Seeing Ayano Saeki burst into tears again, Inspector Megure on the side began to comfort her.
As for Tang Ze, he took the opportunity to look around the entire room while searching.
First of all, the most conspicuous things in the entire room are the footprints and the blood-stained knife.
The footprints spread in a disorderly manner towards the balcony, and it seemed that someone had escaped from the balcony.
Tang Ze tapped the footprints on the floor with his fingers and then pinched the dust off them.
Then he turned his head to look at the murder weapon thrown aside. The dagger was stained with blood, and there was also some blood on the floor next to the dagger.
However, after seeing the pool of blood next to the murder weapon, Tang Ze couldn't help but frown.
He stood up and walked towards the balcony, and Conan followed him.
"The balcony window was smashed, and the criminals must have invaded from here."
Conan looked at the big hole in the balcony door and said, "Miss Midori's house only has a second floor, and there's grass underneath.
Whether it's invading or escaping, it shouldn't be difficult."
"Judging from the footprints, that's indeed what it shows."
Tang Ze's nose twitched slightly, and the next moment he turned his head to look at the air conditioner on the balcony. On it was a relatively regular rectangle formed by a circle of yellow residue.
"Is this... bread crumbs?" Tang Ze quickly identified the true nature of the residue from the smell. After re-entering the room, he found the bread maker on the cupboard that heated up the bread slices.
"Detective Takagi, did you find anything over there?"
After looking at the bread warmer, Tang Ze looked at Officer Takagi who was communicating with the forensic personnel and asked.
"We found a piece of paper in the trash can in the room."
Takagi pulled out the evidence bag, revealing a crumpled piece of paper. "It says '293' on it. Miss Ayano, do you remember this number?"
"No..." Saeki Ayano looked at the note and shook her head.
"The body is missing. It would be very troublesome to carry it out directly." Tang Ze said, "Excuse me, Miss Midori, do you have any suitcases or anything like that in your room?"
"In that case..."
When Saeki Ayano heard what Karasawa said, she looked around with a horrified expression and said, "Mifuyu's suitcase is missing!
She has a large suitcase that she usually keeps in the cabinet at the end of the bed."
"So, that guy Tabata took the suitcase!"
Upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro immediately said excitedly: "So this is how it should be, Inspector Megure!
The criminal first killed Miss Midyu with a knife, and then when he was about to move the body, Miss Ayano rushed over.
Then he hid on the balcony, waited for Miss Ayano to leave, and then put Miss Midyu into the suitcase and took her away."
"Based on the evidence at the scene, this is indeed the most likely possibility."
After a moment's hesitation, Officer Megure immediately gave the order, "Takagi, immediately take people to investigate nearby to see if anyone has seen any suspicious men moving around with suitcases!
Let’s go to Mr. Tabata’s house!”
Everyone had no objection to what they heard, and they drove to Mr. Tabata's house under the command of Saeki Ayano.
Atsushi Tabata's house was a standard one-family house. When everyone arrived at the gate, two patrolmen came towards them.
After receiving the order, they arrived at the mansion and stood guard at the door.
"Officer Megure, there are footprints and wheel marks here. They must have been left by the heavy checked luggage!"
After hearing what Maori Kogoro said, Takagi took out his notebook and compared the footprints and said, "Indeed, the footprints here match those at Miss Miduya's house."
Hearing Takagi's words, Maori Kogoro's previous reasoning was confirmed, and he became even more excited. His desire to show off was overwhelming: "Tabata, that guy really killed someone and put the body in a suitcase and brought it home!"
Kogoro Mouri walked towards the gate with a menacing look. After pressing the doorbell and hearing no one responding, he opened the door directly the next moment.
"The door is unlocked..."
Maori Kogoro was about to say something when he saw the boots under the entrance. His face froze and he hurried into the house and said, "Inspector, look at those shoes, they're stained with blood!"
Maori Kogoro, wearing white gloves, picked up the shoes, looked at the bottom of the shoes and said in a deep voice: "The pattern of these shoes is the same as the shoe marks at Miss Midyu's house!
It is obvious that the criminal was wearing these shoes when he killed Miss Midori.
Look, there's blood on it!"
Inspector Megure and Takagi looked at each other and nodded immediately. Takagi then took the lead and walked into the room.
The strong Tang Ze followed behind the opponent. If there was an emergency, his reaction time was enough to limit the attack and protect Takagi's safety.
"Did he run away?"
Megure, who hadn't heard a word from Tokyo, couldn't help but speak as he walked and listened to the quiet sounds around him.
After all, if you hear so much noise in the house, you will definitely check the situation or run away out of guilt.
However, after they arrived at Tabata's house, there was no movement in the entire room. It was normal for Inspector Megure to suspect that the other party had escaped.
Just when everyone was wondering whether the other party had fled for fear of punishment, they were shocked to see the scene in the living room. The next moment, they unconsciously quickened their pace and came to the coffee table.
Tabata Atsushi, who they expected to escape, was now lying on the table without any movement, with a pool of white liquid at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the situation was not good.
"Dead."
Tang Ze checked his pulse and shook his head.
"What on earth is going on!?" Inspector Megure's face changed drastically when he saw this scene, but his expression was more of confusion.
