Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"me?"

Gao Cheng was just about to get a chicken thigh, and found that everyone was staring at him and couldn’t help but withdraw his hands. Seeing that the host seemed to want to invite himself to play, he hurriedly laughed and said, “Actually, I am not very good at piano, because I will only learn a little when I encounter a piano-related case..."

"Oh, I see."

　　 "The first time Detective Jiroto encountered a piano-related case was Tsukage Island**, right? I remember using the piano score to leave a code."

　　 "Yes, I remember, that Doctor Chengshi was really impressive."

　　 "Huh." Gao Cheng watched everyone shift their eyes and talked about the previous case. He sighed in relief, and hurriedly wiped off the oil stains and food residue from his mouth.

　　 Very risky, almost ashamed...

　　 Xiao Ai teased on the side: "I don't think you are still famous in the music industry, great detective."

　　 "This kind of view is not scientific at all, and the musicians present are just a handful of people, and they cannot reach the level of the entire music industry."

　　 Gao Cheng retorted and returned to the table, suddenly feeling that someone was still looking at him, and when he turned around, he saw the boy's innocent eyes.

　　 Onoda Keita, known as the piano prodigy, has been watching this side curiously since just now, and he is also interested in the case that everyone is talking about, but he was quickly pulled away by his mother and left the hall.

　　 "What's wrong?" Gao Cheng asked strangely, "Did you leave so early?"

　　 "Yeah," Shirler Linxi said, "because I will continue to practice piano."

　　 Yuanzi listened to watching the little boy, mother and son leave through the aisle window: "It's so pitiful, if I live this way every day, I will definitely go crazy..."

"Yup."

　　 Shile Lianxi had a faint sadness in her eyes.

"Although I am not a genius, I am a child born in a music family. I can actually understand that feeling. Perhaps the reputation of the piano prodigy has become a heavy mountain for this child. Since moving here, it seems I didn't laugh much."

　　 "I can understand it very well," Xiao Ai walked with her arm in her arms, and she looked outside and whispered, "That mother's mood..."

　　 "Hello..."

　　 Gao Cheng saw Shi Le Lianxi a little confused, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Ai.

　　 At least pay attention to the identity of a child outside...

　　 "This kid likes to pretend to be an adult, haha."

　　 "Yes, is that right?" Shile Linxi saw Xiao Ai's unhappy face, sweating on her forehead.

　　 As expected, the detective's kid is not easy.

From the beginning to the end of the party, there were people playing the piano, sometimes light and sometimes low, it was almost like attending a concert, but the atmosphere was much more casual. Gao Cheng had been playing the piano most of the time except for listening to the little boy at the beginning. It was eating and drinking, but the garden was very happy to hear it, and at the end, he said that he wanted to practice the piano.

　　 Gao Cheng lightly sighed.

　　Jiaoyuanzi is actually good at playing the piano, but the thought of dealing with Tomoko Suzuki makes his head worse.

　　 "I think I will find a chance to teach you later..."

　　……

　　I saw Onoda's mother again. A few days after the banquet, she suddenly ran to the Jido Detective Agency haggardly, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

　　 "Please, Detective Joto!" Mrs. Onoda's eyes were red and swollen, and she begged when she saw Gao Cheng, "Please help me..."

　　 Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai looked at each other and asked, "Calm down, madam, what happened?"

"Mui is gone," the woman choked. "From the 20th, I can't find it anywhere. At first I thought it was just going out for fun, but it's been several days, and the game is about to start... "

"Missing?"

　　 Gao Cheng has the figure of the piano prodigy on the day of the banquet.

　　 "That means something went wrong on the second day of the banquet... Has it been reported to the police?"

　　 "It was reported, but the police couldn't find a clue. If Keita can't be found again..."

　　 "Can you tell me the details?"

　　 Gao Cheng looked serious.

　　 If a child runs away from home just because he is forced too tightly, it usually won’t last long. Since even the police can’t find a clue, the possibility of being kidnapped is very high.

　　 But in this case, the kidnapper should contact his family, no matter if it is for a ransom or whatever...

　　 Need to investigate carefully again to see if there are clues that have not been noticed.

　　 On the weekend, Dr. A Li was going to take a group of children to dig bamboo shoots in the mountains. Only Xiao Ai stayed because he wanted to work with Gao Cheng.

　　 "Actually, I'm enough alone, don't you all go digging bamboo shoots together..."

　　 "I know that someone has been kidnapped," Xiao Ai glanced at Gao Cheng, "How can I still be in the mood to play? Of course you must help find the kid at this time."

　　 "Don’t they think it’s weird? You didn’t say it again..."

　　 "Don't worry, I have to take care of you after I said, they all understand."

　　 "What the **** is this..."

　　 Gao Cheng collapsed his eyelids, and after taking Xiao Ai into a rented car, he checked the time of his watch and said, "It's getting late, let's go over quickly, and hope that nothing will happen to the kid."

　　 Although Xiao Ai was worried, she did not expect too much: "Counting that it has been missing for almost 4 days today, and there has been no contact with the prisoner, the chance of surviving in this case is almost zero..."

　　 "There is still hope, if my judgment is correct." Gao Cheng drove intently.

　　 He has fully investigated, and finally locked the suspicion on another genius child who will also participate in the piano competition.

From all the signs, it seems that there is something to do with the little girl. Through screening, the divorced father of the little girl is very suspicious. After the Shih music banquet, he has not participated in any activities in the past few days and seems to have been waiting. Villa in the mountains.

　　 The car drove along the highway into the mountains, and suddenly it rained heavily. Fortunately, the road was built in the mountains so that it would not cause any trouble, but the gloomy sky and good people didn't have a good mood.

　　 Gaocheng’s destination is in this mountainous villa area. From the map, you can pass directly along the road. Fortunately, it is not the kind of rich man who likes to find a place to build a large villa, otherwise it is really choking.

　　 After a while, the villa area appeared in the field of vision. At this time, a piano sound suddenly came from the rain, and the clear tone was not submerged by the rain.

　　 "This is..." Gao Cheng was slightly startled, and followed the rows of villas in the rain.

　　 Xiao Ai was also attracted by the piano sound, and subconsciously said: "The melody on the G line...is the third orchestral suite composed by John Sebastian Bach..."

"I know."

　　 Gao Cheng twitched his cheeks.

　　 Don’t need to teach him science especially at this time...

　　 "It seems that we have arrived," Xiao Ai said calmly, looking at the villa area, "I can play the piano in this kind of place, and the player is probably a professional pianist. The girl's father does live here."

　　 "It's hard to tell now."

　　 The car stopped in front of the villa where the piano sounded. According to the address, it was indeed the father’s villa. Gao Cheng opened the door and accidentally saw some children’s backpacks at the door of the villa.

　　 "Wait," Gao Cheng brows frowning, then asks Xiaowei, "Doctor, is it this mountain where they dig bamboo shoots?"

"possible."

　　 "It should not be so coincidental......"

　　 "I think that's it," Xiao Ai said, checking the backpack, "the bamboo shoots and their things are here, and the mobile phone is also..."

　　 "Really."

　　 Gao Cheng opened the hidden door and walked slowly into the hallway.

　　 It was dark in the room. It seemed that the power was out. Only the piano sound was still playing. The room where he played was in the room on the right side of the aisle. Gao Cheng followed the sound to the door of the piano room and looked inside.

　　 "Strange," In the villa, Ayumi hid behind Conan nervously and looked towards the dark corridor, "Is anyone coming in ahead?"

　　 "How is it possible?" Conan said silently, "The prisoner should still be playing the piano in that room, and the doctor can't come here so quickly..."

　　 "But maybe there is more than one prisoner."

　　 "Mostly a person, the diary is in the first person, and there are no traces of accomplices in the text, and there is only one red wine glass..."

　　 Conan held a notepad fairly surely, and said something, but suddenly stopped when he heard the piano sound, and then it sounded again after a while.

　　 "Huh? It seems a little different this time..."

　　 "How, how?" Yuanta said in fear, "Are the prisoners coming to arrest us?"

"Idiot, it's okay to catch us just now," Conan frowned and thought, "and he shouldn't want us to see his looks, in case someone runs away and tells the police, so he played the piano in the dark to scare us away... …"

　　 "But as long as you investigate the owner of this villa, you can also know who the prisoner is?" Mitsuhiko wondered.

　　 "Maybe it's not the owner of this villa," Conan judged. "It's also possible that the villa was pried open and sneaked in. After all, it's the off-season for vacations, and the surrounding villas are empty, no one, right?"

　　 Ayumi still looked at the dark corridor in front of him in fear, and when the piano stopped, Conan was trembling and said: "No, no, it seems that someone is coming..."

"Da da."

　　 The sound of footsteps sounded clearly on the wooden floor in the dark, and Conan also changed his face and his eyes trembled.

　　 3 kinds of footsteps, 3 people come over.

　　 Damn, what is going on? The doctor should still be on the way here... Is it the owner of this villa?

"I said……"

　　 A flashlight light shone on Conan's faces, and Gao Cheng's scolding voice sounded: "What the **** are you doing? What about Dr. Ari?"

"what?"

　　 Conan blinked innocently, his eyes swept over Xiao Ai and a little boy beside Gao Cheng.

　　 "You, why are you here? This kid is..."

　　 "I came here for this kid. I stayed here for a few days, making his mother so worried..."

　　 "Hug, sorry." Onoda Megumi lowered her head embarrassedly.

　　 "Okay," Gao Cheng shook his head, "Where is the person who caught you? Do you remember?"

"Ah? It's Qianming's father, because Qianming showed me the photos," Onoda explained, "but I was not arrested. Qianming's father helped me. Because I was about to participate in the competition, my mother kept Forcing me to practice piano, there is nothing happy about it..."

It took Conan a long time to relax. Looking at Onoda Keita who had nothing to do, the corner of his mouth twitched, "So you just walk in the hallway while eating snacks, pushing carts, playing games... everywhere. Is it messy?"

　　 "Because my mother usually doesn't allow me to do this, but no one here will scold me." Onoda Megumi said very happily.

　　 "It turned out to be like this," Conan wondered to Flashlight, "Then what's going on in this diary? It says "I have to kill him" and "Boy, I'm sorry, forgive me"..."

　　 "Diary?"

　　 Gao Cheng took the notepad and found out that it started writing on March 20, when Onoda Keita was taken away.

"On March 20th, Sunny, I tried to talk. He is really a kid. He laughs a lot and keeps playing by himself... I don’t know if he understands where he is now. This child’s life is also quite depressing. Well...In short, there are two days left, so bear with me..."

　　 "March 22, Yin, Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven... One day, let's pass safely..."

　　 "March 23, rain, awful, this kid seems to know who I am. If he tells this matter, it will become a hindrance to the future. Although it is very pitiful, he can only kill him..."

　　 "March 24, rain, kid, sorry, forgive me..."

　　 is the date on the left and the diary on the right. Finally, the diary on March 24 is stained with red wine on both sides...

　　 The problem is that the diary on March 21 is missing.

　　 And the problem is not just that. After the diary is closed, the side edges of two pages are exposed.

　　 In addition, the diary on March 24th seems to have been wetted by red wine stains twice, the second time it is still very new...

　　 Gao Cheng flipped through the diary again.

The book did not use any glue, but folded a stack of paper in half, stapled it with staples in the middle, and then trimmed the inner pages along the edges~www.NovelMTL.com~The reason why there are two protruding pages, It was because someone had disassembled the staples and changed the position of the paper inside. The staples in the middle also showed signs of being pressed back.

　　 Gao Cheng looked back at Onoda Keta.

"This diary has been manipulated, and it’s not long ago. I think it’s a kid’s prank. There is a blank page on the back of the diary with pen marks, that is to say, the one with something written on the previous page. The paper was taken away, so there should have been a diary on March 21, but the piece of paper that was taken was actually replaced, so the edges are not aligned...

　　 "I think it should be changed from March 21st to March 24th, so the content of the diary on the previous page is actually March 20th..."

Gao Sung returned the notebook to Conan and said: "Yes, the diary on March 23 said'only to kill him', but it was actually March 20, because Mrs. Hui recognized it all at once.'Try to talk' is In the diary on March 21, changing the order in this way turned into an attempt to kill at first, but gradually changed his mind."

　　 The little boy drove Gao Cheng in a daze, grabbed his hair and smiled: "Because I accidentally drew a map on it while playing a game, I had to take it away..."

　　 "Really, what are you thinking about," Gao Cheng looked at the little boy who was not worried at all, and asked silently, "Is the page you extracted is still there?"

　　 "Well, it's still there," the little boy took out a pair of origami paper from the pocket of the bib and handed it to Gao Cheng, admiring him, "As everyone said, you are so amazing, big brother!"

"Ha ha……"
