Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 581: Mugure: I'm here

The police arrived at Zhengying’s house not long after. Officer Mumu was surprised that there would be a homicide here. He thought that something happened to Gao Yuanyao. After receiving the report, he set off anxiously and went to see the scene. After arriving at Gao Cheng and the service department, his complexion was particularly wonderful.

"So," Mumu asked Mrs. Zhengying in his throat, "Are anyone jealous or resentful of Master Zhengying? Knowing that Madam lives alone and is familiar with the internal environment of this house, Such a person may commit a very high crime...The notebook of the missing Mr. Zhengying will be invaluable as long as it is used in a magic show. Think about it. Has anyone like this ever been here?"

"My husband is not the kind of person who finds people to resent, but..." Mrs. Zhengying hesitated. "A few days ago, there were several strange guests in succession. First, it was a guest named Gao Yuan Yaoyi, who seemed to know me. About the husband’s notes, another visitor came to the door one day later, saying that his sick father is a fan of my husband. I hope to visit here and ask about Mr. Gao Yuan..."

"Two strange guests?" My eyes lit up, "Do you remember the second guest? What does it look like..."

"It's me, Officer Mumu," Gao Cheng greeted Mumu in confusion, "I just happened to be investigating Gao Yuanyao's affairs? I just pretended to see the situation."

"Yes, yes," Mumu's face blushed, "So the prisoner is the one Gao Yuanyao?"

"It's not Gao Yuan," Gao Cheng concluded directly, "the murderer is among us..."

"what?"

Mrs. Zhengying and Fan Tianli focused their eyes on Gao Cheng at the same time.

"What, what do you mean?"

"Brother Shiroto," Mumu blinked and said, "We have found broken branches in the bushes below, as well as traces of wiping off the footprints, just under the window of Master Zhengying's room..."

"It's just a simple disguise," Gao Cheng smiled lightly, "In fact, the real prisoner stays here all the time. What we see is only what the prisoner wants to show us, just like a magic show, right? , Mr. Xinghe?"

"City households?" He Ye widened his eyes, "but you just said that Mr. Xinghe has been with us..."

"It's true that I was with us when the power went out, but didn't Miss Zhanzi have been killed for more than half an hour? It's enough to set up the scene, including forging the trick of the prisoner to escape through the window..."

"Then what is going on with Miss Zhanzi's body? I can't move it by myself, right?"

"The body has always been here."

Gao Cheng walked past the stinky-faced Hattori: "The murderer was in a hurry. In fact, it is easy to find the problem by carefully investigating the murder weapon at the first crime scene. Everyone is just entangled by the mystery of the sudden appearance of the body. Just solve the puzzle and it's nothing."

"You already know?"

"This is a house built by a magician. If you say that the corridor is so narrow just because you don't understand the building, it really doesn't make sense..."

Gao Cheng walked to Mr. Zhengying's room and opened the door again.

"This door can't be opened completely, but it just forms a 45-degree angle against the wall, and don't you think this door is too thick?"

"This is..." The service department's eyelids jumped, and he rushed to the door. Sure enough, he found that the door was far thicker than normal. There was a vertical seam in the middle of the side of the door. After a little effort, the door was separated from the middle. It becomes an ordinary door close to the inside, and a mirrored door close to the outside. The mirror at the handle of the mirrored door can be moved, that is, it closes to the ordinary door from here.

"Could it be?"

"Yes, it's a mirror reflection."

Gao Cheng took the lead and walked into the room, raising his head to look at the draped curtain on the ceiling.

"The distance between the curtain and the wall, and the curtain just reaches the length of the front wall, the wall wardrobe door like the database door... These are specially designed, will the curtain look like a corridor if you put the curtain down?"

Gao Cheng moved the cabinet with the phone to a floor-to-ceiling window against the wall. After blocking the lower part of the floor-to-ceiling window, Gao Cheng took out a vase with the same shape and pattern as the corridor vase from the cabinet, and finally put down the curtain.

Watching Gao Cheng's movements dumbfounded, another corridor was laid out in a short while.

"Could it be that the fake corridor in the room was launched through a mirror? But can it be done?"

"Of course, don't you know if you try it?" Gao Cheng quit the room and smiled. "These layouts are specially designed by the missing Mr. Masekage to perform magic. They should have been tested countless times. In addition, the corridor light is dim, almost It can be false and true, and you won’t be able to detect it without paying special attention, but there are still shortcomings in the end..."

"Disadvantages?"

"It's the shadow. If the window is not covered, the moonlight will shine at different angles, and the shadow direction will of course be different..."

Gao Cheng opened the mirrored door against the corridor wall. The specially designed mirrored door was immediately connected to the wall and the ceiling. The fake corridor replaced the real corridor and appeared in front of everyone.

"So what we saw was a fake corridor when we came over, and what we saw after the power outage was the real corridor with Miss Zhanzi's corpse. Mr. Xinghe took advantage of us to check the corpse and called the police as an excuse to restore the layout of the room~www .NovelMTL.com~ Gao Cheng said and looked at Mrs. Zhengying: "Madam should know that Mr. Xinghe is the prisoner right away? Because Mr. Masakage has used this place to perform magic before, and there are still photos of that time in the album..."

Mrs. Zhengying faltered away from her sight, and glanced at the silent Star River Tong Wu behind.

"Enough..." Star River Tong Wu lowered his head, "As Detective Jiroto said, I was only on an impulse. If I check blood stains, the evidence should be everywhere. It is completely different from when performing magic..."

"Xinghe?"

"After I heard the exhibition mention the magic of the resurrection of the witch, I immediately learned that it was an idea she copied from the teacher's notes. The magic demon who was banned because it was too dangerous was resurrected..."

"No?" Mumu said silently, "I just wanted to copy the teacher's creativity, so you killed her?"

"She probably didn't know," Mrs. Zhengying explained. "When everyone discussed and decided to give up this magic, my husband had not accepted her as a disciple."

"Yes," Xinghe Tongwu looked back at Zhanzi's corpse. "The lady said that the notebook is in the database to protect me. In fact, the teacher has always carried it with him. 10 years ago, it was because the teacher could not find the notebook. I just went out to look for it and never came back...

"So I thought it was weird, so I called her to the teacher's room..."

"So that's the case," Mumu said with a disappointed expression. "That is to say, didn't Gao Yuanyao instruct you?"

"High and far away?" Xinghe Tongwu said in a daze, "No."

"But why did Gao Yuanyao come here? Do you really just want to read the "Zhengying Notes"?"

Mu Mu took Xinghe Tongwu away with a sorrowful face. Before leaving, he looked at Gao Cheng and his brows twitched.

Please, what are you disappointed in?
