Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 371: Don't run around in the rain

At the site of the Kakuraku Bridge in Osaka, only the long-faced young man Fukushima came back with an umbrella, and the other two have been without news.

"What? Miss Katagiri caught fire all over and fell into the river and died?"

Fukushima learned the news from the police and looked at the corpse covered with cloth beside him in disbelief.

"Why did Miss Katagiri set herself on fire?"

"How did you know that Miss Katagiri set himself on fire?" Gao Cheng interrupted Fukushima with the photo. "No one said that just now, right?"

"This," Fukushima broke out in a cold sweat, "because Mr. Jia Teng set himself on fire, so I thought..."

Gao Cheng didn't ask further, and handed the photo to Fukushima, "Do you know all the people in it?"

It was a group photo, with a bald old man wearing glasses holding a complete dragon scroll in his hand, three young people behind him, and a middle-aged man with big eyebrows and big eyes.

"This is..." Fukushima looked at the photo in surprise, "Aren't the two on the right Mr. Kato and Ms. Katagiri? Although they are very young, the one next to him seems to be Mr. Hirano. I don't know the remaining two. ..."

"Mr. Hirano?"

"It was the initiator of this tour group. We all met on Mr. Hirano's website. Later, we decided to travel together. He also came up with the game, but he didn't show up temporarily before he left..."

"That's it."

Gao Cheng returned the photo to Officer Otaki, and the details in his mind seemed to be connected.

As he thought, the case this time was really not that simple. It wasn't like a dispute over the treasure, but rather like revenge in the scorched corpse case thirteen years ago.

That said, the scorched corpse found a while ago is probably the plain in the photo.

In the past murder cases of magic enthusiasts, the group of people was also contacted through the Internet. The organizer was killed at home before the incident. This time it may not be impossible. After killing Hirano, the murderer borrowed Hirano’s identity to organize activities. ...

Of course, guessing is one thing, and it needs to be verified carefully.

Gao Sung turned his head, but found that Hattori and Conan who had been nearby didn't know when they had disappeared.

"Pingji ran away with Conan just now," He Ye Wei blushed and said blankly, "I think he must already know who the murderer is..."

"what?"

"Because, Heiji's face showed a bright expression again."

He Ye Hong smiled sweetly.

Gao Cheng looked in the direction that Ye said and found that it was the direction of the hotel where the long-faced youth came.

The two Hattori should have gone to the hotel where the tour group stayed to find someone, but will the remaining two people happen to be in the hotel?

After thinking for a while, Gao Cheng turned to Officer Otaki and asked, "Police officer, there should be someone staring at Mr. Badiya? Can you tell me the location of Badiya?"

"Huh?" Otaki's eyes widened in surprise, and he almost asked how Gao Cheng would know.

Gao Cheng smiled and said: "Since the police are prone to startling snakes, why not let me try."

Otaki looked hesitant: "But..."

Gao Cheng said seriously: "It's better than the Hattori team to take risks. Don't worry, I have enough self-protection ability."

"Okay, okay." Otaki looked at the young but convincing Gao Cheng in a daze, and nodded without knowing what was going on.

...

The streets of Osaka are a bit wet and cold due to the rain. Unlike the lively scene of the crime scene, there are hardly a few people on the street.

Hattori and Conan panted and ran to the Seven Guns Hotel where the tour group was staying, and then hurried to the street looking for people. They were anxious to see the old man Zaowu appearing across the road with an umbrella. It was not like going to the castle tower. It's not like going back to the hotel.

Conan immediately took out the earring-shaped phone to call the police, but was stopped by the service department.

"Don't fight," Hattori smiled contemplatively, "the police will be stunned when they come, or they may escape again. Now the door to the truth should be opened only by us!"

"Hey, Hattori!"

Conan didn't have time to stop him and saw Hattori over the railing and chased him up. He had no choice but to keep up.

Just after the two left, a group of tall and fierce figures walked out of the streets and alleys. Many sturdy men with big waists and round physiques exuded a dangerous aura even if they were thin. This will stare at the two figures of Conan and show indifference. Sneer, look at the prey.

The old man Zaowu finally walked into a deserted factory with no people. Following the two Conan Hattori’s tracking, a group of murderous men unhurriedly watched behind. A man in a flowered shirt with a scar was leaning against the outside of the factory. By the side of the disused car, the tall figure resembling a humanoid is full of oppression, with cruel and fierce light in his modest eyes, and dangerous smiles on the faces of the surrounding companions.

Suddenly, the long-haired young man leaning back and watching the wind frowned and looked at the figure walking across the container in doubt.

"Shh, over there." The young man tilted his head and motioned for his companion to look at the incoming person.

At the age of a high school student, with a wooden knife in his hand, he walked over here step by step through the drizzle as if he hadn't seen them...

The young man and his companions looked at each other, with playful faces on their faces and stepped forward to stop the young man: "Boy, didn't your mother tell you not to run around in the rain?"

Gao Cheng stopped, glanced over the young man and the gang behind him, and noticed the faintly bulging gun handle between the opponent's shirt.

It seems that these people are the gangsters contacted by Old Man Huowu...

Fingers tightened slightly, and at the moment the youth approached, Gao Cheng slammed the wooden knife out of his hand, slashing across the youth's body with an afterimage.

"Wh, what?!" The sarcasm on the faces of the murderers suddenly abated, and he looked at Gao Cheng who wielded the wooden knife high, and his expressions changed at the moment when the young man fell straight down, showing Gao Cheng's fierce eyes.

"court death!"

"Smelly boy!"

Almost at the same time as the youth fell to the ground, Gao Cheng lowered his center of gravity and stomped on the puddles swiftly and rushed towards the murderer. Seeing the muzzle of a black pistol pointed at him, he looked like a gust of wind, and he swiped a wooden knife in his hand. An arc passed through the crowd like lightning.

Bang bang bang!

The water droplets burst, as if stagnating for a moment in midair. The next moment all the robbers flew off. As Gao Cheng reaped his sword and fell heavily into the drizzle, he passed out, and the pistol fell to the ground.

...

Inside the abandoned factory, compared with the chaos outside, it is quite calm inside, and only the third floor elevated in the dark environment is faintly lit with fire.

Old man Zaowu climbed to the third floor with a lighter, and immediately saw Wakizaka standing next to a burning barrel with his eyes squinted.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Wakisaka."

"No."

Wakisaka scratched the back of his head, and pointed to the section of the elevated volley.

"The stuff is there, in that box..."

"I see~www.NovelMTL.com~ The old man Zaowu walked to the box Wakizaka said, and found that the light was dim, and the lighter alone couldn't tell what was a lot of things, and there was a flashlight next to it.

"You can use that flashlight for lighting," Wakisaka added, squinting. "It's easy to find the tiger scroll you want..."

"Can't turn on the switch!"

Hattori stepped onto the elevated and reminded with a chuckle, "If you turn on the flashlight, you will be burnt to the black, just like Mr. Kato who was on fire on the roof of the Osaka Castle Castle... I'm right, Wakisaka Mr?"

Zaoya and Wakisaka looked back at Hattori who appeared.

"Could it be that Mr. Kato was..." Zaowu asked in surprise.

"Yes," Hattori looked directly at the silent Wakisaka. "The murderer who killed Mr. Kato and Miss Katagiri one after another was Mr. Wakisaka."
