Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 41: The murderer was Satoshi Maeda?

   "Da da da!" The man dressed as a baron was quite decisive. He didn't pause when he saw Gao Cheng. Instead, he raised his hand knife while running and wanted to stun Gao Cheng first.

   "Huh!"

   The hand-knife offensive was neat and not at all muddle-headed, but suddenly fell through as Gao Cheng turned sideways.

   The weird man was taken aback, and he felt the danger at the same time he passed by. He hurriedly let go of his stature to avoid Gao Cheng's counterattack, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly became serious.

   Just like the previous scene in the elevator, Gao Cheng couldn't touch the weird person, but the weird person who was eager to escape couldn't help him. Several attacks between the electric light and flint fell in the empty space.

   Gao Cheng's eyes trembled slightly.

   After several back and forth attacks, he immediately realized that he was not the opponent of the opponent, and that the opponent was definitely a karate master...

   Feeling the scorching pain of the strong wind on his face, Gao Cheng sinks his heart, stepping up one step at a time, and suddenly stretches out his hand to grab his back in the strange eyes of the stranger.

   "Huh!"

   Facing the storm-like attack, Gao Cheng summoned Lake Toya instantly and grabbed it in his hand.

   Gao's, one knife!

   "What?" The weirdo had already seen Gao Cheng pull out a wooden knife from behind, and before he was surprised, he realized that his opponent seemed to have changed.

   With a steady and sharp gaze, the whole world seemed to be the only figure holding the sword, and the slow and fast wooden knife bloomed with unprecedented brightness.

   "Bang!" The strange figure was tight and couldn't keep up with the attack. He had only time to block the whole person with his arm, and he flew directly with a wooden knife, hitting the corner heavily.

   snorted and propped up his body, eccentric people didn't look at Gao Cheng, and the wind ran away from the other side.

   "Don't run!" Gao Cheng was stunned, and hurried to catch up with the wooden knife, but he lost the strange person near the toilet.

   "No, it's gone..."

   Gao Cheng looked around again.

   He didn't expect the other party to escape so simply, but...

   Thinking of the opponent's skill just now, Gao Cheng frowned suspiciously.

   This "Duke of the Dark Night" is very strange. I don't want to talk about why it appears here. It's a bit too skillful.

  ……

  In the interrogation room, Gao Cheng almost followed Xiaolan back here, and he heard the loud voice of Mouri Kogoro before he opened the door.

   "You said the Duke of Dark Night appeared again?!"

   "That's right!" Conan described, "When we took the elevator back to the 19th floor together, it was the moment the door opened..."

   "What the hell?" Maori looked at Xiaolan angrily, "Why don't you catch him?"

   "I'm sorry, I was taken aback..." Xiaolan did not say her guess with great anxiety.

   "Henggou Criminal Police!" Several police officers and Gao Cheng entered the interrogation room together. "Sanze passed out in the corpse accommodation room. It looks like someone knocked him out!"

   "What?" Henggou asked in surprise, "Where is the body?"

   "The body is fine, but the clothes of the Duke of Dark Night suddenly disappeared!"

   "If it's the clothes of the Duke of Dark Night," Gao Cheng followed behind and said, "It's on the second floor toilet right now."

   "Kito boy?!" Mouri Kogoro said in surprise, "How did you know? Could it be you..."

   "How is it possible? I just ran into that guy coming down from the stairs, and when I chased him, I found the clothes in the toilet."

   Gao Cheng glanced at the police officer who was carried in and fainted, and turned to the horizontal channel: "Officer Henggou, I already know who the stealer is. Can I do another investigation?"

   "Okay!" Henggou did not hesitate, and quickly ordered his subordinates, "Notify all the suspects to gather in the interrogation room!"

"Yes!"

   "Senior Gao Cheng..." Xiaolan looked at Gao Cheng hesitantly, wanting to ask but didn't know how to speak.

   After a while, the members of the tour group gathered in the interrogation room again.

"Really? Everyone stays in their room...Is there no evidence?" Henggou said with a headache, "In other words, when Xiaolan and the others were attacked just now, none of the others had an alibi... …"

   "Wait! Mr. Police, didn't you tell us to stay in the room? We just did what we ordered..."

   "Yeah, yeah!" everyone shouted.

   Gao Cheng carefully observed the people returning to the interrogation room, and found that Satoshi Maeda's expression in the crowd changed obviously when he saw Lake Toya in his hand, and his right arm looked a little unnatural.

   Satoshi Maeda is the champion of Japanese karate. If the Duke of the Dark Night was just this person, it would make sense... But this person looks good, is he really a murderer?

   Gao Cheng stepped aside, pretending to bump Maeda Satoshi's arm casually.

   "Hiss!" Maeda's face instantly paled. Although he quickly resisted the pain, the strange behavior still attracted everyone's attention.

   "Mr. Maeda, are you injured?" Henggou asked in confusion.

   "No, nothing," Maeda clutched his arm, glanced at Gao Cheng complicatedly, and smiled reluctantly, "I just accidentally hurt my arm, it doesn't matter."

   "Huh?" Conan's eyes fell sensitively on Maeda.

   It’s too strange that a karate champion would hurt his arm for no reason.

   Conan thought of the fight between the Duke of Dark Night and Xiao Lan in front of the elevator, but it didn’t look like he hurt his arm...

   "Let's do it," Gao Cheng didn't reveal it directly, and said to Police Officer Henggou and Maeda, "I think we should check everyone's room first... Mr. Maeda, is it okay from your room?"

   "Uh...good..."

   Sweat appeared on Satoshi Maeda's forehead, knowing that Gao Cheng had guessed his identity.

Room 1901, Maeda Satoshi and Sayama Akiko’s room, Mouri Kogoro seemed to feel that the wind had fallen before, and rushed to search the room in front of Gao Cheng. Conan this guy also jumped up and down in the room, holding a small notebook to write and draw. , Making Maori a fire~www.NovelMTL.com~ Gao Cheng first followed Maori to check the personal belongings of Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama, and then followed to look at the balcony and the windows in the room.

He probably figured out the layout of the room, even the balcony. Although there is a window on the side on the right-angle wall below the balcony of his room, it is basically impossible for the karate champion Satoshi Maeda to get down from above. According to the testimony of Akiko Sayama, she had been watching TV in the room.

  Whether Sayama Akiko is lying, let’s not mention it. In this way, the only possible escape route for Satoshi Maeda is to jump to the balcony of his room, but how did Maeda know that he did not lock the glass door...

   Gao Cheng tried to stick his head out, but he couldn't see the glass door of his room from below.

   Did Maeda escape from other people's rooms?

   "Huh? What kind of medicine is this?" Henggou asked in confusion, holding a plate of pills found from Akiko Sayama's pocket.

   "It's my sleeping pill," Akiko Sayama replied, "I often suffer from insomnia recently, so I always carry it with me..."

   "Sleeping pills?" Gao Cheng looked at Satoshi Maeda and asked Sayama, "Are you really watching TV here at 10 o'clock when the crime happened?"

   "Well," Sayama nodded, remembering, "By the way, I called the counter at that time."

   "Is that so..."

   After searching the room, Gao Cheng pinned Lake Toya on his belt and left room 1901 contemplatively. He always felt like he had entered a dead end.

   Although he knew that Satoshi Maeda was the Duke of the Dark Night with him, he had more doubts.

  If Maeda was the murderer, why did he specially steal the Duke of Dark Night's clothes? Why did he appear inexplicably outside the elevator on the 19th floor and be seen by Xiaolan? There are also killing methods...
