Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 137: Dog Breeding Detective

The accident happened in an instant, and the scene was blown up into chaos. When everyone in the audience reacted, Hattori had already rushed out of the set, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

"Face! My face! Ugh!"

"Li Yi! Li Yi!"

"Heiji!" Kazuha cried and rushed to Hattori's side, "Heiji, wake up! Heiji!"

"How could this happen?" The director felt dizzy for a while, rubbing his temples and dared not go to the set room. The crew had been having constant problems, but now such a serious accident happened.

"Ambulance! Go and call an ambulance!"

Gao Cheng struggled to stand up, yelled at the people outside, and looked at the scene of the explosion with a sullen face.

Dust explosions... this was definitely not an accident!

Kyoto Hospital.

Hattori's head was wrapped in gauze, and he was still in a coma, and Kazuha watched worriedly while listening to the doctor's explanation.

"The impact the patient received was not too great, and there was no burn. The main thing was the bump... May I ask? The patient seems to have been kicked unconscious. What happened?"

"Kick, kick faint?"

"Because there are still obvious footprints on the buttocks..."

Gao Cheng covered his forehead, and tiptoed out of the ward while He Ye was not paying attention.

He and Hattori have no major problems, but the main character, Sakuraba Reiichi, is probably not enough. The accident this time is probably mainly aimed at the main character...

"You're the one, right?" The makeup-removing actress Lin Yuan Taoxiang also arrived at the hospital, and approached Gao Cheng aggressively, "If you can save someone, why not save Li Yi?!"

Gao Cheng looked at this hedgehog-like woman inexplicably.

Is there any mistake, one side is Hattori who has a good relationship, and the other side is just a stranger, who knows who to save...

Shaking his head, Gao Cheng didn't want to pay attention to this shrew, turned around and walked to the waiting area of ​​the lobby to sit down.

"What's your attitude? It's just a small role!"

Hayashi Yuanmomo was even more angry, but he had nothing to do with Gao Cheng, and walked to the other side of the examination room angrily. Sugita Fumiko, who also came to visit the actor, immediately became a punching bag.

"Why are you here? You and Liyi are over, right? Why are you still in the hospital?!"

"I'm just worried about Sakuraniwa-kun." Sugita Fumiko whispered.

"I'm ashamed to say that you actually want to reconcile with him, right?" Lin Yuan Taoxiang sarcastically said, "The ex-boyfriend wanted to turn back after he became popular, really shameless!"

"how come……"

"You are just a small supporting role, not worthy of him at all!"

With a medical patch on his face, Ying Tingli hurried to the hall: "You two stop arguing, I heard it all in the examination room."

"What, why do you say that?" Lin Yuan Taoxiang's expression softened, and he greeted Ying Ting Liyi with a gentle look, "He followed you to the hospital specially..."

"Is your injury okay?" Sugita Fumiko asked worriedly.

"It's nothing to hurt," Sakuraba Riichi ignored Lin Yuan and walked directly to Sugita Fumiko, "but it's a little troublesome for the actor..."

"What will happen to the role? The protagonist you finally got." Sugita Fumiko handed over Sakuraba Reiichi's coat like a wife.

"Whether you can continue filming or not, you have to listen to the director's opinion..."

"Hmph!" Lin Yuan Taoxiang's expression turned cold, "What kind of protagonist, if it weren't for me, do you think someone would take care of you? You are just two little characters that no one wants, so let's make out slowly!"

Lin Yuan Taoxiang stomped her feet, turned and left angrily, and before leaving, she gave Gao Cheng who was watching the excitement a hard look.

"An inexplicable woman..."

"Sorry," Sugita Fumiko looked at Gao Cheng apologetically, "It's all our fault for making her angry."

"It's nothing," Gao Cheng smiled, "If you don't have a movie to shoot, you can come to Tokyo to ask me for help. Although I am not in your circle, I know some directors and producers in Tokyo, so I should be able to talk about it. words."

"Eh?" Sugita and the two looked at each other,

Looking at the high school student-like Gao Cheng in front of him in surprise.

"Why don't you develop in Tokyo? Why..."

The two looked strange.

A random trick, I heard that the director was so annoyed that he agreed to Gao Cheng to act as a real team member, his status is lower than the two of them... There is a way to mix it up like this?

Ying Tingli had a suspicious expression on his face, he didn't believe that Gao Cheng would know the director and the investor, and he said indifferently: "Let's talk about it later, we have to go back quickly, otherwise we don't know how that woman Taoxiang will get along with her." said the director."

Gao Cheng silently watched the two leave.

He also needs to investigate this accident carefully. The dust explosion is quite powerful. If he hadn't reacted in time, it might have turned into a murder case.

I don't know if the main target is Reiichi Sakuraniwa, but the murderer even got Hattori and him involved, which is really cruel.

...

Kyoto Taimaki Studio, the shooting waiting area of ​​"Ryoma's Holiday", Hayashibara Momoka, as a popular idol, has an independent lounge. An ordinary-looking supporting actor Ryuji Iwasaki sneaked here and watched Looking around, he knocked on the wooden door quietly: "Miss Taoxiang, I have something to tell you..."

"Boom!"

In the supervisory room, the film supervisor, that is, the film director and assistant supervisor, have been staying here since the accident. The ashtray on the table was already full of cigarette butts, but the director kept lighting cigarettes.

"As long as Miss Taoxiang is around, this kind of movie can still be saved... Yes, I understand, it's fine."

After receiving the call from the producer, the director smiled as if nothing had happened, but before hanging up the phone, his expression immediately sank.

"What an idiot producer..."

Putting away the phone cursingly, the director turned to the assistant supervisor in a daze: "Tanaka, where's Tao Xiang?"

Assistant Superintendent Tanaka came back to his senses: "Since she came back from the hospital, she has kept herself locked in the waiting room."

"Here again, I lock myself up every time I'm in a bad mood," the director paused, lit a cigarette, looked at the assistant in front of him, and said, "Tanaka, go and see how she's doing."

"understood."

The assistant supervisor nodded, and left the room to the waiting room under the director's gaze.

Gao Cheng was just returning to the studio, and when he saw the assistant supervisor, he quickly asked, "Well, what will happen to this movie?"

"If this kind of thing happens, we can only stop it first." The assistant supervisor ignored Gao Cheng, "Let's talk about it later."

"Oh."

Gao Cheng re-entered the set room to check the scene of the incident.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a windbreaker walked into the studio with Fumiko Sugita, saw Gao Cheng walking around the scene of the incident, and shouted, "Hey, who are you?"

"He is Kido," Sugita Fumiko helped explain, "He was also a victim when it exploded..."

"Ah!" Without waiting for Sugita to clarify, the middle-aged man looked at Gao Cheng and said in surprise, "Aren't you that Okita Souji from Kyoto High School? I have seen your school's kendo competition!"

"Shoji Okita?"

Gao Cheng was stunned, shook his head and said with a smile: "Sorry, I'm not some Okita Souji, but the famous detective Kido Kocheng from Tokyo."

"Detective Kido Takasei?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised, took out the police handbook and said, "I am the police dog Kaigenichi of Kyoto Prefecture, and I am now in charge of this attempted murder case, and then leave it to our police, you can May I ask you a few questions?"

"Ah?" Gao Cheng was slightly taken aback.

"Although you are also a victim, I heard that you seemed to have foreseen the danger in advance." Quan Kai's tone was somewhat suspicious.

"It's not predictable, it's just a temporary response."

"Temporary reaction, your reaction is really fast enough."

The dog breeding detective glanced at Gao Cheng, and carefully checked the situation at the scene.

Except for the tattered paper window, I didn't find anything special...

"I can't find any traces of gas leaks or explosives. How did it cause the explosion?"

The dog breeding police officer frowned, took out a note and continued to ask Gao Cheng: "I heard that this threatening letter was put in the backstage beforehand, it seems that the murderer's target is Mr. Sakuraba, you know that something?"

"I don't know," Gao Cheng said helplessly after reading the threatening letter spelled out with cutout characters, "Officer, you don't suspect me, do you? I've only been here in Kyoto for a day or two, and I didn't know Yingting at all before." Sir, there is no conflict, so there should be a limit to doubt, okay?"

"But the explosion is really strange."

"Not surprising at all."

Gao Cheng squatted down and touched the powder in the stove: "At the end of the fight, the actors need to fight in the dust raised up. There should be no problem at first, but someone replaced the ordinary dust with flammable wheat flour. The sparks caused a dust explosion."

"Dust explosion? Can wheat flour also explode?" the dog breeder asked in confusion.

"A dust explosion is a violent explosion caused by the combustion of flammable dust floating in the air. It is quite powerful under certain conditions. There should be many cases in Japan."

Gao Cheng looked at the criminal policeman speechlessly. Although he didn't know much about the specific principles, at least he had heard of it. The criminal policeman was so old that he didn't know.

"In short, the murderer in this case should be someone who knew that prop knives would produce sparks, and at the same time knew that actors would fight in a dusty environment."

"Do you know who the murderer is?" Quan Kai cheered up.

"How is it possible? There are only a few suspects." Gao Cheng looked at Ms. Sugita at the side, "The most suspicious one is Ms. Taoxiang. Emotional problems are regarded as motives. She and Mr. Sakuraba seemed to have had a quarrel before the incident. One, and the other is..."

"That's right," Quan Kai affirmed without waiting for Gao Cheng to finish, "The prisoner must be Tao Xiang! Where is she now?"

Sugita was uncertain: "It seems to be in the waiting area, because she often likes to be locked in the waiting room by herself..."

"Okay! I'll go find her now!"

Quan Kai couldn't wait to go to the backstage, Gao Cheng felt a headache, he hadn't finished talking yet.

Compared with Kanto, his name as a detective is really not very useful in Kansai...

In the backstage waiting area, the door of Linyuan Taoxiang lounge was closed, and the assistant supervisor did not respond after filming for a long time.

"Miss Taoxiang!" The assistant supervisor slammed the door a few times, and shouted impatiently, "Miss Taoxiang! Open the door, please?!"

"What's wrong?" Inukai who rushed here wondered, "I'm a police dog in Kyoto Prefecture. What happened?"

"It's nothing," the assistant supervisor said awkwardly, "it's just that Miss Taoxiang is locked in the waiting room and can't come out..."

Quan Kai went to the door and pushed it, but the door couldn't be opened at all, and there was no response from inside: "Is she really inside?"

The assistant superintendent affirmed: "The door is bolted from the inside, and the house has only this exit, so it must be inside."

"There's no other way," Quan Kai took a few steps back, calling out to everyone, "We have to force our way in, let's break through together!"

"boom!"

Gao Cheng followed behind, watching the door being knocked open, and as a suspended figure appeared head-on in his field of vision, his eyes narrowed.

"what?!"

Wearing a patterned blue kimono with loose hair, he was hung from the beam by a rope with his back to the door.

Gao Cheng walked over the screaming crowd and entered the room, and confirmed that it was Lin Yuan Taoxiang himself. He closed his eyes tightly, as if he was still alive, but he had indeed turned into a cold corpse.

"It's actually dead..."

Gao Cheng glanced around and landed on the white costumes, shoes and socks.

Suicide actually took off his shoes, and the bottom of his socks was too clean...

It was not a suicide, but a case of murder in a locked room.

Gao Cheng's eyelids twitched.

"It should be suicide!" Inukai affirmed, "This is a secret room that is locked from the inside. If there are other people, they should not be able to get out..."

"Officer, I don't think it was a suicide," Gao Cheng stared at the scene and said, "Miss Taoxiang was killed!"

"What?" Quan Kai said with dissatisfaction, "There is only one exit here, and the door is bolted with an iron bar. After killing her, how will the murderer escape?"

"Perhaps it used a certain method..."

"How can there be any tricks? No matter how you look at this situation, it is suicide!"

"If it's suicide..."

"Anyway, our police will investigate whether it was suicide!" Quan Kai pulled Gao Cheng away, and said impatiently, "What a famous detective from Tokyo, after all, he is just a layman. It is our police's business to handle the case, so don't interfere. Alright, get out and get out."

What Gao Cheng wanted to say was blocked back, and he wanted to explain, but he was rushed out of the scene by the dog breeder police.

"Damn it, if only Police Officer Mumu..."

After a while, because the situation escalated into a murder case, several police cars came and Lin Yuan Taoxiang's body was also taken away by the police. Gao Cheng could only watch from the sidelines.

No way, detectives are just detectives after all, and they have no right or obligation to handle cases.

"That nasty old man, it's fine if he doesn't know about dust explosions, and he's still so self-righteous!"

Seeing the police car leave, Gao Cheng rubbed his temples with a headache.

I can only think of a way, otherwise this time the case will really be closed with Lin Yuan Taoxiang committing suicide.

In the dressing room of the film crew, the dog breeder detectives have gathered the people from the studio.

"Suicide?" Yingting Liyi asked in confusion, "But why did Taoxiang commit suicide?"

"It should be because of the explosion that happened in the previous filming, and he committed suicide in fear of crime," the dog breeder explained. "The explosion was not an accident, but an attempted murder case!"

"Attempted murder?"

Everyone looked at Quan Kai in surprise: "What's going on?"

"That is to say," Quan Kai said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back, "That may be a dust explosion deliberately designed by Lin Yuan Momo..."

"Dust explosion?"

Gao Cheng patted his forehead, he couldn't listen anymore, so he quietly left for the waiting area.

Now the only way to convince Quankai is to find out how the murderer created the secret room.

In Linyuan Taoxiang's lounge, the police had already left after the search. No one stopped Gao Cheng from investigating. He stood again at the place where Linyuan Taoxiang hanged himself and observed the whole room.

Inukai is right about one thing. The lounge seems to be an imitation of an ancient warehouse. Except for two doors that can be bolted from the inside, there is no other exit at all. The high windows are also completely fixed wooden bars.
