Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 815 Gunma County and the old man's client

After the Longma Exhibition incident, the detective agency finally got busy again. Gao Cheng received an entrustment to travel to Qunma County, so he had to let Xiao Ai stay at Yuanzi's house for a few days.

It is worth mentioning that although no cases have been solved, the system interface has changed. Due to long-term practice, "Baseball" has been automatically promoted to the proficiency level, along with Japanese history and investigation and counter-investigation.

……

The abilities that have been fully learned will be included in the system. Except for the language class, most of them are started by him through the system card.

Now it seems that daily learning can indeed promote the transformation from entry to proficiency, but it is not as comprehensive as the system card, and it is not so stable. I feel that the "proficiency" of professional experts in the future can only rely on the system card. Ability is upgraded to proficiency.

In addition, the camouflage card is still the same, and Kidd's powered flight suit was upgraded by the old man from Kuroba Kaito last time. After all, having power is much better than no power.

On this day, Gao Cheng drove to Gunma County alone, planning to go to the Guangluo Hotel where he had booked a room to rest for a night. In fact, there was only this hotel in the forest. He heard that the owner of the hotel had been killed before, so he took it over. People don't know why they didn't change their names, and they continued to greet passing travelers.

Because of the legend of Kappa in this remote place, there are still many tourists. When passing through the forest road on the road, Gao Chengcheng encountered a tourist who stopped by the side of the road.

I probably went to the Hell Swamp, the legendary Kappa habitat in this area.

Guangluo Hotel is on the upper reaches of the river. Driving along the road, you can gradually see the roof of a hotel located on a high ground.

Gao Cheng and the client made an appointment to meet here.

Probably very few people would go all the way to Tokyo to invite him, but such a business trip is considered a habit, after all, the commission fee is quite a lot, and they will have to travel in the end.

"Really? I was looking for the sleeping Kogoro?" Gao Cheng's brows twitched.

When Guangluo Hotel met with a client who was not young, he was complained before he had a formal conversation. The other party seemed to be quite disappointed after seeing him, thinking that he was a child detective.

"When the former owner of this hotel was killed, it was the sleeping Kogoro who solved the case," the old client said regretfully, "It's a pity that he couldn't be contacted anyway. He said he was busy with other cases, so I had to invite you here." gone."

"Hello..."

Gao Cheng's face darkened when he saw the old man sighing.

He really doesn't know that the uncle solved the case here, but Conan presumably solved it...

"At that time, the owner of the hotel was drowned by the stinky swamp water 10 kilometers away in the attic. Everyone thought it was the Kappa who did it. Only Mr. Maori thought it was man-made," the old man continued. Using a pile of paint bottles to commit crimes here, and then diluting the paint saved in the straws with tap water and putting them back into the paint bottles...is quite a wonderful reasoning!"

Gao Cheng propped his chin, his eyelids almost clenched.

"Sorry, can you talk about the specific commission first?"

After finally dealing with the client, Gao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and went back to his room first.

But even though he didn't like the old man's tone very much, he was somewhat curious about the murder that happened here, because the murderer's motive for the murder was not announced in the end, and there were few news reports.

According to the hotel staff, it was not the uncle who solved the case, but the mountain village police department at that time.

That's right, it's the mountain village fucker, the stupid policeman who can be encountered almost every case in Gunma County. I don't know whether that guy is lucky or not. He can always meet the Mori family, but he was promoted to the police department because of this. .

After taking a shower, Gao Cheng wore a bathrobe and went up to the attic where the crime scene was said to be.

Just like what the staff said, you can see the small river winding through the verdant forest below from the attic window. The former hotel owner often used binoculars to monitor here. the dead son's mistakes.

"Sure enough, it's really the famous young detective Kido Gaocheng," a bearded man with coral hair followed him up to the attic and said in surprise when he saw Gao Cheng, "Are you here to investigate the last case? The case has already been solved... ..."

"Ah, no," Gao Cheng withdrew his gaze from the outside, "I'm just curious, so I came to have a look..."

"It's a sad thing to say," the bearded man sighed and introduced himself, "I was a reporter who lived here at the time, and I was originally investigating the Kappa 11 years ago. In the hotel business, he pretended to be a kappa without telling the boss and caused a lot of commotion. Unexpectedly, 11 years later, his son’s teacher mistakenly thought that the boss killed the student in order to attract customers..."

"It turns out that this is the truth about the kappa incident."

Gao Cheng was stunned.

"Did that kid have an accident while pretending to be a kappa?"

"Yeah, because everyone said that Kappa only appeared when the weather was warm, and I was a little suspicious. The kid went there when the weather was bad and cold, and he encountered floods. It was also from then on, as soon as the boss who knew the truth had Kong will come here to monitor the river with binoculars, and has stopped many tourists..."

The bearded man looked helpless.

"If everyone knew the truth from the beginning, the boss would not have been killed because of a misunderstanding."

Gao Cheng said silently: "If you don't get close, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened."

"Who said it wasn't? It's too late for the teacher to regret it in the end," the bearded man said at the end, looked at Gao Cheng and asked refreshedly, "By the way, Detective Chenghu came here, did any cases happen?"

"I happen to have a job here." Gao Cheng thought of the old man who always talked about Kogoro Moori.

The old man gave a lot of entrustment fees, but he wanted him to help find his first love, saying that he had a good life in a few days, and wanted to meet again for the last time.

Sure enough, the request to find Uncle Mori first is always so special.

Gao Cheng only stayed at the Guangluo Hotel for one night, and when he left the next morning he didn't even meet the reporter again.

Murder cases in the countryside are relatively less than in the cities, but they are not uncommon, and tragedies caused by misunderstandings like the Guangluo Hotel are just one of them.

Sometimes the meaning of detectives looking for the truth is here, but if the teacher is willing to hire a reliable detective to investigate, it will not cause irreparable consequences.

At least since he became a private detective, he has been quite responsible for every commission, and perhaps he has resolved many conflicts invisibly.

Japan is a mountainous country, as can be seen from various small-scale battles during the Warring States Period. After receiving the commission, Gao Cheng also drove the old man around the mountains. In addition to comparing maps, he often asked locals to ask questions.

It's just that after passing through a field at the foot of the mountain, Gao Cheng accidentally broke into the forest, and by the time he realized it, he had lost his way.

"Old man...Mr. Seto, is the map you found reliable?"

Gao Cheng felt that he was going in the wrong direction, but he could only continue to look at the car and wait until he left the mountain.

"Aren't all the maps the same?" The old man snorted, "It's obvious that you lost your way, if it was Maori detective..."

"Okay, let's go out and talk."

Gao Cheng could hear the cocoon in his ears, and quickly interrupted: "But you have too few clues. The first lover decades ago, even knew that the other party was called a princess, and later married into a wealthy family in Qunma County. ...You can't be in love, can you?"

The old man was furious, and puffed up his face to explain: "It's all happened more than 50 years ago, who can remember it clearly?!"

"But," Gao Cheng continued to drive in the forest, "if the other party is still alive, he would be 74 years old, right? Is he really still alive?"

The old man fell silent, folded his arms and hummed: "We made an agreement back then, she will definitely walk behind me..."

Stubborn old man.

Gao Cheng shook his head secretly.

Even if you are still alive, you have been married for so many years, and you don't know how many grandchildren you have. Is it really meaningful to meet again?

"This is already the third place. I heard that the Inufushi family here is a big family, and the hostess is also very qualified, so I brought you here. If it doesn't work..."

"Last time," the old man said with cloudy eyes, "just the last time, I will add more commission fees!"

Gao Cheng said helplessly: "Let's find a way out first..."
