Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 677: The Missing Weapon II

   "Kito Detective," the police officer asked, "Are these all yours?"

   "Well, check the inside again to see if there is any possibility of hiding the weapon."

   Gao Cheng didn't mean to prevent the police from investigating, although finding the murder weapon would cause a lot of trouble.

   To be honest, despite the name of a famous detective, the Gunma prefectural police can still ignore him. Not all police officers are rare detectives, and his special adviser status is only valid in Tokyo.

   Since he can have the current respectful treatment, he also needs to be self-aware.

   "Wow!"

   The heavy rain is still falling. Except for the footprints, many traces have been washed away, such as blood stains, which caused some trouble to the police.

   After a few police officers searched the camping luggage and found nothing, they brought saw blades and machete to perform luminol reaction test for blood stains. Gao Cheng's focus was placed on the hammer that seemed to have nothing to do with the case.

   This is a new hammer that I bought to pierce the tent, but there are already inconspicuous scratches on it.

   It’s just that I really don’t see what it has to do with the case...

   The living room of the house is not just Gao Cheng’s tools for camping. The police also asked everyone to take out all the knives, including the kitchen knives, shovel, sickle, axe, and scissors that the Tanaka family originally had.

   As for the temperamental men, they didn't bring anything, and they found nothing after searching.

   "Well," Yamamura watched the blood test carried out by his subordinates, and smelled it to the old woman, "Is there really only these?"

   "There is also my grandson's toolbox in the warehouse, but it may be rusty..."

   "But I heard that there is also a sharp kitchen knife with a red handle, right?"

   "It's just that the child was sleepy and misunderstood," the old woman denied with her hands behind her back. "I don't know any red handle kitchen knife. It's probably because the child has been thinking about Granny Mountain Demon and was so scared that she misunderstood."

   "Really?" Yamamura looked at Gao Cheng uncertainly, and grinned bitterly, "It's always me. It's better to investigate this house thoroughly. Please wait here first..."

   "Go to the warehouse first...Where is the warehouse?"

   "It's over there in the kitchen."

Conan got rid of Bumei and followed several police officers to the warehouse. Gao Cheng looked at the active Conan, but did not follow. Instead, he silently looked at the temperament male Andalai who had his head down and didn’t know what he was thinking. The long-haired male Kabara is elegant.

  Ms. Akane’s body has been taken away by the police, and the neck wound should be further examined, at least to determine what kind of murder weapon it is, but there will be no results in a short time.

   Gao Cheng thought about the situation at the time of the crime.

   Since there are no other footprints, the only person who can commit the crime is indeed the Andalai. The most suspicious place is the shoes. Starting

In a hurry, Conan stepped on the sneakers and rushed out, but at that time Andalai's shoes were well dressed. They were obviously high-top shoes, but even the laces were meticulously tied up. Finally, when they returned to the house, they were still fine. It took a while to untie the laces and take off the shoes.

   But this problem comes again. Judging from the shoes, the Andarai people don’t have time to go back to the house to hide the weapon...

   Gao Cheng closed his eyes slightly, and flashed through the situation at the time of the crime in his mind.

  If the murder weapon can be hidden on the body, the Andarai people may have to deal with the murder weapon as an excuse to wash their hands...

   "Brother Joto," Mitsuhiko was afraid to keep a distance from the old woman, "I really saw it with my own eyes, there really is a sharp red handle kitchen knife..."

   "The police have already looked for it."

   "But is that mountain village police officer really reliable?"

   "Sneez!" There are several cabinets in the warehouse of Tanaka's house, and there are also a lot of boxes. The high places are full of dust, and the mountain village just entered the warehouse and couldn't help but sneezed.

   "Let's find the toolbox of that old woman and grandson first." The mountain village ordered confidently.

"Yes."

   Conan walked behind the detective and stopped after passing a cabinet, and found that there were many wooden boxes tied with rope on the top of the cabinet. One of the boxes looked much cleaner.

   "Uncle Yamamura," Conan said, "There seems to be very little dust on the box. Could it have been just taken down?"

"This," the mountain village looked around and smiled at the wooden box. "Don't you think there is a murder weapon hidden inside? I don't think it will. No prisoner would put a murder weapon in such an eye-catching paulownia box. It’s tightly tied with a rope..."

   "But it's very strange."

   "Mountain village police officer," Gao Cheng just walked into the warehouse, "open it first. I believe Mitsuhiko is not lying. The thing about the red sharp kitchen knife should be true."

   Shancun stunned: "So the old woman killed someone?"

   "A knife doesn't necessarily kill someone."

   Gao Cheng watched the detective remove the paulownia box, and after opening it, he took out a red-handled kitchen knife wrapped in newspaper.

   "Really!" The detective handed the kitchen knife to the mountain village in surprise.

"It's very similar to the kitchen knife my mother-in-law used." The mountain village took the kitchen knife and placed it under the light to check. "The blade has no gaps at all. It seems to have been maintained, and the surface is still coated with oil... But why did the old woman hide it? What about this kitchen knife? I was sharpening the knife in the kitchen less than 4 o'clock. It is still suspicious!"

   Gao Cheng's gaze fell on the name engraved on the back of the knife.

   "Syota"...

   This knife should be the kitchen knife of the grandmother and grandson Xiangta.

   "Anyway," Yamamura said with a headache~www.NovelMTL.com~ Let's test the luminol reaction first..."

  ……

   "What? No rumillo reaction?"

   The porch living room of Tanaka's house, the village was completely distressed, and his face turned blue again.

"Everyone, none of the knives have detected any traces of blood attached, and when everyone rushed to the side of Miss Da Ting Qian who was screaming because of the carotid artery cut, no one had left this home... There is only one possibility. Is the prisoner really the mountain witch?!"

   "Mr. Police Officer, please, how could there be any mountain enchantress?" Kawara Fuya said helplessly, "But this way, at least it means that we are innocent?" First issue https://https://

   "This, you still need your confession as a reference for future investigations," said Yamamura angrily, "so I will trouble you to come to the police station another day..."

   "I don't think there should be another day."

   Gao Cheng stood by the fish tank sink with his hands in.

   "The prisoner and the weapon are still here..."

"what?"

   Yamamura Cao wondered: "Detective Kioto, we have already investigated carefully, and indeed we have found nothing..."

   "Of course I can't find it, because the murder weapon that killed Miss Akane was not a knife from the beginning, but a sharp weapon that can be used as a knife..."

   Gao Cheng regained his consciousness and faced everyone.

   "And it's always under our noses..."
