On the other side, Mouri Kogoro, Hattori Heiji Edogawa Conan and others were still searching for clues on the second floor of the warehouse, the room where Takeda Shinichi's body was located.
"...The deceased was killed first and then hung up, making the appearance of being hanged..."
"The same goes for the threads surrounding the body."
"The question is, how did the murderer escape from this room?" Hattori Heiji and Mouri Kogoro discussed.
Edogawa Conan silently raised his head and looked at the window above.
He seems...
Xiaolan's voice was heard.
"Did you find something wrong with that window?" Hattori Heiji squatted down and whispered to the elementary school student.
"I seemed to hear Ran's voice, and Kazuya's." Edogawa Conan said with a deep expression.
"The two of them should have fallen asleep in the room by now." Mouri Kogoro said nonchalantly.
"Why does that brat Tsushima go to bed so early? He is a detective." Mouri Kogoro said again.
"Tsushima..." Hattori Heiji touched the back of his head and didn't know what to say.
He originally wanted to drag Tsushima Shuji to stay with Takeda Shinichi with them, but in the end...
Recall the two bodyguards of the other party.
"Sorry, our young master should go to bed."
"Sorry, our young master's physical condition is not suitable for staying up late with you to investigate."
No matter how gentle and polite your smile is, you will still be merciless if you refuse.
And Tsushima Shuji...
Hattori Heiji always felt that the other party was a little absent-minded, or...
As if thinking about other things.
Then I remembered the photo I had dropped on the ground and seen.
Hattori Heiji touched his chin.
"Do you think Tsushima...has a brother?" He leaned in front of Edogawa Conan and asked in a low voice.
"How do you know? Could it be..." Edogawa Conan looked surprised.
Could it be that Hattori also saw the man in white clothes who looked very similar to Shujima Tsushima?
"Because you borrowed a phone from Tsushima before. When he gave the phone to you, a photo accidentally fell out, and then, I saw it." Hattori Heiji recalled and explained.
"There are two Tsushimas on it, exactly like the two dolls Mr. Takeda made."
"What do you think? If they are both Tsushima...how could the two of them appear in the same photo at the same time? And with that kind of similarity...it is only possible that they are brothers, right?" Hattori Heiji guessed.
Edogawa Conan fell into thinking.
The photo Hattori saw was probably the one Takeda Shinichi mentioned before, but he was too worried about Xiaolan's safety at the time and was only busy talking to the other party on the phone and didn't see it.
As for the brothers...
Edogawa Conan remembered the question he had asked his mother last time about whether Tsushima Shuji had any brothers.
The answer is...
have no idea.
"When we met Xiuzhi in the United States, he was taken by his uncle. He would occasionally stay with Sharon. Of course, he would also sometimes stay with your Uncle Kuroba."
"At that time, there had been a fire in Tsushima's house. Shuji's parents were both burned to death. If he had a brother..."
"According to case records from that year, no body belonging to the child was found at the fire scene."
"And Shuji has never mentioned his other relatives to anyone else." Kudo Yukiko said with a sigh.
Edogawa Conan still remembers the emotion in his mother's words at that time.
With a helpless lament and regret.
Edogawa Conan was about to say something, but his expression changed.
"Someone is coming." Hattori Heiji and Mouri Kogoro's expressions also changed, and the three of them held their breath and hid.
The footsteps are getting closer.
Those heavy footsteps did not belong to Mao Lilan or Toyama Kazuye.
"Who could be coming here at this time?" Mouri Kogoro whispered.
"If you don't know who it is..." Hattori Heiji smiled.
"Catch him and see who he is." He said and rushed out.
He collided head-on with Miss Shiotani, the maid who was carrying food.
The two looked at each other.
Mouri Kogoro and Edogawa Conan were also stunned.
"I was worried that you would be hungry, so I brought food here..." Miss Shiotani explained.
"Let's put it this way, I'm really hungry..." Mouri Kogoro looked at the rice balls and touched his stomach.
So everyone sat on the stairs and ate rice balls.
By the way, I chatted with Miss Shiotani.
I learned from Miss Shiotani that Takeda Shinichi had an unpleasant experience with his wife, Sundai, before her death.
And he asked Mrs. Juandai: "You actually lied to me for twenty years."
Not long after that, Mrs. Kandai and Miss Misa were hanged in the warehouse one after another.
The three of them listened thoughtfully.
The next moment, there was another burst of footsteps.
Edogawa Conan suddenly looked up.
Only Mao Lilan, whose hair was still dripping with water, appeared in front of them.
He was holding a wooden box in his hand.
"Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?" Edogawa Conan quickly ran over.
"Xiaolan..." Mouri Kogoro was dumbfounded.
"Heye...heye is gone." Mao Lilan wiped the water droplets on her face, maybe it was tears.
"It's all my fault..."
"By the way, a man said that she was knocked unconscious and taken away."
"You guys quickly find a way to save He Ye..." Mao Lilan sounded anxious.
"Man? What man? Who is it?" Hattori Heiji asked hurriedly.
"I don't know...I don't know him." Mao Lilan lowered her eyes.
"He is wearing a white suit and coat, and has black hair like Tsushima-kun..."
"And... he seems to know Tsushima-kun."
"That's why I told Ye and I were knocked unconscious and taken away," she explained.
"That man even asked me to bring something to Tsushima-kun."
"Where is Tsushima-kun..." Mao Lilan asked.
However, Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan had already run towards Tsushima Shuji's room.
Edogawa Conan's face is full of seriousness.
That man...
The man who might be a brother to Tsushima...
Appear here...
What on earth is it for?!
"Bang bang bang——"
"Open the door——"
Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan knocked on Tsushima Shuji's door.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?"
The blond bodyguard came to open the door and asked with a frown.
"Tsushima brother——" Edogawa Conan squeezed over and shouted.
But he saw another black-haired bodyguard sitting on the ground, looking towards him.
There was no sign of Shuji Tsushima around.
He is not in the room.
Edogawa Conan realized this fact.
"Brother Tsushima, where is he?" he asked in a child's tone.
"Master Shuji said he was going to have some fresh air and ordered us not to follow him." The blond bodyguard Toru Amuro said helplessly, spreading his hands.
"Where are the two puppets?" Edogawa Conan asked.
Those two puppets were originally supposed to be in the same room as Shuji Tsushima.
Why……
Are they missing?
"Master Shuji said he wanted to take them with him to enjoy the breeze..." the black-haired bodyguard Midorikawa Mu explained.
