Chapter 971 Bamboo Shoots in the Snow

"The reason for going to someone else's house just because you saw the painting materials discarded on the ground is indeed too far-fetched." Conan analyzed to himself, "And even if Officer Ogawa is a newcomer, he is not so simple about protecting the crime scene. You don’t know anything about it, right? Besides, Officer Morofushi was nearby at the time, and his subordinates were not wearing gloves. Didn’t he also notice it? Even so, it’s still strange that only Officer Ogawa’s fingerprints are left.”

"In short, this Officer Zhufu is very suspicious." Conan shook his head and sighed, "Maybe this case is a proof question."

"boom--"

Conan has an ice cream ball growing on his forehead.

The blow came so suddenly that he was caught off guard!

Conan held his head and wailed: "Brother Asano, what are you doing! Why are you hitting me?"

The BGM at this time should be "You conduct a sneak attack, you can't afford it, you little trash".

Nobushige's sound of hitting Conan's head was loud, and Conan's condemnation was so loud that it almost immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Facing everyone's curious gazes, Nobufan smiled calmly and said, "Teach the naughty children a lesson and make you laugh."

"I remember that the painting materials that were thrown away only had the victim's fingerprints on them, right?" Yamato Gansuke was the first to look away.

However, Zhufu Gaoming, who was questioned by him, took a deep look at Nobuhiro before replying: "Yes, but only Ogawa's fingerprints were left on the door handles and paint cans of this house."

Xinfan still had a gentle smile on his face, but a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

His concentration always seems to be particularly poor in front of his brother. Just a glance from Zhu Fu Gaoming can make him nervous for a long time.

Yamato Gansuke smacked his lips and shook his head: "This Ogawa's luck is too bad, everything can involve him. When this case is over, you'd better suggest him to go to the shrine to pay homage."

"Monsters, monsters, gods, Buddhas and monsters are the only way for those with a weak heart to escape from the world." Zhu Fu Gaoming disagreed, "It's not as good as those who seek to kill people."

The corners of Mouri Kogoro's mouth twitched and he sneered: "It's starting again. Officer Morofushi started saying strange and incomprehensible words again."

Originally, Wen Crepe was the way Zhufu Gaoming always spoke, and he did not expect that Mouri Kogoro would understand. After the topic between him and Yamato Gansuke turned back to the case itself, Zhufu Gaoming couldn't help but sigh: "Bamboo shoots in the snow, bamboo shoots in the snow. It seems that we should visit those four people again and ask."

Before Mouri Kogoro could answer one of his confusions, a new one arose: "What are the bamboo shoots in the snow? What does this have to do with bamboo shoots?"

As he spoke, Mouri Kogoro's stomach made a sound, which made him so embarrassed that he wanted to find a gap to get in.

Yamato Gansuke looked at the time: "We came back from Tokyo in a hurry and haven't had dinner yet. The young man may be fine, but Mr. Mori may not be able to bear it anymore."

He looked around and finally looked at Morofuku Gaoming: "Well, let me take Mr. Mori to dinner and investigate the case. Aren't you going to visit the suspect again? Please take care of the child. As for Asano gentlemen……"

Nobushige immediately said: "As an agent, of course you have to be with your own detective."

"No, no, no." Yamato Kansuke shook his head, "Conan is a child after all, and it is better to have acquaintances around to take care of him. Then please ask Mr. Asano to go with Officer Morofushi."

"..." He understood, but Yamato Gansuke never thought of giving him a chance to choose.

When passing by Zhufu Gaoming, Yamato Gansuke specifically explained to him: "There may be some things during our investigation that children cannot hear, so I'll leave it to you."

Although Zhu Fu Gaoming felt confused, he still calmly agreed.

In short, there are only a few reasons why I dare to help you do this.

…

As soon as he got in the car, Mouri Kogoro was so excited that he geared up: "Where are we going to investigate the case now?"

"Aren't you hungry? Let's go eat first." Yamato Gansuke yawned widely, "I know there is a restaurant where the horse meat sashimi is particularly delicious. Let Uehara take us there."

Mouri Kogoro was confused: "Aren't we going to investigate the case?"

He was answered by Yamato Kansuke's lengthy purring.

Maori Kogoro:"……"

Really, this Yamato police officer looks even more unreliable than himself!

Yui Uehara, who was in charge of driving, smiled slightly when he saw this. Yamato Gansuke could hide it from others, but he couldn't hide it from her. He said he didn't want children to hear the contents of the investigation. He clearly let Conan follow Zhufu Gaoming on purpose.

And Mr. Asano, Xiao Gan also wanted him to follow him, right?

…

"The bamboo shoots in the snow..." Sitting in Zhufu Gaoming's car, Xinfan rubbed his eyebrows and looked like he had a headache, "It is indeed the bamboo shoots in the snow. There are too many strange things."

Bamboo shoots are something that sprouts in spring, and bamboo shoots in the snow refer to something absolutely impossible, just like Ogawa Yumatsu's fingerprints. Akashi Shusaku was locked in the studio for such a long time. According to common sense, he should have tried to open the door. There would be no chance that his fingerprints were not on the inner door handle. What's more, he also painted Chibi. How come there are only Ogawa Yumatsu's fingerprints on the red paint can?

Conan was sitting next to him. Unlike Asano Nobushige who was thinking carefully about the case, at least half of his attention was given to Morofushi Takaaki who was driving.

Suspicious, very suspicious.

However, no matter how suspicious Zhu Fu Gaoming is, he still cannot rule out the suspicion of the four people who lived together in the villa before finding conclusive evidence.

Their first stop was Naoki Suikawa's home.

Although it was already night, Naoki Suikawa opened the door for them: "Ah, it's Mr. Police from last time. I have already said everything that needs to be said about Akashi Shusaku."

"To tell you the truth," Zhu Fu Gaoming held the police manual with a serious look on his face, "In fact, we found your fingerprints on the door handle at the crime scene."

"Oh?" Suikawa Naoshu said in surprise, "I lived there six years ago. I didn't expect that there were still fingerprints."

Conan quickly asked: "So, since you moved away six years ago, you have never gone back?"

"Yes. But who is this child?"

"It's a lost child." Nobuhiro explained, "We have to take care of him for a while until we find his family."

Conan had no sense of being a lost child: "Hey, you must be Naoki Sone. I've seen you on TV, always playing corrupt officials!"

Naoki Suikawa was slightly stunned: "Yes, Naoki Sone is my stage name. Because I am always called green and green, it seems that I have not yet become independent from the House of Hope."
