Chapter 77

After knocking for nearly a minute, no one opened the door.

Mu Mu frowned, and put his ear against the door, trying to hear some clues, but he only caught the sound of a TV commercial: there was no dismembered corpse, or any other strange movements.

Mu Mu didn't know whether to knock on the door for a moment, but at this moment, a policeman shouted from downstairs, "Officer! Officer Mu Mu!"

Mu Mu said "Huh?", walked to the stairs, and looked down, "What's the matter?"

The little police officer who called him had quick legs and was already leading a person up the stairs. While climbing, he didn't delay the introduction, "Mr. Tanaka's younger brother is back!"

The stairs are not long, and while talking, the two of them were already standing in front of Mu Mu.

The man who came back was a man in a suit and leather shoes, who looked quite similar to Tanaka who came to open the door just now, but he didn't wear glasses, and he didn't have a beard above his lips, so it was easier to distinguish.

His temper also seemed to be better than that of Tanaka just now. Seeing so many policemen gathered in his home, he was not anxious. He just looked around and asked suspiciously, "May I ask what happened to my house?"

He has just arrived home, so he might not be a murderer, and his attitude is much better than the bathrobe man just now... Mu Mu felt that this young man was quite pleasing to the eye, and his tone eased a lot, "It's like this, a few children called the police just now, saying A body was found in your home."

Conan has been secretly following Shiroki and Meguro around, and as Meguro said, he patted Conan's head, but the latter pushed his hand away shamelessly.

Tomoshi Tanaka watched this scene, smiled gently, and began to introduce himself to Megure.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting with each other, Bai Shu wiped off his sweat, and interjected to ask Tanaka Zhishi, "Do you have the key to that room? Your brother locked the door, we want to go in and take a look. If there is no body, you can clear your suspicions."

"Oh, I have it." Tomoshi Tanaka began to touch his pocket, and when he moved, a small leaf fell silently from his cuff.

Mumu glanced at it, didn't care, thought it was some fallen leaves on the road, but Conan picked up the leaves suspiciously and stared at them for a while.

Tomoshi Tanaka quickly found the key. He walked to the door of the room surrounded by several police officers and knocked on the door to say hello, "Brother? I'm coming in."

Naturally, no one answered him inside.

Tomoshi Tanaka lowered his head and opened the lock, and said to Mumu with a wry smile, "My brother is very lethargic, and when he doesn't get enough sleep, he has a bad temper, but he is still good, and he will definitely not kill people and hide corpses."

Although Mumu had a good impression of Tomoshi Tanaka, he didn't have the slightest impression of that irritable brother, so he hummed noncommittally, and was ready to rush in immediately and get the stolen goods.

As a result, the door was pushed open, and he rushed in to see that Big Brother Tanaka was just leaning back in a chair and sleeping soundly, not disposing of the corpse at all.

"This..." My eyes froze for a moment, and I didn't even have a chance to say the line "Search carefully, don't miss any corner!" - This room is extraordinarily empty, and you can see the bottom at any corner at a glance. There is no need for a search.

In the whole room, there are only three or four pieces of furniture: a TV cabinet that is less than knee height, the TV that is playing, a small round table with four legs, and the chair in the middle of the room.

The TV cabinet and TV were not big enough, and there was nothing under the round table, and the chair was even less likely to hide the body: Brother Tanaka was sitting on it and dozing off.

15 minutes, even if there is time to dissect the body, it is absolutely too late to clean up the scene. There should be no dead bodies in this room.

After reaching the conclusion, Mu Mu's face flushed red.The police officers under him didn't get instructions for a long time, and felt a little embarrassed to be stuck here, so they searched spontaneously, pretending that they were busy.

One of them passed by the window and opened the heavy curtains casually. Outside the window, a tree with luxuriant branches stood there.

The tree is very tall, right between the window of this room and the courtyard wall, the branches of the tree are very close to the window, and you can grab it with your hand.

Mu Mu took a look, touched the leaves, and said with emotion, "The tree planted in your house is really good, it grows so tall."

"Ah? Haha, yes." Tomoshi Tanaka was a little absent-minded.

Mu Mu only thought that he was afraid of waking Brother Tanaka, so he didn't ask much.

Bai Shu followed into the room without a sense of presence, looked around, and quickly settled on the chair.

The person sitting on the chair was actually dead. At this moment, he was placed in a posture of resting his chin on one hand and holding the remote control in the other. However, the search personnel in the room found nothing abnormal.

Just as Bai Shu was about to walk over, he suddenly heard Tanaka Zhishi mumbling and complaining, "I don't turn off the TV when I'm sleeping, it's a waste of electricity."

As he spoke, a small part of the spare remote control stuck out of his cuff, and with a click, the TV was turned off.

His movements were subtle, and at first glance, it looked like the person on the chair with the remote had turned off the TV.

Tomoshi Tanaka quickly put on a surprised face, "Oh, I woke him up, let's go out!"

Mumu was also a little apprehensive about Big Brother Tanaka's temper, especially now that he didn't find the body, he was very wronged, and actually moved out, "Okay, let's go first."

The corner of Bai Shu's eyes twitched, is it so easy to deceive!

Tomoshi Tanaka rushed a group of people to the door, just showing a relaxed smile, but suddenly heard someone behind him say, "Police, please wait."

"Ah?", Mu Mu turned around in surprise, and found that Bai Shu not only didn't go out, but even got close to Big Brother Tanaka at some point, holding his wrist with one hand.

... let go!It's too rude, you will be scolded!
Mu Mu just wanted to say this, but who knows that there is someone who is more anxious than him.

Tanaka Zhishi turned pale, rushed back to the chair, and slapped Bai Shu's hand, "I... my brother doesn't like to be disturbed when he sleeps, don't touch him!"

"Is that so?" Bai Shu let go, took a step back, and looked at Tomoshi Tanaka with indescribable eyes.

The latter was sweating from his stare, and his fingers trembled a little. He wanted to drive this person out quickly, but he didn't know how to speak.

Mu Mu felt something was wrong, and returned to the room, "Fujiwara, what's going on?"

Bai Shu pointed to the person on the chair, "Just now I smelled a bloody smell on his body, so I couldn't help but take a closer look, and found...he seems to be dead."

"What?!", shocked, rushed to the chair with a kind of agility that didn't fit his figure, squeezed away Tanaka Zhishi next to him, and felt the pulse of the person on the chair.

... really stopped dancing.

Bai Shu approached, pointed to the towel wrapped around the neck of the corpse, raised his hand knowingly and pressed it, when he retracted, his fingertips were already stained with blood.
