248. Empty
"When I came into this house, I didn't smell the food, and the refrigerator was empty."
Unlike Mitsuhiko and Fenta who had previously rumored, Conan was very organized and went straight to the refrigerator.
Faced with his doubts, Hamano Sadato defended: "That's because when I was about to go out to buy ingredients, I was shocked by that strange woman. And, I said you can't just flip through my kitchen!"
"Is that true? When that strange woman rang your doorbell, you shouldn't be at home, are you?" Conan said: "Wouldn't it be enough to buy good ingredients on the way back?"
Hanye Sadago walked over and put his hips on his hips, "When should I buy that be mine?"
There is nothing wrong with this.
"Anyway, let's check if any other residents see that woman." Police Officer Meguri ordered, and then said, "By the way, Wakasa, can you take the children back to your house for the time being?"
"Okay." Rumi Wakasa nodded and looked at the well-behaved children.
Azumi looked forward to it, "Why don't we go to Brother Chenxing's house to have fun?"
The two boys around him nodded repeatedly.
"Is this convenient?" Ruomi Wakasa said embarrassedly.
"There is nothing inconvenient, it's nothing fun." Chen Xing said while leading the road.
"Just treat it as a visit." Yuan Tai smiled.
Haibara Ai held his hands behind his back, "What's the best place to visit for a man who lives alone?"
Conan smiled and whispered, "I remember you said before, was he picked you up at that time?"
"Is there any?" Haibara Ai looked at him coldly.
Conan shrugged, wisely circumventing the topic.
After arriving at Chenxing's house, the children were full of expectations, but when they saw his room and the furnishings in the house, they went there in a while.
"Nothing?"
“It looks so empty.”
“So deserted.”
The sofa, coffee table, and a few furniture are all cool-toned and too empty. The curtains occasionally rust, and the sweeping robots buzz around and fro. If this weren't the case, it would be really silent.
The lights in the room were very bright. Everyone looked at the spotless room, but the idea of visiting it was really gone.
The children stood in the entrance hall, hesitating whether to go in, as if even wearing slippers, stepping on the floor was a blasphemy.
Chen Xing had already opened the refrigerator door, "What do you want to drink?"
"If you drink something, it will be even colder, right?" Mitsuhiko whispered.
Conan changed into disposable slippers in the shoe cabinet, walked in curiously, and wandered around.
"Can you look around? There is nothing inconvenient?" He said so, and the person had already opened the door to the study.
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded.
Wakasa Rumi also walked quietly in the room after saying "I've disturbed it."
"Didn't you just say you want to visit?" Haibara Ai chuckled, and Arimi and the other two changed their shoes in a slight manner when they heard her words. They were as careful as they were their first time visiting.
This is really rare for the three little ones who come from the background.
"Does Tuya live alone?" asked Rumi Wakasa.
Chen Xu was answered.
As a teacher, Rumi Wakasa was very polite and did not ask about privacy questions. Moreover, she was obviously with the enthusiastic and lively children at this moment, but she felt that it was a very unlucky situation.
Even Yuan Tai shrank his neck, just drinking yogurt, and couldn't say a word of nonsense.
Conan turned around everywhere, study, guest room, bedroom, bathroom.
The study room was empty, there was not a single book, only the window was opened, and the wind blew into the room.
The bed in the guest room is covered with dustproof cloth.
The bedroom and the bathroom are as tidy as obsessive-compulsive.
In short, if you only look at Chen Xing’s residence, it will make people lose interest in him.
After a while, Haibara Ai looked at the uncomfortable people, "Let's go back and see if the screen has dried?"
"Okay~" the three little ones responded immediately.
Immediately, maybe I felt that this was not good, so I laughed at Chen Xing foolishly, very stupid.
Chen Xing also knew that probably no one could stay in his own home.
Only he likes it.
As everyone left, the lights in the entrance hall suddenly went out, and Chen Xing locked the door.
Haibara Ai looked at the children who were breathing a sigh of relief in the corridor, and when he looked at Chen Xing, he couldn't tell what he felt.
Conan stood aside, with no expression, because although it was his first time to visit Chen Xing's home, he did not find anything unusual as expected.
Or it should be said that because his family is minimalist and too clean, everything is in sight, just like him.
But for detectives, if this is the case, the more they will be able to attract their attention.
"Let's go." Rumi Wakasa greeted.
She had many ways to sneak into the family, but I have to say that when she went in openly today, she completely dispelled her curiosity and wiped out the mystery she had imagined.
This place does not look like a long-term residence, but more like a station for resting occasionally. If you want to find an appropriate metaphor, then a pure and clear girl is the best description.
She didn't want to come again, because she was extremely ignorant and was depressing and suffocating.
At this moment, Wakasarumi felt increasingly unnatural in her heart, far from being a person who was "cold-faced, warm-hearted, clear and bright" on the surface or in other people's words.
Darkness always needs a little light to hide.
...
After returning to Rumi Wakasa's home.
"I had known that I had photographed the woman who rang the doorbell." Although Yuan Tai was a little annoyed, she lay comfortably on the floor.
"But that woman's fair hands were taken in that Polaroid photo." Mitsuhiko said.
"Conan, can you find the female murderer based on that photo?" Ayumi asked.
"I can't find it that way." Conan said embarrassedly.
"Strange, what's the smell?" Haibara Ai sniffed suddenly, "I just smelled it."
Bu Mei smelled it, "It's the smell of the cosmetics counter in the mall."
"Has the teacher's cosmetics been overturned?" Haibara Ai's nose wings swayed.
Chen Xing stretched out his finger and pressed against her forehead, interrupting the indecent movement she wanted to smell.
"What are you doing?" Haibara Ai rolled his eyes.
"It's Yuan Tai's hand." Chen Xing said.
"What?" Yuan Tai was stunned, "I didn't put on makeup."
Conan's eyes moved, he stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and sniffed it deeply.
"It's true." He sighed.
Haibara Ai immediately sat far away with disgust.
Yuan Taifa's face turned red, "What's the case? I said I didn't apply any cosmetics at all."
The little head that cuts potato cubes look stupid.
"No, I'm talking about the murderer." Conan said with a smile.
"Do you already know who the murderer is?" Mitsuhiko looked surprised.
"Who is that woman?" Yuan Tai tentatively pulled her hand back from him.
