Funako Nakai stood up and left the area near the sliding door, standing in the living room, curiously looking at Chi Feichi and Conan looking for clues.
"Is there any uneaten bento in the refrigerator?" Conan turned around and looked around. His eyes quickly locked on the trash can in the corner. He walked to the trash can and reached out to flip through the paper balls in the trash can. "If
If you can find the shopping invoice, you should be able to know exactly when the bento and cake were purchased..."
"Although I don't know when I bought the things, I looked at the refrigerator when I came here yesterday. At that time, there were already uneaten lunch boxes and cakes in the refrigerator. I think they were put away by Hikone-sama before he disappeared the day before yesterday.
Come in!" Funako Nakai also walked to the trash can. When she saw Conan unfolding two pieces of paper, she bent over and said, "Huh? Is this a letter from Hikone-sama?"
"No, it seems to be a crime story..." Conan put the paper ball into the trash can, walked to the middle of the living room, and looked up at the books on the bookshelf next to him. "There are also many books on the bookshelf to guide writing. Is it Mr. Hikone?
Are you a writer?"
"I don't know either...wait a minute!" Nakai Funako refreshed and began to think about it again, "Could it be that that crime plan is actually just the work of Hikone-sama? He is a hard-working novelist.
The purchase status of the jewelry store and the layout of the store were all imagined by him, so Funaki couldn't find the jewelry store mentioned in the notebook. Ahhh... As expected of Hikone-sama, he could actually imagine such a thing.
The real details of the incident, he is simply the god of creation!"
"Actually, I'm not sure yet..."
Before Conan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.
“Dingle bell…Dingle bell…”
Conan walked to the desk, looked at the ringing landline phone, then turned to look at Chi Feichi who was walking next to him, "Brother Chi..."
"You come and pick him up." Chi Feichi said, walking up to Conan and squatting down.
Conan nodded, picked up the receiver, and answered the phone, "Hello..."
"This is the monthly editorial office of Dianbun Publishing House," the man on the other side of the phone heard the child's voice and asked politely, "Is Mr. Hikone Kazuma here?"
Conan's childlike voice is cute, "He is not at home now..."
"Are you his family member?" the man on the other end of the phone continued, "The novel "Crime Plan" he had previously received from the editorial department was well received at our editorial meeting, and we decided to publish it in our
The monthly newspaper requires him to come to the publishing house to discuss the specific details of publication and remuneration. If Mr. Hikone comes home, please tell him and ask him to contact us as soon as possible, okay?"
"Okay, I understand..."
"Then I won't bother you."
After hanging up the phone, Funako Nakai, who was listening to the side, smiled happily, "It's true! Funaqi was really right. So Funaqi also has the talent to be a detective, right? Now it happened.
In a magical twist, Hikone-sama is actually an excellent novel writer, and his work will be published soon, while Fonaki is a detective girl with a strong sense of reasoning..."
Conan didn't listen to what Funako Nakai was mumbling. After putting the phone receiver back, he absentmindedly sorted out his thoughts.
If that "Crime Plan" is just a novel, then where is Mr. Hikone who has been missing for two days... huh?
A hand put on Conan's shoulder, interrupting Conan's thoughts.
Chi Feichi was still squatting behind Conan, put his right hand on Conan's shoulder, passed around Conan with his left hand, placed a small mirror in front of him between the landline phone and the printer, and adjusted the angle of the mirror so that the mirror reflected one side of the room.
The wall, whispered, "Did you see the crack in the wall?"
The mirror reflected a crack in the wall.
The crack was about ten centimeters long and one meter high from the ground, which was higher than the height of the table in the room.
Fei Chi had crawled under the crack at some point. He supported his body on the floor with his belly against the wall and tried to crawl along the wall towards the crack above his head. However, because the crack was some distance from the floor, Fei Chi slipped down before he could reach the crack.
Go down.
"That crack is connected to the next door," Chi Feichi reminded in a low voice, "people next door can see what's going on in this room through the crack."
"You mean, we can go find the neighbor next door to find out the situation? If someone lives next door, we do need to go find the neighbor to find out the situation, but normal people wouldn't peek at their neighbors through small holes in the wall, right? His neighbor
uncertain……"
Conan whispered, and suddenly felt that he was being stared at by a line of sight. He was stunned for a moment, turned his head slightly, and looked at Funako Nakai who was still thinking casually next to him. After confirming that it was not Funako Nakai who was staring at him, he frowned.
He frowned and said softly, "Brother Chi, did you feel it? Someone seemed to be looking at us just now..."
They had searched the room just now, and now there were only three of them in the room. Brother Chi squatted behind him and looked at the mirror in front of them. Miss Funach was looking at the floor and chattering, not staring at him.
Then who did the sight he felt come from?
Could it be that the next door neighbor is really peeking into this room through the crack?
But it’s not right. The crack is very narrow. If the neighbor next door wants to peek into the room, he can only put his face against the wall and look through the crack. With the width of the crack, the neighbor can see at most the opposite side.
The cracked table makes it impossible to see them here...
"I feel it too," Chi Feichi responded in a low voice. After the feeling of being stared at disappeared, he adjusted the mirror in front of him with his hand and pointed the mirror to the wall on the other side. "The crack next to the cabinet also
It is connected to the next door and is about one meter sixty-seven meters above the ground. The line of sight that looked at us just now must have come from there."
Conan: "..."
()
Hey hey, what's going on with this house...
There is a crack in the wall on the left side of the room, which leads to the neighbor's house on the left. There is a crack in the wall on the right, which leads to the neighbor's house on the right. The neighbors on the left and right want to know what is going on in the house. They can see who lives in this house by lying on the wall.
, is there any privacy at all?
The house is in such a dilapidated state. Doesn’t the owner plan to repair it?
Chi Feichi put away the mirror, did not stand up in a hurry, and continued to lower his voice to remind Conan, "On the table facing the gap in the wall on the left, there are traces of a laptop placed, but after we entered, the room
The laptop was not found anywhere. If the laptop was not taken away by Mr. Hikone, then someone entered the house and took the computer."
Conan looked at the table and saw that there were indeed traces of a laptop on the table. He nodded and said softly, "The people next door may still be staring at this place. Let's leave this room first."
"Just say you're hungry."
Chi Feichi whispered a word and stood up.
Conan immediately started acting, stretched out his hand to touch his stomach, turned to look at Chi Feichi, and said in a cute childish voice, "Brother Chi, I'm hungry, let's go eat first!"
After saying that, Conan walked to Nakai Funako again, reached out and took Nakai Funako's hand and shook it, "Miss Funaqi, I'm so hungry..."
"Ah?" Funako Nakai came back to her senses and looked at Conan blankly, "Are you hungry?"
"Since the crime plan is just a novel written by Mr. Hikone, we don't have to worry about him committing a crime. There are no signs of fighting in the house, and he is probably not kidnapped. Maybe he just went to a friend's house," Chi Feichi started.
Walking towards the door, "We don't have to be too anxious to find him. We can go have lunch first and think about where to find him while eating."
"That's right!" Nakai Funako didn't think much. Seeing Chi Feichi and Conan walking out, she quickly followed, "To thank you two for helping me find Hikone-sama, I'll treat you two to dinner. Please treat both adults."
