Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 897 Snow Shadow Village Murder Incident 3
At Xueying Wharf, Gao Cheng and the others met the same policeman who came to investigate. The old criminal policeman questioned several fishermen and confirmed that the student called Yuzhu left the pier on a motorcycle at 5:50.

"Well," the old criminal police thought, "then Yuzhu is very suspicious, only today he came to the pier on a motorcycle, and finally appeared on the campus at 6:20, there was a full 30 minutes of blank space ..."

Under the arrangement of the old criminal policeman, a traffic policeman rode a motorcycle and followed the shortest path on the map to Xueying Junior High School for verification.

The old criminal policeman always had dull eyes and looked quite indifferent, but his face moved slightly when he saw Gao Cheng.

Although he is just a little devil, he is indeed different from ordinary children. After all, he is from the Metropolitan Police Department. He has already inquired about it, and it seems that he is a new generation of famous detectives in Japan, and he is very famous in Kanto.

But this is not Kanto after all...

"It seems that the fish is right," the old criminal policeman said to Gao Cheng, "It will definitely take less than 30 minutes from here to Xueying Junior High..."

"There should be no problem with Yuzhu, if he really leaves at 5:50," Gao Cheng said, looking in the direction of Xueying Junior High School, "According to what I said, you need to arrive at the scene before the snow accumulates, but the snow is accurate. The time is 5:58. From here to the scene, even if you ride a motorcycle, it will take at least 20 minutes...

"That is to say, even if Yuzhu really arrived at the school 10 minutes earlier than the others and arrived at the school at 6:10, it was already too late, because at that time it was difficult to enter the campus without leaving footprints, and it was impossible to commit crimes."

"This……"

The old detective looked ugly.

"Is it still suicide?"

"Isn't there still a lot of people who haven't investigated?" Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "Anyone who knows that the weather changes during the Cherry Snow Festival in this village may be the murderer. After all, a few students will go to Sakura Snow Junior High School this morning. Something extremely confidential."

"hateful."

The old criminal policeman cursed and arranged manpower to expand the investigation, leaving Gao Cheng with a pensive look on his face.

The case that happened in this rural village seems to be more troublesome than he expected, and there must be some inside story that outsiders don't know...

"Then what should we do now?" Xiaozhu asked Gao Cheng expectantly.

"What else can I do?" Xiao Du, who was addicted to mystery novels, said nervously, "There are three upward arrows that were stolen, maybe the murderer's next target will be me!"

"what?"

"Isn't it? Apart from Haruna and Fuyumi, the remaining two girls are me and Ayaka," the girl clenched her fingers as if to swear in battle, "I won't die in vain! I will definitely bite the murderer when the time comes A certain part of the body, use the strength to tear him apart, leaving the teeth marks of 'this guy is the murderer'!"

"Please, have you read too many mystery novels? No one said that the target of the prisoner is a girl, and..."

Xiaozhu looked at Gao Cheng who was still thinking ahead.

"If he's here, it should be fine, right?"

"What are you talking about, Xiaosuke!" The girl knocked Xiaosuke on the head hard, and said angrily, "We should be the ones protecting Kido-kun when such a bad thing happens! It's us!"

"I see!" Xiaozhu patted his head aggrievedly.

Dongmei's house, after Gao Cheng left the pier, he met Dongmei's mother under the guidance of Xiaosuke.

"I don't know either," the woman said haggardly, "Toumi likes maiden costumes very much, and she is still looking forward to the celebration. She said she met a friend from Tokyo, and she plans to go to Tokyo during Golden Week, but..."

"only?"

"Didn't Haruna die before? I heard that she committed suicide. Since then, she has been a little strange. Although she is still the same as usual in front of us, she seems very lost when she is alone..."

The woman said sadly.

"I was a little worried, so I secretly eavesdropped outside her room door, and saw her crying on the table, saying that it was all her fault... If I could ask her at that time, maybe..."

When a few people left Dongmei's house to say goodbye, Xiaodu also felt a little depressed.

"That kind of Fuyumi can cry... Sure enough, it has something to do with Haruna. If it's revenge, although Haruna doesn't like to show off, she is still very popular among boys..."

While talking, Xiao Du frowned and said, "Speaking of which, there is also Haruna's father. Her parents divorced before Chunna was born. It is said that she doesn't even know what her father looks like, but I have seen it before, probably Half a year ago, Haruna seemed to have met her father, and he was a man with scars on his face!"

"Is that so?" Gao Cheng paused slightly, "Then, take me to Chuncai's house next."

Chunca's house is not far from Aunt Jimmy's hotel. Gao Cheng met Chunca's mother under the introduction of Xiaosuke, a single mother who still looks not very good.

After incenseping Chuncai, Gao Cheng managed to get the suicide note.

The suicide note was wrapped in an envelope, and it seemed that it was originally intended to be mailed.

"Misaki... Mr. Tatsuya Imai?"

"It's my ex-husband, Haruna's father..." the woman explained.

The woman seemed reluctant to say too many things in front of a group of children, her expression was silent.

Gao Cheng took out the suicide note in the envelope, and he could indeed see some tear stains.

"It was supposed to be a happy color, but it has become an unforgivable color. I can't do it anymore. I have to die..."

The content of the suicide note is completely confusing, and it looks like a code.

Gao Cheng read it again, looked up at the sad woman and said, "Maybe it's a bit impolite, but I still want to ask once, hasn't this suicide note been sent, auntie?"

"That's right," the woman said with a dark complexion, "Chunca and her father sometimes correspond by letter, but they seem to keep it from me...

This time, I probably wanted to send it in the past, probably because of my mother's negligence, that's why she wanted to write a suicide note to her father who doesn't live with her, not my mother..."

The woman gradually couldn't control her emotions, her eyes turned red, she quickly covered her mouth and nose, got up and left with a choked up sob.

"I'm going to get some snacks..."

"It's really not easy for Chuncai's mother to bring up Chuncai alone." Xiaodu sighed.

"Sorry," Gao Cheng said in a deep voice as he watched the woman run out of the living room, "But in this way, Haruna's suicide is worthy of further investigation."

What is the reason why he chose to leave a suicide note to his father instead of the mother who raised him...

Judging from the content of the suicide note, the tone was also a little cold, as if he was angry.

Reasons related to suicide...

Since it was originally intended to be sent, it meant that Haruna's father should be able to understand the meaning of "color" in the letter.

Gao Cheng put down the suicide note, and glanced at the registration book of guests attending the funeral beside the incense case.

"The question is whether Haruna's father knows the news of his daughter's death and the cause of death..."

Just at this time, Chuncai's mother returned to the living room with some snacks, and Gao Cheng quickly asked, "Auntie, can I leave a name in the registration book?"

"Ah, yes, yes," the woman was stunned for a moment, then put down the plate and said, "The specialty of the neighboring town at this time, if you don't mind it, try it..."

Gao Cheng opened the registration book, glanced quickly, and found a name "Imai Tatsuya" in the middle, Imai Tatsuya from Misaki Town, and the recipient on the envelope.

"Auntie," Gao Cheng turned around and asked, "Did Chuncai's father come to the funeral?"

The woman was slightly distracted, and responded with a smile: "No, he is often not at home, and I can't contact him."

"Is that so?" Gao Cheng frowned and picked up the registration book, "But it still has his name on it, and his address is also in the neighboring town of Misaki."

The woman looked at the registration book in silence for a while, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Kido is like a policeman, but this person is not my ex-husband, but another Mr. Imai."

"Eh?"

"I work part-time at the Daimaru cafeteria in Misaki Town," the woman looked at Gao Cheng's dazed look, and seemed to be in a better mood, explaining, "Mr. Imai is a frequent customer of our restaurant and lived near my house before, so this This is the first time I’ve come to attend Haruna’s funeral, and there are many people with the surname Imai in this place.”

"Then," Gao Cheng continued to ask, "Did Haruna's father know about this?"

"Who knows?" The woman lowered her head, "I couldn't contact Haruna before his accident."

Gao Cheng wasn't sure if the woman was lying, but he didn't want to ask any further, so he left the gift money silently and signed his name on the registration book.

"Kyoto Takasei?" Xiao Du took a glance, "So this is the name of Kido-kun? I seem to have heard it somewhere... Are there many people with this name?"

"Uh……"
