Ding-ling-ling~~
In the slightly noisy room, the ringing bell still attracted the attention of the forensic examiners who were busy collecting evidence in the room.
"The phone's ringing. Do you want to answer it?" Hattori Heiji asked, looking at the landline in the living room. "When something like this happens, you should at least call and explain the situation to the person who called, right?"
"Takagi, please call that servant over here."
Tang Ze looked at the other party and said, "Tell her in advance that if there's something wrong on the other end of the phone, tell her not to reveal our presence and just react normally."
"Detective Karasawa, do you mean... the criminal!?" Takagi was a detective after all, and he keenly understood the meaning of his words.
"Go quickly, the call might be disconnected soon." Tang Ze nodded and said, "Although it's just a precaution, it's still important to be prepared."
"I understand." Takagi nodded seriously and immediately ran to find the maid.
Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other. Although their expressions were serious, they could also see the depression in each other's eyes.
The seriousness was naturally due to the possibility raised by Tang Ze, and the depression was naturally due to the same problem.
After all, when they heard the phone call, they didn't realize that it might be the criminal calling back, but Tang Ze had considered this.
From a big picture perspective, they have already lost.
Many times before, they were slow to react because of this subtle overall situation and caution.
As a result, Tang Ze took the initiative many times and successfully prevented several murders from happening.
Of course, it is normal that the two did not realize this, because for them, the criminal has already killed someone and escaped, and generally would not dare to cause trouble again.
As for Tang Ze, when he knew about today's visit, he already had a premonition that a murder was bound to occur this time.
That's why he visited earlier and successfully rescued the client.
After learning about the existence of the maid, Tang Ze immediately became interested.
As we all know, there are no random supporting characters in scientific cases.
Therefore, according to the original plot, it is highly likely that the two will be allowed into the house to facilitate the subsequent development of the plot.
Kudo Shinichi's death was inevitable. Judging from the speed at which the servants arrived, if things had continued to develop without Karasawa's involvement, the other party would have definitely died.
Was this servant here to call the police? Or to act as a criminal?
Excluding the possibility of Karasawa's involvement, even if the other party is not around, if there is no response when they knock on the door, there is a high probability that Hattori Heiji and the other person will go into the house to find out what is going on.
The possibility of the criminal being one of them is even smaller. After all, this case is obviously related to the Inufushi family, and the criminal must be one of the eight adopted sons.
Murder cases are always accompanied by puzzles to be solved, and the criminal is not there, so the only reason that can make the two start reasoning is that the maid may have done something.
If there was no phone call, Tang Ze would not be sure, but if the criminal called to threaten the other party, then the possibility would be much greater.
Even Conan and Hattori Heiji probably couldn't have imagined that the overall perspective they thought they lacked was actually a different way of thinking for Karasawa, analyzing the "story" context from the "fourth wall" dimension.
Although this kind of thinking is not always useful and has no basis.
But it is undeniable that once Tang Ze can match the pattern of the case, he will be able to gain the upper hand even if he has no impression of the case.
All in all, this is like another way of thinking, which allows him to consider cases more comprehensively.
This time, Tang Ze's prediction was also very lucky, and everything unfolded as he expected.
The call was really made by the criminal!
After the maid answered the call, a strange voice from a voice changer was heard on the speakerphone.
Seeing the maid's panicked look and request for help, Takagi immediately whispered to comfort him and asked him to ask the purpose of the criminal's call.
The other party asked the maid to open the cabinet in the study right away. The maid took the opportunity to put down the phone and asked Officer Takagi for help on how to respond next.
Immediately thereafter, during some exaggerated questioning, the prisoner revealed his true intentions.
He wanted to help the servant deal with a "young detective" and use the methods he provided to deceive the other party in order to disguise the false appearance that Kudo Shinichi committed suicide.
Upon hearing this request, the maid immediately refused it righteously without any prompting.
After all, he is surrounded by a large group of police officers. How could he agree to the other party's idiotic request?
But soon the other party asked the maid to check the photo taped to the wardrobe door, and soon the woman's voice became one of real fear.
Because the child in the photo was her son, the other party used her son as a threat to force her to do this.
Fortunately, the criminal was not monitoring this place in real time, and did not know that Karasawa had rescued Kudo Shinichi.
So after signaling the maid to calm down, he asked her to agree, which temporarily stabilized the prisoner.
“Save my son!”
As soon as the call was disconnected, the maid grabbed Takagi's arm anxiously: "Please, he is innocent!!"
"Don't worry, we will immediately send someone to protect your family's safety."
Gao Mu said immediately with a serious expression: "Now tell me your family's address, and we will immediately send someone to protect the safety of your son and other family members."
"I, I understand..."
