After correlating and comparing the sampled data, Ye Gengyi brought Kuroba Kaito to an apartment.
In London, a city with tall buildings, these two apartment buildings, built side by side, are only 5 stories inconspicuous.
Time has left some traces on its appearance, but if you look closely, you can also find its uniqueness.
The marble porch is decorated with complex and exquisite carvings, and occasionally a few patches of moss that have not been cleaned can be seen on the red brick walls.
Kuroba Kaito looked around at the neatly arranged apartment windows decorated with white patterns, and whispered:
“Victorian-era architectural style looks a bit old…”
"Assuming there is no one living inside, would it be difficult to randomly designate a house for you to vacate?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Brother, please don't disturb the scenery, okay..."
Kuroba Kaito looked at someone helplessly and thought for a moment:
"Well, it must not be difficult. The transportation here is not very convenient. Because of the early planning issues, there is no parking lot nearby. It is a common problem in old buildings."
"Low traffic means that no matter what happens, the news will be transmitted slower than in bustling areas." Ye Gengyi added.
"Does that guy who spreads murder notices everywhere really live here?" Kuroba Kaito looked around habitually.
Before, he watched Ye Gengyi's selection process. It was a bit regretful that the sales bill for the corresponding model of printer only accurately stated the street.
"It would be scary not to live here." Ye Gengyi said.
"What?"
Kuroba Kaito was puzzled at first, but he soon figured it out... I must have wanted to say that continuing to search would be a waste of time.
... There are less than three and a half hours until 7 o'clock for dinner at Sunak Hotel, so we need to speed up.
"Nothing, I'll give you this...we'll look for it separately."
Ye Gengyi chose an apartment and walked in without explaining.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the sunlight slanted in from the staircase window.
Kuroba Kaito was holding the cat-eye mirror given to him by Ye Gengyi and was observing the indoor situation of a certain house.
At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded from behind.
how come? It's too close...
A certain Kaito thief boy felt his heart tremble, knowing that his current actions would leave no room for explanation to anyone who looked at them.
Smoke grenades and stun guns slipped from the cuffs into the palms of hands.
Kuroba Kaito turned around and prepared to take action first, but what he saw face to face was the disguised face of Gao Yuanyu.
It’s... bro.
"Did you notice anything unusual?"
Ye Gengyi adjusted the rhythm of his steps, and there was no sound anymore when the soles of his shoes stepped on the ground.
"Not yet." Kuroba Kaito asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
"The investigation of that building has been completed." Ye Gengyi said.
it's over? !
This efficiency is more than twice as fast as his own... Kuroba Kaito glanced at the house number blankly.
Room 305 on the 3rd floor of Apartment B.
"Brother, are you sure the investigation is clear?" A certain Kaitou boy looked suspicious.
No wonder he would ask that.
He was able to investigate the third floor in such a short period of time because there was a Wimbledon tennis match today and most of the residents were not at home.
Even because of this, when he was investigating the second floor, when he sneaked into a house, he almost woke up the resident who was napping on the sofa.
Even though he was like this, how did he manage to quickly search a building and then come here to look for him? ? ?
"There will be no problem. Move quickly. If you are not here, we will be busy with the rest..." Ye Gengyi was too lazy to explain.
These two apartment buildings are not the only ones on the same block.
He just thought about it and prioritized the areas with the greatest potential for screening. If he was really unlucky, it would be completely reasonable to have no gains at all today.
"oh……"
Kuroba Kaito knew that now was not the time to chat, so he could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and continue to turn his head to look at the cat-eye mirror.
"Eh?"
"What's wrong?" Ye Geng stopped.
Kuroba Kaito whispered: "This family must have closed all the doors. It looks a bit dark..."
One of the special features of the apartments is that their internal structures are almost identical.
As for room 305...
"The windows are closed and the air conditioner is not working," Ye Gengyi said.
He had observed this information downstairs in the apartment.
Hearing this, Kuroba Kaito frowned as expected.
Although the highest daytime temperature in London in July is only 25 or 26 degrees Celsius, it is a city that is humid all year round. Why should we close the doors and windows and not turn on the air conditioner?
Even the other families who are out will not leave the room in this state...
Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito are not the police who come to investigate the case in a formal manner.
They don't need to consider whether the resident is a special case or has any doubts?
Then just invade illegally.
"Get your stun gun ready."
Ye Gengyi reminded him and then opened the door.
As the crack in the door slowly widened.
A musty smell mixed with the toilet cleaning spirit floated in the air, giving people the feeling of entering a bathroom that was being cleaned.
Sure enough there is a problem!
Kuroba Kaito originally wanted to complain about someone's ability to pick locks so efficiently, but when he realized something was wrong, he immediately stopped playing and became more vigilant.
He then stepped into the entrance hall and kept a distance of more than one meter from Ye Gengyi, so that he could have space to dodge in case of emergencies.
There was a faint sound of water or something dripping from the front.
The nanorobot overflowed from Ye Gengyi's palm. He raised his arm and pressed it against the door that, judging from its position, should be the living room.
squeak……
The hinges snap together, revealing the view inside.
Ye Gengyi couldn't help but frowned.
Almost at the same time, Kuroba Kaito's pupils shrank uncontrollably.
I saw two bloody corpses lying in the living room, and the carpet used to simply wrap them had been stained scarlet with blood.
Look along several bottles of toilet cleaning spirit.
A row of already solidified bloody footprints extended from the two corpses, passed the sofa, and apparently went further into the room.
"It has been more than 12 hours since death."
After Ye Gengyi observed the scene, he reminded emphatically: "Don't touch anything, adjust your mentality, we can't be related to this murder case, and we must pay attention when we evacuate later."
"……Um."
Kuroba Kaito came back to his senses and murmured in a low voice: "This... was all done by that person?"
pretty close……
Ye Gengyi followed the bloody footprints and walked in. As expected, the room was connected to the study room, and a color printer was placed on the cabinet.
When Kuroba Kaito saw this scene, something Ye Gengyi said outside the apartment suddenly came to mind.
——It’s scary if he doesn’t live here.
