Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 610 Buddha Extinction Day Event 2
"Buddha's death day?"

Gao Cheng lowered his head and thought for a while, it seemed that there was indeed an event on the day of the Buddha's extinction, but he didn't know if it was this time.

"So that's the case. The Guoyou couple are so sure because tomorrow is the Buddha's extinction day. The question is what are they afraid of? What did the Guoyou couple do in the past..."

Xiaolan was still holding the panda pajamas and stood at the door, she was stunned and said, "Senior Kido, do you have any clues?"

"Since that threatening card can scare Guoyou and his wife, it proves that Guoyou and his wife do have ghosts in their hearts. Thinking about it this way, it can be explained that they regard normal things as supernatural phenomena."

Gao Cheng ignored the cute panda pajamas in Xiaolan's hands, walked to the French window with his hands in his hands and opened the curtains.

In the past two years, the first nightmare of Guoyou Chunda may have been just thinking of hidden bad things, the second time the brake fluid problem was obviously man-made, and the third time I received a threatening card, let alone it was purely pretending to scare Guoyouchun. It's just big, and compared to Guoyou himself, he knows it well, so this time he is the famous detective.

Looking for him, a well-known but too young detective, and using the guise of a "spiritual detective", I am afraid that he hopes to find the person who is secretly threatening, but does not want his own affairs to be discovered.

This way things can be figured out.

The only thing that remains in doubt is the strange noise that came from the room of Guoyou and his wife on April 4 this year.

The electronic door can only be opened from the inside, and only people from Guoyou's family can use it. When outsiders touch the fingerprint verification machine, an alarm will be triggered.

This also shows that Guoyou's family may have criminals or accomplices.

The more suspicious thing is the checkpoint. The relationship with Guoyou and his wife seems to be too good, and as the person in charge of the security equipment, he is also a bit suspicious. There may not be a way to directly enter the third floor without the consent of Guoyou Chunda. very convenient.

In addition, outsiders can only go up through the balcony, which is basically difficult to achieve without special tools, and it should leave traces...

Gao Cheng opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked up at the balcony above, and his vision suddenly froze.

With the help of the light in the room, a pair of feet wearing leather shoes hang on the edge of the balcony, shaking with the wind from time to time, and there is also the slight sound of rope rubbing against teeth, and if you don't listen carefully, you may think it is the sound of wind.

Gao Cheng leaned out of the balcony and looked up. What caught his eyes was the figure hanging from the guardrail upstairs, his neck was tied up with a thick rope, and he had short inverted eyebrows and a pair of light brown lens glasses. The color of pain, but just quietly looking down.

With his hands hanging down weakly, it was obvious that he had no chance of survival.

The most suspected person died directly in this kind of place...

Conan followed and ran out of the room, and couldn't help but look surprised when he saw the gate above the balcony.

"Mr. Sekiguchi..."

……

At 12:3 midnight, the police who arrived at the scene did not enter the third floor to release the dead body until Guoyou and his wife returned home.

"The one who died was Mr. Toshimichi Sekiguchi, 43 years old... The estimated time of death is between 8:30 and 9:[-] p.m. The person who found the body was..."

"Detective Chenghu," Police Officer Shanhutou Henggou excitedly looked at Gao Cheng and his party outside after the forensic personnel had collected evidence, "I didn't expect to see you again, are you here to play? "

Gao Cheng followed into the scene: "Uh, Mr. Guoyou actually invited me to investigate the supernatural phenomenon."

"Spiritual phenomenon?" Henggou was stunned.

"Actually, strange things have happened to Guoyou's house in the past two years," Gao Cheng said in a deep voice, looking at Guan Kou's body placed by the French window, "and they all happened on the day of Buddha's death every year."

Strictly speaking, the time when Guankou was killed was not yet the Buddha's Extinction Day, but if Gao Cheng hadn't discovered it in advance, the body would indeed not be seen until Guoyou and his wife came back, and it would have already reached the 4th anyway.

"Officer," a police officer handed the message card in the evidence bag to Henggou, "this is something found in the pocket of the deceased's clothes."

"Oh?" Henggou curiously took over the evidence to examine, "The crime 13 years ago is repaid here... What does this mean? Is this a suicide note?"

"I'm afraid it's another threatening letter."

Gao Cheng also saw the words written on the card.

Judging from the situation of the dead body at the pass, the rope around the neck is almost touching the balcony railing. The possibility of suicide is very low. You have to stick to the railing and climb over to the outside. It is simply a difficult action like juggling, and there is no reason for ordinary people suicide.

If he kills him, I'm afraid only people from Guoyou's family can do it.

Looking back at Guoyou and his wife with horrified faces: "The key is what happened 13 years ago."

With a serious expression, Henggou followed Guoyou and his wife and the fat housekeeper who was also sweating: "Mr. Guoyou, is Mr. Sekiguchi your friend?"

"Yes, yes," Mrs. Guoyou stammered, "He was my classmate in high school, and now he is the president of the security company, so..."

"The fingerprint recognition machine installed at the entrance on the third floor was also installed by Mr. Sekiguchi, right?"

"Correct."

"Allow me to take the liberty to ask," Henggou asked, "Where were you between 8:9 and [-] in the evening?"

"Hey, are you suspicious of us?" Mrs. Guoyou said dissatisfied, "My husband and I went to the hospital by car at 8 o'clock. My husband has a bad heart. Every month on the 3rd, I go to see an acquaintance." doctor……"

"Is it true?" Henggou approached with a big face.

"D-Of course it's true, Mian Yin drove us there! Isn't that right?" Mrs. Guoyou turned to the fat housekeeper and the others next to her.

"Master and Madam did leave home at around 8 o'clock," the fat butler helped to prove, "I came to the third floor at 8:5 to send Master and Madam to the car. At that time, Mr. Sekiguchi hadn't something happened..."

"The prisoner is you who stayed at home?"

"This one……"

"Officer Henggou," Gao Cheng looked at the evidence on the card for a while, and interrupted, "Let's ask about what happened 13 years ago. In fact, Guoyou's family also received the same threatening letter before, which said 'Repent of your crimes before I wake up, I am the soul of the fifth person'... It's just that Steward Akatsuka didn't elaborate when he came."

The fat butler met Gao Cheng's gaze, and his complexion changed again: "Actually, it was exactly 13 years ago, when the shipwreck on which the master's ship sank occurred. In the past, the master would take the whole family on a sea trip at this time every year. , but that time the ship ran aground at Suruga Bay...

"The master and wife, and Mr. Sekiguchi, who happened to be traveling together on a boat, were rescued after getting on the lifeboat, but everyone else disappeared. In the end, the sunken ship was never found. The missing ones included Moko's husband, who was in charge of eating and drinking on board, and others. It was the man who sailed the boat and his son, and the last one who died was my wife who was a maid in this house..."

The fat butler choked up as he spoke.

"She is a good wife who has helped me a lot as a housekeeper. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing..."
