Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 197: Chenghuzi

Gao Cheng didn't see Yuanzi appear until the meal was over.

Even going to the bathroom doesn't take that long, but Xiaolan doesn't seem worried...

"What's going on?" Gao Cheng stared at the Daoist Association who was joking with Xiaolan.

"How is it?" Daoxie took a sip of the after-dinner black tea and asked Xiaolan, "Is there nothing to say about the food here?"

"Yeah, it's delicious," Xiaolan said with a smile, "thank you for the treat, I feel a little sorry for Yuanzi."

"Crack." The inner private room opened, and the dull hotel owner walked into the lobby, his eyes paused on Gao Cheng, and he glanced at Xiaolan and the others intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiaolan noticed the tall boy and asked strangely, "Huh? Are you here to help too?"

"No, I'm here for the first time today..." The young owner of the hotel sat in front of the bar, still looking left and right, "By the way, where did that brown-haired girl go? Why didn't I see her? "

Xiaolan smiled and said, "You said Yuanzi, she didn't sleep well last night, and now she is making up for it in the car outside."

"Catch up on sleep?"

Gao Cheng raised his ears and looked out of the restaurant. He could see a sloping winding road on the other side of the cliff, right next to where he parked his motorcycle.

"Ah, that's..."

"Is that Daoxie brother's car?" Conan exclaimed and stood up, watching the car slide.

"Why is the car moving?"

"It's bad! There's a cliff ahead!"

On the sloping cliff road, a car slid slowly along the road. There was nothing in front of it, only the cliff at the end of the corner was surrounded by guardrails.

Gao Cheng snapped up the bamboo sword on the table, and ran out of the hall following Conan and the others.

"Thank you for your patronage, welcome to come again next time..."

At the entrance of the restaurant, the waiter habitually bowed to Xiaolan and Conan who ran out first, and then hurriedly stopped Gao Cheng who was behind: "Wait a minute, you still have to pay!"

Gao Cheng was in a hurry, and pushed the waiter away: "Please put it on the account of the next two!"

"what?"

Dao Xiehe and the hotel owner who came running after him were stopped in the restaurant in a daze, and he shouted inexplicably, "Hey, miss, who are you?"

"How can there be such a person?"

"Yuanzi! Wake up, Yuanzi!" The speed of the car outside the restaurant was getting faster and faster. Conan and Xiaolan, who were one step ahead, hurried to catch up with the car and kept tapping on the windows.

"Damn it!" Gao Cheng grabbed the bamboo sword and rushed to the window, Yuanzi was still asleep inside, no matter how much Xiaolan shouted, he couldn't wake up.

He has never thought about this situation now, if it is a gangster, he can solve it with a sword...

"Get out of the way!" Xiaolan suddenly shouted from the other side.

"Ah?" Gao Cheng was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Xiao Lan jumping high while holding onto the roof railing, standing upside down, bending her knees while her hair was flying, spinning with all her strength and falling heavily, smashing the car window glass.

"Aha--!"

"boom!"

The window glass burst, instantly waking up Sonoko who was still a little unclear about the situation in the car.

"Xiaolan?" Yuanzi sat up in a daze.

"Catch me!" Xiaolan anxiously opened the car door, and jumped out of the car with Yuanzi in her arms before the car crashed out of the cliff.

"Boom!" The car, which was completely uncontrollable, smashed through the guardrail, fell high on the rocks below and exploded.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Gao Cheng glanced at the thick explosion smoke rising from the cliff, and turned his head to look at Xiao Lan who was safe and sound.

Just now he was thinking about whether he could use a bamboo sword to block the wheels of the car, but Xiaolan broke the window violently.

...

At the scene of the car crashing off the cliff, police officer Henggou led a team to investigate after receiving a report.

"Officer," the police officer reported holding a hooked iron rod, "just now I found that car by diving into the bottom of the sea, the handbrake was indeed put down, and I also found this car on the road..."

"This is a tool for unlocking," Henggou looked at the iron stick, "Are there any other suspicious things?"

"No, I just found a puddle of water leaking from the air conditioner on the ground where the car was parked.

"

"It seems that when Ms. Yuanzi was sleeping in the car, someone unlocked the car, put down the brake and let the car fall down the cliff along the slope..."

Henggou touched his chin in a deep voice, and asked Yuanzi again: "Miss Yuanzi, did you find any suspicious people near the car?"

"Ah? No, I slept soundly..." Sonoko looked around and asked strangely, "Officer Henggou, isn't Kido with you?"

"You said Detective Chenghu, he seems to have something to do."

"No..." Gao Cheng looked at the crowd and squatted where the car was originally parked to check the situation.

If someone wants to attack Yuanzi, why bother? Obviously, he could kill the killer quietly, but he made such a big noise.

To create an alibi?

Thinking about it this way, it's strange that the murderer would leave the tools used to unlock the lock at the scene, as if deliberately letting others see it. Wouldn't it be good to take it away or throw it directly into the sea?

With so many unreasonable things, I can't believe the judgment of Police Officer Henggou.

He still felt that the Dao Association was very suspicious, even though the other party had been staying in the restaurant at that time.

But how did the Daoist Association do it?

accomplice?

From the moment he met the Dao Association, he discovered that someone had been following and monitoring, but the target of the other party seemed to be the Dao Association, and he should not be an accomplice of the Dao Association.

As for the small hotel owner who always appears around, let alone whether it is Makoto Kyogoku himself, the other party also stayed in the private room of the restaurant when the incident happened, and arrived at the restaurant even earlier than Xiaolan and his party. Time to be seen, no time to commit crimes...

"If you say something suspicious," the Taoist Association suddenly said to Police Officer Henggou, "that lady over there is very suspicious."

"That lady?" Yuanzi looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously and blinked, "Who is she?"

Although she looks like a girl, she has a cold face, her hair is tied up, she looks very boyish, even familiar...

Xiao Lan shook her head: "I don't know, when we chased her out, she was also with her...it should be just a guest who came to eat."

"Oh," Henggou questioned the little hotel owner, and responded, "I asked her just now, and it seems that she is also a tourist who came to Izu... Anyway, I will talk about the details in the department, everyone, get in the car first..."

"Ah?" Yuanzi looked at the police car and said anxiously, "Do you want to take a car? But, I really don't want to take a car right now... I'm a little scared..."

The Daoist Association suggested: "In this case, Yuanzi, you can go to the police station with me, anyway, the distance is not far, and you can change your mood by looking at the scenery."

"Isn't that bad?" Henggou said worriedly, "What if we are targeted again? Miss Yuanzi's hair is brown again. The gangster this time is very likely to be the same person as the murderer in the previous murder."

"Officer," Daoxie said with a smile, "you don't have to worry too much, I think no matter how bold he is, he can't do it in broad daylight, right?"

Yuanzi next to him held Xiaolan tightly: "If there is an emergency, Xiaolan will still be there."

"But……"

"I'll go with them too, officer." Gao Cheng walked aside with a cold expression.
