Chapter 344 Unexpected Visitor
That night, with the efforts of the police, they found a total of seven burnt animal carcasses from the river, including those found by Nobuhiro before.
Mrs. Kato insisted on comparing the DNA of the corpses with the hair of Xiaohua she collected, and finally determined that Xiaohua was among the seven corpses.
The police repeated the actions of Nobuhiro and Conan that night, but they failed to knock on Tanaka Kikue's door. The importance of cruelty to cats and dogs is different from that of murder. It takes some time to apply for a search warrant, so the police waited in ambush near Tanaka Kikue's house for half an hour and then returned without success.
This matter has been handed over to the police so far, and Conan was of course unwilling to do so, but his energy was quickly attracted away by the murder that happened next to him.
Nobushige couldn't turn a blind eye to Tanaka Kikue's behavior, because after all, in the original world line, Tanaka Kikue should have been imprisoned for murder. It was he who changed the plot and freed the murderer while saving the two victims.
The last time Aso stopped him from saving people, it was a warning. It made Nobushige realize that his small actions may have unpredictable effects on the subsequent plot. He was worried that Kikue Tanaka would do the same.
Countless homicide cases in the past have confirmed that bedwetting, animal cruelty and arson are the three major signs of a murderer. Tanaka Kikue's cruel behavior of killing animals means that the violence factor in her body has not disappeared.
Unlike others and even the police, Nobushige is the only one who knows that Tanaka Kikue really had killed him. It's just that he didn't want to judge Tanaka Kikue for the mistakes she hadn't committed yet.
Just like Mr. Subomoto and Aso Machi he helped, every character who appeared in the plot seemed to be liberated after that. They could have their own life and create their own value, instead of just living in the world Conan encountered. In a plot.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the characters in the plot that Nobuhiro is unable to change will no longer appear next to him or Conan. It's as if those people don't really exist, they are just NPCs.
So Nobuhiro always wants to do more.
However, as there are more and more such anomalies, the future becomes more and more confusing. How to go on this road, even Nobushige himself doesn't know now.
He has been paying close attention to the progress of this case. When it is inconvenient to contact Officer Megure, Nobushige will log on to the official website of the Metropolitan Police Department, which will occasionally publish some details of the case.
Only this time, Tanaka Kikue seemed to have disappeared from the world. No matter how much police force was deployed, there was still no progress.
After all, dead lives are just pets. The Metropolitan Police Department, which has many cases, cannot spend too much manpower and material resources on this, so the investigation was quickly terminated. A few days later, a rental advertisement for the apartment where Tanaka Kikue lived was posted on the website.
…
"Mr. Asano is inquiring about Miss Tanaka Kikue again?" Azusa Enomoto reluctantly put the coffee in Nobushige's hand, "It's been so many days and you still refuse to give up?"
"Thank you." Xinfan's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes quickly scanned the screen.
The current Internet has not developed to the point where there is no privacy, but you may be able to filter out some useful things from these news. For example, will Tanaka Kikue still can't help but kill small animals after moving to a new city? In that case, maybe the owner will post the message on the Internet.
Seeing that Mr. Asano had no intention of stopping to rest, Azusa Enomoto could only sigh and return to his job.
As the person who spent the longest time with Asano Nobushige in the music classroom, Enomoto Azusa felt that Mr. Asano was really busy. In addition to running the music classroom, he also had to take care of the Mori Detective Agency, and he seemed to still be doing some detective work.
Can anyone really handle so many things at once without chaos?
Perhaps even Nobushige didn't realize that he had unknowingly overtaken the legendary "employee emperor".
The wind chimes hanging at the door of the music classroom made a crisp sound.
Azusa Enomoto immediately put on a "professional fake smile" and said enthusiastically: "Welcome, are you inquiring about music lessons or want to see musical instruments?"
"I'm here to see Mr. Asano Nobushige."
After hearing his name, Nobuhiro looked up following the sound. He was stunned the moment he saw that person.
It's Shiratori Rensaburo.
"Officer Shiratori." Nobuhiro nodded in greeting.
He was not familiar with Shiratori Rensaburo. Although they had met before during the previous bombing case, everyone was eager to stop the criminal's actions and had no time to talk about topics unrelated to the case. After that, Nobushige and Shiratori Rensaburo had little contact.
Today Shiratori Rensaburo suddenly came to the music classroom to find him, which surprised Nobuhiro.
"I didn't disturb your work, did I?" Shiratori Rensaburo asked a little embarrassedly when he saw the computer.
Nobushige smiled and said: "No, I just use my free time to find news about Tanaka Kikue."
Shiratori Rensaburo said seriously: "I heard about this case. The Metropolitan Police Department has not given up the search, but it is just that it is temporarily unable to devote more energy to this matter."
"I can understand the Metropolitan Police Department's approach. Is this why you visited the music classroom today?"
Shiratori Rensaburo shook his head and said: "I came here today for personal matters. The tasks of the Metropolitan Police Department have been very heavy recently, and I often feel overwhelmed, so the Megure Police Department suggested that I come to your place to relax."
Xin Fan was speechless.
Officer Memu has never been here before, but he has already introduced business to him.
"Then do you want to sign up for a short-term music training class?" Nobuhiro asked.
Azusa Enomoto had already served Shiratori Rensaburo some tea with a discerning eye and handed him an admissions brochure.
Shiratori Rensaburo thanked him and took it. He glanced at it twice: "I'm afraid I don't have much time to learn musical instruments. If the basic training is too boring, it may not be able to relax."
It is not that he has never learned a musical instrument. On the contrary, Rensaburo Shiratori is also a well-educated person, and his right to speak in this regard is not weak at all.
Nobuhiro thought for a moment, then reached out and turned the brochure to the last page: "I think you can consider this interesting course with only three lessons. The focus of this course is not on learning musical instruments, but more on cultivating students' interest in music. , so the curriculum is relatively novel and interesting.”
"Then I'll leave it to you." Shiratori Rensaburo readily paid the tuition and joined the friendly family of Lufeng Music Classroom.
After completing the formalities, Shiratori Rensaburo suddenly asked curiously: "Mr. Asano, you manage the music classroom and detective agency by yourself. Are you usually under a lot of pressure?"
