'm not really a first-grade kid, what can and can't be joked, can I not know? If we hadn't accompanied them to set up this boy detective group today, and helped the little ghost next to him find the lost kitten for a few golden cards of Sword Superman, we wouldn't have been able to find here! Let's ask, why should we, who have no grudges with this master in the past, frame him recently? And if there really isn't a male corpse in his house, it's useless for us to frame him! ”
"Really? Then we may have met an opponent this time! The other party has already laid it out, and it seems that he is still very confident! In that case, I'm going to have to fight him! After listening to Conan's anxious explanation, Yuichi, who also agreed with Conan's words, immediately had a new interpretation of the fearless expression of the bathrobe man, which was the confident expression of the high-IQ criminal.
Sure enough, the Twilight Police Department, who took Ayumi and a few other little ghosts to the bathroom, opened the bathroom door and saw a clean and tidy bathroom environment, as for the bloody male corpse? Not at all.
"How? I'm not wrong, right? There are no male corpses here, these little ghosts are teasing you! Didn't I expect that we, the taxpayers, would hand over the state's money to support you idiots and waste? The man in the bathrobe, who slowly followed behind the Twilight Police Department to the bathroom door, sneered and continued to sneer.
"We didn't tease the Twilight Police Department, it must be uncle, you hid the body!"
"That's right! We screamed in horror when we found the body just now! He must have heard our commotion, so he quickly hid the body! ”
"Hide? It took us about fifteen minutes to get here, and if the noise of the children really disturbed the murderer, it was not impossible to hide the body and dispose of the scene during this time! Hearing the explanation of Ayumi and the others, the Twilight Police Department, who was more inclined to these children in the depths of his heart, reasoned along this line of thought.
"Bastard! Since you believe in these little devils so much, then you should search for it! I'm going back to the 2nd floor to sleep! Anyway, my brother and so on are coming back, this is his home! Have a good talk with him, the master! The man in the bathrobe, who heard the words of the Twilight Police Department, seemed to be enraged, and after throwing such a sentence fiercely, he turned around and went up to the second floor without looking back.
"Is there a brother living in this house? Interesting! Could it be a gang? After listening to Conan's explanation, Yuichi had already determined that there was a male corpse in this room, and after turning on the detective system, he no longer cared about the Twilight Police Department and others who were directing others to search each room, and took Conan slowly into the bathroom where they found the body, and squatted on the ground to investigate carefully.
"Even if the body is removed and the blood stains are disposed of, the traces of the crime that should be left will continue to remain at the scene, and this will not be transferred by people's will! And the difference between the real crime-solving masters and other ordinary people is only that they are more careful! Like some places that go unnoticed! While arguing with Conan next to him, Yuichi, who was squatting on the ground to look for evidence, finally saw what he was looking for under the bathtub, and his tone became a little excited.
"Sewer?"
"That's right! It's this bathroom drain, and if we uncover it, we might get some evidence that excites us! For example, this one! After slowly opening the filter on the sewer pipe, Yuichi, who had removed a bunch of dirt from the net, gently pinched out a strange thing with the small tweezers in his pocket.
"What is this?"
"Bloody cotton wool! Judging by the color, it should have just been washed down, and it should have been accidentally washed down when the murderer wiped the ground with a towel and washed it with water! As long as it proves that there is a blood stain of the general, we can ask the man in the bathrobe why this happened! After taking a final look at the bathroom, Yuichi stood up and beckoned a police officer to call the forensic department and ask them to come and inspect the bloodstains at the scene. After taking Conan around the first floor, he finally set his sights on the second floor.
"Dusk Police! The first floor has been basically searched, but the body has still not been found, I just carefully investigated the bathroom, and did find some traces indicating that there was a lot of blood flowing out of the bathroom before, the man in the bathrobe just saw that he was not injured, and now he is the only one in the room, so the origin of these blood stains is a little suspicious! ”
"Brother Kudo! You mean? Does this male corpse really exist? Just hidden by the murderer? If there is no one on the first floor, then the second floor where the man in the bathrobe is located is very suspicious! It's just that we didn't have a search warrant, and this guy is so uncooperative...... It's hard to do! ”
"Dusk Police! The owner of this room, the younger brother, is back! Just when the Twilight Police Department was a little embarrassed, the real owner of the room mentioned by the bathrobe man walked into the house in a suit and leather shoes with a briefcase.
"What's going on in my house?"
"Aha! It's nothing, it's just that a few kids said they found a body in your house! So we ......"
"Corpses? It can't be my brother, right? How is he? Did the killer get caught? Why didn't anyone notify me? ”
"No...... It's not your brother, your brother was still here with us! He's quite energetic! It's someone else! ”
"Oh? Is it? But that's not possible, right? How could there be a male corpse in my house for some reason? What about my brother? I'll ask him what the hell is going on! ”
"Your brother! He's sleeping on the second floor! Thinking of that arrogant face, the corners of the Twilight Police Department's mouth twitched and he replied with a little headache.
"That's right! I take the liberty of asking, what kind of profession is Brother Ling engaged in? We didn't mean anything else, we were just curious! After all, your brother has just impressed us! Just when the Twilight Police Department didn't know how to speak, Yuichi on the side suddenly opened his mouth to take over the topic.
"Oh! He's a freelance writer! Usually I don't have anything to do, I just stay at home and write something! As for my words, this is my business card! Please laugh! ”
"Tomosa Tanaka...... Business Manager of a Securities Company! What a good job! No wonder you can afford to buy a house like this! After glancing at the business card in his hand, Yuichi smiled and handed the business card to the Twilight Police Department on the side and continued to greet the other party.
"Whereever, where, it's just a fluke to make some money! That's a far cry compared to you! To tell you the truth, when I was a child, I admired the police the most, and I fantasized about becoming a police officer when I grew up! If it weren't for ......"
Just when this younger brother Tanaka Zhishi, who has a very different personality from his brother, and the Twilight Police Department, Yuichi and others were playing, Yuichi who looked at the prompts in the detective system looked him up and down, and finally found what he was looking for.
