Conan: About the fact that I have a black brother

Lin Xiaochen once again stepped into the room filled with the scent of lavender. This time, he had a clear look at the men's leather shoes in the shoe cabinet and the men's suits in the wardrobe compartment.

Seeing Lin Xiaochen's confused expression, Yamato Gansuke couldn't help but walk over and said, "Lin, stop being in a daze and come and help."

"Yes." Lin Xiaochen answered subconsciously, and followed Yamato Gansuke like a conditioned reflex, and the two walked to the bookcase.

Yamato Gansuke: "Gao Ming judged that there might be something behind the bookcase. We need to move it away. I don't have enough strength to do it alone."

At first glance, Zhu Fu Gao Ming is a civilian type, and Uehara Yui is a woman who is not convenient for her to do physical work. Since there are other male police officers at the scene, she will naturally not be allowed to go.

Lin Xiaochen nodded, and he and Yamato Ganzhu held the bookcase on the left and right, and then pried it outwards with force.

I don’t know what the bookcase is made of, but even with two grown men exerting force together, it didn’t move at all.

"Try again, come on, three, two, one..."

The two of them tried together again, but to no avail.

"Hey, this is really strange, why doesn't it move?" Yamato Gansuke raised his hand and knocked on the bookcase, "It's just ordinary wood. Wait, it's hollow?"

Lin Xiaochen took out his mobile phone to take a long-range picture of the bookcase. After making sure that the position of every book was captured, he opened the bookcase.

Yamato Gansuke had originally planned to take a stick and use the principle of leverage to lift the bookcase out, but when he saw Lin Xiaochen trying to do something with the books, he stopped him and said, "Hey, hey, hey, Lin, wait a minute. If there's a mechanism, you'll ruin the original steps of solving the problem."

Lin Xiaochen paused as he stretched out his hand.

Yes, the Nagano group are not stupid. How could they not think of the methods that I can think of?

"Lin, you're not in good condition. What happened?" Yamato Ganzhu stepped forward and put his hand on Lin Xiaochen's arm. "You were fine this morning."

Lin Xiaochen seemed to have just come back to his senses: "What did you say?"

Yamato Gansuke was silent for a moment: "It's okay, come over and continue to think of a solution."

Lin Xiaochen walked to the front of the bookcase and, like Yamato Gansuke, he looked here and knocked there, and came to a similar conclusion: "The wood is hollow, but it looks like someone stuffed something in it - it would be great if I could just pry it open."

"Pry it open..." Yamato Gansuke seemed to be really considering this possibility, "It's not impossible?"

"Senior Yamato, you just said that we cannot destroy the bookcase." Lin Xiaochen joked. Although it was a bit deliberate, it at least made his state seem more normal.

"If you want to stuff something in, there will definitely be gaps." Yamato Gansuke.

Lin Xiaochen pushed against the cabinet door and almost put his face close to the book. The unique fragrance of ink mixed with the musty smell of the pages lingered in his nostrils.

Yamato Gansuke couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to grab him: "Lin, what are you doing?"

"Senior Yamato, stop touching me. I've found something." Lin Xiaochen took the book off the bookshelf. Yamato Gansuke had no time to stop him and could only stand aside speechlessly.

Whatever. Lin is not the kind of person who would do something reckless.

Thinking this way, he let Lin Xiaochen take the books one by one. Then, he got a clip from somewhere and stuffed it into the gap on the side. He fiddled with it a few times and actually pried it open.

After a slight click, the wooden board slowly opened.

Yamato Gansuke couldn't help but take a step forward to take a closer look.

Inside the compartment behind the wooden board was a thick stack of handwritten documents, and on top of the documents was a brand new Beretta.

Yamato Gansuke couldn't help but gasp: "Gun?"

He was not familiar with firearms, but he knew the seriousness of having a gun appear in an ordinary residence.

Lin Xiaochen picked up the gun, and the unique pungent smell of metal mixed with maintenance oil was particularly obvious.

——This gun is new, but it is an old style and has just been serviced.

The handwritten documents were covered in dust, obviously having not been touched for a long time. The dust did not show any gun marks, which meant that the gun was placed there by someone else just now.

Who is it? The murderer who killed and dismembered people?

"Lin, look." Yamato Gansuke suddenly spoke up, pointing at the gun tip, "There's a note inside."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaochen immediately went to take a look, took out the rolled up white paper and unfolded it, only to see large characters clearly written on it:

I will come to you

The tip of the pen is sharp, like a knife.

"Was it left by the murderer?" Yamato Gansuke asked uncertainly, "It seems that the murderer is very familiar with this family and even knows that there is a secret door in the bookcase."

"It is also possible that the murderer forced Mrs. Ge Mu to take out something?" Lin Xiaochen threw the gun into the evidence bag, then carefully took out the stack of papers.

Yamato Gansuke helped put it on the low table: "Is this... a transaction record?"

Every time, he clearly recorded the children he had dealt with over the years.

only--

"Senior Yamato, you see, the time is not right." Lin Xiaochen pointed to the last one and said, "The handwriting on these sheets is similar, so we can confirm that they are from the same person. However, 20 years ago, Mrs. Ge Mu was only seven or eight years old. She was still a child. How could she be involved in child trafficking?"

"It's really strange. Jiang Shou was only a little over ten years old twenty years ago." Yamato Gansuke flipped through the yellowed pages. "Mrs. Kuzuki and Jiang Shou are both orphans and have no family."

"Agan, Lin." Uehara Yui heard the "crackling" sound when the book fell just now and thought something had happened.

"Uehara?" Yamato Gansuke turned to look at her, "What clues did you and Gao Ming find?"

"The lavender incense in the house contains hallucinogenic ingredients. Zhu Fu has sealed it. In addition, we also found a basement with children's clothes in it."

"According to Takahashi Yu's statement, she had been locked up in the basement. She was knocked unconscious and taken out last night. When she woke up, she found herself back home." Uehara Yui finished speaking in one breath, as if she was thinking of something tragic. "Several pieces of clothing in the basement have been taken away for DNA comparison, but..."

She paused. "There are a few newer ones that match those of Ueno Kumi and Yamano Taro. These two children may have been resold."
