Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 530: The target is Uncle Maori

In the afternoon, there was fine snow in the snow village again, and the bare century-old cherry blossom trees in front of the kimono shrine in the village seemed to bloom brilliant cherry blossoms.

While the police were searching for another earring pendant at the hotel, Gaocheng accompanied Akechi Eri to the tree again.

"When my sister committed suicide, I was studying fiction in Boston. I didn't know until a year later." Akechi Eri looked at the snowflakes falling among the branches sadly, "My cowardly sister was actually planted to sell drugs. Finally took the road of suicide... Why didn't she tell me? I am her sister, the only relative she has in this world, so I didn't even see her for the last time...

"Those two people are really deceiving people too much, shouldn't they be killed?"

"Is it comfortable to kill someone?" Gao Cheng had no way to answer, but said in a deep voice, "Murder is such a terrible thing, do you really have no fear at all? Ms. Yingzi, she certainly doesn't want you, the only sister, to bear it." kind of evil."

"Detective Kido... If only you were here five years ago..."

With warm tears streaming from the corners of Akechi Eri's eyes, she left the shrine accompanied by two police officers, leaving only Gaocheng and his party behind.

Gao Cheng took Xiao Ai by his hand, and silently looked at Akechi Huili's back.

Indeed, if he was there, he should be able to save Suzuka Sakurako.

But 5 years ago, even the original owner didn't even go to high school.

"Hmph," Uncle Mao Li stood beside him with a sulky face, and glanced at Gao Cheng, "You said it as if you had killed someone..."

Gao Cheng glanced back at Uncle Mao Li, but did not speak.

He had killed people in the Gintama world, but he hadn't done anything to ordinary people.

Compared with ordinary people, he understands the meaning of human life better.

Here in the world of Conan, except for the Gin people, no one makes him think he should kill. Asuka Shibazaki and Ema Anzai are a bit annoying, but it is not a fairy tale world after all. People in the real world are complex and changeable, and there are very few There are absolutely bad guys and there are no absolute good guys.

The same goes for Akechi Eri.

"Let's go," Gao Cheng exhaled, and pulled Xiao Ai up the steps, "Xuecun can't stay here anymore, it's better to leave quickly before the reporter hears the news.

"

In this case, "Introduction to Novel Creation" was selected, but he did not intend to change his career to become a novelist, and the harvest is better than nothing, so it can only be used as a souvenir.

"Damn it, it's like this again!" Uncle Mao Li followed behind a little angrily.

Why add another? He didn't know, it should be like this every time, and he didn't have a complete vacation, so he didn't want to meet Gao Cheng.

And every time Gao Cheng was there, "Sleeping Kogoro" would fail. I don't know if it was a horoscope offense. Except for playing mahjong, he never won.

Play majiang?

"Young man from Chenghu," said Uncle Mao Li in a better mood, "How about playing a few mahjong games after the statement is finished? I heard that Mihua has opened a new mahjong parlor..."

"I'm not going to fight."

...

After returning to Tokyo for a while, Gao Cheng started his ordinary detective life again, going out to work, staying at home, and hanging out with neighbors.

He didn't even want to play mahjong with Uncle Mao Li, especially when Xiaolan was around, no matter if it was playing mahjong or lottery, as long as it was a game of luck, he didn't want to meet this family.

Play mahjong again.

"Really? Uncle has been going to the lemon bar for the past few nights because he got a free drink coupon? Then?"

At Kido Detective Agency, Gao Chengcai received a call from Xiaolan when he returned to the office after work.

"Uncle was mistaken by gangsters last night and was attacked?"

"Well, when I went home at night, I was almost hit by a steel bar pushed down from a tall building on the construction site," Xiaolan worried, "Dad didn't seem to care at all, although I called the police, but... "

"I see, I will help him."

Gao Cheng hung up the phone and looked at the documents piled up on the desk.

I just sent the report to the client, and I really can't sit still at all, but the uncle's matter is indeed very serious, it has already involved murder, and he should go there if it is reasonable.

After talking to Xiao Ai, Gao Lili immediately put away his phone and went downstairs.

When we arrived at the Mori Detective Agency, Officer Takagi happened to be there, and it seemed that this accident had frightened Xiaolan a lot.

"We have checked the mobile phone that sent yesterday's text message," Takagi explained. "It is a mobile phone signed by an anonymous account. In addition, from last night to today, no one with the surname Kimura has had any traffic accidents or accidents. Involved in any criminal case..."

"So it's just someone playing a prank." Uncle Mao Li leaned back impatiently and looked at Xiao Lan on the sofa. "Not only did you call the police, you even called the kid from the city, you are too good at adding Trouble, Xiaolan, besides, the other party just mistook me for the one named Kimura..."

"But……"

"Mr. Maori," Takagi said solemnly, "If the gangsters don't realize that they have mistaken the person and find an opportunity to attack Mr. Maori, it will be dangerous. Xiaolan is also worried about this..."

Gao Cheng picked up a mobile phone that had been knocked into the ID bag and pressed it.

There is no information in it except a text message, not even a contact person. The text message is a threatening letter sent after the accident last night.

"I will never miss it next time, and I will definitely take your life..."

According to Xiaolan, when the uncle came back from the lemon bar last night, he took the coat of a customer named Kimura by mistake, and he has not been able to find that Kimura until now.

But it's too strange, don't most people have a contact on their mobile phones?

It even said... At present, this mobile phone does not have many traces of use at all, with very little wear and tear, and almost no scratches can be found.

As for the coat, there was nothing but the word "Kimura" embroidered on the collar, and the collar and cuffs didn't look like they usually wear.

New clothes?

Gao Cheng took the coat and smelled it.

The faint smell of alcohol should be related to Uncle Maori's passing through yesterday.

It's a bit strange, that person named Kimura...

"Officer Takagi!" Sato hurried into the office, "There is information about a project attack. A student happened to live near the scene yesterday. It is said that after the steel plate fell, he saw a man leave the scene quickly. Although he didn't see his face clearly, but There is a burn-like scar on the right elbow of the other party...

"In addition, no suspicious fingerprints were found at the scene of the crime, and there are no relevant clues..."

"Well," Uncle Mao Li shook his head and crossed his arms, "In this way, you can only find Mr. Kimura first, and then follow the clues to find the criminal..."

"Father," Xiaolan said anxiously, "how do you act like it's none of your business?"

The uncle said helplessly: "That's right, I'm not Mucun, anyway, just find that Mucun quickly."

...

\u0026nbon bar.

"That's how it happened," Uncle Mao Li led Gao Cheng into the bar, "The man named Kimura came here to drink while I was sleeping, and then took my coat away, but the store manager doesn't know where he lives... ..."

"That's right," the shop manager dressed as a sommelier wiped the wine glass at the bar, pointed to a bottle of wine on the wine rack behind and said, "Mr. Kimura is a new face here, and he has only been here a few times. It's also because of this bottle of wine that I know his surname is Kimura...Mr. Mori came to ask this morning, haven't you found it yet?"

Gao Cheng looked down at the wine bottle, and there was a small sign of "Kimura" hanging on the bottle, like some of the wine on the wine rack, it seemed that the guests stayed here.

"Ok?"

Gao Cheng glanced over the store manager's fingers and paused slightly.

"By the way, do you know when Kimura will come over?"

"I don't know about that," the store manager paused, "It seems that they don't come here on a regular basis, and they don't come here every day."

"Then contact us if you see him."

"I just said there are no clues here?" Uncle Mao Li walked out of the bar with his hands in his hands, and yawned boredly, "The police are already looking for it, what are we doing here?"

"Next, look around..."

Xiaolan ignored the uncle's complaints, and asked a laundry shop seriously.

"Mr. Kimura?" The owner of the laundry was just about to go out to deliver clothes, and looked at the strange combination of an old and small family in a daze.

"He's wearing a jacket of this size," Xiaolan pointed to the uncle on the other side who was playing with his mustache in the rearview mirror of the delivery motorcycle. "He should be about the same size as my dad. Does he have clothes stored here?"

The owner of the laundry shop frowned and looked through the registration book: "He should not be a guest here..."

Gao Cheng had contacted Police Officer Sato, and walked towards Xiaolan thinking about it, when he suddenly saw a truck leaving the road and crashing into Uncle Maoli on the side of the road.

"what?!"

The uncle who noticed the truck suddenly changed his expression, hurriedly avoided the collision, gritted his teeth and rushed towards Xiaolan and Conan at the door: "Dangerous!"

Gao Cheng's eyes tightened, and he pulled out the wooden knife from the air and blocked it in front of the truck.

The driver covered his face and couldn't see it, but his exposed eyes were full of murderous intent, and he didn't intend to slow down or brake at all.

The target is Uncle Mori...

Time seemed to freeze, Gao Cheng glanced at the uncle who was urgently trying to push Xiaolan and the two out of the truck's collision path, flipped the wooden knife in his hand and raised it high.

Basic starting swordsmanship, no extra movements, straight slashing and closing the sword with afterimages.

"Crack!"

"Bang!" It took only a moment for the truck to collide, and in the blink of an eye, the truck suddenly split into two from the middle, crashed out from both sides, half turned around and slid to the side of the road, and the other half followed He rushed into the laundry shop with inertia, but the force of the impact was greatly reduced, almost breaking the glass window outside.

"Are you okay?" Gao Cheng rescued the owner of the laundry shop who was almost scared to pee. When he turned around, the truck driver had disappeared, leaving only the messy scene.

The driver just now seemed familiar...

"Damn it," Uncle Mao Li stood up angrily, "Is it that gangster again? How fast he escaped!"

"It should be that person." Gao Cheng collected his thoughts and helped the manager of the laundry shop who was trembling to sit beside him.

Although he was paying enough attention and the store manager was not injured, he was still frightened. Fortunately, there was no one on the street today.

"Why did the truck split in half?"

Unable to catch up with the gangster, the uncle returned his attention to the scene, and couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the wreckage of the truck: "Shiroto, what happened just now?"

"I don't know," Gao Cheng turned his head, "It seems that I have separated."

"Separate yourself?"

"Let's not talk about this, let's contact Officer Sato and the others first. This is already the second attack."

Gao Cheng took out his mobile phone on his own.

He really has some sympathy for the uncle. Not to mention the murders he often encounters, now that he has become a target, it is not easy to survive to the end.
