Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 36: The Duke of the Night

On the ship back to Tokyo, there seemed to be piano tunes floating on the sea.

"I really didn't expect that the murderer would be Dr. Naruto," Mori Kogoro stood at the bow of the boat. He hadn't calmed down about Naruto Asai's male status until now, with a gloomy expression on his face. What letter of commission? Are you so confident in challenging my famous detective Mori Kogoro?"

"I think he must want someone to stop him from killing people." Gao Cheng looked back at the gradually blurred outline of Moon Shadow Island.

After Asai Chengshi was found outside the fire scene, he quickly turned himself in and explained everything. Not only was the tragedy more than ten years ago overturned, but the drug smuggling case on the island was also involved. A series of cases on the island also came to an end smoothly.

"Really, why do you act like you know very well," Mori Kogoro snorted, "Dr. Chengshi surrendered himself, and you just happened to find that sheet music. Solve the case..."

Conan half-opened his eyes, ignored Mao Li's muttering, but walked up to Gao Cheng and said, "You knew the murderer was Dr. Cheng Shi early on, right? Why didn't you just tell the police?"

"No," Gao Cheng retracted his gaze and chuckled, "If I knew, I wouldn't make your uncle so proud."

"Come on," Conan said with a blank look, "I've heard what the old policeman said. At that time, you should have known that the murderer was Dr. Cheng Shi, so you called him out of the village office alone, and..."

Conan paused, then looked at Gao Cheng probingly: "You were the one who rescued Dr. Chengshi from the sea of ​​fire, right? There is a long crack in the wall of the public building over there along the window. Doctor Chengshi can't do it." Arrived... Did you deliberately ask Dr. Chengshi to surrender? Kido, could it be that you..."

"Don't think about it, okay?" Gao Cheng interrupted, "I just want to be a humane famous detective."

The corner of Conan's mouth twitched: I didn't think about anything?

...

Tokyo, Kido Detective Agency.

Gao Cheng was browsing a newspaper reporting on the Moonying Island incident.

In addition to using him and Mori Kogoro as a gimmick as usual, the newspaper also published a photo of Asai Narumi being taken away from the pier by the police. attracted a lot of attention.

"The Tsukage Island incident came to an end. The sleeping Mori Kogoro and Hyundai Zuomonji, two famous detectives who were helpless, turned themselves in. The charming figure seemed to bring a touch of sadness to Kojima..."

"Dr. Cheng Shi's final confession: Thank you...who do you want to thank?"

"The two famous detectives were only third-rate detectives in the past. Behind the success of becoming famous..."

Gao Cheng put down the newspaper, touched his chin and looked at the light curtain of the system. Unexpectedly, the reputation value was not missed, but it directly increased by 200 points like a big gift package.

The 100 points were added to indicate that it was a drug smuggling case, and the other 100 points were also prestige points, but it seemed to him that it had nothing to do with fame, so he added them directly without any prompts, which is a bit similar to using the identity of a child last time. The prestige value gained from solving the case is probably because he chose to make Asai Chengshi surrender.

Do you want to exchange it?

Gao Cheng hesitated, now his deposit is not too small, plus Narumi Asai's commission fee of 300,000 yuan, and after deducting some expenses, he still has more than one million yuan, but no one would think that he has too much money.

Besides, more than one million yen is not considered rich...

Gao Cheng's eyes lingered on the reputation value for a while, and the beautiful face under the firelight of Narumi Asai appeared in front of his eyes again.

Shaking his head violently, Gao Cheng gritted his teeth and chose item exchange without hesitation.

"Boom!" The system produced an extra card as usual, and it was directly smashed into a string of memories and integrated into Gao Cheng's mind.

This time I got computer knowledge,

Same as the previous piano cards, it feels as if he has learned computer knowledge for a while... That is, it seems that he hasn't improved much?

Gao Cheng looked back at the newspaper again, nothing changed, it seemed that the system did not react as before.

God, Maru Asai won't always remember him, will he?

Gao Cheng took a deep breath, quickly restrained his thoughts and returned to the computer knowledge he had just acquired.

He tried to turn on the computer in the office for experimentation, and his hand speed was much faster, and he was proficient in various operations, but when he wanted to try programming, he couldn't do it well.

He probably might... not have the talent to be a programmer?

"Ding!" A reminder to join a group suddenly popped up on the computer interface. Someone invited him to join a chat group called "Mysterious Journey to Izu".

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, but still curiously accepted.

After arriving here, he has hardly used the Internet much. Could it be that the original owner's former classmates came to him.

Successfully entered the chat group, where some software development was being discussed lively, and they kept talking about a virus program called "Night Duke".

"Excuse me," Gao Cheng typed curiously, "What is the Duke of the Night you are talking about?"

"Don't you know?"

Following Gao Cheng's intervention, the discussion in the group suddenly stopped, replaced by a series of questions.

"By the way, who is this person? Why is he in the group? Aren't the rest two doctors?"

"Strange, I seem to have pulled the wrong person, I thought..."

"What are you doing, how can you let irrelevant people in?"

"Sorry, I'll kick it off right away."

"No need," a person named Duke of the Night on the internet suddenly said, "Since we're here, it doesn't matter if we go together, even if we don't know much about computers."

As soon as the Duke of Darkness appeared, everyone fell silent and did not mention the matter of kicking Gao Cheng out.

"Hey," one person couldn't help asking, "is there really a chance to get that program?"

"Of course," the Duke of Dark Night replied, "Everyone is a computer expert, it seems that you know the value of that program very well, hehe, everyone will check in at the Izu Princess Hotel in a week, and I will prepay half of the room for you. fee, if I can find out that I am also participating in the event, then not only can the remaining fee be waived, but the program can also be obtained..."

"Are you kidding me?" Someone in the group complained, "There are so many people in the Izu Princess Hotel, how do we know where you are?"

Although the others did not type, they were also waiting for the Duke of Night's reply.

"Don't worry," the Duke of the Night continued to send a message, "Didn't you all receive the list of participants? After that, I will also announce everyone's room number, and during the 3 days and 2 nights at that time, I will dress up as The real Night Duke is making some noise..."

Gao Cheng looked at the series of group messages in a daze, and originally planned to withdraw from the group voluntarily, but when he saw the words of the Duke of Dark Night, he immediately moved the mouse that clicked to withdraw from the group.

He was not interested in any programs, but the free trip to Izu was so attractive that he would never be willing to spend such money.

But think about it, sunny beach, beauties in swimsuits... I really want to go!

want to go!

"Then, the newcomer who just joined," Gao Chenglian was interrupted by the news of the Duke of Darkness, "please also send me your identity information, and I will arrange a room for you."

"Okay, okay!"

Gao Lilima privately sent the Duke of Darkness, but he didn't foolishly send his identity information, but just found a pseudonym of Kindaichi to deal with it.

At any rate, I also got a computer knowledge card, so I still have a little bit of precaution. When it comes time to check in at the hotel and register, it’s fine to say that I’m going there instead of someone else...

At the end of the conversation, Gao Cheng seemed to have felt a good life in a week. As long as there is no Conan at that time, he can spend a nice free holiday.

As for the Duke of the Night’s claim that he only paid half of the room rate in advance...how can he say that he is also a detective, so it’s impossible for him to be inferior to a group of netizens, right? As long as you find out who the Night Duke is during the trip to Izu, not only will you be free of charge, but you may even be able to sell some unknown programs you get.

In a good mood, Gao Cheng added the time of the trip to Izu to the memo.
