There is nothing wrong with what Conan said. In Japan, people usually enter other people’s homes to change into slippers at the entrance, so there should be footprints when they go in, and there should be footprints when they come out. There is no such thing as stepping on the mud.
"And this shoe print looks like a sneaker print. If it's your colleague, auntie, wear sneakers..." Conan didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious. The Japanese workplace is quite serious, and you can’t wear it casually at work, especially in the lawyer’s profession, where the fixed configuration is the suit and leather shoes, how can you wear sports shoes.
Is it too strange that this colleague of Ito Misari is going to go back to change clothes after meeting her here before going to work. The more he asked, the more Conan discovered that there was a problem with Misa Ito, and the problem was probably not small. Otherwise, why would she refuse to admit it? Conan has clearly said that there is a problem. If it's just a trivial matter, why don't you just explain what's wrong?
However, Misari Ito continued to hide it, thought for a while and said, "Oh, those are auntie's shoes. In fact, auntie went out for a morning run in the morning, so that's why the shoe prints of the sneakers were left. I think now Get up. Of course I've taken the shoes to the wash because of the dirt on them."
"Oh, so that's the case." Although Conan here seemed to believe her explanation, he actually became more suspicious. However, Ito Misari's statement is indeed reasonable, and Conan agrees with the situation, dispelling her vigilance.
Naturally, he will continue to follow up, but he doesn't know what's going on at the moment, so he decided to investigate on his own first, and it's not time for a showdown with the other party.
"I'm sorry Aunt Ito, I'm just curious about everything." Conan apologized, "I'm fine now, I'll just..."
I was just about to say goodbye, but what I didn't expect was a sudden "boom" from upstairs, as if something hit the ground. This sudden situation made Ito Misari's face change, and of course Conan's side too.
"Huh? What's the sound?" Conan asked again, "Didn't Auntie say that there is no one at home? This is upstairs..."
"Hmm... that..." Apparently Misari Ito probably knew what the sound was, but there was no way to explain it. While thinking about what to do, suddenly there was a meowing sound from the stairs on the second floor.
"Meow..." The cat that Ito Misa was holding just now appeared at the stairs on the second floor. Seeing it, Ito Misari's face brightened: "Oh, I'm also surprised, so it's you, little guy!"
After she finished speaking, she also turned to Conan and said: "You see, this little guy made trouble. I guess he knocked over something upstairs again. I'm going to clean it up here. Do you have anything else to do?"
"Oh...that's it." Conan nodded, as if accepting what Misari Ito said. But in fact, he didn't waver at all. The sound was obviously like the sound of hitting the ground, rather than the sound of something falling. Sure enough, there were people upstairs, but... what the hell is going on? What is Misari Ito hiding? He really couldn't push it up.
After thinking about it, he still decided not to startle the snake casually, and go out to check the situation of Misari Ito first, and monitor what she is going to do by the way. Thinking of Conan going to leave the bug on his glasses at home, and then going to back out and spy on the door.
Of course, under normal circumstances, it must be done according to Conan. After all, now he just thinks Misari Ito is suspicious. He doesn't know what to hide, and he is not sure that the other party must have committed a crime. What if it's just a misunderstanding?
But the problem is that Linton is still here. Regardless of what Misari Ito did on Linton's side, he doesn't have time to accompany Conan to investigate slowly. So now just confirm that Conan lost the bet.
So Linton didn't say a word, and without taking off his shoes, he walked directly towards the stairs. Misari Ito’s house is still a relatively common Japanese-style building layout. The stairs on the second floor are facing the gate, and you can directly go up to the second floor when you enter the door. When Linton walked towards the second floor, Misari Ito was in a hurry .
"Wait!" Ito Misari stopped Linton directly, "Who let you in? You are breaking into a private house! I want to call the police..."
"Report." Linton said with a smile, "Shall I report for you?"
"You..." Misari Ito was taken aback for a moment, what did the other party find? Have you noticed something is wrong? Otherwise, how could he agree to call the police by himself. At the beginning, she only suspected that Linton and Conan had discovered something, but she was not that suspicious. It would be best to explain the other party away with a little explanation. But I didn't expect Linton to be so sure about breaking in now. This is not right. It seems that I must... plan for the best and worst.
Linton ignored Misari Ito and continued walking up the stairs. Misari Ito obviously didn't expect Linton to move so fast, and immediately caught up to the second floor.
Walking up to the second floor, the space here is not very large, it is a corridor surrounded by rooms. At first glance, it was quiet, and it didn't look like there was anyone. The doors of several rooms were also open, and after a little inspection, it seemed that there was no one there. "I told you that there is no one in the house, so what's the matter with you?" Ito Misari who caught up said very upset, "For the neighbor's sake, go out immediately, I don't care about you, otherwise I immediately called the police."
Conan also took a quick look at the situation on the second floor. He also found that there was really no one on the second floor, which was really strange. However, he is still not sure what Misari Ito is hiding, and he is more looking forward to a long-term plan, to withdraw first.
After thinking about it, Conan also laughed and said, "That's right, Brother Linton must have felt that there was something moving on the second floor, and he was worried that a thief or something was lurking in. Isn't it more dangerous for Auntie to be at home alone? That's why he came up." Look at the situation, it's because I'm worried about my aunt's accident. Right, Brother Linton."
Speaking of which, Conan gave Linton a look, which obviously meant to go out first. But Linton never cared about Conan's thoughts. Besides, he had a wall hanging, and he clearly knew the current positions of the five people in the house. It's not the second floor, but the attic above the second floor. Generally, the attic is like a warehouse, but now there are five people on it. Why are these five people crowded in the attic?
"Is that so?" Ito Misari continued following Conan's intentions. Of course, she also knew that the other party might be suspicious, not to catch a thief, but the problem is that she can't really call the police, otherwise it would be a problem for the JING police to arrest. . So she could only follow what Conan said, agreeing that the other party came up to catch the thief for herself, "Then you saw it too, there is no one in there, and there are no thieves, you can go."
"How about up there?" Linton pointed to the top of his head, "How do I go up to the attic?"
"..." Misari Ito's face darkened, she was indeed in the attic, did the other party guess? So are you sure someone's in there? What now?
After thinking about it, she felt that there was nothing she could do. Even if I drive them out now, the other party will probably be suspicious, and maybe the police will be called. Since this is already the case, we can only solve these two people.
So Misa Ito amplified her voice a little, and said to Linton: "You want to go up to the attic? The stairs are over there, do you see the handle over there? Pull it down and you will come down, but there is nothing in the attic, yes empty."
It sounded like she was showing Linton the way, but in fact she was telling the accomplices upstairs to get ready, telling them that the person who came up was not herself.
Linton was too lazy to talk to the other party, so he pulled the handle next to him, and sure enough, there was a staircase next to him, which was a very common folding staircase. Stack it up when not in use to save space. After all, the attic is just a storage room, and ordinary families don’t go up it very much.
Linton walked up the stairs quickly, and the attic was a bit dark. Linton walked from a bright place to a dark place, and before he could see clearly, when he probed, Linton felt something pressing against his temple.
"It's really nosy, you bastard." A voice came from the side, Linton took a look, and found two men blocking the stairway, one on the left and one on the right, all with faces of "I'm a bad guy" The expression on his face was probably Misari Ito's accomplice, who blocked him here when he heard the movement below, and held him with a gun as soon as he came up.
After sweeping the situation inside, there was a man lying on the ground here, who seemed to be injured, and fell to the ground without any movement. But I can feel the breath, the other party is a living person, not dead yet.
In addition, Linton also saw two people in the innermost place, a man and a woman, who were not very old, probably like high school students. These two people have their hands behind their backs, and it looks like they were tied together, so the current situation looks like kidnapping at first glance. The meat ticket is these two high school students, and the guy lying on the ground doesn't know what's going on. .
"Come on, come up." The prisoner, who was holding a gun to Linton's head, said to Linton. After all, Linton just poked his head and didn't go up to the attic.
"Why are you so stupid." The male high school student suspected of being kidnapped in front of him said to Linton, "No one would come up directly in this situation."
"No, you kidnapped meat ticket is still so arrogant?" Linton said with a smile.
"Are you told to talk? Shut up and come up!" The prisoner next to him was very upset when he saw that Linton was still chatting with the people inside. It was to smash Linton's head.
However, in the next second, with a "bang", the prisoner who swung the gun suddenly exploded like a balloon. Warm flesh and blood flew around in an instant, and the entire attic was suddenly dyed bloody.
The male high school student who wanted to say something here was directly splattered with blood, and he was stunned. And the female high school student behind her was stunned for a while, then rolled her eyes and passed out.
