Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 53: Best not to provoke a detective

   "Mr. Mi," Gao Cheng asked suddenly, "what time is the power outage?"

   "Time," Granny Mi thought about it, "it seems to be around 12:30, because the lights will turn on soon, so I have to look at the time."

   "12:30..."

   Gao Chengyang raised the remote control in his hand: "Has anyone set to turn on the air conditioner regularly?"

   "No, there is no need for timing..." Granny Mi said in confusion, "But speaking of it, at that time, I just felt a warm breeze coming and the lights went out..."

   "Detective Jodo, is there any question?" Gojo Suzu asked immediately.

   "It shouldn't be a coincidence, but someone deliberately set the timing to turn on, as for the reason..."

   Gao Cheng thought about going up to the second floor and checked the air-conditioning remote controls in other rooms, and found that all the remote controls were set with timing, and they were all at the time of "12:30" when the power went out.

   "Although it is not certain, but if there is no accident, this is the cause of the circuit breaker tripping and power failure... That is to say, Miss Lihua is not an accomplice..."

   Gao Cheng looked at the heavy rain outside, and said solemnly: "Miss Lihua has probably been killed. Now I can only wait for the police to come and search in the forest tomorrow."

   There are too few useful clues right now. The only thing he is certain is that the murderer is among the four people of Rota, Takashi Ichiji, Ojosuke, and Mifune. It is unclear whether the murderer is one or two of them.

   Gao Cheng looked at Kazutaka and Gojo Shu who remained in the living room.

  Because of his detective's relationship, the prisoner will undoubtedly be several times more cautious, and it is difficult to show his feet. It is already the limit to narrow the scope of the murderer to the six people.

   didn't go back to the living room immediately, Gao Cheng closed his eyes and tried his best to recall all the details.

   From the beginning, Miss Lihua disappeared, everyone looked for it, and then Nikaidou was drowned... Sleeping pills... Blackout...

   The surrounding space changes rapidly, and clues emerge, once again entering the one-minute thinking space.

   "Huh?" Gao Cheng was stunned, and his reaction was that after turning on the mode for one minute, without delay, his fingers flicked between the details.

   The accident 2 years ago is obviously not that simple. After all, Nikaitang and Reihua Shijing died and the other disappeared...

  The murderer deliberately put sleeping pills in the coffee instead of poison, and deliberately carried him to the kitchen sink, which is quite unreasonable...obviously there is a certain purpose.

   This is not a random murder, but a motivated and premeditated murder, including sleeping pills and killing him is part of the murderer's tactics...

   Gao Cheng stood firmly in the thinking space, and all the details, including all the words spoken by Liu Tian and others flashed in front of him.

   Someone must have lied...

   One of these people must have misled everyone's thinking, but it was not obvious and very hidden.

   It is a pity that he drank sleeping pills and was not there at the most critical time, otherwise he might be able to dig out clues from the other party's words and deeds.

   The one-minute time limit is approaching, Gao Cheng frowned and continued to ponder the details of the case.

The murderer deliberately hid Shijing Lihua somewhere, and then took advantage of the opportunity to find the forest to kill Nikaitang, the villa's telephone lines were all cut off, indicating that the murderer still has unfulfilled goals, or he still needs to kill, or Just what techniques need to be completed.

   The most probable purpose is undoubtedly to forge an alibi.

   So what was the purpose of the murderer's attack on him?

   "Water, drown..." Gao Cheng murmured while supporting his chin.

The key point of the    case lies in the "water". One possibility is that the octopus also drowned 2 years ago, and the other possibility...

   "The murderer hopes to form mental inertia and hide his true method of killing Lihua Sijing."

   Gao Cheng's eyes moved, and once again he quickly filtered what Liu Tian and others had said.

   If it is the second possibility, then the clue to crack the case may lie in Reihua Sijing.

   Where is Shijing Lihua?

  The forest is obviously unrealistic. The trunks of the cars with a puncture are very likely, but there are still many problems.

   The remaining possible place is the villa. Although everyone has searched it, since the murderer is among the four people in Liutian, it is also very convenient to do small actions, such as robbing others in front of others to search for a place, pretending not to find it.

   In any case, Shijing Lihua should be not far from the pool or sink, so that the killer can disguise the killing technique and make an alibi...

   The picture in front of Gao Cheng has dropped sharply, showing several possible places.

The first is the fountain in front of the villa. The place where Nikaitang was drowned is not far from the parking spot. Then there is the villa kitchen, where the murderer intends to use the same technique on him. There are also several restrooms. Just the bathroom...

   "Wow!" The one-minute mode stopped abruptly, the thinking space surrounding Gao Cheng disappeared suddenly, and everything returned to its original state.

   fainted for a while, and hurriedly supported the wall next to him, for a long time to slow down.

   Different from the one-minute mode used in system release cases, the one-minute mode in daily cases is passively activated and seems to consume a lot of physical energy.

   Gao Cheng walked to the living room with a pale face: "Mr. Mi, can you help me prepare a cup of sugar water?"

   "Cityto Detective?" Granny Mi was taken aback when she saw Gao Cheng's appearance, and hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen, "You should rest, don't hold on, so that your body will be weak."

   "It's nothing, I just drink some sugar water."

   Gao Cheng smiled awkwardly, followed Granny Mi into the kitchen, and waited while checking where there might be Tibetans in the kitchen, but nothing was gained.

"Mother-in-law," Gao Cheng took a sip of the sugar water and felt a lot more comfortable. He saw Granny Mi put the sugar back into the cupboard, and asked by the way, "When you were making coffee here before, didn't you find anything wrong? For example, someone Come in."

   "No," Granny Mi said, shaking her head, "I was looking for sugar everywhere after I made coffee. I bought this can of sugar five years ago, and I found it for a while if I forgot to put it there..."

"five years ago?"

   Gao Cheng flicked his fingers, almost unable to grasp the cup.

  Hello, how long is the shelf life of the sugar?

  ...

   It was still raining outside the villa. Gao Cheng walked to the fountain with an umbrella. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect. He always felt a little uncomfortable after drinking sugar water.

   Nikaidou's body was still placed by the pool, but it was covered with a piece of cloth to avoid rain washing.

   Gao Cheng looked around the fountain carefully, and after not finding anything unusual in the pool, he turned his eyes to the parking spot not far away. The six cars with flat tires were still in the rain.

He looked around. If you hid Sijing Lihua in the car and moved it to the fountain, it would be easy to be seen by the people in the living room. It might be possible to move into the villa through the side door, but not to mention the trouble. The possibility of discovery.

   "Keep it here for a while."

   Gao Cheng observed the surroundings of the villa and then returned to the villa. This time he did not disturb the others, but quietly checked the surroundings of the bathroom.

   After checking several toilets, he felt that the possibility of the murderer hiding Lihua Sijing here is not very high, and it is easy to be spotted, and the toilets are not convenient to arrange.

   In the end, there is only the bathroom...

   "Click!" The corridor on the bathroom side was very dark, and Gao Cheng fumbled to open the doors one by one.

   A small storage room, a toilet, and a dim bathroom at the end. Gao Cheng pressed the light switch, but found that there was no response. The light bulb seemed to be broken.

   It is really strange to say that the lights in other places are all on, only the corridor here is dim.

   Gao Cheng's expression tightened, this side is undoubtedly the most likely place, very suitable for the murderer to do his hands and feet, even the murderer broke the light bulb here beforehand.

   The bathroom is not too big, the only hiding place is the washing machine, the cabinet under the sink, and...

   Gao Cheng checked the washing machine and the cabinet one after another, and finally walked to the bathtub covered by the cover. After he reached out and lifted the cover, his eyes suddenly tightened, and then the corners of his mouth raised to reveal an inexplicable smile.

   "So that's it..."

In the bathtub, Miss Lihua was lying in the water with her whole body fixed by tape. She seemed to have been put on sleeping pills. The young lady was still asleep, but the water in the bathtub reached the neck, and it was still slowly increasing. , I am afraid it will rise to let Sijing Lihua drown in an hour or so.

   Gao Cheng looked at the shower head floating in the bathtub silently releasing water, paused, and turned off the water valve smoothly.

   The whole case is undoubtedly very clear and clear. The reason why the murderer did so many tricks is all for the present method. The only thing that is not clear is who the murderer is.

   This is either to wait for Lihua Sijing to wake up, or to wait for the murderer to show her feet, because the murderer will inevitably come to close the forgery scene after Lihua Sijing drowns naturally...

   Gao Cheng looked at Miss Lihua who was sleeping in the bathtub with a complicated expression. After closing the bathtub lid, he held Lake Toya and turned and left the bathroom.

   The effect of sleeping pills has not completely faded, but he is not drowsy at all at the moment.

   This eldest lady is not a good person, but the murderer who may be for revenge is also a **** who committed a crime. He wants to meet each other well...
