Sano turned sideways to dodge Officer Twilight's hug request and responded indifferently.

"It's been a long time."

Officer Twilight was not embarrassed, and approached Sanno and began to explain the situation: "Brother Sano, whether this case is a homicide or not remains to be considered, but since you ...... Conan appeared here, and I always feel that the possibility is quite large, so I'll tell you the specific situation first. ”

Sano raised his eyebrows, looked at Conan who was paying attention to him, and also looked at Conan here: "Hey, you kid, Officer Twilight said you are a plague god." ”

Conan and Officer Twilight twitched at the same time.

“…… Ahem, Brother Sano, let's get down to business first. ”

Officer Twilight chose to ignore Sano's words and continue to get down to business.

Actually, it's similar to what Sano heard about outside.

The only thing that is new may be the character setting and relationship behind it.

The missing man is a stockbroker.

The owner of this villa is an old man who looks quite ruddy.

The old man is very rich, so he is the customer.

It is said that the last time the missing person was seen, that is, on the last day of work.

He had said that he was going to visit this old man.

Because of the missing person's decision-making failure, the old man's stock lost a lot of money.

So they said they would no longer cooperate.

The missing are trying to fight again.

It sounds normal at this point, but it's just an ordinary work exchange.

But the next day, the missing person did not go to work and could not be contacted.

The company waited for a few days, but failed to wait for the individual, so it could only call the police to deal with it, and the police naturally contacted the family, that is, the robbers, to come and make a record.

The old man, who was the first suspect, said that he had not seen the missing person, although he had also allowed the police to search his home.

But nothing was found.

It can't be helped.

As of today, the missing person has been missing for more than a month.

Listen to all of Sano, without any nonsense.

He stepped forward and patted the old man on the shoulder, triggering a standard reaction.

This made Officer Twilight, Conan, and the others look stunned.

"Dig!"

Officer Twilight didn't say a word, picked up the shovel and jumped into the pit, shouting the slogan: "Even if you dig through this today, you have to find it for me!" ”

"Yes!"

And Sano stood on it, watching a group of people in the pit work and working, but the voice of "digging and digging in the small yard" unconsciously appeared in his mind...... Ahem, no, I noticed that the old man was a little surprised when he was touched by himself, and he didn't show any panic until now...... A little off.

Even if there is no such step, it is normal.

Or in Sano's experience.

The corpse shouldn't have been buried in this yard, but it wasn't buried here.

And where can it be buried?

If there weren't a shovel as an asset, Sano might have associated the problem with "eating", "building inside the wall" and so on.

Well......

Sano turned his gaze again, to the man with an anxious and expectant expression.

"You're the brother of the missing?"

The man looked at Sano hesitantly, he was worried, and he didn't want to pay too much attention to outsiders at all, but considering the picture just now, he felt that the person in front of him might not be ordinary and could come in handy, so he nodded.

"Yes."

"Where does your sister live in Tokyo?"

"She rented a small apartment."

"Is it still there?"

"Yes, because I was worried that I might need to find some important clues from there in the future, so I went to renew the lease when it was up, but I never touched the contents and everything remained as it was."

"Well, that's good, let's go and have a look."

Sano's look made Conan, who was about to come over and join in the fun, stopped: "Don't follow, just keep an eye on that old man here." ”

Conan smacked his lips, but didn't say anything more, nodding in agreement.

Then Sano and the man went all the way to an apartment.

…… It's said to be an apartment.,In fact, it's a little more advanced than Sano's nest.,The main thing is that the exterior decoration looks better.。

"Wait for me outside."

Sano didn't let the man in, he entered the house on his own, looked around, switched the vest, and made sure that there was no problem, so he summoned Xiao Hei with his backhand.

"Find it."

"Okay!"

Xiao Hei immediately began to pull up all over the room.

The point of this incident is nothing more than the body, or where the missing person is, to put it bluntly, it is to find someone, and it just so happens.

Sano has an artifact that is specially used to find people.

"Found the boss!"

After a while, Xiao Hei, who had been drilling in the quilt for a while, shouted excitedly.

"Are you sure it's the owner here?"

Sano confirmed, and Xiao Hei nodded frantically: "There will be no mistake, although there are other residual scents here, but the difference in thickness is too much, especially the heaviest smell, which obviously belongs to a woman's taste, so I think it is the goal." ”

"Hmm."

Sano nodded in agreement, bent down and touched Xiao Hei's head: "Yes, yes, I've grown a lot, I'll go back and give you a meal tonight, two chicken legs." ”

"Hehe, false praise, false praise, it's all the boss, you teach well."

The little black tail is about to shake into a helicopter, showing the connotation of the word dog's legs.

"Then let's get started, lock tracking."

Sano pulled out the map, and after an order, the target positioning emerged one after another...... That's right, one after the other, and not one after the other.

What's more, none of these positioning is red.

Sano's face was flat and he made a distinction as to where these locations were.

Rivers, parks, sewers.

And ...... Metropolitan Police Department?

The last location is the villa where Sano left earlier...... Next to, well, not in the yard, that's to be expected.

If Sanno remembers correctly, it seems to be inside the construction site that he was passing by.

"Dismemberment."

After rubbing his fingers, Sano didn't hesitate, let Xiao Hei hide it, and then went out, dragged the man who was waiting eagerly outside the door, and then killed back to the villa, and then without saying a word, he dragged Officer Twilight to the construction site next to him, pointed to the location of the target, and said.

"Dig this."

“…… Yes? ”

Officer Twilight, covered in mud, took a shovel and came to his senses for a while.

"What do you mean, Brother Sano, people are here?"

"Hmm."

Sano nodded, and glanced at the man again, not wanting to say anything more, but considering that if he really let Officer Twilight continue to dig and dig, then he would probably dig up something not very good later, so he still looked at the old man, who was obviously a little flustered after coming here, and said, "If you confess now, maybe it's still too late." ”

The eyes of everyone present suddenly focused on the old man.

The old man fell to his knees with a thud.

While confessing to the crime, he began a cliché confession.

It turned out that the missing person did go to the deceased's house that night, and the two sides did have some disputes, but to that extent, it was not enough for him to burst out and kill people, but the two were on the stairs at that time.

In the process of pushing, the missing person fell.

Manslaughter is also homicide, and the old man certainly didn't want to throw away his property and go to jail at his age, so he thought a little carefully and buried the body.

“…… So that's the case, and I said how he looked at us with a telescope at that time, to see if anyone had found the body. ”

Conan looked thoughtfully at the big flower on the ground, the beginning of today's case was that when he was playing baseball with the plague team here, he accidentally hit the ball into the old man's yard, and then ran into the man who was going to sneak in, which caused a series of questions later.

Looking at it now, some of the details are all right.

The only problem may be the speed with which Sanno solves the case...... This is inevitably too fast, why just went to the residence of the deceased, and even knew where the body was buried, and how did the context develop?

Conan turned back to the old man and asked, "Is this flower a mark that you planted to prevent you from forgetting the place where you buried your body?" ”

"Huh?"

The old man was stunned: "What flower?" ”

"Most of them were on the deceased, and I accidentally got rid of it."

Sano interjected...... After all, it's a construction site, except for the weeds all over the ground.

It is naturally unusual to have such a different kind of flower blooming.

…… If you don't rely on cheating, maybe this is the key point to solve the case.

"Oh."

Conan felt like he had discovered the truth.

Perhaps, it was Sano who saw this unusual cosmos at this construction site, and then found the seeds of the cosmos in the deceased's home.

That's when the truth was discovered.

Reasonable, reasonable.

…… This kid, why don't you ask yourself how you know that the body was buried?

Sano, who had been prepared for a long time and planned to block Conan's mouth on the grounds of "trade secrets", felt that Conan's curiosity today seemed to be less serious.

Sanno didn't know what kind of big flower on the ground was, but he did notice the anomaly it existed, but it would be too much to say that the corpse was here just by relying on this anomaly...... Forget it, it's okay not to ask, and save yourself from wasting saliva.

"Manslaughter, dismemberment, burial, I don't know if at your current age, you will still be in prison until you die."

Hearing Sano's emotion, everyone present was stunned again.

"Wait, wait a minute, Brother Sano, what did you just say, dismemberment??"

Officer Twilight looked incredulous.

Sano took a few steps forward, crouched down, and looked at the land next to the big flower.

"You should know, Officer Twilight, the ground that has been dug up and refilled is different from the ground around that has not been dug up, and although this is a construction site, some ground will be treated from time to time, but it will not be too big...... Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to bury people here. ”

"In order to avoid being noticed by the workers here, he didn't dare to dig the pit too big, so he dug a small one, and it has been a long time, and the wind and rain are dripping, and these anomalies are already difficult to see, but with my observation, I can still barely see this subtle difference."

Sano, who didn't plan to do any reasoning, just wanted to force the old man to confess everything himself, but he still couldn't help but analyze it according to the clues in front of him.

…… Could it be that the detective's bad disease is contagious?

And just when Sano finished analyzing and fell into deep thought, the old man on that head was already pressed to the ground by the man and beaten violently: "What a bullshit accident, what bullshit doesn't want to go to jail, just because of this trivial matter, I won't even give me a complete body of my sister, why don't you bastard die!?" ”

The man waved his fist with red eyes.

The officers next to him symbolically stopped them...... Accidental death, it may be reasonable, but in order to hide the corpse, the corpse was actually divided.

That's just too much to say.

It's okay to get beaten a little more...... The problem is that the old man is too old.

Officer Twilight is worried that this young man has lost his mind, and if he doesn't make a serious move, and if he makes any more surprises, it will really be more than worth the loss.

Not to mention that this old man is still useful.

“…… Where are the rest of the body? ”

After the situation finally eased up a bit, Officer Twilight asked the old man.

…… Since it is a dismemberment, it is naturally impossible for the corpse to be hidden in one place.

Officer Twilight still has this experience.

Of course, it is also possible that this guy was buried separately in different places on the construction site.

But if that's the case, then Sano's statement that "I'm worried about being noticed by the workers" seems to be a bit untenable, after all, even if the area is reduced, if the amount increases, the probability will also increase.

Besides, if there were, Sano would have pointed it out separately.

But Sano didn't do that.

Officer Twilight has absolute 100% trust in Sano.,To sum up.。

It's best to ask this old man directly.

The old man, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, didn't hide anything anymore, and answered truthfully, but when he heard the location he mentioned, Conan was stunned, and then looked at Sano: "It turns out that the severed hand we dug up last time is ...... Is it so coincidental? ”

"Huh?"

Sano raised his eyebrows, and after a long while, he remembered that there was such an incident.

…… No wonder, no wonder one is in the Metropolitan Police Department.

It was only beyond this that Sano frowned and asked, "When did that woman disappear, and when did we find the severed hand?" ”

"I have been missing for more than a month, and it has not been a month since I found the severed hand, so it's worth it."

Conan probably understood Sano's doubts and explained.

But these words directly made Sanno stunned.

…… It's not been a month since I dug up the severed hand???

Impossible.

It's been so long, and Sano's memory hasn't been bad enough yet.

"How long has it been since you've been smaller?"

Sano asked Conan.

Conan blinked and recalled, "Probably, three or four months, right?" ”

Gotcha.

Sano was silent.

Conan, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes suspiciously...... This guy is affected by his memory, so he can't remember the date of these things, or is it?

Perceptual impairment again?

No, the latter shouldn't be this kind of performance, that is, I can't remember?

But this level seems to be getting more and more serious, right?

"That's right."

Conan suddenly remembered something, raised his head, and asked unpleasantly.

"Why didn't I text you back earlier?"
