Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

On the second day of the investigation, Kido Detective Agency.

Gao Cheng, who was not lightly tired, didn't get up until Xiao Ai bought the vegetables and came home. Xiao Ai put away the ingredients, and went to the door of Gao Cheng's bedroom to listen suspiciously. look.

Xiao Ai tiptoed gently opened the door and looked inside.

The quilt was kicked aside again, and the bed was a mess, but nothing suspicious.

He walked into the room and wanted to cover the quilt, but found that Gao Cheng's whole body was tense, his arms were bruised and he was holding on to the bed sheet, and his surroundings were almost soaked in sweat.

"Are you having nightmares again?"

Xiao Ai's eyelids twitched unexpectedly, trying to recall the last time Gao Cheng had a nightmare.

It seems to be the time when I was invited by Xiajiang Qimoto to play in Hokkaido. Since then, this is the first time...

But this time, there seems to be nothing special. I just went to help the uncle next door investigate the attack. It seems that I was exhausted during this time.

Xiao Ai's face was slightly soft, and she wanted to help Gao Cheng wipe off his sweat but happened to meet Gao Cheng's eyes who suddenly opened his eyes.

"I bought fresh beef, and I will eat beef dishes today..." Xiao Ai turned and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

Gao Cheng opened his mouth, but his throat was a little swollen and painful, and his words turned into the sound of sucking in cold air, and his face turned pale from the severe pain.

His hands hurt as if cut by a knife, and his wrist seemed to be broken. He couldn't use any strength at this time, which seemed to be due to excessive force yesterday.

His body practice couldn't keep up. Although he had the demon sword Xingsha as a base, it was still a little bit reluctant to make a full shot. It was not much worse than the side effects of Okada Shizang's forced use of the red cherry demon sword.

Thinking of Gintama, the image of knives intertwined with blood and a sea of ​​flames appeared in Gao Cheng's mind again... The hell of Gintama World appeared in his dream again.

He didn't know why he dreamed of these again after such a long time, and even the figure of the mysterious teacher who taught a group of sword masters, Yoshida Matsuyo appeared frequently.

The illusory yet real world that broke into his dream because of the mystery of Lake Toya.

Since Lake Toya became the Demon Blade Star Breaker, these things should have disappeared from his life...

"Beep beep!" The phone in the pocket of the bedside coat suddenly rang, interrupting Gao Cheng's thoughts.

Gao Cheng let out a breath, got up and took out his cell phone with difficulty, and then connected the call, the familiar voice of Police Officer Mu Mu came out immediately.

"Brother Chenghu, we have already found out that the truck was stolen by the criminals, but people in the surrounding area all said that they only saw the burn scars on the criminals' arms... Hey, are you listening, Brother Chenghu?"

"I heard it," Gao Cheng came back to his senses, "What are you going to do next?"

"I can only hurry up and find that guy named Kimura," Mu Mu felt both headache and worried, "but the problem now is Brother Maoli, and after receiving a threatening text message from the gangster, he will put himself at risk for everything he says. You plan to use yourself as a bait to lure out criminals, and you won't even let me send someone to protect you..."

"Really? Uncle is so courageous."

Gao Cheng rolled his eyelids.

Uncle, this guy must be trying to save face, coupled with inexplicable self-confidence...

I will definitely say something else, "I am the world-famous Mori Kogoro, how can I hide timidly because my life is threatened?!"

but……

The uncle probably didn't want innocent people to be affected when the gangsters continued to attack. The owner of the laundry almost had an accident yesterday.

Gao Cheng put away his mobile phone, and his thoughts returned to the attack.

Although he was just helping out by the way, things didn't seem to be that simple.

He has been witnessed twice. The gangster was obviously careful not to leave any fingerprints, but he rolled up his sleeves in such a cold day so that people could see the burn scars on his elbows.

And attacking the uncle as Kimura twice in a row, is there such a coincidence?

There are also mobile phones with too few traces of use and coats that have not been worn much...

Everything looks like it was estimated and designed.

Thinking of the manager of the lemon bar he had seen before, Gao Cheng got dressed, washed his face in a hurry, put on the helmet next to the coat rack and went out.

"Stop eating?" Xiao Ai poked her head out from the kitchen.

"I'll be back in a minute."

Gao Cheng hurried downstairs, rode his motorcycle into the street with a buzzing sound, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Really..." Xiao Ai took a spoon and looked out the window, then went back to the kitchen to stir the beef soup.

"It seems a bit too salty."

...

\u0026nbon bar, there are still no customers during the day, only the bar owner Inoue is sitting in front of the bar.

Gao Cheng took out his camera and secretly took a few photos of Inoue, and asked the owner of a nearby shop, "Is there a free drink event at Lemon Bar recently?"

"Free drinks?" The store owner asked in surprise, "It's not a newly opened bar, where can there be free drinks?"

Gao Cheng thanked the store owner, and asked around one after another.

Sure enough, no one had ever heard of any free-flowing drinking event, and it was unprecedented for the uncle to drink for almost a week.

The result didn't seem to be very complicated, just investigating the bar and found the problem, but the police preconceived and focused all their energy on finding Kimura, so they didn't react.

In the Mori Detective Agency, police officer Megure sat in the office with a heavy expression, because Uncle Mori was still investigating outside, only Xiaolan and Conan entertained Megure.

When Gao Cheng came over, Mu Mu had just sat down and had a sip of coffee.

"The police are already trying their best to find Kimura and the gangster," Mu Mu said in a deep voice, "If the gangster's motive is to take revenge on brother Maori, then it's good to lock the target, but now he is mistaken for Kimura. Kimura can't find any clues..."

"I don't think there is any need to look for Kimura anymore."

Gao Cheng walked into the office and put several developed photos in front of Police Officer Mumu.

"The gangster attacked Uncle Maori for the first time because it was dark, but the next day he deliberately stole a truck and hit him on the side of the road. It's a bit unreasonable, so it is necessary to investigate the manager Inoue."

"But," Xiaolan said, "could it be because the person named Kimura looks like my father? Isn't there a saying that you can find at least three people like yourself in the world?"

"If that's the case, that Inoue's behavior is even more strange."

The corners of Gao Cheng's eyes twitched, it's not impossible that there are 3 people who look like uncles, but if so, Inoue should have said it from the beginning instead of the plain appearance.

"Of course, I can't be absolutely sure, but there is no doubt that Inoue is suspicious," Gao Cheng continued, "I asked in that area, and the so-called free drinks are only for Uncle, and everything is It's Inoue's one-sided opinion, isn't it? None of us can be sure if there is such a person named Kimura..."

Mu Mu frowned: "This possibility..."

"As long as you investigate it, it will be clear," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "The gangster specially fabricated Kimura, indicating that he doesn't want the police to investigate Uncle, and he doesn't want the police to investigate Uncle's enemies."

"You mean to say that Inoue himself is a gangster?"

Mumu stood up abruptly, there had been incidents where prisoners who were released from prison took revenge around Maori, and although it turned out to be a misunderstanding, this time it was really possible.

"I'll send someone to investigate Inoue immediately!"

"If my guess is correct, he should be the prisoner that Uncle has captured before," Gao Cheng continued, "I think he will find another opportunity to attack Uncle soon, and he will probably tell Uncle that he has contacted him. Kimura, and there is a person with a burn scar on his arm who is targeting Kimura, or similar news attracts the uncle to investigate, this is also the purpose of the gangster deliberately showing his elbow..."

"If this is the case, brother Maori is really in danger!"

Although Mu Mu's expression was still heavy, he was much more relaxed than before. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gao Cheng's analysis was correct. The investigation that was stuck at first had a direction in an instant, and he said happily: "You really deserve to be a brother of Chenghu. , reasoning is still so powerful!"

Gao Cheng smiled wryly.

In fact, it's not too difficult. Inoue has left too many loopholes, which are nothing compared to the methods designed by those high-IQ criminals.

And before the final proof, the reasoning is just guesswork, and the rest is up to the police to deal with.

"Yes, I'm Mumu," Mumu said on the phone, "First look up Maori's past cases, and then look up the manager of the lemon bar..."

"Huh?" Gao Cheng looked at Mu Mu, who was in contact with his subordinates, and glanced at the clock next to him.

It seems that I forgot something.
