Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 426: Hinamatsuri dolls four

"Sorry, I've been weird since just now..."

Fatty Jinqu couldn't help asking, "Who is this young man? I always feel familiar..."

Mie squinted his eyes next to him: "Could it be the famous town detective?"

"That's right!" Bu Mei said boldly, "Cito is a famous detective who can solve any incident. If you steal the scroll, please admit it!"

"Huh?" The fat man stammered profusely, "Just, even so, I really didn't steal the picture!"

"But only the uncle is the most suspicious, and there is no alibi!" Mitsuhiko's expression turned to Gao Cheng affirmatively, "Right, Brother Joto?"

Gao Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.

"Mr. Jinqu is indeed the most suspicious person, but the criminal shouldn't be him..."

"Ah? Isn't it?" Mitsuhiko looked disappointed, "Who is it that stole the scroll?"

Gao Cheng looked at the silent old woman on the side, paused, and said under the gaze of everyone: "There are two suspicious points. Although the living room and bedroom have been turned over, they are not high, and they stayed a little bit higher. Over...the other are these Hinamatsuri dolls."

"What's wrong with the doll?"

"Look carefully, is there a change from the previous one?"

Gao Cheng took the camera and called up the photos he had previously taken.

"The positions of the emperor and the queen are reversed, and the positions of the other 13 dolls are somewhat different..."

"Really, really!" Bu Mei leaned to the camera screen.

"So?" Xiao Ai looked at the wall where the scroll was originally hung. "You want to say that the prisoner accidentally touched the shelf when he took the hanging scroll and knocked the doll off, and then put the doll in the wrong place when he re-placed it?"

"I see!" Mitsuhiko said excitedly, "The prisoner is someone who doesn't know how to put the dolls, so obviously it is Mr. Jinqu. He said that he has no daughter so he is not interested in dolls..."

Gao Cheng laughed and said: "The only thing wrong is the position of the emperor and the queen. If you want to re-arrange so many dolls in a few minutes, unfamiliar people can't do it... In fact, the position of the emperor and the queen is just different from before. , I don’t know if there is any error, maybe it’s another way of putting it..."

"Brother Kioto is right," Conan interrupted. "This arrangement should be the traditional arrangement in Kyoto, right, old woman?"

The old man lightly closed his eyes: "There are indeed a lot of people in Kyoto who do this..."

The housewife Guanye looked at the old man worriedly: "Mom..."

"Hello," the fat man said in surprise, "could it be that the prisoner is really the old lady herself?"

"I can't talk about prisoners," Gao Cheng continued, "but it is indeed the old woman who hid the scrolls...Mr. Mie is an expert, and he can see that these are dolls from Kyoto. Obviously he also knows the traditional arrangement, but he and Mrs. Kanye has seen Stepme’s pose, and there is no need to change it specially, and they don’t have time to do these things. The only thing that can be done is a self-directed and self-acted old woman..."

"Where is the scroll?" Jin Qu looked at the doll stand on the seven-story stairs, "How could the old lady knock down this table?"

Gao Cheng didn't answer directly: "Remove all these dolls first... The dolls are not actually knocked over while escaping. Mother-in-law will re-place the dolls. You will know by opening the red felt..."

"this is……"

Jin Qu helped remove the dolls and lifted the red carpet on the steps. They were all startled by the scrolls spread out and hidden under the red carpet.

"It turns out that it's so hard to see this painting without removing all the dolls... How did you know?"

"This is because the dolls placed on the thin scroll wood are slightly tilted forward. The thick scroll wood can be placed on top and covered with red felt, but the thin wood cannot..."

Gao Cheng silently looked at the silent old man: "But it's still hard to detect. My mother-in-law probably wants to wait for the police to come and search, and then secretly put away the doll while packing up."

"But," Kanye looked weakly at the hanging scroll spread out on the shelf, "How could mother do such a thing..."

Jin Qu said, "Do you really want to pretend that the scroll was stolen and get insurance money?"

"I don't know how to do things that are condemned by the heavens..."

The old man was a bit older, and looked at Thor's hanging scroll quietly: "Because this scroll is the patron saint of Kanye Family, I did this to hide it, and wait until my son comes back to take a look... Kanye Family can no longer repeat my past mistakes..."

"error?"

"The other Fengshen scrolls in Mr. Jinqu's collection are actually the same as Thor's scrolls. They were found in my husband's warehouse. But when my son and his wife had no money to buy a house when they got married, I sold Fengshen. Tell me the husband who took the company trip..."

The old man carried his hands on his back and said melancholy: "Who knew that the passenger ship my husband was riding in sank? The big typhoon they encountered was like a wind god..."

Jin Qu's tongue trembled: "Then, that Fengshen is a cursed scroll?"

"There is no curse," the old man shook his head. "Isn't it always like this? The doll is placed next to the child's pillow to eliminate the doom Zog substitute. Perhaps these two paintings also replaced our Guanyejia with the disaster that came to us. ...So please don't interfere with this Thor's scroll, we won't sell it."

"Uh...haha," Jin Qu waved his hand sweating profusely, "I only have Fengshen, just as I haven't said..."

Hearing the words, the old man let go of his thoughts, silently glanced at the room, and turned to Gao Chengdao: "Cito Detective, this is causing you trouble, now take me to the police station..."

"Why are you going to the police station?" Gao Cheng shook his head and smiled. "Mother-in-law is just a joke. Besides, I'm not a policeman. I'm just a passerby detective who wants to drink sweet wine... After so long, I feel hungry. Up."

The old man was stunned~www.NovelMTL.com~The folds on his face were separated: "I'll cook for you right away."

...

At the entrance of the stairs on the 6th floor, Xiao Ai hugs his arms, leaning on the side lightly like a small adult, with a slightly sentimental smile on his expression.

The afterglow of the setting sun is facing down on the steps. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the entire sky at sunset. The houses and streets are stained red, like a world of blood.

This sad color can be seen several times...

"Sometimes the sunset is also very beautiful, right?" Gao Cheng walked to the sunset and looked towards the sky, "Xiao Ai, Bu Mei didn't want those Hinamatsuri dolls, or..."

Xiao Ai turned her head away: "No, I'm not a kid anymore."

Bumei brought the camera and Yuantai over, and saw Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai standing in the sunset, pursing her lips and saying, "Brother Shiroto, classmate Huiyuan, let's take pictures together again."

"it's here?"
