Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 3 Card Binding
"someone is coming!"

Conan woke up first, and hurriedly dragged Ayumi to hide behind a cabinet in the corner, but Gao Cheng couldn't hide.

Looking at Gao Cheng who was still standing there, Conan's expression changed: "Oh no!"

Gao Cheng's performance was really bad, he couldn't even open a basement door, obviously unable to fight against the weird woman.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Conan gritted his teeth and anxiously tried to find a solution, but suddenly saw Gao Cheng leaning against the wall and actively speaking towards the door.

"Ma'am, what did you do just now? Are those two children?"

"What?" Conan tensed up, and almost couldn't help jumping out of the corner to stop Gao Cheng.

"Boom!" The footsteps stopped abruptly, and then the wooden door was suddenly pulled open. The weird woman looked at Gao Cheng in front of the iron prison in horror, and the dinner plate in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

The woman was stunned, and grabbed a kitchen knife with a horrified expression: "Are you with those two children just now?"

Gao Cheng saw the cold light flashing on the knife, his eyelids twitched, and his whole body involuntarily leaned against the wall.

Subconsciously, he wanted to restrain the woman first, but he soon thought of his own body. With his current physical strength, it was too much, and he could only stand upright by leaning against the wall...

As his expression changed, the first thing that came to Gao Cheng's mind was the figure of Sherlock Holmes in his dream.

Thinking hard about the vague content of the plot, and recalling some of Conan's reasoning above, Gao Cheng gritted his teeth and leaned his back against the wall to support his body.

He can only gamble now.

"Mrs. Ma'am," Gao Cheng put his hands in his trouser pockets, trying to pull himself together, "is your son locked up here? Is it really okay to lock up your own son here to hide the truth?"

Before the woman could respond, Gao Cheng continued, "There is still a family portrait of the owner who was killed five years ago in this house. I saw the owner's wife and son. If there is nothing unexpected, I think it is you and this one." A man who was locked in a cage for five years?"

Gao Cheng's mind was full of Sherlock Holmes and Conan's reasoning before, and his expression gradually calmed down, as if he had really become a famous detective in an instant.

"You..." The "savage" in the iron prison was shocked, and he watched Gao Cheng reasoning with the woman.

Gao Cheng didn't avoid his eyes, and continued to talk: "After the murder case five years ago, I heard that the family members of the deceased have moved out, but there is still running water in this house. When I came in, I felt something was wrong. It was running in a hidden place. The secret entrance there, the wooden door there is very new, probably installed after the murder, living in isolation like this, and keeping your son in an iron prison, what is the purpose?"

Seeing that the woman was completely stunned, Gao Cheng struck while the iron was hot: "That's right, I think the one who killed your husband should be your son, right?"

"Shut up, shut up!" The woman was so frightened by Gao Cheng's repeated bombings that she nearly collapsed, and asked in horror, "Who are you? Who are you?!"

Gao Cheng's eyes were piercing, and he looked straight at the woman, "My name is Kido Gao Cheng, and I'm a detective!"

"Detective, detective?" The woman's face was pale.

"This guy seems to be a different person..." Conan secretly looked at Gao Cheng in surprise, and understood the cause and effect from the expression of the woman opposite him.

At this moment, Bumei poked her head out curiously, and accidentally touched the mop next to her, and there was a sudden commotion.

"boom!"

"Is there anyone else?" The woman woke up in a start, holding the knife tightly and looking towards the corner of the wall.

"Big brother is right, Ma'am," Conan said bravely and walked out, "After discovering that your son had killed someone, Madam concealed the truth and wanted to exonerate him, but he has been condemned by his conscience, so this The strange noises that often come out of the house are actually your son’s cries of pain, maybe he wanted to surrender himself but you didn’t allow him to do so, so you locked him up.”

Conan said to Gao Cheng with a naive look: "Is that so, big brother?"

"Shut up!" The woman broke down, and suddenly grabbed the kitchen knife and rushed over to press Gao Cheng hard against the wall, "Shut up!"

Oops!

Gao Cheng's eyes suddenly tightened, staring at the tip of the knife, his brain was running rapidly.

He only has one chance to fight back...

"Stop!" The son in the iron prison shouted loudly to stop the woman holding the knife, and cried loudly, "Mom, stop! They are right, the murderer who killed Dad...is me!!"

"Zhao, Zhaofu..."

……

The horrific night passed, and there was no danger. In the end, no accident happened. After being persuaded by the son who was locked in the dungeon, the mother and son collapsed, cried and hugged each other, and made the decision to surrender.

Conan looked at the mother and son silently for a while, then looked back at Gao Chengdao: "You are really good, big brother, but how do you know that the son killed the father? There is also a possibility that the wife is the murderer, so That's why it's done, isn't it?"

There was no response, Conan looked at the motionless Gao Cheng strangely: "Big brother?"

The calm and handsome face looked like a young famous detective. Looking at it this way, it was very different from the reports in the newspapers. Just bravely facing a mother who didn't know if she would kill someone for her son was different from the rumors.

Gao Cheng squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, and suddenly sat down on the ground: "Ha, your legs are weak, do you have something to eat?"

It's really terrible. If people from the former Kendo club knew about it, they would definitely laugh to death. Fortunately, they are now in the world of Conan...

"Hehe." Conan's mouth twitched.

This guy really thinks too much...

"We only brought some bread and candy. Judging from your appearance, your blood sugar should be hypoglycemic. Let's eat some candy first."

"Thank you."

Gao Cheng leaned his back against the wall and let out a long sigh of relief.

saved.

This time is really lucky, the mother and son are not bad people, and they just met Conan.

But even though the result was good, the process was too thrilling. Thinking of how the woman almost had a nervous breakdown and started doing it, let him do it again, I guess I don't have the courage to make such a bet.

This is really between life and death, and I have no strength to fight back. This kind of experience is not good at all, it is too dangerous...

After eating candy, he calmed down a bit. When Conan and Ayumi left the dungeon, Gao Cheng reached out and touched the pocket with the mysterious card, and found a safe place to check.

The so-called trial event has been completed, and the evaluation is only 2 stars, weak chicken level, barely meeting the requirements to have the qualifications to become a detective.

What else do you want from him?

Forget it, I don't know what happened to this strange card that was stuck in an old book by someone.

And himself, no one told him how he suddenly became a person in Conan's world when he woke up...

The card quietly shone with light, and a line of words emerged again.

"Do you want to bind the card? After binding, you will start the growth path of detectives. During the probationary period, the prestige points will be automatically bundled when you solve the case. If you consume the accumulated reputation of a case, you can exchange it for 10 yuan. If you consume the case accumulation or 10 yuan, you can exchange it for learning experience and special items... ..."

"Successful binding cannot be cancelled, enter the adaptation period on your own..."

"It may cause irreversible effects..."

"The probationary period ends after reaching the detective target..."

"1 yen to be collected."

A series of instructions flashed, and finally the only option left on the card was binding or not.

Gao Cheng rested his fingers on the card.

For a while, he didn't know what the card was talking about, but did he have a choice?
He must receive 1 yen, and he must also be a detective. There is nothing in front of him, and it is impossible to walk on the old path of the original owner...

Thinking of Holmes in his dream, Gao Cheng pursed his lips and chose to bind.

"Wow!"

The card disappeared, replaced by a virtual light curtain that appeared in front of Gao Cheng's eyes.

No matter whether you close your eyes or open them, you can clearly see the light curtain. Besides his identity information, there are also some strange data on it.

Kido Kosei, trainee, case 0, reputation value 0, grayed out because the value is too low.

Others seemed to be unable to see the light curtain. Gao Cheng tried to grab it with his hands, but his fingers passed through the light curtain directly. Just as he was thinking that there was always a light curtain in his line of sight and felt uncomfortable, the light curtain suddenly disappeared with his thoughts.

At the same time, a piece of information about the light curtain naturally appeared in Gao Cheng's mind.

This is a seemingly simple assistant system for famous detectives. Although it will not directly help the host solve the case after the binding is successful, it can strengthen the thinking ability to the limit within 1 minute. Reward some prestige points, and the prestige points can be exchanged for money. One point of prestige points is equivalent to one thousand yen.

In addition, spending 10 yen or the latest solved case can be exchanged for special items. The former has a limit on the number of times, but the latter does not. You can consume the last event until all the solved cases are used up, but...

"Attention, the side effects of consuming cases will cause irreversible effects."

After the probationary period, there is no explanation, nor does it say what targets to achieve.

Gao Cheng wanted to find out what the side effect was, but because he was too exhausted, he fell asleep in the dungeon drooling.

……

The next day, Conan's classmates, Genta and Mitsuhiko, were found sleeping in the yard, seemingly drugged. In addition, the mother and son surrendered themselves to the newspapers, and the murder incident five years ago was successfully resolved.

But when Gao Cheng returned to the office to get the newspaper, he was a little disappointed.

Although his name appeared in the newspaper, the repercussions it caused were not as big as Conan's group of elementary school students.

On the contrary, many reporters brought up the black history of the original owner, biting on like mad dogs.

It seems that this incident of the haunted house can't wash away the stains on his body. The media always likes to pay attention to those negative things...

If you want to stand up, you still have to continue to solve the case. After you become one of the best detectives, maybe the black history of the past will automatically be beautified.

Gao Cheng pouted his chin thoughtfully, thinking of Sherlock Holmes in his dream, and called up the detective card light curtain again.

It was still the same as yesterday, and there was no working principle, but the function that the reputation points could be exchanged for cash was very attractive to him.

For him, who is currently in a bad situation, this alone is enough to be a life-saving straw. Sometimes only when he is short of money can he truly realize how important money is.

Putting away the virtual light curtain, Gao Cheng cheered up and went to the bathroom to tidy up his appearance.

From now on, I will be a detective. Yesterday's case is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go.

After tidying up and standing in front of the mirror, what I saw was a fairly handsome young man. After a day, his spirit has improved a lot, he is not as decadent and haggard as he was at the beginning, and his body is not as weak as before. A bit like Kudo Shinichi.

After washing up, Gao Cheng went out shopping with a [-] yuan bill rewarded by the card, and started his official life on the first day of coming to Conan World Japan.

Hey guys, I'm here!
