Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 387: I am the murderer

In Matsue Police Station, Shimane Prefecture, members of the Lianjuhui were gathered in the conference room for investigation. Gao Cheng and Conan walked to the side aisle together, and contacted Tomonaga Toshio who had met with Ushiokai yesterday.

"Yes, I want to ask you something about Mr. Niu Yu... Besides recording stock information in his notebook, did Mr. Niu write anything yesterday?"

"This," Yong Yongshou said in a daze, "Yesterday we talked about haiku, and then I made up a sentence. Mr. Niu was very happy to hear it, so he immediately wrote it down in his notebook. I remember it was, 'One day, Father and daughter can visit the Temple of Flowers together'..."

"Thanks."

Gao Cheng put away his mobile phone, turned to Conan and said, "Let's act separately from now on. I'm in charge of the Teien Art Museum and Tsukishoji Temple, and Shiomi Nawate and the Prefectural Art Museum will be handed over to you."

"it is good."

Tiffany Gardens Art Museum.

After Gao Cheng got off the bus, he immediately arrived at the place where Shiina Ryosuke made the sentence in the morning.

According to Ryosuke Shiina, he saw a piece of work "The Window of the Deer" in the art museum, and was inspired to write the poem "The gods of heaven and earth gather here, just for the Window of the Deer".

But the most important thing is the alibi for Shiina Ryosuke's incident. After all, in terms of time, one morning is enough time to kill and return here...

"This gentleman," the staff member nodded after seeing the photo provided by Gao Cheng, "I still have some impressions, because he stood in front of the fountain in the English garden for a long time, talking to himself as if he was writing a haiku .”

"Do you remember the time?"

"It seems to be around 11 o'clock."

"11 o'clock?"

Gao Cheng walked to the fountain mentioned by the staff, frowned, and noticed that there were three round holes distributed in the soil of the bushes in the flower garden next to them, arranged in a regular triangle, which was very inconspicuous.

The time of the crime was around 10 o'clock. Even though the Teien Art Museum is the farthest from Matsue Castle, there is still enough time to go back and forth. Ryosuke Shiina did not have sufficient alibi.

What is more suspicious is why Ryosuke Shiina deliberately ran outside to this fountain to write poems after watching "The Deer Window". There are also these three strange round holes, which look very much like the traces of a fixed tripod...

Shiomi Nawate,

In the samurai house, the student-like Kawaguchi Mizushiro said that he stayed in the lounge from 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock, and wrote a poem in the lounge "the sun is beautiful and the wind is peaceful, and the maple red is blooming".

Conan hurried into the courtyard and found the only maple tree, but found that there was a tree in the middle of the lounge.

"You can't even see the maple tree from the lounge..."

At Songjiang Police Station, Gao Cheng and Conan met again.

"That means Ms. Kawaguchi is lying?"

"Yes," Conan nodded, "As for the County Museum of Art, no one remembers Teacher Reiko."

"I went to Yuezhao Temple to ask the abbot. At about 11 o'clock today, the abbot saw Mr. Yagisawa thinking about something in front of the stone turtle," Gao Cheng thought, "Mr. Shiina was also seen by the staff at about 11 o'clock... ..."

"What? Are you going to continue to hold the Lianju Conference?" Uncle Maori's exclamation suddenly came from the conference room.

"That's right," Ryosuke Shiina explained, "The police will continue to investigate, and we also want to take this opportunity to pay homage to Mr. Ushiki...Mr. Mori, would you like to take part?"

"Me?" Uncle Mao Li raised his mustache and quickly waved his hands, "I'll forget it..."

"Uncle, why don't you participate," Conan echoed, "Aren't you the number one detective in Japan?"

"Japan, number one in Japan?" The uncle was stabbed in the heart, and when he saw Gao Cheng, he immediately coughed, "This, okay..."

"The Kido detective..."

"I'll forget it, haha," Gao Chengti picked up Conan like a chicken, "Let this kid replace me."

"Ah?" Reiko Ando and others wiped off their sweat, "But..."

"Don't worry," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "this kid is very powerful, he can even fly an airplane."

Conan glared at Gao Cheng with a sulky face: I knew it would happen. Is it really ashamed to use others as a shield...

"Anyway, it's just by the way." Gao Cheng walked to the corner and patted Conan on the shoulder, and whispered, "You also want to catch the murderer at the Lianju meeting, don't you?"

"Okay," Conan said angrily, "remember, you owe me a favor."

"Know it."

Gao Cheng shook his head, suddenly sensed a line of sight behind him, and suddenly turned his head to look at the Lianjuhui people who walked out of the conference room one after another.

"What's wrong?" Conan walked to the side and looked at the group of people, "Do you know who the murderer is?"

"If it's just a guess, I do have a candidate."

Gao Cheng quietly looked at the backs of the Lianjuhui people.

"The method is not clever, but lacks key evidence..."

"Really?" The corner of Conan's mouth rose, "It seems that you and I think the same, and he should be the murderer."

...

Yuzao Baisha Hotel, when Gao Cheng and Songjiang police came over, a red carpet had already been spread on the open space in the middle of the courtyard lawn, and the Lianjuhui people sat around together, and there was a small pool surrounded by stones, which looked quite elegant.

Uncle Mori frowned and listened to Reiko Ando explain the rules of linking sentences. He seemed to have regretted his quick talk...

"This time we adopted the method of connecting sentences with fourteen sentences," Reiko Ando presided over, "Because there are two beginners, in order to make it easier for Mr. Mori and Conan to join, we will proceed in the way of connecting the endings, As long as you follow a few basic rules, the rest is free to play...

"First of all, let's start with the five-seven-five sentence, and then alternately connect the seven-seven and five-seven-five sentences. In the first two sentences, we must pay special attention to the words used at the end. Sentences can be added with different descriptions such as spring, summer, autumn and winter. Among them, there must be one sentence of Wing Moon, two to three sentences for expressing emotions, as for the 13th sentence, it must be for tasting flowers, and the last sentence must use Wing Chun to make a perfect sentence. end."

"Gudong." Uncle Mao Li swallowed dryly, looking totally clueless.

Didn't listen to a word, damn it, why do you have to agree...

The uncle couldn't help looking at Gao Cheng who was talking to the police on the other side, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Still haven't found the murder weapon?" Gao Cheng and the Songjiang criminal police stood by the courtyard together, "What about the witnesses? Didn't anyone in Songjiang City see them?"

"Our police have already questioned them carefully," Songjiang criminal police officer Anlai frowned, "there was no one at the scene of the incident, and the bus driver didn't have any impression of them."

"That's it..."

Gao Cheng turned his head to look at the people in the middle of the courtyard.

The key is to find out why Kawaguchi Mizushiro lied...

"Although everyone's sentences are good," Reiko Ando recorded in the sentence book, "but today is for Mr. Ushiki, and I will use his poem 'Autumn is refreshing, as if my life has no wind and frost' as a sentence... ...Then who will make the threatening sentence?"

Uncle Mao Li was stunned: "What is a threat sentence?"

"That's the meaning of the second sentence. It needs to be in the same season as the chant..."

"Let me do it."

Shiina Ryosuke raised his hand, looked at the poem he had written on the long sticky note and said: "The trees are lush and quiet, and the fallen fruits are clanging... How about this sentence?"

"This sentence does have the effect of connecting the past and the future," Reiko Ando commented and recorded it in the sentence book, "I will invite Yagisawa to pick it up..."

"OK."

Yagizawa picked up the note, thought for a while and began to write: "The third sentence I made is 'the moon is bright and the wind is high, vampires are unscrupulous'..."

"Ah?" Uncle Mao Li said dumbfounded, "Is it okay to write poems like this?"

Reiko Ando smiled and said, "Yeah, the more unexpected the third sentence, the better the effect. Vampires are very ingenious..."

Gao Cheng rolled his eyelids.

Why does it feel like this sentence is very low-level, and with the presence of Uncle Maori, I feel that the grade is so low.

but……

Gao Cheng looked at Conan who seemed to be composing a sentence.

The murderer should have tore out a page of the victim Niu Mi's notebook, and it seems to be because of the poem that Niu Mi intends to use today.

If the murderer is someone like the Lianjuhui, it is very likely to use it. The key is whether Conan can use it in this Lianjuhui.

It's just that I still don't know what Niu Mu's outstretched index finger means. Of course, it can't be referring to the bamboo forest. If it is pointing to the direction of the samurai house where Chuankou Shuicheng is located, it makes sense, and Chuankou Shuicheng just lied.

In addition, the blood-stained fingertips seem to have touched something...

etc.

Gao Cheng looked at the people who answered the sentence again, and his gaze stayed on Ryosuke Shiina.

If it is said that the deceased was not pointing at anything, but simply raised a finger, the possibility is higher. After all, the message of pointing the direction is really thoughtless and not intuitive enough.

Since Mr. Niu is good at connecting sentences, maybe it has something to do with connecting sentences.

With his hands intertwined, Gaocheng walked behind Reiko Ando, ​​who presided over the connecting sentence meeting, and leaned over to look at the sentences answered by everyone.

"How?" Reiko Ando smiled, "Is Detective Kido interested in trying?"

"Uh, next time."

Gao Cheng looked at the few books beside him, and besides an introduction to connecting sentences, there was also a thick book like a dictionary.

"Teacher Reiko, what book is this?"

"Here, this is a noun dictionary, which is specially used when making consecutive sentences..."

"Is it the material used in the sentence?"

Gao Cheng flipped through the dictionary quickly, and suddenly paused when he turned to clothing, shoes and hats, and his eyes stopped on a page that introduced hiking shoes.

Speaking of which, Ryosuke Shiina is also wearing a pair of hiking shoes, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the case...

"Ok?"

Gao Cheng glanced at the consecutive sentences recorded by Reiko Ando again, and all the sentences written by Shiina Ryosuke were clear at a glance, the seventh character of the seventh sentence, the ninth character of the ninth sentence, and the eleventh character of the eleventh sentence...

The combination seems to be full of provocation, directly pointing out "the murderer is me" in the connection.

Gao Cheng closed his eyes, and even the sentences on the sentence book flashed in his mind.

Garden Art Museum, Yuezhao Temple... The scene of the Matsue Castle incident, as well as the speeches of the people at the meeting all gathered together...

There were still not enough clues, and the police were too slow to find anything.

Can't go on like this...

"Detective Kido," Officer Anlai asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

"I still can't find any useful clues..."

Gao Cheng put down the dictionary and turned to the people who looked puzzled.

"Miss Kawaguchi, did you really think about the sentence you prepared in the lounge of the samurai house?"

"Yes, yes." Kawaguchi Mizuki tightened his palms.

"But Conan has been there before." Gao Cheng's eyes darkened, "I can't see the maple tree from the lounge at all, can you please explain?"

"Well, maybe I'm somewhere else..."

"which place?"

"This..."

"I saw it when I went from the bamboo forest in Edo Castle to the Wu family's house, right?" Gao Cheng continued, "If you say you are not the murderer, why are you lying?"

"No, no, I just..."

"Or did you see something? For example, you saw Mr. Yagisawa's murder..."

"No! I didn't see him kill, I just went there..." Chuankou Mizushiro's face changed drastically.

"How about going there?" Gao Cheng looked directly at Mizushiro Chuanguchi who bowed his head and said nothing, as if realizing that he had slipped his mouth, Mizushiro Chuanguchi bit his lip and did not respond anyway.

Officer Anlai frowned and walked to Shuicheng Chuanguchi: "Miss Kawaguchi, if you have anything to say, wait until you arrive at the police station."

"Water City..."

Everyone in Lianjuhui watched Chuankou Shuicheng being taken away with complicated expressions.

"how so?"

"Detective Kido," Ryosuke Shiina worried, "is Miss Shuicheng really the murderer?"

"It's not sure yet," Gao Cheng shook his head, "But if she keeps refusing to explain clearly, the police will have no choice but to decide...then you all finish the sentence meeting first, and I'll go and have a look. "

"Please, Detective Kido, I think Ms. Shuicheng must have some difficulties." Ryosuke Shiina's mouth turned up slightly imperceptibly, and quickly turned into sadness.
