Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 367: Taito Castle 2

"Taiko Hideyoshi's eight-day parade?"

"Yes, this is the name of our tour group. The people participating in this tour group are all admirers of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. We all know each other through the Internet. We plan to start from Nagoya, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi made his fortune, and come back after passing through Kyoto. To Osaka..."

On the Tianshou Pavilion, the long-faced youth chatted enthusiastically with Gao Cheng and his party.

"In order to increase the fun of travel, after we have breakfast every day, we will draw lots to decide the roles we will play, and then wear the corresponding badges... There are four badges for Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Akechi Mitsuhide , and then the person who plays Hideyoshi, Ieyasu, and Mitsuhide all day must call the name of the character played by the other party, and serve the person who plays Nobunaga..."

"But on the other hand, Nobunaga has to pay for Hideyoshi and Ieyasu's dinner," a woman wearing glasses interjected, "Am I right?"

"Ah, Miss Ningning?"

"You even have the role of Ningning?"

"Those who didn't draw the four roles will play Ningning..."

Gao Cheng looked back and forth at several guys playing role-playing games, and quietly pulled Conan over and asked, "Hey, who is Ningning?"

"Please," Conan rolled his eyes, "Didn't you take history lessons seriously? You should have watched the Taiga drama, right? Ning Ning is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's official wife, one of the three wives of the Sengoku period..."

Gao Cheng wanted to say that he didn't even know who Akechi Mitsuhide was, but Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu did. After all, the Tokugawa shogunate was quite famous.

Let's make it up when I go back, otherwise, if some case is related to Japanese history, it will be troublesome if Xiao Ai is not around...

Seeing that Conan still had a fishy-eyed expression, Gao Cheng coughed lightly: "I've never been interested in history..."

At this time, an honest-looking middle-aged young man came over, squinting, thick eyebrows, and a badge pinned to his chest: "So everyone is here, I've been looking for you for a long time..."

"Master Nobunaga!"

The old man and young man who played Tokugawa Ieyasu and Akechi Mitsuhide quickly entered the state: "I'm really sorry!"

"This is the oolong tea you want..."

"I bought a picture postcard of Osaka Castle..."

Gao Cheng looked embarrassed for no reason: "What a bunch of strange guys... I think we should go to lunch first.

"

"That's right," Hattori grabbed Kazuha who was still wanting to chat, "Okay, what do you care about these freaks?"

"Where are we going to eat today?"

Gao Cheng followed and left the castle tower. Looking back, he saw the old man talking to himself, and vaguely heard about Toyotomi Hideyoshi again.

...

In the evening, the sky was dark, and everyone had to go back to Osaka City to look for it because He Ye accidentally dropped his wallet, but suddenly it rained.

Only Xiaolan was carrying an umbrella. In the end, it was Xiaolan and the noisy Kazuha and Hattori looking for the wallet, while Gao Cheng followed the uncle and Conan to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Gao Cheng stood under the big umbrella on the side of the square, looking at the cloudy sky through the rain curtain, there was not a flash of lightning amidst the rumbling of thunder, reflecting each other with the glowing castle tower.

"It looks like this rain won't stop for a while." Uncle Mao Li said looking at the rain.

"Unlucky..."

Gao Cheng looked around many passers-by who were hiding from the rain under many umbrellas like him, and suddenly saw the strange tourists he met during the day gathered together, looking anxious, as if something had happened.

"What's wrong?" Gao Cheng took the initiative to ask, "Did something happen?"

"Oh," several people recognized Gao Cheng, "We haven't been able to find someone to play Hideyoshi. He has been gone since noon, and the phone can't be reached..."

"Yeah, I've searched all over Osaka City and nearby businesses, even the toilets, but I still haven't seen him."

"Didn't he tell you where he's going?" Gao Cheng asked suspiciously.

"No," the honest young man playing Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said, "He was with me before, but then his cell phone rang, so I don't know where he went, but he said he asked us to have lunch You don't have to wait for him..."

"Maybe there is something urgent." Hattori returned to the square alone, and handed the two newly bought umbrellas to Gaocheng and Uncle Mori.

"Hattori? What about Kazuha and the others?"

"They went to a store they had been to to look for it. Really, there are only five thousand yuan in the wallet, and they are so troublesome..."

Hattori complained, then looked at the cosplayers: "Then do you know who called him?"

"This, I don't know either..."

"Boom!" A sudden explosion echoed in the rainy night. Everyone in the square was startled and looked at the top of the attic of the castle tower of Osaka Castle next to it.

Right on the tile eaves in front of the viewing platform, a burning figure screamed and twisted like a firefly.

"Someone is burning there!!"

...

"That's right! This is my wallet!"

In a shop by the square, He Ye hugged his small wallet happily and thanked the proprietress repeatedly.

The proprietress smiled kindly: "That's great, I thought you would come back to look for it soon, so I haven't taken it to the police station yet. This wallet must be very important, right? I see a lot of amulets in it!"

"Yes, thank you, auntie."

"He Ye," Xiao Lan asked in surprise, "You have more than one amulet?"

"That's right," He Ye took out a string from his wallet, "I bought a few more amulets to ward off evil spirits, in case the same thing happened before and ruined your trip to Osaka again..."

"What?" The proprietress next to her was talking to her husband who came back, as if she was frightened, "A man who was on fire fell from the castle tower?! Is everything you said true?"

"That's right," the husband affirmed. "A lot of people are gathered there. It's noisy over there now. I heard there are still a few detectives!"

He Yemo looked at the two proprietresses who were talking in a low voice, lowered his head and put the amulet back: "It's useless at all..."

"Yes." Xiaolan smiled bitterly in understanding.

Below the castle tower, a scorched man lay in the rain with his eyes wide open, and before he died, he just tightly held Hattori's umbrella handle, without saying any last words.

However, judging from the paulownia emblem pinned to the chest of the deceased, it seems to be related to those role-playing tourists...

"This is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's family crest, the Five Seventh Tree," Hattori squatted next to the corpse and inspected it, "Maybe it's the Toyotomi Hideyoshi actor those people are looking for..."

Gao Cheng stood beside him holding an umbrella, looking at the horrific charred corpse, his eyes darkened.

The system light curtain popped up the case information, but what kind of trouble did he suddenly come up with when he fell from a building on fire?

It also happened to be related to the tour group I met during the day...

Gao Cheng looked up at the castle tower under the dark sky.

It was true that the deceased was alone on the roof just now, and it looked as if he had set himself on fire...

With such a heavy rain, why did you go to that kind of place?
