Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 165: Magic Killing II

The firewood house outside the bathroom is not far from the woods. There is a simple canopy with wood inside and a door leading to the bathroom.

"There doesn't seem to be any snow on the awning..."

"Of course, it melts when you boil the water."

Conan was obviously also interested in the alibi, and before Gao Cheng could open his mouth, he asked curiously, pointing to the window on the awning and asking, "Where is that window?"

"The window at the end of the corridor on the second floor..."

"So," Gao Cheng stood beside the woodshed and looked at it, "Even if Ms. Tanaka is here, she can still climb up to the second floor through the awning."

"I'm not the only one who can climb," Tanaka Takahisa said, looking at the others, "I went to the bathroom a few times to see how the water was draining. Anyone can go up when I'm not around. Besides, Hamano was in 3 When I was in the building, I kept boiling water, and it took about eight minutes to receive and boil the water, and I didn’t have time to do other things at all..."

"What if the water is boiled right from the start?" Gao Cheng interrupted suddenly.

"What?" Takahisa Tanaka was stunned.

"Boy, are you suspicious of Miss Tanaka?" Uncle Mao Li pulled Gao Cheng over with a dark face, "Miss Tanaka is so beautiful, how could she be a murderer?"

"..."

Gao Cheng's mouth twitched.

Uncle, you made me more sure.

"Anyway, let's go back to the living room and wait now," Gao Cheng said to the crowd, and then whispered to Uncle Mao Li, "Uncle, there may be fingerprints of the murderer on that crossbow, don't let others touch it, and, don't Let them act alone, even if it's going to the toilet..."

Uncle Mao Li's face became even worse: "I don't need you to tell me, but I think the murderer is an outsider. You are working for nothing, why don't you think about how to get out of this ghost place."

"understood."

Gao Cheng grinned, and asked Hui Yuan to monitor everyone.

He wasn't worried at all about how to leave. The normal way down the mountain was indeed the only way down the suspension bridge, but of course there couldn't be only one way up the mountain, it's just that it was too dangerous to walk at other nights.

The question now is the truth of the incident.

He has basically confirmed the murderer, and there is evidence, but there are still too many things that are unclear.

It would be irresponsible to jump to conclusions without solving the remaining puzzles.

"Kiroto," Conan followed Gao Cheng, "do you already know who the murderer is?"

"It's roughly confirmed, but there are still a few tricks that I don't understand. How did she let the arrow shoot into the house from the outside... and the mystery of Hamano's death..."

Gao Cheng walked out of the broken window in the bathroom.

When encountering a case in such a deep mountain in the cold weather, there is really no place to reason, but he is used to it after being a detective for so long. Conan is really good at it. Conan did not stop solving cases when he was away. , The frequency of encountering incidents is much more than him. A few days ago, Kamen Rider killed people and Vampire Villa killed people.

How did the guy from the persuasion department get more than 1,000 cases? It's been too long, I really can't remember the situation of that guy, I only know that he doesn't seem to have the physique of a god of death...

"This is Ms. Tanaka's room above," Conan reminded, "Ms. Tanaka ran to the balcony immediately after being attacked, and then there was the sound of glass breaking downstairs..."

Gao Cheng asked: "Do you think Ms. Tanaka is the kind of person who doesn't know what to do? Someone is shooting arrows outside, but she ran to the balcony, and finally rushed to the woods where there might be a murderer."

"It's really strange," Conan pondered. "You mean, she did all those actions on purpose?"

"The reason she ran into the woods was to lose that crossbow..."

Gao Cheng breathed hot air into his hands, paused, turned around and walked into the bathroom from the firewood room. The broken glass was still intact, and there were still arrows stuck in the bathroom mirror.

Now I know that Takahisa Tanaka used a certain method. The key is how to shoot arrows from upstairs to the bathroom. The window is facing the woods, and the location of the arrow should be in the woods...

Take out the small book to check the clues of the whole case,

Gao Cheng re-filtered all the clues in his mind.

When Hamano's body was found, he noticed the tiny strangle marks on the handrail of the 302 balcony, which seemed to be worn out by thin lines such as kite strings. The murderer had obviously done experiments beforehand.

Then there is the woods near the firewood house in the backyard, the tree trunk with a round hole. According to Tanaka Takahisa's suspicious behavior, there may have been an arrow inserted there.

Why is there an arrow on the tree, and why is Tanaka in such a hurry to pull it out...

Gao Cheng pressed his fingers between his eyebrows, and gradually entered the thinking mode as a large number of dizzying clues gathered.

If you want to get Hamano's body to the center of the snow in the backyard without leaving any traces, hang gliding is undoubtedly the most convenient way, and there seems to be a thief who likes to play hang gliding.

He didn't have the opportunity to pull the fat man's face to identify his identity, and the other party's superb disguise was flawless, it was almost like a transformation, but he had the feeling that the other party was Kidd.

And now that I think about it, the Japanese spelling of the name "Take Tree Doi" has been reorganized to become "Kaitou Kidd".

Fatty should be that guy, that’s right, the problem is that it’s unlikely that Kidd committed the crime, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many lies...

A virtual hologram of the entire backyard of the villa was instantly formed in front of Gao Cheng's eyes, including the balcony of Room 302 of the villa, the corpse in the middle of the snow, and the tree trunk with holes diagonally opposite.

Combined with the traces on the balcony railings, a feasible plan was quickly simulated, and the rest is whether it can really be successful.

Because of the relationship between drawing a physical card, the impact on physical factors during simulation is also clearer, theoretically there is no problem...

Gao Cheng turned his gaze to the glass slag on the bathroom floor.

The holographic image is switched, and all the fragments are returned to the window to reassemble and deduce, roughly simulating the situation when it was broken.

From the perspective of thinking space, it is as if time has gone back in time, even the trajectory of the arrow hitting the mirror is clearly displayed.

He didn't know the effect of the arrow shooting through the window, but it was obvious from the on-site simulation that the glass was definitely not pierced by the arrow, but probably smashed by some heavy object such as a stone.

At the end of a minute, Gao Cheng woke up in a daze.

This time seems to be a little different from before, the simulation ability seems to be clearer because of a physical card...

"Hmm!" Before recollecting the process, a strong sense of dizziness welled up from the depths of his mind, his eyes were darkened, and he was able to rely on Lake Toya to support his body.

Oops, I forgot to prepare chocolate this time...

"What's wrong with you, Kido?" Conan walked into the bathroom, looked at the trembling Gao Cheng and said in surprise, "Your face is so ugly, and you're sweating... Could it be that your blood sugar is too low?!"

Gao Cheng could barely hold Lake Toya with his fingers, and shook his head, "It's nothing, help me get a cup of sugar water."

"Wait a minute! I'll be right back!"

Conan's face was serious, he didn't care to talk more and ran out of the bathroom.

"Sister Xiaolan! Hurry up, Granose! Hurry up!"

"Don't make it look like I'm dying." Gao Cheng smiled wryly, and slowly walked towards the living room while leaning on the wall.

Every time you enter the one-minute mode in daily cases, your blood sugar will drop, and you will probably never get diabetes in your life.

"Here." The figure of Huiyuan appeared at the side of the aisle, and passed Gao Cheng a piece of chocolate in a flat manner.

"what?"

"I just took it with you because you forgot it on the table."

Huiyuan turned around, took two steps and turned back to look at Gao Cheng.

"How? Have you solved the puzzle?"

"Almost." Gao Cheng ate the chocolate, and his complexion improved a little. "The murderer has been completely identified, but the method still needs to be verified."

"Isn't that good?" Huiyuan had a meaningful smile on his face, "Didn't you come all the way here because you were worried about someone? Then there shouldn't be any problem."

"Me?" Gao Cheng pointed to himself, "What am I worried about?"

...

In the living room of the villa, after Xu Kama poured a cup of sugar water from the kitchen, he was called to the woods in the backyard by Gao Cheng together with everyone else.

Seeing Toshiya Hamano's body still lying in the snow, everyone felt even colder.

"Mr. Hamano is so pitiful, he was thrown in the snow like this..." Sonoko said, crossing his arms.

"Hey, let me say," Tanaka Takahisa frowned and shouted at Gao Cheng, "What are you calling us here for? Are you still suspicious of us?"

Gao Cheng stopped: "You will know soon, now I want to invite everyone to watch a magic trick."

"Magic? What are you talking about? You still have the mood to perform magic at this time..."

"Uncle," Gao Cheng ignored everyone, and just said to Uncle Mori and Doi Takaki, "Now, please take your crossbow and go to Mr. Hamano's room on the third floor with Mr. Doita?"

"Ah I?"

Uncle Mao Li was at a loss, but still involuntarily returned to the villa according to Gao Cheng's instructions. He didn't react until he stood on the balcony on the third floor: "Damn it, why should I listen to that kid?!"

"Uncle, are you ready?" Gao Cheng shouted from below.

"Okay," Uncle Mao Li put away his complaints and replied depressedly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Then you just follow Conan's instructions!"

"Conan?"

"I've prepared everything according to Kido's brother's instructions, hehe." Conan walked to the balcony, laying out several rolls of long rope and two arrows with circles tied at the end.

"What is this?" The uncle was quite dissatisfied with Conan's going to help Gao Cheng.

"Of course it is a necessary tool for this magic." Seeing that Conan was getting ready, Gao Cheng continued to shout, "Uncle, can you please hand over the crossbow to Dojing Tower now?"

"Me?" Dojingta was stunned for a moment, and took the crossbow from the uncle with a complicated expression.

After a while, two arrows shot from the balcony to the tree trunks on both sides of the backyard. The thin rope formed the shape of a triangle sail on both sides above the snow, and then a bundle of quilts about the size of the corpse slid out along the thin rope in the middle. The balcony slid straight down to where Hamano's body was.

Without waiting for Conan's reminder, Doi Tower continued to take an arrow and scissors, tied the rope in the middle to the arrow, raised his hand and shot the arrow into the distant air while cutting off the other ropes, and all the strings disappeared with the arrow In the depths of the forest, only the bundle of quilts and the tampered arrows on the tree trunks on both sides remained in the backyard.

"This……"

Huang Yize and others saw this magical technique with their own eyes, and were too shocked to speak, and Takahisa Tanaka couldn't help trembling slightly.

"Even if this technique is successful, so what?" Takahisa Tanaka gritted his teeth, "These arrows are still on the tree..."

"So you burned the suspension bridge, not to trap us, but to recover the arrows before the police arrived," Gao Cheng faced Takahisa Tanaka, "Am I right, Miss Tanaka?"

Tanaka Takahisa's eyes shrank suddenly, and he said with a dry smile: "Please, you also know that I was attacked by a murderer, right? How could I shoot an arrow at myself from outside the villa..."

"If you want to do it, you can do it," Gao Cheng interrupted, "Because the arrow was not shot from outside the villa at all, the crossbow was in your hand at that time, right?"

"What, what?"

"I asked Conan. At that time, they were all waiting at the door, and you were the only one looking for a pair with your back to the door. I think you must have designed some mechanism on the balcony to break the glass, and at the same time, you turned your back An arrow was shot at the wall, and in that case, of course, everyone would have guessed that the arrow was shot from outside."

Gao Cheng paused, and continued: "Plus you ran to the balcony at the time, and no one would suspect you in a hurry. As for the broken window in the bathroom downstairs, it must have used a similar mechanism, right? At least that window was definitely not shot through."

"But," Yuanzi wondered, "the bathroom mirror was also shot by an arrow!"

"Miss Tanaka ejaculated in the bathroom in advance, because no one will go to the bathroom until the water is boiled, so I am not afraid of being discovered in advance. Miss Tanaka has planned everything, including being arranged to boil the water, including Bin Mr. Ye went back to his room to conceive the sideshow."

"What are you talking about?" Tanaka Takahisa smiled, "I happened to be arranged to boil water, or Sonoko chose me, right?"

Sonoko nodded repeatedly, and looked closely at Gao Chengdao: "Yes, Kido, it must be a coincidence that Ms. Tanaka went to boil the water, right? Besides, it was Mr. Hamano's magic..."

"What if Ms. Tanaka is a hidden pile?" Gao Cheng said in a deep voice, "It was actually Ms. Tanaka who planned the magic. She marked the back of the note in the living room in advance, because you were blindfolded, Sonoko, so there is no I didn’t know that she changed a pen that couldn’t write on the way.”

"Could it be that time..."

"Yes, Hamano stood aside from the beginning to the end and did not move, because the person who actually performed this magic trick was Ms. Tanaka. I think you told him about the work assignment when you discussed with Hamano, right? But Yuxing The person in charge of the program was not Doi Tower at all, so he felt strange at that time."

"How come?" Sonoko turned to Takahisa Tanaka in disbelief, "Miss Tanaka..."

Gao Cheng looked at Tanaka standing silently in the snow: "By the time you left the living room and went to the firewood room, the water had already been boiled. Knowing that Hamano will be in charge of the sideshow in the end, you immediately climbed up to the second floor. Sneak into 302 and wait for Hamano to kill him...Miss Tanaka, after dawn tomorrow, come down the mountain with us and turn yourself in to the police."

"Where's the evidence?" Takahisa Tanaka trembled, clutching his fingers and said, "No matter what, there must be evidence, right?"

Gao Cheng looked at Takahisa Tanaka silently for a while, then shook his head: "Miss Tanaka, it's useless. If you really follow your plan and wait for the police to arrive, you can indeed clear up all the evidence, but in reality there is no if, after all, it's just A bloody failed trick, isn't it, Mr. Doito?"

Gao Cheng turned around and looked up at balcony 302 on the third floor.

"When did you find out?" Kidd had already removed his disguise on the balcony, and his white cloak kept fluttering in the cold wind. While Conan secretly turned on the anesthesia watch, Uncle Maori's eyes widened in bewilderment.

"Monster, Kaito Kidd?" Xiaolan tugged at Yuanzi in a daze, "Yuanzi, Dojing Tower is your Prince Charming!"

"Ah." Yuanzi stood blankly, looking at Kidd and Gao Cheng.

"The hiragana recombination of the name 'Doi Takaki' is 'Phantom Thief Kid'. Just think about it," Gao Cheng looked directly at Kidd in a white dress, "However, I didn't expect that the famous Kaitou Kid would De will come here to participate in the gathering of magic lovers."

"Isn't it the same for you, a famous detective? You obviously don't know much about magic, so you came all the way," Kidd said with a light smile, "And the reason why I came here is to wonder how the deceitful boy who should have died long ago can still Keep communicating."
