Chapter 926 The Mysterious Intruder of the Kudo Family
The weather in Neon is a bit weird.
It was so cold yesterday that people wanted to wrap themselves up like penguins. After just one night, the whole city seemed to be shrouded in an invisible, impenetrable heat.
There was not a single cloud in the sky, only the dazzling sunlight pouring down mercilessly, like an invisible flame, baking the earth hot.
Ah, maybe it’s not the weather in Neon that’s weird, but the weather in the world of science is a little weird?
The weather was too hot and Youye had no interest in going to school, so he decided to skip class.
Miyano Shiho lay on the sofa with half-closed eyes, looking dead. It seemed that the hot shells had sunk the small boat named Miyano Shiho.
"Why is it so hot?" Miyano Shiho turned over weakly, one leg fell on the carpet, and her silk pajamas were lifted up, revealing a large area of snow-white skin covered with drops of fine, crystal clear sweat.
Youya walked out of the kitchen with two cans of iced cola in his hands. The cans were already covered with mist as he took them out of the refrigerator.
He walked to the sofa, looked at Miyano Shiho who was in a state of disarray, couldn't help but smile, and secretly bent down to put a can of Coke on her calf.
"Ah!" Miyano Shiho screamed, and quickly retracted her legs, curled up in a ball, and glared at Yuya, "Rascal!"
Yuya chuckled, sat next to her, and handed her the Coke: "Cool it down."
Miyano Shiho's eyes lit up. She didn't care about her messy pajamas. She hurriedly grabbed the Coke, opened it with a puff, gulped down half of the can, and then burped.
"Comfortable~"
Although my favorite drink is still coffee, in this kind of weather, iced cola is more suitable.
Youya smiled, reached out to straighten Miyano Shiho's pajamas, then opened his can of Coke and took a big gulp.
"Burp!" It was also a loud burp.
The two looked at each other subconsciously and couldn't help laughing.
Miyano Shiho tugged at his collar, fanned the air inside with his hands, and asked, "Has the air conditioner repairman not arrived yet?"
Youya sat upright, tilting his head slightly, his eyes constantly looking into her collar, while he said, "I just asked, and they said it would take about an hour."
Miyano Shiho didn't notice this and sighed slightly: "It's going to take so long? I feel like I'm going to die of the heat before he comes."
She turned her head and glanced at the cage in the corner of the living room: "Fortunately, I sent Tuanzi to the pet store in advance, otherwise it would not be able to withstand such high temperatures."
Even humans are exhausted by the heat, not to mention the ferrets who are not heat-tolerant.
Yuya thought about it and suggested, "How about we go to the Shin's house for a while? Mr. Subaru should be home, why don't we go and use the air conditioning?"
Miyano Shiho immediately agreed: "Okay!" She really couldn't stay in this stuffy house for another minute.
The two of them immediately changed their clothes, and then crossed the road under the scorching sun and came to the gate of Kudo's house.
Yuya pressed the doorbell, and soon Subaru Okiya's voice came from the intercom.
"Which one?"
"It's me, Subaru-san."
"Yuya-kun? Is there something wrong?" Okiya Subaru's voice sounded a little surprised.
Yuya told him about the broken air conditioner at home, and Subaru Okiya immediately came out and opened the door.
Okiya Subaru looked at the two sweaty people and said, "You should have come earlier."
Youye smiled awkwardly: "I was worried that no one would be home when the air conditioner repairman came. I didn't expect so many people's air conditioners were broken today, and he hasn't come yet."
The three of them entered the house.
Subaru Okiya was still very frugal and only turned on the air conditioner in the living room.
There was an ice bucket on the table with several cans of coffee sandwiched between the ice.
Subaru Okiya asked casually, "Would you like Coke or coffee? In this kind of weather, we suggest you drink Coke."
Yuya nodded, "Coffee, I just had a Coke."
Okiya Subaru nodded slightly and pointed to the ice bucket on the table: "Then take it yourselves." Then he sat on the sofa, pinched his chin, and continued to stare at the notebook.
Yuya took a sip of his icy cold coffee and asked casually, "What are you doing?"
Without even turning his head, Okiya Subaru replied: "I'm watching the surveillance at home. I always feel like someone is watching this place lately."
"Huh?" Yuya and Miyano Shiho looked at each other, then quickly walked behind Okiya Subaru and watched the surveillance video together.
What was displayed on the screen was a night surveillance video.
Okiya Subaru kept switching the screen and dragging time, but no one else appeared in the screen except Okiya Subaru who went out and returned home.
After watching a video, Okiya Subaru put down the mouse and said, "That's it, the surveillance camera didn't capture anything."
Yuya frowned slightly: "Could it be your illusion?"
Subaru Okiya shook his head: "At first I thought it was an illusion. But one morning, I deliberately cut off the circuit at home before going out. When I came back in the evening, I found that the electric meter had moved forward a little bit."
"This has happened several times. I have confirmed that all electrical appliances and even the refrigerator have stopped working. The surveillance camera uses an independent power supply, so..."
Yuya's eyes narrowed slightly: "Has anyone been to the house, and turned on the lights?"
Miyano Shiho guessed: "Could it be that Xiaolan came here to clean?" Before, Ran Mouri would come to the Kudo family to clean every once in a while, so maybe it was her this time?
Okiya Subaru shook his head: "No, I asked Xiaolan, and she said she hasn't been here. In fact, she hasn't come to clean since I moved in here."
When Yuya and Conan agreed to lend their house to Okiya Subaru, they did not ask for rent. In return, Okiya Subaru personally took on the task of cleaning the house.
Ran Mouri came a few times after that, but after finding that the Kudo house was very clean, she was surprised that Okiya Subaru was so good at housework as a single man, so she felt relieved and never came again.
Yuya's expression became a little solemn, and Miyano Shiho stopped talking.
Subaru Okiya did not say anything, but continued to scroll through the surveillance footage, trying to find something suspicious in it.
But unfortunately, the person who broke into the house seemed to know the location of the surveillance cameras very well. Subaru Okiya looked several times but didn't find anything suspicious.
More importantly, the camera covered all the entrances to and from the house, but did not capture anyone except Okiya Subaru.
Suddenly, Yuya reached out and pressed the space bar, and Subaru Okiya looked up in surprise.
You didn't say anything, but moved the picture forward a little, pointed at the screen and said, "Look here."
Okiya Subaru and Miyano Shiho immediately looked at the screen, only to see a corridor on the screen. In the lower right corner of the screen, there was an imperceptible black color.
It was this black spot that Yuya was pointing at.
"This is..." Okiya Subaru narrowed his eyes even tighter. He dragged the screen forward and backward and found that the black shadow was indeed a picture of something flashing by.
Subaru Okiya looked up in the direction of the study and said slowly, "It seems that the intruder entered the house through the study, but... is there any place there that can be used to get in?"
Yuya recalled the structure of the Kudo family and said slowly: "Maybe, I know where it is."
