Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Gao Cheng rubbed his brows.

If there is no super high IQ that rivals criminals, the only thing a detective can rely on is carefulness and caution. The secret to becoming a famous detective is to observe more, pay attention to details, and then return to overall thinking... This is also the investigative experience he has summed up these days.

Is there anything else you haven't noticed about this incident?

Gao Cheng looked at the turned off magic lamp again, as well as the artificially cut red carpet, and finally looked at the magic lamp wires on the ground.

Speaking of which, the length of the wire is sufficient, and it seems that there is no need to pull out the plug to hang the corpse, and there is no need to draw the wire that was originally routed from the bottom of the carpet to the top, which would be a waste of effort...

"Ok?"

Gao Cheng looked at a few photos of the scene from the horse-faced police officer, his face became serious again, and he quickly began to compare them in his mind.

There are two photos, one is the scene where the dead body is wrapped around the neck by wires, and the other is the cursed doll that is also wrapped around the neck...

Looking carefully, the sense of incongruity is getting stronger.

Maybe Huo Si Xingzi was just used by the real criminal...

...

As time was getting late, the police still had nothing to gain, and temporarily stopped the investigation. Only the horse-faced police officer also had doubts about Huo Si Xingzi, and stayed in the grape house with one of his men.

"Miss Xingzi."

When Gao Cheng and police officer Ma Mian returned to the main building, they accidentally ran into Huo Si Xingzi who had just picked a basket of herbs in the courtyard. Xiaoqiao Xianjian followed behind, his expression not very good, as if he had confronted Huo Si Xingzi.

"Are these all herbs for making tea?"

"No," Huo Si Xingzi said with a smile, "These are poisonous grasses, and they can easily kill you if you use them improperly. Because Teacher Heigua said that they will be used in the black magic tonight, so I went to pick some."

"There is still a black magic ceremony today?"

"That's right, because my brother was also cursed, Mr. Heigua decided to appease the Holy Spirit's anger just in case... I'll change my clothes and go to the ceremony, Mr. Kido too."

Gao Cheng felt a little sore,

It's really abnormal for this family to still play black magic at such a time.

When Huo Si Xingzi left, Xiaoqiao Xianjian shook his head unhappily at Gao Cheng and the horse-faced police officer: "She didn't admit it at all, she just kept pretending to be stupid... But I think she is the murderer. All right."

The horse-faced police officer also felt that it was difficult to deal with: "The cursed doll has been sent for inspection, and there may be some gains. In addition, the time of Huo Si Jiuyao's murder has been confirmed to be between 11:45 and 12:15 last night. .”

"By the way, officer," Gao Cheng remembered, "can you help me find out the situation of Huo Si's family 10 years ago? I want to know why Huo Si Qinglong adopted a child when the company was about to go bankrupt."

The horse-faced police officer thought for a while, and it was definitely possible that it was a clue 10 years ago. He nodded and said, "I see. If there is any news, I will let you know."

At night, the sky was dark, overcast clouds gathered above the villa, and when the faint rainstorm was approaching, everyone gathered again between the ceremony.

Perhaps it was because Huoji Jiuyao was killed here, everyone's necks were a little sweaty after seeing the lit magic lamp, as if they saw Huoji Jiuyao kneeling beside the lamp again, with his mouth open and his eyes blank.

"Boom."

The black magic ceremony was carried out amidst the dull thunder, Gao Cheng, Xiaoqiao Xianjian and the horse-faced police officer couldn't help but feel hairy in their hearts. Izawa Kentaro, who was suspicious and uncomfortable, kept silent on the sidelines.

"Okay..."

The lights were turned on again, and the Black Melon Ghost Gate announced to everyone: "The ceremony to let the souls of the dead rest in peace has ended safely, and there is no need to worry about it. There will be no more curses in this family."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Black Melon!"

"It's nothing." Heigua waved his hand and walked out of the room. "Today, the magic lights don't need to be turned on, but just like yesterday, please come to the tea party on time at 12 o'clock."

"Ok."

Huo Si Xingzi nodded easily, and said to the maid who was packing up: "Koizumi, leave the rest to me, you go prepare dinner."

"Okay, Miss Xingzi."

During the ceremony, everyone left one after another, only Gao Cheng stayed behind with Huo Si Xingzi.

"Is Miss Xingzi left-handed?" Gao Cheng suddenly asked, watching Huo Si Xingzi packing up the props.

"Ah?" Huo Si Xingzi was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly, "That's right, I'm used to it, what's the problem? Mister Kido doubts me too, right?"

"I asked the police. When President Qinglong was killed, you did have sufficient proof of absence..."

"Really?" Huo Si Xingzi laughed even more happily.

"However," Gao Cheng walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked outside, "Before President Qinglong was killed, he found a prophetic cursed doll here...Miss Xingzi, who told you to do this?"

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Huo Si Xingzi's face changed, and he smiled stiffly, "Who told me to do this..."

Gao Cheng looked back at Huo Si Xingzi, did not continue to ask, turned around and walked out of the room silently.

There is still a big doubt. Considering the time, it is true that only Huo Si Xingzi is likely to commit the crime. He is still not completely sure that Huo Si Xingzi is the murderer's pawn.

"Da da."

At dinner time, Heigua Guimen walked through the corridor with his hands in his hands, instead of going to the restaurant like everyone else, he went straight out of the villa.

"Mr. Heigua," Gao Cheng stood in front of Guigua Guimen, "Are you leaving so soon?"

"Mr. Kido?" Heigua Guimen stopped in his tracks, and looked unexpectedly at Gao Cheng who was holding a wooden knife.

"I should call you, Hell Puppet Master Gao Yuanyaoyi is more appropriate, right?"

"Gao Yuanyaoyi? I am the black magician Heigua Guimen..."

"Crack!"

An afterimage of the knife light flashed, the words of Heigua Guimen were blocked in his mouth, and the mask on his face cracked to reveal an unfamiliar pale face, with a bloodstain oozing from his forehead.

"What, what's wrong?" Heigua Guimen opened his mouth, and looked at Gao Cheng who was standing still in shock, "I told you that I'm not Gao Yuanyao..."

"how is this possible?"

Gao Cheng stared straight at Heigua's ghost door, and stretched out his hand to pinch the skin of Heigua's face in disbelief.

It's not a mask. Except for his disguise card, other disguises in this world cannot have such a real effect, which means that the person in front of him is really not Gao Yuanyaoyi.

Were all previous judgments wrong?

"Mr. Kido," Heigua Guimen said unfairly, "You don't think I'm a murderer, do you?"

"Feel sorry……"

Accompanied by the rolling thunder, Karuizawa gradually began to rain heavily, Gao Cheng let go of the black melon ghost gate, and walked into the villa frowning.

"Boom—!" A flash of lightning illuminated the villa, and the sound of thunder seemed to explode in Gao Cheng's ears. All the lights in the hall were extinguished at once, and the originally brightly lit corridor suddenly fell into darkness.

"power failure?"

Gao Cheng ignored Heigua Guimen and walked towards the kitchen where the main gate was located.

Everyone in the villa was obviously a little flustered, but when the maid's voice sounded, they got used to going to the kitchen first, and the lights turned on again with a snap.

"It's just tripped..."

"Woo, Mr. Kido," Huo Sixiao's 17-year-old wife came to Gao Cheng's place at some point, and kept wiping away her tears, crying, "Did you see Xiao? There are other people in the room where he works." I can't find him anywhere..."

"President Xiao is gone?" Gao Cheng felt dizzy again.

What the hell are these people doing?
