Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"Conan Reborn as a Detective ()"

In the morning of the next day, the incident at the hotel did not cause much commotion. The hotel restaurant was still bustling during breakfast time, and all students of Didan High School wearing black sportswear uniforms were everywhere.

Everyone seemed to be unaware of the incident, even Xiaolan and Yuanzi were no exception. Shiliang Zhenchun was still yawning in boredom.

"Last night, there seemed to be a police car coming downstairs. Did something happen?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of anything."

Sera Masumi glanced casually at the restaurant.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but she seemed to see Gao Cheng yesterday.

If the case really happened, it must be true, Gao Cheng may also live in this hotel...

"Anyway, don't talk nonsense, if it causes panic, maybe the teacher will let us suspend the school trip and return to Tokyo." Sera Masumi reminded in a low voice.

"It's true to say so, but I don't know what happened at all."

Yuanzi and Xiaolan discussed helplessly.

"By the way, what are our plans for today?"

"Group activities in the morning, and the afternoon seems to be free time for activities. At that time, the class will act according to the itinerary set by each class."

Yuanzi smiled and pulled Xiaolan and Shiliang.

"Don't worry, I've already made plans. When the time comes, we'll play by ourselves. There's a nice Japanese restaurant in Pontocho. After lunch, we can go to Izumi Shinshin High School."

"Izumi Heart High School?" Xiaolan thought of Okita who was very similar to Kudo Shinichi or Gao Cheng, "Okita seems to be in that school."

During the last kendo competition incident, Police Officer Sato picked up Okita's amulet, which happened to be returned to Okita.

"Okita? That high school that looks a lot like Ah Cheng?" Sonoko wrinkled his face.

Ah Cheng is good at everything, but there are too many bumps in the face, so forget about Kudo, and now there is another Okita.

Wait a minute, why does Ah Cheng look like a collection of two people? A detective and a kendo...

...

The teacher of Didan High School had already learned about the murder from the hotel and the police, and after careful consideration, he temporarily concealed it from the students and took the students out early to avoid the media reporters who heard the news.

Because Nishiki who was killed was a Naoki Prize winner, there were not a few reporters who rushed to the hotel, even Ayanokōji had a headache, and the whole hotel entrance was in chaos, so if you really have to deal with it, you don't have to deal with the case.

"Those four people said they wanted to talk about Chuli, and they planned to secretly go to the restaurant where they made a reservation for lunch."

After finally avoiding the reporter, Ayanokoji found Gao Cheng again.

"It's a Japanese restaurant called 'Kuyama' in Pontocho..."

"Pontocho?"

Gao Cheng immediately thought of the code, and occasionally the word "Xian" appeared on it in reverse.

Speaking of which, it seems that there are still a few Chinese characters on the code paper that are in the names of places in Kyoto.

After a pause, Gao Cheng immediately took out his mobile phone to search.

It's not his illusion, it's just a few towns he knows.

Looking back at the cipher paper, he found some clues, even though he wasn't a cryptographer.

On the surface, the Chinese characters on the paper look crooked, but they are basically within 3 rows, and the horizontal spacing is also very special.

"Kudou," Gao Cheng simply responded after Ayanokolu passed by, and hurriedly found Kudo Shinichi who was still studying, "You should have discovered it too, right? The arrangement of these Chinese characters is not simple."

"Huh?" Kudo Shinichi was at a loss what to do, and nodded in bewilderment.

what did he find

"Add a grid to this piece of paper based on the four black squares at the beginning, and you can see it clearly," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "Do you still remember the old man who used origami as a secret sign on the day of Haneda Hideyoshi's competition? The coded paper was input and printed by the computer, and there should have been a grid in the first place.”

Kudo Shinichi's eyes brightened: "Is there such a thing? If you add the grid, the first 4 black squares are actually a black and white Jiugong grid, and the subsequent text positions correspond, basically between the 5 white squares in the top, bottom, left, and right sides. Transformation... the password is hopefully unlocked!"

"I'll leave it to you to crack the code.

I'm going out for a while. "

Gao Cheng had a clear view of his abilities, and he was good at solving puzzles. This kind of thing is suitable for Kudo Shinichi, and he also wanted to find Keiko Anzhi and others to learn more about the case.

...

In Pontocho, after Gaocheng left the hotel, he met with Ayanokōji and several parties at the agreed Japanese restaurant.

In the tatami room, everyone knelt on the floor.

"A tengu appeared in Mr. Agata's room?" Gao Cheng took a sip of his tea and looked at Ayanokōji who provided new information in surprise.

He had thought that the murderer might continue to kill, but in the end he was still playing the tengu's tricks.

"yes!"

An Zhijingzi and the others seemed to recall the horror scene again.

"When we heard Akata's shout and rushed over, a huge tengu hung from the ceiling. It was like a special shot movie. Akata threw an ashtray at him, and the tengu burned up and disappeared. It's..."

Hearing this, Gao Cheng looked at Agatian who seemed to have lingering fear on the other side.

The eye sockets are deep-set, and the fluffy hair almost covers the eyes. It looks like a relatively deep person.

Composer for a film crew.

It is said that after Nishiki was killed last night, Ahetian couldn't fall asleep when he returned to his room, so he planned to go to the bar to drink a glass of wine before falling asleep, but he passed out after drinking too much, and when he woke up, he had already returned to the room, ready to smoke a cigarette At the time, I found the tengu on the top of my head...

It's very strange, this Agata has a bulge on his forehead like the murdered Nishiki, but he is so lucky, other than that, there is nothing wrong with him, and he just uttered a cry to attract people from the next few rooms. It even used an ashtray to make the tengu burn and disappear.

Rather than being attacked, it is better to say that he is directing and acting on his own.

But without evidence, he couldn't say that the soundtrack engineer was the murderer, he could only say it was suspicious.

"By the way, Detective Kido," Ayanokōji pulled Gao Cheng and continued, "About yesterday's on-site investigation, most of the blood on the ceiling was paint, and only the middle part was blood that was sprayed on temporarily. Any murder weapon found."

"Where's the note paper mixed with the manuscript on the ground?" Gao Cheng continued to ask.

"It's electrostatic note paper, which is easy to absorb on the manuscript. I heard it's Ximu's habit... But after inspection, there is indeed some paint on the note paper."

"That's right."

Be determined with high intentions.

Yesterday he asked Ling Xiaolu to investigate the manuscripts scattered on the ground at the scene.

No detail at the murder scene should be ignored, the more inconspicuous it is, the more likely it is related to the truth, so he was very curious about the murderer's purpose of scattering the manuscripts all over the place.

That one doesn't look like it was accidentally dropped.

If the ceiling cannot be arranged within 10 minutes, it means that those traces have existed beforehand, but they have been hidden by some means.

What he wanted to find was the murderer's hiding method.
