Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 680 Got the "Cowherd" Card

"Brother Kido," Mitsuhiko and the others followed Gao Cheng to get food in the forest outside the house, "Isn't that big brother really the grandson of the old lady?"

"Of course it is. Even if you are visiting a friend's grandma, you are too familiar with the Tanaka family." Gao Cheng returned to the forest car and opened the trunk, "Even if you are familiar with goldfish, you can see swimming in the fish tank at a glance." There were a total of 12 goldfish swimming, and only those who had raised these goldfish could do it...

"I got lost on purpose and came here to stay overnight. It was probably specially arranged to meet grandma secretly."

"But why do you do this?" Mitsuhiko asked confusedly, "If you want to see grandma..."

"Probably because I didn't dare to see my old lady. I left home 10 years ago to be a chef, but ended up working as a waitress, and got plastic surgery because of it..."

"Then why didn't brother Chenghu tell the old woman? Isn't the old woman always waiting for her grandson?"

"It's no longer necessary..."

Gao Cheng tidied up the ingredients and looked at the big house with thatched roof across the forest.

The heavy rain has subsided, and there is a hint of whiteness in the sky, reflecting this big folk-style house quite harmoniously.

If there hadn't been a murder case, it would have seemed a bit peaceful...

"Didn't I say that? The old woman hid the kitchen knife to protect her grandson. That knife was supposed to be a gift when her grandson came back as an excellent chef, so it was well maintained, but..."

In Gao Cheng's mind, the image of the old man cooking curry in the kitchen appeared in his mind.

"But 10 years later, when I meet my grandson, he is a stranger. The grandson who has changed in appearance and aspirations... Perhaps it is because of this that I sharpen my knife in the early morning. In order to get my grandson back on the right track, I put all my hopes on that gift The grandson's kitchen knife is on..."

"That is to say, the old lady recognized her grandson from the very beginning?" Ayumi asked in surprise.

"Even if the appearance changes, there are always some things that cannot be changed," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "Let's go, at least we can have a meal."

"Brother Kido really has no ambition..."

"..."

Gao Cheng's eyelids drooped, and suddenly his heart moved. With the case settlement system, a new card was added.

"Cowherd?"

Looking at the brand new cards in the system, Gao Cheng was a little dazed.

I went, how could I get a "Cowherd" card?

He just happened to get the job of a prisoner...

"What's the matter, Brother Kido?" Ayumi looked at Gao Cheng with a strange expression, "Is there any question?"

"No, I'm going to catch up on sleep."

Gao Cheng felt that he had better keep the "Cowboy" card dusted up. It was impossible to be a male waiter in this life, and it seemed that it would not be of much help in investigating the case.

What's the use...

Gao Cheng frowned and thought hard.

Maybe when you need to pretend to be a cowherd to work, no matter what it is, it is a technology.

……

After the rain, the weather was fine, and I didn’t encounter any troubles when I went camping, but in the end I only played for one day and then returned to Tokyo. There was a murder case at the beginning, and I wasn’t in the mood to play.

Sometimes I feel that if I really want to have a good time, I must first kick Conan away...

"Hey, hey," Tokyo Mihua, Conan protested on the phone, "Don't blame me for everything, okay? You are the one who got lost, and you are the one who found the old woman's place to stay... Let's not talk about that, the FBI Is there any news in the past few days? It is the new member of the organization mentioned last time, the one code-named Bourbon."

"Not yet, don't worry too much."

Gao Cheng is still sorting out materials in the office.

The code name is Bourbon. If there is no accident, it should be the Japanese public security undercover "Zero", but I don't know if the alias will be "Amuro Toru".

The features should be fairly obvious anyway.

Light blond hair, hairstyle similar to Hondo Eisuke's, skin is wheat complexion, pupil color is purple-gray... This is what anime looks like in my impression, but I don't know how the world is going, if I see it, it shouldn't be difficult to recognize .

After all, no matter what image there is, there will definitely be something different from ordinary people, and no matter how hard this elite hides it, they are confident to find it out.

"In short, that's it for now, I have something to do later..."

Gao Cheng hangs up the phone wearily.

After finally completing the commission of Reina Mizumu, troubles are coming again. No matter what plans Toru Amuro has, he will definitely find a way to make meritorious service and enter the core of the organization.

It's hard to say whether Toru Amuro is an enemy or a friend. If he can gain the trust of the organization by sacrificing someone like him, maybe that guy will really do it...

Putting the organization aside for the time being, Gao Cheng packed the table, put on his suit jacket and hurried downstairs.

The cases in Tokyo still haven't decreased. While they were camping, Mihua committed another suicide by burning charcoal, and it was a client who had been in contact with him.

A young girl suddenly found him a month ago and asked him to find her missing boyfriend, but then she suddenly said that she had found her boyfriend.

Now the girl committed suicide by burning charcoal. After the police ruled out the possibility of homicide, they still hoped that he would go and have a look.

"Suicide?"

Gao Cheng felt a little heavy.

Charcoal-burning suicides are the most serious when the bubble economy collapses, but they are still often seen in newspapers after many years, much more than Japan in the other world.

At most, I can feel it when I see it on the news, but it is much more uncomfortable when I encounter it myself. I encountered it when I went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Supervision Hospital last time. At that time, there was a website where suicides gathered.

Not only the desperate elders, but also young people, who obviously don't understand anything and don't cherish their lives at all.

"Kirodo-kun!"

The agreed meeting place was at the place where the funeral ceremony was held. Gao Mu waited on the side of the road early in the morning, and immediately waved after seeing Gao Cheng.

"How is it?" Gao Cheng looked towards the mourning hall, and there were already many people in black dresses who put down the envelopes containing the funeral money at the door, with solemn and sad expressions, and crying could be heard inside the mourning hall.

It was already the second day's farewell ceremony. Unlike the whole night, most of the relatives and friends came to see the deceased for the last time before cremation...

"Over there." Takagi gestured to look at a young man in a black suit by the flower bed outside, a lonely figure, sitting by the flower bed and watching the video repeatedly, with dry tears remaining on his face.

"Is he that boyfriend?" Gao Cheng asked.

"Well, I've been sitting there for a long time, and I've been watching videos of my girlfriend from before..." Gao Mu faced the sad young man, feeling uncomfortable himself, and thought of Sato for some reason.

"Has it really been confirmed that it was suicide?" Takagi reconfirmed.

"He has an alibi, and the situation at the scene is indeed a suicide," Takagi affirmed, "We also checked the situation of the deceased, and recently went to the hospital because of depression, and there are quite obvious signs on social networks and diaries. suicidal tendencies..."

Gao Cheng fell silent.

Let him come here just in case. In fact, not all cases are homicides. Since he became a special adviser to the Metropolitan Police Department, such cases are not uncommon.

It hurts every time you encounter it.

Even if he is a detective, there is still nothing he can do about the suicide case. He cannot save people, and it is difficult to recover anything. Occasionally, he just finds out the cause of the suicide and comforts the family members.

In comparison, the Andalai case is much easier...

With a responsible attitude, Gao Cheng first followed Gao Mu into the mourning hall to check the girl's body.

Because of the strong objection of the family, the girl was not sent for an autopsy, and it can only be seen from the surface that she died of suffocation.

The girl in the coffin looked very peaceful. After Gao Cheng confirmed that it was the client he had contact with, he quickly left the mourning hall and followed Gao Mu to the girl's apartment to check.

"It should be a suicide, and nothing suspicious was found." Gao Cheng walked out of the apartment after reading the case information.

"That's it."

Takagi breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, he and Sato were responsible for the case. If he made a mistake, it would be a disaster, and his relationship with Sato might be affected.

"Excuse me, Kido-kun..."

"It's nothing, it's a client, and I'm not working today." Gao Cheng quickly settled his mood, "There seems to be a good restaurant nearby, do you want to go together?"

"I'm still on duty," Takagi said with a wry smile, "Speaking of which, Kido-kun also encountered a case in Gunma County, right?"

"I happened to meet..."

Gao Cheng thought of the old lady Tanaka and her grandson who maintained a tacit understanding until the end, and Kahara Fuga almost ate the last meal in tears.

After 10 years, sneaking back home, it is really sad to think about it. Sometimes there is too much helplessness in this society, but Kahara Fuga is at least still working hard.

"Ok?"

Gao Cheng suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked at a restaurant on the side of the street, and unexpectedly saw Xiangyuan Fengya who was dressed in a more ordinary way.

"Please!" Kahara Fuga bowed forcefully, "I really need this job, please let me sit up from apprentice..."

"It's been said that there is no shortage of people in the kitchen, Tanaka... well, forget it, let's try it first."

"Thank you, thank you very much!"

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, smiled and watched Kahara Fuya gratefully follow into the restaurant.

The old lady's expectations have not failed after all, and the world is not only hopeless...

Although the path of being a chef may not be easy, it is always good to be able to stick to one's ideals. Learning slowly and accumulating experience will at least allow you to face up to your own life.
