The place where this person was found.
This was a very important clue.
The police investigated all the information about this person very seriously.
Especially the places that might be related to that place.
In the end, they could only come to one conclusion.
When they were young, they went to Didan High School.
This was a place that they would have passed by at that time.
Just like that, Fuuma Nobunaga began to search for the two old people's classmates.
How many years had passed since then?!
Some of them had already passed away, some of them had moved abroad, and some of them had gone to some unknown place.
They were still the police.
No matter how hard it was to find them, they could still find some people that they could still find.
Especially someone who had contact with a retired teacher at the school.
Fuuma Nobunaga learned some things from that teacher.
They had a good friend at that time.
They could still find this person.
When he heard this news, Conan Edogawa's expression was simply too happy.
Finally, there was some progress.
And this old man slowly helped him find a way to contact that person.
Some things couldn't be explained through a phone call.
So Fuuma Nobunaga and Conan Edogawa decided to personally meet their good friend.
That person's residence wasn't too far from here.
They didn't take too long to reach there.
This place looked especially desolate.
It didn't look like a place where people would live.
After seeing this scene, Conan Edogawa couldn't help but frown.
This was where he was staying, as they had heard on the phone.
It was also very similar to what the old man said.
Doorbell.
Fuuma Nobunaga tried to press the doorbell here.
Unfortunately, it was probably because it had been too long.
The doorbell had long been broken and could not make any sound at all.
This police officer seemed to know this as well.
He could only turn around and knock on the door.
If this was the case, it would be useful, right?
At least that was what he thought at first.
In the end, he remembered that when he called this person before, this person took a long time to answer.
Every time he spoke, he had to speak very loudly for the other party to hear.
It seemed like … knocking on the door was useless.
His ears weren't very good anymore.
He was clearly much younger than their teacher.
Just like that, Fuuma Nobunaga didn't care anymore. He forcefully pushed open the door and walked in with the primary school detective.
Then, a wave of gloomy coldness hit him in the face.
This place really … didn't have any signs of people living here.
What was going on?
Conan Edogawa couldn't help but hug his own shoulders tightly.
It was still so cold in this season.
They went around looking for the old man.
Bit by bit, he moved forward to search.
This house is really big.
How long would it take for them to find him? They would just walk over from here.
There was a thick layer of dust on the ground.
It was as if no one had lived here for a long time.
Fuuma Nobunaga couldn't help but frown.
However, they still searched everywhere.
Thus, he chose another path.
He finally found it.
The old man was at the back door.
The room was ablaze with lights.
The old man sat quietly in his wheelchair.
He didn't seem to be thinking about anything.
He just stared blankly ahead.
It was as if he was thinking about too many things.
There was no one to talk to.
Fuuma Nobunaga walked to the old man's side.
He purposely made his voice a little softer and said some very casual words to her.
The old man seemed to have only just noticed him. He slowly regained his senses.
Then, he looked at him apologetically.
They had an appointment.
He had forgotten all about it.
He didn't open the door for them, so how did they get in?
He asked casually.
But he didn't seem to care about these things.
It had been a long time since anyone had come to his house.
It was really special!
This old man had no family.
He had always been alone.
Many years ago, when he was still young, he accidentally suffered a very serious injury.
Then, he stayed like that for a long time.
In the end, he couldn't walk anymore.
He could only earn himself a lot of money through words.
Just like that, time passed little by little.
After a few years of accumulation, he finally had a large sum of money.
As long as he lived frugally with this money, he could live the rest of his life in peace.
Not long after that, his eyesight wasn't very good.
As a result, he gradually began to write less.
He had locked himself up at home all this time.
Only when he needed to add some food to his house would he sit in his wheelchair and think of a way to go out.
He didn't leave through the front door.
He didn't know why.
He didn't want to leave at all.
Maybe it was because he liked the quiet.
You saw it, right?
That place should be covered in dust by now.
Then, he told the two of them that there was a towel in front. They could brush off the dust on their bodies.
There was no need to go through so much trouble!
They had walked through all kinds of places.
The dust didn't matter at all.
The dust was really strong.
It had already dirtied their entire calves.
The primary school detective even choked on it.
The old man silently agreed at first.
However, when he noticed that there was also a child, he tried to persuade them again.
This time, the primary school detective obediently agreed to it.
He wiped off all the dust on his face.
This time, he finally felt a little better.
The dust in this place was really scary.
The old man just looked at him like that.
Then, he told him that he forgot to tell them.
He was already old now.
Sometimes, his memory wasn't as good as it used to be.
The old man sighed.
Only then did he ask why they had come to see him.
He didn't know them, right?
Especially that child.
He didn't go out much since he was born.
Hehe.
Conan Edogawa smiled guiltily.
Then, just as he was about to pretend to be an innocent and cute child, Fuuma Nobunaga beat him to it.
They!
They just came here to ask about when he was still a high school student.
Everything was fine.
The police officer didn't go straight to the point.
But this old man didn't look stupid at all.
He just looked at them and shook his head with a smile.
They didn't need to do that.
Did they want to ask about that person?
That person who was very close to him in high school.
He was old.
He couldn't remember anything.
His eyes and ears weren't working well.
But this old man wasn't stupid at all.
He knew that they had gotten his contact information from his teacher.
They must have something important to ask him.
And at that time, he only had one friend.
They were really interested in this.
At this moment, Fuuma Nobunaga naturally agreed with this statement.
The old man didn't continue to ask him about it.
With a nostalgic expression on his face, he talked about the things that happened a long, long time ago.
Those beautiful things.
As long as he thought about it, it was all so beautiful.
Moreover, he seemed to have become many years younger. At that time, he was only a high school student.
He was a quiet person and didn't have many friends in school.
Until that person took the initiative to greet him.
They were friends.
That person's personality at that time was so good.
It was as if there was no one who didn't like him.
And he only became friends with him, a person who never talked to anyone else.
It was as if they were together forever.
There was never anyone who acted alone.
At that time, that man fell in love.
He fell in love with a beauty from the class next to his.
That person had many boys chasing her, and they used all kinds of methods.
That beauty wasn't moved at all.
At that time, that person was suddenly motivated.
He could definitely chase her down.
It was the boy who had made a solemn vow.
He was always so overconfident.
However, what he said was indeed true.
It didn't take long for the two of them to officially confirm their relationship.
And everyone who heard this news wasn't surprised.
Two people like them, if they didn't end up together, they didn't think there would be anyone worthy of them.
Just like that, the relationship between the two of them was recognized by everyone.
At that time, he was actually very happy for him.
Sure enough, everything he did was perfect.
This kind of happiness from the bottom of his heart didn't last for too long.
Because … after the two of them confirmed their relationship, he gradually realized that something had changed.
That person wasn't always with him.
He was always with his girlfriend.
He was forgotten.
