Chapter Forty-Six: The Vanishing Corpse
"I don't have a way!" Regarding Officer Twilight's hopeful eyes, Yamamoto Yoshitsuru shook his head and said, "But if you want to catch the jewelry thief, you must first let the other party commit another crime, so when he has spent almost all the money, he will naturally make another move, and then he will have a chance." ”
Twilight Thirteen frowned and said, "But if you can't catch him, even if you catch him, you won't be able to recover the loss." ”
"The loss is inevitable, as long as you can catch him, I believe it will be worth it." Yamamoto Yoshitsuru shook his head and said, "And when the time comes, it's best to concentrate a large number of jewels in one place and guard them strictly." Didn't the jewel thief say that it was fun, it means that he is not afraid of challenges, so we will directly set a trap to see if he comes. ”
"And what if he doesn't come?"
"There's no way around it, after all, I'm not a jewel thief, so I can't know what he thinks. I'm just guessing based on his personality that he might not be afraid of a challenge, so that's why I just said that. Yoshitsuru Yamamoto shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
"What Brother Yamamoto said is also a solution, I will report it to the inspector general, and it will be decided from above." Twilight Thirteen nodded and stood up.
"Dididi"
Hearing the ringing of the mobile phone, Yoshitsuru Yamamoto smiled apologetically at the two and answered the phone: "Hello, I'm Yoshitsuru Yamamoto!" Oh, it's Conan! Well, I see, Officer Twilight is here too, we'll go over together, you guys wait over there. ”
Twilight Thirteen, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard his name be mentioned, and when Yoshizuru Yamamoto hung up the phone, he asked, "Brother Yamamoto, is something wrong?" ”
Yamamoto Yoshitsuru nodded and said, "Well, there was a murder, I don't know the specifics, let's rush over first." ”
At that moment, the three of them sat in the police car of Twilight Thirteen, went to the address that Conan said, and in about fifteen minutes, they came to a telephone booth and stopped. The four little guys of the Junior Detective Corps are waiting by the phone booth at the moment.
Looking at Conan sitting in the phone booth, Yoshitsuru Yamamoto asked, "Conan, I just heard you say on the phone that you found a corpse, can you tell me about the specific situation?" ”
"Hmm!" Conan nodded, pointed to the house in front of him, and said, "The corpse is in that room, and when we saw the corpse, we didn't see anyone come out of this room." In other words, the body is still inside, and as long as you search it, you will definitely be able to find it. ”
Listening to Conan's words, the next group walked towards the house he pointed to.
"Ding!" "Ding!" "Ding!"
"Hey, open the door, it's the police!" Twilight Thirteen rang the doorbell as she spoke.
It didn't take long for the people inside to open the door and say with some unhappiness: "Who is it?" It's noisy! ”
"I'm Officer Twilight, and the kids said a body was found in your room." Twilight Thirteen took out the police badge as he spoke.
"Corpses?" The man in the yukata took a few steps back in surprise.
"Yes, we see it very clearly!" Conan said loudly, "That man was in the bathroom, and he fell to the ground covered in blood. ”
"That's right, we all saw it!" Motota Kojima, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Ayumi Yoshida replied loudly.
Hearing this, the man's pupils shrank slightly, and he said, "How is this possible?" The bathroom has been used by me from just now to now. He pointed to the room at the end of the corridor and said, "That is the bathroom, if you don't believe it, you will know by looking at it yourself." ”
"Then please let us go over and have a look!" Twilight Thirteen said as she pushed the man away and walked inside, opening the bathroom door.
"The corpse is gone!" Looking at the clean bathroom, Conan's eyes opened in disbelief.
"It's gone!" "Gone!" The other three members of the Junior Detective Corps also looked at the bathroom in disbelief.
"Look, what a corpse, there's no such thing at all, is there?" The man was very unhappy and said, "These little ghosts must be playing a prank!" ”
Conan retorted loudly, "But we really saw that in this bathroom, there was a corpse covered in blood. ”
"Yes, yes!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya echoed loudly.
Kojima Mototai said loudly: "It must have been hidden by this old uncle!" ”
"Hmm," Mori Kogoro said, looking at his watch, "It's been about fifteen minutes since we called Conan and we've been here." And the time to hide the corpse is only ten minutes. ”
"It's stupid, since you're looking for it, then let you find one enough, I'm going to rest on the second floor!" The man said unhappily and walked in the direction of the stairs.
"Wait!" Yoshitsuru Yamamoto stretched out his hand to stop the man, shook his head and said, "If there really is a corpse, it is what you hid." You want to go to the second floor now, can I doubt that you want to go up and dispose of the body? ”
"That's right!" Twilight Thirteen nodded in agreement and said, "Sir, it's better that you don't leave our sight while we're looking for the body." That clears your suspicions, doesn't it? ”
"Officer Twilight is right!" Maori Kogoro also nodded and said, "This gentleman, it's better that you don't leave our sight." ”
"You guys!" The man pointed at a few people and said angrily, "What do you mean by this, suspect that I am a murderer, right?" In that case, then I'm here waiting for you to search, and if you don't find anything, I'll definitely complain to you!" ”
Twilight Thirteen said in a deep voice, "If nothing is found, you can always complain, sir." ”
"Humph!" The man snorted coldly and stood in place very unhappily.
"Alright, let's search it now!" Twilight Thirteen faced a few people.
"Good!" The three of them answered the call of Kojima Motota of the Junior Detective Group and walked towards the other rooms.
Glancing at the three young detectives who were leaving, Yoshitsuru Yamamoto said to Officer Twilight, "Officer Twilight, I think let's go to the second floor first, maybe we can find anything." ”
Maori Kogoro, who was also very suspicious of men, nodded and said, "That's right, let's go upstairs and look for it first, maybe we'll find something." ”
"Humph! If you want to search, then come along! The man walked ahead unhappily.
Following the man, the group first came to the room next to the stairs. When I entered the door, I found a man sitting in a chair, sleeping in front of the TV with one hand on his cheek, and the weather forecast was playing on the TV.
"This is my brother!" As he spoke, the man walked over to the sleeping man and said softly, "Brother, brother, there are police officers who want to search the room, is it okay?" ”
The man who was asleep did not answer, but fell asleep quietly, as if he had not heard.
"My brother is asleep, he should be fine!" Seeing this, the man said to the few people standing at the door: "But you better be quiet, don't disturb my brother's sleep, his temper is not very good!" ”
"We'll try to be careful!" Mori Kogoro said and walked straight inside and rummaged through the closet. Officer Twilight, Yoshizuru Yamamoto, and Conan then walked in together and watched from the room.
Seeing the man standing next to the man who was asleep, Yoshitsuru Yamamoto deliberately walked over there and looked in the room. There was no heartbeat, and there was a faint smell of blood, and it seemed that the man was not asleep, but dead. The person who kills people is afraid that it is the man standing over there.
The room was very small, and there was no place to hide people, and Maori Kogoro couldn't help but say to Conan: "Alas, I said little ghost, you shouldn't be mistaken, there is no so-called corpse at all." ”
"Uncle, I'm sure I'm not mistaken!" Conan immediately replied, "And I've only found one room, maybe in other rooms." ”
After listening to Conan's words, Yamamoto Yoshitsuru, who was thinking about whether to directly debunk that man's trick or find a way to debunk it, moved in his heart, walked to Conan's side, and shouted loudly: "Conan, you little devil shouldn't be lying!" As he spoke, he tilted his mouth in the direction of the sleeping man, believing that Conan should understand what it meant.
Seeing his movements, although Conan didn't understand the reason, he still replied loudly: "No! I'm not lying! I saw the corpse obviously! ”
"Bang!" With a hammer on Conan's head, Mori Kogoro whispered, "Little ghost, don't you know that others are sleeping?" Do you know that such a loud noise will wake me up? ”
"That's it!" Twilight Thirteen nodded and said to Yamamoto Yoshizuru, "Brother Yamamoto, you have to be careful, how can you speak so loudly?" ”
"Hehehe" Yamamoto Yoshitsuru laughed softly when he heard this, looked at the man who was standing there but was sweating nervously at the moment, and said: "This gentleman who I don't know my name yet, I have seen through your tricks, I think you should confess directly!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" The man looked a little nervous, and he couldn't even reply a little unfavorably.
Twilight Thirteen looked at Yamamoto Yoshitsuru with some puzzlement and said, "Brother Yamamoto, who are you?" ”
Before Yoshitsuru Yamamoto could speak, Conan smiled and said, "Because we just spoke so loudly, the old uncle who was sleeping hasn't woken up yet, isn't it a very abnormal thing?" ”
"You," the man pointed at a few people angrily and in horror, but he didn't expect his plan to be discovered like this.
"Chirp!" At this time, the TV was suddenly turned off.
