Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 715: Christmas Eve Promise

"call--!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, the red leaf forest rustled, and it was another deserted night, except for the dozens of underworld members lying in disorder in the forest, howling, the thick-lipped and long-haired man who rushed forward was immediately lost. Consciousness, coupled with the knives inserted obliquely around, seemed to return to the ancient battlefield full of corpses.

"What happened?"

Behind the thugs, only Chenzo Miankanuki was still standing in the field, sweat dripping from the corners of his eyes in the face of the sudden change.

A moment ago, his subordinates were still charging, but they changed their roles inexplicably. They didn't even know the reason. When they came back to their senses, they only saw Gao Cheng walking towards him.

"Are you kidding me?" Mian Guan Chensan took out the pistol from his arms with a stiff face, pointed at Gao Cheng and sneered, "Don't look down on people, do you really want to kill the group alone?"

Gao Cheng stopped: "My original target was only you, didn't you call these people?"

"It doesn't matter anymore," Mian Guan Chensan smiled, and regained his composure, "Let me ask one last question, did you know that I was the murderer from the beginning?"

"Know."

Gao Cheng looked at Mianjian Chenzo, whose face changed slightly, and explained kindly: "The death message is 'April 1st', combined with Mr. HOTUMI's name in Roman characters, it is actually very easy to understand, because on August 1st, the old customs will Pick off the ears of rice to worship the gods, so there is another name for August 1st, which is HOTUMI..."

"Yes, that's the case with HOTUMI. Just try to write your surname as KAWANUKI in Roman characters. It's easy to think of April 1st, because people in the past would pull out the cotton from their clothes around this day to change Cheng Xiafu, that is, KAWANUKI, has the same pronunciation..."

Mian Guanchen's expression changed, and he frowned, "Have you already told the police?"

"No, although this explanation is what Mr. Hotumi meant, but it is somewhat far-fetched. It is better to have direct evidence..."

"That would be great!"

"boom!"

The gunshot rang out, and Gao Cheng just made a small sprint to freeze the smile on Mianjian Chensan's face. The bullet was bounced and shot into the tree trunk, but the wooden knife fell directly on Mianjian Chensan.

certainly,

It's just to make these people lose their ability to move for a short time. Gao Cheng has no idea of ​​killing people in the world of Conan, even though these people are not good people.

To be honest, he didn't want to do it if he could use his IQ to solve it.

"It's... over?" Yuanzi poked his head out from behind Xiaolan, just in time to see the "corpses" all over the floor.

It turned out that Gao Cheng was so powerful, he was worried for nothing, and only saw the result, like a movie where the ** was cut and only the beginning and the end were left.

"Didn't see anything..." Yuanzi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, choked up and looked at Gao Cheng who was still cleaning up the scene.

There were still some people who resisted the beating and pretended to be "dead", ready to find an opportunity to run away, but they couldn't hide it from the experienced Gao Cheng, and walked over one by one to make up for it.

After a while, Yamamura who received the call came late, and led the team to arrest Watanuki Tatsuzo and all the thugs with a confused face. The bones buried under the tree were also dug out by the forensic personnel.

"This guy is actually a murderer?"

Yamamura watched his subordinates take away the fat old man who looked like a KFC grandfather, and scratched Gao Cheng who turned to the other side to watch the portable TV.

I didn't expect Gao Cheng to be so interested in a karate competition, but he didn't take it to heart even though he had just solved a big case. Could this be what makes a detective special?

"It will be Kyogoku's first match soon. Then, the undefeated boxing master, can the pride of Japan continue to win consecutively? The players on the scene are quite calm..."

"No defeat?" Sitting cross-legged at the edge of the venue, Kyogoku raised his head to face the Japanese commentator with his eyes closed, and faced the camera without feeling.

Suddenly I want to learn kendo...

In Gunma County, as Mianguan Chensan and others were taken away one after another, Gao Cheng also received system rewards. This time, it was nothing special, and he got a blank camouflage card.

Counting the previous total of 18, there is still a shortfall of 82.

Sometimes Gao Cheng guesses whether the system will collect character information when drawing blank camouflage cards, so it needs 100 cards to be converted into permanent camouflage cards. After all, camouflage is not a panacea.

However, this system is quite rigid and mechanized. Even if it is upgraded, it is still just like a tool, and there is nowhere to look for answers.

The karate competition on TV went smoothly. After seeing that Kyogoku had successfully advanced to the top 4 and continued his unbeaten record again, Gao Chenggong returned the portable TV to Yamamura Cao and planned to drive Sonoko back to Tokyo .

"And then," Conan interjected, "is the mystery of the red leaves in winter solved?"

"The solution is solved..."

Gao Cheng went to the room of the Chishu Hotel to pack his luggage, and saw the two Yuanzi who were still watching TV in the lobby, with tangled expressions on their faces.

"It turns out that the truth of the red leaves in winter is the grave...it's really not a good omen..."

"what?"

Conan's face twitched.

"What are you going to do?"

"I can only wait until Christmas Eve to come again..." Gao Cheng said helplessly watching Kyogoku who won again on TV.

If you really run away without fighting, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life.

It was already midnight when driving back to Tokyo. While driving on the road, Gao Cheng turned on the radio and listened to the live broadcast of the European Karate King Challenge by himself. Kyogoku had truly entered the finals, and there was probably no suspense about the championship.

In this world, Japanese high school students are really amazing...

Yuanzi and Xiaolan, who were sitting in the back row, were still in high spirits, chatting about the plot of "Winter Red Leaf" all the time, never mentioning the truth about the prototype of Winter Red Leaf.

I'm afraid that after this incident is made public, fans of "Winter Red Leaves" will be hit hard, and the popularity of Mangrove Forest will of course decrease accordingly, only Yuanzi seems to be unaffected at all.

""Winter Red Leaves" has nothing to do with this case. It's just a love story, so there's no murder or burial..."

Sonoko folded her hands and imagined Meimei: "After the war, the officer and the young lady reunited by tying red handkerchiefs on the tree. In the snowy mountains, the red leaves withered. The young lady found a tree in the white snow all over the mountain. The bright red handkerchief tied to the dead wood branch, and then I saw the officer under the tree, and the two have been flying together since then and never came back..."

"Eloped?" Gao Cheng had already taken off the radio earphones, and heard that his ears moved.

"Why do you put it so harshly? It's just to pursue your own happiness," Yuanzi snorted, "Besides, he left because of the social environment at that time."

So still elope...

Gao Cheng thought about the situation of Yuanzi's family. If the only remaining daughter of Suzuki's family was abducted, Mrs. Suzuki would probably go all out with him, right?
