Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

There was a commotion in the streets of the shopping city in the crowded business district. Several police cars were parked downstairs. The clothing store on the fourth floor was also surrounded by a blockade. Many customers stopped outside to watch.

Seeing the police's close investigation, someone asked curiously, "What happened?"

"I don't know, it seems that someone was killed."

"Eh? No way?!"

"Really, there were people screaming before, and many people ran out..."

Yuanzi and Xiaolan stood in the crowd, their faces puffed up slightly as they glanced at the scene from the corner of their eyes.

Really, why did you encounter a case halfway through?

If I had known earlier, I would not have brought Conan, that little devil, over here...

In the fitting room inside the clothing store, the domineering short-haired female president collapsed in the middle of the fitting room, her pupils were dilated, a rope was wrapped around her neck, and there was a deep strangle mark on her neck, and Yoshikawa, who was caught by her fingers when struggling line scars.

Just like the devil's prophecy, the short-haired female president was reaped by the god of death...

"The victim refers to Ms. Ritsuko Hara, 41 years old, the president of a cosmetics company. The cause of death was suffocation caused by compression of the neck.

According to the coroner, the murderer strangled the victim by putting a rope around the victim's neck, which in turn was placed on the victim's back. "

Gao Cheng and Conan listened to Gao Mu's explanation of the case, with weird expressions.

Although it was a murder case, there didn't seem to be much fluctuation in his heart.

It's just that something happened by accident...

The most common relationships in Japanese homicide cases are subordinates, colleagues, husbands and wives, friends... Basically, they all happen between acquaintances. After all, there are not so many opportunities for conflicts between strangers.

But it doesn't mean that conflicts between acquaintances will definitely kill people. There are many people who have resentment against their bosses. Maybe even Takagi has resentment against Meguro. Choosing to kill people is too extreme.

The police will conduct a social relationship investigation as soon as possible, and unless it is an exchange of killing, they will find you immediately.

"Who was the first to discover the corpse?" Mu Mu asked after seeing the corpse.

"I,

It's me," the female clerk with freckles was a little nervous, "I'm the clerk in this store, Nannan Lingya, and Miss Yuan asked me to look at a few sets of clothes, but she didn't come out for a long time after entering the fitting room , I called her a few times and there was no response, so I opened the curtain and took a look..."

"Well," Mu Mu looked at the two fitting rooms on the left and right of the crime scene and asked, "Is anyone in the fitting room next to her at that time?"

The short-haired female president's follower took the initiative to say: "I use the one on the left. I mean the former president's subordinate, called Hachijuan. The president often asks me to accompany her when she comes to buy things."

The fat aunt also snorted: "Anyway, I will be asked, so I will say it first. I am the one in the fitting room on the right."

"You are?"

"My name is Futaka Asashi, and I have nothing to do with the woman who was killed. I'm just an ordinary guest."

The fat aunt faced her eyes with a look of unhappiness.

"And the fitting room on the right seems to have been used before I entered..."

"Like? Didn't you see that person?" Mu Mu asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, I only saw a pair of white sandals placed at the door of the fitting room..."

"I saw that pair of sandals too!"

Immediately following the words of the fat aunt, the female servant and the female shop assistant hurriedly spoke to testify.

"And I!"

Takagi looked cautious. There was another suspect present: "How many customers were there in the store at that time?"

"There should be four or five of them," said the female clerk. "After hearing that someone was killed, everyone didn't want to have anything to do with it, so they all went back..."

The other suspects who suddenly appeared did not attract Gao Cheng's attention. He had an intuition that the murder of this annoying female president was probably among these few people.

The most suspected one is the female follower named Bajuan.

The reason is very simple, the female follower is the most sure about the female president's itinerary, and the female follower is also the most motivated.

No matter whether it is the female shop assistant or the fat aunt, it is just a verbal dispute with the female president, and I haven't seen it a few times, but the female follower is different, and it seems that there is a lot of resentment.

Then there is the death message that the female president tried her best to leave before she died...

That's right, the female president left a mysterious message with her hand gestures.

The thumb and index finger of the left hand were raised, and the right hand was clenched into a fist as if to hide the lipstick-smeared thumb.

There are clear nail marks on the palms of both hands, so it cannot be forged by the murderer, it must be the evidence left by the female president when she was about to lose consciousness.

Among them, the left hand was still hidden in the right bosom at the beginning, as if pointing to the fitting room where the eight volumes were located.

Of course, this is not referring to the murderer. After all, the murderer will definitely change the direction of the corpse if he sees it. The biggest possibility is the representative number, because there are numbers in the names of the female servant Bajuan and the fat aunt Erzuka.

Gao Cheng subconsciously thought of the number "8". Huaxia's eight used this gesture, and there happened to be five stars on the thumbnail of his right hand, plus the intentional lipstick, which seemed to refer to the five-star red flag.

Only Huaxia can make gestures for numbers within 10 with one hand.

But these could be speculations. It is difficult to use death messages as evidence, let alone gestures.

"Has this female president ever been to China?" Gao Cheng turned around and asked.

"Ahhh," Ba Juan, who was questioned by Gao Cheng, was stunned for a moment, and replied, "In order to expand the market, the president flies around the world every week... What's wrong?"

"fine."

Gao Cheng smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

The reason why he is not good at deciphering codes is mainly because codes are a bit floating and highly subjective. If they are not systematic codes, sometimes they will be very imprecise.

However, if there is proof, it would not be difficult to unlock the code, and now he is sure that the death message of the female president refers to the eight volumes.

The question is how to do it. According to the situation at the scene, the female president did not make any noise.

"Yeah," Mu Mu also said very strangely, "Generally speaking, if someone breaks in when trying on clothes, they should yell loudly, at least there will always be some noise when the rope is wrapped around the neck... ...Brother Kido, what do you think?"

Gao Cheng shook his head: "The police department, let's understand the situation at that time first, maybe we can know the truth after recreating the incident."

"That's right," Mu Mu heard the words and turned to Fat Aunt and the others, "you should go to another room for a separate investigation."

The freckled shop assistant was the first to be questioned, because she was the only one receiving the female president, and Gao Cheng also followed into the waiting room temporarily used for interrogation.

After confirming who the murderer is, the direction of the follow-up investigation is quite clear. At least on the face of it, Gao Cheng is much more relaxed than Conan and Sera Masumi who are investigating together.

His reasoning ability has surpassed that of Conan, even if he has entered Yusaku Kudo's level, basically this kind of small case will not have any problems.

What Conan lacks is in the reasoning method. Most of the genius detectives in this world are basically like this. The comprehensive reasoning method of observation method and deductive method is very rare, so it will appear quite Being passive, it is easy to get caught up in the case and be blinded.

But Gao Cheng is different. Because of his limited talent at the beginning, he attaches great importance to methods. He can go deep into the case and jump out of the case. He has mastered the application of deductive method and knows how to deal with difficulties.

Instead of being like Conan, who often needs a certain sentence or a certain thing to be reminded, and then a sudden flash of inspiration.

The more complicated the case, the more obvious the difference. Even in this small case, he has determined from all angles that the servant girl Bajuan is the murderer.

The final decisive factor is the conditions of the crime. As long as the criminal uses the tricks, the arrangement must be made, and the arrangement this time is the order in which several people enter the fitting room.

"Miss Hachijuan was the first to go in," said the female clerk, "because she said she forgot where the fitting room is, so I took her to the fitting room."

"Did you have a pair of white sandals back then?" Mu Mu asked.

"Yes, it's already at the door of the first fitting room on the right," the saleswoman nodded, "Then it refers to Ms. Yuan, who entered the empty fitting room in the middle...Ms. Erzuka finally, Because the fitting room has not been vacated for a long time, and after a while, I found that the person had left before I went in."

Gao Cheng looked thoughtful.

Eight volumes chose the fitting room on the far left, and the fitting room on the right was always full of people, so the female president pointed out that Yuan could only choose the fitting room in the middle...

The pair of white sandals were too weird, it seemed that they were just for the purpose of letting the female president enter the fitting room in the middle, and they disappeared in a weird way in the end, no one saw the owner of the white sandals from the beginning to the end.

In fact, it was just a pair of sandals outside the fitting room.

If I guessed correctly, the crime should have occurred during this period. At that time, there were actually only Bajuan and the female president in the three fitting rooms.

Since the female clerk found the body by accident, it means that Juan Ba ​​didn't have much time to deal with the evidence, so it's not too much trouble to investigate...
