Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Villa basement vault.

Gao Cheng asked the hostess and Yuanzi to wait outside, and walked into the dark secret room by himself.

A strange man was lying on the messy floor. He had been dead for a long time, and there was an unpleasant stench in the air.

The scene looked like a homicide. There were impact scars on the forehead of the corpse, and the corresponding blood stains were on the sharp corner of a small box. It seemed that someone had been knocked out. As for the real cause of death, the initial judgment was suffocation.

The room that was supposed to be a treasury at the scene was almost completely sealed as long as the thick iron gate was closed. According to the hostess, she came to the villa one month later and found the dead man after opening the iron gate.

From this point of view, it is likely that he was locked in the vault after being attacked and knocked out.

"It has been dead for 3 days, the cause of death is suffocation..."

Gao Cheng inspected the corpse with a flashlight, and continued to observe the scene. There were no valuables stored in the vault. Documents and other sundries were placed on the two rows of shelves. A piece of manuscript paper was scattered on the ground, and another piece of paper was tightly grabbed by the deceased. In his hand, it seemed to be a message of death.

In addition, it is strange that there is only one slipper at the scene, and the other slipper originally belonged to the deceased, but now it is missing.

"Kirodo..." Sonoko clutched his palm at the door and nervously looked at Gao Cheng who was investigating.

This case has nothing to do with them, it's just a coincidence...

"Excuse me, is there a camera?" Gao Cheng turned to the hostess and asked, "We need to verify the scene before the investigation."

"This," the hostess thought for a while, but she was not sure, "there is a special room for Mr. Tanno, maybe he has a camera."

"What's your relationship with Mr. Tianye?" Gao Cheng asked strangely.

"He is a magazine editor, and I am engaged in writing. We share this house because of our work," the hostess explained, "I come here to work at the end of the month. Use it as a villa."

"Aren't you a lover?"

"No, although we have known each other for a long time, it is only limited to work."

The hostess paused, then asked, "Would you like to visit Mr. Tianye's room?"

"it is good."

Gao Cheng followed the hostess upstairs, with a slightly strange expression on his face.

Although it is not interesting, he still feels that there is something wrong with the hostess, and she is probably the murderer who killed Mr. Tianye.

Of course, this is just speculation, and what is going on still needs to be investigated.

It's not too complicated a case, if you look for details and clues, the truth should be revealed...

"Excuse me," the hostess asked concerned, "Mr. Tianye's matter must have been an accident, right?"

Gao Cheng shook his head: "It's not certain, the scene seems to be a murder case."

"Eh?" The hostess laughed dryly, "But you just said you died of suffocation..."

"Being imprisoned is murder."

"No way? In fact, there was a time before when Mr. Tanno was looking for something in the vault, and the door was closed for some reason. At that time, because I was there, I immediately opened the door for him."

"yes?"

Gao Cheng didn't say much. Compared with the criminals he met in the past, the young woman in front of him was really not suitable for committing crimes. It was so obvious that he hadn't found evidence and there were few clues.

"But this time, Mr. Tanye has a scar on his forehead from a severe blow. Someone should have hit him with that small box on the floor, and there are bloodstains on it..."

"But," the woman was upset, shaking her head and laughing, "it's impossible for that to happen..."

"Why is it impossible?"

"When I came, the vault door was locked. Only Tanno and I could open the door. No one else could." The woman tried to explain.

Gao Cheng glanced at the woman again.

It sounds like a woman locked Tanno in the vault, but Tanno was injured by a heavy blow for some reason.

A normal person's thinking should be that the prisoner attacked Tianye, and then closed the vault door, instead of closing the vault door first, and then thinking about how to attack Tianye...

Those who thought of the latter,

Only weirdos or murderers.

"This is the one." The woman didn't notice Gao Cheng's suspicion, and took Gao Cheng directly to Tianye's room on the second floor.

There was a suitcase on the desk inside. Gao Cheng opened it and took a rough look. After finding the camera, he carried the suitcase downstairs and returned to the basement vault.

The detective has a special status, but what he should do should not be sloppy. Now that the police can't come for the time being, he can only be the forensic officer.

After taking a lot of photos in succession, after making sure that all the corners were captured, Gao Cheng picked up the manuscript paper held by the deceased.

There are some pictures drawn on the front of the wrinkled manuscript paper, while the back is blank. I don’t know what Tianye wants to express. There are so many manuscript papers on the ground, why did he choose this one...

In the living room of the villa, Gao Cheng and the hostess sat face to face on the sofa, and the garden next to him looked at the big dog like a baby curiously, and even shook hands with the big dog on a whim.

"That..." Gao Cheng watched the hostess open his mouth, and suddenly realized that he didn't even know her name.

"Ah, my name is Xiaoshichuan Qianbo," the woman realized, and hastily passed a book on the side to Gao Cheng, "This is the novel I wrote, a comedy novel for girls."

"Little Ishikawa Chiba? Eh? You are little Ishikawa Chiba?" Sonoko didn't bother to shake hands with the big dog, and took the novel in surprise and said, "I really like your novels! I have read almost every one of them!"

The woman smiled shyly: "Thank you, in fact, my writing is very ordinary."

Gao Cheng had no idea at all, flipped through the novel casually, and asked Sonoko in a low voice, "Is Little Ishikawa Chiba famous?"

"Of course," Sonoko said, "Don't you usually care about anything? Chiba Koishikawa is a famous novelist for young girls."

"I don't read novels for girls..."

Gao Cheng put down the novel and smiled apologetically at the woman.

It's not easy to be able to write novels, unlike him who would die if he wrote a composition of hundreds of words.

"Miss Qianbo, do you think Mr. Tanye might have come to the villa with someone three days ago?"

"I'm not too sure about this," Chiba Koishikawa wondered, "Why do you say someone is with Mr. Tanno?"

"I just looked at his luggage."

Gao Cheng placed the items in the suitcase on the coffee table one by one.

A stack of receipts from three days ago, a condom, and a notebook with a contract and appointment arrangement...

Gao Cheng's temples throbbed.

What kind of experience is this Tian Yehua is really powerful, there are so many women.

Looking carefully at the notebook, it happened that there was an arrangement on it, three days ago, with a woman code-named "c".

The murderer is too sloppy, and the clues left behind are a bit unsightly even if he is a detective.

"Who do you think this woman in c might be?" Gao Cheng continued to ask.

"Is the other party a girl?" Qianbo pinched his fingers nervously and asked cautiously.

"There are condoms here, there is no accident, it should be a woman," Gao Cheng looked at the woman and said, "If c stands for name, Chiyo, Chiba...your name Qianbo is also acceptable."

Koishikawa Qianbo's eyes wandered, and he nodded stiffly: "That's right."

Gao Cheng has basically confirmed that the woman is the murderer, but he didn't say it directly.

There is still a lack of key evidence, and even if the case is solved, the woman must be decent...

Looking away from the woman's face, he studied the manuscript paper that seemed to have a death message in Tanno's hands.
