"I have no idea."
Onoda Keita shook his head: "He only said that mother would come to pick me up later, and never let anyone in before mother came, and then disappeared..."
If you hadn't seen the coffin in the corridor and the contents of the black leather notepad, and just listened to Onoda Keita's story, no one would have imagined that 'Qianming's father' would be a kidnapper intent on killing people and burying their bodies.
But, for what reason would such a person abandon his child and then disappear?
Conan followed suit and asked: "Did he leave the villa? Apart from asking you to stay here and wait for your mother, has he done anything strange..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Gengyi suddenly glanced at the big head with a dark gaze and interrupted:
"Shut up."
Well……
Conan choked and moved his lips several times, but finally chose to remain silent.
However, Ye Gengyi really wasn't targeting Conan intentionally this time.
After all, it is important to know the kidnapper's movements now, but what he cares about is not 'missing', but the words 'don't let anyone in'...
Because just a second ago, Ye Gengyi heard a sound different from the ticking sound of rain falling from the eaves to the wall.
Not very clear, but close.
The location seemed to be right around the corner from where they had gone no further before.
Click...
At the same time, the lights in the corridor came on.
It also made everyone's eyes fixed on the water surface directly ahead, where layers of steam and ripples were constantly rising.
"Huh? Is someone taking a bath in the bathroom?" Ayumi guessed.
"You guys step back and don't touch the water."
The time period between the power outage and the incoming call is a bit too coincidental...
Ye Gengyi was about to go from the kitchen to the entrance to put down the electric switch. Before leaving, he added: "Especially you, Conan."
"..."
A certain detective boy froze as he subconsciously prepared to rush over to find out.
It wasn't until Ye Gengyi's figure disappeared from sight that Conan turned to look at Haiyuan Ai and lowered his voice:
"Ahem...did I offend Brother Gengyi somewhere?"
"Have you offended not many people?" Hui Yuan Ai squinted at him.
Conan: "..."
Huh, in this case, I have to go over and have a look... uh, sneak over...
…
A few seconds later, the lights in the villa went out again.
Ye Gengyi did not continue the detour, but carefully paid attention to the slipperiness under his feet and went straight to the bathroom.
A photo floats near my feet.
The above seems to be a group photo with the piano room as the background.
A man, a woman and a little girl look at the camera and smile happily.
Ye Gengyi didn't pick up the photo. He stretched out his hand to hold the door handle and pressed it down. The lock tongue made a faint click sound, and as expected, the door was locked from the inside.
Immediately, he attached a nanorobot to the side of his arm, and his thoughts flashed:
"...Xiaobai, simulate the sensor for detection."
The working principle of explosive detectors is based on the reaction of specific gases or chemicals released by explosives with sensors in the detector, thereby detecting them.
Different from the coffin placed in the corridor, the steam generated by the warm water in the bathroom was just enough for Ye Gengyi to test the program he wrote when he was in Hakone Hot Spring.
Ye Xiaobai quickly reported:
[Sir, the sensor did not detect gunpowder chemical particles... However, it seems to smell like rust. Because the composition is too low, it is temporarily impossible to judge whether it is red blood cells. 】
Warm water...bathroom...suspicious smell of blood...don't let anyone in...
Did the kidnapper commit suicide inside?
After judging that there would be no additional risk in breaking in, Ye Gengyi no longer hesitated and immediately kicked the wooden door with a side kick.
Conan has sneaked over now, so he won't show off his lock-picking ability casually.
Clang.
The wooden door was kicked open.
Conan hurriedly approached and shined the beam of his flashlight inside.
The inside of the bathroom can be seen at a glance. In addition to the toilet, there is also an inner room with a large amount of hot water.
I saw a man wearing a white shirt and black trousers, lying on the edge of the bathtub.
Due to the light, the water surface is not very visible, but what is certain is that the water in the bathtub is indeed dyed a light red.
Ye Gengyi looked around the bathroom as usual, then walked over and sniffed the other person's breath:
"Still alive..."
When Conan heard this, he immediately found a towel and tied the man's arm tightly to stop the bleeding.
The wound on the man's wrist was not deep, and the amount of bleeding was less than expected.
Without hot water to soak the wound, there was no need to worry about him bleeding to death in a short period of time.
Later, Ye Geng dragged him to the corridor. While calling the police and ambulance, he also learned from Onoda Keita that this man was indeed 'Qianming's father'.
Did the kidnapper really choose to commit suicide?
Crisis resolved.
In the bright room, Conan frowned slightly, wondering why a kidnapper who had planned to kill people would suddenly change his attitude 180 degrees.
Hmm... maybe it has something to do with this diary...
He thought of a possibility and immediately opened the black leather notepad to try to solve the doubts in his heart.
As a result, before he could study it carefully, a hand suddenly reached out from above. Conan watched helplessly as Ye Gengyi took the thing away:
"Don't touch things, this is physical evidence."
"Eh?! But there are still puzzles that haven't been solved yet..." Conan said.
"Does that have anything to do with you? Go play over there."
Ye Gengyi waved his hand, signaling the other person to stay away from him.
This guy is so evil, he is actually planning to continue investigating? If another case is uncovered, will they be able to go back?
Conan: "..."
Damn it, don’t think that you will give up on the investigation!
Ye Gengyi didn't have the ability to read minds. Seeing that the boy left obediently, he quickly used the time he had spared to continue sorting out the previously collected data.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Dr. A Li arrived faster than the police and ambulance.
However, when Ye Gengyi saw several people who came here together, he raised his eyebrows without deliberately controlling his emotions.
The person wearing round glasses and having the same curly hair as Onoda Keita must be the other person's mother...
Since the kidnapper had notified the other party to come here to pick her up, it was understandable that the doctor would meet her halfway.
The problem is that……
"Hehe! Brother Gengyi, long time no see. I still have work...cough, little brother Conan~"
"H-Hattori... uh, no... Heiji-nii?! Why are you here?"
Ye Gengyi automatically ignored the two detectives' greetings that sounded like wisdom. Looking at the black man, he thought of some possibility:
"Did you receive a commission to find this child?"
"Well, I did receive a commission, but it's not about this..."
Hattori Heiji shrugged, "Originally I planned to give you a surprise, but who knew that all of you were not at home. Just when I was hesitating whether to call you all, I was lucky enough to meet A Li who was going to rent a car. Uncle, and then we came here with him.”
Therefore, even if the van was not damaged and returned to Mihua Town smoothly, they would still encounter this black man who likes to show up inexplicably without calling in advance... Ye Gengyi died.
