Conan Rick's Investigator

And the water stains on the floor extend all the way to the second floor.

However, just when Qin Zhibo wanted to apply to go to the second floor for investigation, Inspector Megure stopped him.

Inspector Megure thought that the owner of the house had a bad temper, so it would be better not to search the second floor where he was for the time being. He should search the first floor thoroughly before going up to the second floor.

Otherwise, if he really got angry, all these police officers without a search warrant would be kicked out.

"Brother Qin, don't be anxious. We need to handle cases step by step."

"Anyway, the front yard of the house is guarded by police, and the backyard is a dike. If there is a body, there is no way he can get it out."

This is how Inspector Megure persuaded Qin Zhibo, but Qin Zhibo certainly cannot use the same words to persuade Conan.

Because Qin Zhibo is now more anxious than Conan. After all, it involves a side quest that must be completed within a limited time and a corpse that can be touched to gain skills.

"By the way, how did you find out there was a body here?"

When asked by Qin Zhibo, Conan recounted the process of how he and his friends discovered the body.

Qin Zhibo heard a highlight in Conan's confession.

"Wait a minute, you said there was blood on the cat named Akira."

"Then why didn't you leave the cat as evidence of a dead body?"

"Wouldn't that allow the police to get a search warrant?"

After Qin Zhibo's reminder, Conan felt like he had been enlightened.

Yes! Why didn't I leave the bloody cat for Inspector Megure to see?

"Uh..." Conan was a little speechless about his own miscalculation, but still said: "It should still be in time to make amends now."

"All we have to do is find Hiroki's house and borrow Akira."

"It doesn't matter if the blood on Akira is washed off. We can just ask Hiroki's family to testify that there was blood on the cat."

Conan's logical mind immediately sorted out a chain of relationships to remedy the situation, but it was immediately denied by Qin Zhibo.

According to Conan's idea, with all this going back and forth, the mission time limit of one hour has already been exceeded.

Just then, a policeman's voice came from the corridor.

"Inspector Megure, his brother is back."

Qin Zhibo and Conan looked at each other, turned and walked out of the room.

In the corridor, a man in a brown suit stood upright, his face showing confusion about the presence of so many police officers in his home.

However, Qin Zhibo was even more confused about his appearance.

Because above this man's head, his personal information is clearly floating.

Name: Chishi Tanaka...

Qin Zhibo clearly remembered the grumpy "brother" who had just received a group of police officers in a bathrobe.

The name on the head is also Tomofumi Tanaka!

……

At this time, Tomofumi Tanaka was showing off his acting skills in front of the many police officers in the room.

"What the hell is going on!"

"what's up?"

"What happened in my family?"

Tomofumi Tanaka looked around at a loss, and Inspector Megure could only explain with a little embarrassment that the children reported that there was a dead body in his house, so the police came to search it casually.

Just a random search = turning your house upside down.

However, Tomofumi Tanaka was not angry, because he knew that he had to show two completely different personalities from his "brother" just now.

The gentle younger brother and the grumpy older brother.

The greater the difference in personality, the more the voice will change due to different emotions, so that no one will notice that the older brother and the younger brother are actually the same person.

However, according to Tomofumi Tanaka's original script, he should have stayed outside for a longer time and then returned home as his younger brother.

In this way, the police's image of him as a disguised brother can be somewhat dispelled, which will be more conducive to his appearance.

But the detective who came out of nowhere came up with a dirty trick of using luminol reagent, which made Tomofumi Tanaka always worried that the police would take advantage of the fact that there was no one at home and secretly use luminol reagent to test the bathroom.

So after taking a short walk outside, Tomofumi Tanaka hurried home.

After returning home, Tomofumi Tanaka secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the police search was still at the warrantless stage and that the police had not yet gone up to the second floor.

This shows that the police still have professional ethics and will not conduct secret tests without a search warrant.

The image of a hot-tempered big brother he created successfully intimidated the police, making them afraid to go up to the second floor to search.

Tomofumi Tanaka: Now it’s my turn to perform!

When I was in college, I was an outstanding member of the school drama club. I still have the props I used in college plays, which is why I had the idea to disguise myself as my brother to deal with the police search.

Playing two roles is no problem for me at all!

Just as Tomofumi Tanaka was cheering himself up in his heart, a voice sounded behind him.

"what?"

"Aren't you the grumpy old man in the bathrobe from earlier?"

Chapter 29 This system... is quite reasonable...

"Brother, didn't you go upstairs to rest just now?"

"When did you come back from outside?"

Qin Zhibo looked at his brother who had just returned from outside with confusion, and at the same time asked a series of questions, which immediately attracted the attention of Inspector Megure and Conan next to him.

"Brother Qin, what are you talking about?"

"He just came back from outside..."

Inspector Megure then remembered that he had never asked for the personal information of the grumpy old man or the younger brother in front of him.

"Excuse me, what's your name?"

"My name is……"

Although Tomofumi Tanaka tried his best to calm his surprised expression, his pounding heart made it impossible for him to speak in a steady tone.

Tomofumi Tanaka looked at Inspector Megure in front of him, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the detective standing behind him.

Did the detective see through my disguise?

Did he see through it?

I think should not be?

Do you see through it?

no……

In an extremely nervous mood, Tomofumi Tanaka didn't even dare to introduce himself, but took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Inspector Megure.

"Tanaka Tomofumi, do you work at a securities company?"

"So, are you and your brother the only ones living in this house?"

While Inspector Megure was asking questions, Tomofumi Tanaka tried to calm down and said, "Yes, the house is usually occupied by the two of us brothers."

"But this house belongs to me. My brother is just staying here temporarily."

Inspector Megure nodded. "Excuse me, what kind of business does your brother work in?"

Tanaka Tomofumi glanced at Qin Zhibo who was standing behind him, "He and You are writing articles, but they usually spend more time at home."

When he heard the name He You, Qin Zhibo's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Tanaka Kazuyuki was the author of the novel "God of the Sea" that he was looking for, and he was also the older brother of the two brothers.

From the moment he entered the house, Qin Zhibo thought that the grumpy old man in a bathrobe matched the information above his head, and he was Tomofumi Tanaka.

But Qin Zhibo didn't expect that it was actually Tanaka Tomofumi who was playing his brother Tanaka Kazuyuki.

If Inspector Megure had asked the grumpy old man's name at that time, Qin Zhibo would have seen the flaw at a glance and exposed his brother's disguise on the spot.

But now, Tomofumi Tanaka has restored his original appearance, and Qin Zhibo certainly cannot pull off the fake beard or something like that from his face.

There is no evidence to prove that the younger brother in front of him is the same person as the older brother who opened the door to greet the police.

Even if people say now that they look very similar, except for a pair of glasses and a mustache, this is understandable, after all, they are brothers.

However, Qin Zhibo still doesn’t know what Tanaka Tomofumi, who plays two roles, is up to.

Is he planning to pin the blame of the murder on his brother?

……

On Tanaka Tomofumi's side, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the detective no longer said those words that frightened him.

It must be because he and his brother look so much alike that the detective made a mistake at first sight, which is why he said those words.

Tomofumi Tanaka comforted himself in this way.

But then again, this detective has already caused a huge obstacle to Tanaka Tomofumi's plan.

Without the detective, the police would never have thought of using luminol to test the bathroom.

If there were no detective, the police would not have doubted what he said when he was disguised as his brother.

If there hadn't been a detective, I wouldn't have been so frightened just now.

This tricky detective...

Tomofumi Tanaka weighed the enemy's intelligence level in his mind and released the finger that was pressing the replay button on the phone in his pocket.

In order to further create the illusion that there were two living people in the house, Tomofumi Tanaka also recorded himself imitating his brother's roar on the answering machine.

In this way, as long as he used his mobile phone to redial the home landline, his brother's roaring voice would be heard, making the police more convinced that there was a living person upstairs.

But now, Tomofumi Tanaka has decided to give up this trick.

There is a difference between a telephone speaker and the human voice.

If this detective could hear the difference, then his cleverness would backfire.

Now, Tomofumi Tanaka just wants to get rid of these annoying police, detectives and kids as soon as possible.

"By the way, we've already searched the rooms on the first floor."

"Now we're only missing the second floor where your brother is. Can we go up there and search?"

"As long as my brother doesn't object, it doesn't matter..."

Just as Tomofumi Tanaka walked up the stairs to the second floor, a leaf floated down from the bend under Tanaka's trouser leg and was picked up by Conan who was walking behind him.

Looking at the leaf, Conan's mind analyzed another possibility.

This is a case of murder by brothers.

The older brother was responsible for dealing with the police, and the younger brother was responsible for carrying the body.

Although he monitored the front yard of the house, he had no idea what was happening in the backyard.

After making up his mind, Conan raised the leaf and wanted to show it to Qin Zhibo, which was also a clue for Qin Zhibo.

But when he turned around and looked around, Qin Zhibo was no longer there.

……

On the second floor, Tomofumi Tanaka knocked on the door twice tentatively.

"elder brother?"

"We're in."

The TV in the room was on, and Tomofumi Tanaka tiptoed to the grumpy old man posing on the recliner to check.

It's completely cooled, very good.
