Chapter 125: The Body Not Found

Tuesday, May 7, afternoon.

When the four members of the Boy Detective Team were trying to find a cat for the Kamen Rider Super Gold Card, they found a male body in a bathtub of a family by the way. But when the Mumu Police Department arrived and went to the bathroom to check, the bloody body lying in the bathtub disappeared again.

The Megure Police Department thought that the body might be hidden, so they ordered the police to search it thoroughly.

"By the way, Megure Police Department," Conan said, "the cat is still stained with blood, take some off, that is the best evidence."

So, the Mumu Police Department ordered the subordinates to do this matter again, but soon after, the subordinates came to report that the cat had been cleaned after being brought home by Hiroki, and now there was no way to sample it. At the same time, there is no way to prove the situation at that time, because Haoshu washed it and no one else saw it. Now the most we can say is that the cat was once stained with blood.

At this time, outside the door, a middle-aged man in a brown suit approached the house, looked at the police car and the cordon at the door, and asked the police officer guarding the door: "Excuse me, is there something happening at my house?" something wrong?"

After asking his identity, he was the man's younger brother who also lived here, so the police took him into the house.

After entering the house, I saw the police officers rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home, no, the sky was turned upside down, the ceiling was lifted, and the tatami mats were also removed. The man in the suit exclaimed: "What the hell is going on, what's going on? "

"It's nothing," said Meguro Police Department, pressing Conan's head standing next to him, "These children said that a body was found in your home."

"Remains?" The man in the suit asked in surprise.

At this time, there was a noise from the next room, and Conan, Police Department Meguro, and the man in the suit went over to see that Yuan Taizheng was standing on the double-decker high chair he had built, with a cabinet on the right, and a pot on the right of the top of the cabinet, approaching The left side of Yuantai was empty, and there was a broken jar on the ground. Judging from the distance, it should have been picked up by him and dropped. What are you doing with that jar? Conan thought to himself, should it be hidden in the jar that can only be reached by hand.

Seeing that Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were looking through a big box each, Conan was speechless, what is he looking for, ten minutes is not enough for him to do this kind of thing, the body must still be intact.

After looking at the scene and understanding what happened, Mumu Police Department asked, "Why are you so careless?"

"Ah, it's not a big deal tea set." The man in the suit smiled.

At this time, a loud voice came from upstairs, "You are very noisy, can you be quieter?"

Walking to the stairs next to the entrance, the man in the suit asked, "Is Brother Heyu on the second floor now?"

"Yes." Megure Police Department said, "He seems quite angry." Then he asked, "May I ask, what kind of industry is your brother in?"

"My brother should be engaged in writing, so he usually spends more time at home." The man in the suit smiled, "By the way, this is my business card." He gave out a business card.

"Tomoshi Tanaka, oh, so you work in a securities company." Looking at the business card, Megure Police Department asked, "So, there are only two of you brothers in this family?"

"Yes," Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka said with a smile, "However, this house belongs to me, and my brother just lives with me." Then he followed the Megure police department to the room, and the Megure police department asked Go in and continue to host the search.

Um? Conan suddenly noticed that as Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka walked, a green object fell from the hem of his trouser legs. He stepped forward to pick it up and saw that it was a green leaf. It's strange, it's not yet the season of falling leaves, how can there be leaves on it, and the leaves are incomplete, and the leaves are also wrinkled, it doesn't look like it fell off naturally, I couldn't figure it out for a while, so Conan put it away .

Soon after, the police came to report one by one, but found nothing suspicious. No body was found, no suspected murder weapon was found, and no bloody wet bathrobe was found.

"Well, I have searched inside the eaves and under the bed, and now only your brother's room has not been searched," Mumu Police Department said, "Can you..."

"Okay," Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka smiled, "If my brother doesn't object, then it doesn't matter."

Take Megure Police Department, Conan and two policemen to the second floor, stood in front of the room where Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Yu lived, and knocked on the door. After calling "Brother", Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka turned the door handle and pushed The door went in.

In the room, the TV was on, and on a reclining chair with his back to the door, Mr. Tanaka and Yuyu, who was wearing a bathrobe, were sitting on it with his chin resting on his right hand.

He called out "Brother" again, and Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka walked over to have a look, then turned around and whispered, "It's okay, it seems to have fallen asleep."

Looking at the motionless Mr. Tanaka Kazuyu, the Megure Police Department said: "That's good." Then he took his subordinates in and searched lightly.

Concentrating on the search, when the search was almost finished, when he came back to his senses, Mu Mu Police Department suddenly felt that the light in the room had dimmed, so he opened half of the curtain opposite the reclining chair, and found that there was actually a tree under the window. It was quite a big tree, so he turned around and asked, "Which tree is..." Then he saw Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka, who had been standing behind the recliner with his back on the recliner, and was turning to look at his brother, afraid that he hadn't heard, so he asked He called again, "Mr. Tanaka?"

At this time, Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka said: "Really, if you want to sleep, you should turn off the TV."

"Crack!" The TV was immediately turned off by the remote control.

Seeing that the person who did not welcome the police was still awake, the Mumu Police Department immediately led people out, and Conan also backed out. Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka who came out said, "Fortunately, he doesn't seem to care."

Standing at the entrance, Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka asked: "Mr. Police, I think you should have searched everything, right?"

"There is no trace of the body at all." With his back to the gate, Mumu Police Department said to the four members of the detective team, "Kids..."

Head Yuantai said: "We really didn't lie."

Conan asked: "By the way, could the body have been moved outside?"

"But, Conan," Mumu Police Department asked back, "Didn't you say when we came here that you didn't see anyone walking out of this house?"

"Well, that's what I said at the time, but because I was sitting on the phone booth in front of the house, there was no way to see the back." Conan said, "So, I don't know if someone will come from behind. In and out."

The Mumu police department asked again: "But, there is a high wall behind this house?"

"But isn't there a tall tree next to the wall?" Conan asked back, "If you tie the body to your body and use that tree, can you go outside the wall?"

At this time, Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka, who was standing behind the detective team and facing the Megure Police Department, who was listening to the conversation, suddenly turned around and picked up the phone on the phone cabinet behind him, and said, "Yes, this is Tanaka's house. Yes. No, no Yes. Yes, yes. Goodbye." Then he hung up the phone and explained with a smile, "This is a wrong number." Then he asked with a smile, "By the way, what did you want to ask me just now?"

"The big tree under the window on the second floor." Mumu Police Department reminded.

"That tree," said Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka with a smile, "it was there when I bought this house." After saying that, he went out with Megure Police Department, who decided to let people try to climb it one time.

Looking at the phone, Conan thought, did the phone ring just now? But when he heard that the Mumu Police Department ordered the police to climb the tree, he temporarily put this question aside and went out to have a look.

A police officer tied another police officer around his body, and he climbed up the tree with all his strength, then clamped the trunk with his legs, and climbed up to the wall with his upper body.

Megure Police Department asked: "How is it?"

"No way," said the policeman, lying on the wall and looking down, "there is a dike for drainage outside the wall."

The Mumu police department asked again: "Is there any place to stand?"

"Yes, there is a path about 40 centimeters between the embankment and the wall," the policeman replied, "I'll try it." After speaking, the policeman leaned on the wall, moved his legs to the wall, Then let the legs go down first, sticking to the wall, and slowly slid onto the passage.

"How are you?" Mumu Police Department asked again, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay," the police officer said panting, "I can't turn around at all when I stand on it, but if I'm alone, I can walk."

The Mumu Police Department continued to ask: "That is to say, there is no way to leave with the body tied up, right?"

"Yes, Megure Police Department." The police officer replied.

The Mumu Police Department said: "Okay, come back."

"Okay," said the officer, "Huh? Well, I need help."

"Oh, sorry," Mumu Police Department ordered, "Go and pull them up."

"Megure Police Department," the policeman suddenly called out, "If you stick to the wall, it's okay to move sideways little by little."

"Oh, then just stand still," Mumu Police Department said quickly, "I'll come out and take a look."

The house is backed by a vertical waterway, and there is another family next to it horizontally, and then there is a horizontal street. The street is connected to the opposite side by a bridge over the waterway.

Going around to the back of the house, the Mumu Police Department found that there was a distance of about two meters between the back wall of the next house and the water embankment, and it was possible to walk around with the body tied up. The place where the police officer was standing at this time was only three meters away from here about. So he shouted: "Okay, you can come here now."

Holding on to the wall, the police officer slowly moved out, Mu Mu Police Department stepped forward and praised: "Very good, you did a good job."

Mr. Tanaka Zhishi asked: "However, what should I do after I come out like this? If I just carry it like this, as soon as I walk on the bridge, I will be spotted by passers-by? You know, the next bridge is hundreds of meters away. If so, there are people passing on this bridge all the time.”

Mitsuhiko said: "The width here can fit a car, as long as you park the car here, you can drive away immediately."

"If you doubt me," Mr. Tomoshi Tanaka laughed, "I don't have a driver's license, and I can't drive at all. And you see, there are no tire marks on this land."

"What about the water?" Yuan Tai said, "Just throw it into the water, and you can leave alone."

Tomoshi Tanaka replied: "There is no way to go down from here."

Conan asked: "The embankment is inclined. Is it possible to slide down and throw the body into the water? Or just let the body roll down like this?"

After thinking for a while, he squatted down and touched the water embankment, Mumu Police Department ordered: "Go and call the forensic personnel."

After a while, several forensic personnel came over, and one of them reported the results of the inspection of the bathroom to the Mumu Police Department. The results of the examination could not show what the detective team said, that there had been a bloody man lying in the bathtub.

"Really." Mumu Police Department said, "Look at this section of the embankment and see if you can find traces of someone slipping down or a body rolling down."

A short time later, forensics came to report that there were no such traces. The bottom is wet, and there is some moss in the lowest part that is often soaked in water. It is easy to identify whether there are traces or not.

"What else do you want to say now? There is no body in the house, nor has it been carried outside. And the murder weapon was not found in the house, and the blood-stained wet bathrobe you mentioned was not found either." Mu Police Department asked, "That is to say, you are lying and playing pranks, aren't you?"

"How could it be?" Ayumi said aggrievedly.

The Mumu Police Department said: "Okay, everyone, we can go back." Then he turned and walked to the car.

"Wait a minute, Meguro Police Department," Conan called, "We are really..."

"Hmph," Mumu Police Department turned back and said, "Just because you discovered the calculator incident last time, I believed you. I was so naive." After speaking, he got into the car and led the team to leave. ...
