Conan: Naruto

"Yes."

Mitsue Muneda looked down at the big watermelon that was in pieces. He kept cutting the melon with a knife in his right hand, and said sadly:

"The children have all gone far away, but my grandson lives in the same building as me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mitsue Munada put down the fruit knife on the white towel, and reached for the handles on the left and right sides of the stainless steel tray with both hands.

She put down a tray with neatly arranged watermelon slices on the wooden table, looked at Xiaolan's family, and gestured gently:

"Come on, you're welcome, just eat."

"Thank you~"

The Xiaolan family leaned forward to pick up the watermelon, looked at Mitsue Munada in a friendly manner, and politely thanked him.

Xiaolan sat on the left side of Kudo Shinichi, holding the bottom of the watermelon slice in her hands and placing it on her chest, smiling and chatting:

"Grandma Guangjiang's daily life should be very interesting with her grandson by her side."

"Oh, look at me, I forgot to introduce my grandson."

Mitsue Munada patted his head in hindsight and introduced with a smile:

My grandson's name is Soda Makoto, and he studies construction engineering at the Faculty of Engineering at Shonan University.

However... he has been staying at home alone lately and rarely goes out. "

"Why is that?"

Mouri Kogoro held a piece of watermelon in his right hand and placed it to his mouth, looking at Mitsue Munada in surprise.

Guangjiang looked down at the many watermelon slices on the tray, and said sadly:

"Well, no matter how much I asked him...he wouldn't tell me."

Zongtian Mitsue looked at Mori Kogoro, and explained melancholy:

"Because of this, I thought that as a famous detective now, you might be able to help me find out the secret hidden by Ah Zhen."

"I understand."

Mouri Kogoro put down the watermelon rind he took a big bite of and nodded slightly with confidence.

Munada Mitsue recounted in confusion:

"He said he would come over around eight o'clock in the evening, but..."

Munada Mitsue turned to look at the blue clock hanging higher on the wall in front of him on the left, and hesitantly decided:

"It's already [-]:[-] pm... I'd better go check on him."

--------

1 minutes later.

On the fourth floor of Guangming Building, the corridor outside the door of Zhen Zhen's room.

Xiaolan's family stood quietly in the corridor outside the gate.

Standing in the corridor, Munada Mitsue looked at the closed door in front of him, with his hands behind his back, and stated worriedly:

"Only Ah Zhen and I live on the fourth floor. All other floors are rented out to others."

"I see."

Mouri Kogoro stood at the right rear of Munada Mitsue, looking at Mitsue calmly, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and nodded slightly calmly.

Guangjiang put his left hand behind his back, and pressed the doorbell with his right hand on the higher side of the door, and the sound of "ding dong ding dong~" sounded.

After half a minute.

No one opened the door, and the corridor was silent.

Dongfang Haoyue, who was standing to the left and rear of Munada Mitsue, decisively opened the system panel and was suddenly shocked to find that the energy points were rising rapidly. He thought worriedly:

"Could it be that... Soda Zhen, whom I have never met before, has been killed..."

Kudo Shinichi stood on the right side of Dongfang Haoyue and understood Haoyue's emotional changes tacitly.

Xinyi gently held Haoyue, gave Haoyue silent comfort, stared at the door intently, and said with a heavy heart in his heart:

"Based on the telepathy that Haoyue and I often resonate with...

Whenever Haoyue's mood takes an inexplicable turn for the worse, something unfortunate is about to happen or has already happened.

Could it be that today also..."

"strangeness......"

Munada Mitsue murmured with his hands behind his back. He tentatively held the door handle with his left hand and pressed it down slightly. He found that the door was locked and could not be opened.

She took back her left hand, flipped through the right pocket of her pants, and suggested speculatively:

"Azhen may be sleeping, I'd better use the spare key to open the door."

"what?"

Xiaolan stood on the left side of Munada Mitsue, looking at Mitsue with slight surprise, and politely reminded:

"Is it okay to open the door without permission...?"

"no problem, no problem."

Munada Mitsue took out the key and placed it in front of his chin. He looked down at the key and explained calmly:

"After all, he is my grandson. I will definitely not mind if I go in to find him."

After 12 seconds.

Munada Mitsue opened the door, took out the key and put it back in his pocket. He looked at the long dark corridor inside the door and called out with concern:

"Azhen, are you at home?"

Before he finished speaking, Munada Mitsue took three steps into the entrance hall, looked at the ground through the incandescent light of the corridor, and discovered...

A blue sweater lies flat on smooth brown tiles, with the top facing the orange wall and the end facing the wooden shoe cabinet.

In addition, the two sleeves of the sweater stretch straight to the left and right sides, connecting the door and the blue-carpeted corridor.

"Ugh......"

Mitsue Munada looked at the blue sweater on the right with some annoyance, sighed deeply, bent over to pick up the sweater and put it on the shoe cabinet on the left, criticizing helplessly:

"Throwing clothes everywhere, what a sloppy kid."

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi stood behind and to the left of Munada Mitsue. They looked away from the blue sweater and looked at Mitsue. They said in unison innocently:

"Grandma Guangjiang, please turn on the lights quickly!"

"Good good~"

Muneda Mitsue agreed again and again with a kind face, and casually pressed the light switch on the left wall, lighting up the entire corridor.

next second.

"what happened?!"

Mitsue Munada covered his mouth with his right hand and looked at the corridor walls covered with strange red lines in horror.

"what?"

Xiaolan's family gathered behind Mitsue Munada and suddenly discovered that the wall painting at the end of the corridor had a large number of strange and complicated red lines, and they couldn't help but exclaimed.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi stood at the left rear of Guangjiang. They quickly came to their senses and looked around. They found that the wooden door on the left at the end of the corridor was open and the door on the right was closed.

In addition, except for the door and ceiling on the left side of the corridor, the strange red lines almost covered the walls and doors on both sides of the corridor.

"very scary......"

Xiaolan stood in the middle behind Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, holding her right hand in front of the collar, looking at the many red lines with some fear.

"don’t worry."

Mori Kogoro stood at the right back of Soda Mitsue, comforted him, took off his shoes and replaced them with slippers in the shoe cabinet, and walked steadily across Mitsue to the middle of the wall on the left front.

Kogoro stared at the red line intently and calmly explained without looking back:

"Ms. Mitsue, let me check the composition of the red thread."

After three seconds.

Mouri Kogoro stopped in the middle of the wall in front of the left side of the gate, raised his right index finger to touch the red line, and it was stained with a little red.

He sniffed his index finger gently and said nothing for the time being.

"uncle."

Dongfang Haoyue, who had changed into slippers, dragged Kudo Shinichi, who was also in the same condition, to the left rear of Kogoro Mori, looked up at Kogoro, and asked worriedly:

"Are those blood stains?"

"No, not so."

Mouri Kogoro looked back at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, looked down at the red stain on his right index finger, and told calmly:

"Just regular crayons."
