Judging from the current clues, Bandage Freak No. 2 has only two possibilities: choose one of the two, or the two are accomplices.

In Conan's dictionary, there is no such thing as "the prisoner is a character who has not yet appeared".

Let’s not mention the thin guy with a perm for now.

Chiba Kazunobu is the younger brother of Inspector Megure and is at the same level as Takagi.

Although he was mainly responsible for running errands at the murder scene, his presence was not as strong as Takagi's.

He didn't interact much with him, but Conan didn't want to easily suspect that he was an accomplice of the Bandage Man.

It's just that if Minase Youmu was imprisoned by his roommate, even if he was imprisoned elsewhere, Chiba, as a police officer, should be able to detect something.

"Officer Chiba, has anything unusual happened to you in the past two days? Even if it's a small thing."

Qianye lowered his head and looked at Conan. He didn't understand why Qin Zhibo and Conan were both concerned about his schedule before today, but he still looked up and thought about it.

"I've been on vacation these two days, and nothing special happened. Every day I just watch DVDs, sleep, eat, sleep, watch TV, and sleep."

A hint of disgust once again appeared on Yokomori Jugo's face. Why does this Tokyo detective feel so guilty?

Could it be that the Tokyo police are under too much pressure and need more rest?

"Are these activities all with your roommate?"

"Well, to tell you the truth, Kato and I both tend to stay at home and rarely go out unless necessary."

"What about sleeping? Do you sleep together too?"

"I don't know about that, Kato, have you ever gone out while I was sleeping in the past two days?"

Akira Kato on the other side shook his head blankly, "No."

At this moment, Chiba was like a prisoner being questioned, while Conan was like a policeman.

After getting a watertight answer, Conan still felt unsatisfied, and suddenly his eyes passed over Chiba's belly that could not be covered by the white shirt.

pregnant?

I remember Chiba was relatively thin a month ago. Why has he become so fat these days?

Suddenly, Conan's mind recalled the case of the bandaged man in Yuanzi's Villa. The murderer's belly was faked, but he was actually very thin.

Is Chiba’s belly too?

Thinking in his mind, Conan stretched out his hand out of nowhere and quickly touched Chiba's belly.

Secret skill: The scheming frog keeps touching your belly!

"ah!"

The unsuspecting Chiba was startled and actually screamed.

It's soft, but it has a normal meaty feel, not something else.

Conan summed up the feeling in his mind.

Qin Zhibo was watching from the side and probably guessed what Conan wanted to do.

It's rare that Conan, a native of this world, discovered this gem.

When they first met, Qin Zhibo remembered that Chiba Kazuno's figure was not that of a rolling ball, but rather capable.

At that time, the neck was still the neck.

But now, Chiba's neck has almost merged with her chin, and her ears can't be seen from the front.

If we calculate it according to the time of this world, we really haven’t seen each other for a few days. Why is it so long?

At this time, Henggou Shigego couldn't stand it anymore and said sternly: "Kid, didn't you say you were in a hurry and needed to go to the toilet? Why are you not in a hurry anymore?"

Conan: "."

Qin Zhibo stood up and came to the rescue: "I understand this child is Schrödinger's bladder, which is in an infinite superposition state of urinating and not urinating."

Henggou Chongwu: "Huh?"

Conan: "."

Seeing that there were no clues for a while, Conan had no choice but to go to the bathroom first and see if he could find any clues in other places in the apartment.

Qin Zhibo turned to look at Akira Kato and asked: "Mr. Kato, you are an employee of an antique trading company, what is your usual work content?"

Akira Kato was startled for a moment and replied: "I am mainly responsible for the appraisal of antiques in the company. Don't look at me like this, but I studied archeology when I was in college abroad."

Seeing Akira Kato pointing his finger at the explosive hair dye on his head and making self-deprecating remarks, Yokomori Jugo's inner doubts were reduced even more.

When I studied criminal psychology at the police academy, I made certain standard assessments of the real life of perverted kidnappers and murderers.

First of all, this type of person usually has a stable job but no fun or challenge at all.

Working 9 to 5 every day, living a regular life, he seems to be an inconspicuous ordinary person, and he has no specific interests and hobbies in life.

Living alone, not clubbing, not surfing the Internet, not in love, daily conversation is normal, rarely or even not socializing.

But in fact, people who live a stable life are more likely to be distorted in their hearts, commit some outrageous behaviors, and are eager to try bold and crazy crimes.

However, although Akira Kato has a stable job, judging from his life with the detective, his living habits are irregular.

His hobby is children's animation. His hair dyeing and perm with a similar explosion effect is very eye-catching among the crowd. At first glance, he doesn't look like an ordinary person.

Logically speaking, if the Bandage Freak has to wrap a bandage on his head every time he commits a crime, this kind of dyeing and perming should be the most taboo, because the shape of the head can easily weigh it down and be noticed by people around him.

Apart from these, it is common sense that a prisoner cannot choose to live with a police officer.

Moreover, during the time when the case occurred, there happened to be an alibi provided by the police, which is the most powerful evidence.

I'm afraid this trip will be in vain.

Henggou Shigego was mentally prepared to pursue him from Kanagawa to Tokyo but return in vain. He turned to look at Qin Zhibo, only to find that the two sides were still talking.

Qin Zhibo: "In which country are you studying abroad?"

Akira Kato: "America."

Qin Zhibo: "Studying archeology in the United States is a good choice. Which university is it? It can't be Miskatonic University, right?"

Akira Kato: "Ah, it's not such a powerful world-class school~ It's Oklahoma State University."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo looked calm and relieved.

"Since I am not an alumnus, I can safely announce it, Mr. Kato Akira."

"Or I should call you a 'kidnapper and murderer'."

In the toilet, Conan was peeing.

Although urgent urination was an excuse, after sitting in the car for an hour, I really needed to drink some water.

In the process of releasing the water, Conan was still thinking about who the kidnapper was.

Suddenly, the sound of "BIBI" sounded in the breast pocket.

Conan put on his pants and took out his detective badge from his pocket. It was this small object that made the sound.

"Hello?"

"Conan! Why don't you come out yet?"

Of course there were three little voices on the other side of the detective badge, and Conan was already mentally prepared.

"I am investigating now and will tell you when I have any clues."

As soon as Conan finished speaking, he saw an electrical appliance placed in the wash cabinet.

"This is."

Conan put away his detective badge, moved to the stool in the corner of the toilet, stepped on the stool and picked up the electrical appliance, and found that it was a household hair iron.

Home hair irons, when you think of Akira Kato’s hairstyle, it’s impossible to go to the barber shop to get your hair done often, I must have done it at home occasionally.

Conan jumped off the stool and continued to look around the toilet.

Taking advantage of a child's perspective, another thing luckily came into view.

In the gap between the sink and the wall, a corner similar to a piece of paper was exposed.

Conan quickly bent down and got under the suspended sink, dug his fingers into the gap, and pulled out the corner of paper.

Wow——

As a piece of paper was pulled out, other pieces of paper that had been forced in were also taken out one after another and scattered on the floor.

It turns out that these are not ordinary pieces of paper, but color photos.

Conan looked down at these photos, his pupils dilated, his mouth slightly open, and the shock on his face could not be concealed.

these are.!

In the living room, Qin Zhibo shocked everyone with his words.

Henggou, Chiba, and Kato who were present were all stunned, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

A few seconds later, Yokomori Shigego confirmed eagerly: "Did I hear you correctly? You said Kato was the kidnapper?"
