Chapter 36: It Looks Like I've Found This Little Mouse
"Hmm! Big brother! Absolutely! ”
Looking at the candy in front of him, the boy's eyes lit up, and he changed his words directly from an uncle to a big brother.
Kudo Shinichi who was walking on the side came out with a black line.
How do these imps feel so "bear"?
After taking the candy, the bear child spoke: "There was originally an old man living in this courtyard, but not long after the old man died, his son came back to live." ”
"But my mother said that he has a bad head, and he is always nervous, and he always has a strange smell on his body, and everyone doesn't like him."
Hearing this, Yun Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Weird smell?" Kudo Shinichi asked suspiciously, "What weird smell?" ”
"Hmm." The bear child glanced at him, and saw Yun Chuan hand over a few more candies, before he recalled carefully: "Feeling...... Like the smell of not taking a shower in months? But it's different, and I'm a little bit unclear. ”
The corners of Yun Chuan's mouth curled, and he took over the conversation and said, "Does it smell like something rotten?" For example, fruits, and ...... Animal? ”
Kudo Shinichi's heart suddenly shook, and he looked at Yun Chuan with a somewhat surprised expression.
"Yes, yes, yes! That's the smell! ”
The bear child chick nodded like a peck of rice: "Listening to you say this, it is indeed a bit like the smell of my puppy being found a few days after it died." ”
Kudo Shinichi hurriedly came up and asked excitedly, "Then do they have a dog at home?" ”
"Huh? How do you know? ”
The bear child scratched his head and replied truthfully: "I did have a wolf dog before, and he barked at anyone who approached it, and the fool was very close to it, just like a brother." ”
"However, I don't know what he thinks, one day he suddenly killed the dog with his own hands."
If the wolfdog was still there, they wouldn't dare throw the rock.
“…… Call! If both conditions are met, it is likely to be this person. ”
Kudo Shinichi breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Yunchuan deeply.
It's a step slower for this guy again.
Yun Chuan took out a handful of candy from his pocket again, bent down slightly and said gently: "Child, take the candy and leave, don't smash other people's glass in the future." ”
This extremely soft tone surprised Kudo Shinichi a little.
He'd never seen Yun Chuan like this.
But at this time, the bear child made a grimace at Yun Chuan.
"Slightly~ It's your business! You're not a cop! ”
With that, he grabbed the candy from his hand and fled with the other children in small steps.
"Hey!"
Kudo Shinichi came back to his senses, looked at their fleeing backs, and felt his fists harden: "These stinky little ghosts...... What a beating! ”
As he spoke, he wanted to catch up and teach him a lesson.
But Yun Chuan on the side stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Don't care."
Looking at the children's backs, Yun Chuan shook his head helplessly.
Kudo Shinichi retracted his steps indignantly, and looked at Yunchuan with some confusion.
Although they have not been together for a long time, he now probably understands that this guy Yunchuan is a black-bellied.
Don't you care if you're ridiculed by the imp?
It's not like this guy's personality.
Or is it that Yun Chuan actually likes children very much?
"It's important to get down to business, let's go and have a look first."
Hearing Yun Chuan's words, Kudo Shinichi came back to his senses and looked at the fence wall of the courtyard in front of him.
After observing the surroundings and making sure that there was no one around, he also took a few steps back.
Then, after running a few steps, I climbed directly onto the low wall.
"Oh! First time! Cool! ”
Kudo Shinichi waved his arms childishly and rode against the wall to look out into the courtyard.
The empty yard was only littered with garbage and shards of glass, and dust and vines had already covered the entire yard.
"It doesn't feel like there's anyone living there."
Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi turned around and looked down at Yun Chuan, just as he was about to pull him up.
only to find that Yun Chuan's figure had disappeared.
"Huh? What about people? Kudo Shinichi blinked stunned.
Crunch~
The voice coming from beside him, he subconsciously turned his head to look.
I saw that Yun Chuan casually pushed open the rusty iron door, and looked at him with the eyes of a fool.
Although not a word was spoken, everything was in plain sight.
"Damn! Who knew that this yard would not lock the door! ”
Kudo Shinichi blushed with anger.
I wanted to pretend to be handsome!
As a result, the clown turned out to be himself.
Yun Chuan shook his head helplessly, walked into the courtyard, and then gently pushed open the door of the house that was not locked.
When you enter the house, the first thing you see is the kitchen.
However, there were only a few old kitchen utensils, and the whole kitchen was already covered with dust.
"Ahem! Is that fool really an ogre? ”
Kudo Shinichi walked in, stretched out his hand to fan the dust, frowned and asked, "Are we looking for the wrong person?" ”
According to the "psychological portrait" that Yun Chuan made for the ogre before.
The other party should be a psychopathic person who attaches importance to taste and texture.
It is impossible for him to use these old kitchen utensils, let alone handle "ingredients" in such a dusty kitchen.
"Well, let's look elsewhere."
Kudo Shinichi shook his head in disappointment, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Don't worry."
Yun Chuan suddenly opened his mouth to stop and looked at the layout inside the house.
Finally, he fixed his eyes on the carpet of the hall.
Yun Chuan walked up and stomped on it with his foot.
Knock knock!
"This!?"
Hearing this strange sound, Kudo Shinichi's mouth opened slightly.
This is...... Hollow?
Yun Chuan squatted on the ground, and after carefully lifting the carpet, he revealed what was underneath.
Sure enough, underneath was a very clean plank.
Yun Chuan clasped the edge of the plank and gently lifted it with his hand.
Creak!
At the moment when the wooden board was opened, a dark entrance appeared in front of the two of them, and a familiar stench also came up directly.
"Poof! This tastes ......."
Shinichi Kudo covered his nose and took two steps back.
The smell is all too familiar.
It's exactly like dead pork in a cannery that has been exposed to the sun for a few days!
"Looks like we've found this little mouse."
Yun Chuan narrowed his eyes and walked down first.
Seeing this, Shinichi Kudo behind him couldn't help but be stunned.
"Huh! Do you want to go straight in? It's too dangerous, don't you need to inform Officer Twilight? ”
This basement is so hidden that you can tell that there are ghosts at a glance.
Go in without knowing the details......
He hesitated.
However, looking at Yunchuan, which was gradually going down, Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth and followed.
"Really! How do you feel like you're suddenly more anxious than me! ”
The passage to the underground was very narrow, and the steps were wet and slippery, so even if there was a flashlight to illuminate it, the two of them had to be careful with every step.
As it progressed, the fishy smell became stronger.
This is the smell of human blood.
