"Speaking of which, there are really not many things in this room..." "Speaking of which, there are really not many things in this room..."
"Well, this is my brother's habit. He likes to keep his room neat and tidy..."
Inspector Megure couldn't help but say as he looked around the room which was clearly visible.
Tang Ze on the side also walked to the window, opened the curtains, and saw the scenery outside.
I saw a high wall outside the window, and a big tree planted in the backyard next to the wall, which was even taller than the wall that was almost four meters high.
Inside the room, Tomofumi Tanaka looked at his sleeping brother and complained, "Brother, you're such a jerk! Just turn off the TV before you go to sleep..."
“Crack!”
As soon as the other party finished speaking, the TV that was broadcasting the baseball finals suddenly turned off.
"Not good! We seem to have woken him up!" Tomofumi Tanaka helped push Karasawa, Inspector Megure and Conan out of the outer room.
Arriving outside the door, Tomofumi Tanaka looked at Megure and said politely, "Officer, you should have searched all the rooms, right...?"
"That's exactly right. There's no trace of a dead body..." Inspector Megure was a little embarrassed, and then he looked at the Junior Detectives angrily: "You little brats, explain it to me!"
"Every word we said was true! We really saw the body!"
"There must be some kind of secret room in the villa!"
"The body must be hidden there!!"
"Yes, that's right!! That's definitely it!!"
The three little ones were talking one after another, and their confident looks made Inspector Megure unconsciously turn his head to look at Tomofumi Tanaka, as if asking him if this was true.
"We're not filming a movie, how could there be something like that?" Tomofumi Tanaka waved his hands repeatedly.
"Inspector Megure, the body may have already been moved out!" Conan said after pondering for a moment.
"What?" Inspector Megure looked at Conan in surprise and asked, "But when we first arrived at the scene, didn't you say that no one entered or left this room?"
"That's true, but I can't see what's going on behind the house from the telephone booth in front of the main entrance," said Conan.
"But you also see that there is a very high wall behind this house. No matter how strong you are, it is impossible to climb over it with the corpse on your back." Inspector Megure thought for a while and said.
"I thought the same thing when I saw the wall, which is why I was so sure no one could get in or out of the room...
But then I saw the tree in the yard...it was entirely possible, if they could have secured the body to their body and then climbed the tree and over the wall, it was entirely possible."
Conan's statement was not without evidence. When Tomofumi Tanaka led everyone upstairs, he noticed that a leaf had fallen from the other person's rolled-up trouser leg. This was indeed a very noteworthy piece of evidence.
However, in order to make Conan miscalculate, Inspector Megure directly called two police officers to conduct the experiment. Although it was very difficult, the two found that it was completely impossible after climbing over the wall.
Because there was a riverbank outside the high wall, there was no way to get down from such a high place.
And although there is a passage to walk through, its width is only about 40 centimeters, which makes it difficult for an adult to walk normally. They can only walk with their backs against the wall using the crab step method.
But there is a problem. If you carry a corpse, even if you do crab steps with this width, you will fall directly into the river below.
"Since we can't move the matter out and there's no body found in the house, then you must be lying!" Inspector Megure looked at the dead members of the Young Detectives with a stern face.
"I-We didn't lie!"
"Well... Officer Megure, I think we don't need to go back in such a hurry." Just as Megure was about to turn around and leave, Tang Ze, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Tang Zejun, have you found anything?" Inspector Megure looked at this elite newcomer who had just arrived but demonstrated excellent abilities, with a look of strong expectation on his face.
"Everything is clear now." Tang Ze chuckled and looked at Tanaka Tomofumi meaningfully, "Someone is playing a double act in front of us."
"What's the meaning?"
Inspector Megure looked confused, but on the other side, Tomofumi Tanaka could no longer suppress his expression and his panic was revealed.
Tang Ze smiled at Tomofumi Tanaka, then walked quickly into the house.
“You…what are you going to do!?”
When Tomofumi Tanaka saw what Tang Ze was doing, he hurriedly chased after him. Tang Ze entered the house and was about to step onto the stairs to the second floor. Tomofumi Tanaka tried to stop him in panic but was unable to completely stop Tang Ze.
When Tang Ze walked towards the other brother's room, Tanaka Zhifu's expression completely changed. He looked at Tang Ze and said in a bad tone: "My brother is sleeping. Do you want to wake him up? He has a very bad temper. You have seen it before!"
"Oh? Then I really want him to lose his temper."
Tang Ze wanted to continue forward as if no one was around, but Tanaka Tomofumi's expression turned fierce, "Get out of here! You police officers who just barged into other people's homes, what right do you have to be so presumptuous!!"
As he said this, Tomofumi Tanaka wanted to grab Tang Ze's clothes and throw him away, but Tang Ze dodged him directly, grabbed the other's arm with his backhand and twisted it directly. The pain made Tomofumi Tanaka half-kneel on the ground unconsciously.
"Karaze-kun...are you a little..." Inspector Megure hesitated and wanted to stop him. In his opinion, angering the other party like this was not a good choice.
"Officer Megure, please go check on Tomofumi Tanaka's brother in the bedroom and try to wake him up."
"Huh? Try to wake him up? Tang Zejun, what do you mean?"
Inspector Megure felt a little strange when he heard what Karasawa said. The other party's words were really weird.
Tang Ze looked at the panicked Tanaka Tomofumi and said calmly, "I'm afraid you also know that no matter how hard you try, you can't wake up your brother.
After all, your brother is already a corpse, isn't he? "
"What!?" Inspector Megure was shocked when he heard this and quickly walked into the room.
Coming to the recliner, Inspector Megure tentatively pushed the man's right arm that was supporting his cheek, but the man fell down like a puppet, like a puddle of mud.
Seeing this, Inspector Megure looked serious and hurried forward to check, but found that the other person had already stopped breathing. When he placed his fingers on the neck, he could not even detect a trace of temperature feedback from his hands touching the other person's skin.
There is no doubt that the other party is dead and has become cold. As the name means, the body has become cold.
It can be said that he couldn't be deader.
