Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

The latest website: "Letitbe..." Administrator Matsumoto walked into the room, perhaps cheered up by the news of the prisoner appearing again, and took the initiative to say to everyone, "I didn't expect it to appear at this time..."

"Warning!"

"Okay, Sato and Chiba, you guys go to the neighborhood to investigate, Shiratori 'copied' around the death message, and re-investigated Mr. Hirato's circle of friends!"

Manager Matsumoto looked stern, and ordered seriously: "Takagi, go and see the survivors of the three previous victims, and find out if Mr. Hepingdong can be contacted!"

"Yes! Understood!!"

Takagi saluted vigorously and ran out the door. Gao Cheng was stunned when he saw it, and quickly said to the management officer Matsumoto: "Police, can you lend me Officer Sato first?"

"Ok?"

Manager Matsumoto seemed to be a little distracted looking at Takagi's leaving figure, and it took a while to react and look at Gao Cheng: "Does Detective Kido have a clue?"

"I just think there are some places that deserve in-depth investigation. With Officer Sato, who is very familiar with this serial murder case, the investigation is more convenient."

In fact, Gao Cheng wanted to take Takagi away, but this guy ran away as if he was on a stimulant.

"What does Detective Kido think is wrong?" Manager Matsumoto's eyes narrowed slightly, and the scar across his left eye was aggressive.

"Letitbe... Beatles fans think that the lyricist wrote his feelings about not wanting the band to disband into the song," Gao Cheng said calmly, "I've been thinking that the prisoner put this line on his lips Will it have a special meaning, so I checked it out, the murderer in this case is probably not a random murderer, the victim and the prisoner are companions."

Manager Matsumoto's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened slightly.

"20 years ago, Morimura did say that when he was approaching the vehicle for investigation, he heard the other party humming this song, humming while crying..."

"Crying?"

"Yeah, the forest has cared about this song to death. I have been thinking about the special meaning of this song all these years, but the few people who were killed, regardless of their age, occupation or life, have nothing to do with it..."

Matsumoto's gaze towards Gao Cheng finally changed a bit,

As if thinking of something, he continued to say in a deep voice: "I'll leave this case to you, maybe this time it can really solve the case... However, I also hope that you don't let your guard down."

Matsumoto patted Gao Cheng on the shoulder, turned to Sato and the others and said cautiously: "Surimura will get married next month after the accident, in order to make another contribution in front of the woman who is about to become his wife, I didn't wait for us to be killed under the impatience. The suspect's car was knocked down, I don't want this kind of thing to happen to everyone..."

"Yes, probably not?"

Gao Cheng's cheeks twitched slightly. Although it was to remind his subordinates, there is no need to compare this kind of thing, right?

Besides, no one wants to get married, only Sato and Takagi are more suitable.

"Don't worry, Officer Sato, we won't be in any danger if we solve the case quickly." When Gao Cheng followed Sato to the apartment parking lot, he suddenly thought of the energetic Takagi.

Does Police Matsumoto already know about the relationship between the couple?

Although he lost all the memories of the case, Takagi still had a lot of life in his impression. He was a winner in his life many times without any danger, and now that he is here, it is impossible for Takagi to be in danger. It's even more impossible.

With a hint of worry on his face, Sato nodded absent-mindedly when he heard Gao Cheng's words, and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Well, go to the mahjong parlor."

"Okay... eh?!"

Sato stared at Gao Cheng.

Don't say she doesn't play mahjong, now is not the time to play mahjong.

"It's just going to the mahjong hall to investigate," Gao Cheng got into Sato's car and explained helplessly, "People of different ages, occupations and even life circles can only connect with hobbies, which were more reasonable hobbies 20 years ago. , Isn’t mahjong the most likely? And they seem to have spoken mahjong terms.”

"Mahjong terms..."

"I have carefully read the materials of the serial murder case several times? Several victims often go out every Saturday night, and either on the phone or when they come home, they say strange things, 'call me a crybaby, and laugh endlessly' , 'I'm seeing a doctor now! Don't bother me!', 'My parents were knocked out last night, it's terrible', etc..."

Gao Cheng crossed his arms and said, "It sounds like he has no idea, but thinking of what the murdered Mr. Ping Dong said this time, 'the last card', 'only safe cards'... are all mahjong terms.

"Crybaby is the crying card. In mahjong, it is called 'calling cards'. 'See a doctor' is actually 'I'm listening to it now, don't bother me'. Once you listen to it, you can listen to the card with only one card left. It means that the BB machine keeps ringing at this time, of course I will lose my temper on the phone...

"'Parents' should be the 'employee' who can win more mahjong, and 'being knocked into the air' should mean hitting the 'jump full' which can double the number. In fact, it means that the owner has lost a lot of money. Hearing these It was either the victim’s wife who didn’t play mahjong, or the victim’s child, so it’s not surprising that he got it wrong. If we just investigate like this, of course there will be no results, but it’s clear when we look at it together.”

As the car set off, Sato listened to Gao Cheng's analysis, and his whole body became refreshed. The places that he couldn't understand before suddenly became transparent, and his eyes shone brightly.

"If they are really poker friends, that is to say..."

"Yes, you can find clues by looking for the mahjong parlor near their residence 20 years ago." Gao Cheng looked at the bustling street outside the car window, and said in a vague voice, "I just don't know how many years are left. clue."

Sato drove the car with a dignified expression. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

Now Takagi should go to the victim's family for questioning...

"Kiroto," Sato couldn't help but try to ask, "Do you have any thoughts about the prisoner?"

"Well, it shouldn't be the same prisoner."

Gao Cheng looked at the flashing mahjong parlor sign on the side of the road.

Because he played a lot of mahjong with the uncle, he is not unfamiliar with mahjong terminology, and according to the file, the son of the third victim, who was a child at the time, heard the prisoner's last and voice.

The child was hiding next door in fear, and before the prisoner left humming a song, he said, "Don't blame me, who told you to light the cannon..." and "It's all because of what you said, that I listened to the dead card and was punished." The police stared and left such a long wound..."

Even outside the mahjong table, the prisoner likes to talk about mahjong terms, which shows that he is a very fond of playing mahjong.

The same is true of Mr. Pingdong, who used mahjong terms in TV programs. Combined with the death message left by Pingdong, a very bold possibility emerged.

Pingdong is actually a prisoner, that's why he was so arrogant in the interview, and it is precisely because he is a real prisoner that he knows that he was attacked by a copycat.

This speculation is entirely possible...

"Not the same prisoner?" Sato looked at Gao Cheng slightly stiffly, "What do you mean?"

"The English word for copying is copy, which is the word cat for a cat, CopyCat, this is the name for a copycat who imitates other people's modus operandi, Ping Dong temporarily caught the mouse line, the real meaning may be a cat that catches a mouse ...Of course, Pingdong is dead, and I can't prove it, so I have to go to the mahjong parlor to find further clues..."

Gao Cheng tightened his gaze. .

If so, it means that someone solved the case before the police, or someone couldn't stand Pingdong's arrogance, or someone took revenge for what happened back then.

Another possibility is that his reasoning was wrong. Pingdong was not a prisoner, but the prisoner killed Pingdong after 15 years for some reason...
