Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 450: True and False Murderers, Similar Cases

Maori Detective Agency, the time is approaching 11 o'clock, Xiaolan and Heye have already taken a shower and put on their pajamas to go to bed, even Xiao Ai put on Xiaolan's childhood pajamas helplessly.

"Right? As long as there is a case, that bastard in Pingji will never end, and forget everything..."

After brushing his teeth, he and Ye complained together in Xiaolan's room with their hair loose.

"Tomorrow we agreed to go to the tropical paradise together, don't you want to come back today?"

"It's so late," Xiaolan looked out of the window worriedly, "Senior Kido and the others take Conan to run around..."

"However," He Ye sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and packed up his shopping bags, "That uncle has surrendered himself, what else needs to be investigated?"

"There must be something inside..."

"I don't mind him investigating the case, but," He Ye picked up a T-shirt with a puffy face, "They even bought him a T-shirt that looks very fitting..."

"Okay, okay," Xiaolan said with a smile, "Just show him tomorrow."

He Ye blushed slightly: "What did you buy for Kudo?"

"No, no, I knit a sweater for him last time, so this time I only bought something for Dad and Conan..."

"Really?"

"real."

Xiao Ai squinted her eyelids, sitting beside the two frolicking girls like a mascot, paused and glanced at the package hidden in the shopping bag next to her.

I don't know what's going on over there...

...

On the way to drive away from the Metropolitan Police Department, perhaps because of the relationship of the police officer Gong Chang, even the usual dazed uncle was rarely cautious.

"Although I don't know why Officer Gong Chang believed in that Xuantian so much, but," Uncle Mao Li drove in a deep voice, "This case is indeed too strange, and the prisoner on the other side turned himself in just after he started investigating..."

"Don't you understand, Uncle?" Hattori said, "It's so similar, the events happened consecutively in a certain order, the cowardly criminal was arrested without suspense, and there was only one incident where someone was killed... what is it? ?”

"Agatha Christie's,

The ABC Murders, right? "Gao Cheng continued, "I happened to be watching the Detective Polo series recently. In this incident, arson was set on fire from 1st to 4th, and the symbolic red horse was left behind, making it look like a series of arson cases. The target kills on the fourth...plus the surrendered convicts thrown out, it does look a lot like Ri's scam. "

Hattori said unexpectedly: "You have plenty of time, I thought you were just like uncle..."

Uncle Mao Li who was driving the car trembled his eyelids, and snorted, "I don't know about Agatha...how could the real case be exactly the same as in the case?"

"Uncle, you haven't heard of Polo, have you?"

"Of course I know," the uncle thought of the coffee shop downstairs of the office, "I'm almost starving to death after all this trouble, Xiaolan and the others should have prepared dinner, right?"

Gao Cheng ignored the uncle's muttering, and asked Hattori: "Are there any other suspicious people besides Mr. Xuantian?"

"That's not true," Hattori raised his chin and said, "After Xuantian, there were three people who entered Zhujiao's house, the feng shui master who had an affair with Mrs. Elder sister, a fortuneteller who set up a stall in the building in front of Kuahu Station, went to Mrs. Zhujiao to borrow money during the day, and finally left with an ugly face..."

"They all have alibi?"

"That's the problem. The fire started at the window where the red horse was placed. According to the children in the house, the shadow of the red horse was cast on the curtains at 7:30, which means the fire started at 7:30... "

Hattori thought about it: "But the Feng Shui master and Mr. Zhujiao went out to drink together at 7:20, and they rushed back to the scene after hearing that the people nearby called to inform after the fire broke out. In setting up a stall, only Mr. Xuantian has no alibi..."

Gao Cheng folded his arms silently, thinking about how to find out the real murderer and exonerate that wimpy uncle.

The idiot who was used by others and turned himself in, the real murderer should know him well and have contact with him, right?

Investigating from this direction should lead to clues...

Thinking of the crying wimpy uncle and the eccentric Gong Chang police officer, Gao Cheng secretly shook his head.

He is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business. After all, Hattori and Conan are already following the case, but this time he really wants to help a bunch of wimpy uncles. Wimpy is wimpy, but he has a good heart and is an honest man.

Moreover, this case is actually similar to the case of the famous detective Polo, which makes him more and more interested...

"Boom!" Back at the Maori Detective Agency, the uncle couldn't wait to knock on the door of Xiaolan's room.

"Xiaolan, get us something to eat, I'm starving to death..."

"Haven't you eaten yet?"

"We've already eaten all the supper..."

"Huh?" The uncle was stunned at the door, "Didn't you prepare for 5 people?"

"Because we're angry!"

"The fridge is empty too, I'll go buy it tomorrow morning..."

"Haha?" The uncle stiffened his neck and looked back at Gao Cheng and the others, "I can't help it. Although it's past business hours, I'd like to ask Bo Luo's boss to do something..."

Gao Cheng coughed lightly: "I still have ingredients over there, uncle, do you know how to cook?"

The uncle raised his beard: "You think I will?"

...

The next day, the trip to the tropical paradise that He Ye was looking forward to did not take place, so he had to follow Zhujiao's house that was burned into ruins.

"It's terrible," Xiaolan looked at the scene of the fire with some fear, "Did Zaili be burned to death?"

"That's right," He Ye pulled Xiaolan, not daring to approach the scene, "I don't know what that guy thinks, to come to such a terrible place..."

Hattori who was walking behind was speechless: "If you are afraid, don't come!"

He Ye took it for granted: "There is no other way, I want to see you resolve the matter as soon as possible, so that we can go to the tropical paradise together..."

"Why do you still want to go to a tropical paradise at a time like this?"

"Strange, didn't Kido come over?"

"Huh?" Hattori looked around, only to notice that Gao Cheng was not there.

Metropolitan Police Department.

Gao Cheng did not go to the fire scene first, but went to the police station ahead of time, planning to see Xuantian again.

The Gongchang police officer seemed to have interrogated him all night and did not leave, but he still didn't gain much.

"Officer, is there still no clue?" Gao Cheng found Gong Zhang who was frowning.

"It's Kido-kun," Gongchang raised his head, "According to your suggestion, we brought in the other three suspects for questioning in the morning, and the psychiatrist Xuantian sought was that Zhujiao Ming, the deceased Zhujiao Ryoko's. Husband, he prescribed some sedatives for Xuantian to stabilize his emotions...

"There is also Mr. Zeng Wo, the feng shui master. He also knows Xuantian and often meets in the antique market. I heard that he recommended Zhujiao, a college classmate, to Xuantian."

"That Fengshui master and Zhu Jiaoming are college classmates?" Gao Cheng felt more and more interesting. The relationship between the several suspects seemed not simple, much more complicated than "ABC Murder".

"Zeng I dropped out of medical university and turned to Fengshui," Gongchang explained, "Yesterday Xuantian visited Zhujiao's house because he said, 'The houses in that area are in auspicious directions, and going there can improve your luck... '"

"So Zeng I was also very suspicious. Where's the fortune teller?"

"It's not clear yet, but that woman is also suspicious."

The bow leader took out a small cushion in an evidence bag, and there were still traces of burnt on it.

"When Mrs. Ryoko's body was found, she held the mat tightly in her hand. When I asked the three suspects this morning, only the fortune-teller Gondo changed his face and went back in a hurry...as long as they have an alibi, No matter how suspicious it is, there is no way..."

Gao Cheng took over the evidence and inspected it.

According to the fortune-teller, this kind of cushion seems to be used to put things like crystal balls, so it's no wonder that the fortune-teller changed his face.

But the deceased held on to this at the end, did he want to say that the murderer was a fortune teller?

In any case, the most important thing now is the alibi, which is also a trick of time and space. According to Hattori and Conan, the witnesses are children from neighbors.

At 7:30, the shadow of the red horse was cast on the curtain... The only thing worth investigating should be this testimony.

As long as you don't directly see someone setting fire at 7:30, it means there are other possibilities in the middle...
