"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~"
After waiting at the door for about ten seconds, Guangyou heard a series of slightly disordered footsteps.
A few seconds later, the door was opened.
"Little friend, is there anything I can help you with?" Misari Ito asked with a smile as she looked down at Kōyū.
"Auntie, may I use your bathroom?"
To match his current status, Kwang-woo deliberately changed his voice when he said this.
“Hmm...of course.” Misari Ito glanced at Kouyu’s expression, thought for a few seconds, then turned to the side and said gently, “Little friend, the bathroom is in the second room on the right after you go up to the second floor.”
Although he didn't know why she paused for a few seconds, Guangyou didn't want to ask any more questions. He thanked her and went into the house.
When Guangyou took off his shoes in the entryway, he suddenly paused for a second.
He noticed many wet shoe prints on the ground.
Because of his previous profession, the moment Guangyou saw these shoe prints, his mind began to race, and a series of thoughts surfaced in his head.
"Little one, you can wear these slippers." Misari Ito walked to the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of cotton slippers, and bent down to place them on the entryway.
"I'm sorry, little one, Auntie doesn't have any slippers for children, so I'll have to ask you to make do with these." Misari Ito's tone and expression conveyed apology.
"It's alright." Kōyū's furrowed brows, which had been furrowed in thought, instantly relaxed as he looked up at Ito Misari and smiled.
He was already quite good-looking, and coupled with his belief that "life is like a play," his smile had a rather innocent quality.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you this time, Auntie." Guangyou took off his shoes, put on his cotton slippers, and smiled. "Auntie, you don't need to apologize at all. If anyone should apologize, it should be me."
Seeing the smile on the child's face, Misari Ito paused for a moment, then smiled again and said, "Little one, you're so thoughtful. Hurry up and go. The bathroom is in the second room on the right on the second floor. Don't go to the wrong one."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie!" Guangyou said with a smile and then started walking towards the stairs.
The moment he turned around, Guangyou's smile vanished instantly, as if the smile he had just given was merely an illusion.
Thoughts continued to churn in my mind.
Judging from the pattern of the shoe prints, at least four or five people walked through here.
Because of the limited time, Guangyou only glanced at it briefly and didn't look at it very carefully.
One row of shoe prints was slightly smaller than the others, and it was initially determined that this row of shoe prints was left by a woman.
And this shoe print could absolutely not be from Misari Ito.
According to his observation, Misari Ito should not have gone out today, or if she did, it must have been a long time ago.
In other words, besides Misari Ito, another woman had visited this house.
These weren't the only things that puzzled Guangyou.
Also, he noticed shoe prints in the entryway, but no footprints from outside.
It wouldn't be accurate to say that those people stayed there until the soles of their shoes dried out before leaving.
For convenience, most guests simply leave their shoes in the entryway and don't bother to store them in the shoe cabinet.
If there were guests, there should be a deeper mark left in the shoe-changing area at the entrance, but there isn't one here.
It's also possible that Misari Ito has obsessive-compulsive disorder and likes to keep her shoes in a shoe cabinet.
More importantly, some of these shoe prints are still quite fresh.
The shoe prints emitted a faint luster under the light.
It was so obvious, there was no way Guangyou wouldn't have noticed.
In other words, there are other people in this house besides Misari Ito.
There are at least four.
On his way to the restroom, Guangyou kept an eye on his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.
However, no useful discoveries were made.
After going into the bathroom and relieving himself, Kōyū flipped down the toilet seat, sat on it, took out his phone, and sent a text message to Conan:
"I feel like there's something wrong with this lawyer."
Conan quickly replied: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with her? I think she's a pretty nice person, and she speaks very gently."
“There are only footprints on the floor of the entryway, no footprints from when we came out.” Guangyou briefly summarized his discovery. “Based on our assessment, there should be four or five people in this house, one of whom is confirmed to be a woman other than the lawyer.”
A few seconds later, Conan replied, "Maybe it's a friend from the past."
“I can guarantee on Shinichi Kudo’s behalf that these people are definitely not that lawyer’s friends.” Without a second thought, Kōyū quickly edited the text message and sent it.
If those people were friends who came to visit, then there should have been some kind of commotion.
For example, the sound of television programs, conversations between people, and footsteps on the floor.
but...
None of these exist.
The whole house was quiet.
Just as Kōyū was calming himself down and listening carefully for any movement inside the room, Conan's reply came through: "I believe you, but why do you need to use my name to guarantee your words?"
Just as he was about to compose a text message, but before he could type more than a few words, Guangyou heard a muffled sound coming from above.
"Thump!"
Considering all the suspicious signs that had come before, Guangyou felt that the voice was man-made.
Rather than the sound of something falling to the ground.
