Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 601 Suspicious characters
If there is a most dangerous moment, Yuanzi will definitely think that it is when he is playing with Xiaolan and Conan the Four-eyed Kid follows him, and he will always get involved in the incident for no reason.

This time, the four-eyed little devil was finally dismissed, but he still encountered a case. Although it was just nearby, the deceased not only lived in the same hotel as them, but also seemed to strike up a conversation with them during the day.

Could it be that this is to make her start her career as a detective? The Queen of Reasoning Suzuki Sonoko sounds a little emotional.

Yuanzi was thinking about it alone, but unfortunately the police had no intention of asking the surrounding crowd to help. They just sealed off the scene and called away the three young men and women who found the body.

I didn't even have time to see the situation of the murder scene, but just heard the name of the victim mentioned by the crowd in front.

A suspicious figure flickered in the corner of Yuanzi's eyes while he was depressed. It was Gao Cheng who walked out of the hotel with the brim of his hat, and his coat tightly attracted Yuanzi's sight.

"Wear sunglasses at night, Xiaolan, come with me!" Yuanzi grabbed Xiaolan and walked out.

"Garden?"

The hotel is not far from the beach, and there is a row of coconut trees on the side. Although it is not as good as a villa with a private beach, it is also a rare sea view room. The room where the accident happened happened to be facing the sea. After Gao Cheng turned outside, he could see The police inspected the shards of glass in front of a floor-to-ceiling window that was broken at the bottom, and could vaguely see the body hidden by the curtain.

It's really the young man with the goatee during the day...

I wanted to get closer to see clearly, but a police officer on duty looked over.

It's a pity that police officer Henggou didn't come to Izu. It was very inconvenient for him to enter the crime scene for investigation, and...

Noticing the two gardens coming out from the other side, Gao Cheng dodged and hid behind the house.

It's better to go to the police station here, at least to understand the situation of the three people who found the body.

……

The police station was not near but not far from the incident location. Gao Cheng walked directly to the police station without finding a car.

After a preliminary search, the police have initially known the time of the victim's death. The body at the scene was covered with blood and fell by the floor-to-ceiling window of the room. It may have been hit on the head by some hard object from behind. The murder weapon is currently being investigated.

In addition, the three young men and women who found the body, the victim, Mr. Miyama's college classmate Kano, his lover Yanuma, and Oto who worked together.

When Gao Cheng called police officer Henggou and entered the police station, three people were being interrogated.

In any case, the three people are always suspected, and only these few people know the victim's situation now.

The first person to be questioned was the victim's college classmate, Jiana, a frivolous man in black short-sleeves and with his hat tilted to one side. Although he said a lot, it didn't seem to be of much help to the case.

"Hello," the criminal police officer of the police station received Henggou's instructions to meet Gao Cheng, and said pleasantly after Gao Cheng took off his sunglasses, "Are you..."

"Shh."

Gao Chengbi made a gesture to stop his voice, and while observing the man in the hat who had left after questioning, he checked the case records brought by the criminal police, and re-understood the whole case.

This kind of murder is not encountered once or twice, it seems to be very common, the police have roughly investigated the three suspects beforehand, but there is not much gain.

Because of the broken window, the police's temporary investigation direction is that the prisoner broke the glass to enter from the outside. Next, they need to understand the victim's usual interpersonal and social relationships.

The key is that no witnesses were found, the time of the incident was too late, and there was no one around.

"There are words on the glass window?" There was a sudden commotion in the lobby of the police station, and a criminal policeman looked at Yuanzi and Xiaolan who had found him with a headache.

"Yeah," Sonoko said with absolute certainty, "I saw it when I took the photo. It was written in scarlet letters with something like lipstick, or written horizontally. The four lowercase English letters 'teiu' must have been left by Mr. Miyama. The message of death..."

"But," the policeman said with a wry smile, "we have checked all the glass fragments at the scene, and there is no word at all, and 'teiu'... who would leave such an inexplicable message?"

"Did I really see it!" Yuanzi said angrily with his arms akimbo, "Did I bring the evidence to the head office? I saw it when I took pictures with my mobile phone before, so I should have taken it..."

"Where's the phone?"

"It seems to be in the hotel, we'll go back and get it right away!"

Gao Cheng didn't show up, and like the detective next to him, he was confused about 'teiu'.

If there really was a message, it is very likely that the murderer returned to the crime scene before the body was found, and broke the glass from the outside to destroy the message, and by the way pretended to enter the room from the outside to commit crimes.

This is interesting, the red message should be in blood, no matter how messy the glass residue is, it should be possible to judge whether there is something missing or whether there is any residual blood reaction through the approximate number...

Sensing Gao Cheng's gaze, the criminal police shook his head helplessly and said, "Actually, we also considered the purpose of breaking the window at the beginning, but the body was lying there, and the debris was covered with blood..."

"Can't tell the difference?"

Gao Cheng frowned.

Even if there is a way to test the current technology, it is not something that can be realized by the police station in such a small place. Fortunately, these criminal police didn't go into it, right?
"If it was really a burglary, wouldn't it be strange for the body to fall by the broken floor-to-ceiling window?"

Gao Cheng believed Yuanzi's statement. Although he still didn't understand the meaning of "teiu", it was possible that Yuanzi misunderstood or remembered it wrongly.

……

The second person to be questioned was the long-haired fat man, Oto, who was very silent, and kept saying that he didn't know anything, but because the victim, Mr. Miyama, didn't show up at dinner time, he went to the room with the other two to find someone.

After cross-examining Suoto, it was the victim's lover, Ms. Yanuma, who kept crying. The police officer who questioned her felt dizzy. After interrogating him intermittently for a long time, there was no result. However, as a lover, Yanuma knew the victim best and could only wait patiently. Yanuma's mood calmed down, and it seemed that it would take a lot of time.

Gao Cheng rubbed his sore brow.

Yanuma had a mean look on his face, but he was really sad when he cried. For some reason, it reminded him of Kaori Nakahara who just sent a letter a few days ago.

Unless he has absolute clues, he doesn't want to judge Yanuma by its appearance, after all, this woman is also a victim.

But if you keep crying like this, you probably won't get anything today.

"Detective Chenghu," the criminal police officer rushed over suddenly, "The two high school girls just now seem to have been robbed."

"robbery?"

Gao Cheng's first reaction was to be dazed, wondering who would dare to rob Xiaolan, but he frowned after noticing the expression on the criminal policeman's face.

"Are they all right?"

"I'm fine, I heard that the bag was snatched away..."

"So," Yuanzi called on Xiaolan's mobile phone outside the police station, "I sent you a super sexy photo of Zhang Xiaolan on my mobile phone. Before I took this photo, I noticed the red letter there. It should be taken In the photo..."

"should?"

Conan on the other side of the phone avoided Ayumi and asked through the voice changer: "Have you not made sure?"

"I thought I left my mobile phone in the hotel room, so I went back to get it," Yuanzi said sullenly, "I found the mobile phone in the bag halfway through the walk, and went back to the police station, but the robbers even bagged me on the way." They snatched it together...Hmph, it must be that suspicious guy I saw at the hotel earlier!"

"Suspicious guy?"

"Anyway, that's how it is. If you can't produce evidence, the police will think I'm lying." Sonoko looked at the two police officers who came to the side to ask the robber's clues, "So I want Kudo to send you the photo, so use Xiaolan's cell phone called..."

Xiaolan stood beside Yuanzi with a blushing face, "I told Xinyi to delete it, and it's useless to call..."

"Really deleted?"

"Uh, yes," Conan thought of the photos saved on the phone, his expression froze, "Of course..."

"Really?"

"Anyway, anyway, if you figure out the meaning of those words, tell the police first!"

"Well," Xiaolan said softly, "I'll call you if I think of anything else."

"it is good……"

After hanging up the phone, Conan silently recalled the previously saved photos. Sure enough, a part of the window was photographed behind Xiaolan's perfect youthful figure, and the inside of the room could not be seen through the curtains, but a little red writing could be seen around Xiaolan's smooth waist.

Only "t" can be seen, but there is a red dot to the left of "t" that looks like a punctuation mark, and it may be an unfinished word, which is very strange...

and many more.

Conan suddenly raised his head.

Isn't Kido over there?
……

At the gate of the police station, there was no clue about the robber in the end, because it was too dark, and the two of Sonoko couldn't even see the person clearly. When they were going to tell the criminal police in the station the latest reasoning, they happened to meet the young man in the hat, Kano.

"It's not 'teiu'?" Kano looked at Sonoko in a daze.

"That's right," Sonoko said happily, "i is actually a lowercase L, so it's 'tel', and the fourth character is not u, and the right side is a little shorter than the left, so it should be a hiragana... If you connect it together, it's a phone call." the meaning of!"

"Huh?" Jiana was stunned for a moment, "That makes sense...but didn't you guys get your phone back?"

"This is Xinyi's reasoning," Xiaolan said happily from the bottom of her heart, "Fortunately, there is Xinyi."

"Oh?" Kano said unexpectedly, "Is the Shinichi you're talking about the high school student detective?"

"Yes, he is the best at codes, even better than Kido-senpai..."

"Yes, yes," Yuanzi cocked his lips teasingly, "Your husband is really amazing."

"It's not my husband!"

"Can you write down roughly the message on the window?"

Gao Cheng changed his gloomy voice and appeared behind Yuanzi and the two of them. He turned up the collar of his windbreaker to hide it tightly, almost startling them.

"Is that suspicious person?!"

Xiaolan subconsciously twirled and kicked Gao Cheng, but Gao Cheng gently avoided the legs and feet that brought the strong wind, and quickly stabilized her figure to prepare for the next blow.

"Wait a minute," Gao Cheng stretched out his hand to stop Xiaolan, "I'm not a suspicious person..."

Yuanzi glared at him for a while: "Is it you who is following you with a telescope on the beach today?!"

"Actually," Gao Cheng was silent for a while, and then said in a gloomy voice, "I just happen to be investigating the case, and there are often young women being targeted nearby..."

"is it?"

"certainly……"

Gao Cheng glanced at the young man in the hat, and continued: "Let's not talk about that, there must be some details that you didn't notice about the scarlet letter you saw, so it's best to draw all the words you saw on the window... …Otherwise, leaving a message like 'Calling' is too strange, right? If you want to ask for help, there is absolutely no need to leave a message like this."

Yuanzi stared closely at Gao Cheng with a puffy face, and took the pen and paper that Gao Cheng brought with doubts.

She couldn't believe that this suspicious guy was stronger than Kudo.

"I remember like this..."

Sonoko immersed himself in his memories under the street light, and gradually drew a message on the paper. At first glance, it did look like "teiu", and "tel" plus a hiragana "し" could barely make sense.

"Are you sure that's the case?" Gao Cheng asked in a gloomy voice.

"I don't have a photographic memory!" Yuanzi exclaimed angrily, "If it's not 'calling', what kind of message can it be?"

"Indeed," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "at first glance, this is the closest message, a general shape is enough."

"Eh?"

"The new one you mentioned just helped you strengthen part of your memory, but there was a problem with the direction of the explanation."

Gao Cheng closed his eyes slightly, and handed a photo of the crime scene to Yuanzi.

"This message was not a code at the beginning, so no matter how you interpret it, there will be no results..."

"What do you mean?" Yuanzi felt more and more that the man in the windbreaker who hides his head and tail is an annoying guy, and Xiaolan next to him also thought so, staring at Gao Cheng and waiting for an explanation.

"It's literally."

It happened that Jiana who had already asked the question was present. Gao Cheng turned over the paper with the message on it and said, "This is just the words you see through the glass from the outside of the room. It's as simple as that..."

"This is even more strange..." Sonoko looked at the handwriting reflected on the flip side of the paper through the light.

"It's not surprising at all, as long as you think about it from the perspective of the victim." Gao Cheng laughed hoarsely.

"victim?"

Yuanzi and Xiaolan looked at each other, and then read the message according to the situation at the crime scene.

"Yes...it was written lying down!!"

Putting up the flipped message, Sonoko tightly grasped her fingers, swallowed her saliva, picked up a pen by accident and added a dot in the upper right corner, and immediately the message became "Kana" in Japanese.

"Mr. Garner..."

Sonoko raised his head again in a nasty voice.

Jiana, who was still smiling, was already sweating, and the two police officers who were in charge of the robbery case turned serious.

"That's right," Gao Cheng looked at Jiana who was tense, "It was a very simple case. After the murderer accidentally discovered the message, he broke the window and pretended to be a gangster outside to enter the house and kill him. body found...

"When I arrived at the police station, I heard that someone saw the writing on the glass and took a photo, so I was in a hurry to snatch the mobile phone halfway, because the truth is likely to be discovered after handing it to the police... But this is not enough , because there is still a photo email..."

Gao Cheng looked directly at Jiana who started to retreat: "You must know who the recipient is, so the phone hasn't been lost yet, right? Are you going to run away?"
