  "!!?"

When Officer Megure opened the bathroom door, it was a normal bathroom in front of them.

You can see some water stains on the bathroom floor, and several basins are piled on the ground. Everything is so normal.

As for the corpse that Conan and others were talking about, there was no shadow at all, and the bathtub was clean without even a trace of blood.

"Gone..."

"The body disappeared!?"

"How could this happen? This is impossible!!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, Conan's expression changed drastically, and he looked like he couldn't believe it.

As a mature adult who has seen the corpse with his own eyes, he is sure that he has definitely seen the corpse before, and Yuantai and others who also saw the corpse can also prove it.

But at this moment, there was no body at all in this bathroom, and it was so clean that no trace of blood was found.

On the contrary, the bathroom is still filled with the smell of shampoo and shower gel, which complements what the owner of the room said before.

"Look, let me tell you, there are no corpses!?"

A middle-aged man in a bathrobe came over, looked down at the four kiddies in front of him and said with a worried expression: "If it's a prank, you guys have gone too far!"

"We wouldn't prank something like this!" Conan retorted: "There was indeed a man covered in blood who fell in the bathroom before!"

"Hmph! Maybe you hid the body, uncle!!" Yuantai said loudly, pointing at the middle-aged man.

"Yes, that's it!!" Ayumi looked at Officer Megure and echoed: "He must have noticed us, and then hid the body while we didn't enter the house!!"

"It took about fifteen minutes from the time we received the call to get here."

Tang Ze looked at the transformed mechanical watch on his wrist and said: "This period of time is already sufficient, enough to clean up the crime scene!"

"what?"

The middle-aged man looked angry when he heard this, turned around and walked towards the second floor, "Since you are so suspicious, let you search it all, I will go back to the second floor to sleep!"

"Is it okay? Just let us search at will?" Officer Megure said embarrassedly.

"I don't do anything bad, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and there's nothing shameful in my house. Besides, if you want to ask anything, just ask my brother. He'll be back soon anyway!!"

The middle-aged man in a bathrobe snorted disdainfully, looked at everyone and said sarcastically: "And I don't care about stupid policemen like you who are stupid enough to take the kid's prank seriously!!"

"Hahaha!!!"

With an annoying laugh, the middle-aged man walked up to the second floor.

"Search carefully for me!!! The body is definitely still in the house!!"

Seemingly irritated by the other party, Officer Megure said angrily: "I must find the body!!"

And just as the police were conducting a massive search, the brother the middle-aged man said came back.

The other person's appearance and his brother seemed to be twins, but their appearance was indeed completely different. He had no beard on his face, while the other brother had a thick beard on his lips and wore glasses.

Likewise, the two seem to be completely different in terms of personality. The younger brother seems much more normal and not so irritable at all.

"Um...I'm sorry..." The man looked at Officer Megure and asked, "Excuse me, what is going on?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, these kids said that a body was found in the house..." At this point, Officer Megure looked at Conan strangely, "Huh? Why are you the only one left, Conan-kun? There are three other kids. What?"    "Just, you were here just now..." Conan also looked confused.

"It seemed like I was looking for clues just now, so I went over there." Tangze pointed to the storage room next to him.

"Hey...no way..." Conan heard what he was saying and ran over in a hurry.

When Conan ran to the utility room, he found Mitsuhiko sitting on the table reading a book, while Fu Mei was playing with a bunny toy.

Seeing Conan running over in a panic, Ayumi greeted him happily.

"Why did you leave the room in such a mess?" Officer Megure followed and asked anxiously when he saw the scene in front of him.

After all, this is someone else's home, so even searching is a bit excessive.

Tangze looked around the room and found that there were a lot of sundries and toys in the room. It looked like it was a utility room.

"We are helping to find clues." Mitsuhiko looked innocent.

"After all, we are an excellent young detective team!!" As they said this, the two of them took out the detective badges Conan gave them and showed them to the two adults, Karasawa.

"You said so, Genta!" It seemed that because Genta did not participate in the display of the badge, Ayumi turned to look at Genta, who was standing on a chair.

But the sudden question made Yuantai stunned. As a naughty child, Yuantai was the most reckless and reckless one. But just like this, the vase he wanted to take slipped and fell to the ground.

"Crack!!"

The vase was shattered to pieces. Yuanta looked at the vase on the ground and knew that he was in trouble. He looked uneasy and said, "It's terrible..."

"It's okay...it's not a very valuable item..."

The middle-aged man on the side comforted her kindly. His personality looked completely different from the irritable old man. Even though Yuantai, a naughty boy, broke his own vase, he was not too angry.

“It’s so noisy, can you guys please be quiet!!!”

At this moment, his brother's furious roar came from upstairs, shocking everyone downstairs.

"Is my brother on the second floor?" the middle-aged man raised his head and asked.

"Well, he just said he wanted to go to bed, but he seemed very angry..." Officer Memu nodded, and then asked: "Um...what line of work does your brother do?"

"Ah, he is a freelance writer. As you know, this line of work requires a quieter environment...so he has a bad temper..." the younger brother said sheepishly.

While talking, he also gave his business card to Officer Megure. Karasawa took the business card and took a look. The man's name was Tanaka Tomoshi and he worked at a securities company.

While the champion was talking, the search was coming to an end unknowingly, and only the other person's brother's room was left.

"If my brother doesn't care, I don't have any problem..." Tanaka Chishi led everyone to the other brother's room.

"elder brother?"

Tanaka Chishi 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 playing the professional baseball season championship finals, and the man in a bathrobe rested his face on the recliner in front of the TV with his right hand, as if he was asleep.

Tanaka Chishi walked over and took a look quietly, then whispered: "It's okay, come in, my brother seems to be asleep."

Officer Megure and Karasawa entered the room, but the place was clearly empty. There were not even many items placed, let alone corpses.
