Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 42: The Detective in the Wind

In the hotel aisle, Gao Cheng looked at Conan who was walking in front of him, and felt a surge of pressure in his heart. Instead of continuing to investigate other people's rooms, Gao Cheng returned to the origin of the incident, the room of the deceased Tokio Ehara.

Up to now, he has encountered many cases one after another, and he has become more and more aware of the difference between himself and the famous detective. The only thing he can rely on is his own efforts, and the system's short one-minute famous detective mode.

But the system mode can only be used once in a released case each time, and this Night Duke incident was just involved in it by himself for a free vacation from the very beginning...

Gao Cheng walked past the forensic personnel to the balcony of the room, facing the cold wind and thinking hard.

Think about it again, think about it again, even if you are a reasoning idiot, there will always be only one truth...

Gao Cheng took the small notebook for recording and filtered the clues in his mind again.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Tokio Ehara, dressed as the Duke of Darkness, fell on the bronze statue and died. Among the tour group members, the old Mr. Jincheng and his servant were in the open-air restaurant. Hideko Kamijo was also with Mori Kogoro, said Konno He was using the computer in the room, and Akiko Sayama was watching TV in the room.

Although the remaining Satoshi Maeda said he didn't leave the top floor until after 10 o'clock, but he was the one who was watching the time at that time, and just now he used the identity of the Duke of Darkness to act...

The question now is whether Maeda was the murderer of Jiang Yuan, how to escape from the secret room, and why he deliberately stole the Dark Night Duke's clothes from the morgue...

These are the clues he knows now... I can't figure it out at all.

"No way...is it really over?"

Gao Cheng sat on the balcony with his back leaning against the railing, with the tips of his hair flying in the wind, he sighed softly and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Conan will probably solve all the mysteries of the case soon, but why is he so unwilling?

Thoughts fly with the wind to distant memories, there are days when I silently watched Kudo Shinichi's reasoning in the crowd, and there were also days and nights when I fought for the detective agency left by my grandfather, but everything happened with a TV The live broadcast came to an abrupt end, and the detective's dream came to naught and fell into a pile of wine bottles...

Clutching her heart tightly, two lines of tears flowed down unconsciously, and then dried up in the wind.

The emotion of the original owner...

Outside the room, the forensics staff looked at Gao Cheng by the balcony strangely: "Hey, what's wrong with that boy?"

"I don't know. Police officer Henggou said that he is not inferior to Mori Kogoro's famous detective. Maybe he is investigating a case?"

"He just looks like a high school student, but he's actually a detective..."

"There are so many things you don't know, Kudo Shinichi, you should have heard of it, right? A famous high school student detective!"

Amidst the whistling wind, the voice of the forensic personnel could not be heard clearly, but it still woke Gao Cheng up from the memory of the original owner.

Can't just give up like this...

Gao Cheng stood up with support. He said that he must become a famous detective. This time is just one of the countless cases that he will face in the future.

He hasn't lost yet, if he just gives up like this, he is not qualified to be a detective...

"Huh!" The wind became stronger, and suddenly a strange feeling came to Gao Cheng's mind, as if something was ignored by him, something was very wrong.

"wind?"

"At that time, the wind seemed to be stronger than it is now... Is it so windy here at night?"

Gao Cheng returned to the room full of confusion, froze for a moment, then rushed to the railing and looked down.

At that time, Jiang Yuan fell along the right-angled wall, and the position of the bronze statue was indeed directly below the balcony...

However, if it was pushed down from the balcony, why was it not affected by the wind? Can people really fall straight down in such a strong wind? !

The balcony protruded outwards, and the wind on both sides was particularly strong. He remembered that the wind was much stronger when the crime happened than it is now...

Gao Cheng grabbed the balcony railing with both hands,

As the eyes flickered, the whole world in front of him fell silent, the sound of the wind disappeared, and only all the clues kept emerging around.

From the time of the incident, watching Jiang Yuan fall straight down, to the secret room with the anti-theft lock inside...

Gao Cheng's brain was running rapidly, his thinking ability was improved to the extreme, and he stretched out his hand to flick the clue pictures floating in mid-air.

Clothes and room cards scattered at the door of the secret room... White gloves are stuck on the railing... Jiang Yuan's body was put on by others... and the strong wind...

Gao Cheng closed his eyes slightly, and the three-dimensional structure diagram of the entire Princess Hotel was quickly built, simulating the wind speed, direction and height, and finally showed Jiang Yuan's possible fall trajectory when he was pushed off the balcony.

The landing point did not coincide with the bronze statue directly below, but deviated shortly after leaving the balcony, and finally landed at a distance from the bronze statue...

The crime took place not on the balcony of Gangwon's room!

Gao Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and the layout of Satoshi Maeda's room in Room 1901 flew out of the surrounding pictures, and finally locked on the window below the balcony window.

Only here is the most suitable place, because the right-angled wall is just in the dead corner of the air flow, and the strong wind can't blow it at all, so Jiang Yuan will fall straight on the bronze statue, and look up from below as if falling from the balcony. The gloves between the balcony railings naturally give people the illusion that Jiang Yuan really fell from the balcony.

He hasn't seen other people's rooms yet, but none of them can have the same effect...

The culprit is Maeda Satoshi?

No, if Akiko Sayama had called the counter at 10 o'clock, she must have been in the room at that time...

partnership?

No, the two testimonies conflict...

Gao Cheng looked for it among many clues.

Why did Satoshi Maeda take the risk of stealing the Duke of Darkness clothes after the fact, and just happened to appear outside the elevator on the 19th floor, and was just seen by Conan and the others?

Those who were in the elevator at the time: Conan, Xiaolan... and the one who just finished the interrogation...

Akiko Sayama!

Numerous clues and screens revolve around Gao Cheng, and the reasonable and unreasonable arrangements and reorganizations lead to the truth.

"Wow!" A bright light flashed in Gao Cheng's mind, and all the clues were connected in one line.

"The only thing left is that..."

Gao Cheng looked back at the anti-theft lock on the door that was sawed off, and the moment he vaguely thought about the secret room technique, the surrounding clue space suddenly disappeared, and the whistling wind came back to his ears.

"Just now……"

Gao Cheng came back to his senses, and he was slightly dizzy before realizing that he had solved the case all at once.

That strange feeling is similar to that of the system's one-minute detective, but it seems to be more tired...

Turn on the system light curtain, only to see that the one-minute detective mode is just at the end of the time.

"It's really a minute... what's going on here?"

Gao Cheng rubbed his forehead, which was still dizzy from excessive brain work, and heard that the forensic personnel in the corridor seemed to have found some clues in doubt. "This looks like a broken piece of a security latch."

"Is it room 2101? Strange, there seems to be something in the front part..."

"Don't worry about it, anyway, just take it back for testing."

"Can you show me?" Gao Cheng panted softly, leaning on the wall and walking to the aisle.

He seems to have consumed too much and has hypoglycemia. He must add sugar when he goes back...

"Are you okay?" The policeman looked at Gao Cheng worriedly, and still handed the broken door bolt to Gao Cheng.

"It's Scotch tape...I see."

Gao Cheng took a closer look, and a clear smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I know everything!"
