Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 582 Mu Mu: Here I Come
It didn't take long for the police to arrive at Zhengying's house. Police officer Mu Mu was surprised that there would be a murder case here, and thought that Gao Yuanyao had caused some trouble again. After receiving the report, he immediately set off anxiously and went to the scene to see After arriving at Gao Cheng and the service department, their expressions were particularly bright.

"So," Mu Mu asked Mrs. Zhengying as if something was stuck in his throat, "Is there anyone who is jealous or resentful of Master Zhengying? Knowing that Madam lives alone and familiar with the internal environment of this home, Such a person may commit a very high crime... The notebook of the missing Mr. Zhengying will be invaluable as long as it is used in magic performances, think about it carefully, has anyone like this come here?"

"My husband is not the kind of person who seeks resentment, but..." Mrs. Zhengying hesitated, "A few days ago, several strange guests came one after another. First, a guest named Gao Yuanyao, who seemed to know me too Regarding the matter of Mr. Gao Yuan’s notes, another customer came to the door after a day, saying that his sick father is a fan of my husband, and he hoped to come here to have a look, and asked about Mr. Gao Yuan..."

"Two strange guests?" His eyes lit up, "Do you remember the second guest? What does it look like..."

"It's me, Police Officer Mumu," Gao Cheng greeted Mumu wonderingly, "I'm just here to investigate Gao Yuanyaoyi's matter? Just pretend to see the situation."

"Yes, yes," Mu Mu blushed slightly, "So the prisoner is that Gao Yuanyao?"

"It's not Gao Yuan," Gao Cheng concluded directly, "The murderer is among us..."

"what?"

Mrs. Zhengying and Fan Tianli focused their eyes on Gao Cheng at the same time.

"What, what do you mean?"

"Brother Chenghu," Mu Mu blinked and said in a daze, "We have already found broken branches in the bushes below, and traces of wiped footprints, just under the window of Master Zhengying's room..."

"It's just a simple disguise," Gao Cheng said with a slight smile, "Actually, the real prisoner has been staying here, and what we see is just what the prisoner wants to show us, just like a magic show, right? , Mister Xinghe?"

"Jinghu?" Heye said with wide-eyed eyes, "But you just said that Mr. Xinghe has been with us..."

"It's true that he was with us during the power outage, but didn't Miss Zhanzi be killed for more than half an hour? It's enough to set up the scene, including the fake trick of the prisoner escaping through the window..."

"Then what happened to Miss Zhanzi's body? It couldn't have been moved by itself, could it?"

"The body has always been here."

Gao Cheng walked past Hattori with a bad face: "The murderer was in a hurry. In fact, it is easy to find the problem after carefully investigating the first crime scene and the murder weapon. Everyone is just entangled in the mystery of the sudden appearance of the corpse. As long as you solve the riddle, you'll be fine."

"You already know?"

"This is a house built by a magician. It doesn't really make sense to say that the corridor is so narrow just because you don't understand architecture..."

Gao Cheng walked outside Mr. Zhengying's room and opened the door again.

"The door doesn't open all the way, but it's sitting right against the wall at a 45-degree angle, and don't you think it's too thick?"

"This is..." Hattori's eyelids twitched, and he rushed to the door, and found that the door was much thicker than normal, and there was a vertical seam in the middle of the side of the door. After a little force, the door was actually separated from the middle. It becomes an ordinary door on the inside, and a mirror door on the outside. The mirror at the handle of the mirror door can be moved, and it is from here to close to the ordinary door.

"Could it be?"

"That's right, it's mirror reflection."

Gao Cheng led the way into the room, raised his head to look at the closed curtain on the ceiling.

"The distance between the curtain and the wall, the length of the curtain just reaching the front wall, and the closet door on the wall that is the same as the database door... These are all specially designed. Does it look like a corridor when the curtain is lowered?"

Gao Cheng moved the cabinet where the phone was placed, and moved it to a French window against the wall. After blocking the lower half of the French window, he took out a vase from the cabinet that had the same shape and pattern as the vase in the corridor, and finally put down the curtain.

Mu Mu stared dumbfounded at Gao Cheng's movements, and after a while, another corridor was set up.

"Could it be that the false corridor in the room is projected through the mirror? But can it really be done?"

"Of course, you'll know if you try it?" Gao Cheng exited the room and said with a smile, "These arrangements were specially designed by the missing Mr. You can confuse the real with the fake, and you won’t be able to find it if you don’t pay special attention, but there are still shortcomings after all..."

"shortcoming?"

"It's the shadow. If the window is not covered, the angle of the moonlight is different, and the direction of the shadow is of course different..."

Gao Cheng opened the mirror door against the wall of the corridor, and the specially designed mirror door was instantly integrated with the wall and the ceiling, and the fake corridor replaced the real corridor in front of everyone.

"So when we came over, we saw a fake corridor. After the power outage, we saw the real corridor with Ms. Zhanzi's body. Mr. Xinghe took advantage of our inspection of the body and called the police to restore the layout of the room."

Gao Cheng said and looked at Mrs. Zhengying: "Madam should know that Mr. Xinghe is a prisoner right away? Because Mr. Zhengying used this place to perform magic tricks before, and there are still photos of that time in the album..."

Mrs. Zhengying hesitated to avoid her eyes, and glanced at Xinghe Tongwu who was silent behind her.

"It's enough..." Xinghe Tongwu lowered his head, "As Detective Kido said, I was just impulsive. If you check the blood, the evidence should be everywhere, which is completely different from when performing magic..."

"Galaxy?"

"After I heard Zhanzi mention the witch's resurrection magic, I knew right away that she copied the idea from the teacher's notes, the resurrection of the demon king banned because it was too dangerous..."

"No way?" Mu Mu said speechlessly, "You just wanted to copy the teacher's idea, so you killed her?"

"She probably didn't know," Mrs. Zhengying explained, "When everyone discussed and decided to give up this magic, my husband hadn't accepted her as a disciple yet."

"Yes," Xinghe Tongwu looked back at Zhanzi's body, "Madam said that the notebook is in the database to protect me. In fact, the teacher has always carried it with him. Ten years ago, it was because the teacher could not find the notebook. I went out to look for it, and never came back...

"So I thought it was weird, so I called her to the teacher's room..."

"So that's how it is," Mu Mu said with a face full of disappointment, "Doesn't it mean that Gao Yuanyao instructed you?"

"Gao Yuanyaoyi?" Xinghe Tongwu said in a daze, "No."

"But why did Gao Yuanyao come here? Could it be that he really just wanted to read that "Zhengying Notes"?"

Mu Mu led Xinghe Tongwu away with a sad face, and before leaving, he even looked at Gao Cheng, Gao Cheng frowned.

Please, why are you disappointed?
