Chapter 59: The Unexpected Murderer
The boy squatted on the ground, looked at the blood on his fingertips, and rubbed his hands.
"What?" Officer Mumu and the others looked at him.
"What are you talking about, such a vicious murderer should be punished..." Mori Kogoro clenched his fists angrily.
"The blood on the ground just appeared yesterday, and it wasn't made by the prisoner. You see, he clearly cleaned up those organs, so how could he get blood all over the ground?" The boy stood up and patted clapping hands.
Everyone suppressed their discomfort and observed the heads neatly placed on the table and the assembled body standing beside them.
"Indeed, as Tsushima boy said, these are handled very cleanly..." Police Officer Megure thought.
"Then what are these bloodstains?" Mori Kogoro asked.
"I'm afraid the murderer, Mr. Takahashi, has already been killed." Shuji Tsushima stood at the door, looking around at the things in the bedroom, and said casually.
Kudo Shinichi:! ! !
However, if that Takahashi-san is killed...
Where would the body be?
Moreover, who killed him?
"I can't figure it out at all!" Edogawa Conan shouted holding his head.
"For corpses..." Shuji Tsushima walked up to the row of heads on the table, followed the direction of their eyes, and looked at the floor beside him.
He opened the things with his hands, squatted on the ground and knocked on the floor.
"Boom—boom—boom..."
On the third knock, he reached out to touch the grid on the floor, found a concave shape, and then lifted the floor away.
He was exposed facing the ceiling, with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, a man with a terrifying death appearance.
Most importantly, his head and limbs were also divided.
The blood had congealed and turned brown.
The eyes of the head placed on the table were facing him, and the scene was very much like a trial.
"Yo Xi, this is the prisoner we are looking for, Mr. Takahashi." The young man clapped his hands in distaste and said in a relaxed tone.
"This appearance is really scary, scary~"
"It really has nothing to do with cuteness." He whispered as if frightened.
"Since the prisoner has been found, I will take my leave." The boy stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait...wait a minute!" Officer Mumu stopped him.
"But, but this prisoner is dead, brother Tsushima is leaving? This means there is another prisoner." Edogawa Conan stopped in front of him.
"Yes, yes, boy Tsushima, another murderer who appeared..." Police Officer Mumu wondered.
The black-haired boy lowered his head, met a certain elementary school student's eyes, and then stretched out his hand to grab the other's face.
"But the commission I accepted was to find Mr. Hoshino's daughter, Nong..." He pointed to one of the heads on the table.
"I've already found it, and the prisoner is already dead, which saves Mr. Hoshino's time for revenge. My commission is over." The boy said casually.
"But...but...do you want to let another murderer go?" Edogawa Conan asked hesitantly.
What does this have to do with me? A murderer must be prepared to be killed.
Having said that, I don't hate the behavior of using violence to control violence.
And... I don't want to help you find someone! hey~
"In that case..." the boy seemed helpless.
"Then ask the client Mr. Hoshino. If he continues to entrust me to help him find the murderer of the criminal who killed his daughter, then I agree." He deliberately emphasized several words.
Kudo Shinichi: Hehe, I think Mr. Hoshino might not agree.
And so it is.
The middle-aged man who rushed over after receiving a call from Amuro Toru had reddish eyes.
Seeing everyone present, there was no time to say hello, and they rushed straight to the table, his daughter's head.
Holding her head and crying loudly.
When asked whether he would continue to entrust Shuji Tsushima to find the murderer who killed the prisoner.
The man shook his head silently.
"I hope this devil dies more than anyone else. Even if he doesn't die, I'm afraid I'll lose my fortune and find someone to kill him." The man said angrily.
"I am very grateful to the knight who avenged my daughter, so I am sorry, but I will not continue to entrust Master Tsushima to find that person for me." The man said calmly with an apologetic tone.
Kudo Shinichi gripped his hand tightly.
He could understand how the other party wanted to kill the prisoner after losing his daughter, and he also knew that the other party might be grateful to the murderer who killed the prisoner.
But……
"But, killing someone is a crime!" He couldn't help but say.
"That's for you, for me, he is a benefactor." The man looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to be so enlightened at such a young age, but he still shook his head and said.
"Thank you, Master Tsushima...for finding Nanako's body for me..." The man walked up to Shuji Tsushima, his tone even more somber.
"After all, I have accepted your commission." The boy said as a matter of course.
"Yes, thank you very much for your willingness to accept this commission. I will discuss the transfer of the restaurant with Butler Tanaka later..." The man nodded.
"Then... I'll take my leave first..." He left holding the body bag containing his daughter's remains.
"Then, did you hear it too? Mr. Hoshino has ended this commission." The boy said with a look of helplessness.
"This..." Officer Mumu fell silent.
But the other party is just a detective, it is the other party's choice whether to investigate the case, and the police cannot force the other party to investigate.
Well, it is actually possible, but the identity of the other party...
Police officer Mu Mu sighed inwardly.
"I'm sorry to trouble you today, Tsushima boy."
"It's okay, it's okay, isn't this very interesting." The boy said lightly, and turned to leave.
Amuro Toru also went out together silently.
"Even if Brother Tsushima is not here, I... ah... Uncle Maori will definitely find the murderer!" Conan suddenly said loudly.
"Well... this... of course... ahahahaha." Mori Kogoro rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly.
Kudo Shinichi: No! I will definitely find the murderer!
...
"Tsushima-kun already knows who the murderer is." Toru Amuro said firmly, looking at the young man who was walking ahead with swaying steps.
"Hey...Mr. Tou, do you know when a hunter will be frightened when he is killed?" The young man in front asked without looking back.
"...another hunter?" Toru Amuro thought for a while.
After all, after hunting, when you are full of ambition, you are killed by another hunter squatting behind you, and the prey is also picked up by the other party. What a terrible thing.
"No..." The boy turned around and faced him, walking backwards without stopping.
"It's when you're killed by the prey you think you're the most frightened." He walked backwards with his arms around his head.
"Prey? But..." Isn't his prey a group of four or five-year-old children?
Killed by a four or five-year-old child...
Amuro felt incredible in his heart.
"Huh? Mr. Tou thinks, does the appearance really represent the real age?" The boy asked in surprise.
If this is the case, Belmode should be an old woman with white hair and wrinkled face.
"...I just find it unbelievable." Toru Amuro said in silence for two seconds.
As they walked by, a little boy in a yellow hat and blue kindergarten clothes brushed past them.
"That little brother over there..." Shuji Tsushima greeted.
"Hey? Is big brother calling me?" The little boy looked around, turned around and asked.
He has short chestnut hair and brown eyes, and has a delicate face and looks innocent.
"Yes, something terrible happened ahead. The police and detectives are looking for bad guys over there. It's best not to go this way." Shuji Tsushima bent down and reminded softly.
"..." The boy's maroon eyes fluctuated violently, and he blinked.
"I see, thank you big brother." He raised his head and thanked innocently.
Then turned and walked the other way.
Watching his leaving back, Toru Amuro looked at the young man beside him.
No matter how I think about it, I don't believe that the other party is the one who kindly reminds the children to be safe.
And just mentioned being killed by the prey...
So the answer...
"That child just now, is the murderer?" He asked.
"Well, who knows." Shuji Tsushima said inexplicably.
Anyway, this case has nothing to do with him~
"I'm going back. I'm so tired. I don't want to accept any more requests. Bourbon should make this note bigger."
ps: In order to prevent readers outside the starting point from seeing it, the explanation is directly put in the text.
This wave, this wave is a criminal who only preys on children meets a murderer who only preys on such prisoners.
1: The murderer is a dwarf.
2: Dazai reminded him at the end that there are policemen and detectives in front of him, and according to the law that criminals usually return to the murder scene to observe, if he goes, he may be targeted, and according to Kudo Shinichi’s pupil size, he Maybe he let down his vigilance and got caught.
3: The murderer took his cue.
4: Dazai does not rely on intuition. If a detective like Kudo Shinichi relies on reasoning with the mind, then Dazai is a master of manipulating people’s hearts. Therefore, he is more suitable to be Moriarty than Sherlock Holmes Well.
