Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 612: Reasoning, the evil spirits retreat

"To be sure, there is another person on the third floor."

Gao Cheng returned to Conan and continued to check in the fat housekeeper's room.

Conan can't solve the puzzle for the time being, but he is not much better.

Although I have a bit of an impression of the Buddha's extinction incident, I didn't expect to think of anything. After so long, I never remembered the complete technique in advance, and I almost always rely on my own collection of clues for deductive reasoning.

Just after getting the detective card system, he also has the ability to conduct name reasoning.

The only advantage over Conan is the reasoning method he learned, and the intuition formed by watching the "Conan" series...

Gao Cheng's thoughts fluttered.

The collection of clues this time was quite limited, but it was not without gain. After bringing the criminals' perspective, he almost had some idea of ​​this case.

Back to square one.

The origin of the incident came from the revenge of the accident 13 years ago. The criminal claimed to be "the soul of the fifth person." Since the death of Buddha two years ago, spiritual incidents have occurred one after another, which caused the heart disease of Guoyou Chunda, one of the three survivors, to become more and more serious. And since then, every time before the Buddha's extinction, he would go to Guoyou's house and have a close relationship with Guoyou couple.

Considering that the three people were all survivors of the accident 13 years ago, they may have colluded to conceal the truth of the accident that year, so they were overly sensitive to what happened in the Buddha's extinction day.

One of the doubts is that only 4 people were known to have been killed in the accident that year. They were all relatives of a few fat butlers, including maids, cooks, drivers, and a brother who happened to be together. The fifth person’s statement cannot be explained.

Then there was the death of Sekiguchi. The four butlers who had no alibi were excluded from the prisoners because of their quirks.

If the murderer is not trying to confuse people, he just doesn't want these people to be regarded as murderers.

The suspicious point of the death of the pass is how the prisoner entered the 3rd floor. Only a few people from Guoyou’s family can ring the doorbell. To be precise, it is the fat butler, because the few maids who were recruited recently did not register their fingerprints, and at that time You can only open the door at the gate on the 3rd floor.

In the second case, the murderer entered the 3rd floor again after the police took fingerprints and asked the confession. This time, Guoyou Chunda opened the door, that is, the deceased in the second case. He seemed to trust the murderer quite a bit, and finally did not know where he was. The prisoner saw something when he opened the door and died of a heart attack.

"right here……"

Gao Cheng finished watching the fat butler who fits the characteristics of a perfectionist, and paused when he left.

Guoyou Chunda, who even the police did not trust, put the murderer into the third floor with confidence, and listened to the tone of the last call, as if he was about to talk to the murderer, so Mrs. Guoyou waited.

After the gate was killed, Guoyou Chunda trusted the most except the Guoyou wife who went to the hospital together...

There is only Mian Yin as a driver.

The two who possessed an alibi are indeed more trustworthy than the police in the eyes of Guoyou Chunda.

As for the alibi, if it were two people, Mianyin's younger brother had survived 13 years ago...

Gao Cheng raised his head slightly, and while his thoughts were running fast, massive pictures flashed in his mind, leaving only two pictures in the end.

When Mian Yin first arrived at Guoyou's home to change his schedule, and when he drove Guoyou's wife to the hospital in the evening, two moments of Mian Yin clearly appeared in front of Gao Cheng's eyes.

Mian Yin, who has been wearing gloves, usually only drives or writes to take off his gloves. It is also these two moments. The second time Mian Yin has a scar on his left hand for a long time...

"It's a curse! It must be a curse!!" The wife of Guoyou who was questioned on the third floor suddenly made a horrified voice, "Sure enough, this house is occupied by evil spirits!"

"Mrs. Guoyou?"

Gao Cheng and Conan returned to the third floor strangely, and saw Mrs. Guoyou squatting holding her head in fear, looking very excited.

"what's happenin?"

"Detectives of the city and the city," Shantou Henggou was also scared, his face turned pale, and his cold sweat broke out. "The identification results have come out. Fingerprints have been found on the ropes and medicine bottles, but they are with everyone in the family. The fingerprints are all inconsistent, they are fingerprints that cannot be identified..."

"Unknown fingerprint?"

"How is this possible?" The fat butler stared, his voice trembling, "How did the prisoner get through that door? Is it really an evil spirit?"

"This one……"

Henggou swallowed, the entrance door on the third floor is indeed only for people from Guoyou’s house to ring the doorbell, and Guoyou Chunda opened the door personally. Even if the prisoner colluded with someone from Guoyou’s house and entered the third floor, there was no chance to go out. .

No suspicious person was found on the entire third floor...

"The only thing that can be asserted is that the prisoner is an unknown person other than us, and he appeared in front of Mr. Guoyou in a very unbelievable way, and then disappeared from the third floor..."

Henggou’s eyes sweated: “According to the report of the Identification Division, other balconies and windows on the third floor are not used frequently, so from the dusty state, there is no trace of being used by prisoners. If Conan’s testimony is credible, The prisoner did not use a rope to escape... I am afraid that only evil spirits can do it..."

"Sure enough, those people are causing trouble," Mrs. Guoyou completely turned into a poor worm, completely devoid of the noblewoman's temperament, clutching her face in horror, "It has nothing to do with me..."

Gao Cheng had a headache and looked at the panicked woman: "Madam..."

"Detective Jodo!"

Mrs. Guoyou saw Gao Cheng, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and said happily: "You must have a way? I will give you all the commission fee, and double the commission, as long as it can save me..."

"I'm sorry, Detective Joto," the fat butler said helplessly, "the old friend Mr. Sekiguchi and the master were killed one after another, the wife suffered too much..."

The housekeeper supported Guoyou's wife and asked Henggou: "Police officer, if you have any questions, can you ask me later? Everyone is very sleepy..."

"At least we know that the prisoner is a foreigner, can we go back to the room to rest first? It's almost 3 o'clock..."

"That's what I said," Henggou said, looking at the time, slightly tired, "but I still have to arrange for the police to be at your door, in case something happens again."

"it is good……"

"I still have a few questions." Gao Cheng stopped the people from Guoyou's family who wanted to leave, and looked at the trembling wife of Guoyou. "Is there really only 4 people killed 13 years ago? Madam, don't you know me? I can't help you either."

"I...I don't know," Mrs. Guoyou opened her mouth in fear, shaking more severely, "I don't know anything..."

"Even if the wife doesn't say it, I can probably guess it."

Gao Cheng glanced over Mrs. Guoyou.

"In addition to the 4 people from the Guoyou family who were killed, I am afraid that there is another person who was killed before the shipwreck... I have asked someone to investigate why I got on the ship at the pass 13 years ago, although specific information is needed. I went to the Kanagawa Yokohama police, but the former president of Sekiguchi disappeared at that time. It is true that Sekiguchi has replaced the former president since then..."

"Huh?" Mrs. Guoyou looked at Gao Cheng in a daze.

"I've been wondering that Mr. Sekiguchi came here after receiving the'Fifth Soul' threat card last year, so Sekiguchi cares about the fifth party."

Gao Cheng walked calmly in front of everyone.

"If Mr. Sekiguchi participated in a sea trip 13 years ago to deal with corpses, the fifth soul would be able to match, and the four people who died that year should have survived, and they knew about the corpse thrown at Sekiguchi..."

"Speaking of Yokohama," Yokozo said, "My brother is at the Kanagawa Police Headquarters, maybe you can ask."

"It really has nothing to do with me," Mrs. Guoyou stared at Gao Cheng blankly, almost crying after she recovered, "I don't even know, it was Mianyin's brother who discovered it! The ship suddenly broke down, Mianyin My brother dived and found that the propeller was entangled in a bag. He also said that there were human hands in the bag..."

"Is it really throwing a corpse?" Henggou said in surprise.

"Of course I don't know," Mrs. Guoyou shrank. "When my brother Mianshit told us, Mr. Mianyin suddenly pushed aside the boat to accelerate the boat, but the boat overturned and everyone fell in. Nautical miles..."

"You said before that you were woken up by the gate while sleeping in the cabin..."

"That's because... Sekiguchi only saved me and my husband, and then threatened us, saying that we were helpless accomplices..."

Mrs. Guoyou emphasized in the sight of everyone: "At that time, there was only one inflated lifeboat. I originally planned to call for help first, but he... he told us to remain silent, saying that other people would not survive anyway. These years Guankou also asked for a lot of money from us..."

"Let's talk about this later."

Gao Cheng saw that Mrs. Guoyou didn't look like a lie, and he suddenly understood.

"No matter what the truth was 13 years ago, you can't hide it anymore. Now the key is to find out the perpetrator of this case. The perpetrators who killed Guankou and Mr. Guoyou one after another are still hiding on the third floor..."

"The murderer is still on the 3rd floor?" Henggou stunned, "but we have already looked for it, and no suspicious person was found..."

"Really didn't find it?"

Gao Cheng met the eyes of the fat butler again.

"The police are not all involved in the search, are they?"

"Detective Kioto, are you suspicious of us?" the housekeeper Shigeko dissatisfied, "Can we still hide the murderer?"

Henggou smiled bitterly: "I just let them follow. If there are suspicious characters, I can't fail to see..."

"How about searching again?" Gao Cheng interrupted directly, "but it's different from before, this time the Henggou police officer will be at the end."

"Is there any difference?"

"Of course, sending more policemen over can also find the prisoner. This is just more convenient."

Gao Cheng stood at the door of the bedroom and looked at the other rooms with a smile: "Let’s start with the study next door. Let’s find out the murderer, or the murderer himself, another Mr. Mianyin..."

"What, what do you mean?"

Henggou was completely confused about the situation. In doubt, the study room next door suddenly opened by themselves, and a young man who was exactly the same as Mian Yin pouted and appeared in front of everyone.

"Keep the change, please……"

"What's the matter?" Henggou stared, "Two or two Mian Yin?"

"Just like you, Officer Henggou, twins."

Gao Cheng breathed out softly from the bottom of his heart.

There are not enough clues, and he can't be completely sure that the twins committed the crime until the last moment, but he didn't run away...

"Mr. Mianyin's habit of taking notes was really two years ago, that is, after the car braking accident. If the two brothers who recorded big and small things were shared, they could take turns to play the role of Mianyin at Guoyou's house, reducing the number of crimes being dismantled. The possibility..."

Gao Cheng looked at the twins who were almost identical.

"The same is true for the wall calendar in Mr. Mianshiki's room. It is full of schedules, and two of them take turns writing, because the circle drawing method in front of the schedule will be different depending on the date, and the frequency of alternation has gradually increased since two years ago. , The purpose should be for this crime, I think the unknown fingerprint should be left on purpose by the younger brother, right?

"The younger brother sent Mr. Guoyou and his wife to the hospital to make an alibi, and then the elder brother found an opportunity to open the gate on the 3rd floor through the fingerprint recognition machine, thereby killing the gate. The reason why he was hung on the balcony railing was to prevent the other people from being suspected. ...

"The purpose of making an alibi is also to gain the trust of Mr. Guoyou~www.NovelMTL.com~ because for Mr. Guoyou, the one who was with him at that time was the least suspected security figure..."

Gao Cheng paused, he no longer needed to continue reasoning, and the performance of the twins could be seen without any excuse.

"Go to the police station to talk about the rest."

"But," Henggou came back to his senses, "I didn't see anyone on the third floor before..."

"Because Mr. Mianshiki walks behind everyone when he enters the room or leaves, as long as he stays in the first room where the accomplice was hiding, and then the accomplice in the next room can finally get into the crowd because they are identical twins. Find."

"What happened to the Buddha's extinction?" Bo Hua was still a little unacceptable, "The sinking ship is obviously the day of Da'an on September 29..."

"Because 13 years ago, October 4th happened to be the day when the Buddha died, that is, the day when the master asked the police to terminate the search operation..."

Mian Yin lowered his head and looked at Gao Chengdao: "So the master himself has always cared about this day. It is just a coincidence that nightmares and brake failures of the car are just coincidences. I also find it strange that I didn't recover my memory until I met my brother who had lost his memory for many years. The younger brother knows the truth..."

"Yes," another Mian Yin said. "I swam to the shore and lost my memory after I was saved. I only remembered when I met my brother two years ago."

Mianyin's expression is complicated: "Detective Kioto, although it may be a bit late now, I still want to trouble you for a favor. At least I have to prove the evil deeds committed by the guy at Sekiguchi..."

"Guankou?" Gao Cheng looked at the twins for a while and nodded, "Yes."

It's another loss-making business, but investigating the pass is just a matter of passing...
