Chapter 37: Cold

"By the way, there are really only a few things in this room..."

"Well, this is my brother's habit, he likes to arrange the room neatly..."

Officer Megure looked around at the clean room and couldn't help but say.

Senichi, who was at the side, also walked to the window and opened the curtains to see the scenery outside.

There was a high wall outside the window, and a big tree was planted in the backyard next to the wall, even higher than the four-meter-high wall.

And in the room, Tanaka Tomofumi looked at his sleeping brother and complained, "Brother really, turn off the TV, if you sleep..."

"Crack!"

Just as the other party's voice fell, the TV that was broadcasting the baseball finals was suddenly turned off.

"It's not good! We seem to have woken him up!" Tomofumi Tanaka helped push Senichi, Police Officer Megure, and Conan to drive the three of them out of the outer door.

When he came outside the door, Tomofumi Tanaka looked at Megure and said politely: "Mr. Police Officer, you should have searched all the rooms...?"

"That's true, that's right, I didn't see a corpse at all..." Police Officer Megure was a little embarrassed, and then looked angrily at the young detective team: "You little brats, give me a good explanation!!"

"We are telling the truth! We really saw the corpse!"

"There must be a mechanism like a secret room in the villa!!"

"The corpse must have been hidden there!!"

"That's right!! That's definitely the case!!"

The three little ones talked one after the other, and their insistent appearance made Police Officer Megure unconsciously turn his head to look at Tomofumi Tanaka, as if he was asking the other party if there was such a thing.

"It's not like I'm making a movie, how could there be such a thing?" Tomofumi Tanaka waved his hands repeatedly.

"Officer Megure, the corpse may have been moved out!" Conan said after pondering for a moment.

"Nani?" Police Officer Megure looked at Conan and said strangely: "But when we just arrived at the scene, didn't you say that no one entered or exited this room?"

"It's true to say that, but I can't see the situation behind the house from the phone booth at the main entrance." Conan said.

"But you've also seen that there is a very high wall behind this house. No matter how strong you are, it's impossible to climb over with the corpse on your back." Police Officer Megure thought for a while.

"That's what I thought when I saw that wall, that's why I'm so sure that no one can enter or leave the room...

But then I saw the tree planted in the yard again... Then it is completely possible. If the corpse is fastened to the body, then it is completely possible to climb the tree and climb over the high wall. "

It is not without evidence that Conan said this. When Tomofumi Tanaka led the crowd upstairs, he noticed a leaf falling from his trouser leg which is indeed a very noteworthy evidence.

However, he really wanted to check if Conan miscalculated. Officer Megure directly called two police officers to carry out the experiment. Although it was very difficult, they found that it was completely impossible after climbing over the wall.

Because there is a river embankment outside the high wall, there is no way to go down from such a high place.

And although there is a passage to walk through, the width is only about 40 centimeters. It is very difficult for an adult to walk normally, and he can almost only walk with his back against the wall in the crab step method.

But here is the problem. If you carry a corpse on your back, even if it is a crab step with this width, they will fall directly into the river below.

"Since we can't get the body out, and we can't find a dead body in the house, then you must be lying!" Police Officer Megure looked at the Detective Boys and said unkindly.

"I, we didn't lie!"

"Well... Officer Meguro, I think, we don't have to go back in such a hurry. " Just when Officer Megure was about to turn around and leave, Senichi, who was silent at the side, suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Senichi-kun, have you found something?" Police Officer Megure looked at this elite rookie who had just recently joined but showed outstanding abilities, with a look of anticipation on his face.

"Things are all clear." Senichi chuckled and looked at Tomofumi Tanaka and said meaningfully: "Someone played a double act in front of us."

"What do you mean?"

Police Officer Megure looked puzzled, but Tomofumi Tanaka on the other side couldn't hold back his suppressed expression, and his panic expression was directly revealed.

Senichi smiled at Tomofumi Tanaka, and then quickly walked directly into the house.

"You... what are you doing!"

Tomofumi Tanaka saw Senichi's movements and hurriedly chased after him. Senichi entered the house and was about to step up the stairs on the second floor. Tomofumi Tanaka wanted to stop Senichi in a panic, but he couldn't stop Senichi completely.

Until Senichi walked towards his brother's room, Tomofumi Tanaka completely changed his face, looked at Senichi and said in a bad tone: "My brother is sleeping, do you want to wake him up!? He has a very violent temper. you saw it too!"

"Oh? Then I really want him to lose his temper."

Senichi just continued to go forward like no one else, but Tanaka Tomofumi' expression turned grim, "Get out of here!! You policemen who just broke into other people's homes, what right do you have to be so presumptuous!!"

Talking about Tomofumi Tanaka, he wanted to grab Senichi's clothes and throw them out, but Senichi dodged it directly, grabbed the opponent's arm with his backhand and twisted it, the pain made Tomofumi Tanaka unconsciously half-kneel on the ground.

"Senichi-kun...isn't it a little..." Police officer Megure hesitated and wanted to stop him. In his opinion, it was really not good to provoke the other party so much.

"Officer Megure, please go and see Tanaka Tomofumi's elder brother in the bedroom, and try to wake him up."

"En? Try to wake it up? Senichi-kun, what do you mean?"

Police Officer Megure felt a little strange when he heard Senichi's words. His words were really weird.

Senichi looked at the flustered Tomofumi Tanaka, and said calmly, "I'm afraid you also know that no matter how we shout, we can't wake up your brother.

After all, your brother is already dead, isn't he! "

"Nani!?" Officer Megure was startled when he heard this, and quickly entered the room.

When he came to the reclining chair, Police Officer Megure tentatively pushed the right arm supporting his cheek, but the other party fell down like a puppet.

Police officer Megure looked serious and hurried forward to check, but found that the other party had already lost his breath when he put his fingers on the neck, and he didn't even feel a trace of temperature feedback from the hand touching his skin.

There is no doubt that he is dead, and has become cold, as the literal meaning, the body has become cold.

It can be said that the dead can no longer die.
