Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

It seems that there is no way to avoid this wave.

……

The five people came to Rice Flower Park and reunited with the little boy who entrusted them.

Under the temptation of the rare gold card, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta all work extra hard to find the lost cat.

However, it is not easy to find a cat in such a big Beika Town.

Several people asked the police, went to the pet store, and even searched the trash can on the roadside, but still found no trace of the cat.

"Damn it, I can't find it anywhere." Yuan Tai wiped the sweat from his face, looking a little dejected.

"Could it have run off to someone else's house?" Ayumi kept jumping, looking over the fence at the house next door. "Besides, we still don't know what habits or characteristics Xiaoguang (the lost cat) has."

The boy thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Guang's meow is a little different from other cats. The sound changes into a different pitch, like this [Gu——Meow]."

Just as he finished speaking, a meow was heard from not far away.

Gu——meow——

The cat-losing boy's eyes lit up: "It's Xiaoguang's cry."

"It's that family." Ayumi pointed to the yard opposite and said, "The sound came from over there."

The children immediately ran towards the yard gate.

A little head popped out from the window.

The boy who lost the cat waved excitedly: "Xiao Guang."

The cat meowed and jumped down gracefully.

However, the faces of the children present changed drastically.

The cat was covered in blood.

Conan quickly ran over and hugged the cat, saying, "Such a serious injury, it needs to be taken to the hospital immediately... Huh?"

He suddenly paused.

Ayumi: "What's wrong, Conan?"

Conan said solemnly, "The cat has no injuries. So, something must have happened in that house, such as..."

He didn't say anything else, but quickly climbed over the iron gate and ran towards the window from which the cat had just come out.

The rest of the children followed immediately.

The window was much taller than he was, so Conan brought a bucket from the yard, turned it upside down on the ground, stepped on it, stood on tiptoe, grabbed the window sill with his hands, and looked inside.

"Conan, let me see too."

"Is there something in there?"

Mitsuhiko and the other two were curious and twisted their bodies to step on the barrel. After seeing the scene inside, they immediately showed expressions of horror and screamed.

"Ahhhh-"

"Hurry, call the police." Conan reacted quickly, jumped off the bucket and ran to the phone booth outside.

Watanabe Toru stepped onto the bucket calmly and took a look inside.

A man was kneeling on the bathroom floor with his head in a full bathtub, blood all over the floor.

Through several key events, Toru Watanabe has already understood what kind of incident this is. If it develops according to the original plot, it will take a lot of time and energy.

After a brief pause, Watanabe Toru took out his cell phone, took a few photos of the body, and then jumped down.

……

Five minutes later, three police cars pulled up to the side of the road with sirens blaring.

Inspector Megure got out of the car first, glanced at the young detectives standing in front of the yard, and asked, "Were you the ones who called the police?"

"Yes, yes." Mitsuhiko said nervously, the fear on his face had not completely faded.

Inspector Megure's face was solemn, even a little suspicious: "Did someone really die?"

"Officer, that's absolutely correct." Conan changed his previous listlessness when it came to a murder case and said seriously, "After we found the body, we didn't see anyone entering or leaving the house. That means the body is still inside."

Inspector Megure nodded: "Then let's go in and search."

He walked into the yard and rang the doorbell: "We are the police, open the door quickly!!"

After waiting for a long time, the door was finally opened.

A middle-aged man (Wang Zhaohao) wearing a bathrobe and glasses came out of the house. He frowned and said unkindly, "What's going on? It's so noisy."

Inspector Megure pointed to the children around him and said, "These children said they saw a dead body in the mansion."

"Corpse?" The man was stunned.

"That's right, a man died in the bathroom."

"He's covered in blood."

"We all saw it."

The young detectives talked a lot.

The man snorted coldly: "What nonsense! I just came out of the bathroom. There's no body there. Look, the bathroom is at the end of the corridor."

"In that case, let's search it." Inspector Megure said in a deep voice.

Since both parties have their own opinions, why not go to the bathroom and see for yourself, and you will know the truth.

"Hey... hello..."

The man tried to stop him, but Inspector Megure had already walked in and headed towards the bathroom.

128. Yuantai: Why am I the only one who got hurt?

The Young Detectives stared at the clean, spotless bathroom with their eyes widened.

Conan looked incredulous and muttered to himself, "How could this be... How could this be possible... Just now..."

"See, officer? There's no body at all." The man stood behind Officer Megure, his tone somewhat impatient. "These little brats must be playing a prank."

"We're not playing a prank," Mitsuhiko retorted. "Just now, there was a man covered in blood lying in the bathroom."

"That's right, we all saw it." Yuan Tai agreed loudly, pointing at the man in the bathrobe and said, "Uncle, it must be you who hid the dead body."

"what?"

"Genta is right, there was indeed a body in the bathroom just now." At this time, Watanabe Toru suddenly interrupted: "I have evidence."

For a moment, everyone looked at Toru Watanabe. Under the sneer, suspicion and expectation, Toru Watanabe took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album and handed it to Inspector Megure.

"Officer, here are the pictures I took of the body."

The man in the bathrobe, who was fearless just a second ago, suddenly changed his expression after hearing Watanabe Toru's words.

Conan looked at Watanabe Toru with a look of astonishment.

When did this guy take the photo?

Inspector Megure took the phone from Watanabe Toru and after looking at the photos, his expression suddenly became solemn and serious.

He showed the photo to the man and asked, "Sir, could you please explain what is in this photo?"

"Ah...this...this..."

A drop of cold sweat ran down the man's cheek. He forced himself to calm down and look for a way to solve the dilemma.

But Watanabe Toru didn't give him this opportunity at all. He just wanted to finish work early and go home early.

"You must have disposed of the body before the police arrived, but we've been keeping an eye on this house all this time, and we're certain the body is still here. Officer Megure, I suggest we search the entire house."

Officer Megure nodded and immediately ordered his subordinates: "You guys go in and search. Remember to check every room carefully and don't miss any."

"Yes!"

The man's fists clenched and unclenched, and then clenched again.

Finally, he let out a wail of pain and knelt dejectedly on the ground.

"No need to search. The body is in my brother's room on the second floor." The man pounded the floor angrily. "He used to be the brother I respected the most, but he actually used evidence of my illegal stock trading to threaten me! He just eats and drinks all day at home and doesn't do any work. This is not the brother I used to be. I just want the brother I used to have back!"

……

After the murderer was taken away, Inspector Megure praised Watanabe Toru with a kind and friendly look on his face: "Well done, Toru. If you hadn't taken the photo, the murderer wouldn't have confessed so quickly. You are worthy of being Mori's student."

Then he looked at the other people and said, "You guys are pretty good too. It's thanks to you that we found the body this time."

After receiving praise from Inspector Megure, Ayumi and the other two scratched their heads a little embarrassedly.

Yuan Tai took the opportunity to promote: "We are the Junior Detective Team. If you have any trouble, you can always come to us."

Boy Detective Team?

Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized that these children were playing a detective game.

He nodded and encouraged, "Then please do your best."

After saying that, he got into the police car.

After Inspector Megure left, Watanabe Toru stretched his arms and legs and said lazily, "Well, it's about time we go back."

"Watanabe." Conan said suddenly.

"Hmm?" Watanabe Toru looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​taking pictures of corpses?" he asked curiously.

In his opinion, after seeing the corpse, Toru Watanabe's reaction should be the same as Ayumi and the others, fear and terror... In short, it is absolutely impossible for him to take a picture of the corpse so calmly.

Watanabe Toru said calmly, "Uncle Maori told me that when you encounter a murder, you must first take pictures of the scene. This is to prevent the scene from being destroyed."

That confused uncle has this kind of awareness?

Conan was a little surprised: "Weren't you scared at that time?"

"Afraid?" Watanabe Toru asked back, "Why should I be afraid? I want to be an excellent detective in the future. Besides, aren't you afraid too?"

Conan was speechless and said with a dry laugh: "Because I want to be a policeman in the future."

Watanabe Toru said "Oh" with little interest.

"By the way, I heard that Uncle Maori solved a murder case on Koito Island?" Conan asked again: "You were there at the time, right? Can you tell me the details?"

He was surprised to see Kogoro Mouri in the newspaper again that day.

What's going on with this uncle recently? He solves cases so frequently that if he didn't firmly believe in science, one would suspect that he is possessed by an alien creature.

Fearing that Watanabe Toru might become suspicious, Conan added, "You know, as someone who aspires to become a police officer in the future, I'm very interested in all the cases."

Watanabe Toru glanced at him and said calmly, "When the uncle solved the case, I was sleeping in the room, so I don't know any details at all."

Conan: "..."

"Xiao Che, which card do you like?"

Ayumi and the other two came over. They had just divided the rare gold cards, and there were two left, which were reserved for Watanabe Toru and Conan.

Watanabe Toru had no interest in these things and said casually, "Ayumi, I'll give you mine."

"Ah? Really?" Ayumi's little face blossomed with ecstasy.

Mitsuhiko and Genta looked jealous.

Conan was also indifferent to the card and said with a smile: "Ayumi, I'll give you mine too."

Mitsuhiko Genta is jealous*2

"This……"

Ayumi, who should have been even more delighted, suddenly hesitated. She secretly glanced at Watanabe Toru, shook her head and said, "Conan, thank you, but I can't accept your card."

Conan: ? ?

What? Is my card poisonous?

He scratched his head in confusion and said, "Then give it to Mitsuhiko."

Mitsuhiko's breathing became rapid: "Really, Conan? Are you really willing to give me your card?"
