Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 1080: The Detective

"Are you Luo Ye's classmate?"

The blond uncle, the owner of the Weathervane Pavilion sitting next to him, looked at Gao Cheng in a friendly manner.

"Let's have some juice, it's not good for minors to drink red wine."

"Uh, thanks."

Gao Cheng watched as the blond uncle took away the red wine glass and poured juice on it.

"you are……"

"My surname is Fengji, and I'm the owner of the Weather Vane Pavilion, and I can also be said to be the representative of this village," the blond uncle said with a smile, "You seem to be confused about the wedding?"

"Yes," Gao Cheng asked upon seeing this, "why does the bride have to spend the night in church?"

"This is the village's custom since the establishment of the church," the blond uncle explained. "On the eve of the wedding, the bride should put on a wedding dress and confess the sins she committed before with a spotless appearance.

The women accompanying the bride will stand alone at the door of the church on duty all night, while the bride enters the church alone, lying on the bed placed in front of the altar, bathing in the moonlight from the skylight, and praying with her eyes closed all night. "

"What a strange custom." Gao Cheng muttered, and glanced at the absent-minded Odagiri from the corner of his eye.

Not to mention the horror of the church at night, is it really okay to keep the two girls outside like this? It is simply to create opportunities for murderers.

Was Luo Ye killed tonight?

Judging from Odagiri's behavior, it is true that he committed the crime just to wait for Wakaba's wedding day.

"Bang!" The old woman in the ivy house suddenly slapped the table and stood up, with a terrified expression, screaming as if possessed by a ghost, Gao Cheng was startled by her ugly and dry face.

"It's, it's on fire—!"

"Mrs. Kusanagi?"

"The church is on fire!"

The old woman seemed to have seen something terrible, she covered her face and cried frantically for a while, then smiled and grabbed the plate of food with zombie-like hands and poured it into her pocket.

"Oh, it's time for Miaomiao to eat, Miaomiao eats too much..."

The faces of the people present were all different, and they seemed to be a little surprised,

Soon, the servants of Tian's family took the old woman away.

"Mrs. Kusanagi is the owner of the ivy pavilion," the blond uncle said with emotion, "her favorite son died 5 years ago, and it has become like this since then."

"Oh."

Gao Cheng silently drank the juice.

For him, this kind of scene is just a look. Since he became a detective, he has seen many people on various occasions. Although the current village is weird, he has seen a lot of things.

First of all, these people seem to be close to each other but are actually afraid of each other. The dusty mummy case has obviously affected these people all the time. Everyone has something on their minds, and all weird behaviors can be linked to the secrets of the village.

The only one who is quite normal is probably this blond man. He doesn’t seem to feel as much guilt as the others, but he also hides secrets. Judging from the urge to tell outsiders on the smiling face, it’s more about guarding against the others. host.

If it was this uncle, he might be able to find out the truth about the mummy case.

The time is too short, so much can be seen for the time being. Maybe we can investigate the village after the police come.

"That's the church."

After the wedding banquet, the blond uncle took Gao Cheng and Odagiri to the balcony to watch the church in the distance, and could vaguely see traces of being burned.

"It was built by missionaries who came here about a hundred years ago. It is said that seven missionaries came to seek the apple of Eden, which is the forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve ate in the Old Testament. Men know what it means to be that which they seek..."

The blond uncle faced the church under the moonlight, with a look of pain hidden in his eyes.

"That church suffered a fire 27 years ago. The pastor, his wife and seven children were killed on the spot, but the church itself has been well preserved..."

"Seven children?"

"Yeah, they are all girls adopted by the pastor and his wife. They were just high school students 27 years ago, but..."

The blond uncle hurriedly stopped talking, and Gao Cheng took a deep look.

In his impression, the method of dismembering the corpse was to gather seven corpses out of six corpses.

According to this approach, one of the seven children may still be alive, and Odagiri may be the son of the survivor...

"Clang clang clang!"

In the night, there was a sudden rush of bells ringing in the direction of the church, as if calling for something.

"Church bells? Is this also a ceremony?"

"No," the blond uncle said with an ugly face, "The bell only rings at funerals, what's going on?"

"Hey, did you hear that? It's the church bell!"

Everyone downstairs ran outside one after another, and rushed to the church under the leadership of Uncle Shitian, as if something big happened.

"Already started?"

Gao Cheng followed to prepare to go to the church, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Odagiri who seemed to be in a daze.

He has been paying attention to Odagiri since he came to the village, and he is sure that this guy has not left Shi Shitian's house, and he has been together all the time just now.

Odagiri could not have had the chance to commit the crime.

From the clock building to the church in the center, you have to go through forests, and you have to detour the wind vane building and cross the regular hexagonal river, but the distance is not very far. In just a short time, not only Tokita and others Even the surrounding villagers gathered in front of the church.

"Ruo Ye! Open the door, Luo Ye!"

Uncle Shitian kept yelling at his daughter, but the main door of the church was locked from the inside and couldn't be opened no matter what, and there was no response from inside.

Gao Cheng concealed his body and followed Odagiri, and found that Odagiri had sneaked away from the crowd in the chaos, sneaking into the nearby woods.

Proficient in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, Gao Cheng easily followed Odagiri, hid behind a tree, and soon saw Tokita Wakaba in a black dress guarding the side of the car. face happiness.

It's the Raven Woman's gown...

Gao Cheng looked stunned.

He thought that Tokita Wakaba was just a victim, but he didn't expect that at this point, he actually helped Odagiri to commit murder and became a part of Odagiri's criminal methods.

The Crow Girl may have been killed in the church to replace Shi Tian Ruoye.

Now kill Tokita Wakaba and find an opportunity to replace the body, Odagiri's alibi is fully established, and he can let go of the next crime.

Because after the wedding banquet started, no one left the Clock House, and Odagiri had his "Kuroba Kaito" to help testify from the beginning to the end.

In the woods, when Tian Ruoye turned around to get into the car, Odagiri had already strangled her neck from behind, and she didn't struggle to resist very strangely.

"stop!"

Gao Cheng finally stood up, no matter what role Tokita Wakaba played in this incident, he came to Liujiao Village to stop Odagiri, and he could not watch Tokita Wakaba get killed.

"Odagiri-sensei, it's over!"

"Black, Black Feather?"

Odagiri let go of his hand in response, ignoring Shi Tianruoye who fell to the ground and coughed continuously, and turned to Gaocheng in horror with tears still on his face, completely unexpected that someone would come.

"How do you..."

"It seems inappropriate to continue calling you Odagiri-sensei, can you tell me your real name?"

Gao Cheng removed the student disguise and faced Odagiri normally.

"I'm Kido Takasei, the private detective who came here for you."

Odagiri's complexion was wonderful, like a big dye vat, he looked straight at him like seeing a ghost, and instantly changed to a person-like high success.

He is completely different from the Kuroba Kaito in his impression, or he is not a high school student at all.

"Takasei Kido? That famous detective!"

Not only Odagiri, Shi Tian Ruoye also looked at Gao Cheng with slightly dilated pupils when he regained his strength.

Gao Cheng is already known to almost everyone in Tokyo, and because of his confrontation with Kaito Kuroba, it is even more a topic in Ekoda High School.

Is a legendary figure.
