There is actually nothing wrong with the other party's attitude. A good home was turned into a mess by the police, and there was a child who kept saying that there was a dead person in his family. No one would be happy.

But the Tanaka family is not normal.

As soon as Inspector Megure finished his explanation, Natsukawa remembered this case.

This case is actually about a younger brother who killed his older brother in the bathroom. After being discovered by a child, he assumed two identities to cover up the truth of his brother's death.

His brother should be lying dead in the room on the second floor now.

To be honest, Natsukawa was actually very curious. Officer Megure had clearly gone up there, but he didn't even notice that Tanaka Kazuyuki was already dead.

The tatami mats on the first floor were pried all over the place, and he couldn't even see a corpse in front of him on the second floor.

Normally, a person's face will turn pale after death, especially if they have lost too much blood. It should not be invisible.

"Since Mr. Natsukawa is here, please take the kids home." Inspector Megure's tone was not very good. After all, anyone would feel unhappy if they were fooled.

Especially since the people he trusted were actually little kids.

Now he kind of regretted that he believed Conan so easily when he called him before.

(Thanks to the monthly ticket of the cat in the book ~)

Chapter 19 I was just defending myself

Natsukawa looked at Conan and found that he was holding his chin in thought. Then he looked at himself, Anya. This time, she was no longer crying, but was looking at Tomofumi Tanaka with indignation.

"In that case, I'd better go up and apologize to Mr. Tanaka's brother. These kids have indeed disturbed your peace. In addition, I can pay a housekeeping company to clean up your house."

Everyone who heard this thought it was a very sincere apology, but Tomofumi Tanaka's face changed:

"My brother has fallen asleep. You guys just went up to check on him. There's no need to ask him to come down. And there's no need to call a housekeeping company. I can clean it up myself."

"That won't do. If you're wrong, you have to apologize." Xia Chuan showed an 'apology' expression, "If Mr. Tanaka's brother doesn't want to come downstairs, I can go upstairs and apologize."

"Yes! Anya should apologize too."

Anya's voice was quite loud, and it seemed that she had deliberately amplified it a little.

She put her little hands in front of her mouth to make a trumpet shape, and then shouted loudly towards the stairs, "Uncle Tanaka, Aniya was wrong, can you forgive Aniya?"

Inspector Megure was speechless. This child didn't look like he was apologizing at all. The same was true when he was crying just now. It seemed so fake.

"Ania, keep your voice down, that uncle is very fierce!" Ayumi obviously understood and was a little worried.

The same was true for Yuanta and Mitsuhiko, but they had a glimmer of anticipation, hoping that the uncle upstairs would be woken up. After all, such uncles were really annoying, and if they could annoy him a little, they would be in a much better mood today.

Conan seemed to have thought of something, but something seemed to be missing.

What went wrong? Before the police arrived, he had been guarding the main door to make sure no one was going in or out. Now the body was not in the bathroom, and it was not moved out of the house through the window of the second-floor room. Where could it be? The murderer must have used some special means. There must be something fishy here.

And the murderer is most likely the two brothers Tanaka Kazuyuki and Tanaka Tomofumi.

One was taking a shower before they came, and it was very likely that he was the one who cleaned the room; the other returned home after they came, and it was very likely that he went to the riverbank outside the back window to meet his eldest brother and throw the body into the river. All of these are true.

The big head, which is twice the size of the hip circumference, starts to move at super high speed.

Seeing that Conan hadn't figured it out yet, or hadn't found the right way of thinking, Xia Chuan couldn't help but remind him again.

"Mr. Tanaka's elder brother didn't respond to my loud speech. Could something have happened? I've learned emergency measures such as first aid..."

When saying this, Natsukawa looked at Tomofumi Tanaka with a slightly provocative expression, which was obviously a revenge for him making Anya cry.

It's over if you see if I'm mad or not.

However, Tomofumi Tanaka did not notice Natsukawa's little trick. At this time, he was trying to find an excuse to let these people leave quickly.

"I will help explain to my brother. You should leave quickly. My brother has a bad temper. You should have heard it just now."

Tomofumi Tanaka's expression became much kinder, but his face was twitching a little and there was cold sweat on his forehead, as if he had different thoughts in his mind.

At this time, Conan also noticed something.

This Tomofumi Tanaka doesn't seem to want others to have contact with his brother.

why?

Combined with what Xiachuan just said, the complicated thoughts in Conan's mind suddenly became clear.

That's right!

"Inspector Megure! Is Uncle Tanaka Kazuyu really still alive?"

Conan asked this question in a silly way.

As soon as these words came out.

Tomofumi Tanaka's face changed drastically and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Inspector Megure was obviously very surprised by what Conan said. At the same time, he also saw the strange expression that suddenly appeared on Tomofumi Tanaka's face. Could it be that...

Inspector Megure went up the stairs to the second floor without saying a word.

"Officer, I'm going to sue you for disturbing the public. Do you have a search warrant? You can't go up to the second floor without my consent."

Tomofumi Tanaka still wanted to struggle.

But Inspector Megure ignored him at this time.

Just as he was about to catch up, Xia Chuan hooked his arm and said, "Mr. Tanaka, I think you should ask your brother to come down so I can apologize to him."

The smiling face looked like a devil in the eyes of Tomofumi Tanaka. This was the man just now. If he hadn't insisted on seeing his brother, he would never have been exposed.

And that weird kid in the blue suit shorts and the pink-haired crybaby, it's all because of these three guys.

It was over. The police went to check and found that his brother's death was a foregone conclusion.

"It's all my brother's fault. It's his fault. And you guys, it's all your fault. Otherwise, no one would know that I killed my brother."

Tomofumi Tanaka's head lowered slightly, his glasses suddenly reflected light, and his voice was so soft that others could hardly hear it.

"Father." Anya called softly.

Xia Chuan gently stroked Anya's little hand, signaling her to be at ease.

Tomofumi Tanaka suddenly raised his head and looked at Natsukawa and Anya in his arms with a ferocious face.

These two people have definitely played a major role in getting me to this point.

"go to hell."

He raised his hand and found that he was holding a dagger.

"careful!"

Conan's eyes were bloodshot, but it was too late to activate his leg-strengthening shoes. He didn't even have time to aim the anesthetic needle, so he could only give a warning.

Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko just stared in a daze, their expressions showing fear, but their minds were blank and they didn't know what to say.

The police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department were even more incompetent at this time. They did not notice Tanaka Tomofumi's actions at all and were currently doing restoration work on the first floor.

Tomofumi Tanaka also saw the situation clearly before he dared to take action.

By the time Inspector Megure comes down from upstairs, his arrest will be a foregone conclusion, so he might as well take this opportunity to take revenge on the father and daughter who have disgusted him for so long.

"what!"

A shrill scream and a loud bang made Inspector Megure, who had just confirmed the death of Tanaka Kazuyu, rush down again in a hurry.

He was rather fat, and his movements down the stairs were very large, but he was very fast and had a unique agility.

Just after the staircase turned, he saw a hole in the wooden wall directly opposite the stairs. From his angle, he could clearly see Tomofumi Tanaka lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out.

Although this is a wooden wall, it shouldn't be like this, right?

Tomofumi Tanaka had his eyes closed with a painful expression, and his mouth was wide open with saliva flowing out. Considering the condition of the wooden wall, it must have been him who smashed it.

Inspector Megure was completely confused. It had been less than thirty seconds since he went upstairs. What on earth had happened downstairs?

"Officer Megure, I was only defending myself."

The reason why Tomofumi Tanaka was happy to get the wall-penetrating package was naturally the work of Natsukawa.

Seeing Inspector Megure coming down, Xia Chuan shrugged and said helplessly: "He was the first to attack. Everyone present should be able to prove it."

Although the other party's voice was very small just now, he was very close, so he naturally heard it.

Coupled with the self-cultivation of a spy, isn't it normal for him to reverse and counterattack?

You actually want to attack him? That's really crazy.

Inspector Megure speechlessly asked the police officers to carry Tanaka Tomofumi away. He was unconscious, why did they leave him there without carrying him away?

"What exactly is going on?"

Inspector Megure was silent for a long time, then asked.

Xiachuan shrugged. He was not a detective, so he turned to look at Conan.

Washing machine, it's your turn.

It was indeed Conan who just raised the speculation that the person upstairs was dead, and Inspector Megure followed the direction Natsukawa was looking and looked at Conan.

The case has actually become clearer. It should be that Tomofumi Tanaka killed his brother and then directed and acted in the film himself, playing two roles.

The only strange thing is why when they made a noise downstairs, they could still hear Tanaka Kazuyu's voice upstairs. Tanaka Kazuyu should have been dead at that time.

Although Inspector Megure couldn't figure this out, it was obvious that Conan did.

He had already recovered from the surprise of seeing Natsukawa kicking Tanaka Tomofumi away, and under everyone's gaze, he had walked to the phone.

"The voice we heard earlier was probably not from Tanaka Kazuyuki, but from the answering machine."

As he spoke, Conan stood on tiptoe and tapped a button on the phone.

"Hey! You guys are so noisy, can you please be quiet?"

A loud voice came from the phone.

"Hey, that was the voice just now. It's exactly the same as the voice of the uncle upstairs."

Yuan Taiji was shocked.

It was he who broke things before, which triggered Tanaka Kazuyu's roar. He remembered the sound very clearly.

"As long as he records the audio in advance and turns off the phone's ringtone, when the sound comes out, he can use his portable phone to talk to the phone and the answering machine at home will work automatically."

Conan put his hands in his pockets, not knowing what an opponent was, and looked at Inspector Megure with smugness in his eyes.

The eyes of the members of the Junior Detective League all glowed when they looked at Conan.

Only Aniya curled her lips. After this period of contact, she knew that Conan was now seventeen years old, but just a little shorter.

Isn't it normal for a seventeen-year-old to be able to solve the mystery? If she were seventeen, she would definitely be able to do it.

Aniya is still young and ignorant. She can't understand Conan's idea of ​​becoming smaller after taking the medicine. She just thinks that the reason why she doesn't grow taller may be because she is sick...

"I see. Then why did the TV upstairs turn off automatically?" Inspector Megure asked again.

"There may be more than one remote control for the TV. Judging from Mr. Tanaka Tomofumi's preparations, it is not a spur-of-the-moment decision. He may have prepared another remote control long ago."

After hearing this, a police officer tactfully searched the pockets of the unconscious Tomofumi Tanaka and pulled out a small black remote control and a mobile phone.

"Conan is really smart, he doesn't look like a six-year-old boy at all." Inspector Megure sighed sincerely, "As expected, after following Brother Mori for a long time, even children become smarter."

Conan could only respond with an awkward yet polite smile.

Who has been with whom for a long time? Uncle Maori is just his mouthpiece!

(Kejia scholars, please invest a little!)

Chapter 20: I really don’t know what kids are thinking these days

Of course, Conan would not explain anything about this matter. There was no need. This was the effect he wanted to see.

On the surface, he has already died from the poison of the Black Organization. The best option is to hide under the wings of Kogoro Mori and secretly look for clues about the Black Organization.

If his identity is exposed, he will inevitably be targeted by the Black Organization again, and he may not be so lucky next time.

"Okay, now that the case has been solved, we'll leave first, Officer Megure." Natsukawa and Officer Megure nodded in greeting.

"Okay, then please, Mr. Xiachuan, send the children home."

Xia Chuan nodded and left with the children.

He had a feeling that in the future his GTR might become the exclusive children's shuttle bus for the Junior Detective Team.

In the car, Xia Chuan thought about the whole case. In his opinion, this case actually had many loopholes.
