Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

The Tono house is different from the shopping street. It is a real residential area. The quiet environment is very popular. Each single-family house is like a villa. Of course, the price is not cheap, and the monthly rent is a fortune. small expenses.

Gao Cheng followed the crowd into the living room of the house.

The house is fairly tidy, but unexpectedly there is an incense altar inside, and there is a faint scent.

"This is my husband," Mrs. Tono quickly explained when she saw Gao Cheng stopped in front of the photo of the incense altar, "He died of illness a year ago. Although he was hospitalized for half a year and tried hard to treat him, there was still nothing he could do..."

"Feel sorry."

Gao Cheng looked away and looked at other places in the house.

"Then senior sister, what trouble did you encounter?"

"Yes," Mrs. Tono poured tea for everyone, "It seems that someone broke into the empty door when we were not at home. Around one o'clock, I took Yuta out together. It took about two hours. I seemed to forget to lock the window and door. ,result……"

Gao Cheng teased the child who was playing with toys next to him, and turned his head to see Mrs. Tohno taking out an envelope from the drawer.

"The rent of this house is all paid to the landlord in cash," Mrs. Tono said, taking out the banknotes in the envelope, "I went to the bank this morning to collect the money and put it in this envelope. Put it back without moving, there are brand new creases on the banknote..."

"Is this the only one?" Gao Cheng stood up and asked, "We saw the police coming just now."

"Also," Mrs. Tono picked up the notebook in front of the incense altar, "It seems that this diary has been read by someone, and someone has lit incense here to worship..."

Conan asked, "Is the incense still burning when you come back? How much is left?"

"Well, about half of it..."

"Then this incense should have been lit about 15 minutes before you came back, because one incense can burn for about 30 minutes."

"Hmph," Sonoko frowned and looked at Conan who interrupted, "This kid knows some strange things."

"But what's going on here?" Xiaolan asked confusedly, "If someone really came here, what exactly will they do?"

"Could it be a stalker?" Yuanzi wondered, "He still reads someone's diary, maybe he is still watching with a telescope!"

"cough."

Gao Cheng turned around and faced the happy-looking Tohno family portrait.

The male master of the family passed away at such a young age, it can be seen that this family is not easy...

"But," Mrs. Tono shook her head slightly, "except for the diary, nothing else has been read, and everything in the other rooms is fine... I feel a little nervous, so I asked the police to come over to take a look, but he Said that since nothing was stolen, the police have no way to search..."

"Sister," Gao Cheng picked up the diary, "may I have a look?"

"Hey, Kido," Sonoko hastily pulled Gao Cheng back, "How can you read someone's diary casually?"

"But the behavior of the prisoner is too strange. If you don't know what he saw, it's hard to infer."

Mrs. Tono bit her finger: "Well, it's okay. I didn't write anything special. Working and raising children every day are like burning a candle at both ends. It's such a common thing."

Xiaolan looked at Mrs. Tono with some sentimentality: "Senior Yuriko, you are working so hard, maintaining this family by yourself..."

"Actually," Mrs. Tohno sighed softly, "I also thought about committing suicide, but because of Yuta's presence, and thinking of my husband trying to live hard in the end, I stopped thinking about suicide..."

Yuanzi wiped the corners of his eyes and choked up: "So there are such things. The thief must have read the diary and was moved so he didn't steal anything."

"Please..." Gao Cheng helplessly glanced at them, then quickly flipped through the diary.

As Mrs. Tohno said, the diary is full of trivial records of life, as well as words of encouragement and thoughts for her deceased husband.

People who break into empty doors don't really steal things because they are moved,

Did you put the money back?

Gao Cheng looks suspiciously at the sensible Yuanzi and Xiaolan.

Is there such a thief? Not only did he not steal anything, but he also specially put incense on it...

Unless there is any special relationship with the Tono family, I will read Mrs. Tono's diary... It is very likely that I know Mrs. Tono.

Turning to the end of the diary, I wrote that I encountered very distressing things.

About ten days ago, I had a slight car accident with a gentleman who was riding a bicycle. Later, the man suddenly came up and said that he could not move his neck, and asked to date him in lieu of medical expenses. Because he was a very bad man, he was worried that his child would be hurt. Mrs. Tono has been afraid to consult with anyone.

Because the opponent is pressing so hard, I am very troubled...

"Senior sister," Gao Cheng's face moved slightly, "did that man look for you today in the car accident ten days ago?"

Mrs. Tono lowered her head: "No, he didn't come back until evening from a business trip, so I want to say that it wasn't him who broke into the house today, so I didn't tell the police..."

Gao Cheng paused: "If you don't care about this kind of thing, it will only make the other party gain an inch. I will help the senior sister to deal with it."

"What to deal with?" Conan stood on tiptoe, wanting to read the diary as well.

"I see!" Yuanzi on the other side suddenly said excitedly, "The reason why that guy didn't steal anything, he just lit incense sticks and worshiped before leaving. This special person may be the one who had a crush on senior sister in high school!"

"Crush?"

"That's right, that's why I read the diary of my sweetheart specially. Maybe I wrote a love letter to my senior before!" Sonoko looked at Mrs. Tono confidently, "How is it, senior?"

Mrs. Tono was stunned: "I received the love letter once. I have never spoken to that person. I don't even know his face or name. I haven't been in the same class with him from the first grade to the third grade. But he seems to have always liked me, so he wrote a love letter to me in January of the third year of high school..."

"Three years of unrequited love?" Yuanzi rubbed his chin and asked curiously, "And then, senior sister, what is written in the letter?"

"The letter said that he wanted to ask me to meet in front of the fountain in Mihua Park..."

"Huh? Isn't this just like Xiaolan?"

"Did the senior sister attend the appointment?"

Sonoko and Xiaolan stared closely at Mrs. Tono.

"Although I was a bit hesitant, I went anyway, and then I confessed that I was grateful for his kindness, but I only had the exam on my mind, so he went back silently."

"May I know who he is?" Gao Cheng put down his diary and asked.

"There should be in the graduation photo album..."

Mrs. Tono looked at Conan who had taken away the diary hesitantly, and went to the drawer of the cabinet to find a photo album of Didan High School.

"Later, I specifically looked for... yes, Nagai-san."

"Shuhei Nagai?"

Gao Cheng looked at the photo album along the way, and the young man in the knitting hat he met outside Didan High School's Kendo Club appeared in his mind, with thick eyebrows, but in the photo album he was younger and didn't wear a hat.

While Mrs. Tono was discussing with Sonoko about the events in high school, Gao Cheng thoughtfully walked to the glass door that had been broken into.

The room can just be seen from the road outside, the possibility of breaking into the empty door is indeed very high, and it is also very likely that Nagai Shuhei, who put the stolen money back because he recognized his crush in high school...

After all, it wasn't a big case. Although the result of the reasoning was ordinary, judging from the clues, it was the case.

"Yuanzi," Gao Cheng said to the women in the discussion, "I'll go out and see if there's anything I'm contacting."

"I'll go as well."

Conan grinned guiltyly, put down the diary, and hurriedly chased after Gao Cheng under Xiaolan's blank stares.

Yuanzi blinked: "What happened to the two of them?"

"have no idea……"

"It's suspicious."

...

At dusk, in the alley behind Longshen Real Estate, an obese man held a steel pipe and walked towards Nagai Shuhei who fell to the ground in pain. Although he was dressed as a president, he looked like a gangster.

Kicking away the bamboo knife that fell aside in disgust, the man looked down at Nagai Shuhei with a condescending sneer: "What do you want? Are you that woman's man?"

"No," Shuhei Nagai sweated profusely from the pain, struggling to stand up, "No...you are not allowed to approach her again! You are not allowed to hurt children!"

"Really? Then hold on for a while, it will die so soon, it's not fun at all!"

The man kicked Shuhei Nagai hard again, and swung the steel pipe high.

"Sure enough, Mr. Yongjing." Gao Cheng and Conan appeared at the entrance of the alley, his shadow was stretched by the setting sun, and he immediately attracted the man's attention.

"Hey," the man frowned, "what are you guys doing? Why are there still brats?"

"I just want to come to Mr. Nagai," Gao Cheng stepped forward and picked up the bamboo knife on the ground, "Violence can't solve the problem, but at least Mr. Nagai has courage."

Shuhei Nagai opened his slightly swollen eyes: "You are the one from Tedan High School..."

"A graduate like you."
