Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 240: The Will-o'-the-wisp and the Third Victim

Back at the annex, Sonoko was still thinking about the old man, and said to himself, "Kiroto, Yuki Yasha is really that old man's daughter, right? Rie Kanar who killed someone because of hatred."

"Idiot, will Yuki Yasha hack the hidden camera?"

Gao Cheng walked to the landline in the living room, picked up the phone and called Dr. Ali: "Hello, doctor?"

"It's Kido," Dr. A Li happened to be chatting in front of the computer, and subconsciously said when he received the call, "Xiao Ai's words are still in the laboratory..."

"I have something to do with you."

"Didn't you, big detective, go to work in Hokkaido? What do you want me to do?"

"Doctor, don't you watch TV news? An incident happened here. A well-known actress was killed. There are many reports," Gao Cheng said helplessly. The bus crash accident, it is best to give me another copy of the ice room, just fax it over."

"It seems that you have encountered a big case again." Dr. A Li opened the news report on the computer, "I will enter the newspaper website to help you check."

"Thanks, Doctor."

Gao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and after finishing the call with Dr. Ali, he went into the equipment room to check the video again.

He is afraid of being serious and careful in everything. His reasoning ability is indeed not as good as that of Shi Jin, but reasoning is not the whole of the investigation, and sometimes it is more important to dig out detailed clues.

No matter how strong the reasoning ability is, it is useless if there is insufficient information. It will only be clever and misunderstood by cleverness, and finally fall into the murderer's trap and even wrong innocent people.

At noon, when it was time for dinner, everyone began to gather in the restaurant for dinner.

Gao Cheng didn't have much appetite, he still threw himself in front of the monitor, watching the video over and over again.

Truth looked at Gao Cheng who was serious, and said with a helpless smile: "Detective Chenghu, you have to watch it a few times before you are reconciled, no matter what, you still have to eat?"

Gao Cheng rubbed his slightly sour eyes: "I'll eat it later."

"No way, I'll ask Jiang Chuan to leave a copy for you."

"sorry to bother you."

"Detective Chenghu!" Before the truth left, Ling Xiang appeared at the door with a plate in her hand.

"Hey, eat a little bit, Detective Kido."

"Thank you." Gao Cheng stood up stiffly, staring blankly at Lingxiang carrying coffee and snacks on the table next to him, "That..."

"Thank you for speaking for me today." Lingxiang gently handed the coffee to Gao Cheng.

"It should be, those people are wrong." Gao Cheng coughed dryly, turned back and continued to check the video.

Lingxiang sat next to her, paused and asked curiously: "Detective Chenghu should have encountered many cases, right? What was it like before?"

"All kinds of things, some are hateful, some are pathetic..."

"Shiroto, it's time to eat..." Sonoko hurried to the living room, suddenly stopped, and swallowed the words, "Shiroto..."

"stupid stupid stupid!"

"What's wrong?" Gao Cheng looked at Yuanzi and ran away angrily.

It's really changed. In this world, Yuanzi is becoming less and less like Yuanzi...

Sighing and shaking his head, he returned his attention to the surveillance video.

The self-portrait of Himuro Issei should have been taken by Yuki Yasha, but the meaning is not clear, I don't know why the murderer came here...

"Ok?"

Suddenly something jumped in the screen and caught Gao Cheng's attention.

Play back, slow down, pause.

The picture is fixed in Kanalie's room. Compared with the eye-catching corpse of Kanalie lying in a pool of blood, there is a fire light beating outside the window in the corner of the picture, which is very inconspicuous, but it is almost hard to detect if you don't pay special attention.

"Woman's fire?"

Gao Cheng looked closely at the small window on the screen. There was indeed a burning flame in the darkness, which soon reminded him of the will-o'-the-wisp that the old man said.

Hastily spread out the map of Ice Village.

The old man saw the direction of the will-o'-the-wisp at home, and the direction of the flames in Rie Kano's room...

"I see."

Gao Cheng carefully connected the lines on the simple map. The intersection of the two lines was not on the side of the memorial monument at the bridgehead.

It is a narrow river location that is far apart.

The old villager saw the fire in the same direction as the comfort monument, so he had preconceived ideas and mistakenly thought that the ghost fire was on the comfort monument.

However, the real location is near the villa...

Gao Cheng looked at the intersection of the connecting lines and couldn't wait to go to see it.

Lingxiang answered the phone nearby and stopped Gao Chengdao: "Detective Chenghu, an old man is looking for you."

"Old man?" Gao Cheng was stunned, and quickly took the microphone, "Hello, is this a doctor?"

"Kito, I have already found out what you asked me to do," Dr. Ari said solemnly, "You must have never thought that the two people who were killed happened to be related to that bus incident, and they were both the people who saved Himuro Kazusho !"

"anything else?"

"Except for Kazusei Himuro who survived that accident, there seems to be a child alive... Anyway, let me fax you the information first."

"I'm sorry, Doctor."

Gao Cheng looked at the slowly printed fax paper in a deep voice.

In the accident report ten years ago, several TV employees rescued the talented painter Himuro Kazusho, and were even awarded a certificate of appreciation for it.

The names of Rie Kano, photographer Akashi, and director Hiruta were all clearly published in the newspaper, but the surviving child was not mentioned much.

"Kirodo!" Nanase came over and shouted, "Have you seen Director Hiruta?"

"No," Gao Cheng said in a daze, "what's the matter?"

"I wanted to ask him to eat, but I couldn't find anyone anywhere..." Nanase was wearing an apron with a distressed expression on her face.

"Will you rest in your room?"

"I called, but there was no response." Nanase looked outside with a headache, "Did he go out? The director really..."

Gao Cheng tugged at the fax, and looked at the photo of Director Biruta standing with Garner and Akashi, his expression changed slightly.

"Quick! Go to the room and have a look!"

"Eh?"

"This is..." On the second floor of the annex, director Hiruta's room, everyone in the villa stood at the door in a depressed atmosphere.

In the room, Director Hiruta was lying on the table covered in blood, a large number of blood-stained banknotes were scattered under his body, and a sharp ax of Yuki Yasha was pressed on the ground.

"Even the director was killed..."

Takata and the others looked at each other in fear, full of distrust.

Because it was daytime and they were all in the annex, they never expected that there would be a murder case, and few people had alibis, so everyone had a chance to kill the director.

After checking the corpse with a sullen face, Ezosong turned to the crowd and said, "Until the investigation is clear, everyone should stay in the living room. It's too dangerous to be alone."

"But isn't the ax thrown here?" Damen swallowed his saliva and said with a dry smile, "Should Yuki Yasha stop killing people?"

"This..." Ezomatsu frowned, "In short, everyone can't move around at will. Now let's investigate the alibi of everyone when Director Hiruta was killed. First, Detective Kido, who first discovered the body, seven Sejiro and Miss Reika..."
