Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 365: Kendo murder

Gymnasium swimming pool changing room.

Police Officer Otaki of the Osaka Prefectural Police Department went to the scene to deal with the case after receiving the news. This uncle is a subordinate of Police Chief Toyama and Ye's father. He also has a good relationship with Hattori and has a very good personality.

"The deceased's body was chopped with a Japanese sword and there are scars everywhere... The body was wet with hot water, it should be to confuse the estimated time of death..."

Officer Otaki approached the corpse to check the situation. He looked like he had traveled back to ancient times with a Japanese sword. Such cases are really rare...

"Is he your classmate?" Otaki asked back to several college students.

"Yes, yes, we are all college classmates..."

"We waited at the meeting place for a long time without seeing him, so we looked for him everywhere, and it turned out..."

Several college students, like other schools participating in kendo team competitions, are equipped with five people.

The pioneer sees that Atsushi is the dead.

The second frontman, Gu Feng, looks rough and mad, with a big nose and mouth that is very vicious.

The backbone is just a fat man with glasses, and the previous team members helped to persuade him when they quarreled.

Lieutenant Otekawa Jun is a young man with a long face.

The last general, Masatoshi Hakamada, was a tall, short-haired man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Among the few people, he was the kind of leader with a very prestigious role.

"All in all," Otaki picked up the Japanese sword. "If the investigation knows who the owner of this murder weapon is, you will know who the murderer is immediately..."

"Then you are wrong, Officer Otaki." Hattori appeared at the door and interrupted. "That sword is a real sword used by the kendo teacher to demonstrate performance in this kendo competition. I have asked it just now, teacher. Said that the knife disappeared before noon and has not been found."

"Heiji?" Otaki was surprised. "Why are you here?"

"Of course I came here to compete."

"Speaking of which, today is indeed the Kinki Kendo Contest High School and University Division... But shouldn't you be at the competition venue?"

...

"boom!"

At the stadium competition venue, Gao Cheng swung his sword to open the opponent's attack, stepped forward to hit the waistband and scored another point, officially qualifying for the finals.

Although it is somewhat different from actual swordsmanship, this kind of competition is not difficult for him. After all, it is his old line, and the opponent is only high school students. Even in the semi-finals, the intensity of the battle is not high, and it is easy to seize the flaws. solve……

"Great!" He Ye grabbed his fist excitedly, "Even if there is no tie, you can still win! This way the champion..."

"Boom!"

In the next game, Okita suddenly hit the opponent's face with a straight hit. The opponent's mask was also knocked off by a huge force while the bamboo knife was thrown. The player fell heavily on the wooden floor of the game with his legs and feet off the ground. .

One hit to win.

"Kyoto Senshin High School won!!"

There was a tumult in the venue for an instant, and everyone was amazed by Okita's powerful aura. The spike kills and still appeared in the semi-finals, and the eyes of the girls who approached became heart-shaped.

"So handsome!"

Okita sighed and let out a sigh of relief, took off his mask and wiped his sweat, turned his eyes to Gao Cheng, who had not taken off his mask on the side court, and smiled lightly.

He Ye swallowed, and when he looked at Gao Cheng, he became a little unconfident.

"No, I can't beat him at this level..."

"what?"

"I'll get Pingci back!" He Ye anxiously said, "There is no way, I will lose if Pingci is not here..."

"Do you know where the Hattori is?" Gao Cheng stared at He Ye and ran away.

The final was approaching, and Gao Cheng couldn't chase He Ye. He looked at the Okita General Secretary who was still preparing in the rest area, and hurriedly pulled over a high school student who seemed to be coming from an annex.

"Did something happen around here?"

"I don't know, but it seems that a policeman went to the swimming pool locker room just now..." the high school student said dumbly, clutching the back of his head.

"Policeman?" Hattori Heiji's stinky face appeared in Gao Cheng's mind. "Then have you seen a dark-skinned guy?"

"Yes, besides him, there are three weird college students running around, borrowing mobile phones, and bringing the police over..."

...

Swimming pool changing room.

Gao Cheng squatted at the scene of the crime to check, then picked up the murderous knife and took a look.

After returning the protective gear to the Gaofang High School, he found the police officer Otaki who was in charge of the case, but he did not see Hattori and Yeh. He wanted to make a call and found that his cell phone was left there.

Over there...

Although the kendo finals are hard to come by, let's wait until later and meet Okita Souji.

Gao Cheng felt a little regretful. After a pause, he asked Officer Otaki: "Has the body ever been moved?"

"Yes, I moved here from the sports warehouse in the annex," Police Officer Otaki had a good impression of Gao Cheng, and explained carefully, "The first person who found the dead in the warehouse was Otegawa and Noodles who participated in the university kendo club with him. The three of Hekoukou...The three of them immediately left the warehouse after they found the dead. They called for an ambulance, called the police, and notified the main general Hakamada who was at the venue. When they returned to the warehouse, the body suddenly disappeared... "

"Here in the locker room?"

"Well, I heard someone called the service desk and told them to come here."

"How specific?" Gao Cheng thoughtfully asked, "Could it be that one of the three of them pretended to leave and then returned to the warehouse to remove the corpse?"

"This should be impossible," Otaki smiled. "At that time, only the student at the entrance to Otegawa who called the ambulance borrowed the mobile phone, and then returned to the warehouse to confirm the situation because the other party asked about the injury, and after returning the mobile phone, he went directly. The police station..."

Gao Cheng's expression moved slightly: "Actually, I also heard a student who happened to be eating lunch at the door. It was said that after the three of them left, a weird man in protective gear walked out of the annex carrying a protective gear bag... that Otekawa Didn't you notice anything?"

Otaki was stunned: "No, maybe the other party was in the toilet or hiding in the warehouse... But then, this weird man is likely to be the murderer who carried the corpse, Joto-kun, the student who witnessed it. ?"

"He should come later."

Gao Cheng frowned.

According to the current clues, is the person who moved the corpse other than the three who originally found the corpse? If there are no accomplices, the other party is the murderer who killed Seeing, but...

"Officer Otaki, when the body was found, how did they decide who to call the ambulance?"

"Well, it seems that Otegawa first said to call an ambulance, and then asked Miangu to report the incident to the police station in front of the gymnasium. The last remaining carcass said he was going to notify the Hakamada...should there be no problem?"

"There are a few doubts."

Gao Cheng turned his head to look at the corpse that was carried away by the police officer, his eyes condensed slightly.

"The prisoner moved the body when the body was found, and even called someone to come over. It may be that the murderer didn't want the warehouse to be searched. There should be clues that could not be found... Use hot water to shower the body. Confused about the time of death?"

"Officer Otaki!" Hattori rushed into the locker room suddenly, "Where are the few people?"

"They have already left first," Otaki said happily, "Heiji, you came just right, and Detective Kioto said that there might be clues in that warehouse..."

"Huh?" Hattori stared at Gao Cheng behind Otaki, "You, why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Gao Cheng said silently, "Still thinking about how someone would not go to a good kendo match. After asking, it turned out that a case happened... He Ye is still looking for you, hurry up and go back to the match. Right."

"Please, let me go to the game now."

Hattori brows knotted.

Kendo matches can be lost, but this case cannot be lost...

"I really don't understand you," Gao Cheng looked at the Hattori strangely, and continued to say to Officer Otaki. "Officer, call all those college students back first, especially the one named Otekawa..."

Hattori was dumbfounded for an instant: "Kioto, have you...have figured it out?"

Gao Cheng confusedly said, "Is there any problem?"

"No, no, haha," Hattori smiled and pointed outside with a guilty conscience, "Actually I already know where the prisoner will go..."

...

Outside the gymnasium, a black figure carrying a protective gear bag, looked around, and walked into the annex pretending to be an ordinary student. After stepping into the warehouse, he opened the protective gear bag and took out a bottle of water and one with blood. The towel with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Confirming that there was no one outside, Sombra poured some water on the towel and smeared it on the box in the middle of the warehouse.

This is the place where the corpse was found, as long as the blood is smeared...

"It's useless, no matter how much you cover up, the dead won't look like they were killed here, classmate Otegawa."

Hattori suddenly walked out from behind with Gao Cheng and Otaki police officer. Two police officers in the corner were also disguised, and the dark shadows looked surprised.

"Police, police officer," Otekawa held the towel stiffly, "how could you..."

Otaki said with a sullen face: "Can I trouble you to explain? What's the matter with this **** towel?"

"I'm just……"

"It's better for me to help you."

Hattori smiled and looked at Otegawa.

"The deceased was not killed here, but in the locker room next to the swimming pool... After you saw the blood covered Chuan, you left the warehouse together, and then you went back alone and asked Chuan to go to the locker room, and then in Killed him in the locker room, am I right?"

Otegawa was sweating profusely: "Haha, we all left the warehouse by chance. If someone stays, won't I be in trouble?"

"It's not a coincidence," Hattori affirmed. "At that time, you asked Miangu to report the incident at the police station, and it was destined that no one would stay here. Because of his personality, he would definitely tell Hakamada about something, and he was very afraid of seeing blood, so I will definitely not get close to the corpse, and I won’t find that Shuijing actually fell asleep after drinking wine mixed with sleeping pills. The body was stained with red pigment, so it looked like he was dead..."

Hattori walked to Otekawa and pressed one hand on the jump box.

"The light in this warehouse is very dark, so the red paint can easily be mistaken for blood..."

"If a guy covered in paint leaves the annex, isn't it easy to be seen by the students at the door?" Otekawa interrupted.

"What if a person wearing a protective gear and carrying a protective gear bag goes out?"

"Please, don't you mean that guy is seeing you? Why did you listen to me and make that virtue to go to the locker room?"

"It's not okay to just say that to him verbally..."

Hattori forcefully opened the lid of the jump box, revealing a tall figure wearing a protective gear covered with red paint, and the name of Hakamada on the waistband. At first glance, people think that Hakamada was killed and hidden in the body. Here.

"What happens if a drunk person sees this thing? When you return here alone, let the sleeping man hold a Japanese sword, then wake him up and let him see you hidden in the jump box beforehand. This dummy... I see that he usually said that he would kill Hakamada. In addition, he was not awake with alcohol, and his body was full of "blood". He couldn't tell the truth from the false. I mistakenly thought he killed Hakamada. , It’s not surprising to do as you say...

"You let Shuijian put on his protective gear, then change the kendo uniform with blood on his body, put it in a protective gear bag with the murder weapon, and take it to the locker room. The purpose is to virtualize another prisoner and make people think it's someone else. Take the protective gear bag with the corpse back out of the annex..."

Gao Cheng stood behind watching the Hattori reasoning, and wiped his nose.

Hattori is playing such an important kendo match in order to solve the case, let him show the limelight.

However, the case happened before Conan came, and it was really rare to solve it so early.

"What's the motive?" Gao Cheng looked at Otekawa who looked gloomy after the truth had been revealed, "Are you classmates? Is there any hatred to kill?"

"What hate?" Otekawa grinned, "You're Okita from Quanxin High School, right? So the one next to him is the Hattori... I'm really convinced, I didn't even play in the finals and came to this place. Play a detective game..."

"He was a detective!" Hattori said amusedly. "You can see clearly, he is not Okita, but the famous detective Takasaki Kioto!"

"Detective?"

"I heard that Seeing seems to have threatened you~www.NovelMTL.com~ because of this?" Gao Cheng continued to ask.

Although competitive kendo is used for competition, it does not mean that it cannot be used in actual combat. It is also very lethal after being replaced with a real sword. This Otekawa may be because of killing a person, and his eyes flicker with a vaguely killing intent. The breath is particularly obvious in Gao Cheng's eyes.

It's a nasty breath...

It was a bit like the enemies he had cut on the battlefield of Gintama.

"I have called and asked about the university they are attending," Hattori looked straight at Otegawa and said, "I heard that the Kendo Club of your school had an incident where a new member died during practice last year. The school said it was an accident, but... …"

"That's because I missed the death of a new member during the welcome," Otekawa lowered his head. Although there was a real knife in the protective gear bag, he didn't have the courage to do it. He said honestly, "but he said that although people were killed , But the experience of us and the club who were present that day are all accomplices, so if it is exposed, we will drag us into the water together..."
