Chapter 62 Brothers
Everyone had been searching for half an hour without any results, and Yuantai suddenly became impatient.
"Hey, we've been looking for a long time. Can you give us those Kamen Rider cards?"
"No, we have to find Akira."
The fat little boy was a little unhappy.
Akira is his cat.
"Yuanta, don't give up halfway." Ze Yu interrupted, "You can't get the reward if you don't complete the commission."
"But..." Yuan Tai frowned in annoyance: "We don't even know where the cat is!"
"Then everyone follow me, I know where it is." Ze Yu's attitude became a little more serious.
He didn't wait for anyone's response and walked directly in a certain direction on the street.
Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
After walking for a while, Ze Yu stopped in front of a house.
Ayumi blinked and asked, "Sawaha, is Akira here?"
Ze Yu looked at the iron gate in front of him that was more than two meters high and said, "Why don't you call it and you'll know?"
“Akira——”
The little fat boy called out loudly.
"Meow………"
A cat's meow was heard in the room.
A cat with gray spots on a white background jumped out of the window and ran towards everyone.
"what!"
Except for Ze Yu, everyone was frightened by the cat.
Because the cat's body was covered in blood.
"Is it injured? Save it!"
The little fat boy looked nervous.
Ze Yu just took a look and said calmly: "It's not injured, that's not its blood."
"What? Could it be..."
Conan's expression gradually became serious. He climbed over the iron gate in front of him without hesitation and rushed into the yard.
The other companions quickly followed.
In the end, only Ze Yu was left in the entire Young Detective Team. He looked at the useless iron gate in silence.
A group of primary school students can easily flip over an iron gate that is more than two meters high?
So what is the significance of this iron gate?
The fat boy held Akira, who was covered in blood, and wanted to slip away, apparently wanting to go home and give the cat a bath.
Ze Yu quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, something might have gone wrong here, and this cat is the best evidence. You can't leave for now."
"Ah? But..."
The little fat boy frowned in annoyance.
"Feel sorry."
Ze Yu's tone left no room for doubt.
"………All right."
The little fat man nodded helplessly.
At the same time, screams were heard from the yard.
A few friends climbed over the iron gate again and escaped, with looks of fear on their faces.
"Someone is dead in the toilet in the house!"
Ayumi spoke intermittently, breathing heavily.
"Conan, call the police immediately."
Ze Yu looked at the nearby telephone booth.
"understood!"
…………
More than ten minutes later.
Inspector Megure rushed to the scene with a group of police officers.
"Were you the ones who found the body, Conan?"
"Well, that's absolutely true."
Conan sat on the telephone booth and looked at the house.
"I've been watching here the whole time. No one has left since we found the body."
Ze Yu took Akira from the little boy's arms and held it in front of Inspector Megure: "This is the cat. It just slipped out of the toilet in this house."
Seeing the blood on Akira's body, Officer Megure subconsciously suspected: "Could it be that it is injured?" Officer Megure took the cat, carefully examined it, sniffed its nose, frowned and said: "No, it is not injured, and the blood on its body is very fresh, it was just touched 20 minutes ago at most."
"Something is definitely wrong."
Inspector Megure rang the doorbell.
The middle-aged man who opened the door was a little impatient, but when he saw clearly that the person who opened the door was Inspector Megure, he seemed a little nervous.
He fixed his gaze on Akira who was held in the arms of Inspector Megure, and his pupils shrank.
"I'm Officer Megure. These kids said they found a body in your house."
"Right in the bathtub!"
"How is that possible?" The man regained his composure in an instant and snorted, "I was taking a shower in the bathroom before, how could someone die in there?"
Ze Yu sniffed it, tilted his head and asked, "As soon as I came in, I smelled a stench of blood. Did you not clean it up?"
Conan sniffed hard, a little confused.
“I can’t seem to smell anything…”
"nonsense."
Ze Yu said lightly.
If Conan's sense of smell could be as sensitive as Sawawa's, he would not be limited to the island country, but would be the world's top detective.
Inspector Megure led everyone to the door of the toilet and opened the sliding door.
However, he did not find anything unusual.
The murderer cleaned up the crime scene very quickly, leaving no traces behind. There was even almost no smell of blood in the air.
Only Ze Yu could smell such a faint scent. As for others, they couldn't smell it at all.
"How could it be...the body is missing!"
Conan looked at the empty toilet and gritted his teeth in anger.
"I told you, is there any problem?"
The man's tone was uncomfortable.
"These little devils must be playing a prank!"
"…Who are you calling the little devil?"
Ze Yu raised his head, smiling gently, and just looked at him.
When Ze Yu looked at him, the man got goosebumps all over his body and couldn't help but take a step back.
For some reason, after seeing Ze Yu's eyes, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, as if the person standing in front of him was not a seven-year-old elementary school student, but a dangerous beast.
After he came to his senses, he realized that he was actually scared away by a little kid, so he became even more angry.
"Damn it, you little..."
"Ok?"
Ze Yu's smile became gentler.
The man stopped talking and turned to go up the stairs.
Seeing this, Inspector Megure shouted, "Everyone search! The body must be hidden in some corner of this house!"
Many policemen immediately became busy and started searching.
…………
Half an hour later.
They had searched the entire first floor of the house, but found nothing.
At this time, the door opened and a man walked in.
This man looked somewhat similar to the man who opened the door before, but he seemed younger. He should be the other man's younger brother.
"Excuse me...officers, what did you do in my home?" the man said with some embarrassment.
"We received calls from these children saying that there might be a dead body hidden in your house." Inspector Megure said, touching Conan's head.
"That's impossible. There are only my brother and I in my family. There is no one else." The man looked embarrassed.
"this is my name card."
He held out a business card.
Officer Megure glanced at the name on the business card: "Tanaka Tomofumi."
The man named 'Tanaka Tomofumi' nodded.
"The search of the first floor has been completed. Everyone go upstairs and continue searching." said Officer Megure.
Everyone came to the second floor.
Ze Yu suddenly looked at Tanaka Tomofumi beside him and said meaningfully: "Compared to other unimportant places, can we go to your brother's room first?"
Tomofumi Tanaka's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "Of course."
