Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Search
"!!?"
After Police Officer Megure opened the door of the bathroom, what the two of them saw was a very normal bathroom.
It can be seen that there are still some water marks on the floor of the bathroom, and several water basins are also piled on the ground. Everything is so normal.
As for the corpse that Conan and others mentioned, there was no shadow at all, and the bathtub was clean, not even a trace of blood.
"It's gone..."
"The corpse disappeared!?"
"How could this be? It's impossible!!"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Conan's expression changed drastically, as if he couldn't believe it.
A mature adult who has seen the corpse with his own eyes. He is sure that he must have seen the corpse before, and Genta and others who also saw the corpse can also prove it.
But at this moment, there was no dead body in this bathroom at all, not even a trace of blood was found in the bathroom.
On the contrary, the bathroom is still full of the smell of shampoo and shower gel after bathing, which echoes what the room owner said before.
"Look, Didn't I say, how can there be any corpses!?"
A middle-aged man in a bathrobe came over, looked down at the four little devils in front of him, and said with a worried expression: "If it's a prank, you guys have gone too far!"
"We won't make fun of this kind of thing!" Conan retorted: "There was indeed a man covered in blood who fell in the bathroom before!"
"Hmph! Maybe it's this uncle who hid the corpse!!" Genta pointed at the middle-aged man and said loudly.
"Yes, that's it!!" Ayumi looked at Police Officer Megure and echoed: "He must have noticed us, and then hid the body while we were not in the house!!"
"From the time we received the report call to here, it took about fifteen minutes on the road."
Senichi looked at the phantom mechanical watch on his wrist and said, "This time is plenty enough to clean up the crime scene !"
"ha?"
The middle-aged man turned around and walked towards the second floor with an angry look on his face, "Since you are so suspicious, then let you search as much as you want. I'm going back to the second floor to sleep!"
"Is it okay? Just let us search casually like this?" Officer Meguro said embarrassedly.
"Don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, there is nothing shady in my house, and if you want to ask anything, just ask my brother, anyway, he will be back soon!!"
The middle-aged man in a bathrobe gave a cold snort of disdain, looked at the crowd and said sarcastically, "And I don't care about you guys, stupid policemen who are so stupid to take kid's pranks seriously!!"
"Hahaha!!!"
With a disgusting laugh, the middle-aged man walked up to the second floor.
"Search carefully!!! The corpse is definitely still in the house!!"
Seemingly enraged by the other party, Police Officer Megure said aggressively: "I will definitely find the corpse!!"
And just as the police searched extensively, the younger brother that the middle-aged man said came back.
He and his elder brother seem to be twins, but the two people's dresses are indeed completely different. He has no beard on his face, while his elder brother has a thick beard on his face and wears glasses.
Similarly, the two seem to be completely different in personality. The younger brother looks more normal and not so irritable at all.
"That... I'm sorry..." The man looked at Police Officer Megure and asked, "May I ask what's going on?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, these children said that they saw a corpse in the house..." At this point, Police Officer Megure gave Conan a strange look, "Huh? Why are you the only one left, Conan-kun? Where are the other three children?"
"Just, they were still here just now..." Conan also looked at a loss.
"It seems they also wanted to find clues and went over there. " Senichi pointed to the storage room next to him.
"Hey, hey... No way..." Conan hurried over when he heard what he said.
But when Conan ran to the storage room, he found that Mitsuhiko was sitting on the table reading a book, and Ayumi was playing with a little rabbit toy.
Seeing Conan running over in a panic, Ayumi greeted her happily.
"Why did you make the room such a mess?" Officer Megure asked anxiously after seeing the scene in front of him.
After all, it's in someone else's house, even if it's a search, it's a bit too much.
Senichi looked around the room and found that there were a lot of sundries and toys in the room. It looked like a storage room.
"We are helping to find clues." Mitsuhiko looked innocent.
"After all, we are an excellent young detective team!!" The two of them took out the detective badge Conan gave them and showed it to Senichi and the two adults.
"You also say, Genta!" Ayumi turned her head to look at Genta who was standing on a chair, as it seemed that Genta did not participate in the display of the badge.
But the sudden question made Genta stunned. As the brat among the brats, Genta was the most reckless one, but just in such an interruption, the vase he was going to grab slipped and fell to the ground.
"Clap!!"
The vase was shattered. Looking at the vase on the ground, Genta knew that he had caused trouble. He looked uneasy, "Oh no..."
"It's okay...it's not a very expensive item..."
The middle-aged man on the side comforted him kindly. His personality looked completely different from that of the irritable old man. Even though the brat Genta broke his own vase, he didn't get too angry.
"It's so noisy, can you guys be quiet!!!"
At this moment, my brother's violent roar came from upstairs, which shocked everyone downstairs.
"Is my brother on the second floor?" The middle-aged man raised his head and asked.
"Well, he just said he was going to go to bed, but he seemed very angry..." Police Officer Megure nodded and said, and then asked, "Umm... May I ask what line of work your Brother does?"
"Ah, he's a freelance writer. You know, this line of work requires a relatively quiet environment...so he has a bad temper..." The younger brother said shyly.
While speaking, he also sent his business card to the two police officers. Senichi took the business card and glanced at it. The man's name was Tomofumi Tanaka, and he worked in a securities company.
During the conversation, the search had unknowingly come to an end, leaving only the brother's room.
"If my brother doesn't care, I don't have any problems..." Tomofumi Tanaka led everyone to the other brother's room.
"Big brother?"
Tomofumi Tanaka knocked on the door but no one responded. He opened the door directly and asked, "Can I come in?"
The TV in the room was showing the season championship finals of professional baseball, and the man in the bathrobe was on the recliner in front of the TV with his right hand on his face as if he was asleep.
Tomofumi Tanaka walked over to take a look, and then whispered: "It's okay, come in, my brother seems to be asleep."
Police Officer Megure and Senichi entered the room, but the place was clearly empty, and there were not even many things left, let alone corpses.
