Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

In the Nishikunitachi Shrine in Tokyo, a man was leaning against the wooden house in the quiet night, as if he was waiting for something, he lit a cigarette impatiently and checked the time on his watch.

"That guy Benkei is too slow?!"

"Yes, he said that the puzzle has been solved, and he should be the one who is most interested in this..."

"Whew!" Suddenly a cold arrow shot from the dark and hit the heart of one of the men wearing glasses. As the other two exclaimed, a figure rushed out from the opposite side like a stream of lightning, slashing vertically and horizontally with a knife.

Accompanied by the sound of screaming and falling to the ground, the visitor was heartbroken, shook off the blood stains and put the knife into the sheath, and then picked up the "Yi Jing Ji" in leisure time and left.

The moonlight reflected a chill on the mask of the kind old man who came. The turban and the blue-gray samurai uniform on his body were very distinct from the person who was killed, as if he had returned to the era of ancient swordsmanship.

...

A few days later, a joint meeting was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Gao Cheng walked into the meeting with Xiao Ai, and it happened to be the time for the spring break when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Originally, he planned to go out to enjoy the cherry blossoms, but because Xiao Ai was in a hurry to meet his father's friend, he changed the itinerary, and finally waited until the other party was free. At that time, he was temporarily pulled over by the Metropolitan Police Department.

The incident that happened this time is said to be related to a theft group of Hotaru Genji...

Police Officer Megure explained at the chairman's seat with representatives from all parties: "According to the investigation, the five people who were killed in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto have all been confirmed to be members of the thieves group Hotaru Genji. In view of this, this time The incident will be jointly investigated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Osaka Prefecture and Kyoto Prefecture..."

"We found that Genji Hotaru has been focusing on Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka since Heisei 3, and has continued to target well-known Buddha statues or artworks. All members call each other by Yoshitsune's retainers, and everyone has a book of Yoshitsune in their hands. ..."

Police officer Shiratori reported: "The chief receives the Yoshitsune, and there are eight members under him including Benkei and Yoshisaburo. At present, except for the three Yoshitsune, the other five have been killed one after another. Even the "Yoshitsune" they held "Records" were also taken away..."

"Now we only know that the murderer is a master of swordsmanship and bow and arrow. In other respects, there are no clues, including the age and gender of the three Yoshitsune..."

"Hmm." Gao Cheng couldn't help yawning after listening to the speeches of Mu Mu and others.

Really, just because the murderer is a master of swordsmanship, you can't just pull him here...

"What?" Xiao Ai sat in the last row,

Looking at the listless Gao Cheng, he said, "Are you scared?"

"I'm afraid?" Gao Cheng snorted, "It just so happens that there is a murderer who knows swordsmanship. I think it must be some kind of bandit group's internal strife..."

"In short," Police Officer Megure raised his voice, "In any case, we must arrest the murderer and other members of this thieves group as soon as possible. For this reason, we have invited the famous detective Takasei Kido to assist in the investigation!"

There was applause in the meeting room, and all the police officers turned their attention to Gao Cheng who was hiding behind.

"That," Gao Cheng stood up with a dry smile, "I would like to ask the police officers to give you some advice..."

That's why he hates such big actions. Usually, some cases are fine, but when encountering such things, he always feels that he can't please.

Let alone the trouble of this kind of cross-regional case, if he, an outsider, solves the case first, where will the face of other police officers be placed...

Gao Cheng sighed and sat back to his original position.

In the final analysis, he was still a little too young. If Uncle Maori was here...well, that guy probably wouldn't be much better.

At the end of the meeting, Gao Cheng was taken to the small conference room alone.

"The last place where the murderer appeared was Kyoto, right?" Gao Cheng suggested to Police Officer Megure, "When it comes to Yoshitsune, it should have something to do with Kyoto, so I think it's better to start the investigation from Kyoto first."

"Kyoto..." Meguro nodded deeply, "I also think Genji Hotaru has something to do with Kyoto, how about this, brother Kido, and police officer Ayanokōji to investigate the Kyoto area..."

"Officer Ayanokōji?"

Gao Cheng thought it was a female police officer, but when he turned around, he found that his partner this time was the unsmiling representative of the Kyoto Prefecture Police who sat next to Officer Shiratori at the meeting just now.

The typical long and thin face, the corners of the eyes hang down, and the bangs are pulled on the forehead. It looks a bit arrogant. The weirdest thing is that there is a little squirrel in the jacket pocket...

"I'm Ayanokoji Fumimaro, a police officer from Kyoto Prefecture. Although you are well-known in investigating crimes, just in case, I still hope that we will be the main ones when we arrive in Kyoto," Ayanokoji shook Gao Cheng's hand with a cold face, Turning to Mu Mu, he said, "Then, there will be a press conference later, so I'll go wash my face first."

"Uh……"

Gao Cheng watched Ayanokoji leave, and asked Sato and Takagi in a low voice, "What is this guy's background?"

"I heard that he is a descendant of the ancient courtiers, and he is called a 'noble police officer'," Sato said with a smile, "You have also seen the little guy in his pocket, right? Yes, he has a weirder personality than Officer Shiratori, but he and Officer Shiratori are classmates..."

"Ah..." Gao Cheng felt a little headache, "It might not be easy to partner with him this time..."

Kyoto, as the name suggests, was the capital of Japan in ancient times. It was a famous historical city. Although he had drawn a Japanese history card, he was definitely not as familiar with Kyoto as the local police officers.

However, this kind of investigation needs the help of local police officers, just like the Nihonbashi Kaga police officer who partnered with him before.

But it's not that there are no acquaintances in Kyoto. Okita from Quanxin High School has long wanted to invite him over, and Hattori should be familiar with Kyoto.

Speaking of Okita...

Gao Cheng also remembered that he had pretended to be Okita at Hinata's house earlier, seeing how good-tempered Okita was, he probably wouldn't mind, right?

It was already night when we returned to Kido Detective Office, and even Xiao Ai couldn't help but yawned several times, and quickly covered Gao Cheng's sight with his hands when he noticed Gao Cheng's gaze.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Ai," Gao Cheng walked to the door of the coffee shop, and touched Manguno who came over with his tongue out, "That friend of your father's can only go after returning from Kyoto."

Xiao Ai was a little disappointed, but she still shook her head understandingly: "I know, it's not a few days away anyway."

Gao Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, with my famous detective, Kido Gao Cheng, I will be able to solve this incident soon!"

Xiao Ai rolled her eyelids speechlessly: "How can anyone call themselves a detective?"

"In short, let's solve the case quickly, right? Let's go to Kyoto to see the situation tomorrow."

Back in the office, Xiao Ai went upstairs to prepare dinner, Gao Cheng thought about it and called Conan.

Although the last place where the murderer appeared was in Kyoto, it is an indisputable fact that Tokyo died so suddenly. Let's ask Conan for help...

"What? Are you going to Kyoto tomorrow?!"

"That's right," Conan yawned and walked outside the room, "There is a temple called Sannoji asking my uncle to investigate the case... By the way, I heard that you were asked to assist the police in investigating the case of Hotaru Genji, Do you want to help?"

Gao Cheng's eyelids rolled down, and he swallowed back the words: "No, I'm enough for myself."

How is it such a coincidence? I also thought that the police didn't find Uncle Mao Li, and in the end, these guys were going to Kyoto directly...

"Did you just say that?" Conan asked curiously, "Could it be that you are going to Kyoto to investigate?"

"Yeah, I'll go with you tomorrow to have a look, I have to get acquainted with Kyoto first..."

Gao Cheng rubbed his brows.

Uncle, Conan... Will you meet Hattori again when you go to Kyoto this time? If it is like before, something will happen in Kyoto again...
