Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

The second night at Villa Lucia came, and Kouji Takata slept in Gaocheng's room like a dead pig, while the others locked themselves in their rooms. Be on guard, especially Meiyuan Kaoru and Inukai Takashi, who don't even trust Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng didn't care about the suspicion of these people either. Since the murderer didn't completely kill in the order of the puppets, the first priority was of course to protect the client, and Xiao Ai also needed him by his side.

The cause of this incident was the large amount of legacy left by mystery novelist Tsune Sho Yamanouchi. Five candidates and his helpers gathered at the Lucia Pavilion in the deep mountain lake of Hokkaido.

Before he came here, he had smelled the smell of the case, but the reality was far more complicated. Not only was the murder case caused by the inheritance dispute, but this time the competition seemed to have other secrets behind it.

To be precise, the whole incident is inseparable from the deceased Tsuneshō Yamanouchi. This superficially noble reasoning writer personally designed a terrible serial murder before his death.

Two people have died so far, namely the critic Shen Ming Tadashi and Gao Yuan Yaoyi's friend, the beautiful illustrator Youyue Laimeng.

Both of them were brutally beheaded by the murderer and compared to their respective Lucia dolls, as if they were recreating the early masterpiece "Lucia Doll Murder Case" by Yamanouchi Tsunesho.

Gao Cheng spread out the floor plan of the villa on the table, marking the reception room, dining room and two murder scenes.

There are still many unknown secret passages in the villa, but everyone only had time to check their respective rooms to confirm that the murderer could not sneak in, so there was only one way to open the door with the key.

The only key that can open the atrium lock frame is now in the hands of Gao Yuanyaoyi, and everyone blocked Gao Yuanyaoyi's door with heavy objects.

Mei Yuanxun and the others seemed to trust Gao Yuanyao more. Although this guy was mysterious, he was freed from suspicion because of Youyue Laimeng's murder.

Gao Cheng felt that this guy would definitely not let himself be trapped in the room, and figured out that there must be a way, after all, no one checked his room carefully.

Of course, it doesn't make much difference whether the key is in Gao Yuanyao's hands or not, and it's even safer, so Gao Cheng didn't object.

The question now is what the murderer intends to do, and Tsune-san Yamanouchi...

The villa at night is quite quiet, it seems that only Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai are still studying at the desk, and Gao Yuanyao, who is also not asleep in the other room, sits quietly on the sofa, playing with the key in his hand, not knowing what he is thinking.

Although he is a wanted criminal, this time Gao Yuanyao is still eager to find out the criminal. Friends who have helped a lot were killed, and he was almost framed, which made him feel provoked...

After a pause, Gao Yuanyao went straight into the bathroom, turned on the mechanism and found a secret passage on the wall.

No matter who the murderer is, the price must be paid...

"Those puppets have problems..." Gao Cheng frowned more and more as he deepened his research.

The first Shenming Tadashi to be killed was killed in front of the puppet in the reception room, maybe something had been discovered, otherwise the murderer could have waited until Shenming Tadashi returned to the room before attacking.

Then it is to take away the dolls to imitate the novels of Yamauchi Hengsheng to compare and kill people. The purpose of this should not be just to cause panic.

The murderer took away the dolls probably because he didn't want everyone to continue studying the dolls, and put them back one after another after the murder...was it to delay time?

Gao Cheng rubbed his eyes,

After recovering, he found that Xiao Ai's notebook used to study the code was placed in front of him.

I don't know when, Xiao Ai actually measured the size of each doll in advance, and found out the final answer after listing all the information.

On the surface, the verses left by Kosho Yamanouchi have nothing to do with the Lucia doll, and even seem to simply imply that the murderer killed someone. In fact, "beheading" has another meaning, but everyone was misled by the murderer.

"At the morning meeting of the orchestra, the heads were cut off in order from front to back..."

"Head" actually refers to the initials of the puppet's name. The so-called order is not simply arranged according to the size of the puppet, but is arranged according to the real size of the instrument in the puppet's hand.

These Lucia dolls prepared by Yamanouchi Tsunesho, the musical instruments in their hands are not the real size, both the double bass and the violin are uniformly 20 cm.

After the correction, the arrangement order of the dolls has changed dramatically, and the first letter is removed to get "TOKEI", which is the pronunciation of clock in Japanese.

The next step is "Put the head of the second person to the right of the head of the fifth person, and the cheerful melody begins..."

"I" and "O" written together are similar to the number 10. If the "cheerful melody" in the back refers to the bell, it should mean that the clock strikes 10 o'clock...

Looking at Xiao Ai next to him, who obviously didn't drink the coffee that might have taken sleeping pills, but slept deeper than Koji Takata, Gao Cheng felt ashamed in surprise.

Didn't notice that Xiao Ai was already so tired...

Xiao Ai's reasoning ability is actually not particularly outstanding, and he will not deduce it from the murderer's actions like him. In other words, it is likely to be the result of direct verification, and the workload has exceeded the child's physical capacity.

With a soft breath, Xiao Aibao was put on the bed and covered with a quilt, and Gao Cheng concentrated on sorting out the materials.

It's been two days, and it's his turn next...

As the core of Hengsheng Yamanouchi's tricks, the solution of the riddle can be said to have brought him a big step closer to the truth. Xiao Ai helped a lot, and the rest can be solved one by one with his reasoning ability.

In addition to solving puzzles such as secret codes without authorization, he definitely lives up to his title as a famous detective in the world of Conan, not to mention the system's one-minute mode as a memory aid.

"Boom!" There was thunder outside the villa, and there was another heavy rain in the middle of the night, sealing off the entire lake, as if implying that danger was approaching, but Kaoru Umezono and Takashi Inukai, who were sleeping soundly in the room, did not any response.

Even though they knew that the dinner might be drugged, the two paid special attention to it, but in the end they still fell for it.

No way, everyone ate dinner, except for Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai, everyone also drank coffee, even the competitor Tarota Kouji drank coffee without hesitation...

Inukai Takashi regretted it when he felt sleepy. He shouldn't only suspect a few candidates, and he shouldn't even care about that idiot Takata Koji.

That guy still has detective protection...

It's just that no matter how Inukai Takashi thinks, he can't figure out how the murderer took the medicine. It's impossible to ignore him, and sleeping pills have no special antidote.

Could the murderer really be Gao Cheng who didn't drink coffee? No, although the masked man drank coffee, he didn't add sugar...

Inukai Takashi fell into a deep sleep with deep confusion, while Umezono Kaoru on the other side didn't think about it at all, but felt that he was safe after locking the door.

A black shadow flashed across the corridor, hiding at the corner, a pair of cold-blooded inverted triangular eyes stared at the door of Mei Yuanxun's room without emotion, and suddenly came back to his senses in shock, looking straight at the other side bathed in a flash of lightning Gao Cheng.

Quietly, as if they were waiting for him specially.

"You really have a way to come out..." Gao Cheng took the masked man back to his room, poured a cup of tea, and reminded Xiao Ai because he didn't want to disturb the sleeping Xiao Ai, "Speak quietly if you have anything to say, I know you It's Gao Yuan."

"I knew you had already seen through it." Gao Yuanyao looked at Xiao Ai, took off his mask with a chuckle and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to catch up here, or should we say that we are really destined?"

"I don't believe in fate," Gao Cheng sat down directly opposite Gao Yuanyao, "just to catch you..."

To be precise, it is to complete the task of the Metropolitan Police Department, and at the same time, I hope to restrain this guy.

He didn't want to have some kind of old enemy, he would make himself unhappy if he was full and supported...

"It's meaningless at all," Gao Yuanyao said with a casual smile, "I can disappear from this villa at any time without a trace, but it's not the time to leave yet..."

Gao Yuanyao's smile was very ordinary, he seemed to be just talking to his friends, but it carried a hidden danger.

Gao Cheng didn't think that Gao Yuanyao was joking, but he didn't flinch either: "How about we make a bet? You came out to find the murderer, right? If I find the murderer first..."

"If you find the murderer first, it doesn't matter if I go to prison," Gao Yuanyao interrupted, narrowing his eyes slightly, "However, if I win, how about you give up the title of detective?

"I will let the murderer's body roll out without you noticing..."
