Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 906 Three-Color Cat

Mihua is a high-end apartment building. Gao Cheng followed Xiao Ai and Ayumi and several children into the elevator to go to the cat owner's house.

"But why did Brother Kido come here?" Mitsuhiko asked in surprise, "Don't you dislike cats?"

"Could it be that you want to adopt the captain?"

"Impossible, even if that uncle doesn't raise him, he should sell the captain, after all, it's worth 2000 million yen..."

"Don't think too much," Gao Cheng said with black lines all over his face, "I just want to see how that cat is worth 2000 million."

"Mr. Mashiko's house is just ahead..."

After getting out of the elevator, Conan went to the front to lead the way, and suddenly found two people unlocking the door of the room.

"Mr. Mashiko!" A fat man opened the door which was still hung with an anti-theft buckle, and shouted through the crack, "I'm an administrator, are you okay?"

"What's wrong?" Gao Cheng ran forward and asked, "Is something wrong?"

The man dressed at home next to the administrator responded: "I heard a strange sound from the next door..."

"Meow!"

A three-color cat came out from the crack of the door, and saw everyone meowing and calling out, leaving a string of blood-red cat footprints on the ground.

The family man said in horror: "Blood... there is blood on the cat's feet!"

Gao Cheng picked up the cat and looked into the room, then shouted to Xiao Ai in a deep voice: "Hurry up and call an ambulance!"

The administrator said, "Call an ambulance if you don't know what's going on?"

"It's not a trivial matter to let the cat come out with bloody footprints and the owner of the room doesn't respond."

Gao Cheng handed the three-color cat to Ayumi, took out the fishing line and chewing gum from his arms, first tied the fishing line to the U-shaped buckle of the anti-theft buckle, and adjusted the knot to the top of the U-shaped buckle for The chewing gum is fixed, and then take out a piece of iron wire, bend it into a U shape, fix it next to the anti-theft buckle inside the door with chewing gum, and hook the fishing line.

After making preparations, Gao Cheng gently pulled the fishing line to close the door, and finally pulled hard, only to hear the sound of a zipper inside the door, and the anti-theft buckle was easily pulled open.

"The door is now open?"

The administrators at the side looked at Gao Cheng in a daze, and Conan, who witnessed Gao Cheng unlocking the lock, lowered his eyelids speechlessly, and asked in a low voice, "I mean Kido, why are you carrying these things?"

"Just...just in case."

Gao Cheng hurriedly opened the door and followed the cat's footprints on the floor to the inner room.

God knows why he brought the tools to pick the lock, and he never thought of using these tools to pick the lock before, but there is just a way to open this U-shaped bar lock in the thief's introduction.

The cat footprints in the room directly extended from the bedroom inside. Gao Cheng just walked through a corridor and found a fat man lying in the bedroom. His head was covered with blood and there was a pool of blood on the ground. Weak pulse, the time is not too late.

Seen from the scene...

There was an upside-down chair on the bed, the lampshade just above it was turned on, fragments of lamp tubes were scattered on the floor next to it, a new lamp tube was placed in the corner, blood was stained on the bedside table, it looked as if it accidentally fell when changing the lamp tube Hit the bedside table.

However, it was no surprise.

The fat man is wearing a slipper on one foot. There is no reason not to take off his shoes when he is standing on the bed to change the light tube. Moreover, the chair on the bed is placed directly on the soft and uneven quilt. If it is changing the light tube, the quilt should be removed to avoid shaking.

There are also fragments of lamp tubes on the ground. The problematic lamp tubes will have black hair on both sides, but there are no fragments on the scene...

These doubts all pointed in one direction, and the scene was just disguised as an accident.

The secret room murder...

What the heck.

Gao Cheng stood up and looked at Conan who was still inspecting the scene.

Can this also encounter a case?

Not long after the fat man was taken away by the ambulance, the police car also rushed to the downstairs of the apartment, and Gao Cheng checked the access control system in the room by the way.

Because it is a high-end apartment, access control is set up in the lobby on the first floor, and anyone who rings the doorbell will be recorded. There were three people within an hour of their previous visit, and each of them reported their name.

The murderer is likely to be among these three people.

Because the neighbors heard strange noises just during this time.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone did not ring the doorbell, but entered the apartment while other residents were out, as if he and a group of children, these little ghosts said they wanted to surprise the cat owner.

No matter what, the cat owner will be surprised to see him, a famous detective, come to visit...

More or less frightened.

Gao Cheng intervened to check the living room.

There are still wrapping paper and an old pet basket for cats on the coffee table. It seems that they intend to give the tricolor cat as a gift to someone. There are residual tape and folded marks on the wrapping paper, and there are several One place is damaged, it seems that it was opened after it was wrapped.

There are scissors and tape next to the wrapping paper, indicating that it was indeed packed on-site, but there is no colorful ribbon for gift wrapping in this room.

The key is to find out who was the last guest to enter the cat owner's home, or the last guest to leave.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the criminal should have murderous intentions temporarily, and the methods were conceived and arranged on the spot, which means that the three visitors are very suspicious.

The reason why it is said that the key is the last guest to leave is because these few people need someone to help open the door when they come in.

"Officer Sato!" Gao Mu brought the three suspects to the scene and said, "We have found the three people who were recorded by the access control system!"

"So fast?"

"Because the address book has contact information, but..."

Takagi looked distressed at the three people outside the entrance, a fat aunt, a freckled woman wearing glasses, and a bearded man also wearing glasses.

"Only the proprietress of the tavern who came first came in to enter the room, and the second Miss Aso just chatted at the door, and Mr. Urushiya who came last said that he rang the doorbell at the door, and went back without any response. "

"Well," Sato said while observing the others with his arms folded, "it's all suspicious, maybe the second person came before the first guest left, and after the second person leaves, the first person can also commit crimes... ..."

Gao Cheng also took a look at a few people from behind.

It is not a question of who is likely to commit the crime, but who has lied.

The third Mr. Urushiya who entered the apartment said that he rang the doorbell at the door and left after seeing no response...

Normal people should wonder if something happened, because they obviously let themselves into the apartment, there is no reason not to be at home or to ignore themselves.

"Mr. Urushiya," Gao Cheng asked the bearded man in glasses, "You were the last one to come here. Was it Mr. Mashiko who opened the door for you on the first floor?"

"I don't know about this," the bearded man with glasses frowned, "Because he didn't speak, I don't know if he drove it."

"Shiro, Kido!" Gao Mu hurriedly pulled Gao Cheng back, and said with a wry smile, "If you want to ask questions, why don't you ask them alone?"

"That's right," Gao Cheng smiled, "I'm just a little curious."

It is enough.

If it was a prisoner who opened the door to the paint room, he should have been in the living room at that time. How could he let him in when he was in a hurry to set up the secret room technique.

The bearded man was the culprit. The question is what kind of secret room technique was used.

The method that can be thought of and applied in a short time should not be too complicated...

Gao Cheng looked at the door lock again.

It takes two steps to set up a secret room, the door is locked inside and an anti-theft buckle is hung.

"Yeah," said the fat woman when she was questioned alone, "I did meet Mr. Mashiko today, and he entertained me in the living room for black tea and stayed for a song on the record, it should be About 10 minutes."

"record?"

"I'm collecting records of classical jazz. Mr. Mashiko said he found the record I was looking for, and when he asked me to pick it up, he played a song for me..."

Sato asked, "Did the doorbell ring while you were here?"

"This... I've been listening to music with my headphones on..."

"As I said just now, I stood at the entrance and talked to him a few words, but I didn't enter the room." The freckled woman who was the second to ask questions said cautiously, "Because I didn't make an appointment, and he It seems that there are still guests..."

The woman with freckles is a former employee of Mr. Mashiko's company. She was fired because she caused a lot of trouble. This time, she came to thank Mr. Mashiko for helping to introduce a new job.

As for the last bearded man, Mr. Mashiko and Mr. Mashiko were friends in college, and he was a writer who debuted in the same year. The latter changed careers early without grades. This time he came because he encountered a bottleneck. It was often discussed like this before.

At this time, Gao Cheng left for a trip and returned to the scene again, with a roll of gift packing ribbons in his hand.

"Kiroto?" Sato looked puzzled, "You are..."

"I wanted to verify the prisoner's secret room technique, so I bought something that disappeared from Mr. Mashiko's house," Gao Cheng explained, "The packaging in the living room is the old gift packaging that was used before. Mr. Mashiko should have taken it directly. To be used and then unpacked in the living room, the problem is that the ribbons for packing are nowhere to be found..."

"Could it be taken away by the prisoner?" Sato looked carefully at the three suspects.

"Probably didn't take it away," Gao Cheng cut off a long ribbon with scissors, "But the ribbon is indeed the key to the prisoner's secret room tactics.

Since just now, I have been wondering why the crime scene is in the bedroom when Mr. Mashiko entertains guests in the living room, and I soon thought of it. "

Gao Cheng looked into Ayumi's arms and saw the meowing three-color cat with ribbons.

"Probably when unpacking, the ribbon was taken into the bedroom by the cat. The cat likes this kind of brightly colored, thin and long thing like a rope. That bedroom should be the place where it hides treasures, Mashiko Mister had an accident when he was looking for a cat in the past."

"Is that so?" Conan's brain reacted the fastest, and he almost understood Gao Cheng's thoughts at once, but his eyelids dropped after he followed.

Since when did Kido understand cats so well?

"Just try it and you'll know."

Gao Cheng hung the ribbon in front of the three-color cat, and after shaking it twice, he successfully turned on the switch of the three-color cat, grabbed the ribbon with a meow, and ran into the bedroom.

"Behind the books on the bookshelf!" Takagi who caught up with the three-color cat was surprised to find the three-color cat's treasure house in the bookshelf. In addition to the ribbon just now, there is also a knotted ribbon.

"This is……"

"It's the prop used by the prisoner to lock the door," Gao Cheng followed into the bedroom and said, "As a sudden crime, the prisoner thought of this method because he saw the cat taking the ribbon and locked the door with the ribbon, but it's not Without loopholes, under these conditions, the fingerprints on the ribbons cannot be processed."

"The only thing left is to lock the door."

Xiao Ai looked at Gao Cheng, who was confident in reasoning, with a gleam in her eyes.

Find the result first and then deal with the method, more and more have your own method...
