Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 1107: The Disappearing Woman

The morning fog dissipated, and the mountain village ushered in the first ray of sunshine amidst the sound of birdsong in the early morning.

Gao Cheng slept on the tatami mat in the Turtle Room of the hotel, and he still had a headache when he woke up.

I drank some wine last night, but I didn't expect the stamina to be quite strong, and I didn't even have a bright mind.

And that's just rum.

It's no wonder that uncle, that alcoholic, is usually messed up when reasoning.

"Well, I'll go back in Zhongtian. I stayed in a mountain village on the Nagano side for one night."

While washing up, Gao Cheng called Xiao Ai back, and also learned about Conan's situation by the way.

The black organization still did not take any further action, but Kudo Yusaku came back suddenly, speculating that the secret code left in Haneda Koji's case was not "Asaka is rum", but "Karasuma Renye".

The boss of the organization may be the millionaire half a century ago.

Then there was his first pot of gold, the twilight annex of the Karasuma family, and Conan specially reminded him after knowing about it.

He knew about this speculation when he was planning the Twilight Villa, and he wasn't too worried.

If Karasuma Renye is still alive, it is impossible not to care about the Twilight Annex, something must have happened.

Of course, Karasuma Renya is the boss, after all, it's just a guess.

The truly scary thing about the Black Organization lies in its infiltration of the Japanese government. The boss itself is not scary.

At least it was for him.

"A guest in the Crane Room?"

"Yes, yesterday we made an appointment to go back to Tokyo together today, but I didn't respond when I went to the Crane Room just now, so I wonder if I have something to go out." Gao Cheng asked the hotel owner, "That lady should have come to investigate yesterday. Are you the person in charge of the Tokyo Department Store?"

"This," the hotel owner hesitated, "I don't know too well, but the guest checked out early in the morning, so he probably returned to Tokyo early."

"check out?"

Gao Cheng stared at the boss for a while.

"Can you show me the register? I don't know her name yet..."

"It's difficult,

The boss wondered, "That guest didn't seem to be registered. I didn't see it until after checking out." "

"how come?"

Gao Cheng took the registration book and turned it to the end, but he did not see the registration of Crane House, and when he wanted to check it carefully, the boss snatched the registration book back.

"The guest hasn't had breakfast yet, right? The store provides free breakfast today," the boss asked, "Does the guest need anything?"

"Oh? Let's have one."

Gao Cheng thought about it and went back to the room.

In a quick check of the room just now, he noticed that there was a trace of a torn page at the end of the registration book. Someone seemed to be trying to conceal the information of the guests in the Crane Room.

"Slow use."

The boss left the room after putting down his breakfast? Leaving Gao Cheng to eat alone? It's just that Gao Cheng lost his appetite.

Silently walked to the window? You can still see the wine cellar not far from the entrance of the village below, and indeed you don't see the woman's car anymore. The villagers who got up early greeted each other and started their own work.

Did you really go back early?

The figure of the woman from last night appeared in Gao Cheng's mind.

Although he is more afraid of him? But the agreement last night didn't seem like a joke? The other party asked me to go back to Tokyo together, probably because there is something that needs the help of him, a detective.

Did it feel dangerous again later?

Judging from the woman's performance, what secret should she be hiding? Is it normal to be afraid of being exposed by detectives? But it always feels strange.

And the performance of the hotel owner just now...

Outside the Crane Room? Gao Cheng quietly found the door? He took out the wire and pried open the door.

Enter from the porch? The house is about the same size as his turtle-shaped house? Is the room very clean? There is no trace of people living in it.

But in Gao Cheng's view, it was even more strange.

No matter which hotel it is, there is no reason to clean up the room so early, let alone the rooms in this remote mountain village are not in short supply.

Close the door and walk into the inner room, everything is like the scene before he moved into the turtle-shaped room? There is not even a single hair on the tatami.

"Crack."

Gao Cheng walked to the old-fashioned phone? Noticed a corner of the card was vaguely pressed underneath? After looking through it, he found that it was the business card he gave the woman last night.

The person who cleaned the room cared too much about the ground? Instead, he ignored it, and the business card was only exposed a little, so that it was not noticed.

Why is his business card placed in such a place?

Gao Cheng continued to check with a bad face? Finally, he found the contact lens heater that had not been taken away in a dead-end socket.

Too bad that woman is in a bad situation.

Thinking of all the possibilities, Gao Cheng couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Judging from the hotel owner's cover-up, the woman may not have returned to Tokyo early at all, but something happened in this village.

...

"detective?"

In the village office, the emaciated old cadre looked at the hotel owner who came to inform him in surprise.

"That's right," the hotel owner said with sweat on his forehead. "It's not an ordinary detective. I checked just now. It's a famous detective in Tokyo, Takashiro Kido. I heard that there are no cases that can be difficult."

"No, it's nothing." The old cadre also changed his face, and forced himself to be calm, "The incident of last night has been notified, and even the detectives can't find anything. No one will admit that there is Kaoru Kusakabe... "

"But," the hotel owner stammered, "yesterday I accidentally slipped my mouth and said that the person in charge of the department store came to investigate."

It's really not his fault, who knew that such a big thing happened in one night.

The village did not dare to let people know that Kaoru Kusakabe had been here, and all traces were erased. The hotel lied and said that the guest had checked out because Gaocheng and Kaoru Kusakabe seemed to have had contact.

"However, he didn't know that woman was Kaoro Kusakabe. He only met once and made an appointment to go back to Tokyo together today."

"That's it."

The old cadre's brows were frowned into Sichuan characters, and his face was solemn.

"Don't panic, just say that you made a mistake. The bribery in the village must not be exposed. I will find a way to deal with the rest. Even if I am a detective, I will leave if I can't find anyone."

"That's right," the hotel owner felt relieved, "He's not a policeman, and this is not Tokyo, so even a detective is useless."

"You go back first."

The veteran cadre sent the hotel owner away with a wave of his hand, and continued to consider where there were loopholes.

In the wine cellar at the entrance of the village, Mr. Guan, the village head, drank with the old winemaker, with a sullen face in front of others, but he couldn't hide his thoughts in front of his old friends.

"It's all my responsibility," the village head sighed, "That woman..."

"Excuse me," Gao Cheng found the wine cellar from the outside, and asked at the door, "Is this the wine cellar?"

"What's the matter with you?" The village head put down his wine glass and looked at Gao Cheng, his brows twitching.

"Uh, I heard that the village chief may be here..."

"I am."

"Hello, hello," Gao Cheng said, walking closer, "Actually, it's because a woman disappeared after last night..."

"Didn't you leave the village?" The village chief's expression didn't fluctuate. "There's nothing interesting here, and many people just pass by for a night."

"It is indeed possible, but..."

Gao Cheng glanced over the brewing container and the wine cellar going in.

"I heard that the person in charge of a department store in Tokyo came here yesterday for inspection. It is the woman who lives in the prototype hotel..."

"You probably made a mistake," the village head turned back, unwilling to communicate, "No one came to investigate, so how could anyone be interested in this kind of rural wine?"

"Last night," Gao Cheng paused, and continued to ask, "The village chief's house was lit very late. Is there any party?"

"I was writing something last night, and there was no party," the village head said decisively, "The guests should have nothing to do with me, right?"
