Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 847 The Ghost Hotel
"So," the uncles and aunts were puzzled, "Why didn't you commit suicide? The shoes are neatly placed here..."

"It's just your preconceived ideas." Shiliang Zhenchun said with bright eyes, "I have seen several suicide scenes by jumping off the building so far, and there are basically no corpses without shoes...

"Placing your shoes neatly on the roof can remind you of suicide. This kind of thing is usually a plot made up in movies and TV. Is it so convincing?
"The reason why it is like this in film and television is that it is easier to mobilize the audience's emotions and fabricate dramatic plots. Although it is rare now, people who hanged themselves in previous reasoning TV dramas would bleed a trace of blood from the corner of their mouths. The truth is, it's just to let the audience understand that the person is dead at once, and the picture is more shocking, and..."

Sera Masumi walked to the roof and looked at the scene of the corpse in the parking lot downstairs, and continued: "That man seems to have drunk a lot, it's not strange that he would take off his coat and fold it, and then put his shoes on neatly in that situation Is it? The most important thing is that this place is directly above the body of the deceased, and it didn’t mess up when I jumped down..."

"So, it is very likely that the prisoner specially faked the scene in order to pretend to commit suicide by jumping off a building, right, Detective Kido?"

Sera Masumi folded her hands and looked back at Gao Cheng with a smile.

"Ahhh."

Gao Cheng nodded blankly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that most of the girl's attention is on Conan.

According to his understanding, the purpose of Sera Masumi coming to Japan should be for Conan.

Indeed, Conan himself is a high-profile guy. Once it comes to reasoning, he will completely ignore the possibility of identity leakage. The use of anesthesia needles is also very bold. At the beginning, he even planned to attack him.

However, because of his relationship, Conan's current exposure is actually greatly reduced, and he is not even too close to the FBI for safety reasons.

Does it even get attention?
Or is there something hidden that he doesn't know?Even he may not be completely clear about the main line of Conan, not to mention that many of his memories of the case are very vague.

Gao Chengshen thought for a while, but was quickly interrupted by Conan.

This guy didn't suspect that Shiliang Zhenchun, who suddenly appeared around him, was completely involved in the incident and asked the three uncles and aunts: "Excuse me, you all seem to know the victim, right?"

"Yes."

……

"That is to say, the one who was murdered was the son of the owner of the Kuwato Hotel, Shangzu Zhenwu, and he was the only one living in the annex..."

The police arrived at the scene very quickly, and the investigation was launched immediately, and the team was still led by the Megure Police Department.

"It seems to be to avoid the media, because he was once arrested as the mastermind of bank transfer fraud, and was released due to insufficient evidence, and now the gossip magazines are all around him..."

"He was caught by the media last week and caused quite a stir. Mr. Zhenwu beat the media and smashed the windows in the corridor on the 6th floor with a fire extinguisher..."

Takagi explained: "As a result, fewer and fewer guests are willing to live in the annex, and the hotel also feels that it can no longer allow him to live like this. It is said that they plan to let him move to a foreign country while the annex is being renovated."

"Yes," the uncles and aunts followed, "We victims also heard the news, so we came here to see him."

"Before he fled abroad, thought he should at least apologize to us or something..."

Mu Mu asked in a deep voice: "Then have you seen Mr. Zhenwu?"

"Yes, we went to his room first, and then he suddenly burst into tears, saying that he would apologize to us and let us give him some time to wait for him to sober up," the middle-aged sister-in-law explained, "In this case, we I planned to record his confession, and we planned to go to a nearby electrical store to buy recording equipment, and then we got into the car I parked in the parking lot..."

"Yes, when the car was reversing, Mr. Shangzhu fell right in front of our eyes..."

"Well," Mu Mu looked at the few people who had lingering fears, then turned to Xiaolan and Yuanzi next to him and asked, "Speaking of which, since you are here..."

"Kirodo and the others went to the annex to investigate, and they seem to have found something," Sonoko replied.

In the annex, Gao Cheng has learned a lot of information, and checked the 6th and 2nd floors one after another.

When there was a disturbance before Shangzhu Zhenwu, paint was sprayed everywhere in the annex, even the surveillance cameras in the elevators and corridors were not let go. The whole annex is like a black box, no matter what you do, no one will see it.

In addition, the security guard who has been watching below also said that no one else left.

It's almost like a ghost crime.

In fact, there are indeed rumors of ghosts here in the annex. In the past, someone saw an empty wheelchair wandering in the annex at night.

It is said that the ghost is Mrs. Hikawa's father among the uncles and aunts.

It was Mrs. Hikawa’s mother who was defrauded by bank remittance. The old lady was shocked and sent to the hospital. His father, who had terminal cancer and had few days to live, specially opened a room in the annex. Every day, he took an electric wheelchair borrowed from the hotel to live in Zhenwu At the door of the room, I asked, saying that I should at least apologize to the old lady.

After the old lady died in the hospital, Mrs. Hikawa's father also hanged himself in the room.

That room was on the 2nd floor, and it was also the floor where the wheelchairs were rumored to start wandering...

On the second floor of the annex, Gao Cheng found a moving electric wheelchair by the window at the end of the corridor opposite the elevator, because it could be seen from the elevator, it was quite eye-catching, and there was a suspicious fishing line stuck in front of the front wheel of the wheelchair .

According to the hotel, this is an electric wheelchair that Shangzhu Zhenwu borrowed. It is estimated that it was used to create ghost incidents to scare guests before Shangzhu Zhenwu.

Whether it is the 6th floor or the 2nd floor, the walls are very messy with paint graffiti, the corridors are also covered with a lot of tarpaulins, and there are also a lot of paint buckets, just like the decoration site is messy.

Gao Cheng pressed his eyebrows, and the structure diagram of the annex, floors, elevators and parking lot quickly flashed through his mind.

The 1st and 2nd floors of the hotel are used for wedding halls. The location is larger. It is more convenient to open the elevator door facing away from the parking lot, so a two-way elevator is set up. From the 3rd floor up, there are only corridors and corridors on the side of the parking lot. The room, of course, has a door on the opposite side.

The corridor on the 6th floor is completely opposite to the 2nd floor, but it leads directly to the parking lot, and the broken window at the end of the corridor is directly above the corpse...

It can be deduced that the 6th floor is actually the first crime scene, and the criminal must have used an electric wheelchair, and he has a rough understanding of the technique. All the clues in the thinking space of his mind have completely restored the crime scene once.

"That is to say, the criminal actually used the victim's method to commit this crime, so only one person can do it."

"Ah?" Shiliang Zhenchun, who just happened to think of the point, looked up at Gao Cheng.

In fact, she came to Japan this time because of Kudo Shinichi, especially after hearing about Conan, her understanding of Gao Cheng was limited to the famous detective who rose up after Kudo Shinichi disappeared, and she was similar to Kudo Shinichi.

Conan was present in almost most of the cases that Gao Cheng solved, which is really doubtful...

"Already know the prisoner?" Shiliang Zhenchun asked curiously.

"Yeah," Gao Cheng looked back at the elevator and said calmly, "Now let's do a practical test."
