Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Gao Cheng walked out of the village office silently, and while Mu Mu was conducting interrogation, he found the old policeman at the police station on the way to the public hall.

"Old man, do you still remember the case more than ten years ago? Did Mr. Aso really commit suicide?" Gao Cheng asked very concerned.

At the end of a minute, that miraculous state disappeared, but his thoughts did not disappear, leaving him with many doubts without clues.

"Well... that's what the eyewitnesses said," the old policeman recalled slowly, "I remember that the ones I witnessed at that time seemed to be the former village chief Guishan and Kawashima... Ah, yes, there were also village chief Heiyan and Nishimoto, the four of them saw it with their own eyes..."

"Aren't three of them killed this time?!"

Gao Cheng recalled his reasoning within a minute just now, and continued to ask: "Is there any relationship between the four of them?"

The old policeman nodded and said: "They and Aso grew up together. I remember that the five of them went to learn piano together when they were young. Later, when Aso became a famous pianist, Nishimoto often went to participate in his overseas concerts. Join us for the performance."

After saying this, the old policeman came to his senses and said, "Ah, now there is only Nishimoto left."

Gao Cheng's mouth twitched.

This old man's reflex arc is too long...

Returning to the village office with the old policeman, Gao Cheng continued to ask: "What about Dr. Chengshi? Does she have any relationship with Mr. Aso? Is it Mr. Aso's daughter?"

The old man shook his head: "Mr. Aso's daughter died in that fire a long time ago, and Dr. Cheng Shi came here a few years ago, but...speaking of it, Aso still has a son who should be alive, because he suffered from a serious illness when he was a child." I had a serious illness, so I have been in the hospital for treatment..."

"is that true?"

Gao Cheng sighed softly. Originally, he thought that Narumi Asai just had a special hobby of being a puppet, that is, the legendary master of women's clothing.

Only now did he know the real reason why he disguised himself as a woman. I'm afraid it was all because of the fire that happened more than ten years ago.

If the guess is correct, the Aso family may not have committed suicide at all, so the head of Heiyan village looked terrified before they died...

Gao Cheng held the wooden knife Toya Lake tightly, and followed the old policeman into the hall of the village office, where Mu Mu was interrogating a group of people.

The suspicion of Narumi Asai has been naturally ruled out, leaving only Masato Shimizu, Nishimoto, Hirata and Reiko's fiancé Monday as suspects.

As for the cipher message of the music score, Conan was not stumped for too long, this guy just didn't know enough about the piano.

After repeating the deciphered message to everyone, Conan's eyes fell on Gao Cheng who was following the old policeman, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"It's him! It must be him!" Nishimoto yelled in horror after learning the message of the score, "That guy is still alive... Keiji Aso is still alive!!"

"He is indeed dead!" The old policeman said, "The bones and tooth patterns found at the fire scene have also been compared. It is absolutely true that they belong to their family."

Recalling the tragedy, the old policeman sighed: "At that time, everything was burned, except for the music scores in the fireproof safe..."

"Music score?!" Everyone present was shocked.

"Where are those sheet music now?" Maori asked anxiously.

The old policeman recalled slowly: "It's in the warehouse of the public hall...but the key to the warehouse is in the police station, haha..."

"Then why don't you hurry up and get it?!" Mu Mu yelled with a dark face, "Hurry up!"

"Ah... yes!" The old policeman was startled, and hurried out of the village office.

"Wait a minute, I'll go too!" Conan thought of something, and hurriedly chased after him.

On the night road to the police station, Conan followed the old policeman,

Pretending to be chatting normally, he asked, "Did Mr. Aso really let his family burn to death?"

"Well, because it was Mr. Kameyama, the former village head, and Mr. Heiyan, Mr. Nishimoto, and Mr. Kawashima who saw it," the old policeman nodded. I also asked about it, and specifically asked me about Mr. Aso's son..."

"What?!" Conan was startled, and suddenly thought of Gao Cheng's strange appearance after reading the music score, "Kito... Brother Gao Cheng, did he say anything?"

...

At the village office, Gaocheng called Asai Chengmi outside alone.

"Kido-kun, what's the matter?" Asai Narumi looked at Gao Cheng's back uncertainly.

"Doctor Chengshi, you sent me that entrustment letter, right? In the name of your deceased father..."

Gao Cheng turned to face Asai Chengshi: "I have solved the case this time, including why you killed those people, and why Mr. Nishimoto is so afraid."

Narumi Asai's expression changed, and he looked at Gao Cheng silently.

"There was nothing wrong when Mr. Kawashima died, but," Gao Cheng said in a deep voice, "when it was the turn of Village Chief Heiyan, you showed a big flaw, that was blood stains, and it definitely didn't take about five minutes. I think it is probably using the automatic flipping device of the broadcasting station... The tape starts playing from the blank side at the beginning, and after the automatic flipping, more than 30 minutes of time can be added..."

Gao Cheng glanced at the silent Asai Naomi, and continued: "The only one who wanted to hide from the police here was you who was in charge of the autopsy. The reason why Mr. Kawashima was moved to the piano room after drowning was also to support him. Call the coroner, as a doctor, you are very clear about the autopsy process, and deliberately asked the coroner to bring Mr. Kawashima's body back to Tokyo for an autopsy..."

"Actually, I knew you were a man from the very beginning, but I didn't expect you to be Mr. Aso's son."

Gao Cheng looked up at the full moon in the night sky. He thought of Mamegaki Taeko in the previous case, and the curator Ochiai in the art museum incident... Even the murderer is not necessarily a bad person, so Asai Narumi called him and Kogoro Mori probably hoped that someone could stop him.

"Go and surrender, Doctor Chengshi."

A look of surprise flashed across Asai Chengshi's face: "Aren't you going to hand me over to the police?"

He had heard of the competition between Gao Cheng and Mori Kogoro before, this time it was obviously a good opportunity to suppress Mori Kogoro...

Seeing that Gao Cheng didn't respond, Asai Narumi smiled wryly and said, "You really are a very good detective, Kido-kun. I didn't think it would be so fast. At least Mr. Mori didn't doubt it at all."

"Although I don't know what happened to Mr. Aso back then," Gao Cheng turned and left, "I will definitely find out the truth, let Nishimoto get the punishment he deserves, and put my reputation as a detective on the line."
