Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 65: The Phantom of the Opera

"Jingle Bell!"

   In the early morning, Gao Cheng was awakened by a phone ring.

   "What's the matter?" Gao Cheng picked up the guest room phone by the bedside, heard Nanase's voice, rubbed his eyes and said, "Why are you calling at this time?"

   "It's not good, Joto, that weird man has appeared again!"

"what?"

   Gao Cheng put on his clothes in a hurry, just when Nanase came upstairs to look for him: "Where is the weirdo?"

"outside!"

   "Huh!" Behind the villa, under the wind and rain, Harumi Kiryu was hung from a tree by a steel wire, her body was already cold, and the thin steel wire creaked in the wind.

   Gao Cheng and everyone stood under the tree with umbrellas, looking at the slowly swaying corpse with a heavy expression.

   Kiryu Haru’s white shirt and pajamas were soaked in the rain and clung to the body, faintly you could see the upright **** and two bulges. The wet carcass was both seductive and shocking.

"How can this be...hasn't everyone closed the doors and windows?" Gao Sung glanced over, and Kiryu was wearing only a pair of underwear on his lower body, showing his white thighs, wearing one shoe on his feet, and the other falling under the tree. On the grass.

   "Did Kiryu-senpai committed suicide?" Nanase trembled at Kiryu's sad face.

"Fool," Xiaoqiao Xianjian sneered, "Such a high place, there is no place to step, can I hang myself? Obviously, she was forcibly taken out by the murderer and hanged on the tree outside her room. ..."

   "It's not that simple," Gao Cheng thought thought. "Senior Kiryu was indeed strangled to death by the murderer, but where did the murderer get to her room and how did he bring her here? It's so strange..."

   "What's weird about this, the door is locked inside, of course from the window..."

   Ken Kobashi looked back at the open window of Kiryu's room, and the line of footprints extending out of the mud under the window, and his words suddenly stagnated.

"Right?" Gao Cheng continued squatting on the muddy ground. "Whether you enter the room from the window or walk from the room to the tree where Kiryu-senpai-senpai was hanged, you must pass through this muddy ground, but there is only one row on the ground. footprint."

   Ken Kobashi narrowed his eyes to look at Gao Cheng, and frowned, "In this case, although I don't know how the murderer entered the room, he always carried Kiryu out of the window..."

"The problem is," Gao Cheng picked up the shoes under Kiryu's corpse, and said in thought, "These are the shoes worn by Kiryu-senpai, and there are mud on the shoes... it exactly matches the footprints. This row of footprints belonged to Kiryu-senpai... "

"what?"

   "Could it be that she was hanged by someone after she walked under the tree?" Everyone shuddered, "No way?"

   Ken Kobashi saw a trace of cold sweat on his arrogant face, and looked closely at Gao Cheng who was thinking about the muddy ground: This, this guy... who is it?

   "Could there be real ghosts, right?" Gao Cheng said suddenly and uncertainly.

   Seeing a stagger, Xiaoqiaoxian wiped off his cold sweat and shouted coldly, "How can there be ghosts?! The murderer must have done some tricks!"

  , he turned to Nanase and asked, "Did you see the weird man wearing a mask?"

   "Well," Nanase said with a lingering fear, "dressed like the weird man in the opera house, and knocked on my window with a strange smile..."

   "Opera weirdo?" Ken Kobashi touched his chin and asked intently, "Where do you put the props?"

   "It's backstage in the theater."

At    Theater, Kenken Kobashi took the lead and hurried to the backstage, only to see the props that had been turned over.

   "The masks and costumes of the weird opera house are gone!" Fu Shi Guangyan said in surprise.

   "Sure enough," Ken Kobashi glanced at it, and then asked out in doubt, "But why does that song moon pretend to be the weird man in the opera house?"

"Like in a drama," Yuji Yumori said in horror, "Hidaka and Kiryu...It's almost exactly the same as the plot of the drama we played. This is how the weird of the opera house killed people. The first incident was that the cable fell and crushed to death. Actress, the second is to strangle the person who saw him, and the third is to let the man who catches up fall into the water and die..."

   "The crossbow gun I brought as a prop is gone! In the fourth case in the script, someone was shot to death..."

   Fu Shi Guangyan trembled: "It's Rika, that song moon is indeed the incarnation of Rika! It must be the weird man imitating the opera house who wants to kill us all!"

   "Is the murderer acting according to the script?"

   Seeing the silence for a while, Ken Kobashi suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Humph, it's interesting, let me catch this serial murderer!"

   Gao Cheng silently looked at the excited teenager. It is normal for some detectives to be excited about the contest with criminals, and even the more complicated the case, the more excited, but is this guy really good to stand up like this?

   Without the protagonist's halo, maybe the next one will die...

   Gao Cheng left the theater, thinking and walking outside the Kiryu Harumi room on the first floor. The door had been opened by a maid from the outside, but the inside was locked with an anti-theft chain.

  As a detective, he is also excited about solving cases. The more difficult the case, the higher the sense of accomplishment, but he is not just a detective for this sense of accomplishment.

   Of course, it’s not just for money. After experiencing more events, more people still don’t want to see tragedies happen.

   "Boom!" The rain outside the villa was a little lighter, but the dull thunder still sounded from time to time.

   Gao Cheng took a map of the villa he was coming to from the maid, and it marked everyone's rooms. Nanase's room was next to Kiryu. The prisoner attracted attention after killing someone on purpose.

   But how did the prisoner kill Kiryu?

   Everything on the scene looks like Kiryu himself walked from the window to the tree and was hanged...

   Putting away the drawings, Gao Cheng walked to the room of Hidaka Ori-e on the second floor.

   This room is directly above Kiryu's room. If you use a rope, you can enter Kiryu's room.

   "Huh?" Gao Cheng looked downstairs, and suddenly noticed that there was a clear mark on the window edge, which was sunken deep, as if it had been pulled out with force.

   In addition, the foot of the bed also left traces of friction, and it seems that the murderer indeed went downstairs with the help of a wire.

   "Kioto," Nanase asked excitedly, "Do you know what?"

   "If there is nothing wrong, the song moon is hidden in this villa," Gao Cheng murmured, "Anyway, let's look for it in the villa first."

"Hidden place?" At the villa restaurant, the boss of Kurosawa asked the maid to pour a glass of milk. After being questioned by Gao Cheng, he muttered, "There shouldn't be any convenient place to hide in this villa. Besides, when I checked the doors and windows yesterday, he said. Have you checked everywhere?"

   Nanase nodded: "Yes, Aichi, I also checked."

   Gao Cheng continued to ask, "But maybe there are any other secret rooms, right?"

"I don't know about this..." The boss of Kurosawa stood up and looked at the cliff outside the window with sorrow. "I once acted in a drama. The first role was the weird man in the opera house. That's why I named this hotel a song. In the theater pavilion, I didn’t expect the events of the weird people in the opera house to be staged here. It’s really surprising..."

   "The boss played an opera weirdo?" Gao Cheng and Nanase said in surprise.

"Yes, but it's been many years ago~www.NovelMTL.com~ Boss Kurosawa seems to be back on the stage, facing a doll at the table that looks like a stage theater actor and said solemnly: "I am an opera house. The weirdo is even uglier than you think, right? Such an extremely ugly monster, although burned by the fire of hell, still yearns for heaven! "

   Gao Cheng looked awkwardly at the selfless Boss Kurosawa, his affectionate look, as if he really regarded the doll as the heroine in the drama. It was indeed very powerful, but the scene looked a little strange.

   "I'm sorry, I lost my mind." The boss of Kurosawa recovered, noticed Gao Cheng's weird eyes, and the old face blushed and left the restaurant.

   "Hey, Nanase, did he say the wrong line just now?" Gao Cheng turned to Nanase, "Isn't he'burned by the flames of hell'?"

   "Reading the flames of **** is a recent thing, and it seems to be the fire of karma before," Nanase said not sure, "probably..."

   "Really? I think karma is better."

   "Leave this alone," Nanase said eagerly, "what should I do now? If you can't find Geyue, maybe someone will be killed!"

   "This, in fact, I still don't understand why the murderer killed Hidaka and Kiryu..."

   Gao Cheng asked again: "Nanase, is the matter of Rika disfigurement related to them?"

   "Rika-senpai didn't say it."

   "I know a little bit." Ogata-sensei appeared at the door rather charmingly in his pajamas.

   "Teacher?" Nanase's face turned red again, worried, "Teacher, why are you here? It's too dangerous!"

   "Just can't sleep."

   Ogata-sensei smiled, and looked at Gao Cheng with a few meaningful glances: "If you want to know the motive of the murder, Yudai might know something."
