Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 898 Snow Shadow Village Murder Incident 4
Gao Cheng took his leave in deep thought and left Chunmei's house.

It is not impossible for people with the same name to live in the neighboring town of Misaki. After all, due to the new large wharf, Misaki is becoming more and more prosperous, and even Xueying Village has been greatly affected. People are running there. There are many people with the surname Imai on this side, and there is a high chance of having the same name.

In any case, there is no way to find the other party now, and it is difficult to confirm.

"Well, Kido-kun," Xiaosuke asked, "There are still two upward arrows left. Will the murderer really commit crimes?"

"It's possible," Gao Cheng gathered his thoughts and said, "Okay, take me to Linghua's house to have a look."

Hasunuma Ayaka, that is, the short-haired girl who was following Fuyumi, when Gao Cheng went to Hasunuma's house, he heard that the short-haired girl had gone to Yukage Junior High School again, and it seemed that she was cleaning the tennis club activity room of the junior high school.

"There is no tennis club in high school, and Ayaka does often go to junior high school to play," Xiaodu remembered, "Even if the junior high school tennis club was disbanded half a year ago, she would often go there to clean it, saying that as long as there are enough members, the tennis club will be able to start again sooner or later. .”

"So, Ayaka's dream is to participate in Wimbledon."

"Wimbledon?"

Gao Cheng thought of the abnormality of the short-haired girl before, turned to Xiaodu and the two and said, "You guys go back first, I'll go to Xueying Junior High School to have a look."

Xiao Du looked at Gao Cheng worriedly: "But..."

"Don't worry," Gao Cheng ordered, "Just don't go out alone after you get back, leave the rest to me, and I'll contact you if there is any situation."

Xuekage Junior High School was not too far from Hasunuma's house, and Gao Cheng walked outside the campus for a while by himself.

There were still police officers on duty at the scene, and the teaching building was still open, but it took Gao Cheng a little time to find the activity room of the tennis club.

"Kirodo-kun?" Linghua was taken aback when she saw Gao Cheng, "Why did you come here?"

"I heard from your family that you are here, so I came here because I was a little worried," Gao Cheng looked into the activity room, and asked Ayaka, "What do you know about Fuyumi's murder, right?"

"No, it's nothing," Linghua said nervously, "Why do you ask that?"

"The prisoner stole three upward arrows, so maybe someone else will be killed," Gao Cheng said bluntly, "If you want to stop the prisoner, you must at least find out the motive. I wonder what the suicides of Dongmei and Haruna can do." I will be retaliated against because of this, so I can only come to you."

"But I... I don't know..."

Linghua clasped her hands tightly, lowered her head and still refused to say more.

"I'm sorry, it's because of our relationship that I got you involved in this kind of thing, but if there is really any revenge, Kido-kun will be fine, so..."

"I heard that your dream is Wimbledon?" Gao Cheng picked up a tennis racket and looked at it.

"Ah, yes, I'm a bit self-righteous..."

"Nothing, Wimbledon is a great dream."

"Really? I need to work harder," Linghua wiped her tears happily and said, "It's getting late, let's go back first, the light bulb in this activity room is broken."

Gao Cheng watched silently as Linghua, who couldn't tell whether she was laughing or crying, walked out of the activity room.

No matter what reason the prisoner has, he must stop it as soon as possible.

It's just that it's not so easy to ask for all the information, and his police background still causes some fear...

What is certain is that Hasunuma Ayaka must know something, and Fuyumi's death is also related to the suicide of the first girl.

Gao Cheng followed and walked out of the activity room.

The most suitable direction for him to start now is to unravel the meaning of the weird suicide note. The girl's suicide was originally nothing, and the suicide note should be the real cause of the fire of revenge.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Gao Cheng closed his eyes slightly, and reviewed the whole case in his mind.

The number of people who know the content of the suicide note is limited. Judging from Chunmei's mother's situation, Chunmei's father should have never read it. If the other party's suspicion is temporarily ruled out, the rest is...

Images of Harumi's mother, Xiaosuke and the others flashed through Gao Cheng's mind one by one, including Ayaka Hasunuma who seemed unlikely to commit the crime.

Judging from the murderer's layout, first of all, it made the scene look like a suicide, but the method of killing Fuyumi was very problematic. The fatal injury was on the back of the neck, which could easily arouse the suspicion of the police anyway.

Moreover, the theft of Dongmei's shoes is easy to find out...

Thinking about the result of this method carefully, the police will turn to the mysterious Chunmei's father after a full investigation. The students who are witnesses are all cleared of suspicion because they have alibi.

If the purpose of the criminal from the beginning was not just to fake suicide, or to prove his absence from the beginning to the end, so as to facilitate the next crime...

Is this possible?

Gao Cheng looked serious.

The murderer's methods are very limited. In addition to the punctual snow conditions during the Snow Shadow Festival in Xueying Village, the time when the students arrive at the Snow Snow Junior High School is also critical. What if it is earlier?
Excluding the interference of the alibi, and considering the criminal behavior alone, it is very likely that the murderer was among those students at that time, so there is a "slow" past.

"Kirodo-kun?" Hasunuma Ayaka looked suspiciously at Gao Cheng who had stopped, "Hurry back, it's going to be dark!"

"Wait a moment."

Gao Cheng turned his head and scanned the campus at the scene of the crime.

Thinking about it again, the footprints on the snow may not necessarily be stepped on by the murderer himself, and there may not be other ways to leave footprints.

The snow itself has not been accumulated for a long time, and the black footprints left behind, if it is not the footprints stepped on, but some other method of melting snow...

For example, salt was used to sprinkle footprints on the site in advance. When it snowed, only the place where the salt was sprinkled exposed the dark ground, just like the footprints left by someone walking by.

When the police came to investigate carefully, the footprints and salt would be washed away by the rain.

If this is the case, everyone's alibi will be wiped out...

In Xiaodu's house, the girl who came back with Xiaosuke was writing and drawing on paper, but she still had no clue, and she was a little frustrated.

Reasoning does not seem to be so easy...

"Hey, Xiaosuke," the girl looked at Xiaosuke, who was staring outside in a daze, "do you have any clues?"

"No," Xiaosuke shook his head, "How about we ask Mr. Kido?"

"Why?" the girl wondered, "I'm very sorry to get her involved in this kind of thing... No, it might be dangerous for Kido-kun to investigate alone! Isn't there such a situation, because it affects the prisoner's plan And was killed!"

Xiaozhu weakly looked at the girl who got up suddenly and said, "That's why they say you read too many novels..."
