It didn’t take long for Linton and the others to arrive at Kenbashi Town. This is a fairly ordinary-looking Japanese-style residential area, with one house per house. It seems to be an area where the middle class lives, although
The surrounding buildings were not high-end. At that time, the distance between each house was quite large, the area of the house was not small, and each house had a garden, and most of them were separated by walls.
Soon everyone arrived at their destination, which was the current two-story Japanese-style house. It looked like a very ordinary house, and it should be quite old.
They looked at the house number at the door and saw that it was really Kaneki, rather than the surname of Norio Jitsu that was registered on the property, indicating that this should be the place they were looking for. And the house number written by the other party was Kaneki, which further proves that this is the place they are looking for.
It may be the place where the other party lives, rather than a house secretly registered under a false name.
When they walked to the door of the house, they could already feel that no one had lived inside for a long time. This kind of house with a courtyard needed to be taken care of. If no one took care of it, weeds would quickly grow everywhere. At this time, they saw
This was the situation when we arrived. Looking at the back of the house, we saw a green patch of green covered with various layers of weeds, which had spread to the side of the house.
What further illustrates the problem is the pile of letters-like things piled in front of the door. In fact, this house has a mailbox, right next to the front door, but the mailbox is already full at this time, and there is probably no room to stuff it.
As a result, even the door was full of letters.
After a casual look, Linton also saw reminder notes from various banks, as well as a lot of advertisements and the like. This number can also be used to estimate how long no one has been here.
And Linton really didn't feel the breath of living people inside. The house was empty.
"It looks like no one has lived there for a long time." Miyano Akemi also said, "If this is Kaneki Ken's residence, he must have been missing for a long time."
"If he lives alone, he should leave a spare key outside the house." Haihara Ai here said, "Generally speaking, it will be under the flower pot, inside the mailbox, etc..."
"Excuse me..." Before he could finish his words, Linton opened the door directly, and there was a "bang" sound of some metal breaking. It was obviously that the lock was broken by Linton. Of course, here
The door is also opened.
"I now believe that we will definitely encounter a crime." Conan here said, "Are you committing a crime now? This is breaking into a private house!"
"Uh... What I did doesn't count... What are you talking about? Can what I do be called a crime? I've already said it. I, Linton, a moral model and a benchmark in life, how can I do anything criminal? You want to
If you don’t believe me, I will drag the Japanese Prime Minister to explain to you whether this is a crime." Linton said.
"I said……"
"In short, the things I did don't count. Don't worry, our bet excludes our group. It must be something done by others." Linton said, "Just wait, I have a hunch that it will be triggered soon."
Conan's mood was a bit complicated. Linton's intention was that he was very open about the bet, and he really didn't use any tricks. But by saying so clearly, didn't he mean that he was going to do something illegal?
"For example, if we go in now, there is a high chance that we will be greeted by a corpse." Linton pointed to the interior of the house and said, "This kind of plot is very common. You can see it in many detective dramas.
The protagonist accidentally enters a house that has been unoccupied for a long time, and accidentally opens the cabinet and a body pops out. It’s very impactful. This is the plot design.”
"It can't be...really." Miyano Akemi here seems to really believe it.
"How could such a thing happen?" Conan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm sure there is no body in the room here. You can tell just by the smell. The moment the door was opened, the change in air pressure in the house showed that this house was not
Ventilate, if there is a corpse, the smell will come out even if it has been dead for a long time."
"Anyway, let's start searching." Linton waved his hand and said, "I came here to use it now, so hurry up and find all the useful things."
"..." So Linton really came to capture their young men? Huiyuan Ai and the others were also quite surprised as to why Linton took them with him. Now they finally understand.
Linton was indeed telling the truth. Searching matters should be left to professional detectives. Linton did not have the time or energy to search all over the house.
Miyano Akemi and the others were cooperative, and they quickly started searching the house. Linton also followed and checked the house a little.
The other party's house looks quite old from the outside, but the interior of the house has indeed been modernized. Simply put, it is quite comfortable to live in. However, it seems that the house is a bit too big for one person at present.
Linton estimated that the total area was more than 350 square meters. It was too big, making it obviously inconvenient for one person to live in, and it was also particularly troublesome to clean. Linton was thinking that it would be best if Kaneki Ken lived with someone else, for example.
woman.
However, as several people started searching the house, most of the news Linton received was not very good.
First of all, the idea of living together with someone was quickly denied by Conan and others. The other person lived alone. In addition to not finding the second person's daily necessities and clothing in the room, Conan and the others also searched carefully.
In places like the bathroom drain, make sure you don't find anything like long hair, just some short hair.
Unless Kaneki Ken intentionally eliminated the traces of the second person's existence, he was living alone. Of course, he shouldn't eliminate those, otherwise why not eliminate his own traces as well.
Of course, as Conan had inferred, no corpses were found in the room. If anything, they were the corpses of a lot of bugs, dried corpses of mosquitoes, cockroaches and the like. Speaking of this, here
Conan was quite proud, feeling as if he had won the bet.
Apart from this, there are not many other discoveries, because there are not many traces of Kaneki Ken's life left. The room is quite clean, and I did find a lot of the other party's personal belongings, clothes, etc.
But overall, the room was a bit too clean. It felt like the other party didn't treat this place as a real home, but rather it felt like a hotel.
Of course Linton knew what was going on. After all, Jin Muyan was an explorer and not an aboriginal. After the investigation, he still had to leave. Such an attitude was normal.
The relatively big discovery was some notes, materials and information left on the computer by Kaneki Ken. Yes, Kaneki Ken left a lot of information. Linton was quite happy to hear about this, but what he didn't expect was
Linton frowned when he saw the notes and information collected by Conan and the others.
The information Linton wants is information about exploration, information about the system, information about similar plans that were known before, and generally speaking, information from outside this world. But what are the notes that Conan and the others brought?
?
"Screenplay: "The Man from Earth."
"Novel: Malice."
"Manga: "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba."
"Game planning: "Genshin Impact"."
…
Yes, most of the things placed in front of Linton were such things. Linton found that the investigator named Kaneki Ken didn't know if he had picked up the wrong script. You just picked up the script of an entertainment novel. Why was he so focused on it?
Started to engage in literary creation and became a literary copywriter?
Coupled with the previous Pokémon games, Linton felt that the other party was either playing crazy, or he really had some purpose. It was normal to play crazy, maybe the other party felt that playing entertainment content was more fun.
Linton himself is also looking for fun. As for Linton's purpose, he probably knows how to get the valuables in this world?
Yes, Linton hasn't found out what the valuables in this world are yet. Although Lu Ping was asked to help him get the MEGA stone, to be honest, Linton didn't know what the actual valuables of this fusion would be like. The two previous worlds must have existed.
Different valuables, which one counts after fusion? Or do they both count?
Maybe Kaneki Ken did this because he wanted to get something valuable in the world of Conan, but he didn't know what it was yet.
Thinking of this, Linton wondered if he should try following this senior's routine, such as publishing the works in front of him. But the problem is that most of the things in front of him are semi-finished products. Some of them just have a name written on them, and the content has not been filled in.
Well. Of course Linton knew what these things were and had read the original works of some works, but he had neither the time nor the inclination to engage in these.
"Didn't you find anything like a diary?" Linton was more concerned about things outside the world, so he asked.
"I've searched them all, and the only one left is this computer, but you also saw that there is a password." Conan said, "I need to find someone to crack it. Can I ask Dr. A Li to try it?"
It seemed that Conan was also interested in finding Kaneki Ken and took the initiative to speak.
"Give it to me directly." Linton said and took the computer, then opened a portal next to him, sent the computer over, and said to the portal, "Crack this thing and sort out the information inside.
Also try to restore previously deleted parts."
"Got it." The voice coming from the other side was naturally Asuna's. She was obviously at work at this time, but she immediately took over the computer and started working.
"Who?" Haihara Ai here looked at Asuna on the other side of the portal and couldn't help but say.
Linton did not answer, but said to himself: "Are there no other clues?"
"I have an idea." Conan here started to come up with ideas at this time. "At present, Mr. Kaneki should have lived here for a long time. We might as well ask the neighbors around and see.
Can they provide any useful information?"
