Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 686 The Notebook

The overcast sky was covered with dark clouds, and there were gusts of cold wind blowing in the village. Hattori returned to find Tatsuo's house after being separated from Gao Cheng.

When he thought of the possible serial murders, he was more excited than vigilant. As a reasoning maniac similar to Kudo, there were not many such opportunities.

This time, it might be possible to overwhelm the high success...

"Kusu didn't say anything, but after Yoshiro passed away, Kouji always seemed to be very scared..." the owner of the Ryuo family, Yuishi Ryuo, responded when Hattori questioned him.

"Afraid?" Hattori touched his chin.

"Yeah, even when I was eating, I always muttered non-stop. Maybe I will be next... I will be killed... I will be killed by a curse... like this..."

Longwei, the old mother of Longwei, Longwei Shengdai appeared behind, said with his hands behind his back, "It is a curse handed down from generation to generation by the Hutian family who hate our Longwei family!"

"Old lady," Hattori asked cautiously, "Why is the relationship between your two families so bad?"

"Because a long time ago..."

The old man thought for a while, but suddenly he couldn't answer: "Huh? What's the reason... I was taught to hate the Hutian family when I was a child, but I forgot the reason..."

In the evening, it rained heavily in the mountains accompanied by the sound of thunder. Hattori couldn’t go back to Hutian’s house on the mountain road, so he had to call Kazuba and say that he would spend the night at Tatsuo’s house. He also talked to Gao Cheng about Tatsuo’s house. Case.

"Yeah, Mr. Koji seemed to have noticed it before he was killed. He said in fear that it would be his turn next, and he also said that he would be killed by a curse... I don't know the meaning of the curse. I don’t know, it’s possible that I didn’t tell you…”

Hattori leaned against the window of the room and called: "There is also the matter of the Kai patrolman. It is said that he fell off the cliff because he was too tired to practice riding and shooting. It seems that he practiced desperately because he didn't hit the target at the celebration that year. There are also rumors of suicide..."

"No matter what, you won't fall off the cliff with the horse, right?" Gao Cheng frowned, "Did that Mr. A Jing say that?"

"It's his wife," Hattori explained, "However, the old lady also thinks it shouldn't be. That Kai patrolman is a very good person, and it is impossible for him to be hit by a single mistake..."

Gao Cheng silently ended the call and went back to his room.

What is certain is that this continuous incident is related to the death of the Kai policeman six years ago, and the two people who have been killed are insiders, and it is likely that it is not just those two people who know the inside story.

Gao Cheng thought of Shigeji Torata who hesitated.

The key is to know what happened 6 years ago and what these people know.

The actions of the murderer behind the scenes are either for revenge or for silence. Judging from the current situation, the latter is much more likely...

Gao Cheng sighed softly and got into the bed on the tatami.

This is the case with solving a case. It is always troublesome to collect information, especially when testimony is required. Not everyone can tell the truth. If you are not careful, you will get the wrong direction.

However, with more and more clues, the truth will definitely be found out, but it must be done before the murderer destroys it.

"Boom!" The sound of rain and thunder filled the night, and the next room was where Xiao Ai and He Ye lived. Every time lightning illuminated the room, it was followed by a boom.

He Ye couldn't sleep no matter what, grabbed the quilt and looked at the paper window and door worryingly, but Xiao Ai next to him was sleeping peacefully.

"Xiao Ai?" He Ye called out worriedly.

"Huh?" Xiao Ai opened her eyelids.

"Did you hear any strange noises?"

"No……"

"Aren't you scared at all?" He Ye looked at the calm Xiao Ai and became more and more entangled. He didn't expect her to be worse than a child.

"If there is anything abnormal, you can yell," Xiao Ai yawned, "Remember to put on your clothes, and Kido will rush over."

"Eh?"

One night passed, and the next morning the heavy rain finally stopped, and it seemed that the weather would be fine. He Ye had dark circles under his eyes, and was worried all night but nothing happened.

"morning."

Gao Cheng looked suspiciously at Heye, who seemed to have not slept well, and asked Xiao Ai to follow Heye closely, and went out with Hutian Yui, who got up early, and left Hutian's house.

Six years ago, the cliff where the policeman in Kai had an accident was indeed off the cliff, and almost no one seemed to walk. If there were fallen leaves covering the body at the end of the year, it would be normal for no one to find out.

"Kirodo... Detective Kido," Hutian Yui followed Gao Cheng, looking at Gao Cheng who was contemplating and inspecting with some hesitation, "You have a good relationship with Officer Yamato, right? Because he rarely agrees with people in that way." look..."

"Actually, I only saw it once," Gao Cheng turned around and asked, "What is the relationship between Mrs. Hutian and the policeman Kai who was killed six years ago?"

"Eh?"

"Because Mrs. Torata is more concerned about the death of the Italian policeman than anyone else..."

"The Kai patrolman is a respectable person," Hutian Yui paused, and kept silent, "Can we go back?"

"I'm afraid it's not enough," Gao Cheng didn't ask further, "I still have a place I want to see besides this place, which is the cave you mentioned yesterday, the cave Mr. Fanci went to before he found your husband's body... I I want to know what Mr. Fanci is hiding."

Tomada Yui looked straight at Gao Cheng, unlike the Hattori who was also a detective, Gao Cheng's youthful appearance was somewhat calm.

"Okay, I'll take you there..."

On the top of the mountain, a wooden house was built in front of a not-so-high broken wall. The site looked like a construction site, and there was a cave like a mine next to it. The excavated earth and rocks were everywhere, and a "block" was erected at the entrance of the cave. Do not enter" sign.

"This is……"

"It's where Fanji and the others searched for Takeda Shingen's treasure," explained Yui Torata, "After discovering documents and maps that seemed to be related to Takeda Shingen's secret gold mountain in the warehouse of Torata's family, Fanji became obsessed with digging treasures. I Husband, Mr. Koji, Mr. Jing and Linghua, seem to be involved too..."

"It's Takeda Shingen again..."

Gao Cheng walked around the cave, stepped on the sand and walked into the wooden house next to him.

The door wasn't locked, but there didn't seem to be anything too important inside, it was messy, like a converted warehouse office.

That sloppy, obsessed with treasures, Hutian Shigeru also has some ability. He built such a place on this kind of mountain, and it seems that there is water and electricity...

Gao Cheng walked to the table and found a notebook among a pile of drawings. Unlike other excavation and construction documents, it seemed to be a diary.

"I've seen this," Hutian Yui suddenly said, "My husband Yoshiro brought it home before. Although he didn't let me see what was written in it, I didn't expect it to be placed in such a place..."

"The treasure hunting process is written on it, and there seems to be an exchange diary." Gao Cheng flipped through several pages, "Are you sure you and your husband have the same one?"

"It should be..." Hutian Yui wondered, "Is there anything wrong with this notebook?"

"The problem is big..."

Gao Cheng closed the notebook.

"What is certain is that there are four people's handwriting in this notebook. I'm afraid two of them are your husband, Mr. Yoshiro, and Mr. Koji, who was also killed..."
