Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 67 Solving the Puzzle

"Kiroto? That's the one on TV a few days ago..."

Kenjian Xiaoqiao looked at Gao Cheng incredulously: "But isn't your name Jin Tianichi?"

"Uh, let's talk about it later," Gao Cheng nodded awkwardly, turned to the female teacher in surprise, "Mr. Ogata, why are you here? Where is Eagle Island?"

Ogata looked back: "Nanase is taking care of you..."

"Ah!" Suddenly there was a sound of breaking glass, followed by Takashima Tomoyo screaming.

"not good!"

Gao Cheng's expression became tense, and he hurriedly took the lead to rush out of the room, and just passed through the corridor, he saw a raging flame burning in front of Yingdao's house, and a black shadow ran to the other side through the flames.

"Damn it! Is it Geyue?" Xiao Qiaoxian saw that he couldn't care less about saving people, so he chased after her.

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Gao Cheng stopped and looked at Yingdao's room. The window was broken from the outside, and the debris was scattered all over the place. Fortunately, Yingdao and Nanase were not injured. He nodded and left the others to put out the fire. Step over the flames in one fell swoop to chase after the shadow.

"What happened..." Arimori Yuji suddenly ran out from the corner of the corridor and collided with Xiaoqiao Kenjian head-on, and the two fell at the same time.

"it hurts!"

"What's the matter?" Others followed Arimori from the opposite side, looked at the chaotic scene in surprise, and hurriedly put out the fire.

"Didn't you see anyone running over?" Xiao Qiaoxian stood up in pain and asked a few people.

The corridor of the villa is in the shape of a circle, it didn't take long for him to catch up to the corner of the corridor, but Ge Yue disappeared out of thin air...

"No," Arimori pointed to the other side of the corridor without knowing why, "I rushed over when I heard the sound."

"Could it be that he jumped out of the window and escaped?"

Gao Cheng followed the muddy footprints on the ground to an open window at the corner.

"Probably not, it's a cliff outside..." Xiaoqiao Xianjian also noticed the footprints on the ground extending to the window, hesitantly poked his head out, and said in surprise, "There seems to be something under the cliff!"

"Is there a flashlight?" Gao Cheng turned to the maid and asked.

"I do," Dr. Yuki came down from the second floor with a flashlight, and rubbed his forehead complainingly, "It's been noisy since just now, and I haven't slept well all night..."

"Doctor Yuki!"

Gao Cheng took the flashlight and shone it down the cliff. Below the steep cliff, the waves slammed against the rocks. Through the light, one could faintly see the mask of the opera monster and the black cloak floating on the sea.

"Did that guy fall into the sea?" Xiaoqiao Xianjian looked at the sea in a deep voice.

"If you fall from here, there is no salvation..."

"It was suicide!"

Xian Daofeng and the others extinguished the fire, and rushed to the corner of the corridor with everyone and said excitedly: "Because there were people attacking on both sides of the corridor, he must have committed suicide in a desperate situation! It's the same as the ending of the weirdo in the opera house!"

"Great, so we're all saved!"

"Suicide?" Gao Cheng looked out the window carefully.

There is no way to hide in this kind of place, and it is difficult to climb up to the second floor...

"I think it might be that he was eager to escape from the window, but he didn't know that there was a cliff outside." Xiaoqiao Xianjian looked at Gao Cheng, and said with a sigh of relief, "Although it is very unexpected, this murder is over after all. Now, everyone will go to rest..."

"it's not finished yet."

Gao Cheng returned the flashlight to Dr. Yucheng, closed the window and said, "Regardless of whether the murderer is dead or not, the stolen crossbow is still missing."

"Detective Kido, do you think the murderer is still alive?" Kenjian Xiaoqiao frowned. He really couldn't think of the possibility that the murderer was still alive. The reality was in front of him, and even a famous detective couldn't deny it.

"Anyway, everyone be careful, Ogata-sensei, Takashima-senpai still needs to trouble you to take care of her.

"

Gao Cheng reminded, and went to check a case location alone again.

"Just now you said Detective Kido," Xian Daofeng looked at Xiaoqiao Kenjian strangely and said, "His name is Kindaichi?"

"This..." Nanase explained with a bitter face, "Kito said he wanted to travel like an ordinary student, so he used the name Kindaichi..."

"Wait a minute! Kido...couldn't he be the famous Kido Kosei? How is this possible?"

Xiandao and the others looked at Gao Cheng's back with a smile, but after saying this, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but they did feel an unusual detective temperament.

"Really? I didn't notice it at all before..."

...

Annex Opera House.

Gao Cheng returned to the stage with his chin in his hand. As the one-minute mode was turned on, his mind began to run at a high speed again. All the interference from the sound of thunder and rain was eliminated, and there was only a three-dimensional picture of a fictitious completed villa in front of him. Countless details and clues continued to emerge around the villa. come out.

The geek mask of the opera house under the cliff, the footprints extending to the window...

The scene of Kenjian Kohashi’s pursuit reappeared in front of Gaocheng’s eyes, as if going back in time. All the details and clues on the scene were combined and arranged, from the strange person disappearing at the corner to the collision between Kenjian Kohashi and Yuji Arimori, and to the appearance of Toyo and others ...

If the weirdo didn't commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, there is only one possibility... Yuji Arimori is the weirdo!

While running to the corner, Arimori threw the weird mask, cloak, and muddy shoes out of the window, and then turned around and rushed out to collide with Kenjian Kohashi.

Because of the corridor, no one could see the murderer. At first glance, he thought Arimori was running over from the opposite corridor like everyone else.

Gao Cheng flicked his fingers quickly, reasoning and deducting the condition that Yumori was the murderer, all the way back to Kiryu's death, it was a perfect fit, only Hidaka's death still had doubts.

When Hidaka Zhie screamed, except for him who was in Hidaka's room on the second floor, everyone else stayed in the restaurant on the first floor, and all of them had alibi...

A clue suddenly flashed through Gao Cheng's mind.

He has never quite understood why the murderer deliberately lowered the stage curtain, but now he caught a little clue in the one-minute mode.

"Sure enough, it's to create an alibi."

His eyes swept across the stage, and the pictures in front of him were quickly screened, and finally only the detailed pictures about Yuji Arimori remained.

At the beginning, Arimori seemed to know that the rehearsal would not last for a few days, and his expression was very strange when he mentioned Rika, and the possibility of implementing the alibi method in the theater was the greatest...

"It must be Yumori." Gao Cheng looked affirmative.

He has roughly understood the puzzle on the stage side of the theater. The problem is that there is no evidence, no strong evidence to prove that Yumori is the murderer.

Arimori's hands and feet are very clean, even the props of the opera monster are disguised as jumping off a cliff and disposed of in advance. The only thing that may be left behind is the missing crossbow gun...

If Arimori is the murderer, it is impossible to let Takashima Yuyo go. Now the missing crossbow is the key. Arimori will definitely kill Takashima Tomoyo. The question is how to kill him.

The so-called "Song Yue" committed suicide by jumping off a cliff was not really forced into desperation. Arimori should have designed that way from the beginning to make "Song Yue" commit suicide, otherwise it would be impossible to react in such a short time.

However, since "Utazuki" was killed, Arimori obviously prepared another method for Takashima Yuyo. Combined with the missing crossbow gun, it may be some kind of mechanism for triggering automatic archery.

And if you want to shoot Takashima Tomoyo accurately, the design method and position of this mechanism should be...

"Shua!" After one minute ended suddenly, Gao Cheng's mind returned to normal, and he felt like falling from heaven to hell in an instant.

The time is still too short, not enough at all.

Gao Cheng smiled wryly, calmed down and returned to the case.

Although the issue of the final evidence has not been resolved, at least there is an idea. The most urgent task is to find the crossbow used as a mechanism as soon as possible.

In the villa, because of the tossing all night, everyone who was very tired went back to their respective rooms, only the high school student detective was still wandering in the corridor.

Gaocheng found Nanase alone, and learned that Arimori had also gone back to his room to rest.

"Kiroto," Nanase asked confused, "Is it really possible for Utazuki to be alive? In that case, there is no way to escape."

Gao Cheng smiled, looked at Nanase with a bitter face and said, "Sometimes the truth is simpler than you think, okay, can I trouble you to find an excuse to stay with Senior Arimori?"

"Eh?"

"please."

After separating from Nanase, Gao Cheng searched for a place to hide the crossbow near Yingdao's room, but found nothing.

There are not many places that meet the conditions of the agency.

The sky brightened, and the wind and rain outside the villa gradually subsided, and it looked like a sunny day.

When Gao Cheng walked into the restaurant, Uncle Tianshu greeted him excitedly and said, "We have already contacted, and a boat will come to pick us up at ten o'clock."

"Is there no typhoon?"

Gao Cheng didn't sleep all night, rubbed his eyes tiredly, yawned and sat down at the dining table: "When will I eat? I'm so hungry that I can't stand it."

"Breakfast will be ready soon, let's have a glass of milk first..." Uncle Tianshu turned back and took a cup, saw the sign with the words "Jin Tian Yi Yi" in front of him, slapped his forehead and reacted, "I didn't expect you to be that famous detective city Hu Gaocheng, I will change the brand for you later..."

"Don't use this, it's just a name."

Gao Cheng was embarrassed for a while, but the next moment his eyes suddenly stopped at the position of Takashima Tomoyo: "Uncle, has the restaurant's location always been fixed?"

"What's wrong?"

"It turns out that the restaurant is the most suitable place."

Gao Cheng's drowsiness subsided completely, and he looked around intently, and finally his eyes fell on the doll on the counter beside the dining table.

Carefully lifted up the doll's wide skirt, a crossbow gun with a fixed angle appeared in front of Gao Cheng's eyes, and the sharp arrows on the tight crossbow strings were pointing at Takashima Tomoyo's position.

"This, this is?!" Uncle Tianshu looked at the crossbow gun in horror, "Why is it here?"

"It's an institution designed by the prisoners."

Gao Cheng pulled out the sharp arrow and looked at a clock tied to the crossbow gun. The blade was fixed on the short hand of the clock. When the mechanism was triggered at seven o'clock, which was breakfast time, the arrow would kill Yingdao on the seat. Youdai.

This way all mysteries are solved...
