Detective Conan: The White Organization

Chapter 75

Although the door lock of Shida's house is one of the more popular anti-theft locks in the world, for people like Xiao Yu, opening the lock should not be too easy.

"Hey, why are you so skilled?" Conan watched as Xiao Yu opened the door of Shida's house easily, and black lines appeared on his forehead.

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes: "I'll beat you to death, you Baijia."

Conan: "..."

The furnishings in the house are very modern, and there are also some interesting Japanese-style decorations. However, after all, Xiao Yu and Conan did not come in to comment on the furnishings in other people's homes, but to inspect the scene.

However, after a long time, both of them were a little frustrated: "What a ghost, there is nothing. It doesn't feel like a person is missing in this house, but like a husband and wife living a sweet life."

.”

Yes, Xiao Yu and Conan walked around. The room was not too tidy, nor was it too messy. It only had the ordinary atmosphere of life, and it was obviously tidied up frequently.

Come on, the hostess has been missing for a week, and the house doesn't have that depressing feeling.

We all know that a person's psychological state will affect a person's behavioral habits, and the psychological state has the greatest impact on a person's living environment.

When a person is mentally healthy, he will take the initiative to tidy up the uncomfortable areas in the house so as to achieve a state consistent with his inner state, but not vice versa.

If you look inside this house, you will see the most ordinary atmosphere of life everywhere. This is the most extraordinary thing.

The wife of the owner of the house, Shida Unobu, was pregnant and missing for a week. Logically speaking, the owner of the house was in a very bad mood. Even if he tidied up the house at this time, he would only do a hasty cleaning. As for some of the furnishings that affected his mood, they were not important at all.

Will take care of it.

At this time, the situation in the house was that either Shida Hanao didn't care about the life or death of Sarina and his child, or... the people living here were not the Shidas at all.

"This thing is really getting more and more interesting." Xiao Yu smiled, but the flashing light in his eyes fully exposed Xiao Yu's eagerness to try.

I haven't encountered such an interesting thing for a long time.

Conan glanced at Xiao Yu and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Yes, the mother of the missing person has a weird attitude, and the crime scene is full of weirdness. The truth behind this case is exposed, I'm afraid it will surprise us."

Yes, this matter was full of weirdness from the beginning.

Sarina's mother, Amamiya Maki, has a very weird attitude.

On the surface, Amamiya Maki is indeed a mother who is worried about her daughter's safety. Because there has been no movement from the police, she seeks the help of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro from Tokyo. This is understandable in itself.

But then, during the conversation, Amamiya Maki revealed her weird attitude.

The first is to protect Ha Nao Shida.

In this situation, the mother-in-law suspected that her son-in-law had attacked her daughter. This was actually the most normal thing in the world. Even with multiple testimonies, the mother-in-law still had reason to doubt her son-in-law, and Amamiya Asaki herself said so.

, after the daughter got married, the contact between the two parties has actually decreased, and the situation where the son-in-law and the mother-in-law have a good relationship does not exist.

So the question arises, why did Amamiya Asaki protect Shida Hanao when Kogoro Mori suggested that he might be a suspect?

The second point is that at the end of the conversation, Amamiya Maki asked Mori Kogoro about the cost of the investigation.

According to Amamiya Maki's concern for her daughter at the beginning, this middle-aged woman still wants to find the person even if she sells it, and money is not an issue at all.

Unless Amamiya Maki was not really looking for Sarina at all, and asked Mouri Kogoro to investigate, but actually had other intentions and was worried that the investigation cost would be too high and exceed her planned cost, otherwise there would be no such incident.

This is the weirdness shown by Amamiya Maki. In fact, without these two points, even Xiao Yu would have no doubt about her and just think that she is a mother who is worried about her daughter.

Now coupled with the strange current situation of Shida Residence, if Xiao Yu and Conan still can't see that there is a ghost behind it, they can die.

Doubts remain doubts, and the investigation must continue. After all, the ultimate goal is to find the missing Sarina.

There were no clues in the house. Xiao Yu and Conan both turned their attention to other places. There was a wooden storage room in the yard of Shida House. Some clues might be found here.

However, as soon as they opened the storage room, a puff of dust hit their faces, causing the two of them to choke and cough.

"Let me go, this place hasn't been opened for hundreds of years, and the dust has almost turned into a desert." Xiao Yu couldn't help complaining.

Xiao Yu was fine, but Conan was choked with tears and runny nose.

However, even so, there was still no harvest in the storage room, which made the two of them very disappointed.

"Okay, I came here for nothing today. This place... is a little too clean." Xiao Yu said somewhat conspiratorially.

He was a little unwilling. After the incident, the police should have searched the scene. It is impossible that there was nothing left at the scene. If there was something, the police would definitely order Shida Yushang not to damage the scene, or even block the scene, but...

No, this means that the police did not find anything here. In fact, what Xiao Yu and the others see now are exactly the same as what the police saw at that time.

This place... was cleaned... and the things that happened here were eliminated.

But the whole thing doesn't make sense logically?

Shaking his head, without the help of more clues and evidence, Xiao Yu decided not to make random guesses, lest he enter into a certain misunderstanding first and then go further and further down the wrong road.

"Hey, forget it, let's find a way to investigate from other angles. It seems like nothing will be gained here." Conan sighed. Although he was disappointed, he was also very decisive so as not to waste time.

Xiao Yu nodded, that was all he could do now.

However, just when the two of them reached the edge of the yard and were about to climb over the wall, Xiao Yu suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Seeing Xiao Yu's movements, Conan immediately looked over excitedly. He knew Xiao Yu's magic. Maybe this guy found some clues!

Xiao Yu waved his hand to silence Conan, wrinkled his nose and sniffed carefully. Although the smell he suddenly smelled just now was weak, Xiao Yu was sure that he definitely smelled that unusual smell.

Following the corner of the wall, Xiao Yu kept smelling the source of the smell, and finally found his target in one place.

The smell was so slight that even Xiao Yu's sense of smell almost missed it, let alone ordinary people being able to detect the abnormality here.

"This is...No. 4..." Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

"No. 4...No. 4?" Conan didn't realize what the name was at first, but then he realized it.

What's No. 4? This thing has a common name, it's called white powder. As for the scientific name, you already know it without me telling you, right?

"Well, there is No. 4 here. Although it is a very trace amount, it does exist. However, the amount is too small. I cannot tell the purity of this No. 4. However, it is estimated that it should be high-purity No. 4." Xiao Yu used it from the ground.

He rubbed it with his fingers and looked at the little white particles stuck to his fingers.

“Masaka…”

Xiao Yu smiled: "Ah, it seems that this case is far from being as simple as a disappearance case as we thought. It involves No. 4. The inside story behind this case is probably much more complicated than we imagined.

"

…

After leaving Shida's house, Xiao Yu and Conan never mentioned the discovery of No. 4. After all, it is difficult to explain how two elementary school students could distinguish extremely small amounts of No. 4 from the ground. This is even a professional method of the police.

It takes a lot of time to do it.

Although both Maori and his daughter are doubting the identities of Xiao Yu and Conan, being suspected and seeking death are two different concepts.

Therefore, Xiao Yu and Conan only relayed the photos taken in Shida's house and what they saw and heard to Kogoro Mori, and said nothing else.

Mouri Kogoro scratched his head while holding a cigarette in his mouth: "Damn it, isn't there no clue?"

Xiao Yu and Conan both shrugged, who could say otherwise.

Next, Xiao Yu and the others accompanied Mouri Kogoro to visit the nearby neighbors, trying to get some information. Although not much was useful, they learned more or less some information about the Shidas.

Shida Hanao is a working family, and outsiders don't know what kind of job he does. He works nine to five and is very busy every day. After Sarina and Shida Hanao got married, they resigned from their original interior designers.

work and concentrate on being a full-time wife.

The relationship between the two is very good, and they rarely quarrel. Even if they do, they quickly reconcile. They can be called a model couple in the neighborhood.

Sarina is not the only housewife in the neighborhood, but she is the most lovable housewife. She never talks nonsense and is very friendly no matter who she treats. She is highly regarded in the circle of housewives around her.

However, Xiao Yu got some information that concerned him from the neighbor's words.

"After Sarina and Mr. Shida became pregnant, the time we saw each other began to decrease. Especially during the period before Sarina disappeared, we almost never saw them again." This is what a housewife said unintentionally.

of.

Xiao Yu felt a little strange, he rarely saw her... Even if she was pregnant, she wouldn't stop going out, right?

And didn’t the neighbors testify to the police that they saw Sarina going out to buy something at a convenience store the day before the incident? Does that prove that Sarina at least had to go out?

When Xiao Yu raised this question, the housewife was a little confused: "I can't say for sure. When I saw Sarina, she had a big belly and was talking and laughing with us. However, at that time,

A strange thing happened. Sarina didn't seem to want to talk to us at that time, so she went back in a hurry. She must have been emotionally uneasy because of her pregnancy."

Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed, really... is this true?
