Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 402: So Familiar

The surroundings of Fuidu Mountain Villa were completely covered by snowstorm, and the bad visibility made it impossible to go out again. Everyone who returned to the wooden house couldn't help but rejoice.

It's too dangerous to stay outside in this weather...

"How? What did the police say?"

"it is true."

In the living room of the wooden house, Uncle Maori hangs up the phone in deep thought.

"I heard that there was an avalanche around 8 o'clock this evening. The tunnel leading here is really impassable. The police said that they will not know whether they can come here until tomorrow..."

"Even if there is no avalanche, it will be very difficult for the police to come here in this kind of weather."

Everyone in the room looked a little heavy for a while, only the two hunters looked relaxed and happy, whispering to each other mysteriously, not knowing what they were talking about.

Gao Cheng rested his chin, thinking about the Shikoku dog that lured him to the corpse with the chocolate in his mouth.

It's exactly the same as Saburo, almost thought I saw a ghost...

"Damn it!" Uncle Maori looked at the video camera and the camera brought back to the wooden house in wonder, "I brought Mr. Ergaki's camera and video camera back in order to find clues, but the tape in the video camera has never been used... the only one The clue is that the film in the camera is so hungry that it has been filmed. Before the forensic personnel developed it, they didn't know what was filmed..."

"Well," Miko Fenchuan interjected, "Leave the trivial matter of developing the negatives to me. Eryuan said that if he took a picture of a wild wolf, he wanted to see the photos immediately, so he even brought the tools for developing the negatives...

"Mother-in-law, let me use the bathroom, it can be used as a darkroom."

Fenchuan Shiguo skillfully rolled up his sleeves and took the film negative, and the old woman didn't hesitate to say, "Just use it."

"Then I'll help you." Xiaolan hurriedly followed Fen Chuan Shiguo to leave, leaving everyone around Uncle Mao Li.

The bearded man and the horse-faced man asked concerned: "Mr. Maori, is there really only that one roll of negatives? Doesn't that little brother have any other negatives or video tapes in his backpack?"

"Yes, but the negatives and videotapes haven't been opened yet."

"That is to say, the little brother was killed before he took any pictures?"

"Ok,

"Uncle Mao Li thought for a while, "I think Mr. Eryuan may prefer to take pictures with a camera, rather than the relationship between photography..."

"That's impossible!" Yazi interrupted, "If I really want to say it, Eryuan prefers to shoot with a camera, and he took a bunch of them last night!"

"yes?"

Uncle Mao Li looked at Yazi in a daze, not knowing how to explain it for a while.

Conan glanced at Gao Cheng, and asked Yazi, "Then can we watch those videotapes?"

"Yes, but he has a lot of video tapes in his backpack, so I don't know which ones were taken last night..."

"Hey!" The horse-faced man said anxiously, "I think it's better not to look at the things that the dead people took?"

"why?"

Uncle Mao Li looked at the two sweaty hunters strangely: "Could it be that there are some ulterior things in it?"

"When, of course not, it just feels weird..."

"If you really want to watch it, you can watch it together. There is no need to worry about the crowd." The old woman suggested.

"Ok……"

The horse-faced men watched Yazi go to the videotape in the room with gloomy expressions.

There is a TV set in the living room. After Yazi brought the video tape, everyone immediately gathered around to watch it, but there was nothing special about the content. It was all the usual video of making chocolate yesterday.

"Hmm." Yuanzi noticed that it wasn't on the video, but just stared suspiciously at the thinking Gao Cheng with raised eyebrows.

very familiar...

It's so familiar, how can this familiar detective look look so similar?

I remember the first time we met was in Izu, the second time was in the department store incident, and the third time we met in this kind of place...

"Grandmother," Gao Cheng suddenly asked the old woman with her hands behind her back, "Is there only Sanlang and a dog here?"

"Of course." The old woman looked at Saburo who was playing with a ball next to her, "Didn't you also see it? There is only Saburo here."

"Then why is it called Sanlang?" Gao Cheng asked.

"Because the dogs I raised before were called Taro and Jiro, but they are no longer in this world," the old woman sighed. "The name Taro is actually the name of my wife. As for Jiro, that dog is also a Shikoku dog just like Saburo. I heard that after my husband's ex-wife passed away, Jiro died with her not long after..."

"Is there any photo of Jiro?" Gao Cheng's expression brightened.

There is something wrong with the dog that looks exactly like Saburo.

"I think it should be in my husband's photo album. By the way, his room is the one where Mr. Ergaki lives..."

Yuanzi secretly observed Gao Cheng with a sullen face.

The tone of the question is also very familiar, and the situation is exactly the same as when Kido was there. Will you overthrow Uncle Mori's reasoning later?

"Mother-in-law," Conan had been listening quietly, seeing Yazi helping to go to the photo album, asked, "Is Jiro really dead?"

"That's right, I heard from my husband that he died of illness," the old woman touched Saburo affectionately, "Okay, Saburo, good boy, it's time to go into the cage."

"Wow!"

Uncle Mao Li stood up from the TV and stared blankly at the old woman taking Saburo away: "Did she just mention her ex-wife? So she is the stepmother..."

"The former boss mentioned this to us," the bearded man said while drinking a can of beer, "after his ex-wife passed away, he happened to meet this old lady who came to stay here, and they got together because they got along very well. "

"That's right," the horse-faced man chuckled, "I still remember that because the old lady was good at making snacks, this villa was still beautiful for a while, but since the death of the former wife, it has become more and more deserted..."

Gao Cheng looked at the two nostalgics: "From what you said, it seems that I used to come here often."

"Ah, no...we've only been here once before."

The bearded couple hurriedly changed the subject vaguely: "By the way, is the fourth volume of the videotape we are watching now the last volume?"

Yazi happened to come back with the old lady with the photo album, nodded and said, "Only these few tapes were taken yesterday."

"I said you two," Gao Cheng looked at the two hunters, frowning slightly, "It seems that you are very concerned about the tape taken by Mr. Eryuan..."

"No, no."

The bearded two haha ​​wiped their sweat.

"We also want to see if we can help find clues..."

"I found it, I found it," the old woman happily flipped through the photo album, pointing to an old gentleman and two identical Shikoku dogs, "That's it, the one on the left is Jiro, and the one on the right is Saburo. I heard that the medals were awarded to them by the county government when they rescued the trapped people..."

Gao Cheng and Conan followed to the album.

"These two dogs are exactly the same..."

"Huh?" The old lady also hesitated, "Is Sanlang the one on the left or the one on the right?"

"Grandma..."

"I'm talking about you guys, what about Saburo Jiro," Uncle Maori watched the video tape with a depressed expression, "It turned out that there were no clues at all, it was just an ordinary video..."

"That's not necessarily the case," Fenchuan Shiguo and Xiaolan came over from the bathroom, "At least we already know the time when Eryuan was killed."

Uncle Mao Li was stunned: "How do you say that?"

"Look at this picture."

Fenchuan Shiguo handed the developed photos to the uncle, and the last one had several obvious black shadows in the form of ink drops.

"There are no dark shadows in the previous photos, only this last one. I think it was taken just when Eryuan was attacked. There may be blood stains on the lens at that time."

"But, is this really blood?" Uncle Mao Li asked, staring at the photo.

"Absolutely not wrong," Xiaolan affirmed, "Because we put other negatives into the camera and tried it, and the developed photos also have black shadows!"

"So, it should be daytime when Mr. Ergaki was killed, and it was before the snow fell..."

Uncle Mao Li pondered: "I remember today from Mr. Eryuan's departure to the start of snowing, the only ones who are not in the villa are the old lady and you two who are looking for wild wolves in the mountains..."

The faces of the two bearded men changed drastically: "Hey, don't talk nonsense, we didn't kill people..."

Gao Cheng glanced over the people arguing.

No, photos with dark shadows are very problematic. The time of death of the deceased may have been tampered with by the murderer, not necessarily during the day.

People who need to do this kind of manipulation...

Gao Cheng's eyes turned to Fenchuan Shiguo and Yazi who had alibi.

When the blizzard came, they were the ones who went out to find someone, and they searched separately, so there was enough time for the crime.

But what happened to these two hunters?

sneaky...
