"Oh... I thought the detectives had already left."
After seeing Tang Ze and his group enter the living room, Funamoto Tatsujin immediately asked, "Do you have any clues about the criminal?"
"No... not yet..." Inspector Megure said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Hey... Dad... I'm a little hungry..." Just as the two were talking, Touji Funamoto looked at his father and said.
"Ah... is it already this time?" Looking at his watch, Tatsujin Funamoto realized that it was already time for dinner.
"Then let's order some takeout to deliver some food." After hearing the conversation between the father and son, Shigeno Takami walked towards the landline phone.
"Hey, it's about time you go into the kitchen and make something for us, right?" Hearing that Shigeno Takami was still planning to order takeout, Tatsuhito Funamoto complained a little.
"Okay, I got it. I'll prepare it now." Shigeno Takami apologized and walked towards the kitchen.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ze looked towards the kitchen meaningfully, and his super sense of smell was quietly unfolding.
Then his eyes locked on the wheels of Tatsutoshi Funamoto's wheelchair.
On the surface of the wheel, he saw a white foreign object on it, and according to the feedback from his super sense of smell, it was chopped green onions.
At this moment, an inspiration flashed through his mind like lightning. Combined with what Funamoto Tatsujin had said before, he seemed to have understood what the other party's action meant.
Without making a sound, Karasawa retreated into the crowd and walked towards the kitchen while Kogoro Mori and Tatsuhito Funamoto were talking.
At this moment, Shigeno Takami was counting the ingredients in the refrigerator, and the sink was piled with a lot of dishes.
"This is really a lot of accumulation." Tang Ze said as soon as he saw the dishes filling up the sink.
"Ever since what happened to my wife, I haven't been able to do my job properly. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Shigeno Takami smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm just going to clean it up. My husband is a little unhappy that I order takeout for them every day..."
"That's human nature." Tang Ze nodded in understanding, then changed the subject and asked, "Um, what did you cook the night before last?"
"Eh, the day before yesterday?"
Shigeno Takami was taken aback by Karasawa's question, then she stroked her chin and pondered, "I think it was teriyaki yellowtail with marinated vegetables, tofu with green onions, and miso soup..."
"Oh...it sounds great!"
At this moment, Conan, who was following Xiaolan, sighed, but his meaningful expression made Tang Ze know that the other party might have seen through the most critical point in this case.
"If Conan wants to eat it, I'll go back and make it for you." Xiaolan, who was standing next to him, didn't think there was any other meaning in Conan's words. After hearing his sigh, she smiled and said to him.
"Ah, thank you, Lanny." Conan's previous "Cool Kid" smile disappeared the next moment, replaced by a sweet and innocent look.
Xiaolan smiled slightly, then looked at Shigeno Takami and said, "Well, if you don't mind, I'll come and help. I see there seem to be a lot of dishes piled up here..."
"Wait, I'm afraid we won't be able to have this meal today."
Before Shigeno Takami could say anything, Tang Ze on the side spoke up and stopped Xiaolan's actions.
His words also surprised the two people present.
"Detective Tangze, what do you mean..." Xiaolan said in surprise.
"I need to take this away as evidence."
Tang Ze put on white gloves and took an item from the kitchen, then walked out the door, while Conan followed closely behind him.
Xiaolan and Shigeno Takami looked at each other in surprise, and then they no longer cared about cooking and hurriedly chased after Tang Ze.
Back in the living room, Tatsuhito Funamoto, who was in a wheelchair, looked at Shigeno Takami and asked, "Is the meal ready?"
"No..." Shigeno Takami rubbed her hands, not knowing how to answer.
"She said there was no food left in the house, so she had to go out and buy some." Conan on the side explained with a smile.
"Then go quickly and come back soon. I'm almost fainting from hunger." Funamoto Tatsujin urged.
"Ms. Shigeno, let's talk about buying groceries later. I have something to tell you."
Tang Ze looked at Xiaolan beside him and said, "Xiaolan, could you please take brother Toushi upstairs for a while?"
"Yes, I can..." Xiaolan had a puzzled look on her face, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, but in the end she did not ask the question.
Because she knew that Tang Ze had his reasons, and coupled with his previous performance in the kitchen, she actually guessed something.
In the end, Xiaolan didn't say much, but just followed Tang Ze's instructions and took Toushi upstairs.
"What's going on?"
Although Tatsuhito Funamoto didn't say anything when his son was around, after Xiaolan took his son away, he couldn't help but look at Tang Ze and ask.
"Because he is still so young, it is inconvenient for him to know some cruel facts."
Tang Ze looked at Funamoto Tatsujin and said, "I'm afraid this child didn't expect that the criminal who killed his mother was actually his own father."
"What!?"
When Tang Ze finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Funamoto Tatsujin exclaimed angrily, "How could I possibly hurt my own wife?"
"Oh..."
Tang Ze laughed disdainfully upon hearing this: "Nothing is impossible in the future. In the cases I've encountered, most of the people who killed the deceased were close relatives."
