"Hello? Hello, is this Teacher Kobayashi? Oh. I'm the parent of Haibara Ai. She is not feeling well today and can't go to school. She wants to ask for a few days off. Huh? Well, I will go back when I feel better. , I am not sure how long it will be. Okay, goodbye."

Kudo put down the phone, and made an "OK" gesture to Haibara, who was making breakfast: "Okay, everything is settled!" "Sure enough, you will be full of energy when you have a case! You woke up without calling today?"

He went to the dining table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and laughed while wolfing down: "Yeah! I was so excited that I didn't sleep well all night!" "Be careful of choking!" She gave him a white look, and sat down slowly eat up.

"Here, drink this glass of milk, and we're off." After the meal, he handed her a glass of milky white liquid. "What about you? Have you drank yours?" She took it and didn't forget to ask him.

"I've already finished drinking." He pointed to the empty cup on the table, "I'll wash the cup when you finish drinking." She drank all the milk, feeling warm from stomach to heart. "Here you are." He took the cup and went back to the kitchen to wash it.

After sorting everything out, the two set off.

"Is that man's home far away?" she asked him while wearing her seat belt.He was reversing the car: "His family is rich, so he bought a house in the suburbs. The environment is nice and quiet, but it's a little far away." Sure enough, the two of them drove for nearly half an hour before arriving.

After getting out of the car, Kudo pointed to a rather big house and said, "Look, this is it." "Well, the air in the suburbs is good." She took a deep breath. "Rich people are different, and they have such a big courtyard."

"Do you like this? The yard is bigger?" He asked, with a plan in mind.

"Well, it's really good! Don't you like it?"

Because only Uenokawa lives alone, and now that he is dead, the police have sealed off the place and put someone at the door to guard it.Kudo took out his ID and showed it to the two policemen, and they let him go.

"Officer Megure said that there is no trace of outsider intrusion, let's see how the prisoner killed the man." Kudo walked in and observed the terrain around the house. "The house is in the center of the whole courtyard, and the surrounding area is very empty. It should not be easy to hide people," she said. "Well, and this is a suburb, there are no tall buildings, and the possibility of sniping is also ruled out." He frowned, "Let's go to his bedroom and have a look."

The police at the scene have also investigated, and the shape and location of the body have also been preserved.Haibara carefully observed how the victim fell down. "The officer said his body was lying on the ground with his eyes protruding. The bullet was right between the eyebrows." He explained to her when she stared there.

She walked around the house a few times and opened the closet to check.Kudo was observing the doors and windows of the house.

After a while, she said: "I guess he found someone following after he entered the room. He turned around and looked back, and backed away in fright, and then the prisoner opened fire without giving him too much time."

"Huh? Tell me." He was very interested.

She leaned on the door with folded arms and said: "I have observed his room since I came in. His things are very neat, and even the clothes in the closet are classified into categories, which is clear at a glance. It can be seen that he usually pays attention to things. It would not be a mess if it was arranged by a special person every day."

"However," she said, pointing to the crumbling things on the bedside table, "look there, a lot of things have been knocked over. And the place where the corpse fell was next to the bed. As you said just now, it was lying on its stomach. It can be seen that he He knocked over the things on the cabinet when he retreated after being frightened, and then he was killed."

"It makes sense!" His eyes lit up, "But how did the prisoner get in? I just checked, and the windows are in good condition, and there is no sign of someone prying them open. There is a coded lock on the door, so he can't get in unless he is himself." .” He thought of this and was puzzled again. "If it's not a sniper, how can you come in with the dead?"

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out. "The prisoner is really cautious. He didn't even leave a fingerprint or a hair. There is no way to find it!" He scratched his hair in frustration, "Damn it!"

"Don't worry. It seems that there is nothing to be found here, let's go and look at the corpse." Hui Yuan advised him not to dig into the horns. "Maybe there will be other discoveries?"

"You're right, let's go." He rubbed his face and pulled her away.

When they arrived at the morgue at the police station, the forensic doctor led them to find Uenogawa's body.Sure enough, his eyes widened, as if he saw something terrible.He is about 40 years old, and he is not fat, but his face is a bit treacherous. "Sure enough, he has the face of a deputy businessman." Huiyuan commented.

She carefully inspected the corpse with skilled and professional hands, and the forensic doctors on the side were stunned.When Kudo saw it, he was filled with pride: Of course my person is extraordinary! "Have you checked the alcohol content in the body of the deceased?" Huiyuan asked suddenly.

The forensic doctor was stunned before he answered, "Oh? Well, since the time of death has exceeded 24 hours, so..." "Didn't there be a test at the beginning?" Hui Yuan said in a bad tone.

The forensic doctor was dissatisfied: a little kid is also pointing fingers here!Just as he was about to speak a few words, Kudo knelt down and asked, "What? Did you see anything wrong?"

"I'm not sure, I still have to test it first." Huiyuan frowned, put on gloves, took some skin tissue, and went into the laboratory for research.

Here the forensic doctor asked Kudo: "Mr. Kudo, you just let a little girl..." Kudo interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Her skills are better than all of you, so don't worry." Concentrate on waiting for the result.The forensic doctor pouted: Who would believe it!An eight-year-old girl?

After a while, she came out, and Kudo hurried up to meet him: "How did it turn out?" She took off her mask: "As expected, he drank a lot of alcohol before he died."

"Impossible, after such a long time, the result must be inaccurate!" The forensic doctor questioned her result. "I have my own way to find out. As for the method, I don't need to report it to the stupid people." Hui Yuan's tone was as cold as scum.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Kudo hurriedly bid farewell to the forensic doctor who was too angry to speak, and left the morgue.

"Okay, okay, he doesn't understand you, don't be angry." After coming out, Kudo was busy coaxing Huiyuan. "Quickly tell me what you found." If it is really what Huiyuan said...

"I found that there was alcohol in his cells, and I can confirm that Uenogawa drank a lot of alcohol before his death." Huiyuan said the test results.

"In that case," he rested his chin in thought, "he was drunk when he came home. It was night and it was dark..." He raised his head abruptly: "In that case, the prisoner He probably went in after him! He didn't notice when he was drunk, but he was killed when he found out after entering the house!"

"It's also possible that the prisoner sneaked into the courtyard early in the dark and waited for him to come back." Huiyuan added a possibility, "The prisoner must know his actions well, even knowing that he would drink that day."

"Yes, it seems that this is a premeditated crime." After the excitement just now passed, he became worried again: "Now we can only speculate on the criminal's method of crime, not to mention that it cannot be verified, even who the murderer is." Not sure. There is no monitoring, no witnesses, and the scene is clean and neat without leaving any traces, so where do we start to investigate!"

Kudo paced back and forth anxiously, hitting his right palm with his left fist from time to time. "Let me think about what to do next." "Didn't you say that he might have an enemy? Why not start with this guess?" Huiyuan suggested.

"Yes! This is also a way. Then we should ask his ex-wife. After all, we have slept together before, so we should know some inside stories." He quickly finalized the plan, full of fighting spirit, as if he could see to victory.So he grabbed Hui Yuan and was about to leave.

"Do you know where his wife lives?" Hui Yuan quickly cooled him down, "It's already noon now, and I don't know the address, so let's go home first."

"Ah! You're right! I still don't know where this woman lives!" He slapped his forehead, "I'm so excited, thanks to you!" He picked up Huiyuan and turned around a few times, scaring her Immediately hugged his neck tightly: "Hey! What are you doing! Don't hurry up and let me down!"

"What are you going to do! You are right, go back to eat first, then call Police Officer Mumu and ask, we will go in the afternoon!" He ignored her protest, carried her to the car, and helped her fasten her seat belt, Only then did I get into the car by myself.Seeing her blushing, whether it was from anger or shame, he was in a good mood.

Haha, there are not many opportunities to hug you so blatantly!He thought evilly in his heart.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when the two drove back again, Haibara was preparing food in the kitchen, and Kudo was calling Police Officer Megure in the living room.After asking, I opened the information on Uenogawa sent yesterday, and browsed carefully one by one.

"Huh? This person disappeared for a few months?" He found something abnormal, "Let me see, it was the end of last year, from October to December?" He frowned and recalled that time last year: "Then Isn't it just the time for us to prepare for a decisive battle with the organization?"

"And the information showed that he had engaged in illegal smuggling activities, and he was about to be detained several times, but he was released without charge?" He looked again carefully, "Who is protecting him? Could it be an organization?! "He was taken aback by his own thoughts, and subconsciously looked at Huiyuan: Then, should she continue to follow me to investigate this case?"She is so afraid of organizing...

Huiyuan was arranging the bowls and chopsticks. Seeing him staring at him, he asked, "Kudou? Why do you keep looking at me?" Haha: "Of course I watch you because you look good! Hehe!"

After speaking, he comforted himself: "It's okay, maybe you are thinking too much. There is no evidence yet, wait until you meet Uenogawa's ex-wife before thinking about it!"

When the two were about to eat, suddenly the doorbell rang. "It's almost two o'clock, who could it be?" Huiyuan muttered, and went to open the door.

"Xiaolan... sister?!"
