Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

? In the Shimashiro family, in an old mansion, Gao Cheng and his party sat in the guest room, and it began to rain heavily outside.

"Looking at it like this, the police probably won't be able to come tomorrow..."

Gao Cheng stood at the door looking at the dark night under the rain curtain, and then looked towards the end of the corridor: "And that old lady, why didn't she come after waiting for so long..."

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Miss Junhui said just now that she would try to call her great-grandmother, but the old lady is already very tired from today's ceremony, so she may not be able to call us."

"Ah?" Gao Cheng closed the door and sat down at the stove table, "Do you know how those number plates were selected?"

"Well, I heard people on the island say that it seems that a lot of number plates are put in a big box, and everyone queues up to draw, one for each person," Xiaolan replied, "One hundred and eight number plates, all drawn up, and then the old woman will pick three of those numbers at the festival."

"Three for one hundred and eight..." Gao Cheng propped up his chin, and suddenly heard a sound of thumping on the floor in the corridor outside.

"Ok?"

"Did you guys have something to do with me?" The wooden door opened, and an old woman with a wrinkled face and a cane appeared in front of everyone, her voice was hoarse and her face was pale, she looked like a mountain demon mother-in-law.

Conan was taken aback, swallowed and asked, "Please, may I ask... old woman, how do you decide the number that gets the Dugong's arrow?"

Changshou Po stared at the people in the room for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "It depends on the situation, sometimes I will use the numbers drawn by horse races, haha."

"In this case," Hattori said with a dry smile, "Why don't you only give away three copies a year and not sell more?"

"That's impossible," Changshou Po pinched a white hair and regretted, "The hair I can use to tie those arrows is already very limited..."

"Great-grandmother!" Shimashiro Junhui shouted from the other side, "I've put away the bath water for you!"

Changshou Po heard the shout and walked away, "Sorry, if you don't have anything important, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed..."

Conan said anxiously: "But I still have something to ask..."

"Also," Changshou Po paused and looked at He Ye in the room.

"That little girl with tied hair over there, the dugong arrow was originally an arrow that exorcises evil spirits. If you let it leave your side, monsters will build a nest on your body. If it is a man, it will be buried in the ground and become a heartless hungry ghost. , if it is a woman, it will enter the water and become a mermaid who cannot speak!

"I advise you to keep it with you all the time."

"Really, I didn't ask too many things in the end..." Gao Cheng came to the door, watched the muttering Changshou Po leave, and was suddenly stunned.

"what?"

"What's wrong?" Conan asked strangely, "Brother Kido, is there a problem?"

"Ah, no."

Gao Cheng withdrew his gaze, paused, and said to the anxious He Ye: "That longevity lady doesn't see anything special at all, don't worry about monsters or anything."

"But," He Ye clutched the dugong's arrow tightly, "Didn't Miss Saori disappear because she lost the arrow? Maybe she's turned into a mermaid..."

"Please," Hattori said unhappily, "That old woman doesn't seem to be able to live long. Do you really believe mermaid revenge?"

The next day, the weather was still not getting better, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder was rumbling.

Gao Cheng borrowed an umbrella, asked the villagers for the location, and rushed to Kadowaki's house with Haibara, but there was no response after ringing the doorbell several times.

"Strange, isn't that uncle at home?"

"What should we do now?" Huiyuan said calmly with his hands behind his back, "Go back?"

"How could it be possible to go back now? It just so happened that the uncle wasn't here..."

Gao Cheng looked left and right, and his eyes fell on several potted plants placed at the door.

"Generally, this kind of family may hide a spare key somewhere outside... Yes."

He picked up several potted plants one after another, and there was indeed a key under the potted plant on the side.

Gao Cheng grinned and said, "Look."

Hui Yuan's face collapsed: "You don't want to invade illegally, do you?"

"Just take a look, it's okay..."

"Hello!" Rokuro Fukuyama passed the door, saw Gao Cheng open the door with a key, and shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Ah?" Gao Cheng froze, turned around with a dry smile, scratched the back of his head and said, "It's Mr. Lulang, haha, we originally wanted to find Mr. Kadowaki, but he doesn't seem to be at home..."

Fukuyama Rokuro said coldly: "If you want to find him, he went to the izakaya to drink last night and didn't come back all night."

"Yes, is it?" Gao Cheng took the key, and either left or stayed, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Well, it's really nothing, we just want to investigate Miss Saori's room, maybe we can find the clue to this case. clue……"

Fukuyama Rokuro took a close look at Gao Cheng, and took the lead into the door Waki's house, saying: "If you just investigate Saori's room, hurry up, you will be in trouble when his drunk father comes back."

"That," Gao Cheng was stunned, followed the young man and said, "Is there anything unusual before Miss Sazhi disappeared?"

Fukuyama Rokuro calmly said: "Even the slightly stronger wind and waves at sea frightened her to death, saying that the mermaid would seek her revenge... well, this is Saori's room."

"Thanks."

Gao Cheng took a quick glance at the room, bookcases, lockers, tables, beds, floor-to-ceiling windows... It looked clear at a glance, clean and tidy without any clutter, but apart from some puppet decorations, it couldn't be seen that it was a girl's room, because it was quite middle-aged. sex, and even a cult fighting game poster.

Gao Cheng went straight to the bed and opened the luggage bag on the bedside.

"Headache medicine, toothbrush...Miss Saori seems to have prepared a lot..."

"That is the standard equipment when Saori runs away from home." Fukuyama Rokuro explained.

"These things are left here," Gao Cheng flipped through the luggage, his eyes tightened slightly, "that is to say, Miss Saori didn't go somewhere, but something happened..."

"It's hard to say," Fukuyama Rokuro hesitated, "Because she almost always goes to Jun Hui's house every time she runs away from home, so Jun Hui's house seems to have things like changing clothes and even a backup pair of glasses."

"But there's no one at Miss Jun Hui's house, is there?"

Gao Cheng poured out everything in the bag.

"Besides, even if you go to the main island, you don't even bring a document with you? Deposit books, ATM cards, seals, driver's licenses... Even passports are put in bags... Do ordinary people leave these behind when they leave home? ?

"Perhaps, something unexpected happened to her before she was about to run away from home..."

"An unexpected thing?" Fukuyama Rokuro's lips were dry.

"It's the worst case scenario."

Gao Cheng put down his ID in a low voice, continued to check in the room, and found a photo album from the cabinet.

Judging from the photos, most of them are group photos of five young people, and Saori Kadowaki seems to be a short-haired girl with glasses and dyed brown hair.

Fukuyama Rokuro said with some nostalgia: "These photos were taken when we filmed the movie "Bhikkhuni Story" when we were in college. At that time, we won the gold award for Saori's special photography and Junhui's special makeup..."

"Is it……"

Gao Cheng slammed the album shut, with a thoughtful look on his face.
