Chapter 124: The Cat in the Bathroom

Tuesday, May 7th, Tedan Primary School.

In the afternoon, after school, the four members of the detective team who were on duty sat together and shared the wonderful experiences of the past few days during the continuous break. Hearing that the three of Yuantai were having a big meal and traveling, recalling the painful experience of the past few days, Conan stood up and went to play football next to him.

There is a lot of bonuses, a full five hundred thousand, which is definitely enough to eat big meals and travel. However, as long as this money goes into Mao Li’s pocket, and then you want him to use it and spend it in these places, then really...

There is a big meal, and it is big enough. The dinner that day is, a big, no, a huge pie, which can't fit on the tea table, but can only be placed on the desk. Put it away, and ate two more meals the next day, and finished it at night. On the second day, the first day, Maori fulfilled his promise and took them out, and they ate ramen for lunch. From Conan's point of view, when Maori ate the pie the next night, he also bit the bullet and ate it. Because in the next few days, I never ate anything with a similar taste.

There are also tours, still for a few days, but they are all one-day tours in Tokyo. Starting from the 1st, all kinds of large art galleries, museums, exhibitions, etc. near Mihua Town, as long as you don’t spend money to buy tickets, you can visit them. Went for a turn. Mei Daizi's Mihua Art Museum has also been there, it has become very large and luxurious, with many valuable artworks added, and more works by newcomers.

For this reason, Lan also protested, but Maori said that Conan didn't live in Tokyo, and he had never seen these things. Children should read more and gain some knowledge. This is good for Conan. With Lan, Conan also recognized it.

However, they ate ramen at noon these days, and Delan and Conan couldn't stand it for three days. When they were resting at Mei Dai Restaurant on the night of the third, they took the map and studied it for two consecutive days. One night, with the help of Yamazaki, Mei Daiko, Kaito and Qingzi, a carefully planned course of action was finally released.

At noon on the 5th, after searching around but not finding a restaurant that suits them, Maori had to take them to a high-end ramen restaurant. After Lan and Conan deliberately ordered, Maori spent a total of 15,000 yuan. So, Maori said that after playing for so many days, you are also tired, take a rest and get ready to go to school. At this point, the tour is over.

By the way, I have also been to the amusement park, a free children's amusement park in the park, but seeing those little guys, Conan retreated and slipped away immediately.

Also, Maori didn't come back until very late in the past few nights. He didn't come back until 11:30, after Lan fell asleep, and went to take a shower when he came back. Although Conan didn't smell the perfume on his body, and he could only smell oily smoke from his clothes, Maori had a bad habit of talking in his sleep. After three nights of indistinct sleep talking, Conan was sure, This guy went to a high-end tavern to drink flower wine. But hearing that he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, Conan gave up his plan to report to Lan.

At this time, the three members of the detective team chatted about the business of the detective team. After yawning, the head of the group, Yuan Tai, sighed, "Really, why didn't anything happen during this holiday?"

"In this way, no customers will come to the door," Mitsuhiko said, "Our young detective team will have no way to act."

"Oh," Ayumi said with a sigh, "When will there be a commission?"

"Of course," Conan said to himself as he saw the three of them lying listlessly on the table, tipping the ball. "If it's so simple and there are clients, the detective won't have to work so hard."

At this time, a voice came from the door, "Well, I have something to do, can I ask you?"

Conan hugged the ball and took a look,

A boy who was about the same age as the three members of the detective team entered.

"No problem." The three of Yuantai rushed up immediately.

"You're that Hao Shu from the class next door, right?" Yuan Tai happily asked loudly, "What's the matter, it's a murder, isn't it?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ayumi happily asked loudly: "If it's not a fraud incident?"

Seeing that he still didn't answer, Mitsuhiko happily asked loudly: "It must be the investigation of the parents' affair?"

Ayumi smiled and said: "Tell me quickly, what kind of incident, our young detective team can solve it."

Seeing that Haoshu opened his mouth and did not speak, Conan thought to himself that he was so frightened by you that he couldn't speak from ear to ear.

"No, it's not," Hao Shu quickly replied when he came back to his senses, "It's just that our family's Akila suddenly disappeared last night."

"The missing incident." The three members of the detective team shouted in surprise.

Mitsuhiko said: "This may also be an abduction incident."

"So, what about the photo, what does the child look like?" Yuan Tai asked.

Haoshu said: "Here is the photo, you can see it." He took out a photo as he spoke.

"Cat, cat!" The three members of the detective team exclaimed in surprise.

Yuan Tai asked angrily: "Could it be that you just said that it was this cat that suddenly disappeared?"

"It's a pity," Conan said with a smile, "it's not an abduction incident." After speaking, Conan stood on tiptoe again.

Hao Shu said: "The search fee is ten yuan per person."

"Ten, ten yuan?" Yuan Tai asked rhetorically.

"No, no," Mitsuhiko said, shaking his hand, "We only deal with more difficult events." After speaking, he turned and walked back.

"Maybe in a few days, the cat will run back by itself." Ayumi comforted, and then walked back.

"What, why are you doing this?" Hao Shu called out.

Yuan Tai said: "Okay, okay, let's go back." After finishing speaking, he also went back.

"Really," Hao Shu turned and walked out, turned his head and said before leaving, "I thought, if you find it for me, I will give you Kamen Rider's card."

"Ah?" The three members of the detective team immediately looked back in surprise.

Taking out four golden Kamen Rider cards, Hao Shu said, "Look, I collected these." Just after he finished speaking, he felt light in his hand, and the three cards disappeared. The three members of the detective team got it.

"Fake, Kamen Rider's card," Ayumi said, "is real."

"And," Mitsuhiko said in surprise, "this is quite rare..."

Yuan Tai, the head of the Boy Detective Corps, shouted excitedly: "Super Gold Card!"

Putting the card into the pocket, the three members of the detective team rushed forward, held Haoshu's hand enthusiastically, and shouted happily: "We decided to accept it."

"Crack!" Conan, who was stunned, was hit by a football on his head, and then complained: "What are you talking about?" However, Conan has never had a say in this kind of matter ,so……

After asking the police to no avail, after looking for all the places where cats might go near Haoshu's house, beside the trash can in the alley, in the corner of the small park, in the dark under the stairs, on the tree and on the wall, etc., After more than two hours, the detective team still found no trace of the cat.

While walking on the road, looking for it, Yuan Tai complained: "Damn it, I can't find it."

"It's strange," Mitsuhiko said, "Didn't it disappear yesterday? It should still be around here. How could it disappear?"

"Hey," Yuantai asked, "We have worked very hard, the card should be ours."

Haoshu refused and said, "No, you must find it."

Looking at the sky, Conan asked, "By the way, does the cat you mentioned have any habits or characteristics?"

"Well, so to speak, Akila is different from other cats," Hao Shu said, "Its cry is very special, just like this..." He pulled his mouth with both hands, "Yeah!" Learned to call out.

This is a voice, "Ahhhhh!"

Hao Shu said quickly, "Yes, that's the voice."

Conan immediately asked, "Where did the voice come from?"

Pointing to the house next to her, Ayumi said, "That's the house."

Conan took a look. This building is a single family, a two-story building with a yard. The gate of the yard is an iron gate, and the gap between the railings can also pass through for cats. So, there's a real possibility that the cat could get in when people aren't looking.

Hao Shu leaned against the iron railing and called the cat's name loudly several times. The cat crawled out of a window on the first floor of this house. But its appearance surprised the five people, because it was covered in red, and it was unknown if it was injured. When it ran over and hugged it in his arms, Conan found that it was really blood, but it had dried up, and there was no wound on the cat.

So, Conan immediately turned into the yard, pushed down the trash can, turned it upside down, put it under the window, and climbed up, but when he was about to look inside, he was squeezed down by the three detectives who followed. After climbing up again, Conan looked at the scene inside, and immediately, like the three members of the detective team, was stunned.

This is a bathroom, the inside is filled with steam, which should be caused by the hot water in the bathtub, and there is a person in the bathtub, but the four detectives are also stunned because the man is lying in the bathtub , Seeing that his whole body is not underwater, he looks motionless, and the back of the bathrobe is also full of red, it should be blood, so to speak, he is already dead.

After regaining consciousness, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were so frightened that they ran out of the yard yelling, and Conan followed suit. He was going to report the crime, and he used the telephone booth opposite the house, and then climbed onto it , to monitor the house.

Ten minutes later, the Mumu Police Department came, and he asked, "You guys called the police. Did you really find the body?"

Yuantai and the three replied: "It's true."

"Absolutely not wrong, Megure Police Department," said Conan, sitting on the phone booth, "and after we found the remains, no one came out of that house. That is to say, the remains are still there .”

So, the Mumu Police Department knocked on the door of this house. The door was opened by a middle-aged man in a bathrobe, bath towel, and gold-rimmed glasses. He asked angrily: "What's the matter, it's really noisy."

Showing his ID, the Mumu Police Department explained: "I am the Mumu Police Department. These children said that a body was found in your house."

"Remains?" The man in the bathrobe asked back in surprise.

Conan said: "Yes, we saw it clearly."

Ayumi said, "That man is in the bathroom."

Mitsuhiko said: "The whole body is covered in blood in the bathtub."

Yuan Tai said: "He was lying in the water."

"Hmph, really," the man in the bathrobe smiled, "How is this possible? I have been using the bathroom until just now." Then he pointed his thumb behind and said, "Look, the one at the end of the corridor is there."

The Mumu Police Department said: "Then, please let us go and take a look." After finishing speaking, he walked in without waiting for his answer, and Conan and the others followed.

However, when everyone opened the bathroom door and looked, they were immediately shocked. There was nothing inside, let alone a body.

"Mr. Police, look, there is no body at all, isn't there?" the man in the bathrobe said, "These brats must be playing a prank."

"But, we really saw it." Conan said seriously, "In this bathtub, there is a man covered in blood lying on his stomach."

"Yes." Mitsuhiko called.

"That's right." Ayumi also called.

"It must have been hidden by this old uncle." Yuan Tai shouted.

The man in the bathrobe shouted angrily, "What are you talking about?"

Looking at his watch, the Mumu Police Department said: "After we received your report, it took us about fifteen minutes to arrive here. I think ten minutes is enough time for hiding the body."

"That's really stupid," said the man in the bathrobe. "Then I'll let you find your happiness. I'm going to sleep on the second floor." Then he walked towards the stairs next to the entrance.

Megure Police Department asked: "It doesn't matter how we search, does it?"

"It's okay, because I don't have anything shameful here." Turning around, the man in the bathrobe said, "If you have any questions, just ask my brother, he will be back soon." Then he laughed , "Hey, but you take the kid's pranks seriously and work so hard, the police are really busy." Then he went upstairs with a smile.

"Damn it." Mumu Police Department said to himself.

When the police officers entered the house, the Mumu police department ordered: "Look for it quickly, the body must be in this room, don't miss any corner, and definitely find the body for me." Then he ordered the forensic personnel, "Give me a thorough inspection of the bathroom, especially the bathtub."  …
