Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 817
The next day, several police cars stopped at the door of the building whose owner was named "Kudo Shinichi". The pronunciation was the same as "Kudo Shinichi".

Gao Cheng got out of one of the police cars and looked up to find Hattori and Conan on the balcony on the second floor.

Sure enough, it was these two guys again...

"And then?" Mu Muchao asked the housekeeping aunt at the scene, "According to what you said, the victim was already dead when you came today, and then someone called and said to lock the victim in the bedroom closet, and wait for you to open it. After the sealed cabinet outside, it was found that the victim of carbon monoxide poisoning had a charcoal stove inside, and then the prisoner asked you to pretend to commit suicide...

"Can you think of who the culprit might be? For example, who held grudges against the victim..."

"Well, actually..." Sweat broke out on the aunt's face. Of course, she was one of the suspects who had quarreled with the owner of the house, and the others were not clear.

"It should have something to do with the magic dog of the Inubushi family," Hattori replied to the aunt who was struggling to explain, "Actually, the uncle who was killed was one of the adopted sons of the Inubushi family. Family, use the cursed magic dog to kill the Inufushi family!"

"Inufushi's house?"

Gao Cheng, who was still checking the closet at the scene of the first crime, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look back at Hattori with a serious face. Inubushi's house, which he had only visited last week, came to mind.

"Cursed magic dog..." Takagi was terrified by the words, and quickly turned to the aunt and continued to ask, "Have you heard from the victim? For example, who did you make an appointment to meet..."

The aunt replied: "I heard that only young detectives will come from Osaka..."

"Wait," Mu Mu suddenly thought, "You said that the prisoner mentioned dealing with young detectives. If the prisoner also knows about this, it must be an acquaintance who committed the crime!"

"Yes, yes," the aunt still felt scared, "Maybe she was planning to go out with that prisoner, because when I found him in the closet, he was wearing a suit and tie!"

Eyes twitched and looked at the victim's body next to him: "You helped him take off his suit and put on this tracksuit later?"

Although the aunt was threatened by the prisoner, it caused some unnecessary troubles. At least the scene of the crime was destroyed. If Hattori hadn't come over, she might have been treated as a charcoal-burning suicide by the police in the jurisdiction.

The aunt said weakly: "The prisoner asked me to do this, saying that I would put the body on the bed and pretend to sleep, and wait for the young detective to come over..."

"That is to say, after you showed Hattori and the others the victim lying on the bed, you said to go shopping, but in fact, you sneaked into the bedroom, moved the body to the ground, sealed the windows and doors with tape, and put the extinguished charcoal stove , set up the brain that makes a loud noise, and hide in a blind corner behind the door..."

Mu Mu looked at the aunt sullenly and said: "But just because you bargained in the supermarket before the incident, it doesn't prove that you are not a criminal. You'd better remember."

The aunt bowed her head: "Hug, I'm sorry..."

Gao Cheng has been standing by the closet, and there are traces of adhesive tape on the closet door, coupled with Hattori and Conan's first judgment, the aunt's argument makes sense.

The most important thing is that this murder case involved the Inufushi family.

Subsequent investigations by the police did not yield much, but when the body was moved, a small pearl fell out of the victim's mouth. It is said that it was originally on the tie clip. It is not clear whether it is a death message.

After the investigation, Gao Cheng went to Hattori alone.

"Of course it's the Inubushi family of the Inubushi Group," Hattori Heiji said inexplicably, "The wife of the president inherited a huge inheritance from the rich man Inubush, and two incidents have happened since she fell ill. Today is the third case... Do you have any relationship with the Inufushi family?"

"And then? What happened to the first two incidents?" Gao Cheng didn't answer, but continued to ask.

There was no sign when I went there before, which means that the incident happened after he left, so he couldn't help but not care...

"What else can I do?" Hattori said helplessly, "The president's wife has taken in eight adopted children, and of course her inheritance will be distributed to these adopted children after her death. Two people died strangely a few days ago. This Uncle Kudo is Because of this, I voluntarily gave up the right of inheritance, but I didn't expect to be killed..."

Speaking of Hattori, he thought deeply again: "That's the problem. If you are trying to reduce the number of heirs in order to increase the amount of inheritance you can get, it should have nothing to do with Kudo Shinichi...so the curse that Mr. Shinichi said also has something to do with it." Somewhat reasonable, maybe someone really wants to take revenge on these illegitimate children of President Inuboshi, or some of them feel resentful because they have been abandoned for many years..."

"Who was the person who was killed before Mr. Shinichi?" Gao Cheng thought of the adopted sons of the Inufushi family that he had come into contact with, Yukihime Inufushi, Koko Inufushi, and the doctor Chiaki Inufushi.

"There is also an old lady named Inu Fumizako who drowned in the swamp, it seems that the grass around the swamp with no sparks is burning..."

Hattori took out his mobile phone and looked through it: "But the earliest one was an uncle named Yingji who fell off the cliff after being attacked by a magic dog covered in fire. Just last week...it was all related to fire."

Gao Cheng frowned.

Just after he left Inufushi's house last week...

"What happened to the magic dog?"

"Because the uncle left a sentence when he was dying after falling off the cliff, saying that the one who pushed him down was like a monster transformed, with raging flames wrapped around his body, and he looked like a dog after he grew bigger. The same monster! It is said that the uncle was chased by a bicycle for a full kilometer!"

"monster……"

Gao Cheng's eyes flickered.

There is no doubt that it is artificial, but how did the other party do it?
……

Still in Gunma County, Gao Cheng drove Hattori and his party to the village at the foot of Mount Inubushi. When they saw the Inubushi Castle standing halfway up the mountain, they felt a little dazed.

I didn't expect to come here again because of the murder...

"what happened?"

Hattori looked at Gao Cheng strangely. He has been curious since just now. Gao Cheng, who has always been a road idiot, didn't even need to ask for the road.

"I said Kido, you must have been here before, right?"

"Come here once last week for work."

Gao Cheng didn't go into details about the old man Seto, but silently looked at Inubushi Castle in the mountains, and drove into the mountain road.

The Inubu couple had no children themselves, which is probably why Mrs. Suochen left behind eight adopted children, but inheritance was a problem after all, and it exploded after Mrs. Suochen fell ill.

As for the so-called revenge against the Inubushi family, Gao Cheng is skeptical, because for the criminals, it would be too suspicious if they only let go of Kudo Shinichi who left the Inubushi family. .

"Wang Wang!"

"Xiaoba, you can't run outside!"

Inu Fushi's yard, Inufushi Yukihime was chasing the running Akita Inu, and happened to bump into Gaocheng and his party who came to the door.

"Detective Kido?"

Yukihime Inufushi hugged the barking Akita Inu and looked at Gaocheng in surprise.

This time Gao Cheng came with two cute high school girls, a black... oh no, a dark-skinned high school boy, and an elementary school student wearing glasses.

"Mother Suochen is still asleep..."

"We didn't come here to find Madam," Gao Cheng said with a wry smile, "Actually, it's about several murders that happened at Inufushi's house, we want to investigate."

"Murder, but the police came to investigate and said it was an accident..."

"The police from Gunma Prefecture?"

Gao Cheng thought of the sharp-tongued Yamamura Cao, shook his head and said, "Actually, something that cannot be considered an accident happened. Mr. Shinichi was killed at his home in Tokyo yesterday, and he mentioned curses and the like..."
