Chapter 47: Jumping back and forth on the edge of Death's territory
"Haha, the heart of justice must be there, but you are still so young, don't learn from old men and old ladies, and engage in superstition every day."
The old policeman taught him this, completely forgetting that he was also an old man: "You can come to me for anything, as long as you don't violate the rules, I will try to help you." β
β¦β¦ But we're already in violation.
Bai Shi coughed twice, shook off the messy thoughts, and said sincerely: "Thank you." β
On this trip, he gained neither more nor less-
Regarding the ancient mansion case, Shiraishi learned several new people involved, as well as their addresses.
And about Tomoya Ogino, he also got the address registered by the family.
If you really can't find a breakthrough in the back, you can put on a vest and visit them one by one......
Coming to the police station to check the information of these people is actually a little risky.
- If something happens to the people on the back foot just after the front foot is checked, then he will undoubtedly be very suspicious.
But after thinking about it, compared to him, Maori Kogoro and Conan, big guys who die wherever they go, are obviously more suspicious than him, and in the original book, seeing that more than a thousand words have passed, the two of them have not been arrested...... So I probably won't have a problem with it.
Even if there is, this world is a peaceful society after all, and the legal system is emphasized, and evidence is necessary to arrest people.
An alibi is an important point when excluding suspects.
For Shiraishi, who has a vest, as long as he doesn't put his body in a Poke Ball, an alibi? You can do as much as you want.
"What a peaceful and friendly world ......," Shiraishi thought about it, and the better he felt.
When I arrived home, there was still more than an hour left before the mission started.
After reading the class schedule that automatically changes the date, and confirming that there is no class today, Shiraishi held a cup of butterfly and ninja took the corn soup made from instant food in the supermarket, and lay down at the window boredly, waiting for the task to start.
The people who were waiting were about to fall asleep, and the set alarm clock rang before it jingled.
Shiraishi pressed the mechanical alarm clock with two iron ears on it, turned it off, and patted his face to sober himself up, at this time, there were still five minutes left before the mission started.
Five minutes later, Shiraishi walked to the back door of his house with a pinch, and when he pushed the door, the door frame happened to hit a man passing by and holding a bunch of small boxes piled above his head.
The man groaned, not being hurt by the door frame, but the large pile of boxes inevitably scattered all over the ground. One of them bounced twice, and one side pressed against the foot of the white stone.
Shiraishi picked it up and looked at the person at the same time.
This is a tall middle-aged man, he is wearing a slightly wrinkled suit, and there are leather shoes under his feet, not quite like the porter that Shiraishi just thought.
As he leaned over to pick up the box, a strange smell slowly diffused from his body with this action.
Shiraishi shrugged his nose twice and remembered. This is the smell of disinfectant that can often be smelled in hospitals and health centers. When he was a child, he was naughty and mischievous a lot, and he ran more clinics, and this smell was naturally engraved in his mind.
This man is injured? Or is he a doctor who sneaked out just after work?
The road at the back door of the Shiraishi house leads to the staircase leading to the second floor of the Mori house. Those who will take this road, except for the three protagonists upstairs, should only see the big words "Maori Detective Agency" and be attracted to the client.
When he was guessing, Shiraishi didn't stop in his hands.
Judging from the movement of the box falling to the ground just now, each of these things is not heavy, and I don't know what it contains.
He squatted down and barely picked up seven or eight, but he couldn't take them, so he wanted to hold them and return them to the other party.
When I looked up, I saw that the man's arms were already full of boxesβI don't know how he had managed to hold them up when he came.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect there to be people living here." After the man who spilled the things apologized, he looked at the very inconspicuous back door of Baishi's house in surprise, and then looked at the box in his hand and wanted to take it.
It's a pity that after trying this way, he found that he couldn't free his hands at all, and finally he could only move his mouth, "That...... Can you please help me pile it up on this? He struggled to take off his chin and tapped it in his arms.
"......" Bai Shi was silent for two seconds, and came to the conclusion - unless he is an acrobat, how can these twenty or so boxes be stacked steadily.
Thinking of the opening time when the system was stuck, Shiraishi knew that this person must have a lot to do with Ogino Tomoya's mission, so he showed a friendly smile:
"It's my fault that I didn't look outside when I opened the door. Are you going upstairs? Then I'll help you get these, it's only a few steps away. β
"Thank you, thank you, you're so polite." , the man in the suit breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He had actually thought about it just now, if his hands were so full, could he ring the doorbell. Unexpectedly, I met an enthusiastic young man on the way, and everything was solved so simply.
The two went upstairs one after the other, and Shiraishi followed behind, looking at the people in front of him a few times, but he didn't see anything special.
So he looked away again, and his gaze fell on the box in his arms.
The packaging of these boxes is very worn, and it looks very old.
He stared at the colorful patterns on it for a moment, and realized that it seemed to be some outdated toy.
β¦β¦ Toy? Out of date?
The two keywords appeared at the same time, and Shiraishi's feet were stunned, and last night Tomoya Ogino's words suddenly came to his mind: After I died, my father became very unhappy and gave away my toys in batches......
β¦β¦ It looks like it was delivered to the person in front of you!
That task, Shiraishi remembers very clearly - the object of salvation, one is a "resentful father", and the other is an "innocent and innocent bear child".
"Complaining father" Bacheng is the father of Ogino who sharpens knives in the middle of the night.
And the "innocent bear child", first of all, excludes Tomoya Ogino, who has long since died, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't save it.
Therefore, the latter task object is probably related to the person in front of you. Looking at his age, if there is a child, the child's age is indeed not too big.
While thinking about it, the man in the suit had already walked to the door of the second floor.
He turned his head, as if he wanted Shiraishi to help ring the doorbell, but after taking a look, he immediately realized that the state of the two of them was half a pound or two.
So he turned sideways and banged on the doorbell with a little difficulty.
The doorbell jingled.
After a few seconds, the door clicked open, and Maori Kogoro poked his head out yawning: "Hello, Maori Detective Agency, what's the ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Bai Shi, who had just walked up.
Maori Kogoro blinked, looked at the pile of boxes in the hands of the two outside the door, suddenly realized, and said with a smile:
"It's Shiraishi-kun, is this your relative? Knock on the door, why do you bring so many gifts, how embarrassed hahaha, come on, come in. β
"......" Shiraishi looked at the man in the suit who was stunned at the door, and coughed twice, "Mr. Maori, this should have come to you to entrust the case, and he brought these boxes." β
"Uh-oh." , Mori Kogoro made a statement, he turned around, removed the pile of things on the couch, and motioned for the man in the suit to sit:
"Entrust it, entrust it, why do you still bring so many gifts, how embarrassing! All you need to do is pay the commission fee! β
"That...... These are actually the contents I want to entrust......" The man in the suit held a bunch of toys and looked at Maori Kogoro who was off the line, and hesitated for a moment. I thought, do you want to change to a detective agency?
However, he glanced in the direction of the stairs, but found that Shiraishi was right next to it, he sighed, and finally comforted himself: It's all here......
A minute or two later, the two of them put a pile of boxes in their arms on the coffee table and laid them out.
