Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 66 Karmic Fire and Flame

In Takashima Tomoyo's room, Gaocheng and Nanase stood at the door, Takashima sobbed softly in Ogata's arms.

"Teacher, I will be killed too!"

"Senior Eagle Island," Gao Cheng folded his arms, "You really have something to hide from us, right? About Senior Sister Lika..."

"It's not my fault!" Tomoyo Takashima cried tremblingly, "It's not my fault!"

"Calm down, Tomoyo," Ogata-sensei reassured softly, "Tell me what you know, it will make life easier."

Takashima Tomoyo looked at Gao Cheng with red eyes and said, "On the day when the accident happened, Hidaka, Kiryu and I called Rika to the science classroom..."

"And then?" Gao Cheng's eyes tightened.

"Because I'm always unwilling to be robbed of the scenery by Li Jia, we wanted to scare her, but Li Jia knocked down the sulfuric acid on the table..." Ying Dao held his face and cried, "I didn't expect that to happen. Kind of thing..."

Gao Cheng frowned at Takashima who was trembling in Ogata's arms: "Why didn't you say anything after the incident? The suicide of Lika-senpai has something to do with you..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Takashima huddled in Ogata's arms, just kept crying.

"What should I do now?" Nanase opened her mouth and looked at Gao Cheng in bewilderment.

"Senior Eagle Island is in danger if this goes on," Gao Changchang breathed out, and said in a deep voice, "Nase, Ogata-sensei, I'll trouble you to take care of her, the prisoner may have a crossbow in his hand, be careful not to get close to the window .”

"Where are you going?"

"I'll look for clues."

Gao Cheng walked all the way through the corridor, returned to the stage of the theater where Ri Gao was killed, and checked again.

Many seemingly unreasonable and impossible places at the scene of the incident can often point to the truth. In the cases he has encountered so far, many special tactics are designed by the murderer for a certain purpose. The most common one is to create an alibi , just like Takashi Ichie in the last daughter of Yotsui's birthday party.

Judging from Hidaka's death and Kiryu's death, Utazuki who is hiding in the opera hotel now is either a pervert who really imitates the theater, or has some unavoidable purpose to do so.

Maybe we can find out where Geyue is from these clues...

Gao Cheng squatted next to Hidaka Ori's corpse on the stage. The steel frame had been removed, and the corpse was covered with a white cloth, but everything else remained the same.

He didn't pay much attention to it before, but this time when he saw the bloodstains on the edge of the stage quite neatly, he remembered that the stage curtain was lowered when the crime happened.

Analyzing the prisoner's thoughts and purpose through various details is a necessary ability to investigate a case. For this, he has studied criminal psychology for several months, so he immediately lowered the curtain again by himself.

As blood splattered on the curtain and connected to the stage, the entire murder scene basically returned to its original state.

But I still know why the murderer lowered the curtain when killing Hidaka...

Gao Cheng rested his chin in thought.

"Hajime!" Nanase found the theater and shouted towards the stage where the curtain was lowered, "Hajime! The prisoner has been found! Hajime?"

Seeing that Gao Cheng didn't respond, Nanase looked around and hurried to the stage in doubt.

"Kirodo!"

Nanase raised the curtain nervously, and when she saw Gao Cheng who was thinking inside, she complained, "Hey, aren't you here? I called you for a long time and didn't respond, I thought something happened to you..."

"Did you call me?" Gao Cheng was stunned, looked at Nanase and said, "Why did you come here, didn't you ask you to take care of Yingdao?"

"But the criminal has been caught..."

In the restaurant of the villa, when Gao Cheng hurried over with Nanase, the high school student detective was already waiting inside with Boss Kurosawa, and Uncle Tianshu and the maid stood beside him with serious faces.

Seeing that Nanase called Gao Cheng, Xiaoqiao Xianjian raised the corner of his mouth: "I knew Ge Yue was suspicious,

Now it seems that everything is just directed and acted by Boss Kurosawa. "

"Boss Kurosawa is Geyue?" Gao Cheng still couldn't react.

What kind of thing is this? He still has a lot of questions that he hasn't thought through clearly. This high school student detective found the murderer right away?

"That's right," Xiaoqiao Xianjian put a photo of Li Jia on the dining table, staring at the silent Kurosawa and said, "Because I thought Ge Yue might be hiding in the villa, so I searched again myself. I happened to see Boss Kurosawa sneaking into a secret room, and found this photo and the costume of the opera freak from the secret room."

"The secret room?"

Gao Cheng looked at Kuisawa in bewilderment. The boss had clearly said before that he didn't know what secret room it was: "Mr. Kurosawa, what's going on?"

Kurosawa was silent and did not speak, Xiaoqiaoxian saw this and said: "Boss Kurosawa himself admitted to the two murders. He used to be the drama teacher of Fukami Rika, and the suicide of an outstanding student has always made him brood. ..."

"No, Mr. Kurosawa should not be a prisoner." Gao Cheng frowned.

It's really weird, it can't be that simple, and Kurosawa's behavior is also very unusual...

"What are you talking about?" Kenjian Xiaoqiao snorted and pointed at the opera monster costume and mask on one side, "Boss Kurosawa himself has confessed to the crime, and the evidence is here! This is what Mr. Kurosawa stole clothing!"

"Mr. Kurosawa used to play The Odd Opera House, this may be the previous costume, and," Gao Cheng looked at Kurosawa closely, "is Mr. Kurosawa really Utazuki?"

"What do you mean?" Xiaoqiao Xianjian looked gloomy.

Gao Cheng ignored Xiaoqiao Ken's opinion, and asked Kurosawa directly: "Mr. Kurosawa, do you still remember the lines on the wall of Geyue's room?"

Kurosawa raised his head, looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously, and said with certainty, "Of course I remember, it was the lines of the weirdo in the opera house, burned by the karmic fire of hell."

"Then let's go to that room and have a look."

Gao Cheng nodded, first led everyone out of Geyue's room in front of the restaurant, and said to Nanase when he passed the door of Yingdao's room: "Nanase, you should stay here and take care of Yingdao-senpai, the real prisoner now Probably still hiding in the dark."

"Me?" Nanase stopped with a helpless expression, like a cat scratching her heart, only he knew that Gao Cheng was a famous detective in Tokyo, and wanted to follow Gao Cheng's reasoning.

Ge Yue's room was still in a mess, the window was leaking, and the torn curtains were whistling.

"Okay," Xiaoqiao Xianjian rushed into the room first, looked around and turned to Gao Cheng, "what do you want to see? This place is just messed up by Boss Kurosawa to cover up people's eyes and ears. The reason why the suitcase is empty, It's also because there is no need to bring anything..."

"Haven't you found out yet?" Gao Cheng asked suddenly.

"what?"

"Boss Heisawa hasn't performed for a long time, maybe he didn't notice, but now the 'yehuo' in the lines has actually been changed to 'flame'," Gao Cheng looked at the lines on the wall, "Yes, if it's Boss Heisawa, here's where to stay." The next line should be 'burned by the karmic fire of hell'..."

"This!" Xiaoqiao Xianjian looked at the "flame" written on the wall with a changed face, "This may be intentional by Boss Kurosawa..."

Gao Cheng shook his head and continued: "I'm afraid even Mr. Kurosawa didn't know the killing methods in the previous two cases? The reason why I want to help take the blame is because of the photo of Li Jia in the secret room on the one hand, and on the other hand because I want to Let the murderer stop here... Mr. Kurosawa, is that right?"

Boss Kurosawa stared at the lines on the wall, unable to speak, and lowered his head in default.

"Really?" Seeing Kurosawa's appearance, Xiaoqiao Xianjian couldn't help taking a step back, gritted his teeth and looked at Gao Cheng, "You, who are you? Could it be that you are the murderer?"

"He's also a detective." Ogata walked to the door and said with a scrutinizing smile, "The modern Zuo Wenwen, a famous detective who is as famous as Sleeping Kogoro... Detective Kido, am I right?"
