Dr. Asasa still likes to eat junk food. So after trying "cooking rehabilitation" for a few days, the family resumed their daily routine of eating takeout again.

Kaedehara also ushered in the day of school again.

"Conan! Kaedehara! Did you promise to give us what you promised to give us before the holiday? ”

Between classes, Ayumi, Motota, and Mitsuhiko came over.

"What's that?" Conan asked.

He actually knew what it was. But since he was tricked last time, his desire to play others has been high these days.

"Hey! Have you forgotten the promise you made that day!? ”

"How can I remember what happened for so long..."

"Here I am."

Kaedehara stood up, took a paper bag out of a drawer, and placed it on Conan's desk.

Conan, who was interrupted from casting the spell, looked at Kaedehara speechlessly. He still wants to tease these little ghosts.

Inside the bag are several small badges made by Dr. Asasa, which not only have an ultra-small radio receiver, but also have a transmitter that allows people wearing badges to talk remotely, which is very suitable for elementary school students to play detective games.

Ayumi and the others' eyes immediately focused on the badge, leaving behind what Conan had forgotten to promise.

The shape of the badge is very handsome, with the shape of Sherlock Holmes on the left side of the front, and the English words of the Junior Detective Corps engraved in the middle.

The kids loved it.

In this way, with the completion of the preparations, the Junior Detective Corps, which consisted of juveniles, detectives, and regiments, was formed.

Ayumi and the others were happy and excited, and for this reason, they also sneaked into the school's radio room to make a wave of publicity for the junior detective group.

Pity...

Until the end of school, they only received a commission to find a cat.

The cat's name is Hikaru Ko.

Although I felt that the commission to find a cat was a bit cheap, but for the sake of the reward was the Kamen Superman card that Ayumi wanted, the group still set off.

In fact, before the establishment of the detective group, they had already looked for cats and dogs a few times, and they were familiar with it, and they just walked all the way with photos and asked all the way. As for the skills, it's actually similar to Conan's method of finding the black-clad organization, that is...

Chance.

After some time.

"Damn! I can't find it anywhere..."

"It's strange, I just got lost yesterday, so I think it's still nearby," Mitsuhiko said.

"Hey! We've been looking so hard, so you should give us the card, right!? Yuan Tai said unhappily to the client, a boy who was a primary school student of the same level.

"No! If you don't find it, I won't give it to you! ”

"So... Are there any habits or traits of that cat? Conan asked.

"Ah, yes!" The client suddenly said, "Xiaoguang's voice is not quite the same as that of other cats, and the voice will change tone... Like this," he learned, "Meow~"

"Goo Meow~"

"That's right! It's like that..."

Several people were stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Where did the sound come from!? Ayumi, Motota, and Mitsuhiko looked around.

"Goo Meow~" Kaedehara learned again.

Conan looked at Kaedehara with a black line on his face.

“… Really, Kaedehara-san! Don't play pranks! ”

"Not a prank." Kaedehara said, "If you learn to scream like this, maybe you'll get a response?" ”

After a few moments, several elementary school students began to meow all the way.

When it was getting dark, they finally got a response when it was time for Conan to learn how to meow.

In a nearby second-story room, a cat poked its head out of the window on the first floor while meowing.

Then he jumped down and ran towards the crowd.

It's just that... The white kitten was covered in blood.

When the kitten came through the fence gate of the house, Conan picked the cat up and found that there were no wounds on the cat's body.

It must have been blood from somewhere else.

Thinking of this, Conan went straight over the fence gate, turned the trash can in the yard over, stepped on it and looked into the window, and his face changed instantly.

Kaedehara jumped up as well, braced his arms on the window edge, and followed Conan inside.

Dead person.

In the bathroom, a man was half-kneeling by the bath, his head dipped in water, blood everywhere.

Almost just by looking at it, you can tell that the man is dead and can't die anymore.

This is a murder scene.

Although there is also the possibility of suicide, considering that Conan is around, the probability that this is a murder scene is significantly greater. It's the first time Kaedehara has seen a murder scene, even if you count the days before the time travel.

However, it may be because he has seen a lot of this meeting in the memory of Kudo Shinichi, and Kaedehara is not the slightest uncomfortable.

In his ear, Conan shouted to a few elementary school students to get out of here, Kaedehara lagged behind, thought for a moment, and instead held the window edge with one hand, and then took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Click.

Call it a day.

Then meet with elementary school students.

At this time, Conan had already called the police.

The police arrived very quickly. It's the Twilight Police Department who is on duty, and they've seen it a few times. As soon as the Twilight Police Department got out of the car, he skillfully went straight to Conan.

"Did you call the police?"

"That's right, the police department!" Conan put his hands in his pockets, "We didn't see anyone coming in or out of this house after we found the body. That is, the body is still in the house! ”

"Good!" The Twilight Police Department nodded, and didn't talk nonsense, just led a group of subordinates to push open the gate and walked in, and then pressed the doorbell.

"We're the police! Open the door! ”

"What!? It's noisy! A middle-aged man in a bathrobe, draped in a bath towel, and wearing glasses opened the door, looking unhappy.

"I'm the Metropolitan Police Department," the Metropolitan Police Department pulled out their ID and showed it, "These kids reported that there was a body in the bathroom of your house..."

"Corpses!?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then said disdainfully, "Hmph, what nonsense, I just came out of the bathroom after taking a shower!" ”

"Look! It's the one at the end! If you don't believe me, go in and see for yourself! ”

The middle-aged man stepped out of the way, looking like he was checking casually.

The man's confident appearance made the Twilight Police Department hesitate. But it's all come to this point, and it's obviously impossible to just forget it. So the Twilight Police Department took the lead, and the young detectives followed, and everyone came to the bathroom that the man was referring to.

But there were no bodies inside. The bathroom was clean, like it had just been cleaned.

The body is gone.

"See for yourself! Where are the corpses? The middle-aged man also followed, "It must be this group of imps who are playing a prank..."

"Not really!"

"We didn't play pranks!" Conan retorted, "There was a man covered in blood who collapsed in the bathroom!" ”

"It must be uncle, you hid the dead!" Yuan Tai pointed directly at the middle-aged man's nose and said.

Elementary school students, you and I say a word, and the scene suddenly becomes chaotic.

The Twilight Police Department has a headache. He was impressed by the mischievous nature of the children during the last haunted house incident, but it helped solve an unsolved case five years ago, so the overall sense of the Twilight Police Department is not too bad for them.

What's more, the two children Conan and Doyle seem to be relatively reliable...

Thinking so, the Twilight Police Department noticed that the kid named Dole Edogawa, who was called Kaedehara by his companions, yawned.

"Hey, Kaedehara," Conan, who also noticed this, pulled Kaedehara, who had been silent, dissatisfied, "You saw that too, right?" ”

"See." Kaede Hara replied, "And..."

He paused, took out his phone from his pocket, and pressed it a few times, "I also took a few pictures." ”

“… Hey!? ”

The middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and the Dusk Police Department was greatly excited. The schoolchildren rejoiced, and Conan felt choked.

The Twilight Police Department hurriedly took the phone from Kaedehara's hand, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Except for the corpse and bloodstains, the bathroom in the photo is almost identical to this one.

"You, since you are suspicious, just search for it yourself!" The middle-aged man looked a little restless, "I'm going back to the second floor to sleep!" ”

"Wait a minute!" The Twilight Police Department shoved the phone directly into his pocket and stopped the middle-aged man, "It's better for you to stay in our field of vision!" ”

"Search for me! The body must still be in the house! Don't let go of every corner! ”

The middle-aged man's face turned pale all of a sudden.

Previously, the Twilight Police Department was also worried that it was a child's prank, so it was quite polite to do things. But with the photos as proof, of course things are different.

Even the most sluggish person can realize that the middle-aged man tried to make his way to the second floor, and there must be something else in it. Of course, the Twilight Police Department couldn't let him get his way.

Leaving the two police officers looking at the middle-aged man, the police department led the team straight to the second floor.

In one of the rooms, a man sits in a chair with his right hand against his head and watches television.

"How can there be one more?" Surprised, the Twilight Police Department stepped forward, "This gentleman? ”

No response.

"This gentleman!?"

The Twilight Police Department repeated.

The person in front of him was almost exactly dressed like the one downstairs, and with so many police officers and children coming in, this person didn't react at all, and there was no response when he called him a few times...

The Twilight Police Department stepped forward and patted the other man on the shoulder, trying to get his attention.

And then... And he found the body.

Colleagues from the forensic department rushed in, and the police department went downstairs with the cheering elementary school students. Although Kaedehara felt that the cheers of the elementary school students were not very suitable for the occasion... But he's just an ordinary detective in the Junior Detective Corps.

The group returned downstairs, and before the Dusk Police Department could speak, the middle-aged man downstairs began to kneel and confess.

It turned out that it was he who killed his brother, who looked very similar to himself, and after the body was found by the juvenile detective group, he cleaned up the body and made it look like he was watching TV, and then pretended to be his brother and went down to open the door to receive the police.

Originally, he also made some designs, so that he could find a chance to change back to his brother's identity, and at the same time pretend that his brother, who was made to watch TV, was still alive... As a result, I didn't expect that I had been stared at by the police all the time, and I had no way to make small movements.

So it was exposed all at once.

It's all to blame on that damn photo.

……

"You didn't tell me you took pictures sooner," Conan said depressedly on the way home, "Why I've been there for so long." ”

"That's not my problem." Kaedehara twirled the phone in his hand that had been sent back by the Dusk Police Department, "This is your problem. ”

Compared with getting along with the Kudo couple, this kind of "leisurely" case makes Kaedehara feel more comfortable.

But this is also the result of worse than bad.

After all, Kaede Yuan is not a detective, and he has no special pursuit of the case and the truth, and if he continues like this every day, he will still be... A little impatient.

So...

Where is his main line?

Kaedehara didn't know.

But at least in terms of wanting to get bigger, he and Kudo Shinichi are still in agreement.
