In the end, Conan was left to Furukawa Kumisa to take care of - after all, the two policewomen present and one Officer Sato were the ones who actually searched the first section, and she was the only "non-staff member" who seemed to be more leisurely.

Furukawa Kumisa gritted his teeth: What is the stereotype that women are better at raising children? This little brat obviously gets along better with the black guy next to him, okay?

Edogawa Conan got his wish and got a hug from Furukawa Kumisa - it was impossible.

Furukawa Kumisa took Conan and stood far away from the corpse, waiting nearby, and then stared closely at the little kid. If he saw any movement of him trying to sneak over to see the corpse, he would be caught immediately.

Hold the back of fate, sneak back and stand obediently.

Edogawa Conan was scratching his head as he waited: "Sister Furukawa..."

Furukawa Kumisa was unselfish: "Da! Hey! Children should behave like children! Just stay there and the corpse is not something you should look at!"

Edogawa Conan gave full play to the advantages of being a child, holding Furukawa Kumisa's arm and acting coquettishly: "Furukawa sister~"

Furukawa Kumisa is fully immune to the coquettish skills: "It's useless even if you call me Furukawa mom today."

When the plan failed, Conan Edogawa decided to take a curveball to save the country: "Uncle Kogoro and I came to the Tsumuzu River for an outing today! Sister Furukawa, please accompany me to the river~"

The body was placed on the embankment not far from the river.

Furukawa Kumi Shapi smiled and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Good boy, the body was just fished out from the river. This river is unlucky. I will take you to another place for an outing another day."

Edogawa Conan paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked at her with shining eyes: "Really? Can I go out for an outing with Sister Furukawa next time?"

Furukawa Kumisa: ...Is this the point? Aren’t you looking at the corpse one second? Why are you going for an outing the next second?

Edogawa Conan thought Furukawa Kumisa agreed, and immediately smiled with two rows of front teeth: "Furukawa sister is the best!"

Furukawa Kumisa:……

After unilaterally finalizing the follow-up "outing" plan, Edogawa Conan's attention returned to the corpse.

"Sister Furukawa, I drank too much water when I first came here...can I..."

Furukawa Kumisa didn't even think about it: "Da! Baa!"

Edogawa Conan gritted his teeth: "But I really can't hold it in anymore... Sister Furukawa..."

Furukawa Kumisa bent down slightly, touched the Shinigami's hair with a smile, and reasoned with him very gently: "Frequent urination, urgent urination, and inability to urinate are always symptoms of kidney deficiency. Conan-kun has this disease at such a young age.

What if I become a 'bad' man when I get older?"

No man can accept someone saying that he is "not good", let alone a 17-year-old boy who is in the prime of adolescence - although he is currently trapped in the skin of a 7-year-old.

Furukawa Kumisa looked at Conan who had calmed down with satisfaction, deeply hiding his merit and fame.

Just as Furukawa Kumisa and Edogawa Conan were struggling to the extreme, everyone over there had already conducted a preliminary investigation on the body. A small police officer came with a body bag and a stretcher and transported the female body back to the headquarters.

, for dissection.

After the body was taken away and the items inappropriate for children were gone, Furukawa Kumisa no longer held Edogawa Conan captive and took him back.

Sato directed the police officers on the river bank to continue searching for suspicious clues. Chiba was sent to find nearby witnesses, while Takagi called the City Planning Administration and asked if there was any nearby surveillance that could be adjusted.

Pick.

After all the tasks were assigned, only Jinpei Matsuda and Toru Amuro were left squatting where the body was and began to observe the plastic bag used by the murderer to contain the body.

When Furukawa Kumisa walked over, the two of them had already turned the plastic bag inside and out with their gloves on.

Matsuda Jinpei frowned: "I actually used an ordinary garbage bag... because there are enough layers on the outside, so it can bear the weight of the next person?"

Furukawa Kumisa saw that they had studied the garbage bags, and then changed her mind. She looked at Amuro Toru: "What time did Amuro-kun find the body in the river today?"

Matsuda Jin's eyebrows twitched: "Kun" Amuro?

Toru Amuro didn't pay attention to this. He thought for a while: "I usually get up at five o'clock, go out on time after dinner, and take Haro out for a morning run. It's usually around 5:30 when I get to the Temutsugawa River...

"But Harrow had a bad stomach yesterday because she didn't know what to eat. She's not feeling well today. I spent some time cooking for him in the morning and watched him eat before going out... When I got here today, it was almost morning.

Around six o'clock."

"Wait a minute, Harrow is..."

"It's a dog raised by Brother Amuro," Conan answered Furukawa Kumisa's question. "It was originally a stray dog, but later it was raised by Brother Amuro and became fat and white, right, Brother Amuro."

"...Eh...a stray dog..."

Furukawa Kumisa was shocked: A stray dog? Bourbon picked up a stray dog ​​and raised it? Is this the Bourbon she knows?

Just like in the same analogy, Gin saw a stray cat on the road and kindly picked it up and fed it...

This scene is so terrifying that Furukawa Kumisa doesn't want to imagine it.

She held her chin and returned to the topic: "I just saw the introduction board of Tsumutsu River on the lawn. The river flows very slowly in the city. This season, the speed is almost 0.08 meters per second."

Furukawa Kumisa turned his attention to Conan who took out his mobile phone: "Hey, kid, how long is the river section from the construction site on the outskirts of the city to here on the map?"

Edogawa Conan was stunned: "Sister Furukawa asked me?"

Furukawa Kumisa was even more stunned than him: "Isn't that why you took out your phone to check this?"

That's true. When Edogawa Conan heard Furukawa Kumisa asking for the time, he had already turned on his phone to check the map... But how did she know?

He didn't even ask "What are you looking for?", as if he knew his ideas for solving the case very well.

Edogawa Conan adjusted his glasses and didn't say anything else. He just lowered his head and looked at the map: "If you look at the map... including the scale, it's about 2 to 25 kilometers."

Matsuda Jinpei also understood their thinking: "At 25 kilometers, if the flow rate is 0.08 meters per second, it will be about..." He took out his mobile phone and opened the calculator, "About 86 hours."

Toru Amuro thought for a while: "If you push forward eight and a half hours, if the body entered the water at the river section next to the construction site on the outskirts of the city you mentioned, then the time of entering the water would be around 9:30 last night?"

Officer Memu and the others had just told him about someone being buried alive last night. He raised his head and asked: "According to the young man's confession last night, what time did he get into trouble?"

Edogawa Conan answered: "Around 8:30 to 9 o'clock in the evening."

Furukawa Kumisa lowered his head with a smile: "Ah, Conan-kun didn't hear Officer Megure introduce last night's case just now, but he knows the details of the case very well."

Edogawa Conan froze slightly: "Ah, well, that's because on the way here, Officer Megure already told Uncle Mouri, hahaha..."

Furukawa Kumisa suddenly realized: "So this is it."

Toru Amuro glanced at the concealed Edogawa Conan, and then at the kindly smiling Furukawa Kumisa - for some reason, he always felt that Natafe seemed to have discovered the child's identity in his heart, and everything now was just...

I'm just playing with him.

No matter what, he still opened his mouth to solve the problem.

"In other words, if it is assumed that this body is indeed related to the criminals who buried the boy alive, then after they buried the boy alive at about nine o'clock in the evening, they threw the body into the river at about the same time... What does this mean?

"

Matsuda Jinpei pondered and said: "Explain, they don't have large-scale corpse transport tools?"

Furukawa Kumisa was also thinking of this, and she nodded: "The boy's appearance was unexpected. They used the wooden box originally used to bury the body, but they did not have the tools to transport the body - such as a car.

, so we could only solve it on the spot and throw the body in the nearest river."

Edogawa Conan frowned: "But the question now is, is this corpse related to the murderer of the elder brother who was buried alive yesterday? The elder brother said that he just heard a strange sound, and also

I couldn't see the person clearly, so I was stunned. I only knew that there were at least two people on the other side."

Tohru Amuro thought for a while: "Let's wait for the forensic examination. Once we know the time of death, we can roughly estimate when he entered the river. According to what the boy said, the victim should not have died when he passed by. He heard

The moans of the victim."

This was the limit that could be deduced based on the current limited information. Several people finally stopped surrounding the body bag, stood up, took off their gloves, and walked back.

Matsuda Jinpei thought of something: "By the way, Furukawa, you should go back and take a rest first."

Furukawa Kumisa was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

"You stayed up all night with us last night and didn't sleep all night. Go back and rest early. You have to go to work tomorrow."

Furukawa Kumisa said "Ah" in hindsight: "...it's okay, didn't you guys stay up all night?"

Matsuda Jinpei now completely believed her previous workaholic statement: "You are not from our class, there is no need to work as hard as us, and now that the body has been found, the next step is the forensic and on-site visits.

Yes, I will let you know if there is any further progress."

Furukawa Kumisa wanted to go back to the police station with them, but Edogawa Conan pulled his sleeve: "Furukawa-sama, please take a rest, it would be nice to have Officer Matsuda and the others here," he said, looking at Toru Amuro, "

Brother Amuro will drive Sister Furukawa home, right?"

Furukawa Kumisa's mind was suddenly filled with alertness: This kid is trying to trick her home address!

She immediately shook her head: "Ah, no need..."

Toru Amuro was the first to answer: "Okay, Officer Furukawa, let's go."

Furukawa Kumisa:……

Knowing that even if he refused again, they would find other excuses, Furukawa Kumisa wisely kept his mouth shut.

This was not the first time that Bourbon had sent her home, but after getting in the car, he still asked for the address, turned on the navigation, and drove to the destination.

As soon as Edogawa Conan sat down, he began to sing: "Furukawa-sister..."

Furukawa Kumisa looked in the rearview mirror at the Shinigami elementary school student sitting in the back seat, made a decision immediately, closed his eyes, tilted his head, sat in the passenger seat and started pretending to sleep.

Seeing no answer, Edogawa Conan poked his head into the front seat: "Sister Furukawa?"

Furukawa Kumisa continued to close her eyes and pretend to sleep - to be honest, she was a little overwhelmed by Edogawa Conan's inexplicable interest and enthusiasm that seemed to have developed in her overnight.
To be continued...
