Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Years later, Gao Cheng added another hooded jacket that looked like a caterpillar, but it could only be worn as a home wear. It was absolutely impossible for him to go out anyway.

Other than that, the others are very pleasant. Although there is no new commission, the life is still very fulfilling. Especially the garden has become a frequent visitor to the office, and occasionally even stayed overnight with Xiao Ai.

just……

Gao Cheng has never been able to establish a relationship with Yuanzi. He has maintained this slightly weird state. He did not return to normal until one month passed, but he also lost the easy life of being taken care of.

In early February, Dr. A Li went to Yamanashi County to participate in a new invention presentation. Gao Cheng was bored and went to experience it. When he returned home, he found that Xiao Ai followed Xiao Lan and his party to the Suzuki's villa.

It was the first time since Xiao Ai came that he had spent the night alone in the office. He always felt strangely deserted, especially when there was a thunderstorm that night, and watching TV didn't feel like watching TV.

Fortunately, Gao Cheng didn't let Gao Cheng sit idle. The next day, the office came with new guests. Yamato Dare to help police officer and Yui Uehara, who had been reinstated, drove all the way from Nagano Prefecture to Tokyo, and brought a box of Nagano specialty products. Peony cake.

Unfortunately, because he ate too many sweets in Yamanashi Prefecture, Gao Cheng didn't eat a bite, so he quietly put away the peony cake.

"This shortcut is really difficult..."

In the dark forest of Nagano Prefecture, a car drove **** a rugged dirt road, and the surroundings were frighteningly quiet.

There were bumps along the way, and Gao Cheng's head was a little faint. Looking at the silent driving in front of Yamato Daxiang, he couldn't help but asked: "It's all here, should you tell me what the puzzle is?"

"Preconceived notions will disrupt reasoning," Yamato said cautiously. "We just want you to see the scene with your own eyes before driving to Tokyo to pick you up."

"Uh……"

Gao Cheng's mouth twitched.

It's rare to have this kind of treatment, he thought he had such a big face...

The car finally parked in front of an old bungalow in the forest. I don't know who would build a villa in such a place. It still looks very grand.

"This place used to be called the Hall of Hope until three years ago," Uehara Yui said while looking at the old building. "Three years ago, the body of a woman was found here and it became the Hall of Death."

The building has two floors, and there is a garden at the door. Two policemen stood by the entrance door with their hands behind their backs. The bright lights dispelled the horror atmosphere.

Gao Cheng followed into the villa. First of all, there was a two-story hollowed out atrium with stairs to the upper floor. It looked very good. Although the location was a bit off, most people couldn't build such a house.

"Although it is gone now," said Yamato Kousuke, "but there was a bus stop in front of this house before, and the traffic was relatively convenient."

"How could this place be called the Pavilion of Hope before?" Gao Cheng asked.

"The wealthy people who built this place moved out because it was old. Only some young people who thought they were talented but had no money lived here. The rent was almost equal to free, and they could live here to achieve their dreams. one day……"

"Yes, the rich man who comes back occasionally is also a good man, but unfortunately he just passed the property right to those young people and died of illness," Uehara Yui said. "Those young people also left independently after two or three years. Only one couple remained in this house five or six years ago. The wife was the woman whose body was found three years ago. The husband also died this time..."

"Hey, Yui," Yamato Kousuke went straight upstairs, "show the town detectives pictures of those people."

"Well, there are 6 people in total, actor Naoki Tsuikawa, fashion designer Shaoji Yamabuki, CG painter Takuto Momose, musician Naoki Shiro, and finally the couple, illustrator Akashi Shusaku and Miss Xiaoqiao Aoi."

Gao Cheng took the photo and looked at it, then raised his head and asked, "Then, what's the scene?"

"It's this room on the second floor."

Yamato dare to help stand still on the second floor.

"When I first discovered it, the cart full of cardboard boxes was blocked at the door. It was full of books and stuffed. The door could only be opened because it was pushed outwards. The people inside couldn't get out. As a result, I was starved to death. Up."

Yamato dared to help open the door and walked in, with a serious expression: "There is even more terrifying thing, that is, the red wall in the room."

Gao Cheng saw the situation in the room, and immediately entered the state.

In any case, the Yamato police officer personally went to Tokyo to invite him to illustrate the importance of the matter. After all, the Yamato police officer himself is a very capable criminal police officer.

When you enter the door, you can see a bright red on the wall next to it, painted with red spray paint, which looks like a blood wall, very eye-catching, and there is a signature of the suspected deceased in the corner, which is the name of the illustrator.

The room is not big, it looks like an atelier, there are some drawing boards and easels in the corner, and there is a table for tools and paints, but both the brush and the paint disappear, and the whole room only has the red spray paint under the "Chibi" tank.

Also very noticeable are the two black and white chairs placed back to back in the center of the room. The white chair faces the "Red Cliff" and the black chair faces the white wall on the other side.

Gao Cheng approached and checked and found that both chairs were nailed to the floor.

"When the body was found, it was sitting on this white chair facing the red wall." Uehara Yui explained.

"Are these certain death messages left by the victim?" Gao Cheng asked back.

"It should be correct. We found a bug in this room. It should be used by the prisoner to judge whether the victim has died. Since the bug is still indicating that the prisoner has not come again..."

"Any other clues?"

Gao Cheng crouched to the wall to check the signature.

It is difficult to draw any conclusions by looking at the crime scene alone, especially the secret code that he hates the most, which is quite abstract.

If you don’t know the victim himself, you can’t understand it at all.

"Only this signature is a blood book with the victim biting his finger and bleeding," Yamato said, taking out a date form. "The names of the six people have colors, so these people usually use colors to distinguish each other, except in In addition to stickers of different colors on the doors of their respective rooms, colors are used instead of names on the cooking duty schedule."

"So that's it..."

Gao Cheng carefully compared the table and thought about it, and found that illustrator Akashi Zhousaku is red, actor Naoki Tsuikawa is green, Kaohashi Aoi is blue, fashion designer Yamabuki is golden, CG painter Se Takuto is peach, musician Naoki is white.

"In other words, is the victim using color to suggest the prisoner?"

"In fact, we have asked several other people one after another after the incident." Yamato Daedou's face was not very good. "We pretended that there were fingerprints on the doorknob to test their reaction. We thought the reaction was quite weird. The suspicious white musician Naoki was killed the next day. He sat on a chair and faced a red-painted wall. He was strangled to death by someone that night..."

"In other words..."

"In other words, the prisoner was among the remaining three people, the walls were sprayed red, and the victim was sitting on a chair and died. We only mentioned it to them."

Gao Cheng was a little confused, but fortunately he took out paper and pen to sort it out.

He is roughly clear about the situation.

However, the development of the matter was a bit bizarre. The day after the police tried it, one of the people suspected by the police was killed. The scene actually imitated the scene of the first incident, and because the murderer had never returned here, he only did it through the police. Layout.

Criminal psychology...

Regardless of the time, criminal psychology analysis is particularly useful. Almost every detective is an expert in this area. Gao Cheng is also accustomed to starting from criminal psychology.

Judging from the situation at the villa, if colors are used to refer to prisoners, the red wall is opposite to the white wall, combined with black and white chairs and the victim is facing the red wall, it is no wonder that the "white" musician Naoki will be suspected.

However, the reason why he was killed the next day shows that Naoki has a key clue that can threaten the real prisoner. Naoki's weird reaction also shows that ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and after the police left, it is possible that the real culprit was contacted privately.

Then there are prisoners. There are two possibilities to imitate the scene, provoking the police, or trying to confuse the police in this way.

Generally speaking, the prisoner will try to avoid the victim's death message from being deciphered. If it is the latter, it means that the prisoner can prevent the message from being deciphered by copying "Chibi"...

Gao Cheng put his finger on his brow.

After having been idle for so long before starting work, I was faced with such troublesome puzzle solving. It would be great if Xiao Ai was there. How much could I help share the burden? And Conan...

Realizing that both of Yamato Daring to help were staring at him, Gao Cheng coughed lightly and looked at a small window near the ceiling with broken glass and said, "What's wrong over there?"

"It broke from the inside. The victim seems to have thrown out all the painting tools and painting materials such as spray paint from the hole."

Yamato dared to help explain, and asked with a constant expression: "How is it? Can you figure out the meaning of Chibi?"
