Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

? Central District, Kyobashi Central Hospital.

When Gao Cheng brought Kaori Nakahara over by car, Yashima Fuyuki had already finished his treatment, and the attending physician shook his head and announced the worst news.

Yashima Fuyuki not only did not wake up, but stopped breathing forever, with no vital signs...

After the doctor left, Kaori Nakahara stood quietly by the hospital bed, looking at the cold body of her boyfriend.

Gao Cheng glanced at Kaori Nakahara, avoiding the passing nurses, and found a corner outside the ward to talk.

"So, I don't need your help at all."

"But I heard from the Mumu police department that he will be sent for inspection tonight, right? The suspect has passed away, so there is no way..."

In Didan Elementary School, Conan avoids the children, holding the earring phone on the stairs: "If it's just an investigation, wouldn't it be better for me to help?"

"Idiot, if you come here, those guys will definitely not be safe... If I ask a group of children to help, what will so many police officers think?" Gao Cheng looked in the direction of the ward, "Stop talking, I It'll work out."

The ward was still deathly silent, completely different from the busy atmosphere outside, and there were no doctors or nurses paying attention to this side, as if abandoned.

It will probably be transferred to the morgue later...

"Miss Zhongyuan..." Gao Cheng closed the door of the ward, looked at Kaori Zhongyuan, and didn't know what to say.

"It was me... I killed..."

Kaori Nakahara suddenly shed tears.

"I killed Fuyuki..."

...

At the hospital billing office, Gao Cheng settled the bill and sorted out the receipts, paused, and went to the doctor's office in a deep voice.

Originally fine, Kaori Nakahara suddenly fainted in the ward, almost making him at a loss...

"Although anemia is not a big problem..." The attending physician looked at the examination report and said, "In fact, Miss Zhongyuan is already three months pregnant..."

"Can I talk to her?"

"I think it should be fine...but,

It may be a burden on her spirit..."

"I will pay attention, it will be fine in a while," Gao Cheng said solemnly, "There may be a press conference tonight, if we don't find new clues quickly..."

Kaga is still working hard around Nihonbashi, also to find out the truth of the incident, and he can't hold back.

Only by finding clues that Yashima is not the murderer can the case get more time to investigate.

In the rest room, after getting the doctor's consent, Gao Cheng saw the haggard Kaori Nakahara again.

"It's Fuyuki's child..." Kaori Nakahara pressed her stomach silently, "I was still having a headache when I would tell him..."

Gao Cheng was silent for a while, organized his words and asked: "I heard that he has a criminal record in the past... Can he use knives?"

Kaori Nakahara thought about it and shook her head: "I don't know...but he doesn't bring it with him now, what is at home, what does he have, I know better than he himself."

"Including personal items?" Gao Cheng continued to ask, "Can you fully grasp it?"

"Really," Kaori Nakahara said seriously, "I know him better than anyone else...I helped him find socks without holes the day before the accident..."

"But on the night of the incident, when he called you on the phone, he was carrying the victim's belongings and a briefcase... At that time, he hid among the green plants on the side of the road and said on the phone, 'I'll go home right away, I'm so busy. Sorry for the late'..."

Gao Cheng stared directly at Kaori Nakahara.

"Miss Zhongyuan, even so, can you say you know him better than anyone else?!"

"He told me!"

Kaori Nakahara interrupted Gao Cheng, with tears in his eyes, avoiding his sight, clutching his fingers tightly, and said with difficulty: "What should I do... I did something I shouldn't do..."

Gao Cheng's eyes darkened: "Is this his last call?"

"That day he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to wear socks without holes..."

Zhong Yuan buried his head in his sobs, and couldn't hold back his emotions anymore and cried out loud.

"I forced him to death. I blamed him for the money, that's why he did that kind of thing..."

Kaori Nakahara broke down in tears, holding her face helplessly: "It's all my fault, I was the one who killed him, I was the one who killed Fuyuki..."

"What is the wrong thing to do, what is the truth of the matter..." Gao Cheng stood up, "It's not necessarily that Mr. Yashima killed someone, right? You don't want Mr. Yashima to die as a murderer, do you?" ?”

Handing Kaori Nakahara to the care of the nurse, Gao Cheng leaned slightly and said, "Don't worry, no matter what the truth is, I will definitely give you an explanation and bet on the future of being a famous detective."

...

Nihombashi Police Station Conference Room.

"Are you pregnant?"

"Today's young people are poor, and this aspect is not ambiguous at all..."

The police officers in charge of the investigation were all called together to report to work, Gaocheng and Kaga were no exception, but he did not mention Yashima's last call.

That kind of statement can only make the press conference come earlier...

After the other policemen finished reporting, Gao Cheng stood up and continued: "As for the person who entered the coffee shop with the victim, I think further investigation is needed to determine whether it is Yashima himself."

All the police officers present turned their gazes to Gao Cheng.

Most of them are from the police station in the jurisdiction, but they have only heard of Gao Cheng's name. After seeing the real person so young, they always feel unreliable. Jinshi Metal is also investigating with the police from the first search section.

"The day before the Yashima incident, I searched for socks without holes," Gao Cheng said calmly, "It should be to prepare for the next day's interview. There are not many places where you need to take off your shoes during the interview. I believe you can find Yashima. The company that interviewed on the day of the incident..."

The policemen at the scene started talking, and even though the senior officials were reluctant to drag on, they couldn't help but nod their heads.

"Indeed, it would be better if we knew why Yashima went near Nihombashi."

"Also," Gao Cheng paused, "There is no contact record of the interview company in Yadao's mobile phone, maybe he didn't interview through a magazine or other recruitment advertisements, but saw the recruitment announcement posted outside the store and applied temporarily, and then the other party for some reason Ask him to interview the next day... If the police force is deployed according to these two points..."

After the meeting, Gao Cheng and Kaga left the police station together.

"We have gained time for the time being, but at most we can only postpone the press conference for one day."

Kaga handed Gao Cheng a map.

"The Seven Lucky Gods are on a pilgrimage, and someone saw Mr. Aoyagi enshrining purple paper cranes at the Sugimori Shrine a month ago..."

Kaga took Gao Cheng to walk among the streets: "I don't know what purpose Mr. Aoyagi is visiting the Seven Lucky Gods for, and then I have to go to the rest of the shrines."

"Officer Kaga, you should drive, otherwise it will be too slow."

Gao Cheng looked at the locations on the map where Wuming Qingliu appeared.

"Mr. Aoyagi has really walked a lot... But why did Yashima come to Nihombashi and travel so far to find a job in Nihonbashi? How can I say that this place is quite far from Arakawa..."

"The company that finds him for an interview might know about it," Kaga suggested. "Anyway, accompany me to the remaining shrines first."

"Eh? I'm going too?!"

"That's right, anyway, you don't need to investigate the Yashima line for the time being. It's better to run with one more person than one."

"That's right..."

...

Suitian Temple, a famous shrine in Tokyo to pray for safe delivery, is also the last shrine of the Seven Lucky Gods.

Gao Cheng ran around several shrines, and finally followed Kaga to meet at Shuitiangong. He was very tired: "The first-line criminal police... are really more tired than imagined..."

Kaga was not surprised: "How did it turn out?"

"Four months ago at Kasama Inari Shrine, someone saw Mr. Aoyagi enshrining green paper cranes."

"Someone on my side saw him using a digital camera to take pictures of blue origami cranes at the Tea Tree Shrine three months ago."

Kaga walked into the Shuitian Palace.

"This is the last one. If you find a clue, you will run another hundred times the distance tomorrow."

"what?"

Gao Cheng hurriedly followed: "Do you want to go to Xiuwenguan High School to check?"

"I've been coming here to worship paper cranes since about half a year ago," the abbot, a white-headed old man, explained when he was found. Together."

"Are the hundred origami cranes the same color every time?" Kaga asked.

"It started off as yellow, then green and blue, and it's different every month."

"Have you seen anyone who worships?"

"No," the abbot shook his head and said, "he always appears when there are few people..."

After asking, Kaga looked serious.

"Mr. Aoyagi did tell people that he went to other shrines just by chance... It seems that this is the place where he really wants to come. I'll look for it. The paper for the origami crane may be bought nearby."

"Then I'll ask the others."

Gao Cheng stayed in the shrine, watching the pedestrians coming and going.

It would be too strange if Takeming Aoyagi went to the Shuitian Palace to pray for a safe delivery. There was no pregnant woman in Aoyagi's family, and there was no need to make such a fuss. He started visiting the shrine half a year ago.

Rather than praying for a safe delivery, it is better to say...

Gao Cheng walked to the place next to the shrine where prayer objects were sold, and his eyes fell on the hanging price list.

"Water disaster...is there also water disaster prayer here?"

"Of course," the witch said with a smile, "There are also many people who pray for their children to be saved from flooding."

"Sure enough, my feeling is right. Swimming club, water difficulty...Mr. Aoyagi started to go to Nihonbashi half a year ago because of this..."

Gao Cheng glanced at the prayer objects, took out a photo of Wuming Qingliu and asked, "Have you seen this person? According to the abbot, he seems to come when there are fewer people."

The witch took the photo, shook her head and said, "I don't know too well... Excuse me, are you a policeman?"

"Well," Gao Cheng said, scratching the back of his head, "although I'm not a policeman, but I'm assisting the police in their investigation..."

"Ah," the witch suddenly said in surprise, "I remembered, you are that famous detective, right?"

"That's right."

Gao Cheng put away the photo of Takeming Aoyagi, and handed out his business card: "I am Kocheng Kido, please contact me if you think of anything..."

The witch happily put away the business card, and continued: "Speaking of which, a man named Fuyuki Yashima came here a few days ago and left the wishing card..."

"Fuyuki Yashima?" Gao Cheng was taken aback, and took out a photo of Yashima, "Is this the person?"

"Well," Miko nodded, looking at Yashima's photo and wondering, "Could it be that he is really the man shown on TV? But is he really a murderer? He doesn't look like that kind of person, he spent all his money I bought a wishing card for 500 yuan, and made a wish very seriously..."

"What about the wishing card?"

"We helped keep it. He doesn't seem to know that the wishing card here can be taken home, so he has been hanging on the tree next to it..."

When reunited with Kaga again, Gao Cheng had a wishing card full of words in his hand, and the inscription was indeed Yashima Fuyuki.

"For the sake of the child who is about to be born, I pray that I can find a job soon..."

"It happened to be the day before the incident," Gao Cheng murmured, "I heard from Miss Zhongyuan that Yashima took the tram back very late that day because he had no money..."

Kaga looked at the wishing card, took a deep breath, and handed Gaocheng a bag of colored washi paper: "Mr. Aoyanagi really used this kind of washi paper to make origami cranes. There are ten colors, starting from yellow in the middle, yellow, green, water Blue, blue, purple, and finally white, one hundred of each, after praying and taking photos at other shrines, put them in Suitiangong Shrine together with a thousand-yen letter..."

"Water disaster," Gao Cheng continued, "Mr. Kaga, in addition to praying for a safe delivery, the Shuitian Palace can also pray for the avoidance of water disaster... It really has something to do with Qingliu Youren."

Kaga and Gao Cheng walked side by side, nodded affirmatively: "Your intuition is right, it seems that it is necessary to investigate again."

"Okay." A smile appeared on Gao Cheng's face. Although the case was a bit cumbersome, the feeling of being close to the truth of the incident was particularly strong.

Because Qingliu Yuren and that teacher seem to be taboo about something, and they don't even talk about the swimming club accident back then...
