Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 67: Puzzle solving

   "Kito? It's the one on TV the other day..."

   Kenken Kobashi looked at Gao Cheng incredulously: "But isn't your name Jin Tianyi?"

   "Uh, let's talk about it later," Gao Cheng nodded awkwardly, and turned to the female teacher in surprise, "Ogata-sensei, why are you here? Where's Takashima?"

   Ogata looked back, "Nanase takes care of..."

   "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"not good!"

   Gao Cheng's expression tightened, and he hurriedly took the lead and rushed out of the room. Only after crossing the corridor, he saw a blazing flame igniting in front of the Takashima room, and a black shadow ran to the other side through the flame barrier.

   "Damn it! Is it Geyue?" Seeing that Gu couldn't save someone, Xiaoqiaoxian ran after him.

   "Hurry up and put out the fire!"

Gao Cheng stopped and looked at the room at Takashima. The window was broken from the outside, and the debris was scattered all over the place. Fortunately, neither Takashima nor Nanase were injured. He nodded. After leaving the others to put out the fire, he followed. In one fell swoop, chasing the shadow across the flames.

   "What happened..." Yuji Yumori suddenly ran out from the corner of the corridor and collided head-on with Kenken Obashi, and both fell at the same time.

"it hurts!"

   "What's the matter?" Other people followed Yusen from the other side, looked at the chaotic scene in surprise, and hurriedly followed to put out the fire.

   "Have you not seen anyone running past?" Xiaoqiao Xian stood up painfully and asked several people.

   The corridor of the villa is a back shape. It didn’t take long for him to chase the corner of the corridor, but Geyue disappeared out of thin air...

   "No," Yousen didn't know why, and pointed to the other side of the corridor, "I rushed over when I heard the sound."

   "Did you escape by jumping out of the window?"

   Gao Cheng's line of sight followed the muddy footprints on the ground to an open window on the corner.

   "It shouldn't be possible, this is a cliff outside..." Kenken Kobashi also noticed the footprints on the ground extending to the window. He hesitated and poked his head out, and said in surprise, "There seems to be something under the cliff!"

   "Is there a flashlight?" Gao Cheng turned to the maid and asked.

   "I did," Dr. Yuki came down from the second floor with a flashlight, rubbing his forehead complainingly, "It was noisy since just now, I didn't sleep well all night..."

   "Doctor Yuki!"

   Gao Cheng took the flashlight and shone it under the cliff. Under the steep cliff, the waves smashed against the rocks. Through the light, you could faintly see the opera house weird masks and black cloaks floating on the sea.

   "Did that guy fall into the sea?" Xiaoqiao Xian looked at the sea in a deep voice.

   "If you fall from here, it won't be saved..."

   "I committed suicide!"

  Xiandaofeng several people put out the fire, and rushed to the corner of the corridor with everyone excitedly: "Because there are people on both sides of the corridor, he must have committed suicide! It's the same as the ending of the opera house weird in the script!"

   "Great, so that we are all saved!"

   "Suicide?" Gao Cheng looked out the window carefully.

   There is no way to hide in this kind of place, and it is very difficult to climb the second floor...

"I think it might be that he was eager to escape through the window, but didn't know it was a cliff outside," Xiaoqiao Xianjian looked at Gao Sung, and said with a sigh of relief, "Although it is very unexpected, the murder is over. Now, everyone will go to rest..."

"it's not finished yet."

   Gao Cheng returned the flashlight to Doctor Yuki, closed the window and said, "It doesn't matter whether the murderer is dead or not, there is still the stolen crossbow gun that has not been found."

   "Kito Detective, do you think the murderer is still alive?" Kenken Kobashi frowned. He really couldn't think of the possibility of the murderer alive. The reality was before his eyes, even a detective couldn't deny it.

   "Everyone, be careful, Ogata-sensei, Takashima-senpai still have to trouble you to take care of it."

   Gao Cheng reminded him to go to see the location of a case again alone.

   "Just now you talked about Detective Jiroto," Sendao Feng looked at Ken Kobashi strangely and said, "His name is Kindaichi?"

   "This..." Nanase explained bitterly, "Jioto said he wanted to travel like an ordinary student, so he used the name Kanadaichi..."

   "Wait a minute! Joto... he wouldn't be the famous Joto Takasei? How is this possible?"

   A few people from Xiandao watched Gao Cheng leave behind with amusement, but after saying this, they didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but they did feel an unusual detective temperament.

   "Really? I didn't even notice it before..."

  ……

  Beijing Opera House.

Gao Cheng returned to the stage with his chin, and as the one-minute mode was turned on, his thoughts began to move at extreme speed. All the interference of thunder and rain was eliminated. Only a fictional completed three-dimensional view of the villa was left in front of him, and countless detailed clues continued to emerge around the villa. come out.

   The opera house weird mask under the cliff, the footprints extending to the window...

The scene of Kenken Kobashi chasing is reappeared in front of Gao Sung's eyes, as if going back in time. All the details and clues on the scene are arranged in combination, from the disappearance of the strange person at the corner to the collision of Kenken Kobashi and Yuji Arimori, and the appearance of Sondo Toyoshi. ...

   If the weirdo did not commit suicide by jumping off the cliff, there is only one possibility... Yuji Mori is the weirdo!

   Yumori threw the weird mask, cloak, and muddy shoes out of the window while running to the corner, and then rushed out and collided with Kobashi Kenjian.

  Because of the corridor, no one can see the murderer. At first glance, it seems that Yusen also ran over from the opposite corridor just like everyone else.

   Gao Cheng's fingers flicked quickly and reasoned and deduced on the condition that Yusen was the murderer, until the death of Kiryu can be perfectly matched, only Hidaka's death is still suspicious.

   When Hidaka Ori-e screamed, except for he was in the Hidaka room on the second floor at the time, everyone else stayed in the restaurant on the first floor, all with an alibi...

   A clue suddenly flashed through Gao Cheng's mind.

   He has never understood why the murderer specially put down the stage curtain, but at the moment he caught a clue in the one-minute mode.

   "Sure enough, to create an alibi."

   his eyes swept across the stage, and the images in front of him were quickly filtered, and finally only the details about Yuji Arimori were left.

   At the beginning, Yumori seemed to know that the rehearsal would not last for a few days. The expression on Rika was also very strange. The possibility of implementing alibi in the theater is also the greatest...

   "It must be that Mori is right." Gao Cheng looked affirmative.

   He has roughly understood the puzzle on the theater stage. The problem is that there is no evidence, and there is no strong evidence that Yousen is the murderer.

   Yousen's hands and feet are very clean. Even the props of the opera house weirdos are disguised as cliff jumps and processed in advance. The only thing that may be left is the missing crossbow gun...

   If Yurori is the murderer, it is impossible to let go of Yudai Takashima. Now that missing crossbow gun is the key. Yusen will definitely kill Yudai Takashima. The question is how to kill.

   The so-called "Geyue" suicide by jumping off a cliff is not really forced to desperate. Yusen should be designed like that from the beginning to make "Geyue" commit suicide, otherwise it would be impossible to respond in such a short time.

   However, since "Geyue" was killed, Yumori apparently prepared another method for Takashima Yudai. Combined with the missing crossbow gun, it may be some kind of trigger-type automatic archery mechanism.

   If you want to shoot Yudai Takashima accurately, the design method and location of this mechanism should be...

   "Huh!" One minute ended suddenly, Gao Cheng's mind returned to normal, and he felt like he fell from heaven to **** in an instant.

   The time is still too short, not enough.

   Gao Cheng smiled bitterly, and returned to the case.

  Although the problem of the final evidence has not been resolved, at least there is an idea. The urgent task is to quickly find the crossbow gun that was used as a mechanism.

   Villa, because of the tossing of the whole night, the very tired people returned to their rooms, only the high school student detective was still wandering in the corridor.

   Gao Cheng finds Nanase alone and learns that Yumori has also returned to the room to rest.

   "Kyoto," Nanase said bewildered, "Is it really possible for Geyue to be alive? There is no way to escape in that situation."

   Gao Cheng smiled and looked at Nanase, who was grimace. "Sometimes it's simpler than you think. Okay, can I trouble you to find an excuse to stay with Senpai Yumori?"

"Eh?"

"please."

After    separated from Nanase, Gao Cheng looked for a place near the Eagle Island room where the crossbow gun might be hidden, but nothing was gained.

   There are not many places that meet the requirements of the agency at all~www.NovelMTL.com~ The sky is bright, and the wind and rain outside the villa gradually ceased, and it looks like a sunny day.

   When Gao Cheng walked into the restaurant, Uncle Tianshu greeted us with a look of excitement: "We have already contacted, and a boat will pick us up at ten o'clock."

   "Are there any typhoons?"

   Gao Cheng stayed up all night, rubbed his eyes tiredly, and yawned and sat at the table: "When to eat? I can't bear it anymore."

"Breakfast will be ready soon, drink a glass of milk first..." Uncle Tianshu turned around and took a cup, saw the sign with the words "Jin Tian Yi Yi" in front of him, slapped his forehead and said, "I didn't expect you to be that famous detective city before. Hu Gaocheng, wait a moment, I'll change your brand..."

   "This is unnecessary, it's just a name."

   Gao Cheng was embarrassed for a while, but the next moment his line of sight suddenly stopped at the position of Takashima Yudai: "Uncle, is the location of the restaurant always fixed?"

"what's happenin?"

   "It turns out that this is the case, the restaurant is the most suitable place."

   Gao Cheng's drowsiness disappeared, and he looked around tightly, and finally his gaze fell on the doll on the counter next to the table.

   carefully lifted up the doll's wide skirt, a fixed-angle crossbow gun was presented in front of Gao Cheng, and the sharp arrow on the tight crossbow string was facing the position of Yudai Takashima.

   "This, this is?!" Uncle Tianshu looked at the crossbow gun in horror, "Why are you here?"

   "It is a mechanism designed by the prisoner."

Gao Cheng pulled out the sharp arrow and looked at the clock tied to the crossbow gun. The short hand of the clock was fixed with a blade. When it was seven o'clock, which was breakfast time, when the mechanism was triggered, the arrow would shoot the Eagle Island on the seat. Friends generation.

   In this way, all the puzzles are solved...
