Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 816 Inufushiro, the last entrustment
"Stop quickly, there is a cliff ahead!"

In the forest, a woman riding a small motorcycle suddenly caught up and shouted anxiously, almost colliding with Gao Cheng.

"Ah?" Gao Cheng stepped on the brakes, only to find that there was a warning sign on the side of the road saying the danger of the cliff.

"How can there be a road leading to the cliff in such a place?"

"Who are you?" The woman stopped the motorcycle, took off the helmet, and looked at Gao Cheng curiously. He was dressed in a shirt and had a neat ponytail. He was probably in his 20s.

"Sorry, I got lost by accident," Gao Cheng asked while reversing the car, "Can I ask if there is a family named Inufu near here?"

"I'm from the Inufushi family," the woman said blankly, "What's the matter with you?"

……

Inufushi's house is halfway up the mountain. It is called Inufushi Castle nearby. It looks like an ancient Japanese castle. It seems to be the place where the city owner lived in the past. The highest place can overlook the entire village below the mountain.

"Okay, I'll take you to see Suo Chen's mother."

The little motorcycle woman I met in the mountains was named Inufushi Yukihime, and she was one of the eight adopted children of the Inufushi family. Since the death of the owner of the Inubushi family, Inufushi Hengdi, the chairman of the Inubushi Group, the past illegitimate children were all killed. After picking it up, she was adopted by the old lady as an adopted child to live with her.

Now the Inufushi family seems to have only the old lady Inufu Suochen and eight adopted children.

"However," Inufushi Yukihime led Gaocheng and the old man who had never made a sound through the corridor, stopped outside a room, and said with some worry, "Mom fell ill a few days ago, I have been bedridden and unable to speak..."

The old man looked shocked: "How, how? She..."

"Who are these two guests, Yukihime?" A middle-aged woman with fluffy short hair appeared on the other side of the corridor and asked after seeing Gao Cheng.

"Ah, Katiko-san," Inufushi Yukihime quickly explained when she saw the short-haired girl, "This is the famous detective Kido Kosei from Tokyo, and Mr. Seto, they said they want to see their mother..."

"A famous detective?" The woman looked at Gao Cheng unexpectedly, "but mom is unconscious most of the time now."

"What's going on?" the old man asked eagerly.

"It's a cerebral infarction..."

The woman pushed open the door, and in the spacious and empty tatami room, an old lady with silver hair was lying unconscious on the bed. There were not many wrinkles on her face, and she could vaguely see her youthful beauty, but this time Very haggard.

A middle-aged doctor wearing a white coat and glasses was taking care of the old lady. Seeing Gao Cheng, he introduced: "My name is Inufushi Zhihuang, and I work in the nearby Inufushi Hospital. Whenever I have time, I will come back to take care of my adoptive mother. Actually It should be better to be hospitalized, but she is getting old, so she decided to take care of her at home... Well, what can you do with her?"

The old man Seto knelt on the tatami beside him, tears streaming down his cloudy eyes, and his body trembling.

"It's really her... princess, it's been so many years..."

"Oh?" The middle-aged doctor Quan Fuzhihuang raised his eye sockets and asked in surprise, "Do you also know the name of adoptive mother?"

"This one……"

Gao Cheng smiled awkwardly, he couldn't say that the old man came to find his first love.

"Actually, Mr. Seto was friends with your adoptive mother when you were young. At that time, you kept calling me Princess..."

"So that's how it is," Inubushi Yukihime said happily, "Although everyone calls her Mama Princess Suohime, but I heard that it was because of my father who kept calling me that. I thought it was because of Inufushiro."

"Yes, is it?" Gao Cheng looked at the old man beside him from the corner of his eye.

The old man Seto has been choking up and crying, as if he has completely forgotten the people of the Inubushu family around him. His old tears are full of regret and nostalgia, and at the same time, there is a touch of relief.

Even though I didn't even have the chance to say a word, I still met one side after all.

It's not easy.

In the evening, Gao Cheng planned to stay at Inufushi's house, and took the old man away the next day, but after seeing the old lady, the old man seemed to be a different person, and suddenly lost his original spirit, his face was full of gray , I was rushed to the Inubushi Hospital at the foot of the mountain without even being able to eat dinner.

The unexpected turn of events caught Gao Cheng by surprise.

"It's an advanced stage of cancer," the middle-aged doctor Inufushi shook his head, and explained to Gaocheng outside the ward, "It's a miracle that it lasted until today. It's hard to believe that he followed Detective Kido to find our Inufushi's house. I'm afraid It's been a hard night...does he have any family?"

"I haven't heard from him, it seems that I have been alone all the time."

Gao Cheng quietly looked at the unconscious old man Seto in the ward. The old man with his eyes closed closed completely lost all his air. Finally, he couldn't dislike him anymore, and he talked about the sleeping Kogoro from morning till night.

This bastard old man, when he came here, he said that there would be an additional commission fee, but now he has to pay the medical expenses in advance...

"Is there really no hope?" Gao Cheng looked at Inufushi Chiaki again and asked.

Inufushi Chiaki shook his head silently.

"I'm afraid he already knew about his situation. If he had been in the hospital, he could have persisted for a while. Now..."

Gao Cheng looked at the old man with weak breathing in the ward and sighed: "This is also his own choice, at least he took one last look."

"Ah?" Inufushi Chiaki was a little confused, "Look at my adoptive mother?"

"It's nothing, let him rest in peace at last."

Gao Cheng walked out of the hospital and looked up at the night sky outside.

Sure enough, the starry sky that cannot be seen in the city is much clearer in the mountains, and in this direction, you can vaguely see the roof of Inubushi Castle bathed in the moonlight on the mountain.

Anyway, this commission is completed...

The old man Seto still couldn't make it to the second day, and he seemed to be really alone. Even though Gao Cheng dragged the police, he couldn't find the old man's family, and Gao Cheng was with him until the last moment.

However, he found the hospital where the old man was originally staying, and after contacting him, entrusted a relative of the old man who worked in the hospital to help with the funeral.

A week later, seeing the ashes of the old man being put into the funeral home with his own eyes, Gao Chengcai bowed seriously and left to return to Tokyo.

Even though he was used to seeing life and death, he still didn't like things like death, even though the old man was just an ordinary client, so even when he returned to the office, his heart was heavy, and he didn't regain his composure until he saw Xiao Ai.

"I am back."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Ai, who stayed at home watching TV because of the holiday, was unprepared for Gao Cheng's return. He heard the sound of the door opening and saw Gao Cost before he realized it. He was about to clean up the messy snack bags, but found that Gao Cheng was a little absent-minded. .

Gao Cheng smiled and changed his coat, and went into the bathroom to wash his face a little tiredly.

"I encountered some situations..."

"So the commission fee is gone?"

"I also returned the deposit..."

"Miss?"

"The commission is completed, but..." Gao Cheng sniffed his nose, looked at Xiao Ai and said, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

"Wait for me," Xiao Ai quickly jumped off the sofa, opened the refrigerator to look for ingredients, "Today, Yuanzi and I prepared a lot of ingredients..."

"Huh? Shouldn't you be staying at Yuanzi's house?" Gao Cheng was stunned.

"I can't sleep in the bed outside," Xiao Ai put on her apron with her eyes drooped, and reminded her back, "By the way, that one from Osaka came to look for you today, and then went to the house next door."

"I'm sure I'm bringing Ye He to play again, or there is something troublesome," Gao Cheng said sleepily looking at the darkening sky outside, "Let's talk about it tomorrow, I need to take a good rest."

……

"Curse, curse?"

Mori Detective Agency, Xiaolan, who was watching TV with Uncle and Conan in the living room, was panicked by the sudden visit of Hattori and Kazuha.

"That's right," He Ye Sha said in fear, "It seems that among the eight people, some counterfeit people who hold a grudge against the Inufushi family have mixed in, and plan to use the cursed magic dog to make the Inufushi family die!"

Xiao Lan, who has always been super concerned about things like ghosts and ghosts, turned pale and said in shock: "Are you going to deal with the magic dog?"

"Actually, that person originally wanted to find my dad who is the Minister of Criminal Affairs in Osaka Prefecture, but he couldn't leave Osaka," He Ye said with a helpless smile, "so I had to let us see what's going on first?"

"Then why did you come to Tokyo..."

"That man lives in Tokyo. He felt that he would be killed too, so he gave up his inheritance rights and left Inufushi's house. He even changed his surname back to his mother's surname. We will visit tomorrow," Hattori said with a grin, "See You will definitely be shocked by that person’s name.”

Mori Kogoro was drinking tea not too cold, raised his eyebrows and hummed: "Anyway, don't get me wrong, I still want to watch the TV series starring Miss Yoko."

Hearing this, Hattori looked at Kazuya and Xiaolan who were unlikely to go together, pulled Conan away and said, "Then this brat will go with me."

After all, Tokyo is not his territory. In fact, he really wanted to bring Gao Cheng with him, but the lady who was alone at home said that Gao Cheng was on a business trip.
