Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

At 10:30 in the evening, it was finally time for dinner, and Gao Cheng finally had the opportunity to add sugar. This was the happiest time. Even though he rarely used the One Minute Detective Mode, the habit of adding sugar continued.

Xiao Ai quietly kicked Gao Cheng, who was eating sweets, under the dining table: "Don't go too far..."

"yes."

Gao Cheng gulps down the sweet soup.

I'm not used to eating Russian dinner, and I can eat a few dishes comfortably, but I can't ask for too much when I go out.

"It's already 11 o'clock..." Xiao Ai sat upright and looked at the time.

Dessert time passed quickly, it was more like supper than dinner, Xiao Ai barely ate, just tasted a few sips, drank some soup, didn’t even touch the sweets, they all fell into Gao Cheng’s mouth .

"Yes," Gao Cheng hiccupped, looked at the empty seat opposite and said, "That Mr. Shenming hasn't come to the restaurant..."

"It's said to be eating in the room," Kouji Takata laughed, "but he must have fallen asleep after being drunk!"

"He's missed several quintet regular meetings because of that appearance, and he's actually turned into a quartet recently..."

Inukai Takashi and the others discussed, and the plump Umezono Kaoru seemed to be very displeased with Kami Tadashi: "It's because of that appearance that his wife wanted a divorce when she was fed up."

"Haha, Teacher Meiyuan, if Teacher Shenming hears about it, he will write a column about us again, right?"

"He dares!" Mei Yuanxun patted the table and said, "I've had enough too long ago, and even said that my award-winning work was plagiarized!"

"Forget it, forget it, Miss Meiyuan," Youyue Laimeng persuaded with a smile, "You have never had a new work, so you are called that. Novelists rely on their works to speak, don't they?"

Mei Yuanxun gritted his teeth, and sat back, but pointed the gun at the masked man next to You Yue Laimeng, who looked calm and calm.

"Hey, Miss Youyue, this Mr. Magician named Rosyth, why is he wearing a mask while eating? It's disgusting..."

"This mask..." The masked man chuckled while holding the goblet, "Now it's the same as my face..."

The atmosphere at the scene fell silent. Except for You Yue Lai Meng who seemed to have a plan in mind, the other candidates all had different expressions.

Gao Cheng also drank his tea silently.

As an invited guest, it's better to keep a low profile and don't meddle in unnecessary matters.

The housekeeper, Tashiro, helped to refill the tea, and suddenly saw the maid, Soko Tonge, pushing the dining cart back, frowning, and the dinner plate was still on the cart. .

"What's wrong? Tong Jiang, did Teacher Shenming not eat?"

"Well," Tongjiang Xiangzi said distressedly, "I called him and no one responded. If Teacher Shenming fell asleep, he would lose his temper when he was woken up, so..."

Tongjiang Xiangzi lowered his head.

The bearded male god Zhongzhi had already molested her once when he was drunk, and everyone saw it and sneered at the god who looked like a master.

This kind of person seems to be easily hated by others.

"Sleep?" Gao Cheng frowned, "Will he really sleep at this time?"

"What's so strange," Baotian Koji said disapprovingly, "That guy drank a lot of wine before..."

Gao Cheng ignored Takarada Kouji,

Standing up and leaving the table, he said, "To be on the safe side, I'd better go and see him first, Housekeeper Tashiro, please take the key."

"Okay, okay..."

The butler left in a hurry, and Kaoru Meiyuan's expression changed: "Hey, Detective Kido, are you a little too sensitive, can something happen to that guy?"

"maybe……"

Gao Cheng thought a lot, including various signs of coming to the Lucia Pavilion.

It would be fine if he just made a fuss, but once something happens, it is very likely to cause a series of incidents and add a lot of trouble for nothing.

Shenming Tadashi's room was above the dining room. Gao Cheng followed the maid Tong Jiang Xiangzi to the door. Before the housekeeper brought the key, he found that the door was unlocked, and there was a faint smell of blood.

Gao Cheng opened the door with a narrow gaze.

Lightning pierced the darkness, and a headless corpse was sitting on a chair with its back facing. The head with wide-eyed eyes fell to the side of the legs and feet, looking straight towards the door, dark red blood flowed all over the floor.

"Don't come here!"

Gao Cheng stopped everyone with a serious face, and his eyes quickly swept across the room.

The brutal murder scene, as if the murderer was demonstrating, simply and directly showed the corpse in front of everyone, and the face of Koji Takarata who came from behind turned pale instantly, and he couldn't help retching, even under intense fear. Some can't stand.

"How could this be? How could Teacher Shenming..."

"Judging from the bleeding condition, it should be that someone chopped off his head after death, and the cause of death was probably a blunt blow to the back of the head..."

Gao Cheng entered the scene alone, first checked the collapsed head on the back of his head, and then looked at the corpse leaning on the back of the chair.

There was a Lucia doll in the arms of the corpse, which happened to be the doll with the double bass in the reception room...

"Is that Ivan on the double bass?"

The masked man walked directly to Gao Cheng's side. He was not surprised by the appearance of the corpse, but was very interested in the doll. The expressions of the few people outside were even more disturbed when they heard the words, and they turned their eyes to Gao Cheng who was inspecting the scene.

Anyway, Gao Cheng is an expert in this field.

"Everyone go to the reception room first," Gao Cheng saw that the masked man frowned, and ordered everyone according to the procedure, "Before the police come, everyone, don't enter here casually..."

"Well, Detective Kido," Daisuke, the head of the lawyer, hesitated, "Can you put Ivan back in the reception room first... Anyway, this doll is a clue arranged by Mr. Yamanouchi, so it's better to put it back where it was ..."

Before Gao Cheng could speak, the terrified Baotian Guangji said in fear: "Mr. Lawyer, this was put with the corpse, do you really want to take it back?"

"The competition must continue, right?" said Daisuke distressedly, "And Mr. Yamanouchi also said that no matter what happens during this inheritance competition, it will continue until the teacher's birthday, which is zero o'clock in 5 days... "

Takarata Koji and several other candidates stopped talking immediately, and silently formed a group to the bell tower reception room.

After Butler Tashiro locked the room of the gods, Gao Cheng also took Xiao Ai to follow the few people, and found that there was not only the double bass Ivan in the reception room, but also the other 4 dolls were taken away by something. After Wan was put back in place, it looked strange.

Hikaru Takarata sat or stood, and his expression became more and more restless. Only the high school student Takashi Inukai and the beautiful illustrator You Yuelai Meng couldn't see any expressions.

"Guests..."

Butler Tashiro and maid Tong Jiang pushed black tea into the reception room and served cups of tea to everyone.

"Drink some Russian black tea, it will calm you down..."

"How can you be calm?"

Meiyuan Kaoru lit a cigarette tremblingly, her face was not very happy, but she still took a cup of black tea to drink.

"Why did the prisoner do that? He actually cut off his head after the murder..."

"Maybe it's just a comparison," Inukai Takashi said, crossing his arms. "At the morning meeting of the orchestra, the heads were cut off in order from front to back. The Lucia dolls were arranged from low to high before. The bass mentioned that Ivan is 5 The shortest of the dolls..."

"Could it be that Teacher Shenming was killed according to the meaning of the poem?"

"Wait...wait!" Takarata Koji panicked, "According to the order from front to back... isn't the second shortest Emil who is also a cellist like me? Could it be..."

"You're still so timid, Mr. Baotian," You Yuelaimeng said with a smile, "It's just that Teacher Shenming was killed alone, making it sound like a serial murder..."

"The Lucia doll murder incident," Inukai Takashi interrupted Youyue Laimeng aloud, with a trace of sweat unnaturally streaming down his face, "This is the early masterpiece of Mr. Yamanouchi, 5 people were compared to Lucia I was killed one after another, and no one survived except the real murderer 'commander', don't you think it's a coincidence?"

The atmosphere of horror spread in the reception room in an instant. Takanouchi Kouji, who is quite familiar with Yamanouchi's works, couldn't control his facial expression because of fear, trembling like crying and laughing: "I just need money, I don't want to lose my life, I have to continue Do you want to compare?"

"Of, of course," Meiyuan Kaoru said calmly, "Who would give up because of this kind of thing? You can give up if you want..."

"Of course I won't either." Baotian Kouji wiped the sweat from his forehead, and could only look at Gao Cheng.

I have heard that many of Gaocheng’s clients end badly when encountering cases. I don’t know if it’s true, it’s scary.

"Okay," the masked man who had been like a transparent person suddenly stood up with a chuckle, "I'm going to rest first, after all, I have to recharge my batteries for tomorrow's reasoning competition, I wish you good luck, everyone in the quartet, and finally Lock the door of your own room and don't open it casually..."

"What the hell do you mean?"

Meiyuan Kaoru watched the masked man leave anxiously, and they began to doubt each other.

In the villa in the center of the lake, which is naturally isolated from the outside world, the possibility of the murderer being an outsider is very small. Maybe it was among the people present, or even one of the remaining four candidates.

Before returning to the room to rest, Gao Cheng checked the condition of the key lock rack in the atrium again, and carefully checked the condition of his own room. Finally, he found a magic mirror behind a painting, and he could see the condition of the vacant room next door.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ai asked.

"There is a problem with this villa..."

Gao Cheng covered the mirror with the painting again, feeling relieved at the same time, suddenly felt strangely sleepy, and his heart was shocked.

He has always been quite aware of his body, and this situation is likely to be drugged.

Gao Cheng thought of Takarada Koji on the other side.

The client may become the second victim, no matter whether this inference is correct or not, it may be dangerous...

"Xiao Ai, bring Mr. Baotian here..."
