Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

?Chuo District, Kyobashi Central Hospital.

When Gao Cheng drove over with Nakahara Kaori, Yashima Fuyuki had finished treatment, and the attending physician shook his head and announced the worst news.

Yashima Fuyuki not only did not wake up, but stopped breathing forever, with no vital signs...

When the doctor left, Kaori Zhongyuan stood quietly by the hospital bed, looking at the cold body of her boyfriend.

Gao Cheng glanced over Nakahara Kaori, avoiding the nurses, and found a corner outside the ward to talk.

"So, I don't need your help at all."

"But I heard from the police department of Mumu, that it will be sent for inspection tonight, right? The suspect has passed away, there is no way..."

In Didan Elementary School, Conan avoided the children, holding the eardrop phone at the top of the stairs: "If it's just an investigation, wouldn't it be better for me to help?"

"Idiot, if you come over, those guys will definitely not be at peace... If I let a group of kids help, what would so many police officers acting together?" Gao Cheng looked at the direction of the ward, "Don't tell me, I It will be resolved."

The ward is still dead and silent, completely different from the busy atmosphere outside, and no doctors and nurses pay attention to this side, as if abandoned.

It will probably be transferred to the morgue...

"Miss Zhongyuan..." Gao Cheng closed the door of the ward and looked at Kaori Zhongyuan, not knowing what to say.

"It's me... I killed it..."

Nakahara Kaori burst into tears.

"I killed Fuyuki..."

...

At the payment office of the hospital, Gao Cheng settled the bill and sorted out the receipts. After a pause, he went to the doctor's office with a deep voice.

It was good, but Nakahara Kaori suddenly fainted in the ward, almost making him feel at a loss...

"Although anemia is not a big problem..." the attending physician looked at the examination report and said, "In fact, Miss Zhongyuan has been pregnant for three months..."

"Can you talk to her?"

"I think it should be okay... However, it may burden her spirit..."

"I will pay attention, it will be fine in a while," Gao Cheng solemnly said. "There may be a press conference tonight. If you don't find new clues quickly..."

Kaga is still working hard near Nihonbashi, also to find out the truth of the incident, he can't hold back here.

Only by finding a clue that Yashima is not the murderer can the case be given more time to investigate.

In the lounge, after obtaining the consent of the doctor, Gao Cheng saw the haggard Kaori Nakahara again.

"It's Fuyuki's child..." Nakahara Kaori pressed her stomach silently, "When should I tell him if I had a headache..."

Gao Cheng was silent for a while, organized a good speech and asked: "I heard that he had a criminal record in the past... Will he use knives?"

Kaori Nakahara shook her head in retrospect, "I don't know...but he doesn't carry it now. I know what he has at home and what he has, I know better than himself."

"Including personal belongings?" Gao Cheng continued to ask, "Can you fully grasp it?"

"Really," Kaori Nakahara said seriously, "I know him better than anyone... the day before the accident, I helped him find the socks without holes..."

"But on the night of the crime, he was carrying the victim’s belongings and briefcase when he was talking on the phone with you... At that time, he was hiding in the green plants on the roadside, calling and saying, “I’m going home soon, so busy. I'm sorry for late'..."

Gao Cheng looked directly at Kaori Nakahara.

"Miss Zhongyuan, can you say that you know him better than anyone?!"

"He told me!"

Kaori Nakahara interrupted Gao Cheng, tearing away from the line of sight, clutching her fingers tightly, and said with difficulty, "What to do... I did something that shouldn't be done..."

Gao Cheng's eyes sank slightly: "Is this his last call?"

"He didn't know why he suddenly wanted to wear socks without holes that day..."

Zhongyuan buried his head and choked, and could no longer suppress his emotions and cry out loud.

"I forced him to death. I blamed him for money, so he did that kind of thing..."

Kaori Nakahara couldn't make a sound, and she held her face helplessly: "It's all to blame, it's me who killed him, I killed Fuyuki..."

"What shouldn't be done, what is the truth of the matter..." Gao Sung stood up, "It doesn't necessarily mean that Mr. Yashima killed someone, right? You don't want Mr. Yashima to die as a murderer, right? ?"

Taking Nakahara Kaori to the nurse's care, Gao Cheng leaned slightly and said, "Don't worry, no matter what the truth is, I will definitely give you an explanation and bet on the future of a famous detective."

...

Meeting room of Nihonbashi Police Station.

"Pregnant?"

"Nowadays young people are poor, they are not at all ambiguous in this respect..."

The police officers in charge of the investigation were all called together to report on the work. Gao Cheng and Kaga were no exception, but he did not mention the last phone call from Yashima.

That kind of statement can only advance the press conference...

When the other police report was completed, Gao Cheng stood up and continued: "As for the person who entered the cafe with the victim, I think we need to investigate again to determine whether it is Yashima himself."

The police officers on the scene turned to Gao Cheng.

Most of them are from the police station in the district. They just heard of Gao Cheng's name. After seeing the real person so young, I always feel unreliable. Jinshi Metal also investigated with the police officers from the Search Division.

"The day before the Yashima incident, I found socks without holes," Gao Cheng said calmly. "It should be prepared for the next day's interview. There are not many places where you need to take off your shoes. I believe you can find Yashima. The company interviewed on the day of the case..."

There was a lot of discussion among the police at the scene, and several high-level officials nodded their heads even though they were reluctant to continue.

"Indeed, it would be better if you knew why Yashima went to the vicinity of Nihonbashi."

"In addition," Gao Cheng paused. "There is no contact record of the interview company on Yashima's mobile phone. It may not be interviewed through a magazine or other job advertisements. Instead, I saw the recruitment announcement posted outside the store and applied for the temporary application. Then the other party because of why Ask him to have an interview the next day...If we arrange the police based on these two points...

At the end of the meeting, Gao Cheng and Kaga left the police station together.

"We have bought time for the time being, but at most we can only postpone the press conference by one day."

Kaga took a map and handed it to Gao Cheng.

"On the tour of the Seven Deities of Good Fortune, someone saw Mr. Aoyagi enshrining purple paper cranes at Suimori Shrine a month ago..."

Kaga and Gao Cheng walked through the streets: "I don't know what purpose Mr. Aoyagi paid homage to the Seven Deities of Good Luck, and then I will go through the remaining shrines.

"Sergeant Kaga, you'd better drive there, otherwise it's too slow."

Gao Cheng looked at the various locations where Aoyagi Wuming appeared on the map.

"Mr. Aoyagi really walked a lot... But why did Yashima go to Nihonbashi and run so far to find a job in Nihonbashi? How can I say that it is quite far away from Arakawa..."

"You might know when you find the company that interviewed him," Kaga suggested. "Anyway, accompany me to the remaining shrines first."

"Huh? I'll go together too?!"

"Yes, anyway, the Yashima line doesn't need you to investigate for the time being. It's better to run with one more person than one person."

"That's right..."

...

Suitengu Shrine, Tokyo’s famous shrine for praying for safety, is also the last shrine for the Seven Deities of Good Luck.

Gao Cheng traveled to several shrines, and finally followed Kaga to the Suitemiya, and he was very tired: "The front-line detectives...really more tired than imagined..."

Kaga was not surprised: "How was the result?"

"Four months ago, someone saw Mr. Aoyagi enshrine a green paper crane at Kasama Inari Shrine."

"There was also someone on my side who saw him photographing blue paper cranes with a digital camera at Chanoki Shrine three months ago."

Kaga walked into the water temple.

"This is the last one. If you find a clue, you will run a hundred times the distance tomorrow."

"what?"

Gao Cheng hurriedly followed up: "Would you like not to go to Xiuwenguan High School to check it?"

"I have come here to worship paper cranes since half a year ago," the abbot, an old white-headed man, explained when he was found. "I have counted them. Every time they are exactly one hundred, and they are placed in a thousand-yuan envelope bag. together."

"Are a hundred paper cranes the same color every time?" Kaga asked.

"It was yellow at the beginning, then green and blue. It's different every month."

"Have you seen anyone who worshipped?"

"No," the abbot shook his head, "he always appears when there are few people..."

After the question, Kaga looked serious.

"Mr. Aoyagi did tell people that going to other shrines is just a way out... It seems that this is where he really wants to come. I will look for it. Origami crane Japanese paper may have been bought nearby."

"Then I will ask other people."

Gao Cheng stayed in the shrine, looking at the pedestrians coming and going.

It would be strange if Takeaki Aoyagi went to the Suiten Palace to pray for a safe delivery. There was no pregnant woman in the Aoyagi family, and there was no need to work so hard. He started visiting the shrine six months ago.

It is better to say...

Gao Cheng walked to the place where prayer objects were sold next to the shrine, and his eyes fell on the hanging price list.

"Water disaster...Is there a prayer for water disaster here too?"

"Of course," said the witch with a smile, "there are many people who pray for children to avoid flooding."

"Sure enough, my feeling is right, the swimming club, the water disaster... Mr. Aoyagi started coming to Nihonbashi six months ago because of this..."

Gao Cheng glanced over the prayer object, took out a photo of Aoyagi Takeming and asked, "Have you seen this person? Hearing from the abbot, it seems that he will come when there are few people."

The witch took the photo and shook her head: "I don't know too well...Excuse me, are you a policeman?"

"This," Gao Cheng said, clutching the back of his head, "Although I am not a policeman, I am assisting the police in their investigation..."

"Ah," the witch said in surprise, "I remember, you are the detective, right?"

"Right."

Gao Cheng put away the photo of Takeaki Aoyagi, and handed out his business card: "I am Kosei Joto, please contact me if you think of anything..."

The maiden happily put away her business card and continued: "Speaking of which, a man named Fuyuki Yashima came here a few days ago and dropped the wishing card..."

"Yachishima Fuyuki?" Gao Cheng was startled, and took out the photo of Yashima. "Is this the person?"

"Well," the maiden nodded, looking at the photo of Yashima, wondering, "Is he really the person mentioned on TV? But is he really a murderer? He doesn't look like that kind of person, so he's completely exposed. I bought a wishing card for 500 yuan and made a wish very seriously..."

"Where's that wishing card?"

"We helped keep it. He doesn't seem to know that the wishing card can be taken home here, so he has been hanging on the tree next to him..."

When he reunited with Kaga again, Gao Cheng had an additional wishing card full of words in his hand, and the signature was indeed Yashima Fuyuki.

"For the child who is about to be born~www.NovelMTL.com~ pray that I can find a job soon..."

"It happened to be the day before the incident," Gao Cheng murmured, "I heard from Miss Zhongyuan that Yashima was very late to go back by tram that day because of no money..."

After reading the wishing card, Kaga took a deep breath and handed Gao Cheng a bag of colored washi: "Mr. Aoyagi really used this washi origami crane, ten colors, starting with the yellow in the middle, yellow, green, and water. Blue, cyan, purple, and finally white, one hundred of each, after praying and taking pictures at other shrines, they were placed in the Suitengu Shrine along with a thousand-yen letter..."

"Water disaster," Gao Cheng said, "Mr. Kaga, in addition to praying for safe deliveries, Shui Tiangong can also pray for relief from water disasters... It really has something to do with Yuto Aoyagi."

Kaga and Gao Cheng walked side by side and nodded affirmatively: "Your intuition is correct. It seems necessary to investigate again."

"Good." A smile appeared on Gao Cheng's face. Although the case was still a bit cumbersome, the feeling of being close to the truth of the incident was particularly strong.

Because Yuto Aoyagi and the teacher seem to be taboo, they don’t even talk about the accidents of the swimming club back then...
