Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Shiga Prefecture, Hikone City.

There are almost no high-rise buildings in this small city by Lake Biwa. It is not surprising that it is called a countryside, because it is not far from Kyoto, and many places have maintained their ancient appearance, and there are many historical buildings left over.

It looks like a relatively large town, but the streets are clean and refreshing, not noisy, plus the surrounding environment is beautiful, with a strong historical atmosphere, it is a very suitable place for tourism.

"I've said it all, I'm here to investigate the case, not to travel."

Gao Cheng looked helplessly at the garden beside him.

In the end, he decided to take a trip to Shiga Prefecture by himself, and leave the washing of the photos of the bridge to Kaga and Takagi, and he will deal with them after the photos are sorted out.

When it came to Qianju Hiromi's important clue, it was better for him to investigate it himself.

"I can help too," Sonoko snorted. "26 years ago, Asagi Hiromi was still in junior high school here. Besides Michiko Oshitani, there were quite a few of her junior high school classmates. I've already asked someone to find out. It should be possible. A lot of information has been collected."

"How do you know this?" Gao Cheng asked in surprise.

Information about the search has not been made public, and he has not told anyone else.

"The news has already been reported. It is said that the murdered Michiko Oshitani was a junior high school classmate of drama director Hiromi Asagi... Aren't you investigating Hiromi Asagi? Xiao Ai said that you have checked a lot of her information on the Internet."

"It's true..."

...

There are a few junior high school students in Qianju Hiromi who run a homestay store, and they happen to be in contact with a company under the Suzuki Foundation, so Gao Cheng took Yuanzi to ask these people directly.

"Asagi Hiromi in junior high school?"

"Uh, it's hard to talk to her, and only Xiaodao has a good relationship with her, and Xiaodao is Oshitani."

"At that time, everyone liked to bully her."

"Her mother ran away from home, and many gangsters often came to her store to collect debts, so everyone also..."

Decades later, the junior high school students who lived in Bomei could not remember very clearly, and finally revealed some clues under the guidance of Gao Cheng.

A man who is about the same age as Toshiichi Watabe is mentioned,

Mr. Miaocun, the homeroom teacher who was about 40 years old 26 years ago, is exactly 6 or 70 years old now.

It's just that this Miao Village teacher disappeared after showing up at a class reunion six years after the student graduated, and disappeared like a human being.

"Teacher Miaocun cares about Qianju very much. We are not allowed to bully Qianju when we are in school. After Qianju transfers to another school, we seem to be connected..."

"I found it!" The shop owner brought a photo album, "One is the graduation photo, and the other is the class reunion six years later."

Gao Cheng looked along and almost didn't recognize the same person in the two photos.

It has only been 6 years, but this Miaocun teacher seems to be terminally ill. His face is thin and old, his hair is gray, and his expression looks a little empty, which is in stark contrast to the smile in his graduation photo.

"Do you still remember the transfer from Qianju Bomei?" Gao Cheng asked again.

"I don't really remember, it seems that she disappeared without knowing it, and then the teacher told us that she transferred to another school... Maybe her father's death was a big blow."

In the afternoon, after dinner, Gao Cheng and Yuanzi went to the Hikone City Police Station again.

"Is there no clue?" Coming out of the police station, Yuanzi looked at Gao Cheng who had been silent for a long time and asked worriedly, "I feel that those people are not very reliable, are they going to lie?"

"It's not so much a lie, it's more a fantasy," Gao Cheng stopped in front of the police station and said, "Many things they said are ambiguous... I wonder if Qianju Bomei's father really committed suicide."

"what?"

"I asked them again where Qianju's father committed suicide, but apart from knowing that he committed suicide by jumping off a building, they didn't even know the exact location."

Gao Cheng reviewed it carefully in his mind.

26 years ago, Hikone City did not have any tall buildings suitable for suicide by jumping from a building. The only tall tower that met the requirements did not have the slightest impression on the people nearby, and the Hikone City Police Department did not have relevant records.

Moreover, Qianju Hiromi only said that his father committed suicide, not that he jumped off the building. Why was everyone convinced that he jumped off the building when he came to his junior high school classmates?

The reason is that the Miao village teacher told the students that "the shallow-living father committed suicide by jumping off a building nearby".

"Go to the Shiga Prefectural Police Headquarters."

"No," confirmed the Shiga Prefectural Police Headquarters, relevant personnel in the reference room, "There is no record of Asai Tadao jumping from a tower, but at the same time, he committed suicide by jumping off a cliff in Noto, Ishikawa Prefecture.

There is an investigation report on Tadao Asai's corpse in the jurisdiction of the Noto Bureau. I will get a copy for you. "

"Jumping off a cliff to commit suicide?"

Standing in the busy police station office, Gao Cheng seemed to be in another dimension, and his eyes were full of clues.

The key person 26 years ago was undoubtedly the teacher named Miaocun, who concealed the fact that Tadao Asai jumped off a cliff elsewhere, and lied that Hiromi Asai had transferred to another school.

The words echoed in Gao Cheng's ears.

"Teacher Miaocun cares about Qianju very much. We are not allowed to bully Qianju when we are in school. After Qianju transfers to another school, we seem to be connected..."

"I don't really remember, it seems that she disappeared without knowing it, and then the teacher told us that she transferred to another school... Maybe her father's death was a big blow."

"Teacher Miaocun has gone to nowhere, it seems that the world has evaporated..."

...

Leaving from the Shiga Police Headquarters with the corpse confirmation investigation report, Gao Cheng's ears were still buzzing, and a large number of clues gathered together.

Among these clues, the character line is more and more complicated.

"There is a problem with the body confirmation letter." Gao Cheng gathered his thoughts and said with clear eyes, "The police confirmed the identity of the body based on the testimony of Hiromi Asai and the fingerprints on Tadao Asai's belongings...

However, these evidences are not completely without problems. Fingerprint physical evidence can be falsified, and witness testimony can also lie. "

"No way?" Sonoko couldn't believe it, "If it wasn't Tadao Asagi who died, what about Tadao Asagi?"

"have no idea."

It's not easy for Gao Cheng to explain the details of the case to Yuanzi for the time being. It's okay if it's a private investigation. After all, he is now a member of the investigation team.

"Let's go and see someone again."

"Who?"

"Miaocun's ex-wife."

Miao Cun's ex-wife is named Imai Kayoko, and she lives alone by Lake Biwa. It was only when she was contacted by the police that she learned that a detective from Tokyo came to question her.

"call!"

Lake Biwa has a wide surface. It is said to be a lake, but it looks like an inland sea.

In the living room on the second floor near the lake, Gao Cheng and Sonoko sat down opposite Imai.

"He just cheated and ran away from home."

Imai was a little surprised at the two high school-like boys and girls visiting, but he still choked up when he thought of the police's warning.

"No matter how much I asked, who was that woman...he just said 'sorry, let's get a divorce'. This situation lasted for a year, and when I was about to give up..."

Gao Cheng frowned and looked at Imai who hesitated to speak.

Sure enough, it's not appropriate for people of his age and Yuanzi's age to come to ask how much.

Maybe it would be better if it was Kaga.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Sonoko got up and left the living room.

It was getting late, and when I left from Miao Village's ex-wife, the sunset had already appeared in the sky, so I could only stay in Shiga County for one night.

"And then," Yuanzi waited downstairs, saw Gao Cheng come out and asked, "What did she say?"

"In Miaocun's credit card records, I don't know who bought a 500,000 ruby ​​cross necklace," Gao Cheng speculated, "I suspect that the person Miaocun cheated on is actually Hiromi Qianju."

Here in Japan, the relationship between teachers and students does not seem to be a strange thing.

It is not impossible for a junior high school girl who has encountered problems in her family and has been bullied at school to like a teacher who protects her.

As for Miaocun, it's not surprising that he likes young and beautiful students. Anyway, he thinks this way after seeing Kayoko Imai himself.

They are all problem characters.

In this comparison, the environment he was in was really good, and there was nothing messy about it.

but……

If his speculation is correct, it seems to be very close to the truth of the incident.
