Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 762 Reasoning Ability One Step Faster

The latest website: Gao Cheng is a rich man, and a billionaire can definitely become a national husband in Japan, but Gao Cheng rarely enters the world of rich people, at least in life.

Entertainment is usually when others invite him to dinner, and the frequency is not much, because every time there will be some troubles.

In terms of work, he only runs a detective agency on an acre of land. Few people think that he is particularly rich, and he is better than ordinary people. He can earn tens of millions for many years. Another famous detective is a living example. The uncle next door always There will be times when we will be in short supply, though it is because of excessive spending on horse racing.

In addition, there are almost no large consumptions at ordinary times, and the expenses of the office are more than enough based on the profit of the New York branch. The more expensive one is Xiao Ai's research laboratory.

Gao Cheng's biggest entertainment is playing baseball, and he prefers to stay at home and watch TV most of the time. Recently, he is often encouraged by the uncle next door to go to Kabukicho, probably because he is eyeing the small pocket money he has unknowingly accumulated.

I don't even have much experience of life in the bustling business district of Tokyo, let alone the life of the rich. The wealthy daughter Sonoko who has the most contact with her often goes to her villa for vacation, and she always stays with everyone.

Therefore, Gao Cheng knew more or less about some rich people because of their business relationship, but he was quite unfamiliar with the children of the rich family. He had heard of Chifeng Financial Company, but he didn't know that Chifeng Guangli was killed in Yijiaoyan.

The daughter of a rich family was killed in this kind of place, or she was murdered in such a planned way, it is very likely that someone around her committed the crime, at least most of the murders of daughters Gao Cheng has seen are like this, one of the common points is He has a bad personality and always has a few men around him.

I don’t know what’s going on in Chifeng Guangli, diving nearby with the divers who please me, it sounds very familiar...

A corner rock stands in the middle of the sea, with long shadows on the sea at dusk, and the atmosphere is eerie and ominous.

After receiving the report, the Kanagawa prefectural police rushed to the scene by boat, led by Yokomizo Shigego, the younger brother of police officer Yokomizo who works at the Kanagawa prefectural police station, always with a serious face.

"Although I can't say for sure without transporting it to land for careful investigation, judging from the stiffness of the roar and the cloudiness of the cornea, the time of death should be 5 to 6 hours ago..."

"The mouth is very dry, the skin has no elasticity, and died of dehydration... That is to say, the woman named Chifeng Guangli was trapped in this corner of the rock for more than 3 days without eating or drinking..."

Henggou Chongwu, who looked like a big man with a tiger head and a tiger brain, wrinkled his thick eyebrows and carefully analyzed beside the corpse: "Wearing a diving suit,

There are also oxygen cylinders... The general reasoning should be that they encountered trouble during diving, and finally struggled to reach this rock, but were not found..."

Henggou looked back at Gao Cheng with a stern expression: "I don't think so, her lipstick didn't get on her mouthpiece, which means that someone calculated the time of her death and secretly returned here to replace the oxygen bottle. Although I don't know the reason for doing this, what is certain is that it should be a murder incident!"

"Hey..."

Gao Cheng was speechless looking at Henggou, who was still serious but confident in front of him, as if waiting for his admiration to regain his enlightenment.

As expected, the two Henggou brothers are similar, but compared to the docile elder brother who is a good guy, the younger brother likes to pretend to be majestic and indifferent...

"It was indeed a murder," Gao Cheng said while holding a diving watch with a handkerchief, "and the victim himself probably knew that the prisoner would come back, so he left a message of death in a cryptic manner..."

"Death message?" Henggou was stunned again.

"The flippers are stuffed into the crevices of the rocks, and the diving watch is concealed, all to remind the police, and at the same time not let the prisoner find out. This is also the reason for not directly leaving the prisoner's name..."

"But Brother Kido," Mitsuhiko asked while looking at Gao Cheng who was thinking, "If the prisoner came again, maybe it was to set the blame on others..."

"It won't be blame," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "It's the best choice to pretend to be an accident. Even if you want to blame, there's no need to hide the diving watch alone, and the prisoner won't be caught when he comes back afterwards." Might stay too long, especially if someone is looking for the victim nearby..."

"what?"

"It's the ship from before..."

Gao Cheng looked at a yacht sailing towards Yijiaoyan from the sea, and saw two young men standing on the bow.

The people on board also discovered the situation of Yijiaoyan, and before Gao Cheng could speak, they panicked and hurriedly let the ship lean against the rock.

"It's really Missy!"

"Disappeared three days ago?" Henggou Chongwu immediately found the three young people on the boat and confirmed that the three were the divers who were with the victim. At the same time, he also learned that the victim died three days ago We dived together at noon, and then disappeared, only sent an email to a few people.

"After we returned to the boat, it took a long time for the eldest lady to come up. When I was about to dive down to find someone, I received an email from the eldest lady on my mobile phone, saying that I will leave it to you..."

"Did you stop searching and go back without confirming again?" Henggou Shigeno frowned.

"I can't help it, because similar things have happened before," the young man wearing a turban said helplessly, "During the diving in early summer, the eldest lady didn't come up once, but just sent an email. We were so anxious that we searched everywhere. She called the police, but she came back the next day with a smile on her face, saying that she happened to see a handsome guy on a passing yacht, so she boarded the boat and had a night of drinking..."

"But I haven't heard of anyone reporting missing in the past two days."

"I haven't called the police this time, because the eldest lady lost her temper last time, so we waited for a few days this time, and came out to find her because there was still no news..."

Several divers were quite distressed, especially when they saw the body of the eldest lady next to them, their faces were distressed.

"The three of us dived to find Missy near the place where we dived three days ago. We also asked about every cruise ship we saw, but we didn't expect this corner of the rock that no one usually approaches..."

Gao Cheng secretly looked at the divers from the side.

There is a long-haired man in the middle who wears a mask and keeps coughing, Kaitian, a short-haired man who wears an eyepatch and doesn’t talk much, and Qingli, a man with a turban with a Band-Aid around his mouth.

Indeed, they were all the people who shouted on another boat when they were close to Yijiaoyan. What's interesting is that they didn't ask them for questioning at that time, they just shouted a word and left in a hurry.

Gao Cheng's gaze fell on the diving watches of the same model on the wrists of several young people.

"Are all your dive watches the same?"

"Yeah, the lady made it for us, saying that the diving group should have the logo that everyone has..."

"May I take a look at it?"

"Yes, yes," several people said impatiently, "but officer, how long do you plan to stay here? The sun is almost setting..."

Henggou Shigeno also felt that staying in the narrow corner of the rock was inappropriate and inconvenient for investigation, so he murmured after hearing the words: "Then go to the police station first, and ask you for clues about the criminal..."

"It's no longer needed."

Gao Cheng interrupted suddenly, and everyone who was about to leave paused, including Okiya Subaru who was standing behind thinking, and couldn't help looking at Gao Cheng, narrowing his eyes even tighter.

Already solved the puzzle? He still doesn't understand what the words on the rock mean...

"There's no need to trouble yourself," Gao Cheng returned the diving watch to the others and continued, "I already know the murderer's name."

"what?"

A few young people didn't bother to pick up the diving watch, and said in surprise: "What do you mean?"

"Hey, it's been an accident since just now, isn't it an accident?" the man in the hood wondered.

"Mr. Qingli," Gao Cheng said calmly, "Is the bandage you put on the corner of your mouth injured?"

"No, no, it's a pimple. I broke it last night when I was surfing the Internet with my chin propped up, because I was in a hurry to check if there was any news about the eldest lady..."

"There is no need to explain so much."

Gao Cheng shook his head and continued to ask, "Where is Mr. Qingli's full name?"

"Qingli Zhou Ping..." The hooded man responded, frowning, "You don't think I'm the murderer, do you? Are you kidding me..."

"I'm not kidding, because Miss Chifeng left your name, Qingli Zhouping."

"Haha, it's ridiculous, but tell me, where is my name?"

"How do you know that?" Gao Cheng smiled, "Indeed, because the murderer will come back, Miss Chifeng can't directly leave the murderer's name, and the murderer should have confirmed this in a hurry."

"you……"

The turbaned man's face twitched, and he lost his composure.

"To tell you the truth," Gao Cheng said directly, "Miss Chifeng carved mackerel, carp, sea bream, and flounder on the rocks. It may look nothing special, but if you change it into the corresponding Chinese characters, it becomes mackerel, carp, etc. flounder, sea bream, and flounder of the flounder family, even if there is no next prompt here, it is obvious..."

"Qing, Qingli Zhou Ping?" Conan was surprised for a moment, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.

"That's right," Gao Cheng handed Chifeng Guangli's diving goggles to Henggou Chongwu, "Not only is there wear marks on the part used to engrave the words on the rock, but also the words on the back have been worn off. 'FISH', which is the word for fish, is also found on several other diving watches. If you remove the fish from the death message, it becomes Qingli Zhouping..."

"Can something like this prove that I'm a prisoner?" The hooded man gritted his teeth and denied, his right hand couldn't help reaching for the dagger in his trousers pocket.

"Of course you can, on the premise that it's a death message..."

Gao Cheng looked at the man in the turban who was still trying to quibble, and said further: "By the way, if you get a pimple while surfing the Internet with your chin propped up in an Internet cafe, it should not be on the right side. Generally, there will be no acne in Internet cafes." The reason why you are so eager to explain the mouse you use with your left hand...could it be something stuck on it?"

"this……"

"Since the Band-Aid was used in a hurry, it means that it was discovered after returning to the ship, so the oxygen bottle that was originally used by Miss Chifeng may have been brought back to the ship by you, just check it out."

The man in the turban shook his body, took a step back unknowingly, and was cornered by Gao Cheng. He was facing only a young man who looked harmless, but the pressure on him was not so great. His throat felt dry. Looking at other people feels nothing.

This guy……

The turbaned man swallowed dryly.

He instinctively wanted to find a child as a hostage to escape, but during the interrogation, Gao Cheng had already isolated him from the others, as if he had seen through him completely.

"It's all the woman's own fault..."

The man in the turban gritted his teeth and pulled out his dagger to rush towards Gao Cheng. A shadow suddenly flashed beside him and slapped the dagger away.

"How dare you commit a crime!" Henggou Shigeno reacted furiously, and viciously grabbed the collar of the turbaned man, "Go to the police station to reflect first!"

"Are you all right?"

Okiya Subaru watched the man in the turban being detained, turned around to look at Gao Cheng, still smiling gently.

Although the puzzle is not too difficult, the speed of solving it is very fast, and it seems that the answer is known in a blink of an eye. It seems that it was not a fluke in the past, but it was too careless about safety.

Relying on reasoning ability alone will not only fail to protect yourself and the people around you, but may cause trouble, especially the strange luck that is easy to get involved in the case.

Who can encounter a murder case so casually?

"Ah, it's okay," Gao Cheng was stunned, and smiled at Subaru Okiya, "Thank you, Mr. Okiya."
