Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 682 Fenglin Volcano, Centipede in a Pool of Blood

Although he has drawn a Japanese history card once, Gao Cheng’s knowledge of Japanese history is average. He doesn’t even understand the history of China, and only enthusiasts will pay attention to Japanese history.

Excluding the military and political aspects that Japan dislikes, the Japanese culture naturally makes the Chinese feel friendly. A lot of Chinese culture has been handed down in Japan. Even Japanese comes from cursive script, although many aspects of localization have developed a lot.

The same is true for Huaguo in the world of Conan. In the long history, the cultural isolation has been severe, and martial arts has evolved into a performance event. On the Japanese side, at least kendo is still a competitive sport, and you can feel the charm of martial arts on the basis of ensuring safety.

In terms of cultural inheritance, Japan has done a good job. Although sometimes rigid and conservative traditional concepts have caused many social problems, not to mention class solidification, workplace problems have caused suicide cases, but there has been no sign of solving them.

It is not without reason that the crime rate in the world of Conan is so high. Of course, it is also the soil for the survival of detectives like them.

Because of the serious shortage of forensic doctors and the high rate of wrongful convictions, the police often invite detectives to participate in cases in this context. Even if many cases can be solved with forensic doctors, it is much easier to find detectives than forensic doctors.

There are at least tens of thousands of registered detectives in the world of Conan, and there are even more detective enthusiasts like Kudo and Hattori, but the reliability cannot be guaranteed. Generally speaking, large police stations will choose famous detectives. Gao Cheng was hired as a special consultant.

Speaking of which, Uncle Maori is also very famous, but it may be because of his familiar relationship. The Metropolitan Police Department did not specially hire him, and even rarely asked him for help. Most of the time, the uncle bumped into him himself.

In Japanese history, especially when it comes to the Warring States period, the historical atmosphere in Tokyo is not particularly strong. The most vivid atmosphere is in the Kansai area, and the kendo masters that Gao Cheng knows are basically concentrated there, such as the ancient masters he met in Kyoto. The founder of Yijing, a school of swordsmanship.

However, Gao Cheng did not go to Kansai this time, but Nagano County, not far from Tokyo. Usually, the ancient culture and customs are preserved in the countryside, and there are even many families that have continued from the Warring States Period.

In the Hutian family, Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai were entertained by the head of the family, Hutian Naobu, in a big house, and they also observed the head of the family while learning about the situation.

Naobu Torada, who is over 60 years old, looks like he is in his prime, with a Mediterranean hairstyle and two sideburns, and his huddled eyebrows look quite powerful. Although he speaks politely, it can't conceal the strength in his bones.

"This is a photo of my son after he was killed."

Naoshin Torata handed Gao Cheng a photo of the scene, showing a young man lying on a stone, his neck deformed, and a puddle of blood on the back of his head, which looked quite scary.

"The whole body was hit hard, the head was broken, and he died due to excessive blood loss..."

"Did you fall to your death?"

"That's right," Toranobu Naobu's face was serious, "My only son Yoshiro who can inherit the family business was killed so cruelly... It must be the hands of the ruthless devil who has a grudge against our Torada family!!"

"Someone pushed him off the height?"

"It was a tornado. My son was swept into the air by the tornado, and then fell to the rock and died. Several people saw him being swept up by the wind, but it was a day later that my son's body was found..."

Torita Naobu's expression became fierce.

"Of course the police thought it was an accidental death, but if you take a closer look at the photos, you can see that there is a pool of blood next to my son's ear. It should not be there..." New 81 Chinese website update last Quick mobile terminal: https:/

"Centipede?" Gao Cheng had already noticed the dead centipede in the pool of blood.

Hutian Zhixin snorted coldly: "This dead centipede was trampled to death, and it was placed there before the blood coagulated..."

"That is to say," the door was opened, and a woman in a kimono came over, "someone saw my son was so hungry and didn't help to call for help, but put such a terrible insect in a pool of blood, see I can't help it! It's almost like saying my son deserves it!"

Gao Cheng looked up at the woman with a thin neck and a sharp chin: "Could it be just a coincidence? Maybe this centipede that was trampled to death was also swept there by accident..."

"Impossible!" Toranobu Naobu firmly said, "It was Fanji who found the body. He said that there were no centipedes in that area. Someone must have put it there on purpose..."

"Fanci?"

"It's Yoshiro's younger brother, that fool who indulges in treasure digging every day, heh, I don't think of him as my son anymore!"

Hearing "digging treasure", Gao Cheng's eyelids moved slightly, but he didn't ask any more questions, he just looked at the photos again.

The facts are already obvious, there is no mystery of death at all, it is completely an accident caused by a tornado, just because there is an extra dead centipede...

I don't quite understand the intention of letting the centipede die, just to stimulate Torita Naobu?

"So," Gao Cheng continued to ask, "what do you think? It's the person who has a grudge against the Hutian family?"

"It must be the Longwei family," the woman said with a gloomy expression, "The Longwei family, who has been entangled with our Hutian family for many years, must be a member of their family who refused to save my son!"

"Is there any special significance to the centipede?"

"Who knows?" Hutian Zhixin snorted, "However, not long ago, their son was also condemned by God and died. He really deserved it, and even arbitrarily believed that it was our Hutian family who did it, so in order to fight against them I just invited you over..."

"I heard that in order to solve the mystery of the death of their son, which the police have tried so hard to solve, they also invited a very powerful detective..."

"Huh?" Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai looked at each other.

Another mystery of his son's death...

"Is it because of the tornado over there too?"

"That's not true. I heard that he was beaten to death." Naobu Hutian sat upright and leaned forward slightly, and looked closely at Gao Cheng with his eyebrows pressed down. Not less."

"Ok……"

Gao Cheng sighed secretly, as if he was involved in troublesome things.

"Can I meet Mr. Fanji?"

"That unworthy son happened to be at home, hmph," Toranobu Naobu said angrily, "If you don't work hard, you'll be like other people's treasure hunting all day long!"

"Okay, sir," Madam persuaded, "Now this family can only rely on Fanci."

The woman was Naobu Toranobu's wife Darei Torada, and for some reason she always had strange eyes.

Gao Cheng looked away from the woman, stood up and left with Xiao Ai, followed to find the inner room, and only after seeing the second son Torata Shigeji did he realize how Toranobu Naobu hated iron but not steel.

The slovenly and decadent fat man just looked like he had nothing to offer. Hutian Naoshin, who had just calmed down, burst into anger again: "What does he look like all day?! Sooner or later, he will be mad at you!!"

The woman beside him also said: "You just have to fight, Fanci..."

"understood."

Hutian Shigeji bowed his head in response, with a helpless look on his face. After Hutian and his wife left, he took a long breath and asked Gao Cheng, "Are you the detective that Dad hired?"

"Yes," Gao Cheng nodded, "Mr. Hutian said that the person who released the centipede might be the Longwei family..."

"At first, I also thought that the Tatsuo family who hated the Torada family did it on purpose," Shigeji Torita frowned, "But I didn't expect that Koji of their family died in a similar way..."

"Similar way of death?"

"That's right, Kang Si was tied up and buried in the soil, his exposed head was beaten to the point of bleeding, as if he had been beaten to death, and a dead centipede was placed before the blood dried up..."

Hutian Shigeji said with a headache: "Now they are suspicious of our family, thinking that we blamed Ryuo's family for his brother's death, so they killed Koji like this..."

"Speaking of which," Gao Cheng interrupted, "what kind of enmity is there between the Hutian family and the Longwei family?"

"Well," Shigeji Torata was stunned for a moment, "I don't know what to say, but there is an ancestral motto of 'hate the Torada family', and no one knows the specific reason. In fact, our generation has no special Got it, everyone had a great time..."
