Chapter 32 32. The Disappearing Corpse
Author: Primular
The children had no idea what Brother Crow was thinking. They had their own interpretation, "Is Xiaoguang nearby?"
"But there is nothing here except the nearby villa!"
"That means Xiaoguang is in that villa!"
What... Edogawa Conan looked at the increasingly red sun that was gradually setting in the west, the deserted streets, and the circling crows that screamed sadly. It seemed more like a dead person than a cat.
"Xiaoguang! Xiaoguang!" the client called tentatively.
"Goo...meow"
"?" He felt as if he heard Xiao Guang's voice, "Xiao Guang! Is it you?"
The children looked towards the sound and actually saw the same white cat with a gray patch on the left side of its face just like in the photo.
But as Xiaoguang stuck his head out of the window and continued to move outwards, listening to the call of his little master, the children also saw the blood all over Xiaoguang's white fur.
Conan's first reaction was that someone was abusing the cat, and he rushed forward to check Xiaoguang's condition, but there were no wounds on Xiaoguang's body, so the blood came from outside.
He looked at the window where Xiaoguang came out. The elder brother seemed to have noticed something and flew to the window to stand.
Conan pushed the trash can next to the window towards the window and jumped up the window with the help of stepping objects. The children were also attracted by his actions and rushed to the window together. They were shocked to find that this thing had been poured into the bathroom.
There was a man with his head hanging motionless in the water in the bathtub. The room was covered with this man's blood.
It's obvious that this person is dead.
Conan turned to look at his eldest brother's brown eyes. Didn't he really lure them here because he knew there were corpses here?
But the top priority now is to call the police as soon as possible.
Due to the cleverness of Conan who had seen him at the scene many times, Officer Mumu did not arbitrarily think that this was a farce just because the person who was bailing out the case was a child. When he arrived at the scene of the crime, he saw the little boy in blue.
The boy was sitting cross-legged on top of the phone booth, holding a strong crow in his arms. When they saw him coming, they all lowered their heads and looked at him.
Accompanied by the reddish light of the setting sun, this picture is still a bit strange, and people can't help but generate some associations. Officer Memu shook his head and shook out some strange stories from his head.
Conan didn't seem to pay attention to Officer Megure's thoughts, and he wasn't worried that the officers would treat them badly because they were children. He just quickly explained that he could observe the front of the building very well while sitting on the phone booth.
, and he didn't see anyone coming in or out of the house after they found the body.
Therefore, the body is still inside. This is a serious murder case!
…
!!!
How could this happen? Conan couldn't believe what he saw. The room where they saw the body was now empty.
The most important thing is that the man with a bad attitude didn't seem to worry about them finding the body at all.
In fifteen minutes, he still had to clean the crime scene, leaving him little time to move the body. The body must be in this house. How could he be so confident?
The Young Detective Team and the police officers brought by Officer Megure were all on the move and began to search room by room for places where the body might be hidden.
"It won't be in the vase, Genta, the corpse we saw is as big as that."
"But maybe he dismembered the body! So he wasn't worried about the body being found."
"Brother didn't come to help either, but looking for a cat seems different from looking for a corpse."
Conan felt as if he heard some key words, and he seemed to have found a breakthrough, "Ayumi, what did you just say?"
"Is finding a cat different from finding a body?"
Before Ayumi could think about it, Conan continued to talk excitedly, and hurriedly turned around and ran outside, "Brother may be able to help us!"
Probably because it was not conducive for the elder brother to fly indoors, although the elder brother had been playing with Conan when they were waiting for the police, he did not come in when they entered the house. Conan ran out in a hurry, hoping that the elder brother was not because it was almost dark.
Just went home.
Seeing Conan walking in with a crow in his arms, Ayumi asked in confusion, "Can crows also smell corpses? Aren't only dogs with good noses?"
"No, crows are regarded as ominous in some folklore. It's because corpses also have a wide range of food options for them, so people often find groups of crows near corpses. Because of their rough voices and dark color, they
People who do not understand scientific knowledge will associate it with death." Mitsuhiko, who is knowledgeable and talented, will not miss such an opportunity to explain to girls.
"Yes, I think it should also be through smell. Quite a few wild animals have a more sensitive sense of smell than humans. Maybe big brother can find something strange." Conan began to carry his big brother around from room to room.
When the eldest brother saw this little blue person greeting him, he thought he was giving it a reward for looking for a cat, but he ended up running around with her in his arms. She was so impatient that she got out and flew to the kitchen, wanting to take a look here.
What food is there.
Seeing their eldest brother flying suddenly, the children were so excited that they discovered something for their eldest brother and hurriedly followed her to play.
Officer Memu saw a crow fluttering in the room, and the children were chasing it and running around, looking completely innocent and having fun. He began to wonder if the so-called corpse was a prank by these children.
Conan was a little disappointed when he saw his eldest brother running into the kitchen and starting to rummage around. It seemed that his eldest brother didn't understand what he meant. Forget it, it's better not to seek shortcuts. The corpse will not escape, and the truth cannot be easily concealed.
He will definitely be able to find the truth.
If the body is really not in this room, it can explain the source of the arrogant guy's confidence. Is there any unconventional entrance and exit? Just like the door that was opened in the wall when they explored the haunted house before? Or, is there a door in the wall?
What hidden space is enough to hide the body of an adult?
After a while, the house was almost searched, but no clues related to the murder were found, and there were no strange mezzanines in the house.
At this time, a man returned to this room. He called himself Tanaka Chishi. He was the owner of this house and worked in a securities company. The irritable man just now was his brother, a writer, but it seemed that his career was not going well.
Most of the time I just spend time at home.
As the man walked around, a leaf fell from between his trousers, which reminded Conan of the big tree behind the house. Could it be possible that, in a direction that he couldn't see, someone used the big tree behind the house to transport the body away? Then, while pretending that he had to go home from get off work as usual, just like the man who came in now, Conan was mentally perfecting the possibility of this reasoning.
I didn’t expect that this case would require me to write so many words. Originally I just wanted to write about the establishment of the Junior Detective Team and about the children having fun with Big Brother. After I finished writing it, there was no room for deletion. In the next chapter, I’ll see Big Brother show off his power.
, then I went out to travel and wrote my original White Day case, which was about lovers killing each other. If there is a third original case, I promise not to write about lovers.
Chapter completed!
