Symbiosis 8
After the tasks were divided, the few people didn't say much. They all left in a very professional and decisive manner to do their own work.
"Hokkaido..." Ida Kou sighed. He had just flown here from Hokkaido. Edogawa Conan was typing on the keyboard next to him. Morobushi Keimitsu said he didn't want to live under the same roof with Akai Shuichi. The cat-eyed young man didn't fully trust the FBI's trump card, so he went to the reserved safe house by himself. With the withdrawal of the large force, the Kudo residence returned to its former tranquility. The tough police officer scratched his crew cut and flipped through his notebook. "I remember that Sugita Taro confessed that the hand wooden warehouse was lost nineteen years ago. Did any case happen in Hakodate, Hokkaido during that period..."
He frowned and asked several colleagues. After all, he was not in the police station and some information could not be retrieved. The good relationships he had accumulated over the years came in handy at this time, and a colleague responded to him about the relevant matters.
"...Aoki Block Apartment?"
Date Kou's mumbling soon attracted the attention of Edogawa Conan, who was still struggling to look up information. The latter pushed the computer to Haibara Ai on the side and went over to look at the information together.
The word "団地" comes from the abbreviation of "group residential land". It is a public housing project initiated by the Japanese government in response to the many problems brought about by the city's expanding population.
In order to utilize land more efficiently and alleviate population housing pressure, designers have tried every possible means and tried their best to compress living necessities to the limit. In these narrow spaces, a family of three or more people are often squeezed.
This is the case with the Aoki Apartment Building located at 3-10 Eyama-cho. The building was built in the last century and is about ten stories high. It has undergone many renovations and is said to be old on the outside, but brand new on the inside, which attracts residents to live there. Unfortunately, no matter how it is renovated, it cannot change the fact that it is out of date. Therefore, the government plans to demolish it in November this year and has arranged for the relevant residents early on. However, as luck would have it, problems were discovered shortly after construction began.
While checking the pipes on the fifth floor of the apartment building, construction workers accidentally discovered something unusual with the ceiling. After inspection, they found a female body wrapped in a thin blanket on the ceiling of the master bedroom in Room 709.
Due to a combination of ventilation and various environmental factors, the body did not rot, but instead took on a mummy-like state. After the construction workers called the police, the police intervened to investigate and questioned the previous residents of No. 709, but the most recent resident of No. 709 had only moved in two years, and the forensic doctor initially inferred that the time of death should have been more than ten years ago.
Due to the long time, the previous management of Aoki Apartment was chaotic, records were lost, and managers left, the identity of the deceased has not been confirmed. It can only be speculated that it should be a previous resident. For this reason, the police specially found the landlord of Room 709 more than ten years ago, but the latter was old and suffered from multiple diseases such as memory impairment and could not provide any clues. His family also said that they were not aware of the relevant matters...
"Why are you asking this?" Yi Dahang's colleague on the phone sounded puzzled, "What case is it related to?"
"It's still under investigation," Yi Dahang said, turning a blind eye. "Can you help me do a DNA comparison? I'll send you the sample, and I'm also sorry for the case-related information..."
"Okay," the other party agreed readily, "but the state of the body is a little special, DNA comparison may not be possible, you may have to wait for a long time."
"Thank you," Yi Dahang expressed his gratitude cheerfully, "I'll treat you to a meal next time when I'm free."
"I didn't expect that I could eat the class monitor's food after graduation," the other party sighed, but as if he thought of something, he lowered his voice, "Um, class monitor, I saw it when I was surfing the Internet." There was hesitation in his tone, "Ishii-kun..."
"He's not like that, is he?"
"He is not." Ida Hang answered firmly. Ishii Kazuki's bloody accusation directly brought disgrace to many Japanese officials. Many people on the Internet accused him of sensationalism and smearing the image of Japan. From the tone of his voice, we can imagine what kind of comments this classmate saw, "He is definitely not that kind of person."
"I told you! Anyone who knows Ishii-kun knows what kind of police officer he is!" The other party's voice became noticeably lighter. "Well... Anyway, keep up the good work, squad leader!"
"I will support you!"
