Conan's other self

Dr. Ali still likes to eat junk food after all. So after trying "cooking rehabilitation" for a few days, the Ali family resumed their daily routine of eating takeout.

Feng Yuan also ushered in the day of school again.

"Conan! Maplehara! Have you finished the things you promised to give us before the holiday?"

During the break, Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko came over.

"What is it?" Conan asked.

He actually knows what it is. But since he was tricked last time, his desire to trick others has increased these days.

"Hey! Have you forgotten the promise you made that day!?"

"How can I remember what happened so long ago..."

"Here I am."

Maplehara stood up, took out a paper bag from the drawer, and placed it on Conan's desk.

Conan, who was interrupted from casting a spell, looked at Maplehara speechlessly. He also wanted to tease these little devils.

Inside the bag are several small badges made by Dr. Ali. They not only contain ultra-small radio receivers, but also come with a transmitter, which allows the person wearing the badge to communicate remotely. It is very suitable for primary school students to play detective games.

Ayumi and others' eyes immediately focused on the badge, forgetting about Conan forgetting his promise.

The shape of the badge is very handsome. On the left side of the front is the shape of Sherlock Holmes, and in the middle is the English word "Junior Detective Team" engraved.

The kids love it.

In this way, with the preparations completed, the Junior Detective Corps, consisting of teenagers, detectives and regiments, was established.

Ayumi and others were so happy and excited that they even sneaked into the school's broadcast room to promote the Young Detective Team.

pity…

Until school was over, they had only received one request to find a cat.

The cat's name is Xiaoguang.

Although they felt that a commission like finding a cat was a bit pricey, since the reward was the Masked Superman card that Ayumi and the others wanted, the group set off anyway.

In fact, before the detective team was established, they had already looked for kittens and puppies several times, and they were quite familiar with it. They just walked around with photos and asked questions. As for the techniques involved, they are actually similar to Conan’s method of finding the black organization, that is...

Try your luck.

after a while.

"Damn it! I can't find it anywhere..."

"It's strange. He just disappeared yesterday, so he should still be nearby..." Mitsuhiko said.

"Hey! We worked so hard to find him, so you should give us the card, right?" Yuantai said angrily to the client, a primary school boy of the same grade.

"No! I won't give it to you until I find it!"

"So... does that cat have any habits or characteristics?" Conan asked.

"Ah, that's right!" The client suddenly realized, "Xiao Guang's meow is different from other cats, the sound will change the tone... like this," he imitated, "Goo meow~"

"Goo meow~"

"Yes! Just like that..."

Several people were stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Where did the sound come from!?" Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko looked around.

"Goo meow~" Feng Yuan imitated again.

Conan looked at Fengyuan with a dark look on his face.

"...Really, Maplehara-san! Stop playing pranks!"

"It's not a prank." Fengyuan said, "If you learn to call like this, maybe you will get a response?"

After a while, several primary school students began to meow all the way.

When it was getting dark and it was Conan's turn to meow like a cat, they finally got a response.

In a two-story house next to it, a cat meowed and poked its head out of the first-floor window.

Then he jumped down and ran towards the crowd.

It's just...the white kitten was covered in blood.

When the kitten passed through the fence door of the house and came to him, Conan picked up the cat and found that there were no wounds on the cat's body.

It must have been blood from somewhere else.

Thinking of this, Conan climbed over the fence gate, turned over the trash can in the yard, stepped on it and looked into the window, his expression changed instantly.

Fengyuan also jumped up, resting his arms on the window sill, and followed Conan to look inside.

dead.

In the bathroom, a man was half-kneeling by the bathtub, his head immersed in the water, and there was blood everywhere.

Almost just by looking at him you could tell that this man was beyond dead.

This is a murder scene.

Although there is a possibility of suicide, considering that Conan is around, the probability that this is a homicide scene is obviously higher. This was the first time that Feng Yuan saw a murder scene, even counting the days before time travel.

However, perhaps because Kudo Shinichi had seen this scene so many times in his memory, Maplehara did not feel any discomfort at all.

In his ears, Conan shouted to several elementary school students to leave here quickly. Fengyuan lagged a little behind. After thinking about it, he held the window edge with one hand and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Click.

knock off.

Then meet up with the elementary school students.

By this time Conan had already called the police.

The police arrived quickly. The one who was on duty was the Megu Police Department, and they had met him a few times. Memu Police Department expertly walked straight to Conan as soon as he got off the car.

"Did you call the police?"

"That's right, police department!" Conan put his hands in his pockets, "After we found the body, we didn't see anyone entering or leaving the house. In other words, the body is still in the house!"

"Okay!" The Mumu Police Department nodded, and without any nonsense, he led a group of subordinates to push open the gate and walked in, then pressed the doorbell.

"We are the police! Open the door!"

"What are you doing!? It's so noisy!" A middle-aged man wearing a bathrobe, towel, and glasses opened the door with an unhappy look on his face.

"I am the Megure Police Department of the Metropolitan Police Department," the Megure Police Department took out his ID and showed it, "These children reported that there was a corpse in the bathroom of your house..."

"Corpse!?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then said disdainfully, "Huh, that's nonsense. I just came out of the bathroom!"

"Look! It's the one at the end! If you don't believe it, go in and see for yourself!"

The middle-aged man stepped out of the way and looked like he was conducting a casual inspection.

The man's confident look made the Megu Police Department hesitate. But now that we have reached this point, it is obviously impossible to just let it go. So the Megure Police Department took the lead, followed by the young detective team, and everyone came to the bathroom that the man pointed to.

But there was no body inside. The bathroom was clean, like it had just been cleaned.

The body is gone.

"See for yourself! Where are the corpses?" The middle-aged man also followed, "It must be these kids playing a prank..."

"Not at all!"

"We are not playing pranks!" Conan retorted, "There was a man covered in blood who fell in the bathroom just now!"

"Uncle, you must have hidden the dead person!" Yuantai said unhappily, pointing directly at the middle-aged man's nose.

The primary school students said something to each other, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

The Mumu Police Department has a headache. He was deeply impressed by the mischief of this group of children during the last haunted house incident, but that incident helped solve an unsolved case five years ago, so the overall impression of the Mumu Police Department on them was not too bad.

Besides, Conan and Doyle seem to be relatively reliable...

Thinking of this, the Megure Police Department noticed that the child named Edogawa Doyle, but was called Maplehara by his companions, yawned.

"Hey, Fengyuan," Conan, who also noticed this, pulled Fengyuan, who had remained silent, dissatisfied, "You saw it too, right?"

"I saw it." Feng Yuan responded, "And..."

He paused, took out his cell phone from his pocket, pressed a few times, "I also took a few photos."

"…Huh!?"

The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed, and the police department was greatly excited. The elementary school students were happy again, but Conan felt like he was being choked.

Megure Police Department quickly took the phone from Feng Yuan, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

The bathroom in the photo was almost identical to this one, except for the body and the blood.

"Since you are suspicious, you might as well search it yourself!" The middle-aged man looked a little restless, "I'm going back to the second floor to sleep!"

"Wait a minute!" Police Department Memu put the phone directly back into his pocket and stopped the middle-aged man. "It's better for you to stay within our sight range!"

"Search for me! The body must still be in the house! No corners are allowed to be spared!"

The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned pale.

Previously, the Memu Police Department was also worried that it was a prank by a child, so they acted in a polite manner. But with photos as evidence, things are of course different.

Even the most obtuse person can realize that there must be something fishy about the middle-aged man trying to get to the second floor. Of course, the Mumu Police Department couldn't let him get what he wanted.

Two police officers were left looking at the middle-aged man, and the Mumu Police Department led the team straight to the second floor.

In one of the rooms, a man was sitting on a chair watching TV with his right hand on his head.

"Why is there another person?" Memu Police Department was a little surprised and walked forward, "This gentleman?"

no respond.

"This gentleman!?"

The Memu Police Department repeated it again.

The person in front of me was dressed almost exactly the same as the person downstairs, and with so many police officers and children coming in, this person actually didn’t react at all. Even after calling him several times, there was no response...

The Memu Police Department stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder, trying to attract his attention.

And then...he found the body.

Colleagues from the forensic department filed in, and the police department went downstairs with the cheering primary school students. Although Maplehara felt that the cheers of the elementary school students did not suit the occasion...but he was just an ordinary little detective in the boy detective team.

The group of people returned downstairs, and before the Memu Police Department could speak, the middle-aged man downstairs began to kneel down and repent.

It turned out that he was the one who killed his brother who looked very similar to himself. After the body was discovered by the Youth Detective Team, he cleaned the body and made it look like he was watching TV. Then he pretended to be his brother and went down to open the door to receive the police.

Originally, he had made some designs that would allow him to find an opportunity to change into his younger brother's identity, and at the same time pretend that his older brother, who was made to look like he was watching TV, was still alive...but he didn't expect that he would be watched by the police all the time and unable to perform small actions.

So it was exposed all at once.

It's all that damn photo.

…

"You didn't tell me earlier that you were taking pictures," Conan said depressedly on the way home, "You made me talk there for so long."

"This is not my problem." Fengyuan turned the cell phone sent back by the Memu Police Department in his hand, "This is your problem."

Compared to getting along with Kudo and his wife, this kind of "leisurely" case made Maplehara feel more comfortable.

But this is also a worse result.

After all, Fengyuan is not a detective, and he has no special pursuit of cases and the truth. If this continues every day, he will still be...a little impatient.

so…

Where is his main line?

Fengyuan doesn't know.

But at least he and Kudo Shinichi are consistent in wanting to grow bigger.
