Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

After packing his things, Imaguchi decided to go out and buy some food. He had been at home recently and he hadn't eaten out for a long time.

He has been a little greedy in the past two days and wants to eat something delicious. He has already eaten enough bread and fried foods.

When he arrived at the door, Imaguchi subconsciously looked up and looked across, and was a little surprised to find that the bread he had hung on the door had been taken away.

Mr. Kurosawa came back so quickly this time. He thought he would take the bread by himself, but he didn't expect it to be delivered to him!

If you give me some bread today and some fruit tomorrow, you will be able to get acquainted with Mr. Kurosawa soon.

He is very interested in Mr. Kurosawa!

Although he is used to being alone, he would also be happy if he could make a friend.

What's more, this friend is very good-looking, very agreeable, and has a personality that he prefers. Although Imaguchi felt Mr. Kurosawa's indifference, he still wanted to give it a try.

Now it seems that I might succeed?

Although he was very happy, Imaguchi did not bother Mr. Kurosawa and left directly.

In the restaurant, Imaguchi found a corner and ordered a bowl of noodles and started eating.

Because it was too early, the restaurant had just opened and there were not many people there.

However, he did see two familiar people, the young detective Kudo and his friend. It seemed that they were also here to have breakfast.

Imaguchi quickly pulled up his clothes to cover his face. To be honest, he didn't hate these two children, but he didn't want to see them either.

Even though they looked cute, he encountered two cases when he met them twice. The same was true when he met Mr. Kudo. Imaguchi really doesn't want to encounter any cases today. After all, there are still many things to do in school, and he doesn't have time to waste here today.

I don't know if it was because he hid it too well and had too little sense of presence, or if Kudo Shinichi and the others had forgotten about him. In short, he was not discovered and he finished the bowl of noodles quietly.

Just when I was about to leave, there was a sudden crackling sound.

The man who was eating just now ran in in panic from outside, bumped into many things, and his face was full of panic.

"Dead! Dead! Someone drowned outside!"

Imaguchi was stunned and knew that he couldn't leave today, but there was something going on in his school, and this was really bad!

Kudo Shinichi calmly asked people to protect the scene and not touch the body, and then asked everyone in the restaurant not to move and to stay where they were and wait for the police to arrive.

The little girl with long hair clutched Kudo Shinichi's clothes tightly. Perhaps infected by his calmness, Mao Lilan dialed the public security number.

Imaguchi sat back down depressed, ordered a glass of lemonade and drank it to vent his anger. Not long after, the police car whirred and several police officers arrived at the door of the restaurant.

Kudo Shinichi and the others went up to them and explained the situation in the restaurant to the leading police officer.

Imago followed the crowd and looked at the police officers at the door. To be honest, he had seen more police officers in the past few months than he had seen in the past ten years.

At least the police officers in front of him looked familiar to him. He had encountered them in previous cases, but he couldn't remember what they called them.

"Kudo, Xiaolan, why are you here?" Officer Megure was a little surprised when he saw the children of his two friends. Is this the first time he has met them at the scene of a crime?

"My parents and uncle have gone out, so Xiaolan and I are having breakfast here." Kudo Shinichi curled his lips, a bunch of unreliable parents.

My parents fly around all day, going wherever there is fun, leaving me alone. And the uncle, too, spent the whole day either drinking or gambling, and the two of them had to take care of them.

Officer Memu obviously knew the situation and nodded without saying much.

The leading police officer looked at the condition of the body and waved to call Officer Megure and Kudo Shinichi.

"You are witnesses, can you tell me what's going on here?" He still believed what these two children said more than others. Moreover, what Kudo Shinichi says will be clearer and more organized than others.

"This is a private restaurant. Because it is close to home and on the way to school, we often eat here. Because the restaurant is not very big, most of the people who come to eat here are regular customers. These are the We know most of the guests.

Today, Xiaolan and I came here to eat as usual. Everything was calm as usual, but suddenly someone discovered a body.

The person who died, although I can't name him, was a regular customer here and was almost there every time he came here.

Before the body was discovered, there were no conflicts in the restaurant, and the guests who left after paying their bills did not find the body. It seems that the body appeared suddenly. "

Kudo Shinichi also felt very strange when he said this. Although there were not many people in the restaurant, there were still people coming and going.

Before the body was discovered, at least two or three people left, but no one noticed it.

Before the body was discovered, the last person to leave was ten minutes ago. But in just ten minutes, could someone really be killed silently?

What's more, there are so many pairs of eyes in the restaurant, how can we guarantee that no one will notice?

"The restaurant structure doesn't look like a restaurant."

This restaurant actually occupies a large area, with the house and yard covering four to five hundred square meters, but the restaurant only occupies less than half of it, and the remaining half is filled with plants and other things planted in the yard.

Logically speaking, the bigger the restaurant, the better. Even if there are plants, there won't be so many. This structure does not look like a restaurant, but like the yard where one lives.

"You are right. This was originally the house I lived in. Later, the neighborhood developed and there were more and more people. The nearby houses were converted into shops.

I also opened a restaurant, but I couldn't bear to part with the old house so I didn't change it. Although it is a bit small for a restaurant, it is enough.

And then because my yard here is relatively large. There were many plants that attracted a lot of people, and the business was good. I had no intention of changing, so I just kept going. "The owner of the restaurant came over and said.

"Is there a floor plan of the house here? Apart from this doorway, is there any other passage that can lead to the outside?" The police officer nodded. The top priority now is to find out how and when the deceased died?

According to their observation, the restaurant only has two doors at the front and back, so they usually go out through these two doors.

But they didn't know if there were any other hidden secret passages.

"Yes, I'll bring it over right now." The boss nodded quickly, went to the room and took out a few pieces of paper, "This is the layout of the entire room, but I later changed it a bit to open up the rooms in the middle. All that’s left is the kitchen, bathroom, and a living room in the back, and the rest becomes the entire restaurant.”

Judging from the picture, the room structure is not complicated. It was originally a very standard three bedrooms and one living room, but now it has been changed into one bedroom and one living room. The house is divided into front and back yards. There are some flowers, trees and a small carp pond in the yard.

The deceased died near the carp pond. After forensic examination, the deceased should have died of drowning.

This cause of death seems reasonable, but in fact it is full of loopholes. Although there is a carp pond in the restaurant, the water is very shallow. Let alone an adult, even a baby who has just learned to walk will not drown if he sits in it.

But now, a man of sound intelligence, who is over 1 meters tall, drowns inexplicably next to the pool. It seems suspicious no matter how you look at it.

"Are the front and back yards of this house the same?"

"Originally, yes, there was a 1m gap between the house and the courtyard wall, which allowed the front and back yards to be connected. But then a tree was planted in the gap. Now the tree has grown bigger and bigger, filling the gap, so it doesn't look like it at all. I can't see a way.

Because it was inconvenient to go there after the trees were planted, and it was very convenient to walk inside the restaurant, so we haven’t walked there for several years.

However, there are very few people who know about this incident and still remember it. Apart from our own family members, only the neighbors and people with good relationships still remember this incident. "

If he hadn't suddenly heard the police asking, the restaurant owner would have almost forgotten this road.

"So you can pass through the front and back yard quietly, right?" He made some gestures on the paper and suddenly figured out something.

The main entrance of the restaurant is in the backyard, so most customers will go in through the backyard. Only a few very familiar customers will go around from the front yard.

But the boss and the others usually don't care about this. After all, it doesn't make much difference to them whether they go from the front or from the back, but it makes a big difference to others.

"If it's not too troublesome, it's possible to get through." The restaurant owner hesitated. He remembered that there seemed to be a gap that could be passed through, but that was how long ago, and it is not certain whether the gap has been filled now.

The restaurant owner arrived at the place and pointed. Sure enough, a tree was hit between the house and the wall.

Although the trees are very lush, there are still some gaps around them. Although they are not big, they can be passed through if they are thinner.

And because of the location, if someone really walks from here, it will not be easy to be discovered, and they can also go directly to the front and back yards.
