After understanding the whole story, Tangze showed an expression that said, "It's just as expected."
At the same time, I was already convinced that something had happened to the two of them.
The reason why the two of them were looking for the guy named Kusukawa was because Kusawa sent a letter to Kazuye's father not long ago, saying that he had something very important to tell him.
But after sending the letter, there was no news about Nanchuan at all. No matter how he tried to contact him, he could not be contacted. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was missing.
Because Ginshiro Toyama couldn't escape this time, he asked the two of them to investigate what happened to each other when they came to Tokyo.
"I'm probably obsessed with investigating the case." Mouri Kogoro put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then took the phone on the table, "I'll call his detective agency and ask."
After some contact, an acquaintance in the firm told Mouri that Kogoro had been unable to contact him for about two or three days, and that he had heard from Kusukawa that he was going to pursue a big case recently.
For people who do detective work, it is normal for a case to disappear for two or three days to be followed up. Basically, this is the normal work of the detective industry.
There are very few "famous detectives" like Mouri Kogoro who come in and out of murder scenes and are always on TV.
After rejecting the other party's invitation to play mahjong, Mouri Kogoro asked Hattori about the whereabouts of the two of them.
After asking, the other party said that a young man and woman with Osaka accents came over around ten o'clock and asked if Kusukawa was there.
When I learned that the other party had not come to the office for a few days, I asked him for the address of Nanchuan's home and left.
"Then let's go look for it." Tang Ze stood up and prepared to leave, "Where is the address?"
"There is Hatoso in the 4-chome of Cupido-machi." Although there was reluctance on Mouri Kogoro's face, he still stood up and packed up and prepared to go.
It was still raining lightly, but Tangze came by car, so he and the three of them quickly arrived at Youjiuzhuang.
Although the name Jiuzhuang is very artistic, it is actually an apartment that looks very old.
Mouri Kogoro reluctantly complained as he went up the stairs, "Really, our hosts actually have to search for the whereabouts of our guests..."
"Don't say that about Maori-san."
Karasawa smiled and said: "After all, the two of them have come to Tokyo, and we have to be responsible for their safety. Otherwise, how can we live up to the hospitality of Head Hattori and Ms. Jinghua? After all, we caused a lot of trouble to others when we went to Osaka.
"
"That's right." Mouri Kogoro smiled brightly when he heard this, and immediately cheered up.
After going upstairs and reading the letters, the group quickly found Nanchuan's residence.
After knocking on the door, no one responded, and a few people began to read the content posted on the door.
"This sloppy egg is still the same as before. It's already past noon now..." Mouri Kogoro complained as he looked at the content of the note on the door.
"If that's the case, will Heye and the others happen to meet Mr. Kusukawa, and then go out for a meal or something..."
Xiaolan on the side guessed: "Didn't we encounter a restaurant on the way here? Do you want to go over there and ask? Maybe the three of us went to the restaurant."
"No, Heiji, Kazuha and the others must have been waiting at the door for a long time." Karasawa looked at the door and shook his head.
"Eh? Why do you say that?" Xiaolan looked at Tang Ze in confusion and asked.
"Look there, Sister Xiaolan."
Conan pointed to the right side of the door, "There is a watermark on the right side of the paper posted on the door. Do you think that mark is the mark on the hat worn by Brother Heiji?
"Ah, it's true, but why are there such traces on the door..." Xiaolan said puzzled.
"Hattori probably rested for a while while leaning against the door while wearing his wet peaked cap, which is why this imprint appeared."
Karasawa pointed at the mark and said, "Do you think its position looks relatively low? With Hattori's height, only squatting down and resting would make it appear at such a low position."
At the same time, Karasawa also activated his super sense of smell. The smells of Hattori and Kazuha were mixed with the wet rain and were smelled by Karasawa. Especially the area with the hat logo, the smell was more obvious.
There was also a bit of sweet jasmine scent, which Karasawa guessed was the scent of Kazuya's shampoo.
It rained today, so the two of them were inevitably caught in the rain, and the rain dripping from the ends of their hair left behind a little smell. Although ordinary people couldn't smell it, it was not a problem for Tang Ze.
But soon, the aroma mixed with a bit of familiar transparent tape quickly entered the nasal cavity. Tang Ze unconsciously lowered his head to look at the source of the smell, only to find that there was transparent tape taped to the crack of the door.
Noticing Tang Ze's actions, the other three people also saw the tape stuck on the crack of the door.
"Ah! I know this!" Xiaolan leaned over and saw the tape and smiled: "This is a trap specially set up to know if anyone invades the mansion when you are not at home!"
"It's a technique that often appears in movies." Mouri Kogoro leaned over and looked at the tape at the crack of the door and couldn't help but wonder: "Part of this tape has fallen off, does that mean someone has invaded his home?
Wouldn't it be because of this incident that he was so scared that he ran to the police?"
"But if you look at the dust on the tape, it means that the tape has actually fallen off for a while."
Karasawa shook his head and said: "In other words, Mr. Kusukawa may have planned to go home immediately, but then he was unable to go home for some reason, so the tape became like this.
Moreover, someone broke into Mr. Kusukawa's house while he was away.
Hattori must have noticed it too..."
After a pause, Tang Ze reached for the door handle and twisted it slightly, and the door opened directly.
"The door is unlocked!?" Mouri Kogoro was shocked when he saw this.
"Yes, that is to say...has someone really invaded Mr. Nanchuan's home?" Xiaolan hugged her father's arm and looked at the scene in the house with a little fear, as if something would appear in the next moment.
The person on the side naturally noticed the movements of his sweetheart, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Even if there are really gangsters in the house, it’s the other side that you should worry about. Their current lineup is probably not enough to deal with five or six people, so I’m afraid it’s not enough for you to beat on your own...
Thinking of Xiaolan's increasingly explosive fighting power, Conan couldn't help but feel a strange absurdity in his heart when he looked at Xiaolan's frightened expression.
Shaking his head to throw away these messy thoughts, a group of people entered the room, led by Tang Ze.
