Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 723: Urban Legend

In the apartment building, when Gao Cheng led the three motorcycle girls and followed Chiba into the hammer man's room, Sato and Takagi knew that no one would come out of the house again, and found a fainted man in the back room.

The man was wearing a hat and a windbreaker, and he was dressed to escape, but he had a rope around his neck. It looked like he was going to tie the rope to the handle on the opposite side of the door, and then hang the other end around the door from above. own neck.

Sato made a preliminary judgment: "It may be that the rope slipped from the door before he was suffocated. As a result, he passed out and fell on the floor. He did not succeed in suicide..."

"It shouldn't be suicide."

When Gao Cheng entered the room, he had already checked the situation in the room. The entrance hall was very messy, there were several bags of garbage beside the shoe cabinet, and the delivered pizza was still placed on the table. smile.

"The real hammer man is still fine..."

"Huh?" Sato's eyes were cute.

"Just look at it." Gao Cheng also squatted next to the fainted man, "The person who wants to hang himself is wearing this kind of hat that gets in the way, and it's not crooked at all, and the most important thing is that there's nothing on his neck. Stretch marks, so..."

Gao Cheng directly lifted the hat, revealing the bleeding head of the man in front of Sato and the others.

"This is the truth."

"Blood?" Sato's expression changed, "What's going on? The Hammer Man was attacked..."

"I think just the opposite."

Gao Cheng looked at the general situation of the man, turned his gaze to other places in the room, and finally went into the bathroom to check.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it is very likely that Hammer Man chose to escape with another identity. The injured and unconscious guy should be just some unlucky guy who was called into the room.

That is to say, among the three biker girls, those who are similar in size to this person may be Hammer Man himself, and the thin monkey is the most suspicious, but the biker girl is not without suspicion.

After all, "Hammer Man" is just a title of urban legend, and there is no eyewitness testimony to prove that the prisoner is a man, so Gao Cheng will not be affected by such an unfounded statement.

It is not too difficult to confirm the identity of Hammer Man, as long as you find a few places where you work, you can quickly find out the counterfeit.

After all, there are several parties involved.

Walking around in the room, Gao Cheng already had a rough idea, and he didn't even need to investigate separately. He just looked at the three motorcycle girls and got feedback.

Unlike the tall man and the skinny monkey man, the motorcycle girl who was still wearing a helmet turned pale when she met Gao Cheng's sight.

It is really clever to use the courier to change his identity to escape, but the loophole is also very big. When he is stopped by the detective, he should find a way to escape...

Soon the ambulance arrived at the apartment building, police officer Mu Mu came with the medical staff, and Mu Mu was also very concerned about the "prophet" incident that had been raging these days, so he rushed to the apartment before the medical staff arrived. When Gao Chenggong came to find him, he didn't even bother to question Sato and Takagi's subordinates.

"How is it, Brother Kido? Do you have any clues?"

"If it's Hammer Man, I know which one it is." Gao Cheng shook his head helplessly. Although he hasn't asked Hammer Man for questioning yet, he feels that it is difficult to find any relevant clues.

"Really?"

Mu Mu was pleasantly surprised, even though he knew that Gao Cheng would not disappoint people, he never expected to solve the case so quickly: "So, what is Hammer Man..."

"That's the lady."

Gao Cheng didn't want to be a fuss anymore, and directly pointed out the identity of the motorcycle girl, but it also shocked the few people who looked at him, including the tall man and the skinny man.

"She, is she the Hammer Man?"

"That's right, this room is disguised as a male residence," Gao Cheng looked at the slightly trembling motorbike girl and explained, "Even the hair in the bathroom has been carefully cleaned, and the underwear that is likely to reveal the identity of a woman in the change of clothes has also been cleaned. Nothing was left, even the toothbrush for brushing teeth was brought out. At first glance, it really looks like a male room. After all, there were men in the residents here, but...

"The rechargeable electric razor in the bathroom has no signs of recent use, it hasn't even been charged, and the toilet seat hasn't been lifted, plus the bathroom is too clean... These are enough to reveal the identity of the real guest Oh, the Hammer Man is actually a woman, and she is a woman disguised as a courier who picks up the package..."

Gao Cheng's eyes fell on the courier package carried by the motorcyclist.

"This room was rented by a man to live with his girlfriend. Later, there was only one person left. The neighbors mistakenly thought it was a woman who left. In fact, it was a man who disappeared from here. The woman has been living here and became the hammer man in urban legend. The reason why I couldn’t get rid of the drunk was probably because I was wearing thick-soled boots that are inconvenient for running? I think I can find out as long as I open this express package..."

The motorcyclist let go of her hand in a cold sweat, and let the package fall on the ground without any response.

The whole person seemed to be seen through, as if being pinched by a pair of big hands, unable to breathe.

"You knew it was me from the beginning?" the motorcycle girl asked tremblingly.

"It's just a suspicion..."

Watching the real motorcycle courier being carried away on a stretcher, Gao Cheng scratched his hair and said, "If you want to use this method, you need to call a few more people, and at the same time, your body should not be too special. After all, you need an impostor to replace you. Reasonable, the first courier who is tall and strong does not meet the replacement conditions, and the most important thing is that only the second courier is convenient to take away the package..."

The arrest of the hammer girl went very smoothly. After knowing that there was no hope, the woman was taken away by the police in silence, which broke the urban legend of the hammer man.

But there were still no clues about the so-called prophet, and the police couldn't even formally file a case for investigation, even though the criminal police of the first section were quite dissatisfied with the disturbance caused by the other party.

"The Prophet" has become a new urban legend. There are mysterious inferences, and some people say that the "Prophet" is a super genius far beyond ordinary people. He actually solved the case before it happened, and his amazing ability surpasses that of a famous detective.

"Why solve the case before it happens? Knowing the facts of the case and allowing the continuous injury case to happen, this is not called solving the case..."

At Kido Detective Agency, Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai had dinner together in front of the TV, watching the nightly news reports and couldn't help murmuring.

Xiao Ai glanced at Gao Cheng who was throwing a child's temper: "Is there no clue at all?"

"The other party should be a network expert, at least the technical level is better than ours," Gao Cheng said repeatedly, "I have already contacted the doctor for help, maybe I can find some clues."

He couldn't find an archetypal character like a prophet in his impression, but now he was sure that even if this prophet had nothing to do with the case, he was by no means a good person.

"Buzz!" The cell phone placed by the table vibrated suddenly. Gao Cheng thought it was the Metropolitan Police Department who contacted him. He put down the bowl and chopsticks to look, but only found an anonymous email.

"What do you mean?" Gao Cheng picked up the phone and chewed a few mouthfuls of rice in a daze.

Someone actually sent him the fifth prediction, and the content was completely different from before. I wonder if it was the prophet himself...
