"Police?" Seeing Conan running into the phone booth next to him, Qianyu was surprised, and then looked at the window again. "What on earth is this..."

...

"You said you found a body?" Officer Memu stepped out of the police car and looked at the three children with a suspicious look on his face.

"Really!"*3

"You're absolutely right, Officer Megure." The voice came from above the phone booth.

"Ke, Conan?" Memu was surprised when he saw Conan. "Why are you here?"

"No one came out of this room just now," Conan said confidently. "That means the body is still in this room."

"Hey, we are the police, open the door!" Memu asked the accompanying police to prepare to break in, and then rang the doorbell himself.

"Who are you making so much noise!" A rather rude voice appeared in front of everyone earlier than the middle-aged man who opened the door.

"I'm Officer Megure. Here's the thing. These kids claim to have found a body in your bathroom."

"We saw it with our own eyes!"

"A man motionless!"

"Just pour it on the bathtub!"

"My wrist is soaked in water and is bleeding continuously!"

Gentai, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko all agreed.

"How is this possible!" The middle-aged man looked disdainful. "I was the one using the bathroom just now!"

"Everyone from the detective team, please come here." Qianyu's voice came from behind everyone, and Qianyu had retreated a few meters behind everyone, with a solemn look on his face and stroking a folded umbrella with both hands.

.

"Qianyu-san, what's wrong?" Ayumi asked as the detective team members came to Qianyu's side.

"Officer Megure, back off!" Qianyu suddenly shouted. "He is the murderer!"

"What?" Officer Megure was shocked when he heard this. He immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it at the ground. The other policeman followed suit. (Japan's regulations on police shootings in 1994 were very strict, almost pathological.)

"Hey!" The middle-aged uncle was shocked and immediately raised his hands above his head. "Little guy, are you kidding me? Mr. Police, you must not listen to what they say!"

"I saw it." Qianyu looked into the middle-aged man's eyes. "Just when other people saw the body and ran out in a hurry."

"I saw his face sticking out of the bathroom!" (The angle of the anime shows that if Qianyu stands in the right position, he can see the part of the murderer's face sticking out of the window)

"What!" The middle-aged man was shocked. "This, this is impossible!"

"Do you have anything else to explain?" Mu Mu said coldly.

"No...kid," the middle-aged man shouted as if he had remembered something. "Is the face you see without a beard?"

"Um..." Qianyu blinked and replied, "It doesn't seem like..."

"That's my brother! I was knocked unconscious from behind after I got out of the bath. When I woke up, he was gone." The middle-aged uncle explained desperately as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.

"Your brother?" Mumu put down the gun and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, please come in." The middle-aged uncle lost his previous domineering attitude and respectfully invited everyone into the house. As soon as he entered the door, a group photo attracted everyone's attention. In the photo,

A middle-aged uncle and a man who were almost identical except for his beard and eyebrows were standing together, smiling.

"Twin brothers..." Qianyu pondered.

"You just said that your brother did it?" Mumu asked, looking at the photo.

"Probably..." The middle-aged uncle nodded. "He has already escaped from the house."

"No one came out just now, I've been keeping tabs on them." Conan objected.

"There is a tree behind our house," the middle-aged uncle pointed to the door of a room next to him. "When my nephew was a guest, he used to pass through the door to the back yard and climb up the tree there.

Then you can climb over the wall, and on the other side of the wall is a passage next to the embankment, where a person can walk, and he also knows that way."

"What?" After hearing this, Mu Mu hurriedly came to the room and saw that the window was wide open, and a very majestic branch of a big tree in the courtyard happened to be placed on the wall. It was possible for anyone to get out from here.

.

"Tch!" Conan said harshly. "There is actually a place where he can get out... But, can he escape with the body?"

"Theoretically, it is possible. If you use the right techniques, you can even climb the tree and reach the top of the wall, drag the body up directly, and jump off together."

"It seems that this should be the case. Oh, by the way, what is your brother's name?" Memu asked.

"Tanaka Chishi." The middle-aged uncle replied quickly.

"Tanaka Chishi is wanted immediately!" Megure immediately ordered his subordinates.

"So, should I go up and sleep first? I suddenly feel so sleepy." The middle-aged man yawned. "I'm sleeping in the TV room upstairs. If you plan to search my house just in case, just don't make any noise.

It’s fine as long as it’s up to me.”

"Ah... no need, we just need to examine the crime scene and then leave immediately. We will post a wanted notice for Tanaka Chishi when we get back." Officer Megure waved his hand. "Little guys, you can go back too.

Let us leave the next matter to the police."

"Tch," before the middle-aged uncle walked upstairs, he heard the sound of Memu opening the bathroom door and the sound of complaints. "Has the scene been cleaned up as expected?"

A minute later, the police officers who returned without success left the mansion with the four reluctant detectives.

"Huh——" the middle-aged uncle showed a smile. "It's so dangerous..."

Fortunately, I had prepared to disguise myself as my brother before, so I was able to pass the test with luck. However, I was really reckless. I actually stuck my head out of the bathroom openly and was seen by that kid. However, my excuse was just a temporary solution.

, the body must be disposed of as soon as possible, such as sinking it into the embankment behind the courtyard, or directly using vinegar, strong acid and alkali treatment. Then he can directly pass the blame to his old identity, and then directly transform into his brother.

, but whether his original identity may implicate himself remains to be discussed...

However, now it's time to celebrate the victory.

"I will inherit your career, whether it is writing or life. I will no longer be like you, a parasite who only knows how to live in your brother's house, eat his brother's food and drink his brother's food, but I will be a literary giant of a generation! What do you think?

"Here," the middle-aged uncle came to the second floor and opened the door of the TV room. The body in the bathroom that the detective team had seen before was lying on the armchair in a bathrobe. "Brother?"

The extremely proud middle-aged uncle, Chishi Tanaka, couldn't help but ask this question.

Then, he heard the answer.
