Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 1144: Corpse in the Basement

Hatoyama Ranch, warehouse basement.

Gao Cheng walked to the bed in the corner with a flashlight, and quickly checked the corpse by the light.

The middle-aged man in overalls was very similar to Kaisuke Hatoyama outside.

"He should be Yoshisuke Hatoyama, the owner of the ranch here, my client, and there is a photo of him on the ranch's website." Gao Cheng pondered.

"oh oh."

Kazami Yu also stood behind in embarrassment.

As a member of the Ministry of Public Security, he usually acts extraordinarily arrogant in front of the Criminal Department, but he is not at all arrogant in front of Gao Cheng.

Fortunately, Gao Cheng didn't seem to know how he was trapped here, so he managed to save some face.

"By the way," Gao Cheng asked while examining the corpse, "Why are you locked up in such a place?"

"This... is a long story."

Kazami Yuya looked even more bitter.

The reason why he called Mr. Jiang Gu instead of calling the police was that he was worried that it would be difficult to explain.

"Did Detective Kido find anything? That guy named Kaisuke Hatoyama killed his brother and stole so many bombs..."

"It wasn't homicide," Gao Cheng said after looking at the neck and wrists of the corpse, "he probably hanged himself in this basement... There are strangle marks on the neck but no signs of resistance, and the boots were taken off under the chandelier, I think it should be He hanged himself by the chandelier, then was put down by Hatoyama Kaisuke and carried to the bed."

"Self-suicide?" Kazami Yu was also taken aback. He thought this person was killed by Hatoyama Kaisuke, and he worried for a long time, afraid that he would become a corpse too.

"That's right," Gao Cheng inspected the corpse and pointed his fingers, "There are a lot of bread and mineral water in this basement. If Hatoyama Kaifu wanted to kill you, he wouldn't do it, so he didn't need to silence his brother because he killed him. The reason why you are locked up here should be that there are other things to do, such as revenge."

"Didn't you commit suicide? Why do you want to take revenge?" Fengjian Yu also scratched his hair, wondering if he was locked up in the basement, and his brain couldn't keep up.

"There are motives for suicide."

Gao Cheng silently looked at the traces of highlighter on the corpse's fingers,

There are three kinds of pink, blue and yellow, among which the pink and blue highlighters are inserted in the chest pocket of the tooling, and the yellow highlighter...

It should be the one that was trampled off in the office.

That is to say, the younger brother probably also saw the scene in the office and knew the reason for his brother's suicide, so he stayed in this ranch to avenge his brother, and locked the policeman in the basement so as not to be hindered.

Will the object of vengeance come to the ranch again?

"Ding dong!"

A sound of the doorbell brought Gao Cheng back to his thoughts.

Outside the front gate of the ranch, Toru Amuro and Mr. Kobayashi gathered together, while the other three meteorite hunters were missing.

"Nobody seems to be home."

"The outside door is unlocked..."

"There is nothing at all. I thought I could at least see a cow."

The children were a little disappointed. Seeing this, Mr. Xiaolin hurriedly explained: "I heard that the ranch is mainly converting part of the ranch into a golf course, and there are no staff here anymore."

"Oh?" Rumi Wakasa realized, "Is that why you gave us the chicken for free?"

"That being said, it seems that there are no chickens here."

"The chicken farm is behind."

After the doorbell didn't answer for a long time, the group followed the signs to the chicken shed behind the office, and the sound gradually faded away.

"It's Mr. Furuya!" Kazami Yuya said excitedly, but Gao Cheng held him back when he wanted to go out.

"Can you wait?" Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "I want to confirm something, give me some time."

Back in the warehouse above the basement, Gao Cheng immediately untied Hatoyama Kaisuke.

"Why?" Hatoyama Kaifu looked puzzled.

"The person who caused your brother to commit suicide should be a meteorite hunter?"

Gao Cheng called up the phone page, and quietly looked at Kaisuke Hatoyama.

"You specially forged the clues of the second meteorite on the Internet, found another meteorite video, re-edited the dubbing, and uploaded a fake video to the Internet, because there is a high possibility that there are other meteorites around the place where the real meteorite fell. Those who walk away from your brother's meteorite will be the first to come when they hear the news..."

After a pause, Gao Cheng put away the phone, but Hatoyama Kaisuke said: "You stole a large number of bombs to kill that liar, and you didn't even consider the life and death of other meteorite hunters. Am I right?"

Hatoyama Kaifu remained silent, but secretly tensed his body, and his breathing became a little short.

Unexpectedly, the kung fu in such a short period of time was completely seen through...

"Come out with me," Gao Cheng walked past Hatoyama, "You should also want to know who that liar is, and besides, the other party may not come..."

"My phone!" Hatoyama stretched out his hand but couldn't find the phone, and his expression changed immediately.

"In my place," Gao Cheng opened the door and walked out of the office, "there is a program to control the detonation of the bomb. It is safer to store such dangerous items in my place."

Hatoyama did not keep up with Gaocheng, as if all his strength was taken away from his body, he sat on the floor powerlessly.

"I can understand your mood," Kazami Yuya returned to normal, and said coldly, "After the matter is over, you can surrender yourself, and just pretend that the attack on me never happened."

Hatoyama turned his head away: "The bombs are all on the mountain. I dug a ditch to fake a meteorite fall, and the bombs were tied to the surrounding tree trunks."

Only after dealing with famous detectives can he know the gap between them. It is not as simple as watching the case interview on TV. He really can't think of any chance for him, but at least he must find out who killed his brother. who is the person.

Gao Cheng is right, the other party may not be attracted, and the method of killing all the meteorite hunters with bombs is not perfect.

"Ok?"

Outside the office, Gao Cheng didn't go far, squatted down and picked up a shogi piece from the grass, and waited until Hatoyama chased it out before thinking about putting it away.

There is a crack in the lower left corner of the shogi piece that says "corner line"...

If he guessed correctly, it should be the shogi piece Wakasa Rumi has been carrying with him. It was originally owned by the talented chess player Koji Haneda who was killed 17 years ago. He carried it with him as a talisman. Rumi Wakasa took it away.

This is the last part of the information he learned from the comics, and the follow-up information has not been updated when he travels.

Rumi Wakasa also seems to attach great importance to this chess piece, she should never leave her body...

"Brother Kido?" Ayumi ran after a chicken, and said pleasantly after seeing Gao Cheng, "Help me catch that chicken!"

"chicken?"

Gao Cheng subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed a chicken's neck firmly.

A very fat hen.

"Cluck!" The hen croaked a few times in discomfort, but quickly calmed down because her neck was being grabbed.

The weak point of birds and even many mammals is the back of the neck. If you grasp this position, you will often be at the mercy of others. This is especially obvious in chickens. Just touch the head and neck a few times and it will become a statue. feet back to normal.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Seeing the hen being subdued easily, Ayumi's eyes were full of little stars, "I want to learn too, brother Kido! You don't have to worry about raising chickens in school in the future!"

"..."

Gao Cheng put down the hen silently, but sure enough, the hen didn't move again.

What's the lesson here?
