Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 23 Snowy Night

Mihuacho 2-chome, Kudo Shin's family is undoubtedly a luxury house compared with Gaocheng's current dwelling.

It has been snowing for a long time in the night, and the snowflakes are falling with the howling wind, like a snow country, bringing a touch of late Christmas atmosphere to the street.

Under the street lamp in front of Kudo's mansion, Mao Lilan wrapped her thin clothes tightly around her body, and then pulled the scarf around her neck. With a flushed face, she continued to breathe hot air to warm her hands.

In an alley next to the mansion, Dr. A Li looked helplessly at Gao Cheng and the two: "She doesn't know what's wrong, she's been waiting for you since you arrived here, and I don't know what to do."

After glancing at Gao Cheng alone, Dr. A Li whispered to Conan's ear again: "Is it okay to tell him the real identity like this?"

"No way, he already knew about it before," Conan shook his head under the doctor's surprised gaze, "Kirodo's reasoning ability is very strong, and he may have tracked and investigated me on purpose, and I didn't tell him my identity when I tried to tell him." A little bit of doubt..."

At the end of the murder case of Kimura Tatsuya, feeling the invisible pressure brought by Gao Cheng, he finally confessed his identity and cooperated with Gao Cheng to find the murderer.

Then, after the incident at the police station was over, he originally planned to let Gao Cheng and the doctor meet, but unexpectedly, he happened to see Mao Lilan waiting at the door of his house.

It hurts so much to be alone...

"Maybe she thought of you," Gao Cheng sighed softly, "What are you going to do now? Call her again?"

"Kiroto," Conan suddenly looked at Gao Cheng seriously, "Can you do me a favor?"

"what?"

...

A snowflake fell on Mao Lilan's face. She regained her senses and glanced at Kudo's mansion behind her. She was about to leave when the lights in the house suddenly turned on.

"Xinyi?"

When he was at the police station, Gao Cheng cooperated with Conan to solve the puzzles. His reasoning was very similar to Kudo Shinichi. Mao Lilan couldn't help but left the police station early, and arrived at the police station before he knew it. In front of this house.

"Is it Xin, Xinyi?" Mao Lilan hurried into the hall, "Are you at home? Xinyi! Answer me quickly, please..."

"Crack!" As Mao Lilan shouted, the lights suddenly went out again, and the surroundings became pitch black.

"Power outage? Shinichi..."

Mao Lilan shouted in the house with a trembling voice. Just as he was in a hurry, a slender figure appeared beside the stairs on the second floor. It couldn't be seen clearly in the dark, but it still felt familiar.

"Xinyi?" Mao Lilan was afraid that she was dreaming, so she said anxiously, "Is it you? Xinyi..."

"It's me," Kudo Shin said, "I'm finally back here, Xiaolan..."

"Xin, Xinyi..." Mao Lilan had tears in her eyes and her voice choked up.

"Fool, why are you crying?" Gao Cheng put on Kudo Shinichi's appearance, and Conan hid behind him, laughing with a bowknot voice changer, "You really want to see me so much?"

"Who? Who wants to see you bastard!" Mao Lilan wiped her tears, "It's not because you haven't seen anyone..."

"Xiaolan, to be honest, I'm really glad to see you..." Kudo Shinichi said sincerely, and before Mao Lilan went upstairs, he thought of it again, "ah, I have to go, I have something The case has not been sorted out yet...see you later, Xiaolan."

"Wait...Xinyi!" Mao Lilan saw the figure leaving on the second floor, and hurried up the stairs, but the lights in the room turned on again.

Kudo Shinichi left, leaving only a beautiful paper bag with a note on it at the stairs.

"This is a Christmas present for you, I hope you like it! New one here."

Behind Kudo's mansion, Gao Cheng hugged Conan and jumped off the wall, curiously asked: "What did you give?"

"It's nothing," Conan said with a faint smile on his face,

"Not a big deal."

Gao Cheng didn't continue to ask, but just looked back at the room in Yexue: "I thought I should at least give him a hug."

"Idiot, wouldn't that be revealing?" Conantong stared with red neck: You really think of yourself as me? !

...

In the howling cold wind, Gao Cheng walked alone in the snow with the help of street lights, and snow got into his neck from time to time.

It's just that Gao Cheng didn't seem to care about it at this time, and his thoughts completely returned to today's incident.

The way the murderer poisoned was unexpected. Instead of applying the poison on the microphone, he applied the poison on the inside elbow of Tatsuya Kimura's coat beforehand. As long as Kimura put on the coat, the shirt inside would also be stained with poison.

Then he specially ordered the famous song for Kimura, using Kimura's habitual stage movements when singing that famous song, that is, throwing off his jacket and singing with his elbows before singing, he successfully stained Kimura Tatsuya's right hand with cyanic acid potassium.

After the incident, the murderer unknowingly replaced Kimura's coat to prevent the police from detecting potassium cyanate on the coat. In this way, the police's investigation was completely confused and gradually led in the direction of suicide.

However, this method was eventually seen through by Conan, and the suspicion was locked on several members of the Rex band who had the same coat as Tatsuya.

The evidence is a lighter still in Tatsuya Kimura's coat pocket.

After Gao Cheng cooperated with the three suspects to take off their jackets for inspection, he found a lighter in the jacket worn by the agent, and also found a potassium cyanate reaction on the inner side of the inspection.

Leaving aside the fact that the agent is the murderer, what Gao Cheng cares about is that Conan even noticed such a small detail as the lighter, and even regarded it as a key clue.

Amidst the flying snowflakes, the system light curtain popped up again, showing the newly added 100 prestige. Compared with the 100 prestige, the media attention received for solving the celebrity poisoning incident was undoubtedly the biggest gain.

However, this time basically relying on Conan's reasoning...

Gao Cheng looked at the exchange options following the reputation, paused for a while, and put away the light curtain.

"Forget it, let it be like this, Kudo Shinichi, one day I will definitely become a real detective."

Gao Cheng tightened his clothes, went back to Kido Detective Office alone, turned on the light, and sat curled up on the sofa, feeling a little warmer at last.

Feeling a little deserted, I turned on the TV again, but in the end there were only some boring late-night programs.

Since the two girls from the coffee shop downstairs left, not only did they have no hot coffee to drink, they didn't even have a neighbor to talk to.

However, thinking of my savings, I can barely be happier.

Despite the sudden incident, Mieko still paid the rest of his commission fee, not much, only 300,000 yen in total, but it was worth his savings for the past few months.

Gao Cheng happily made a bowl of cup noodles, added a piece of ham as a reward, and ate it while looking at the snow scene outside the window.

Counting the expenses for this month, there is still a lot of money left, even if there is no entrustment in the next month, I can live for a while.

Sure enough, it is much better than those small commissions. No wonder some detectives can eat for several years once they open one.
