The world of science is unscientific

"What the hell is going on...please have mercy on me," Kogoro Mori said, now that he was out, he could complain freely. "Why do we have to go around looking for customers who should come to us on their own?"

"What does it matter? We have nothing better to do anyway," Ran Mouri comforted her father. "I really hope this heavy rain stops soon."

"By the way, Conan, you're going hiking tomorrow, right?"

This time, Yusuke Suzuki wasn't at the back, but at the front, listening to the conversation while keeping an eye on his surroundings.

"Teacher, Xiaolan, it looks like we've arrived."

“Really!” Ran Mouri quickly went to find the mailbox. “Mr. Kusukawa’s room is number 202.”

When Kogoro Mouri went upstairs, he was stunned. "No way, noon is long gone, and he's still the same as always. He's so unreliable."

Yusuke Suzuki, who arrived shortly after, glanced at the note on the door, which said he would be back before noon.

Wait, this mark...

Yusuke Suzuki noticed the wet stains next to the note.

"Is that the mark from Heiji's hat?"

He said, "Heiji was probably leaning against the door at the time, which means he had been waiting for quite a long time."

Then he squatted down again, "There are similar marks here, about the same height as Conan's. They must be marks left by Heiji when he squatted down and leaned against the door."

"It seems that Heiji not only waited a long time, but he was getting impatient. The fact that the note is still here means that Kusukawa really hasn't come back."

At this moment, Conan also noticed the tape stuck to the lower right corner of the door, which was used to determine if anyone had sneaked into the house while he was away.

It's reasonable for Mr. Nanchuan, as a detective, to do something like this.

The tape has been detached for some time, indicating that someone has been inside the house.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a lock turning above his head, and then the door was pulled open.

It's Yusuke Suzuki.

"Wait, Yusuke-nii..."

Ran Mouri tried to stop him, but Yusuke Suzuki had already opened the door.

Conan, who had made way for him, rushed in immediately.

“There are no signs that the door lock has been pried open,” Kogoro Mori said as he followed him inside. “There are also no signs that the room has been searched. He probably just forgot to lock the door. That’s probably why the tape came off.”

After hearing this brief speculation, Yusuke Suzuki suddenly seemed dazed.

Whenever Kogoro Mouri encounters a case, he always tries to think in a positive direction first. Could this be a kind of attitude?

He was actually trying to prove the goodness of humanity every time, but he failed every time?

amazing!

Yusuke Suzuki felt that he had gained another insight.

"Huh? What's this?"

"what happened?"

“Come and take a look,” Conan said, standing on a chair. “There seems to have been something on the table before, and then someone rubbed it with a pencil.”

Yusuke Suzuki took a closer look and realized that this was a trick he used to play as a child.

His gaze swept across the table, where there was a notebook and a pencil.

He tore off the top sheet of paper from the notebook, held it up to the light, and saw that there were indeed traces on it.

The traces match perfectly.

Then, he placed the paper on the table, picked up a pencil, and rubbed it at an angle. The pencil powder quickly restored the writing on it.

[Xianqiao Town, Ito Family Residence]

There are traces of numbers below, which should be phone numbers, but they are unclear and unrecognizable.

“It seems Heiji and Kazuha went there.” Suzuki Yusuke handed the paper to Mouri Kogoro.

Conan jumped off the chair. "Why don't we go over there and take a look? We can find out the address by asking at the police station."

Should I go to the police station and ask?

They'll tell you if you ask them?

This kind of private information...

Well, if Conan and Kogoro Mouri were to ask, there shouldn't be any obstacles.

Sure enough, I got the answer as soon as I asked.

The next step was to search door-to-door.

They found the fifth one in a row.

The woman who opened the door spoke very gently, but she was a bit plump. I felt that if she lost weight, she would look more like Judy. She was also holding a Siamese cat in her arms.

Moreover, she is a lawyer, and Ran Mouri recognized her immediately.

So much interaction?

It seems this is the place.

Yusuke Suzuki held his breath and listened carefully; there was movement coming from the attic of the room.

This is kidnapping Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama!?

That's unlikely...

He sized up the lawyer, Ito, who seemed unlikely to be able to subdue the two men; he must have had accomplices.

After chatting with Ran Mouri, Misari Ito pointed out a new location to them, saying it was rather suspicious.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Yusuke Suzuki didn't have the patience to drag things out any longer, but he still needed to confirm how many people were inside and what weapons they were carrying.

Let's leave first, and come back after the woman goes inside.

After watching Kogoro Mouri and his group leave, Misari Ito carried her cat back into the house.

She went up to the second floor, brought out a ladder, and slowly climbed up the pitch-black attic.

"I need to make my friends here understand what position they are currently on, and understand it very thoroughly."

Her tone was cold, and right in front of her were Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, who were tied together.

"Hey, what happened here?" Seeing the scars on Blackie's face, she mocked, "Don't ruin such a handsome face."

"This kid tried to make a scene to call for help, so I had to teach him a lesson." The man squatting next to Hattori Heiji sneered.

Just as Misari Ito was about to press Blackie a little further, the doorbell rang downstairs again.

Hattori Heiji was overjoyed. Sure enough, both Yusuke and Kudo could sense that something was wrong!

Misari Ito hurriedly went downstairs again, muttering to herself, "Really, why are there so many guests visiting today?"

She looked through the peephole and saw a handsome face.

It's the person who was following Kogoro Mouri just now.

As soon as she opened the door, a blur flashed before her eyes, followed by a heavy blow to the back of her neck, causing her to lose consciousness.

Yusuke Suzuki reached out to support her; the woman probably weighed 200 pounds, as she was quite heavy.

He gently placed it on the ground and then walked upstairs.

Chapter 312 Putting Some Pressure on Blackie

He took two steps and then stopped.

"Brother Yusuke, aren't you going a bit too far?"

Outside the door, Conan's big head poked in, his voice low. He really hadn't expected Suzuki Yusuke to take down this lawyer auntie so easily.

“Something’s definitely not right in the attic,” Yusuke Suzuki turned around and ripped off Conan’s ribbon. “Let’s wait outside.”

"But......"

"Please stop the teacher and Xiaolan for me."

Conan pouted, and seeing that he couldn't stop it, he had no choice but to nod.

My friend has never done anything illegal or disorderly, so his decisive action now must mean he's absolutely certain of success.

Speaking of which, the uncle should be here soon, so let's close the door first.

Conan struggled to move into the house, clinging to Misari Ito's leg, and then closed the door.

Inside, Suzuki Yusuke had already tiptoed upstairs. The Siamese cat had tried to meow earlier, but it quieted down after being glared at.

As for the attic... it's here.

Yusuke Suzuki looked up to confirm that the support rod in the corner was probably the tool used to open the attic floorboards.

To get to that height, you would definitely need a ladder, but that's for ordinary people; Suzuki Yusuke doesn't need one.

After figuring out the layout of the house, he quietly returned to the entrance hall, this time letting his footsteps show.

He also imitated Misari Ito's voice.

"Someone come down and help me."

The two guards in the attic, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, exchanged a glance and walked towards the cover at the attic entrance.

The dark-skinned man behind them felt a sudden unease.

Someone knocked on the door just now, and it was probably either Kudo or Yusuke. Could it be that one of them has been arrested as well?

If we're being reasonable, it's likely that Kudo was arrested...

From this perspective, it seems there's still hope for them.

It's just a question of when his overpowered brother Yusuke will be able to come and rescue them.

Damn it... how could I have fallen for that woman's trick?

At the top of the stairs on the second floor, Yusuke Suzuki listened to the sounds coming from the attic. He was certain that there were two people there, and he was not wrong about that.
