Shiraishi leaned down, looked at the scratches on the keyhole, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "It's really ugly to pry it open."
"?" Conan thought for a moment that he had heard wrong. This was not something Shiraishi would say.
But when he thought about it, he understood again. Maybe he had seen too many black cats picking locks, and his standards had been raised accordingly.
Shiraishi came back to his senses and straightened his expression: "I mean, this may be a crime committed by a novice, or a trace left intentionally." He knocked twice on the door lock, "I don't deal with the keyhole, just scratch it on the side.
, can this really be pried open?"
Conan also learned to pick locks in Hawaii. He looked at it carefully and agreed with Shiraishi's statement.
However, Shiraishi actually used the word "commit a crime" directly, as if he was sure that a crime would happen here.
...That's right. With his physique and calm surroundings, he could find a body at any time, let alone such obvious pry marks right in front of him. It would be surprising if nothing happened.
After entering the door, Shiraishi opened the shoe cabinet by the door and took a look - mainly to show Conan next to him, so that he would not appear too abrupt when he ran to find the "kidnapped" naughty child later.
Conan cooperated and looked into the shoe cabinet and found that there were two sizes of shoes, one large and one small, but judging from the style, they were all men's shoes.
He was startled, and his eyes passed through the corridor and fell on Quantum Akagi who was looking for black tea in the living room. His face gradually became serious: "This is not her home."
After a pause, he was a little confused: "But I don't think she is a bad person."
Shiraishi nodded, indeed.
The criminals in this world are all adults, and even if there are juvenile delinquents, they are often many years old. And "Akagi Quantum" looks quite small no matter how you look at it, like a serious high school student.
Conan may not have realized that "minors will not commit crimes", but his ability to identify the murderer probably came into play here.
The question marks in Conan's mind gradually increased, and he became more and more convinced of Shiraishi's judgment that "something happened here."
He was thinking about the shoe cabinet when he suddenly heard a soft knock on the door.
Turning around, I saw that it was Shiraishi who had pushed the door to the side open a crack.
There is a cute door sign hanging on that door, which reads "Small Mamoru" in katakana. It seems to be a child's room.
Shiraishi shouldn't be able to break in without any trouble, there must be something abnormal in that room.
With this thought in mind, Conan immediately leaned over and peeked through the crack in the door, feeling a thump in his heart.
——The room was very messy, as if it had been through a violent struggle. The tables and stools all fell to the floor, and the things originally placed on them were scattered all over the floor. A huge plush creature was curled up in the corner with a miserable belly.
A knife was inserted into the house, and the whole room was a textbook version of a "crime scene."
"Home invasion!?" Conan was startled by this sight.
He recalled the shoe size he had just seen and felt that "Mamoru" should be a very young child.
At this time, kindergarten and elementary school should have ended, but in this house, there is only one foreign "Akagi Quantum", no children, and this room is the only one in chaos...
Conan changed his guess: "Kidnapping?"
He looked at Shiraishi and found that Shiraishi's expression was quite calm. The neighbor walked around the room and concluded calmly: "It looks like an abduction by an acquaintance. Or the child got lost and someone took advantage of it."
, disguised as kidnapping.”
Conan was startled.
He was confused for a moment, but he didn't ask "why" or anything like that, and he quickly came to his senses.
——Indeed, regardless of the overly obvious "newbie scratches" on the door lock, in this room alone, traces of fighting were almost everywhere, and even the items on the top of the cabinet were thrown to the ground, for fear that others would not know that something happened here.
Same thing.
Normally, if a kidnapper wants to take away a child, he won't make such a big fuss.
If you are good enough to fight with a child of several years old in the room, and you are still considered a kidnapper, you might as well go back to the kindergarten and start over again.
Therefore, the more chaotic the room is, the more peaceful the atmosphere was when the child was taken away - the kidnapper did not even experience the real process of kidnapping a child, but was just faking the scene based on his usual impressions.
Regardless of whether the kidnapping method is force or abduction, the child is now in a very dangerous situation. However, if an acquaintance deceives the child, the process of finding the suspect will undoubtedly be much easier than finding a stranger.
Shiraishi walked around the room twice, feeling that his spoilers had enough theoretical basis, and then walked to the living room.
Akagi Quantum had already found black tea at this time, brewed several hot cups, and placed them on the dining table.
But she obviously had no intention of drinking tea, and kept her anxious eyes fixed on the TV.
There is a live broadcast of the football finals on TV. One team is called Tokyo Aoyama and the other is Osaka Gosho. Both are currently 0:0.
Among them, Qingshan team's "Wonderful Ah Xiong" keeps making passing mistakes, which is obviously inconsistent with the strength of the young star who was greatly touted in previous reports.
Quantum Akagi stared at the close-up of Hero Akagi on the screen, his face extremely ugly, and he prayed in his heart that Kudo Shinichi would come over quickly.
At this time, the dining chair opposite was pulled open with a creak. She saw the young man sitting opposite her, holding a tea cup and watching TV. He suddenly said: "The one who was kidnapped was his brother? What is their relationship with you?"
"
"...!?" This sentence contained a lot of information. Akagi Quantum buzzed in his ears. He turned his head and subconsciously covered his mouth, suspecting that he had said something he shouldn't have said when he was distracted.
He was obviously just pretending to be Kudo Shinichi's girlfriend and invited these people to his house to play. How did he come out with the incident and the characters?
Shiraishi looked at the screen. On the TV were all the faces of passers-by. Only Hero Akagi stood out from the crowd with his pair of big Kudo Shinichi eyes.
With this protagonist's face, Shiraishi became more and more convinced that his "reasoning" was correct.
Akagi Quantum was still staring at him in disbelief for a while. She suddenly felt that Shiraishi looked a little familiar from this angle.
She subconsciously recalled her memories, and suddenly an idea flashed through her, and she became a little excited:
"Are you the detective in Tatsuya's case? I heard that you can solve cases while sleeping. I, I am a fan of Tatsuya. I have collected newspapers from that case before, and they have your photos on them. But they are black and white.
, and it was a bit far away, so the photo was not very clear..."
Solving crimes while sleeping?
Haibara Ai looked at Quantum Akagi in confusion, thinking that Bai Shi did often sleep and occasionally solved cases, but he had never done both at the same time.
At this time, she felt that Conan's expression next to her was not right, and he seemed to feel guilty.
Haiyuan Ai thought of Conan's voice-changing bow and understood.
He actually used Shiraishi as a speaker... Conan should put a few times more salt in his dish tonight.
