Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 35: The Detective in Karmic Fire

In the public hall, Gao Cheng silently returned to the starting point of the incident.

He doesn't know whether the killing for revenge is correct or not, and the prisoner's mood should not be something that detectives need to care about.

It's just that from the mother and son of the haunted house, Mamegaki Taeko to Ochiai curator, and now Asai Naomi, he gradually felt that the relationship between the detective and the prisoner was not exactly like the kind of hostility in a fight...

To him, Asai Naomi is no longer just a murderer. Although the time of getting along with each other is very short, he really feels the sadness deep in the heart of the other party.

From a personal point of view, he doesn't think these people are so hateful. Instead, he feels uncomfortable because of what happened to them. When he watched Conan in the past, he even had the idea that he didn't want Conan to solve the case, and he once hated Conan because of it.

But now that he became a detective in the incident, he truly realized Conan's complicated mood.

If he could, he would definitely prevent these people from committing murders so as not to go back to the point of no return, but after all, he was powerless, and when he arrived at Moon Shadow Island, he couldn't even remember that Chengshi was the murderer.

The only thing he can do is to use his identity as a detective as much as possible to stop this tragedy from continuing...

Outside the warehouse, it seemed that the old policeman would not bring the keys for a while, so Gao Cheng had no choice but to take advantage of the moonlight to walk around outside, then broke through the window and went inside, turned on the light and began to search for the sheet music.

Chengshi told him everything. Before Kameyama died two years ago, he revealed all the things. It turned out that these people had been using the opportunity of Keiji Aso's overseas performances to buy heroin, and they were transported in the piano room. the piano.

The reason why Hirata didn't let outsiders get close to the piano was because there was a hidden compartment under the piano to hide heroin, which he had checked just now.

More than ten years ago, when Keiji Aso planned not to help anymore, the four Kameyama people who were afraid of the secret being leaked locked the Aso family at home and burned them alive...

It's just that these things are said by the dead Kameyama after all, so they can't be used as evidence. The only hope is the music score left at the scene of the fire.

Without the first-minute detective mode, he is only a third-rate detective except for his observation ability. Fortunately, the matter is clear now, and all that is left is to look for evidence.

Outside the public hall, Nishimoto hid in the bushes, saw the light in the warehouse window, his whole face turned blue and became terrified.

He originally planned to destroy the music score before the old policeman found the key, but he didn't expect someone to break through the window and go in.

"Huh?" Gao Cheng finally found the music score among the piles of sundries, and glanced through it hastily, when he suddenly heard footsteps in the aisle outside.

Hearing the sound, he actually entered the piano room directly...

Gao Cheng jumped out of the window and hurried back to the entrance. When he ran to the piano room, he happened to see a black figure in the darkness groping for a hidden space on the bottom of the piano.

"Do we still need to clear the evidence at this time?" Gao Cheng smiled while holding the wooden knife, "I have already taken out the heroin inside."

"What?!" Hei Ying was startled suddenly, without thinking too much, he gritted his teeth and jumped out of the broken window.

Gao Cheng didn't chase after him. He already knew the identity of Sombra, the secretary of the village head, Hirata. Naturally, the police had to deal with this guy. Now the most important thing is to hand over the piano score and heroin to the police.

When he was looking at it just now, he found that the piano score also left messages in the form of codes. On the first page, it said "Give my son Chengshi". The message before death, which explained everything clearly.

"Huh!" Nishimoto hid in the dark, watching Gao Cheng walk out of the community hall as if he was going to the village office, he couldn't help breathing quickly, and clenched the wooden stick in his hand with a grim expression, like a drowning man struggling desperately before like.

When Gao Cheng passed the intersection, Xi Ben's heart was broken, and he rushed out from behind holding the wooden stick high.

"Mr. Xiben, even if I kill you now, it's just an over-defense." Gao Cheng stopped walking and turned his head, his eyes fixed.

"Ugh!" Xiben met Gao Cheng's gaze, woke up in an instant, collapsed on the ground in embarrassment, his legs were wet, and said in horror, "No...I, I just want to knock you unconscious! Really! !"

"Go to the village office."

Gao Cheng shook his head, this trip to Moonlight Island should have come to an end, he chose to make Asai Narumi surrender, but he didn't regret it at all.

Some things may be more important to him than a single record on his resume.

...

At the village office, when Gao Cheng dragged Nishimoto back here, he found that everyone else had left, not even Narumi Asai.

"Officer Mumu," Gao Cheng felt something was wrong, and asked doubtfully, "What's going on here?"

"Oh, Kido-kun," Meguro turned his head, "Didn't that music score say that resentment will be eliminated? There should be no more murders, so everyone will go back first, and the interrogation will continue tomorrow."

"Where's Doctor Chengshi?"

"She should have gone back..."

"Going back? What's going on?" Gao Cheng asked confusedly, "Didn't Dr. Cheng Shi say anything?"

He obviously made Asai Naomi turn himself in...

"Yeah, didn't she go out with you?" Mumu asked strangely, looking at the embarrassed Xiben, "What's wrong with this guy?"

"He is the prisoner's next target, and he is also the murderer who killed Mr. Aso...Officer Megure, I will trouble you next time!"

Gao Cheng handed over the heroin to Mu Mu, and hurried out of the village office with the music score.

"What's wrong with him?" Mu Mu took the item in doubt, and said in surprise, "This is heroin?!"

Outside the village office, the sound of the Moonlight Sonata suddenly sounded again in the night, clearly reaching Gao Cheng's ears.

"Is it over there in the piano room?!"

Gao Cheng looked closely at the community building, and saw that the community building was gradually rising in flames under the night, and the flames shone in the distance, and it was all red.

In the piano room surrounded by sea of ​​flames, Cheng Shi leaned on the piano with nostalgia, his delicate face pressed against the keys, his fingers gently stroking and playing, as if seeing his father again.

There was a smile without regret at the corner of his mouth, and he pressed the final rest note: "It's over, Dad..."

"It's not over yet!" Gao Cheng broke into the piano room surrounded by flames with the music score, "Doctor Cheng Shi, take a look at this, the message your father gave you, it says to let you live alone... ..."

Cheng Shi raised his head, looked at the score in Gao Cheng's hand, and smiled with a little sadness in his eyes: "Actually, I also want to know earlier, so I won't do these things... cough cough!"

The thick smoke choked the nose, and it became more and more difficult to breathe in the piano room, and the outside was completely engulfed by the fire. The people who rushed here could only stand and watch from afar...

"Officer!" the police officers said anxiously, "It seems that gasoline has been doused around the area beforehand, and the fire is too big to get close to!"

"How could this happen?" Conan's face was ugly, as if he had figured everything out, but he also had nothing to do with the fire, and before he rushed in, Mao Lilan hugged him from behind, and refused to let go.

"Don't go there, Conan!"

"Sister Xiaolan, Dr. Cheng Shi may be inside..." Conan's face was reddened by the flames, and his heart was heavy.

"Ahem!" Cheng Shi's eyes glistened with tears, "It's too late, Kido-kun, my hands are already covered with blood like Kawashima's and the others...you go away..."

"Stop joking! I didn't come here to watch you die, wouldn't that mean I killed you?!"

Gao Cheng put the music score in his arms, and immediately carried Cheng Shi on his back.

"The days to come are still long, how can you just die like this..."

"Kirodo-kun!"

"You must live! I didn't realize the meaning of that entrustment letter...but at least let you live!"

Looking at the retreat that had been engulfed by the flames, Gao Cheng held Lake Toya horizontally, gritted his teeth while sprinting forward and raised the blade high.

call!

The fire wave approached violently and completely blocked the surrounding area, and the only window with a chance of escape began to be shrouded in the sea of ​​fire...

Gao Cheng's arms tightened, and Toya Lake instantly turned into a flash of lightning in his eyes. He gathered all his strength and swung it out, breaking through the flames like a real strong wind and falling on the window.

"boom--!"

Accompanied by the loud cracking sound of the glass, Gao Cheng leaped out with Asai Naomi, and stopped after rolling several times in the sea of ​​fire.

"What's the matter? What was the sound just now?" Mu Mu heard the movement, and looked towards the side of the public house in surprise, "It's the window of the piano room! Go and have a look!"

"Yes!"

"Why?" Cheng Shi raised his head with difficulty and looked at Gao Cheng who was holding a wooden knife beside him, "Why did you save me?"

"Because you are my client... It's not surprising to protect the client's safety, right?"

Gao Cheng was smoky all over, he let out a sigh of relief and stood up leaning on Lake Toya.

After realizing that the police on the other side were rushing over, he looked back at Naruto Asai, who was no longer in serious trouble, wiped the ashes from his cheeks, smiled softly, left the music score and walked away: "I have already completed the entrustment." , Doctor Chengshi, the rest is up to you to tell the police.”
