Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 673 Goodbye, Our Church

Gao Cheng opened the incubator used to hold the fish, and found that there were a lot of fish in it, and there were finely crushed ice cubes at the bottom, which seemed to be bought from a supermarket.

"Slap!" Gao Cheng picked up a fish and was suddenly slapped by the fish's tail.

"Isn't it a dead fish?"

"Yes, yes..." the old man said in a daze, "It's been so long, they should all be dead... Are you okay?"

"fine."

With a dark face, Gao Cheng threw the fish back into the box, and grabbed the finely crushed ice cubes below.

"Is there any ice cubes in here?"

"I put it in a little bit, it was also used to keep it fresh..."

"Brother Chengdo," Mu Mu checked the empty fishing rod box, and asked Gao Cheng excitedly, "Is the murder weapon a large block of ice? Indeed, it will be very convenient to dispose of the murder weapon..."

"Probably not," Gao Cheng shook his head, "If ice was used to commit the crime, there should be splashes of crushed ice and water droplets, but there were no traces of crushed ice or water at the scene of the crime, and blood splashed from the scene Look, the murderer didn't wipe the floor after committing the crime..."

"What is the murder weapon?" Mu Mu frowned disappointedly, "The murderer stayed in this karaoke shop after committing the crime, so he should be very confident that our police will not find him..."

"That's true," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "But on the other hand, since the murderer didn't leave the murder weapon at the scene, it means that as long as the murder weapon is confirmed, the murderer's identity can be known."

"That," the old man asked Chi, "I thought it looked familiar before. May I ask if you are the famous detective Takanogi Kido who uncovered Kawatake Yori's scheme a few days ago?"

"It's not me." Gao Cheng closed the incubator and followed Mu Mu to the next private room.

"Huh? Isn't it?"

In the private room No. 2, which is the room of the long-faced and long-haired young man Kyouta Honma, all personal belongings were found and placed on the table. There was nothing like a murder weapon, and the only thing that people were more concerned about was a long cigarette.

"The company's karaoke competition is coming up soon, so I will practice here." Honma Kyouta explained.

"Is the company nearby?"

"No, it would be too embarrassing to be known by colleagues in the company, so I came here specially..."

"However," Mu Mu picked up the long cigarette that had been disassembled, "he actually brought a whole cigarette..."

"I'm a heavy smoker, so I always buy whole sticks..."

"Excuse me, take a look."

Mumu shakes out all the boxes of cigarettes, they are all new unopened cigarettes, nothing special about them.

"Cigarettes can't kill people..."

Mu Mu walked out of private room No. 2, and turned to private room No. 3 where Gao Cheng and the others had no good expectations: "Brother Chenghu, I trust you very much, but I brought the children here after school, and the one who was killed was the stalker again." Your people..."

"It's nothing, we don't have anything that can be used as a murder weapon anyway," Gao Cheng said after thinking, "Actually, we can already see some clues from the monitoring. No one is carrying a particularly conspicuous blunt weapon. Maybe we can think about it from another angle." ..."

"Changing the angle?" Mu Mu said sharply, "Have you thought of anything?"

"No……"

"Really, we've been very tired these days, don't joke, okay?"

After seeing the few people continue to check the No. 4 private room, Gao Cheng frowned and didn't follow in. He walked straight to the vending machine next to the toilet with his hands in his hands.

Combining all the details and clues, the suspicious person is actually very clear.

If there are no other accidents, the murderer should be Kyota Honma in Room 2. That's right, all that's left is evidence...

Gao Cheng closed his eyes slightly, recalling everything he saw in the No. 2 private room just now.

No matter what the murder weapon is, it is bound to be stained with blood. If the murderer doesn't want to bother cleaning it, he should wrap it up with something. It can be seen from the fact that the bearded man was covered with a suit to prevent the blood from spraying on his body...

"I've searched all the rooms," Mu Mu walked out of private room No. 4 in distress, and looked at Gao Cheng, "I even searched for the toilet."

"Police!" Qianye hurried back to the scene with a stack of photos, "The photos in the victim's camera have been developed, and it looks like a stalker!"

"is it?"

"It's all pictures of Xiaolan and the others..."

Gao Cheng took the photos and checked them one by one. Just as he thought, the target of the bearded man was Yuanzi. Almost every photo was centered on Yuanzi. There were silly ones and cute ones, showing his stalker skills to the fullest.

Although Sonoko was indeed a cute high school girl when she was not a nymphomaniac, but she was staring at Sonoko even though Xiaolan was there, probably because she knew Sonoko's identity as the eldest lady, the bearded man was not an ordinary stalker...

Gao Cheng's eyes were fixed.

If the bearded man is a kidnapper, then we can carefully consider the motive of the prisoner, as long as we investigate it, we should be able to gain something...

"So it's a stalker," Yuanzi and Xiaolan were taken aback, "It's disgusting..."

"If it's a stalker, doesn't it have nothing to do with us?" The old man and the others approached and said, "We don't even know the person who was killed..."

"Officer Mumu," Gao Cheng said calmly, "I think as long as we investigate the related kidnapping case, there may be unexpected gains. The victim is probably not just a simple stalker."

"Kidnapping?" Mu Mu looked vigilantly at the suspects who wanted to leave, "Indeed, if the victim is a repeat offender, he might have offended someone before."

"But, but," Kyota Honma sweated on his forehead, "Didn't we find the murder weapon? This means that we are not the murderer..."

"As for the murder weapon, of course there is."

Gao Cheng looked at the young man with long hair and said with a smile: "This should be one of the crime locations chosen by the murderer. There are toilets and cigarette vending machines, but the surveillance cannot capture them, and the victim happened to choose the box inside... "

"What about this?"

"Deal with the murder weapon. In fact, the murder weapon that I haven't been able to find has been thrown into this vending machine behind me by the murderer..."

Gao Cheng put his hands together to meet everyone's blank gaze.

"That's right, the murder weapon is a coin. The coins that each of us can carry on our bodies are just that the murderer packed a lot of coins together and used them as a murder weapon."

"Haha," the man in the vest laughed, "little brother, can coins kill people?"

"Of course, one coin may be nothing, but it will have considerable power after hundreds of coins. About 300 10-yuan coins are equivalent to about 1.5kg of copper..."

Gao Cheng looked at the long-haired young man with affirmative gaze: "It's like putting stones in a bag as a weapon. A large number of coins can already kill people. Mr. Kyota Honma, can you explain?"

"What?" The long-haired young man came back to his senses and swallowed dryly.

"If it's a whole pack of cigarettes, the production date should be the same day, but yours is not. Did you really buy a whole stick?" Gao Cheng asked.

"Mr. Honma bought cigarettes with coins?!" Mumu's eyes widened, and all the clues were connected, "That's why the cigarettes that Mr. Yujing wanted to buy were sold out...but where is the bag used to hold the coins?"

"It should be Mr. Honma's socks." Gao Cheng looked at Kyota Honma's feet, "The police usually don't check the socks with blood stains hidden like this... However, even if you don't check the socks, you just need to investigate them automatically The large amount of coins in the vending machine can also be used to find decisive evidence. It is not easy to wear gloves in this kind of place, the coins are probably full of fingerprints..."

"Hmph," Honma Kyota lowered his head, "Someone may come to the toilet at any time, I just want to use up all those coins quickly, where is the time to think about fingerprints..."

Mumu walked towards Kyouta Honma seriously: "So, you killed Mr. Tatsumi Maoting?"

"Detective Kido is right," Kyota Honma looked at Gaocheng, gritted his teeth and turned to private room No. 5, "That man is the kidnapper, the kidnapping incident that happened on Okuho Street a year ago, he was the one who kidnapped my son , and after I called the police, my 4-year-old son vented his anger and killed him..."

Mu Mu thought about it, and said in surprise: "There was indeed a kidnapping case at that time, and the suspect seemed to be locked, but because the evidence was not sufficient, it was decided not to prosecute, could it be..."

"That's right," Honma Kyota smiled bitterly, "Because there was no murder weapon, that man used the same method as me... It would have been nice if Detective Kido had been there."

……

When I left the karaoke shop, the sky had completely darkened, and Mihua Town had officially become a world of neon lights, completely isolated from the murder case that just happened.

Gao Cheng watched for a while by the side of the road, and was about to send Yuanzi and the others home when he was suddenly stopped by Hondo Yingyou.

"Ex-senior, thank you."

"Huh?" Gao Cheng turned around in doubt, "It's nothing, you couldn't be the murderer in the first place."

"It's not just this," Hondo Eisuke breathed out, "I've been wanting to thank Senior for your care during this period of time, I..."

"It's nothing, shouldn't it be right to take care of juniors?" Gao Cheng smiled and waved his hands to follow Yuanzi, "Don't worry your sister anymore, go back."

"Yes!" Hondo Yingyou regained his spirits and watched Gao Cheng leave with great vigor.

The green light at the intersection turned on, Xiaolan, Conan, and Hondo Eisuke went home from the other side, only Sonoko pulled Gao Cheng across the road.

Maybe because he noticed Gao Cheng's dazed gaze, Yuanzi blushed and explained, "I don't have Xiaolan's skill, if there is a stalker, I will be in trouble..."
