Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

During the ceremony, Xiaoqiao Xianjian stood at the door with a tense expression, with a trace of sweat gradually streaming down his face, silently looking at Huoji Jiuyao's corpse kneeling by the wall.

All the wires of the magic lamp that originally ran under the carpet were pulled out, and the middle section was wrapped around Huo Si Jiuyao's neck and hung on a low hook on the wall. What kind of ceremony is being held.

In exactly the same way as the doll's death, there was a second victim after President Qinglong.

Gao Cheng became more and more calm, but even so he couldn't help frowning.

According to the stiffness of the corpse, the time of Huoji Jiuyao's death was roughly between 11:30 and 12:30 last night, just when the tea party was about to be held. Guimen seemed to stay in the living room all the time, and even the people behind them went to the bathroom one after another without leaving the room.

"It's a pity," Heigua Guimen heard the news and came to the ceremony, and saw that Huo Si Jiu Yao's body was not in the slightest. "Jiu Yao didn't go to the tea party yesterday, and he was cursed by the Holy Spirit after all..."

"Mr. Heigua," Xiaoqiao Xianjian looked closely at Heigua Guimen, "you said yesterday that you can't come before the tea party before the ceremony, did you already know something?"

"Didn't I say it a long time ago?" Heigua Guimen said coldly, "The Holy Spirit descended here yesterday. Since Mr. Jiu Yao has experienced the ceremony, he should be aware of the consequences of the backlash of the curse..."

Xiaoqiao Xianjian clenched his fist and watched Heigua Guimen leave helplessly. He didn't have any evidence against Heigua Guimen, and this person also had a sufficient alibi.

"Kirodo..."

"Let's wait until the police arrive."

Gao Cheng shook his head and didn't say much.

He couldn't make an inference until he found out more clues, and he was also very curious as to why the murderer wanted to kill people in the way of cursing dolls. If it wasn't pure evil, then there must be some reason.

What's even more strange is that he actually chose to kill him when he, a famous detective, was visiting. It seemed like a provocation, or was there a reason why he had to do it last night?

It didn't take long for the Nagano police to arrive. Originally, Gao Cheng thought he would meet Yamato Kansuke from last time, but the police officer leading the team was another person, with a horse face and a decent look, and he seemed to have something to do with him. learn.

"Detective Kido,

The horse-faced police officer brought Gao Cheng and Xiaoqiao to the monitoring room of the Grape House. , although the picture is not very clear, but if you look closely, you can still see the magic light shining through the lace curtain..."

The police officer called up the monitoring screen, and then the horse-faced police officer said: "At 12 o'clock, the light went out, and it was turned on again at 12:11 about 10 minutes later, and then it was not until the body light was found. It's all lit."

The horse-faced police officer said cautiously: "If according to what you said, the wires of the magic lamp pass through the seams of the carpet. If you want to arrange it as a scene, you must unplug it first, that is to say... the murderer did it in the magic lamp. During the time the lights went out."

Xiaoqiao Xianjian looked at the monitoring screen and nodded: "No one has tampered with the monitoring, at least we can be sure that the prisoner was between the ceremony during the 11 minutes when the lights were turned off..."

"That's the problem," the horse-faced police officer said in a deep voice, "I heard that at that time you all gathered in the living room for some tea party, did anyone leave in the middle?"

"This……"

Xiaoqiao Xianjian said with a headache: "After 12 o'clock, everyone is in the living room. Although some people leave, the time is within 5 minutes, and the magic lamp is turned off at 12 o'clock. The latest to arrive in the living room is Kentaro and Hoshiko. When it was just after one o'clock, it would take 2 or 3 minutes at the fastest to get from the ceremony to the living room, and it was too late..."

The horse-faced police officer frowned: "Do you have a more accurate time when you go in and out of the living room?"

"How is it possible to remember clearly..."

"By the way," Kentaro Izawa, who had been silent all this time, said pleasantly, "I remembered that when I was debugging the anti-theft monitoring system here, it seemed that there was a camera that could take pictures of the entrance from the outside, and I could see something. People come and go in and out of the living room... I'll help you find it."

Izawa sat in front of the surveillance computer and found the camera at the entrance from the surveillance files.

"That's it, I just saw the entrance of the living room from the window in the entrance..."

"Great."

The horse-faced police officer saw the surveillance video, and his mood relaxed a lot, and he also gave Izawa Kentaro a high look.

"Is this the little brother who entrusted Detective Chenghu to investigate the case?"

"Well," Kentaro Izawa said embarrassedly, "Originally I asked Xiaoqiao, but I heard that Senior Kido was also in Karuizawa, so I came to visit him. I personally believe in Senior's ability..."

Gao Cheng's face was calm when he heard Izawa's words, and he focused on watching the surveillance screen.

It was Jing Ze and Huosi Xingzi who entered the living room after 12 o'clock, and the time shown on the surveillance screen was 12:01.

"Izawa, have you been with Miss Hoshiko all this time?"

"How is it possible?" Izawa blushed, "We met in the corridor, when Miss Xingzi just came out of the kitchen...Senior, don't you doubt Xingzi? The magic lamp goes out at 12 o'clock, Xingzi is absolutely No time to unplug..."

"That's true," Gao Cheng stared at the surveillance screen, "but everyone else arrived in the living room before 12 o'clock..."

The surveillance video continued to play. At 12:3, Mrs. Xiao went out. Then at 12:4, President Xiao also left the living room. Then at 12:6, they went back to the living room together. After that, they went out to get some snacks for Yuantai The maid and Secretary Kaizaki...

"At 12:7, Miss Xingzi came out, and at 12:12 she came back with herbal tea...just went out for 5 minutes."

Xiaoqiao Xianjian frowned even deeper.

"In this way, everyone has an alibi. Could it be that someone outside committed the crime?"

"It seems that this is the only possibility," the horse-faced police officer said in a deep voice, "I'll have someone investigate the surroundings of the villa again, and if you have any clues, please let me know immediately."

"it is good."

Xiaoqiao Xianjian had no choice but to follow the crowd out of the monitoring room, scratched his hair, and asked Gao Cheng, who was thinking beside him, "Shiroto, did you find anything?"

Gao Cheng came back to his senses, looked at the distressed Xiaoqiao and shook his head: "No, the murderer really couldn't get from the ceremony to the living room of the main house within 1 minute, wait for the police officers to investigate first, I still have to watch Dian Yuantai and the others... where is Miss Quan?"

"It seems to be in the restaurant, those brats were there just now."

"I haven't eaten breakfast yet, let's have some together. Investigation also requires energy."

Gao Cheng went to the restaurant first.

He didn't talk about some things in detail with Xiaoqiao Xianjian, and the clues in front of him seemed to be what someone wanted him to see, so he always felt that something was wrong, and felt that there was a huge black shadow shrouded around him.

This incident needs further investigation.

If the other party is really targeting him, let's fight hard, underestimating him will definitely pay the price...

In the guest room of the villa, Kentaro Izawa walked into a room with the curtains closed alone, and looked at the black melon ghost gate standing by the window with his back turned.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, why did you have to find Kido Gaocheng? He doesn't seem to be as powerful as you said, and he doesn't look like a detective at all..."

"Really?" Heigua Guimen turned around and said with a playful smile, "How do you look like a detective?"

"At least I don't feel the slightest pressure from him, but Xiaoqiao makes me a little worried..."

Izawa Kentaro couldn't help but frowned when he thought of Gao Cheng who was like a nanny, and a complicated look appeared on Xiaoqiao's face again.

"Whether you are under pressure or not has nothing to do with me," Heigua Guimen said with a calm smile, "Your friend and Kido Takasei are just the audience I invited, as I said, I will not intervene in other things, only Teach you the modus operandi."
