Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

? The first floor of the wooden house hotel is the warehouse, kitchen and dining room in addition to the staff's room, and the second floor is four rooms for the detectives.

Except for the different directions, all the houses are almost exactly the same in terms of decoration and structure. It has to be said that it is a broken point, but it is undoubtedly a perfect stage for reasoning.

If it's really a TV show, the person in charge has a good eye.

"There is still no signal," Hattori propped his chin and kept fiddling with the phone, "I don't know if that woman Kazuba is messing around..."

"It's useless," Tan Bai wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully, "this is a completely isolated island, and can only be accessed by boat."

"Do you still need to say it?" Hattori put away his mobile phone sullenly, because he was unhappy with Baima for no reason.

I don't know if it's because of the similar family background, I feel naturally uncomfortable...

After drinking the lipstick tea, Hattori turned to Tsuneo and asked, "Uncle, it's about time you told us now, right?"

"Ah?" Hammer tail gnawed on the chicken leg in a daze.

"That's why you pretended to be a director to participate in the project of Detective Koshien," Hattori asked, "If it's not to test our ability, then what is it for?"

"No, no," Maowei smoked a cigarette, "If I say it, I won't be able to get the agreed performance fee."

"Is it the day to sell TV?"

"Ok."

"By the way, Brother Kido," Conan suddenly asked curiously, "Did you know this Uncle Tsutsumi and Uncle Kotani from the kitchen from the beginning?"

"No," Gao Cheng looked away from the window, "I just met Butler Kotani when I was in Shikoku."

"Shikoku?"

"I've been there before to do a little business."

Gao Cheng looked at Maowei: "As for this uncle... I don't know much about it?"

Tsuchio wiped his sweat with a dry smile: "Because Detective Kido is very famous, I'm worried about being exposed..."

"Really?" White Horse Tan asked with a smile,

"Mr. Tsuchio, can I trouble you to answer a question for me? I noticed the scent of lavender everywhere when I walked into this hotel..."

"It's not just the dining room, it seems that every room has a pot of lavender, and a toolbox next to the pot...do these have any special meaning?"

"This," Mallet hesitated, "Actually, I don't know..."

Kogu Lianzo walked out of the kitchen with dessert, "It's what detectives should do to solve these questions, right? According to my understanding, that should be the case."

"That's right," Detective Baima said with a light smile, "but in the situation of being completely isolated from the outside world, even if you want to investigate..."

"The murder at the Lavender Villa," Koshimizu Nanatsuki interjected suddenly, looking casually at Gao Chengdao, "I can think of something related to Lavender that happened in Shikoku in the past."

Conan said unexpectedly: "I also heard that the eldest lady who lived there died in the secret room. At first, she thought it was suicide, but half a year later, there was a commotion again. I heard that because of the police's improper handling, a maid there died Unfortunately, he committed suicide, and it caused a heated discussion... Kido brother, is it because of this that you went to Shikoku?"

"It just happened to happen."

Gao Cheng silently put down the tableware and stood up, squeezed out a smile and said: "Okay, the meal is over, and the mystery of the secret room can be solved. As the guest of this event, I will come first."

"What? You have already solved the mystery of the secret room?" Hattori stared suspiciously, "Is there some insider information? Maybe this time the secret room and the lavender incident have the same technique, and you just happened to know... ..."

"What are you worried about? Anyway, I'm not the representative of the competition." Gao Cheng waved his hand and left the restaurant. "In short, I will arrange your room as a secret room first. It will take about an hour. During this time, you and Conan will stay in the restaurant." Here, no peeking is allowed."

"Who do you think will peek?!" Hattori gritted his teeth with a black face, "This guy definitely did it on purpose! Isn't it just that he doesn't have a sense of existence?"

"Uh," Hammer Tail swallowed, got up with an ugly face and said, "I'll go out for a while..."

"What's wrong?"

"I've run out of cigarettes, I'll get them in my room..."

Tsuchio left in a panic, leaving Hattori with a few expressions of thought.

No one is a fool, mallet has been very strange, as if afraid of something.

"Is there something else this guy is hiding?" Hattori muttered.

"Maybe."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki kept staring at Gao Cheng's disappearing figure at the door, his eyes trembled and he seemed a little absent-minded, and he clenched his palms before leaving his seat.

"I think I should go to the bathroom too."

"What are these guys doing?" Hattori suddenly wanted to see how Gao Cheng arranged the secret room, but he couldn't hold back his face and settled for the dessert after dinner sullenly.

Having said that, every time I meet these guys, I will be involved in the incident, so don't make any trouble this time...

Hattori stared at the rest of the restaurant in disbelief, took a bite of the dim sum, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.

On the second floor of the hotel, Gao Cheng returned to his room, and directly picked out the screwdrivers, pliers and adhesives in the toolbox.

The technique of the secret room is indeed exactly the same as the original Lavender Villa. Lavender is deliberately placed in every corner, even if he doesn't want to.

I can't even think of it.

And even Renzo Kotani, who was the housekeeper at the Lavender Villa at the time, appeared here...

According to memory, you only need to remove the entire window frame, cut off half of the fixing screws, and the rest is to fix it with adhesive and restore it to its original state. After the adhesive is completely dry, the whole process will take about an hour...

Gao Cheng didn't do anything immediately, but just leaned against the window and looked out.

The rain was getting heavier, and under the light, I saw a figure running towards a small wooden cabin next to it against the rain, and hastily pried the door lock.

A jacket overalls can be seen in the dim light.

It's that guy Malachi...

"Dong Dong." Before Gao Cheng could continue to observe, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Detective Kido, I'm Yueshui," Yueshui Nanatsuki stood at the door hesitantly, "I..."

Gao Cheng opened the door directly: "Come in."

"Eh?"

Yue Shui walked into the room a little confused, feeling like Gao Cheng was waiting for her.

"that……"

Yue Shui glanced at the tools placed in front of the window, and his expression became a little stiff: "It turns out that Detective Kido has really solved the secret room technique, just as I thought..."

"Last year," Gao Cheng interrupted, looking out the window, "it was probably around this time, I went to Shikoku for business."

"Last year? Could it be..."

"That's right, I did intervene in that case, and I also discovered this so-called secret room technique."

"Yes, is it?" Yue Shui couldn't react to Gao Cheng's confession, and smiled confusedly, "But...why?"

Gao Cheng put his hands together and said in a deep voice: "I was still thinking, who set up such a situation in the name of Nikai TV Station, but I didn't expect that it was you who came here... You seem to want to find the detective who intervened in that case Right? What are you going to do now?"

Yue Shui looked closely at Gao Cheng's back, his eyes were covered with water vapor, he bit his lip and said with reddened eyes, "I just want to ask...why? You are a famous detective, why don't you tell the truth to the police? If the police had known in time, the maid might have..."

"Sorry, it was too late when I arrived at the police station."

Gao Cheng closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"I just happened to pass by that time, and I went to see the murderer when I heard about the lavender incident. When I found out the problem, the maid had already jumped into the sea... After all, I am just a detective, not a prophet, and there are times when I can't do anything."

"But, but... wasn't it you who provided the evidence of homicide to the police?" Yue Shui said in confusion, "If it wasn't you, then who is it!"

After a pause, Yue Shui suddenly thought of the TV program that Gao Cheng participated in at that time, and his face turned pale: "Is Shi Jin moist?"

Gao Cheng turned to look at Yue Shui and asked, "Can you tell me why you care so much about the Lavender Villa incident?"

"Because," Yue Shui tightened his fingers, "because that maid is my good friend..."

"So you found all these people because of that maid?"

"The media didn't announce the name of the detective who handled the case. The only clue is that my friend called me before the incident, saying that it was a high school student detective who spoke emphatically and strangely. He suspected that she was the murderer and wanted me to help her..."

Yue Shui looked uncomfortable.

"But the case was closed when I went there... I have a strange accent, and I can speak in front of the police. That's all I can think of, but Junzai Shijin couldn't get in touch..."

"It's okay to specially call for Butler Jiagu," Gao Cheng asked suspiciously, "What's the matter with that hammer tail?"

"He is the thief who tampered with the window." Yue Shui said with his head down.

"So it turns out that Mr. Jiagu knew about Missy's suicide but didn't tell the police. Both of them can be said to be the ones who indirectly killed the maid." Gao Cheng nodded slightly, "Then you called them here... "

"That's right," Yue Shui said regretfully, "The rescue boat won't come, I made an agreement with the captain, if I tell others about this, I won't pay him the rest of the money, because I'm dead I don't want to let them go, and I'm also thinking about what to do if the detective sees through my plan...It's a pity that Shi Jinjun didn't come..."

Yue Shui seemed to be dying, he turned around and was about to leave: "I'm sorry, Detective Kido, for involving you, please say sorry to them for me."

Gao Cheng's expression remained unchanged: "Do you know why the police didn't announce the truth, and the media didn't report my identity?"

Yue Shui's footsteps paused slightly.

Gao Cheng continued: "In the final analysis, just a few cut screws can't explain anything. Without evidence, the police can't prosecute at all. Even if the maid is really the murderer, they can only let it go. Even if you do another investigation, sooner or later you will be killed." It was discovered that he did not kill...

"However, when everything is not unfolding, your friend suddenly committed suicide by jumping into the sea. Once the report comes out, the local police will bear the brunt of the investigation. At that time, the police will blame all the problems on the maid, and even mistakenly characterize the maid as Suicide in fear of crime..."

Gao Cheng gently looked at the undulating waves in the distance: "The reality is so cruel. If your friend waits, waits for you or waits for me, even if the police give up... But if there is no such thing, there is nothing we can do."

After a pause, Gao Cheng's ears moved slightly, and he turned his head and shouted to Kogu Lianzo who was listening silently outside the door: "Mr. Kogu, can you come in?"

Yue Shui looked at the door suspiciously, and watched Jia Gu Lian San push the door in: "You..."

"Mr. Kotani probably started to doubt when he saw me, but he didn't say anything." Gao Cheng looked directly at the silent Kotani Renzo, "Isn't it?"

"I'm sorry," Jiaguliansan said with tears in his eyes, choked up and faced Yueshui, "I'm really sorry, for the sake of Miss's reputation, I really can't say it... I thought the suspicion of the maid would be cleared up soon, but I didn't expect it. become like that..."

"Don't apologize to me," Yue Shui turned his head away, "It's too late to say anything now, the radio equipment on the other side of the hut has been destroyed by me before, and no one who stays on this island can survive..."

"Someone will come to save us..."

Gao Cheng was not worried at all, with a faint smile on his face.

"Because my little assistant is still over there."

"You knew it from the beginning?" Yue Shui narrowed his eyes and stared at Gao Cheng in a daze, "But you obviously didn't even realize that Mutsuo was a fake director..."

"Maybe it's the detective's intuition," Gao Cheng said vaguely as he walked out of the room, "Go back to the restaurant, everyone is still waiting."

Yue Shui stood in the room without moving, looking at Gao Cheng's back with a complicated expression.

In the restaurant on the first floor, Hattori pressed the mallet heavily on the seat: "Uncle, can you please explain it carefully now?!"

"What happened?" Gao Chengcai went back to the restaurant and saw the terrified look on Maowei's face.

"What else can I do? This guy actually wants to sneak away!" Hattori pressed the tail of the hammer angrily, suddenly froze for a moment, then turned to look at Gao Cheng, "Didn't you say that the secret room technique will take an hour? It will be over so soon ?”

"It's nothing, I just tried it casually." Gao Cheng smiled lightly and returned to his seat.

He also saw the mallet tail prying open the door lock of the hut just now, but it probably didn't yield much. Apart from the damaged radio equipment, there was only one generator in the hut.

"Detective Shiro, Kido," Tsuneo shrank his neck, facing Gao Cheng's gaze, "I really didn't want to escape, I just wanted to use the emergency wireless walkie-talkie in the warehouse, but someone smashed it... It was fine when I came to familiarize myself with the venue three days ago!"

"Isn't this strange?" Hattori asked suspiciously, "Why are you looking for an emergency wireless walkie-talkie?"

"Because, because," Maowei glanced at Gao Cheng, and hesitated, "I feel something is wrong..."

"Hatbu, don't make things difficult for him," Gao Cheng interrupted shaking his head, "This Mr. Thief can't say anything, let's wait for the rescue to come."

"Rescue?" Hattori let go of the hammer, and looked at Gao Chengdao in a daze, "What rescue?"

"The captain won't be back for a while," Yue Shui walked into the restaurant and explained lightly, "No one knows where we are, that's all."

"what?!"

"Heiji—!" As soon as he said that, there was a sound of a ship's engine outside, and Kazuba's loud voice sounded from afar.

Yue Shui was stunned, Gao Cheng was the first to heave a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled and said, "Let's go, uncle and the others should be quite worried."

Hattori grabbed Gao Cheng in a daze: "Kiroto, you can explain clearly what's going on!"
