Shiraishi looked at the building, trying to find a window that was not closed tightly and slipped in, but at this moment, an anxious "Sachiko!" suddenly came from overhead. ”

As soon as Shiraishi looked up, he saw Kenji Yamashiro floating outside the third floor, looking at the scene inside very anxiously.

The one he was in was the window of the corridor on the third floor, and three or four meters further down was the window of Ikemura Xun's study.

Hearing him shouting so urgently, Shiraishi didn't know what was going on, he looked at the old tree next to him, and he played extraordinarily, and climbed all the way up the high branches along the tree.

Once he had stood firm, Shiraishi looked out the window as he rubbed the dry bark from his paws off the moss from his paws.

Sachiko Yamashiro was standing at the door of Isao Ikemura's study and was knocking on the door.

The windows of the corridor and the study are tightly closed, and the sound insulation is quite good, but fortunately, in this form, the sense of hearing is sensitive, and Shiraishi listened with his ears pricked up for a while, and heard that it was Sachiko Yamashiro who wanted to enter the study, but Ikemura Xun was not in the mood to see her.

Sachiko Yamashiro was holding something in her hand, and judging by the slender reflection that occasionally flashed, it looked like a needle.

She also had a ball of fishing line in her pocket, and with the knock on the door, some of the coils poked out of her pocket, and it was quickly spotted by Sachiko Yamashiro and pressed it deeper.

After knocking for a while, it seemed that it would be suspicious to grind like this any longer, Sachiko Yamashiro had an ugly face and left unwillingly.

Shiraishi hung in a tree branch, thinking about what she had just done, and only felt that the expression looked like a murderer's face.

Kenji Yamashiro, the father, has a pretty good intuition, and his daughter seems to really want to make trouble.

…… It's also fortunate that Ichimura didn't open the door, and Sachiko Yamashiro can't reach him, so she doesn't have to worry about her being arrested for homicide for the time being.

Shiraishi breathed a sigh of relief, and originally wanted to continue looking for where he could sneak into Ikemura's house, but before going down, he thought about it and felt that he had climbed up, so it was better to see if Ikemura had honestly prepared an apology letter.

This tree in the courtyard of the village house is very old, and the branches are full of branches, which is very convenient for the cat to inspect.

Shiraishi followed a few branches, jumped onto the branch outside Ikemura's study, and looked in, and saw the fat uncle frowning, looking at an old newspaper on the table.

The front page was a report of Kenji Yamashiro's arrest twenty years ago, and in the past, this newspaper was a secret collection of exploits by Isao Ikemura, but now, as the evidence was picked up by an anonymous person and placed on his desk, Isao Ikemura began to panic.

…… There are many things that only he and Kenji Yamashiro know, but that mysterious person was able to collect them smoothly, as if there were ghosts and gods to help them.

"It's like being cornered, huh...... You can't be cursing me. Ikemura looked gloomy as he stared at Kenji Yamashiro's face on the newspaper.

After a moment's pause, he suddenly got up, grabbed the newspaper, the apology letter, and copies of the evidence, and stuffed them into the shredder next to him.

Back at his desk, Ikemura pulled out an unknown tablet from a drawer and threw it into his coffee cup.

Isao Ikemura used to drink a cup of hot coffee prepared by his wife before working every day.

Who knew that he sat comfortably in the study today, and before he drank the coffee, he first saw the pile of evidence of his crime on the table, as well as the threats left by the other party.

Not to mention drinking coffee, Ikemura Xun was so anxious that he couldn't even eat, and he kept sitting here thinking about countermeasures, but there was nothing he could do - even if he wanted to kill him, he didn't know who to kill.

The coffee had long since been cooled, and the deadly pills slowly dissolved in it.

Xun Ikemura held the handle of the coffee cup, looked at Kenji Yamashiro in the newspaper, suddenly took a deep breath, and said viciously, "Don't think you won." You died so early, but I have been prosperous and prosperous for the past twenty years, and I have married your beautiful wife...... It's worth it in this life! ”

Then he picked up his coffee under Shiraishi's stunned gaze and drank it down.

"......" would rather commit suicide than apologize, and start a wave of ridicule before he dies, what a suffocating operation.

Ikemura Xun gradually stopped moving, Shiraishi looked at him for a while, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look to the side, and saw Kenji Yamashiro floating out of the window sluggishly, the whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, and tears slowly appeared in the corners of his eyes.

It's too miserable to let it follow......

Shiraishi looked at the entrusted soul sympathetically, feeling that he should comfort him, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Thinking that the form of a cat can't speak human words, Shiraishi finally gave up again, so let him digest it himself.

The big tree was planted right around the corner of the house, and Shiraishi followed the branches and looked at both walls of the second and third floors.

However, perhaps it was Ikemura who learned the lesson of being broken into the study by a mysterious person, and today, all the windows are closed. The vents are also nailed so strong that they can't be removed without professional tools.

Shiraishi was sitting on a tree branch, a little worried, when he suddenly heard a commotion at the front door.

It stepped on the branches of the tree and ran over to take a look, just in time to see a few familiar people led by Ikemura Gongjiang into the Ikemura house.

Shiraishi began to think.

- Conan, Hattori, and Mori Kogoro gather, and there happens to be another dead man in the study now, and according to the law that detectives and murders attract each other, they will definitely go to Ikemura's room.

If you can find a way to get them to put the cat in, you can keep an eye on the situation up close and deal with it at any time.

Thinking so, Shiraishi jumped back to the study window.

On the way upstairs, Conan and his party bumped into all the people in Ikemura's family. When I met it, I had to introduce and greet again...... So much so that Shiraishi hung on the tree and waited for a few minutes before he finally heard someone coming at the door of the study.

Ikemura knocked on the door, but her husband was already out of breath at this time, and of course no one opened it.

The door key of the study, Ikemura Gongjiang actually has a pair.

She expressed her doubts about her husband's locking of the door, then used the key to open it and entered the study.

The detective and four family members also followed the room. They glanced at Xun Ikemura, who was behind the desk with his head propped up, as if he was sleeping, and quickly turned his attention away from the Mediterranean uncle and looked at the luxurious bookcase in the room, with the hardcover books and ornaments on it.

Ikemura walked up to Ikemura Xun, as if trying to shake him awake. However, after seeing her movements, Shiraishi outside the window suddenly stood up.

- Ikemura Gongjiang is actually pinching a needle in his hand. With the action of shaking people, she stabbed the needle hard behind Ikemura's ear.

After staying for a moment, Ikemura Gongjiang secretly pulled out the needle and threw it to the ground, and then, she pushed it hard.

Ikemura Xun's fat body suddenly fell to the side, and with Ikemura Gongjiang's frightened "Husband!" The other four people in the room turned their heads to look at the fresh corpse.

Shiraishi was stunned by this series of comical operations, and also thanks to the blessing of this key action, the relevant case seemed to open the floodgates from his mind.

In the room, Heiji Hattori took a brief inspection and soon found that Isao Ikemura was dead.

From the needles that fell to the ground, the small red dots behind the ears of the deceased, and the death of the corpse, he further judged that the person was poisoned by needles, and Conan made the same judgment.

When the two reasoning machines were put into operation, Mori Kogoro and Mori Ran also fulfilled their respective accusations - the former prevented the Ikemura family from entering the scene of the crime, and the latter quickly called the police.

While waiting for the police to come, Heiji Hattori began to reason.

The door of the study was opened by the four of them with their own eyes, that is to say, if an outsider infiltrates the crime, the window becomes the most likely infiltration point.

Hattori Heiji turned his head in contemplation, and saw Moriran standing by the window, reaching out as if to open the window.

However, thinking that this was a crime scene, she hesitated to stop again, and her hand was hanging in front of the switch.

"Don't spoil the scene!" Heiji Hattori immediately went over to stop it. After walking to Mao Lilan's side, he looked out the window and was stunned, understanding why this girl suddenly wanted to open the window.

A small black cat was curled up on the narrow windowsill, its ears drooping, a pair of cat eyes looking directly at Mao Lilan, and meowing at her from time to time, looking like it couldn't get off after climbing up, how pitiful it looked like.

Hattori Heiji glanced at it twice, and there was a strange urge to open the window and let it in.

But soon he came to his senses and dissuaded Mao Lilan, who couldn't help but stretch out his hand to the window again: "You can't destroy the scene, and this is a cat, it's only the third floor here!" ”

"Although the probability of falling to death is relatively low, the third floor is also dangerous." Conan looked at Maorilan's anxious look, turned his head to look at the windowsill, and he pointed to a few less obvious cat paw prints on the outside windowsill, "It seems to have something on its paws?" ”

"Mud and moss." Hattori Heiji took a few closer looks, and then looked at the big tree outside the window, "When I entered the door, I saw someone watering the turf, it must have slipped into the yard and climbed up the tree." ”

"That is, if someone sneaks in through the window, they will also get these things, but there is no trace of them on the windowsill except for cat's paw prints."

Conan pressed his somewhat drowsy head and concluded, "The windows are also very locked, and I think that the murderer should still be given priority to coming in through the study door." ”

“…… The little kid knows a lot, but he's a good seedling to be a detective. ”

Hattori Heiji looked at Maoriran and then at the cat, and he always felt as if he had become a villain.

What Conan said did make some sense, Hattori Heiji thought for a moment, and then gave in: "Forget it, you go find a bag and come over, lock it up after you bring it in, and don't let it step on it everywhere." ”

Shiraishi is not a serious detective after all, and after Hattori Heiji rushed over just now, after hearing his words, Shiraishi realized that he had forgotten to consider the issue of protecting the scene of the crime.

But fortunately, in this world where elementary school students can go shopping at the scene of the crime and often touch the evidence, the cat seems to have a little privilege.

As for the bag mentioned by Heiji Hattori......

Innocent, cats are so easy to catch?

Shiraishi glanced at the door of the study, estimated the distance, and secretly sharpened his claws on the windowsill.
