Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Otakigawa.

Gao Cheng held the branches into the forest and walked hard along the path, still faintly hearing the sound of water.

Fortunately, there is no fork in the road, and you will not get lost when you walk along the mountain road, and there is a street sign in the middle to mark the location.

"There is still 3 kilometers away from the suspension bridge..."

Ko Sung stayed for a while beside the Otaki River, and continued to drag his tired body forward.

The mountain stream is gurgling, the trees on both sides are luxuriant, and you can occasionally see teenagers who enter the mountain to catch insects. If it weren't for the kidnapping, it would be a good place for outings.

At 8:20, Gao Cheng rushed to the agreed place before the scheduled time, and he saw the rope suspension bridge over the Otaki River from afar.

I was sweating all the way, and I still insisted on dragging my numb legs and walking up the suspension bridge, but I didn't see a half-person figure, and I didn't see any hints.

"Puppet! I'm here!" Gao Cheng opened the suitcase and shouted to the other side, "The money you asked for is in my hand! Can you come out now?!"

"Ka Ka!" Only when he walked to the middle, Gao Cheng's heart suddenly raised a warning sign, and as the suspension bridge shook slightly, the rope tying the plank snapped suddenly.

trap? !

Gao Cheng's eyes were tight, and he hurriedly grabbed a piece of rope, but he still fell into the mountain stream along with the broken planks, his suitcase opened wide, and the banknotes were flying in the sky and he couldn't take care of it anymore.

"Boom!"

His body smashed into the mountain stream heavily, except that the pain was more suffocation caused by the choking water, Gao Cheng could only hug the suitcase that was not a life-saving grass as much as possible, and tried to grab the fallen wooden board beside him to save himself.

He vaguely heard the shouting of Officer Mumu while he was unconscious.

"City household brother!"

...

I opened my eyes again and arrived at the hospital, and it was already past 12 noon.

Gao Cheng rubbed his brows, and the scene of falling into the river reappeared in his mind. In the end, Officer Mumu rescued him. As for the clown puppet, he did not appear in the end. I don't know if it was because of the presence of the police or that he didn't intend to appear in the first place. body.

Calm down and think about it, it feels very wrong, it seems to fall into someone's bureau...

But is it necessary for Gao Yuanyao to retaliate against him like this? I feel that the self-esteem of the super-high IQ character is not weak and will not use such low-level methods...

"City household boy," Uncle Maori was standing by the hospital bed, and seeing Gao Cheng sober, he asked in a deep voice, "How do you feel?"

"Uncle?" Gao Cheng discovered the uncle Maori next to him.

"After Police Officer Mumu rescued you, he contacted me by the way." Uncle Maori looked serious at the critical moment. "All the ransom money has fallen into the river. Now the office people are waiting for the puppet call, but there has been no news. Maybe ..."

Gao Cheng remained silent, sat up with his sour body, and his expression was dim when he saw Hui Yuan guarding the door.

Whatever the reason, the ransom is gone, and the kidnappers have no further news. Hayami Reika and agent Anoka are dead or alive...

This bad situation has nothing to do with him.

"Where is Conan?"

"That brat went to the collapsed suspension bridge with Takagi," Uncle Maori said unpleasantly, "Really, I like to run around every time."

"is it?"

Gao Cheng is not in the mood to laugh at Uncle, his mind is full of images of falling bridge.

It was just an accident caused by the ropes of the suspension bridge being too old and broken, but judging from the series of arrangements of the clown puppets, it seemed inevitable, because the other party did not seem to get money at all.

If Conan didn’t help him solve the first puzzle, if he didn’t catch the bus just in time, if he didn’t see the word on the guardrail beside the road, if he didn’t find a message...

Almost the whole process was setting up obstacles for him, and even the final collapse of the suspension bridge did not seem like a coincidence.

On the other side of the Otaki River, the remains of the suspension bridge had been collected on the bank of the river, and Conan followed Takagi to find the broken rope.

It is indeed a natural break, but some of the wooden boards have also done hands and feet. Even if the rope is not broken, Gao Cheng may eventually fall off the bridge.

Conan couldn't help but whisper when he saw this.

It feels really aimed at Gao Cheng...

...

On the afternoon of the 18th, one day passed, but there was still no news about the kidnappers.

After Gao Cheng called Yuanzi, he returned to the Dimu Media Office and continued to wait. The faces of Police Officer Mumu and others were very heavy.

"Still no movement..."

"It's useless to be in a hurry," Uncle Maori smoked, "I think the other party will definitely contact me again. No matter what, is it for money?"

Gao Cheng couldn't say anything, so he nodded and said, "The ransom is ready again."

200 million, this time I owe the Suzuki family a lot of favor, but as long as you save people back, everything is worth it...

"Ring!" The office phone rang just as he said, and Mumu's complexion immediately tightened, putting on the monitor headset and waiting for Gaocheng to answer the call.

Gao Cheng paused, took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Hey……"

"Detective Kioto," said in a weird voice, "I thought you were going to die, you still look very energetic!"

Gao Cheng frowned: "Tell me how to trade next..."

"I'm sorry, the transaction has ended." The voice said indifferently.

"What?!" Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes.

"I killed them yesterday," the voice laughed. "One body was thrown into the depths of the forest, and the other was thrown down from a nearby bridge... Hehe, because you actually called the police, this is for you As punishment, one body has probably been eaten by wild dogs, and the other has sunk to the bottom of the dark and muddy water..."

"Beep..." At the end of the call, only a busy tone echoed in the office.

Mumu took off the monitor headphones with a heavy face, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

"It's over, call all the relevant people over..."

Gao Cheng silently put down the receiver of the phone, and waited until the president of Dimu Media and a group of staff arrived, looking at Mumu to inform the news with regret.

"Be, killed?" Manami Anoka paled, "A liar! How could my husband be killed?!"

"Ms. Angang..."

"It's all you!"

Manami Anoka suddenly caught Gao Cheng hysterically.

"What detective? If they succeed in handing over the ransom to the criminals, they won't have to die! You killed my husband!!"

"Ms. Anoka!" Mumu hurriedly opened Anoka Manami, "Calm down, it was just an accident!"

"Accident?!" Anoka Manami cried, "Well, how come the planks on the bridge loosen? I can't accept this kind of reason! You return my husband!"

Gao Cheng pursed his mouth, gritted his teeth and bowed: "Anyway, I will find the murderer and bet on my career as a detective."

Manami Anoka was startled, leaning on the female makeup artist next to her, choking and crying.

Gao Cheng nodded, and walked aside to take out the photo attached to the kidnapping letter and check it again.

My eyes moved ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and went to the other side to play back the recording in front of the monitoring device.

Mumu stared at Gao Cheng for a while, then nervously asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Gao Cheng played back repeatedly with headphones: "In the depths of the forest... the bridge nearby... he did say that just now."

Mugure touched his chin and thought: "Is the murderer's lair next to the river? But many rivers in Japan have bridges..."

"It's not a river," Gao Cheng said affirmatively. "The river is flowing, and it is rarely described as black and muddy... The place where the body remains is probably a lake!"

"Lake?" Everyone in the office looked at Gao Cheng.

"Yes," Gao Cheng stood up according to the photo in a deep voice, "This photo should be taken after the sun rose on the morning of the 16th, that is, after 5:30, and the threatening letter was found at 8:30 am on the 16th... also In other words, the murderer’s lair is near a lake with a bridge that can be reached within 3 hours!"

Mumu's expression was greatly lifted, and he immediately shouted at Takagi: "Check it now!"
