The telephone booth at 23-9 Beika-cho.
Conan Edogawa, who had just dialed the police using a public phone, looked up at the two-meter-high telephone booth in confusion. Climbing up there was impossible with his current height, so he turned to look at the taller Kojima Genta and pleaded:
"Yuanta, can you lift me up and send me up there?"
"Ah? Why do you do this?" Kojima Genta tilted his head in confusion. When he thought of a possibility, he quickly scolded with a serious face: "Conan, why are you still thinking about playing hide-and-seek at this time? But there is a dead body!"
"No, I want to sit up there and observe the villa. Think about it, as long as no one moves the body away, the police will believe that we are not lying when they arrive! And who knows, you might even see the murderer while sitting up there, don't you think?" Edogawa Conan staggered speechlessly. As a 17-year-old high school student, he really couldn't understand a child's way of thinking.
Genta Kojima thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he quickly lifted Conan up and sent him up. Conan, who had successfully climbed to the top of the telephone booth, was like a giant Buddha, with his arms folded across his chest, staring straight at the villa, afraid of missing any clues.
Ayumi Yoshida, leaning against the telephone booth, looked at the intersection from time to time. She was hoping that the police officers rushing to the scene of the crime this time would not be Inspector Megure and his men, but it would be that handsome brother Takashi.
I don't know if it's the principle of "never forgetting will be rewarded" or if Yoshida Ayumi is really lucky, but when she saw the familiar white sports car appear in her field of vision, she excitedly raised her hands and said:
"Wow, it's Brother Yingsi!"
"Why?!"
Conan Edogawa, who was sitting upstairs, instantly became alert after hearing this name. Oh no, he hadn't met Brother Takashi since he became an elementary school student. He was so perceptive, could he see through his identity in an instant?
It's easier to evade Ran and Uncle Maori, but can she really pull it off against the "lie detector master" Takagi Sosuke? Or should she just tell Takagi her true identity?
Conan Edogawa was in a dilemma. After seeing Sosuke Takagi get out of the car, he pretended to continue staring at the direction of the villa. After all, he had never met Sosuke Takagi before. If he pretended to be familiar with him, he would definitely be suspected.
When Sosuke Takashi got off the car, he noticed the little boy with glasses sitting in the phone booth at once. To be honest, although he had never seen Kudo Shinichi as a child, the child's facial features... were exactly the same as Kudo's.
An illegitimate child of one of the Kudo couple? No, that shouldn't be the case.
Is that the child that the Kudos left behind during their world tour? There's no way he's an illegal resident.
Who is this kid? It can't be Kudo Shinichi shrunk, right?
Oh, how could such an outrageous thing be possible?
"Brother Yingsi!"
"Huh? So it was you who called the police, Ayumi." Fujiwara Yuu squatted down with a smile on his face, rubbed Yoshida Ayumi's head skillfully, and asked curiously: "I heard that you found a body? Where is it?"
"Over there, inside that villa!" Kojima Genta, who loves to show off in front of adults, raised his hand and answered very actively, and then ran towards the villa with Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko.
Sitting in the phone booth, Conan Edogawa suddenly became anxious. He stood up and looked at the height of more than two meters above the ground. He could feel his legs going numb without even thinking. He closed his eyes and jumped down, but he was caught in mid-air.
When Fujiwara Yu saw Edogawa Conan about to jump down, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed his collar. Conan is only one meter tall and weighs less than a bag of rice, so it can be said that he is under no pressure at all.
"Little boy, this action is very dangerous, please be careful."
"Ah~ Sorry, police brother, I won't do it again!" Edogawa Conan said in a cute and childish voice. He has used up all his life's acting skills. When he was a child, he never used this kind of voice to act coquettishly with his parents.
"...Well, being obedient is a good thing." Fujiwara Yu felt like he was getting goosebumps. He would rather believe that the elementary school student in front of him was a child prodigy than believe the absurd thought that just flashed through his mind.
Just imagining Kudo Shinichi speaking in that tone made him want to vomit.
After putting Conan down, Fujiwara Yu walked towards the villa in front of him and pressed the doorbell at the urging of several children. However, before he could reveal his identity, the door was suddenly pushed open, accompanied by a roar.
"What's going on? It's so noisy, don't you know it's disturbing others?!"
I think I just rang the doorbell. Is this guy too irritable?
Fujiwara Yuu looked at the man in front of him with glasses, who was wearing a bathrobe with a towel hanging around his neck. The towel was wet, but his hair was dry. He looked like he was deliberately pretending to be taking a bath.
There is indeed a problem.
He took out his police ID and explained:
"I'm Sosuke Takashi from the Metropolitan Police Department. These kids called the police and reported that there was a body in your house. I ask for your cooperation in the investigation."
"Corpse?"
"That's right, we saw with our own eyes that man lying in the bathroom, covered in blood!" Conan Edogawa shouted with his hands on his waist, looking like a little adult.
The man with glasses frowned and looked at the children, saying with disdain:
"Huh, what nonsense are you talking about? As for the bathroom, I've been using it since a while ago. There's no body there at all. You little brats are just bragging. You're such a jerk! You only know how to lie!"
"No, Ayumi really saw it!" Yoshida Ayumi raised her little head anxiously and looked at Toji Sosuke, puffing her lips a little aggrieved and said, "Brother Toji, Ayumi didn't lie, there really was a big brother lying in the bathroom covered in blood!"
Fujiwara Yuu smiled slightly at Yoshida Ayumi, then looked seriously at the man with glasses and said in a deep voice:
"Sir, please cooperate with the police investigation and take me to the bathroom for a look."
"Okay, but these little devils can't come in."
Seeing a very suspicious man walking towards the end of the corridor with Sosuke Toji, Conan Edogawa rolled his eyes. After whispering to his friends for a while, he tiptoed and followed them.
Fujiwara Yu, who had been observing out of the corner of his eye, naturally saw this scene, but he pretended not to notice. After all, he was also very curious about who this Edogawa Conan was and why he was so interested in the crime scene. He felt more and more that he was connected to Kudo.
Could it be that this is Kudo Shinichi's illegitimate child outside?
No, no, no, Kudo is only seventeen years old. She was only ten years old seven years ago. How could she have a child?
Edogawa Conan, who are you?
