Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

During the party time, the gloomy Xu Jian helped to prepare snacks, while Huang Yi also brought red wine from the wine cellar.

After Gao Seng left Conan's room and walked down the stairs, he just saw everyone around the dining table: "Where is Uncle Maori?"

"Dad, he went back to the car to get the cigarette."

"That old smoker..."

"Okay," Kuroda Naoko smiled, "Everyone is ready, Jodo-kun, let's find a chair and sit down."

"The remaining two people haven't come yet..."

"They won't come anymore," Uncle Maori, wearing a coat, opened the entrance door with a heavy face and walked into the living room. "I went to the cliff just now. I don't know who burned the suspension bridge!"

"Ah? How could this be?"

Everyone in the living room said in shock: "There is only one way down the mountain!"

"There must be a limit to mischief..."

"This is not a prank," Uncle Maori looked serious. "If I guess right, I'm afraid someone wants to trap everyone here."

"But who would do such a thing?"

"Well..."

Facing the confusion of everyone, Uncle Maori couldn't tell why: "Didn't you do it?"

"Please, why are we trapping ourselves in such a place?"

Kuroda Naoko said with a worried expression: "The phone has been unable to get through, could it be that the phone line was cut off?"

Gao Cheng's face changed when he heard that the suspension bridge was burnt down. If it was a coincidence that the suspension bridge was also burned, it would be impossible to explain it. Maybe what will happen this time...

"Where is Mr. Hamano?" Gao Cheng asked, glanced at the crowd.

"He should still be thinking about entertainment in the room." Yuanzi responded.

"Still in the room?"

Gao Cheng's brows jumped, and he rushed upstairs without hesitation to explain, "Mr. Huang, which room does Mr. Hamano live in?"

"Room 302...what's wrong?"

Huangyi and Yuanzi and others followed Gaocheng upstairs in doubt.

"Mr. Hamano! Mr. Hamano?" Gao Cheng found room 302 and knocked on the door. After no one responded, he twisted the **** and found that the door was not locked.

Pushing open the door, there is no half figure inside, only a cold wind blows in from the open balcony window, and the curtains flutter in the wind.

"Weird, isn't Mr. Hamano away?" A few people followed Ran Yoshi into the room, surprised to see Gao Cheng silently standing by the balcony outside.

"It's still late..."

Gao Cheng looked closely at the center of the broad snow in the backyard. In the night, Toshi Hamano was lying motionless in the snow, with no footprints around.

"How is this possible? How did it pass..."

"Mr. Hamano!"

Uncle Maori hurried downstairs and rushed to Hamano Toshiya in front of the crowd. After checking the situation in Hamano, his expression changed and he hurriedly shouted: "Don't come here! He is dead!"

"what?"

"how come?"

Ran Yoshi and others stopped in horror: "Mr. Maori, this..."

The uncle said solemnly: "From now on, no one is allowed to act casually, let alone destroy the scene!"

"on site?"

"Did you not see? The body is more than 10 meters away from the villa, but there are only the footprints left by me just now, which means this is an impossible crime!"

Uncle Maori put down Hamano's body again and stood up seriously and looked at everyone.

"No introduction yet, I'm actually a detective..."

"Ah!" Naoko Kuroda reacted, "Is Mr. Mouri the famous Kogoro Mouri?"

"Maori Kogoro?"

"No way?"

Huangyi looked at Uncle Maori in surprise: "I thought it was just a coincidence..."

"Ah," Uncle Mouri cleared his throat, "I am indeed the detective Kogoro Moori, can I invite everyone to gather in the living room next? It is probably someone here who killed Mr. Hamano..."

"Huh? You mean some of us are murderers?!"

"Uh, I didn't say that. It may be someone hiding nearby. Of course, there is a high possibility that the murderer is among you people."

Uncle Maori took everyone back to the living room of the villa.

"The only thing I know now is that someone used a string or something to tie Mr. Hamano's neck, and after killing him, he was transported to the backyard in some way. The time of the crime was after Mr. Hamano went back to the room alone. ."

Uncle Maori cross-examined: "Can you tell me what you were doing at that time?"

"I was preparing tableware with Miss Kuroda," Doi Tower answered first, "Right, Miss Kuroda?"

"Yeah," Kuroda nodded, "but when it's done, I went to the kitchen again to help Mr. Sugama."

"help?"

"Mr. Huang asked me to prepare food and drink." The dull Shukama pointed to the table.

"Well, I happened to go to the suspension bridge at that time," Uncle Maori groaned and touched his chin, and continued to ask Doi Tucker, "So you will be alone?"

Doi Tower hurriedly explained: "Ah, I went to the room to get the biscuits for dinner."

"Oh? Take cookies?" The uncle stared at Doi Tower, quite suspicious.

"I'll go to the room to see Conan," Yuanzi continued, "and then I stayed with Xiaolan."

Xiaolan nodded vigorously: "I just happened to see the city senior."

Tanaka Kikue explained: "As for me, I'm responsible for boiling the bath water. I've always been at the firewood room."

"Where is Mr. Huang?"

"Oh, I went to the wine cellar to get wine."

"It won't take much time to get the wine?" Uncle Maori asked suspiciously.

"Because I forgot to change the lock of the wine cellar, so I went back to the villa to get the key." Huang Yi said anxiously.

"How long did it take?"

"This one……"

"About eight minutes," Sukama helped explain, "Ms. Tanaka left the living room to boil the water. It was almost eight minutes before Mr. Ara returned from the wine cellar, because I happened to be using the oven."

The uncle frowned upon hearing this: "In this case, there is really no time to do other things."

"That," Tanaka shivered, "It's so cold, can I go to the room to get a piece of clothing to wear?"

Uncle Maori eagerly said: "Of course, Miss Tanaka, for safety's sake, I will accompany you to go with you..."

The corner of Xiaolan's eyes twitched, and she also got up and said: "Then I will go too, I will go see Conan."

"Everyone, let's go together."

Kikue Tanaka and Uncle Maori went upstairs vigilantly, and everyone who remained in the living room fell silent.

Since the murderer burned down the suspension bridge, he was likely to kill others. Everyone was quite worried, afraid that he would become the next target.

"A good party will turn out to be like this," Kuroda said uncomfortably. "Does the murderer want to kill us all?"

Huangyi comforted: "Everyone should be fine if they stay together. I'll see tomorrow if I can get in touch with the outside world."

"It's all my fault," Yuanzi sat on the side by himself, tugging his fingers tightly, "I killed Mr. Hamano, because I chose him to perform a cabaret show, so he..."

"What silly thing to say?" Gao Cheng looked at the garden where his tears were falling, and said with an aura, "It has nothing to do with you at all. It is just a magic trick... You just happened to be used by Mr. Hamano to perform magic."

"Eh?"

"What really cares about..."

Gao Cheng stood up and picked up the note paper next to the phone: "Mr. Hamano seemed surprised that he was selected. It seems that Doi Tower should have been in charge of the after-show... Why did the magic fail? What happened in the middle? And this magic trick..."

Gao Cheng frowned slightly.

If Doi Tower is Kidd, it's not impossible to get involved in front of Hamano, but Kidd can't kill people...Although that guy is annoying, he will definitely not mess around...

"If there is a second person, the magic is easy." Hui Yuan's voice suddenly rang in Gao Cheng's ears.

"Xiao Ai?" Gao Cheng was slightly embarrassed, "Aren't you sleeping?"

"You are so noisy and someone has been killed, how can I still sleep?" Haibara glanced at Gao Cheng, and continued quietly, "The magic, if you say that Mr. Hamano and Miss Tanaka are cooperating at the beginning, Isn't the matter clear?"

"Are you saying that Miss Tanaka is the supporter?" Gao Cheng looked surprised and thought of something. He re-examined the note paper in his hand and found that there were a few blank pages with very inconspicuous pen marks on the back.

"Is it a pen that can't be written at that time?"

Gao Cheng recalled the situation before. At that time, Hamano deliberately blindfolded the garden and asked the garden to step aside to avoid the crowd.

His attention at the time was on Hamano, but it was Takahie Tanaka who really did it, and he must have dropped the pen in the middle.

If it’s right, the back of the note that was handed to Yuanzi might have been marked in advance...

In other words, the magic "failure" is most likely caused by Tanaka Kikue.

Is that big beauty a murderer?

Gao Cheng scratched his hair tangledly.

"What's wrong?" Yuanzi asked strangely.

"Ah, it's nothing," Gao Cheng regained his senses and said quickly, "I feel a little worried about Xiaolan and the others, so I should go up and see..."

"Hey!" There was a sudden burst of glass cracking, which was shocked.

"what happened?"

"It seems that the glass is broken!"

In the bathroom of the villa, the hot water was still steaming, the floor was full of glass slag, the outward window was broken, and a crossbow arrow was stuck in the cracked mirror on the opposite side.

Gao Cheng looked at the crossbow arrow, his eyes fell on the broken glass window.

Everyone is in the villa, that is to say, the people outside are shooting arrows, but how can they shoot arrows at nobody’s bathroom inexplicably? Scare people?

"What's the matter?" Uncle Maori and others hurried down from upstairs, their faces changed and changed when they saw the bathroom.

"Asshole, what the **** is that guy doing? Not only did he attack Miss Tanaka, he also shot arrows toward the bathroom!"

"Assault Miss Tanaka?" Gao Cheng looked at the uncle in confusion.

"Yes," Xiao Lan said with lingering fear, "When we accompany Miss Tanaka back to the room just now, an arrow shot in from the window and almost shot Miss Tanaka."

"is it?"

Gao Cheng turned to Tanaka who came later, and said in a daze, "That is to say, the murderer first shot an arrow at Miss Tanaka's room upstairs, and then shot an arrow at the bathroom? Wouldn't this be too strange?

"What's so strange?" Uncle Maori snorted, "I think that guy must have slipped his hand and shot the wrong shot!"

"Ha ha."

"What's the kidding?! That guy really angered me!" After Tanaka looked at the bathroom, he suddenly ran out angrily.

"Wait, Miss Tanaka!"

"It's too dangerous outside!"

In the backyard of the villa, Takae Tanaka ran out of the back door and ran directly to the woods opposite the bathroom. Uncle Maori and his party hurriedly followed.

"Miss Tanaka!"

"Come out!" Tanaka ran to the edge of the woods and yelled, "What's the matter if you hide your head fearfully, get out of me!"

Gao Cheng finally walked out of the villa and silently looked at Takahie Tanaka who was shouting.

"What's the matter, Great Detective?" Huihara followed and smiled softly, "Is it relieved because it's a beautiful woman?"

"How is it possible? Be careful with your tongue, I will deduct your salary!"

"Humph."

Hui Yuan looked at Gao Cheng with a smile, and walked towards the people by the woods with his little hands on his back.

The light in the woods is not very good, but you can still see the messy footprints everywhere on the snow, and the attention of Conan and others is completely attracted by the footprints.

"Sure enough, is there anyone else hiding here?"

Xiaolan caught up to support Takahie Tanaka who accidentally fell down: "Miss Tanaka, are you okay?"

"Why?" Tanaka Kikue said in anguish. "Why did we encounter such a bad thing? Why?"

"Miss Tanaka..."

Gao Cheng's eyes never left Takahie Tanaka. Although the woman's movements were very secretive, he still saw the other side throw a pocket crossbow to the other side of the snow, as if he had pulled something out of a tree trunk.

"this is?"

Standing under a tree with falling snow, a small hole in the trunk appeared in Gao Cheng's line of sight.

"Hey, come and take a look!" Uncle Maori found the crossbow and hurriedly shouted, "It seems that the murderer is someone outside the villa!"

"Isn't this a crossbow?"

"There are so many arrows here!"

Gao Cheng squatted by the tree and looked at it for a while~www.NovelMTL.com~ stood up and said to Uncle Maori: "It's hard to say that the murderer is someone outside."

"What?" Uncle Maori sank and said unhappy. "Isn't it obvious? Everyone was in the villa when the murderer shot the arrow. Now the murder weapon is also found here. You can tell, the murderer is outside except What else is possible for the people?!"

"What if it's just someone deliberately using the blindfold method?" Gao Cheng asked rhetorically.

"what?"

"In short, everything is still uncertain, and who the murderer is will be investigated further."

"But whether it was when Mr. Hamano was killed or just now, we had an alibi," Ranyi said strangely, "If the murderer is among us, how did he do it?"

Gao Cheng groaned: "Probably it's magic. The murderer performed an impossible crime in front of us."

"magic?"

Uncle Maori smoked on his forehead: "What the **** are you talking about? Huh, I think you just want to face me."

Gao Cheng smiled bitterly: "I think we'd better confirm everyone's alibi and leave the crossbow to the uncle for safekeeping before the murderer is caught."
