Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 700: Lucia Doll Murder Case

In Hokkaido, Koji Takara personally drove Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai into the depths of the mountains. The heavy fog between the mountains made people a little uneasy. Fortunately, the roads were still clearly visible.

   Gao Cheng held a note with a poetic code in his hand, and looked at Xiao Ai, who was holding his arms and closed his eyes and took a nap.

   "Isn't it just a job? I even asked for leave..."

   "Anyway, it's all simple knowledge from elementary school," Xiao Ai raised her eyelid, "It doesn't matter if we don't go to class..."

   Is this the reason to skip class for a week?

   Gao Cheng reluctantly continued to study the code.

   Xiao Ai is indeed a little better than him in terms of secret codes, but you can't tell from these sentences alone, you have to visit Hokkaido in person.

   But then again, what exactly is the well-known mystery writer thinking? Don’t you know that setting up such a challenge is easy to cause trouble?

   Still, it was deliberate...

   As the car deepened, a mist of lake water gradually appeared in front of Gao Cheng, and a castle-like building in the middle of the lake could still be vaguely seen.

   "I can see it," Takara Kouji smiled. "The building built on the floating island in the lake is the Lucia Pavilion of Mr. Yamanouchi's villa."

   The car passed through the woods and parked by the lake, and the castle was completely revealed, which looked very much like the architectural style of a mosque.

"This is a Russian architectural style," as if he knew Gao Cheng's ideas, Kouji Kota took the initiative to explain with a smile, "because it is an onion-shaped roof, it is easy for people to mistake it for a religious mosque. It is said that Russia originally believed in a religious mosque. A country of the Greek Orthodox Church, but through the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, Constantinople, which is now Istanbul, the Christian and Christian culture introduced is also reflected in the Russian culture..."

   "Cough."

   Gao Cheng nodded as if he knew how to understand, just when an old man with round eye sockets came over, dressed in a decent suit, he felt like an intellectual.

   "Thank you, Mr. Takatora," the old man greeted with a smile, "there is a famous detective next to him...Koshito Takasaki, right? I've been looking up for a long time, Detective Ktoto..."

"you are?"

   "I am Fujio Tashiro, the butler of Mr. Yamanouchi, come here, please, I need to take a boat next."

The old man said that he was taking everyone to the pier, but his smile looked a little reluctant. Kouji Kota said in a low voice to Gao Cheng: "He has been a housekeeper for Mr. Yamanouchi for so many years, but he has not inherited the inheritance. He will be upset for the time being. Don't pretend to him..."

"I know."

   Gao Cheng can be regarded as a person who has entered the society at any rate, and of course it will not be troublesome.

   The so-called boat is a small boat with an electric motor. It clicked all the way, and after letting everyone down on the island in the lake, it went back the same way and left.

   "Are there no ships here?" Gao Cheng asked, looking at the empty dock.

   "No, this is the instruction of the passing teacher Yamanouchi. Until the teacher's birthday 5 days later, everyone can only stay on the island. You are the last batch to arrive..."

The butler Tian Shi brought everyone to the front of the villa. From a close look, the castle-like building looked a little more gorgeous. There were 5 tall tower-shaped buildings around the atrium, and the roof of each tower was onion-shaped. The most striking thing is The clock tower at the back of the atrium has a big clock on it. As the hour arrives, the bell reverberates in the thick fog in the lake.

   Gao Cheng has no appreciative thoughts, this kind of place is almost prepared for crime...

   In the atrium of the villa, several people were already present. When the butler Tian Dai led Gao Cheng and the others, all eyes immediately gathered.

   "Baoda, you are really slow," a middle-aged mustache man in a nightgown stood up holding a wine glass, "Is the boy next to you who you invited to help out? How come you invite a kid to come over..."

   "Mr. God, I think you may have misunderstood, the famous Detective Jido is not a kid..."

   A young man who looked like a high school student walked over and stared at Gao Cheng with interest: "It is great that Mr. Takara can bring in a famous detective. It is my honor to be able to compete with Detective Jodo..."

Speaking of the juvenile Jiraji, shook hands with Takasei: "I am a high school student detective Takashi Inugai, and I am Mr. Yamanouchi’s neighbor in Kanagawa. I was honoured that he treated me like a relative, so I was also selected as the inheritor this time. Candidates, please take care!"

   "Please take care of..."

   Gao Cheng shook hands gently, a little surprised that there was such a young boy among the candidates. He didn't quite understand the criteria of Kensei Yamanouchi choosing people. No wonder the butler would complain.

The moustache man who was called Mr. God didn't look good, and he hummed to the boy: "What a showdown? He started pretending to be a detective again. It just happened to have solved a small murder case. Detectives from other cities. Anyway, it's a professional detective..."

   The boy ignored the mustache man and looked around expectantly: "Miss Yamauchi probably didn't expect a detective to come over, right? However, he arranged a reasoning contest here, really worthy of being a leader in the mystery world..."

   "Actually?"

"Doesn't Detective Kido know? The scene here is exactly the same as Mr. Yamanouchi's early representative work "The Lucia Doll Murder". Detective Kido should have studied Mr. Yamanouchi before coming? After all, the key to this competition is what he prepared. signal……"

   Seeing Gao Cheng’s embarrassed expression, the boy paused and grinned reluctantly: “It’s different from what I imagined, but I heard that famous detectives like to hide clumsy. Isn’t it possible that Detective Joto is intentionally showing weakness?

   "I really don't know much about Mr. Yamanouchi..."

   Gao Cheng laughed frankly.

   came in a hurry. He really didn't have the time to read the works of Hengsheng Yamauchi. He just collected part of his life data, and most of his energy was devoted to researching Gao Yuanyao.

   After all, this trip to Hokkaido is mainly for Gao Yuanyao. Even though he has dealt with Gao Yuanyao several times, he still lacks confidence...

   "Is there a "Lucia Doll Murder" here?" Gao Chengchao's butler asked Tiandai.

   "It should be in the teacher's room, I'll get it later."

   After arranging the accommodation room, the butler Tian Shiro came over and brought a book, which was the first edition of "The Lucia Doll Murder". Gao Cheng took advantage of Xiao Ai's baggage to look through.

   As the boy said, the background of the story is also the Lucia Pavilion of the current villa. The five people gathered in the villa are compared to Lucia dolls and were killed one after another.

   The situation seems to be the same as in the last black magic incident ~ www.NovelMTL.com~ like a curse and murder.

   However, the content of the novel seems to have nothing to do with the secret code this time. If the guess is not wrong, there should be a key reminder next, so this time the 5-day deadline has been arranged.

   "Kito Detective!" After a while, Kouji Takara came over and shouted, "Everyone went to the reception room to gather."

"it is good."

Gao Cheng took Xiao Ai and went out, and followed Kouji Kouji to find the reception room on the top floor of the clock tower. In addition to the mustache male **** Tadashi and the high school student Takashi, the high school student, there are also **** mystery novelists who have met but did not speak. Kaoru Meiyuan, and the beautiful illustrator Yu Yue Laimeng with long hair that just met, wear a black suit with long hair covering half of his face.

   Gao Cheng looked at this big beauty for a while, focusing on a long-legged young man wearing a mask behind You Yuelaimeng.

   Even though he couldn't see his face, Gao Cheng's eyes shrank sharply when he saw those eyes.

   is Gao Yuan Yaoyi, this guy actually appeared in such a magnificent manner, and there is no hidden meaning in other aspects. The mask can be hidden from ordinary people, but it is absolutely hidden from him...

   "It looks like it's all here," the masked man noticed Gao Cheng and chuckled, "Can we start?"

   "This is..." Everyone was surprised when they saw the masked man.

   "He is the helper I invited, Mr. Scarlet Rosses, the magician," Yuyue introduced, "Because of the severe burns when practicing magic before, I kept wearing the mask..."
