Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"Wow!"

It is still raining in Tokyo at night, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

Unlike Gao Cheng, although Kogoro Mori also wore formal attire, he took Xiao Lan and Conan to the wedding eve party that hurt friends in high school, which is commonly known as a bachelor party. The actual attendees were mostly uncle’s high school classmates. The only thing Xiaolan regrets is that Fei Yingli doesn't have time to participate because of work.

"But then again," the uncle still complained about not being able to take a cameo with Yoko Okino the other day. He took a sip of wine and looked out at the rainy night. "That guy from Joto seems to have gone out today, right?"

"Yes," Xiaolan and Conan drank juice together, and said after hearing the words, "Listening to Yuanzi said, it seems that Senior Cioto is going to give a speech at the Metropolitan Police Department today.

"Oh? Speech?"

The uncle moved his eyebrows.

"This kid is getting better and worse, but it's really strange, why don't you invite me, the sleeping Kogoro, as a consultant?"

Conan was eating a meal next to him, squeezing his eyes to look at the uncle.

Why not ask you to be a consultant, don't you know it yourself?

Except when sleeping, most of the time, it is not very reassuring, and Officer Mumu must have a deep understanding.

Gao Cheng has returned home from the Metropolitan Police Department at the Kioto Detective Office, without mentioning what happened.

Xiao Ai hummed a little song in the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack, and asked Gao Cheng, who was watching TV outside, "Then what? Why did you come back so late?"

"Anyway, something went wrong," Gao Cheng yawned and said sleepily. "And I just met a few old friends, so I just talked for a while."

Sure enough, being too idle is not a good thing. If this continues, his detective brain will probably protest. No matter what the commission is, let's start tomorrow.

As long as it's not looking for cats and dogs...

"City!" Chiba rushed to the office floor under an umbrella, and ran upstairs anxiously to find Gao Chengdao, "Please, hurry up and find someone for me! Otherwise, it will be dangerous!"

"Ok?"

Gao Cheng lowered his eyelids with the remote control for channel changing.

He is talking about starting tomorrow...

"That's how it is," Chiba sat on the sofa and explained to Gao Cheng. "A coffee shop I go to often meets a girl recently. Just today, she asked me to discuss something and talk about feelings. I am very dangerous. I have received a lot of threatening letters from prisoners serving sentences in a year. Now that prisoner seems to be out of prison..."

"Does that prisoner have any grudges against her?"

"It's not clear, but she changed jobs and even moved house in fear, but it seemed that someone was following recently, so I told her that if she sees the other person, or if something specific happens, she must immediately Contact me..."

Chiba worried: "Unexpectedly, in the short time I went to the bathroom, she suddenly checked out and went back by herself. I heard that she was very scared and took the wrong umbrella...

"When I chased me out, a man with a hat and sunglasses seemed to think of me as that lady. He drove from behind and almost hit me... I was too careless at that time. I didn’t ask her address and wanted to discuss the matter with the police department, but there was no definite evidence, so I had to come to you..."

"That means you don't even know the identity of the other party?" Gao Cheng asked with his chin.

Doesn't this guy faint just because the other person is a pretty woman?

Too simple, the world is very complicated...

"Yes, that's right." Chiba lowered his head sadly.

"It doesn't need to be like this, we can just find it for you," Gao Cheng said in a deep voice, "Since you often meet this lady at the coffee shop, she should live nearby. Yes, go to the nearby convenience store to find someone. Ask what clues there might be."

"Huh?" Xiao Ai poked her head out of the kitchen with a spoon, "Should I go with me too?"

...

"Woo-!"

Even if you know the approximate range, finding someone is always a hassle. After Gao Cheng asked in the rain screen, he left the convenience store holding an umbrella, and suddenly a loud sirens sounded, as if something had happened not far away. .

"Did something happen? Yes, yes...I know!" After Chiba made a phone call, he hurried to Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai said, "Someone called the police, saying that a young woman was caught in a nearby apartment. In a murder case, shouldn't it..."

"Let's take a look first."

Gao Cheng frowned and looked in the direction of the incident.

The police siren at this time is really not a good sign. Chiba's face changed even when he heard the strange flustered. When he hurried outside the blockade, he saw a red car parked in the open space below the apartment.

"City, city...It was the car that hit me, is it still a step too late?"

Chiba directly crossed the blockade and entered the apartment where the incident occurred. The scene was on the second floor. The police officer in charge was Sato.

"Chiba," Sato said surprised, "are you still on vacation today?"

"That's right, but..."

After Gao Chengzai greeted the investigating police officers outside, he put down his wet umbrella against the wall and entered the apartment on the second floor with a little sorrow. The scene seemed to have been collected. The living room was lying with a man’s body and a man sitting beside the bed. A silent beautiful woman.

"This case happened 40 minutes ago," Sato explained. "It happened to be the time when Takagi and the others received the police for another case. At around 9:30, Takuya Murakami, a re-examination candidate living in the room directly below, suddenly heard a loud noise. And the screams, I came up to check the situation, and found the body, and Miss Toda Mio standing beside me..."

"Are there cases in other places?" Gao Cheng asked.

"Yeah, Mr. Mori seems to be there too," Sato looked at Mio Toda who was sitting on the bed and bowed his head and continued. "But then again, have you been looking for Miss Toda all this time?"

"Because I'm really worried," Chiba nodded. "The victim seemed to treat me as Miss Toda and ran into me deliberately!"

"The victim is Mr. Yoshizumi Xindao, 28 years old, and he was released from the traffic prison three days ago. This is indeed in line with Chiba's statement," Sato thought. "There are indeed signs of prying open the door of the apartment. There is a car in the open space downstairs. It was confirmed just now that it belongs to the stolen stolen car...

"According to Miss Toda, when she went home today, the victim had already opened the lock and waited for her in the house. She was pulled in when she opened the door because the other party was holding a knife and could only use her hands. The umbrella resisted, and the two came to the living room during the scuffle. When they recovered, Xin Dao had been smashed to death by the falling vase."

"So, is it just for defense?"

Gao Cheng glanced across the room.

Because it is a typical single apartment, there is an open kitchen and bathroom on both sides of the entrance hall, and inside is an open room with a bedroom and a living room.

The umbrella of Chiba who was taken by mistake was bent badly, and the scene looked like Mio Toda said.

As for the victim, Xin Dao, the fatal injury was on the back of his head. The vase fell on the carpet next to him. There were blood stains on the hard part at the bottom. There was also damage to the bridge of the nose. There was blood flowing from his nose. It seemed that he had hit the TV cabinet. Leave blood stains.

wrong……

Gao Cheng's eyes returned to the corpse.

The corpse’s clothes were all dry, including the trousers, and there was no trace of wetness, which means that this person should have been in this room before it rained, but Chiba went down when they met Mio Toda at the coffee shop. It started to rain heavily.

This Toda Mio's statement is completely wrong.

"It doesn't matter, Miss Mio," Chiba was still comforting Mio Toda by the bed. "It's not your fault. I will try to help you."

Mio Toda raised her head with a sad face, and said a little relieved: "Thank you, Officer Chiba."

"I want to ask," Gao Cheng turned to Sato, "Is there any hatred between the victim and Miss Mio?"

“If you say yes, there are,” Sato explained. “A year ago, someone drunk and drove out of control and crashed out of the barrier, causing the whole car to fall into the lake and be thrown out of the two people outside the car. One person died and one person was slightly injured. The driver was charged with the crime of driving the car with negligence causing death. However, because the driver was killed, there was no prosecution. The passenger who suffered minor injuries was sentenced for violating road traffic laws because he did not stop drunk driving. One year in prison..."

"That is, Mr. Xin Dao who was imprisoned a year ago."

"It's not true!" Mio Toda reacted fiercely. "My brother had an accident because of drunk driving before. After that, my brother never held the steering wheel anymore. The driver at that time must be Xindao!"

"brother?"

"Yes, it was my brother who was killed. At that time, I didn't believe Xin Dao's testimony, so I filed an objection to the court..."

"That's true," Sato confirmed. "Although the court rejected the complaint, Yoshizumi Xindao was sentenced to one year in jail. At that time, it seemed that Ms. Toda Mio who complained was very angry."

Chiba was angry and said, "It would be too much to resent Miss Mio because of this! There is no reason at all. Even if there is no complaint from Miss Mio, he will still have to serve his sentence! Miss Mio, give those letters to everyone. Let's see!"

Hello...

Gao Cheng speechlessly looked towards Chiba, who seemed to trust Mio Toda completely.

Although it is true that she is a big beauty, there is also a saying that the more beautiful a woman is, the more deceitful she is. From the beginning, she often appeared in that coffee shop just to make a routine of Chiba, right?

Before the truth is revealed, it is the basic ability of the police to remain suspicious.

Forget it, I can't ask too much for this guy like Chiba, the last incident was used by my roommate...

Gao Cheng followed and checked the letter that Mio Toda had taken out.

They were all sent when they were serving their sentences, and the content was poor, but they were all "when I was released from prison, I would definitely come to say hello."

"Although the meaning is a bit vague, it is obviously a threat, right?" Chiba asked Gao Cheng, looking closely.

"It looks like that's right," Gao Cheng asked, holding two envelopes. "These letters seem to have been interrupted for half a year, and there are words like'I want to tell you the truth'..."

"This doesn't mean anything? It may be that the anger slowly calmed down at first, and it came to mind when I was about to be released from prison."

"maybe."

Gao Cheng turned and walked out of the hallway, looking at the Shiratori who was checking downstairs by the car in the open space.

Although it is too early to judge, the traces here all show that Mio Toda, who Chiba desperately wants to maintain, designed this legitimate defense drama.

"That may not be good, but," Xiao Ai leaned against the door wall and asked Gao Cheng softly, "Is it really necessary to continue the investigation? Anyway, that woman is also a victim..."

"Of course it is necessary," Gao Cheng quietly retracted his gaze, and said in a deep voice, "The point of finding out the truth is not just to punish the prisoner, there are enough truths buried in this world."

In the re-exam room on the first floor, the students who were still preparing for the exam saw Gao Cheng helplessly said: "I have already told the police just now, I really have heard the sound of the TV, it was before it rained, it's really annoying. , I thought it was finally closed, but I heard screams... At first glance, it looks like a very beautiful apartment. In fact, the rent is very low and all sounds can be heard clearly..."

"In other words," Gao Cheng confirmed, "Did you hear the scuffle?"

"Fighting?"

"Yes, Miss Toda upstairs and the other party have been fighting from the hallway to the TV in the living room..."

"That's weird." The re-examiner scratched his hair. "I remember hearing two loud beeps immediately after the TV was turned off, and then I heard the sound of shouting."

"Two heavy beeps? Thank you." Gao Cheng fell into thinking.

It seems that the victim had been here very early, and probably stayed until Mio Toda went home, and was killed while turning off the TV.

"That," the re-examiner said embarrassedly, "can I ask you for an autograph?"

"Ah, no problem." Gao Cheng smiled in return.

"Thank you so much, this exam should be no problem!"

"Ok?"

Gao Cheng separated from the re-examiner, holding an umbrella to find Shiratori who was guarding the car in the open space.

"Sergeant Shiratori, have you found any problems?"

"It's the city owner," Shiratori said with a headache. "I'm still contacting the owner of this car. It should be the car that almost ran into Chiba. It's true that the disguise hat and sunglasses were also in the victim's bag. Found."

"But is it really the victim himself?"

Gao Cheng leaned over the car window to check and said: "From Xin Dao's body shape, the driver's seat is adjusted too far forward. It looks like a woman's body."

"Really?" Shiratori checked again in surprise, "That's really a bit..."

"Sergeant Shiratori," Gao Cheng begged, "Can I trouble you something? Xindao has been sending letters to Miss Toda while serving his sentence, but it was interrupted for almost half a year, and his tone seemed to be different. The same ~www.NovelMTL.com~ I want to figure out the real reason for the interruption of the letter."

"No, no problem..."

Shiratori agreed subconsciously, and when he reacted, Gao Cheng had already returned to the apartment building.

This kind of thing seemed to be Takagi's job before, but is it finally his turn now?

After a brief moment of depression, Shiratori smiled confidently.

This also shows the trust of city households in him, right?

At last it won’t be out of existence, it feels really good...

The rain was still sizzling, and there was a lot of rain in the gutters. When Gao Cheng returned to the second floor, Sato was planning to take Toda Mio back to the police station.

"Kato, is Shirator still down there?"

"Yes, I ask Officer Shiratori to find something." Gao Cheng looked at Mio Toda who was going out accompanied by Chiba. "Because this case is probably not a legitimate defense, but a planned murder. "
