Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 950
In the independent warehouse, Gao Cheng stopped the proprietress and prepared to investigate the Kamaitachi incident carefully.

Next to him, Dahe Ganzhu and Zhu Fu Gaoming had already inspected the scene in depth, and found many clues easily.

These two buddies police officers are one of the few detective masters in the world of Conan. They have directly raised the level of solving crimes in Nagano Prefecture. It can be said that they are quite important roles.

Intervening in a case like Kamaitachi's is a bit overkill to be honest, but no matter how insignificant a case is, it is a case, and no one knows what kind of sadness lies behind it.

Gao Cheng glanced at the proprietress standing quietly at the door, the snowflakes seemed to reflect the pain in the proprietress' heart.

She used to be the only daughter of a hotel, but now she lives like a maid. She has no support and is bullied by her father-in-law.

If a homicide really happened, he wouldn't be surprised if the proprietress killed the old man, even though the proprietress seemed so gentle now that she wouldn't do such a thing as killing the father-in-law.

"Boss lady," Gao Cheng asked, "are you familiar with the two reporters who came here today?"

"Ah?" The proprietress who was thinking about something came back to her senses and responded, "Mr. Zhong An is my junior high school classmate and a frequent visitor here, and Ms. Xiao Liu comes here occasionally, so I am familiar with it... Speaking of which, I feel like they The two are a bit different from before, Mr. Darkness didn't have a beard before, and Miss Xiaoliu didn't wear glasses."

Gao Cheng thought about the photo of Kamaitachi.

"The day Kang Ping saw Kama Itachi a year ago, were the two of them there?"

"Well, that day I had to take Kang Ping to the hospital and contact the police again. I was so busy that I didn't even have time to clean the open-air hot spring, and it was the day when the first thief appeared in the warehouse. I also specifically told Mr. Zhong An..." The proprietress replied.

"is it?"

Gao Cheng had a clue in his heart.

A year ago, Kamaitachi appeared, and then this photo of Kamaitachi, all happened in the open-air hot spring, if it is not a way for the hotel to attract business, or someone is conducting some kind of experiment.

Using the legend of Kamaitachi to kill...

Sure enough, it was right, this time it was a murder that was still in progress!
The snow fell more and more heavily, and a thick layer was piled up on the ground of the hotel. Gao Cheng braved the wind and snow and entered the main house. The injured people had been bandaged up with the help of Xiaolan and Ye.

As a well-known detective assistant with a lot of experience, Xiao Ai fully demonstrated her nursing ability and took out her personal medical kit.

profession.

"I heard that Kamaitachi is more likely to appear in snowy days!" The news of Kamaitachi gradually spread in the hotel, the fear overwhelmed the curiosity, and no one ran outside, and there was no one in the open-air hot spring. .

Uncle Maori, who has always liked to soak in hot springs, will be full of thoughts.

"There's no blood on that scythe, what the hell hurt us? It's like a monster..."

"Obviously not a monster."

Gao Cheng interrupted the uncle.

He checked the scene carefully afterwards and found chewing gum in the broken light bulb fragments. Besides, the more obvious traces were the soot left by Uncle Maori's smoking at that time.

"The attack happened when the lightbulb burst, and it did look like some weapon cut through the lightbulb and then cut you, but in fact it was nothing more than man-made."

"Human?" Uncle Mao Li yelled, "At that time, everyone gathered around to look at the sickle. It seemed that there was nothing standing next to the light bulb, and Xiaolan and the others were right at the door. Couldn't they see someone smashing the light bulb?"

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Of course the prisoner didn't just break it stupidly, but used some tricks. There were two chandeliers in that warehouse, but only one of the lights that passed by today was able to light up. I just saw that the other light bulb was broken. People moved because there was no way to break two light bulbs on the spot at the same time..."

Although it is under the jurisdiction of the hotel in Gunma Prefecture, the uncle and the others did not call the police because Yamato was there to help. They were just eager to find out the attacking Kamaitachi.

Of course, after knowing that it was under the jurisdiction of Gunma County, even the uncle didn't want to call the police.

Every time I called the police, the guy from Yamamura rushed over...

Originally thought that it would be impossible to search and investigate and catch Kamaitachi, but Gao Cheng seemed to have discovered some important clues.

It's like this every time, Kido's investigation is particularly good.

Mori Kogoro sighed secretly, sat up straight and listened carefully to Gao Cheng's reasoning.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, he has really been taken care of by Gao Cheng many times so far.

The Wispagna Kingdom incident helped rescue Xiaolan from abroad, even the Yokohama Wonderland incident last time. Kido, who obviously has a boyish face, behaves nothing like a teenager. I also have to be convinced.

"Chewing gum," Gao Cheng suddenly threw out a clue, "If chewing gum gets on the old light bulb, there will be a temperature difference on the surface and it will easily break. After entering the warehouse, someone pretended to be hit on the head by the chandelier, right?"

Mori Kogoro looked solemn: "The one who has chewing gum and hit the chandelier... Isn't she the one?"

Everyone looked at the female reporter with glasses whose cheek was cut.

"How is it possible? Didn't she herself..."

"That's the problem," Gao Cheng quietly stared at the female reporter with glasses who was still frozen, "It's difficult to accurately cut people in the dark, the back of the hands, arms, cheeks...even it is difficult for me to be so precise, If it was a random attack in the dark, it would be strange to be injured in these parts, and the wounds would not be like this."

"what?"

"Then I knew the reason. Hattori's arm was injured because he was wearing a luminous watch, the back of the uncle's hand was injured because he was holding a cigarette butt, and the reporter's cheek was injured because the attacker was herself. This not only You can let yourself clear the suspicion, and you can use your own blood to hide the evidence..."

Gao Cheng continued to reason.

"Although I don't know what the motive is, but this simple trick can't be fooled by the detective. I think the murder weapon should be something like a blade hidden in your fake nails. You deliberately cut yourself, and then pressed the wound to let your fingers It's all bloody, right?"

Hattori's faces darkened.

They were kept in the dark...

"The thief who repeatedly entered the warehouse, and the weasel that appeared in the open-air hot spring," Gao Cheng continued without waiting for the female reporter to respond, "Let's just think that you are conducting some kind of experiment, Miss Koyanagi. The photo of Kama Itachi is actually to prevent guests from getting close to the open-air hot spring, so that I can implement a certain plan..."

"Hey, hey," the bearded man reporter couldn't help interjecting, "What are you talking about? Miss Xiaoliu..."

"The photo of the sickle weasel was sent to you by Ms. Koyanagi. The reason why I didn't publish it in the magazine I work is to avoid suspicion." Gao Cheng glanced at the bearded man from the corner of his eye. Let's go to the warehouse to look for antiques together, after all, the more valuable antiques here are scythes."

"So," the bearded boy said angrily, "what is the plan?"

"Murder plan."

"what?!"

Gao Cheng's decisive voice startled everyone.

They were just looking for the attacking Kamaitachi, so why did it involve killing people?

"That's right," Gao Cheng turned his gaze to the direction of the open-air hot spring, "I asked the proprietress, the opposite of the open-air hot spring is the single house where the old man lives, there are two ways to go there, through the hot spring, or detour through the back door. The purpose of the scythe running across the hot spring was the old man in the single house.

As for the attack just now, it was just to create an unnecessary existence of Kamaitachi, and everything was for the murder plan afterwards. "

"But," Mori Kogoro said confusedly, "Even so, how can we pass through that hot spring? If the hot spring water is not cleaned..."

"So it is said to run over. A large amount of pueraria powder is poured into the hot spring to form a state between liquid and solid. When running, the instantaneous pressure under the feet will make the hot spring water look like a solid state. In theory, you can run over.

This is also an experiment conducted by Ms. Koyanagi. A large amount of kudzu powder was stolen by thieves several times. After all, even if the open-air hot spring is not big, the amount of kudzu powder needed is quite a lot, so it is natural to be discovered. "

Gao Cheng finally said to the female reporter.

"Miss Koyanagi didn't wear glasses before, probably because she wore contact lenses. This time, she changed to this kind of glasses because it would be difficult to put on and remove contact lenses if she suddenly wore fake nails. In other words, you don't usually wear fake nails. Nails are right."

The female reporter opened her mouth, staring blankly at the blood-stained fake nails, and silently gave up her defense.

"But why," Gao Cheng asked after a pause, "I can understand if it's the lady boss. What motive do you have?"

"My mother who passed away," the female reporter lowered her head, "was the female foreman who was severely scolded and fired by him before. For this reason, other hotels were unwilling to hire her. In the end, in order to support me, my mother was forced to go to A restaurant was killed, but he contracted pneumonia and died two years later...

The reason is that the young master here proposed marriage to my mother, but the master thought that he could merge with the only daughter of another hotel to expand the hotel, because of this kind of thing. "

The female reporter said with tears in her eyes, unforgettable.

"If it wasn't for that incident, how could my mother have worked so hard and died so painfully!"

Yamato Gansuke crossed the snow on crutches, and saw the hotel proprietress' father-in-law hiding behind the aisle to eavesdrop. After being discovered, the old man walked away in a panic, looking desolate.

He lived so close to being killed that even his daughter-in-law didn't like him, the old man was a failure enough.

but……

Yamato Kansuke breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that he was overthinking this case of attempted murder.
