Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"Sorry to disturb everyone," the twin maids suddenly stood in the middle of the hall, "Ladies and gentlemen, this mansion has a custom of locking the mask hall at midnight."

"Once it is locked, the East Wing and West Wing can no longer be connected to each other, so we must ask everyone to go back to the room to rest before that, I hope everyone will cooperate."

"what?"

"It's only half past eleven..."

Gao Cheng didn't ask Uncle Mao Li any more, and asked strangely, "How could there be such a weird practice?"

The twins explained: "Because Shoble's mask likes to play tricks, so once it's past 12 midnight, it will play around without authorization."

"We must lock them all in the Hall of Masks."

"It's outrageous, isn't it?" Matsudaira swallowed, "It's just nonsense!"

"It's true," the maid said calmly, "every time after dawn, those masks will either tilt left or right, or fall directly to the ground. It has happened too many times in the past."

"So please everyone, now you can start preparing to go back to your room to rest."

"Uh……"

A trace of cold sweat dripped down Gao Cheng's forehead.

I don't know where Su Fang Hongzi found this pair of twin maids. They stand together like mirror images, with the same expression and the same tone. It's not so much printed from a mold, as it is to say that one person has been divided into two people.

Coupled with the topic of cursed masks, the level of weirdness soared.

"Da da." In the East Wing, Gao Cheng and Hui Yuan returned to the room together, next door was the room of Uncle Mao Li's three people.

Seeing the figure of the uncle entering the room, Gao Cheng paused, then turned to the maid in the east wing, Hoonami, and asked, "Where does Ms. Su Fang live?"

Hoonami replied: "The teacher's room should be on the side of the west wing, because the only way to get to the teacher's room is through the stairs in the west wing."

"Only over there?"

Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes tightly.

"Although I'm sorry, can you arrange a room for us over there?"

"Eh? But..." Hoonami looked puzzled.

"Should there be room available?" Gao Cheng said cautiously, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I'm also thinking about Teacher Su Fang's safety."

"Okay, I'll go talk to the teacher."

"What?" Huiyuan watched the maid leave, and said unexpectedly, "Do you think that threatening letter is true? The curse mask will suck blood tonight..."

"If it's true, it's a murder case. You can't be careless even if it's just a possibility, right?" Gao Cheng went back to the room to pack his luggage, and calmly pulled out Lake Toya from his backpack.

Huiyuan glanced at Gao Cheng unexpectedly: "I didn't expect you to care about that lady so much. Could it be that you have also been helped by her?"

Gao Cheng stopped.

Speaking of which, because his parents died in a car accident when he was young, the city household Gaocheng in this world has always been dependent on his grandfather, so he is indeed an orphan in a car accident.

"I just don't want a life case," Gao Cheng gathered his thoughts, "Although my parents died in a car accident, I have nothing to do with Ms. Su Fang, and I am not an orphan. My grandfather has been taking care of me since I was a child. I."

"Oh?" Huiyuan fell silent, Gao Cheng's situation was similar to hers, he was all alone now, it would be good if it continued like this.

It would be nice if there wasn't that dangerous and terrifying organization staring...

"Detective Kido," Suo Nami walked outside the door and reminded, "The room in the west wing is ready."

"Thanks, we'll be there right away."

Gao Cheng nodded, thanked Hoonami, carried the luggage and followed Minaho to the West Wing.

The guest rooms are almost all on the second floor. The first floor is mainly the activity room and the servants' rooms. People from Su Fanghongzi Performing Arts Company usually live on the first floor, and only Su Fanghongzi lives on the third floor.

When Gao Cheng and Hui Yuan moved to the new room, Su Fang Hongzi had already fallen asleep completely, so it was not good to bother her.

Huiyuan knew that Gao Cheng planned to stay at the stairs on the third floor tonight,

Strangely said: "If you are worried about accidents, there should be better ways?"

"Yes, yes, you can forcibly investigate everyone in the villa or ask me to be a bodyguard, but I am only a guest, so what if there is a better way? Just do your best, and besides, what kind of spirit is Ms. Su Fang more willing to believe in?" media."

Gao Cheng shook his head. He has nothing to do with Su Fang Hongzi. If it is too late, not only will he not get Su Fang Hongzi's gratitude, but it will arouse resentment.

Time passed, and as the pendulum clock struck midnight, the two doors of the Mask Hall were locked at the same time, and the east and west rooms were completely separated.

Gao Cheng and Hui Yuan guarded in the dark beside the stairs on the third floor, keeping an eye on them in the dark.

Almost everyone else had rested, there was no sound in the corridor, and no one knew they were hiding here.

"It's so late, isn't it really a prank?"

Gao Cheng yawned, looking tired.

In such a cold night, it will be troublesome if you catch a cold...

Looking at Huiyuan wrapped in a coat, Gao Cheng whispered: "Xiao Ai, you should go back to sleep first, I am enough here."

Huiyuan didn't move, but just buried his head in his arms and asked softly: "Kiroto, why did you choose to be a private detective? Most people should be able to get into a good university, right?"

"How did you become a detective?" Gao Cheng was stunned, "Of course it was to make money at first."

"make money?"

"Yeah, there is only one detective agency left, and I don't know what to do if I don't become a detective."

Gao Cheng wiped his nose embarrassingly: "But now besides making money and fame, I feel that I can't do without this profession. I occasionally help people who are in trouble, and I can keep searching for the truth. Well, it should be said that finding people's hearts is even more important." It's more suitable..."

"Ah Choo." Hui Yuan sneezed softly, and gradually fell asleep next to Gao Cheng.

"..."

"I'm just starting to say..."

Gao Cheng looked at Huiyuan helplessly, and then returned to the stairs.

There's no reason, Uncle Maori and Conan came here together, and with so many weird situations, how could nothing happen?

Really just a prank? Or was it influenced by his butterfly effect?

"Schabble's mask is gone!" There was a sudden commotion in the hall of masks, and Uncle Mao Li's loud voice immediately caught Gao Cheng's attention, even Hui Yuan was awakened.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, it seems that something happened."

Gao Cheng walked outside the locked hall of masks, when suddenly there was a strange sound on the third floor while he was concentrating.

There were low, miserable cries and the sound of things falling...

Gao Cheng's eyes narrowed sharply.

"Could it be... no way?"

On the third floor of the West Wing, Su Fanghongzi's room was tightly locked, but Gao Cheng was still caught by something in his heart, there was no response when he knocked on the door, and the transom on the door could not see the situation in the room at all.

"Ms. Su Fang!"

After breaking the transom with a wooden knife, Gao Cheng set up a platform to look inside. Under the dim light, he could only see Su Fang Hongzi lying on the bed, surrounded by scattered Shoble masks, and the blood that stained the bed...

"Kirodo!" Uncle Mao Li and others rushed over, "How is it? Where's Ms. Su Fang?"

Gao Cheng shook his head: "Call an ambulance first, and call the police by the way."

"Brother Kido," Conan said anxiously, "Let me go in there and see what's going on inside first."

"Be careful."

After the glass fragments were removed from the transom, it was just enough for Conan, a child, to enter. In order to prevent Conan from being scratched, Xiao Lan carefully spread a tablecloth.

But even if he didn't go in, Gao Cheng knew that Su Fanghongzi was basically hopeless.

The breath of death had already been mixed with the bloodthirsty mask, and he clearly felt that Su Fang Hongzi in the room had already lost her breath...

Just why is this happening?

He has been guarding the stairs, making sure that no one is near Ms. Su Fang's room.

And those masks, they are obviously locked in the Hall of Masks, why did they appear at the murder scene...

What the hell, people get killed like this.

...

In the early hours of the morning, police officer Mu Mu, who received the report, rushed to the villa, and his face collapsed instantly when he saw Uncle Mao Li.

"Really, when you received the threatening letter, why didn't you immediately notify the police?"

"Well," said Uncle Mao Li with a dry smile, "because Ms. Su Fang said that she often receives such threatening letters, so there is no need to make a fuss, so..."

The forensic personnel in the room were still taking pictures, and the scattered masks remained in their original state.

Gao Cheng stood in a corner of the room, frowning and observing the scene.

According to the uncle, someone suddenly made an internal call to them, and then found that all the Schaub masks in the mask hall had disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, there was a strange noise from the third floor.

It should be Su Fang Hongzi's screams and the sound of these masks being scattered.

Someone killed Su Fanghongzi at that time, but the crux of the problem was that the only door that could enter Su Fanghongzi's room was locked, and no one approached at all.

Considering the structure of the east and west rooms, it is almost impossible for people in the west room to commit crimes, but the east room also cannot enter Su Fanghongzi's room, because the door leading to the next room in the east room was sealed with nails a long time ago.

The only problem is the wooden fence above the door. If it is removed, it should be possible to get in and out, but the police checked it just now, and the fence wooden board cannot be removed, and even a hand cannot pass between each wooden board...

"When you came here, the door was locked from the inside, right?" Mu Mu asked standing at the door.

"Yes, and there are two locks on it," Uncle Mori explained. "At that time, Kido was the first to come over. After breaking the transom glass, he let Conan enter the room and confirmed that Ms. Su Fang had been killed."

"Two locks?"

"I heard that Ms. Su Fang always locks two locks when she sleeps, one is the door lock, and the other is a padlock prepared separately."

Mu Mu asked strangely, "Why are there two locks?"

"According to her secretary, Ms. Inaba, when she asked the psychic to seal the curse of the mask, she had ordered several rules that Ms. Su Fang must strictly abide by. Two locks."

Gao Cheng said: "Officer Mumu, Ms. Su Fang seems to have the habit of taking sleeping pills because of frequent insomnia recently. There is no sign of struggling in the body, which means that she also took sleeping pills today... In other words, this is an accidental accident." Possibly a locked room murder."

"Impossible chamber murder?"

"The door leading to the bedroom next door was sealed with nails a few years ago. The latticed wooden boards on it couldn't even pass through an arm. The two windows in the room were also sealed. There was nothing unusual. The only thing that could The entrance and exit doors were locked again from the inside..."

Gao Cheng looked at the door lock, raised his elbow and said in a low voice: "The murderer cannot enter or leave this room. Most of the secret room incidents in the past were locked from the outside, but this time the padlock wants to be locked from the outside." It's impossible to lock it, and most importantly..."

"The most important thing?" Mu Mu stared blankly at Gao Cheng who suddenly stopped talking after his appetite had been tantalized, "Speaking of which, Brother Chenghu, why did you arrive at the scene first?"

"Because I have been guarding the stairs," Gao Cheng said solemnly, "Just in case, Xiao Ai and I moved to the west wing, and we have been here since the mask hall was locked at 12 midnight Stalk."

"What?" Mu Mu asked anxiously, "Then what did you find?"

"No, but I'm sure that no one has approached this side, nor has anyone approached the Hall of Masquerade." Gao Cheng shook his head, and returned his gaze to the door connecting the bedroom in the east wing next door.

Get rid of the preconceived influence, the uncertain situation is the East Wing.

The Mori family on the second floor cannot be the murderer, only Aikawa Fuyuya who lives on the first floor and Honami, one of the twin maids, are left.

Ho Nami was with the uncle when Su Fang Hongzi screamed, and the only suspect was Aikawa Fuyuya.

If there is no accident, the murderer is Aichuan Fuyuya.

Thinking about it carefully, the murderer made an internal call to Uncle Mao Li beforehand. It was suspicious in the first place, as if to let the uncle confirm that the mask hall was locked.

If he hadn't happened to be guarding the stairs with Xiao Ai, everyone in the West Wing would have become suspects. Thinking backwards, the possibility of the murderer being in the East Wing is very high.

The question is the method of killing, how did the murderer do it...

"Police department!" A police officer returned to the scene, "We have searched all around the house, and there is no trace of the murderer entering or exiting in the nearby snow."

"Well," Mu Mu had never encountered such a problem before, frowning and muttering, "The problem now is that the murderer can't even enter and exit this room, and the brother Chenghu has been guarding the door, so it is impossible No one can kill Ms. Su Fang..."

"Hmph," Uncle Mao Li glanced at Gao Cheng, "I think it's probably because you took a nap, that's why you didn't notice the murderer."

As he said that, the uncle turned to Mu Mu and said: "Officer, no matter what, if you want to go to Ms. Su Fang's bedroom on the third floor, you can only go through the stairs in the west wing. Locked, unable to walk with each other, so the murderer is the person who lives in the west wing today."

Mu Mu frowned even deeper, if he had to choose between Mao Li and Gao Cheng, for some reason he would be more willing to trust Gao Cheng.

But now we can only follow Uncle Mao Li's thinking, otherwise, would some Su Fang Hongzi in the report be killed by a curse?

"Kiroto," Conan leaned closer to Gao Cheng, "are you really staring at this side all the time?"

Gao Cheng's attention turned to the scattered masks on the scene, and he didn't want to know the murderer's method anymore. The uncle might start to suspect that he was the murderer: "It's impossible for anyone to hide from my eyes, at least not here, and I'm more sure The murderer lives in the east wing."

"East Wing?" Conan said in surprise.

"Didn't you notice it?" Gao Cheng laughed, "Why did the murderer call your room before the murder? It has nothing to do with the name of the uncle's famous detective. No matter who lives in the east wing room, he will receive the call. The other party is just Just need a piece of testimony."

"Testimony? Could it be that..."

"That's right, the Hall of Masks was locked at the time of the incident, and the person who committed the crime was the person in the West Wing, this testimony.

"Now I have been staying at the stairs, but I have become the most suspicious and the person who can prove everyone's innocence. I don't know how the murderer will feel when he finds out."

There was a trace of cold sweat on Gao Cheng's face, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"However, after the murderer is identified, the criminal method will be solved by me sooner or later."
