I really can't control myself

I have to say, what Conan said is really a good idea. If this isn't a JING investigation, why don't we also interview the people around us to see if they can provide any clues? Linton really didn't expect it for a moment. It seems that bringing Conan here has some benefits. At least he is more professional than Linton in professional projects.

There were not many neighbors around, so Linton decided to ask about the situation. So after some discussion, Linton took Conan to the nearby area to inquire, while Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai stayed here to sort out the information, because there was indeed a lot of information on site, and they might have missed something. Please help.

As for taking Conan with him, after all, he has strong observation skills, so he might make some discoveries or something.

So Linton also took Conan to visit the surrounding neighbors. The first person they visited was the house on their left. The house number said Ito's house.

This should be a petty bourgeoisie family. The husband lives here with his wife. The husband went to work. The wife opened the door a little cautiously and chatted with Linton and Conan.

Although Linton looked suspicious, Conan was just a child, and no one would bring a primary school student to commit a crime. So although the other party was wary, they still talked about a lot of things.

It's a pity that the other party hasn't moved here for a long time, just over half a year, so he has never met Kaneki Ken next door at all. As for the previous owner, they didn't know each other very well. The house was bought and the relationship between the two parties was just a transaction. They don't know where the other party has moved now.

Not much was gained. Linton and Conan soon came to another house nearby. I looked at the door number of this house and it still said Ito. This surprised Linton, but after thinking about it, Ito should be a relatively common surname in Japan, such as Kaiji Ito and Junji Ito, but I didn't expect that the two families lived so close to each other.

Knocked on the door, and soon a forty-year-old lady holding a cat walked out of the room. She was a bit chubby and round, with eyes that looked quite elegant. And Linton soon understood why the other party was not afraid of him and opened the door so openly and came out, because the other party had a badge on his chest.

Linton also knew that some Japanese professionals would wear various badges to indicate their identities. The badge worn by Ms. Ito in front of him had a scale symbol in the middle, indicating that the other party was a lawyer. Probably because of this status, the other party was not too afraid of anything.

The other party was also very skilled in business. Although they were just chatting, he quickly handed over his business card. Sure enough, he is a lawyer named Misari Ito. Linton said that he was introduced to someone who wanted to buy the Jinmu family's house next door. He would probably move here soon and be a neighbor, so he would visit the surrounding neighbors first.

As they were talking, of course Kaneki Ken was mentioned, and Conan next to him also helped guide the conversation. Misari Ito obviously didn't hear anything unusual here, and also talked about Kaneki Ken.

"I do know that young man and have spoken to him, but I'm not very familiar with him." Misari Ito said, "There was a time when I saw him going out from nine to five. He should be working, but then there was a period of time. He doesn’t go out very often, I suspect he might have been fired from the company or something.”

Misari Ito talked about the gossip with some proficiency. Being fired from the company is a very big deal in Nippon. After all, companies generally have a lifelong working system. Most people work for one company for their whole life. It is rare to change jobs. matter. After losing his job and now selling his house to Linton, Misari Ito obviously felt that Kaneki Ken was bankrupt or something.

Linton did receive some information, that is, Kaneki Ken's stay in this world was surprisingly long. You see, Linton usually stays in a world for more than ten days, or at most a few months. After all, he has to do tasks here, and the time for the tasks is limited.

But Kaneki Ken is different. According to Misari Ito, Kaneki Ken has lived here for at least 2 years, which is somewhat beyond Linton's expectation. Why did he spend so long in this world?

Linton knew that this world was definitely not the opponent's main world, because this world was a world he took over that had not yet been explored, and according to his own situation, the main world should be a low-threat world sent by the system that had been completed. Just can't do it. Then why did Kaneki Ken choose to stay here for so long instead of staying in the main world? Is Haihara Ai so fragrant?

Or maybe Misari Ito didn't notice that the other party left this world? After all, she also said that although she knew her, she wasn't that familiar. Maybe the other person looked like he was at home, but he actually went to another world? But no matter how he thought about it, Kaneki Ken also valued this world too much. Linton was really surprised that he valued it so much. When he took over the world, he seemed to have only explored 40% of it, but after the fusion, it became 20%...

This makes it somewhat unclear what is going on with him. But Linton felt that the other party had lived in the house next door for two years, and the things he left behind should be more than just copied documents. So I still need to turn it over again?

While thinking about it, I chatted with the other party for about ten minutes. Misari Ito here may have felt that she didn’t want to continue, so she said that she had to go in to feed the cat. Linton didn't force it, and the two parties said goodbye to each other.

But just when Misari Ito opened the door and was about to go home, Conan suddenly glanced at the situation inside the door, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Aunt Ito, are you the only one at home? ?"

"Oh, yes, I'm alone now." Misari Ito replied casually.

"Huh?" After hearing this, Linton had already turned around and left, but suddenly turned back to look at Misari Ito in surprise.

Conan was also stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything immediately. But Misari Ito quickly said: "It's okay, I'll be busy first."

As she said this, she also closed the door, but Conan began to frown.

"Haha..." Linton suddenly laughed softly, but he didn't say much and walked directly outside, "Let's go to the next house..."

"Um...wait a moment..." Conan hesitated for a long time and then said.

"Oh oh oh, did you see something wrong? You're welcome, just say it boldly." Linton said with a smile.

Yes, if Linton said that, then of course he has already discovered the problem. He didn't know what Conan had discovered, because he and Conan had different ideas. Conan probably saw something and found something wrong with Misari Ito's words, so he asked if he was a person.

Linton sensed through the breath, and of course he knew that there was more than one person in the room in front of him. In addition to Misari Ito who greeted them, there were many people in the room, five in total.

Of course, Linton didn't pay attention at first. The purpose of sensing the scent before was to confirm whether the neighbor's family was there. If they weren't there, they wouldn't have to knock on the door, right? So Linton just thought that the other party's family was at home. However, Misari Ito concealed this matter and answered that she was alone. That was obviously problematic.

Coupled with the fact that Conan was nearby, although Linton couldn't remember what the case was, he knew that something had obviously happened. So as expected, my guess was correct at all. With Conan as the god of death, how could he not encounter a case? This was not brought to his doorstep.

What’s funny is that Conan himself came up with the idea of ​​asking his neighbors, and now it’s him who realizes something is wrong. He’s digging a hole for himself, and he’s having so much fun digging it. Although Linton had realized something was wrong, he still liked to watch Conan dig a hole to bury himself. It was so much fun.

Of course, Conan could also pretend to be confused and act like he didn't know anything, and Linton wouldn't care. But of course Linton also knew who Conan was. Even if he knew that he was digging a hole for himself, he would still jump. After all, he was a detective with a righteous heart.

Sure enough, Conan here was a little confused, but he was still ready to explain the matter to Linton. Although he also knew that this was tantamount to admitting defeat, and there was indeed a case in Fu Xianqiao Town, but he really couldn't ignore it.

However, he still doesn't know why Ito Misari concealed the fact that there are people in the family. He just hopes that this is not a case, it is best to be a misunderstanding or something.

"I think... there are some questions..." Conan thought for a while and said, "I still have something to ask..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I can wait for you." Linton smiled happily, and Conan certainly knew why the other person smiled so happily.

Soon Conan here rang the doorbell again. After waiting for a while, the person who opened the door was Misari Ito. She looked at Linton and Conan who appeared at the door strangely: "Is there anything else?"

"Well, Aunt Ito, I'm just a little strange. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night if I don't ask clearly." Conan here pretended to be a curious baby and said, "Auntie said you don't have anyone else at home, but you see there are a lot of people here. footprints..."

Conan pointed to the door, and there were indeed many muddy footprints on the entrance. Because it had rained here just in the morning, someone probably came in that morning. If it had been done before, it must have been cleaned up in time.

"Oh, these footprints." Misari Ito panicked a little, but said immediately, "People from the law firm came to see me in the morning. My subordinates, this should be left by them."

"Oh..." Conan nodded, "But...these footprints are only the ones going in, not the ones coming out. It looks like someone has entered the house, but hasn't come out yet..."
