Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

The wind was blowing in the abandoned church in the blizzard, and the charcoal fire placed in the middle of the chapel became more prosperous.

"Then let's confirm," Shantou reminded after drawing lots one after another, "First of all, the study room is Yue, the priest's room is Kawasaki, the nun's room is Fujide, and the mustache uncle... Uh, Detective Mori went to the bathroom,

"Detective Kido and the kid with glasses stay in this chapel, the blindfolded man goes to the kitchen, and the blond guy goes to the warehouse, that's it, no problem, right?

"The places you are going to are all drawn on this drawing, let's take pictures with your mobile phone."

The blueprint that Shan Shantou mentioned was the strange piece of paper found at the entrance of the chapel, on which someone left a message with the identity of Taisheng Nihara, asking everyone to find the sacrificial words in various places, that is, that kind of coded paper.

Gao Cheng also asked about the identity of this guy just now, Nishino Sumiya, a bartender.

And the other thing is...

Gao Cheng checked the email on his phone.

Kawano High School in Nagano Prefecture... 10 years ago, Nishino and others, including the deceased Yasuo Nichihara, were members of the baseball club of Kawanaka High School.

As expected of Xiao Ai, she found out the information so quickly.

Although I don't know the specific motive and what it has to do with revenge, but according to the news reports of the year, in a game where Yasuo Niphara was the ace player, the others lost 9 consecutive mistakes to the High School Affiliated to Shinano University.

At that time, Wada, Kawasaki, and Fujide, who made continuous mistakes, were all admitted to Shinano University...

But this doesn't mean anything. Yasuo Hihara's suicide 10 years later cannot be related to a game in his student days 10 years ago.

"Wait a minute, everyone."

Seeing that Xiye and the others were about to leave, Gao Cheng stopped them in time.

No matter what the motive was, the prisoner was basically certain, and it was undoubtedly Nishino.

"What's wrong?" Nishino turned around in a daze.

I have a bad feeling, but nothing has happened yet... Wait, toilet?

"You guys don't really think this is a game, do you?" Gao Cheng asked while looking at the people who were still unaware of the danger.

For him, the model of "Snow Mountain Villa" is obvious, and the young men and women in it have not yet realized that they will die due to some factors.

Maybe these people don't think they have a reason to be killed, but the murder is not decided by the victim...

"Hey, hey," Nishino said with a smile, "Mr. Detective, don't you think this is some kind of incident? Although I don't know who called everyone here, it should be just a joke. Is it revenge for Japan who committed suicide here?"

"Yeah," said the others, "Even if Hihara didn't commit suicide? It has nothing to do with us, right? Everyone is here just for the farewell party."

"Anyway, let's hurry up and collect the sacrificial words? This place is so cold..."

"One person out in the toilet?" Gao Cheng calmly said, "This is the meaning of the code paper just now."

"what?"

Not just Nishino and his group? Even the uncle and Toru Amuro looked at Gao Cheng unexpectedly.

"Have you unlocked the code?"

"The meaning of the code is not too difficult." Gao Cheng picked up a piece of code paper and showed it in front of everyone. "As long as anyone who is a little familiar with baseball has a chance to decipher it?

"The nine-square grid surrounded by thick circles can be regarded as the infield of a baseball field, and then the grid corresponding to the player's position is determined in turn. The numbers on the back of the pitcher to the right fielder are from 1 to 9. According to this order... "

Gao Cheng took out a signature pen and drew circles on the coded paper.

"The codes everyone received at the beginning actually have the same meaning? So the letters in the corresponding places have not changed? The interpretation is 'the game has started', and 'one out in the toilet' is the result of the interpretation of this piece of paper just now."

"What does it mean to be out?" There was a spitting sound in the chapel, and the atmosphere was obviously stagnant.

"That's what it means," Gao Cheng looked directly at Shan Shan's head, "Mr. Nishino? It seems that you should have guessed that I almost died in the toilet? Someone arranged a crossbow in the tool room, as long as the door is opened was shot.

That is to say? If there are no accidents, the crossbow mechanism should be triggered when Mr. Wada goes to the toilet to find the sacrificial words. "

"What are you talking about? Detective Chenghu?" Coral head was sweating. "What kind of crossbow mechanism? I don't know at all. Whoever goes to the toilet is decided by lottery..."

"If this is the case, why do you have to draw all of them?" Gao Cheng laughed. "Actually, you can write a good place on the paper and each person draws a piece, but you let everyone write their names."

"Is there any problem with this? Hey, do you think I can draw anyone I want? I can't see inside the box..."

"Touching is enough."

Gao Cheng analyzed directly.

"Without scissors, divide the paper into 9 equal parts. The middle one will have rough edges on all four sides. You just need to give that piece of paper to Mr. Wada and write your name on it. Pull it out first, and the person in charge of the toilet deliberately puts it in the back, this is your trick."

As Gao Cheng said, he found a new piece of code paper from the back of the seat next to him.

"Two people were eliminated in the bathroom...The next place where the murder happened was the bathroom, but there is no mechanism in the bathroom. Mr. Nishino, you should still have the tools of the crime, right?"

The chapel fell into silence following Gao Cheng's reasoning, Shan Shantou wanted to refute but was speechless, and the others were too shocked.

"So that's how it is," Wakita Kenze said in amazement, "There is such a trick, but why did he go to such lengths to design a secret code?"

"It's up to him to ask himself." Gao Cheng turned to the coral head and waited for the answer.

In fact, without these magical operations, he might not be able to solve the case so quickly.

No, if this guy hadn't called Uncle Maori, he wouldn't have come across this case at all.

No detective would come to such an abandoned church in the mountains during a snowstorm, there are plenty of ways to commit crimes...

Is it because the uncle looks stupid?

Gao Cheng glanced at the confused uncle from the corner of his eye.

It is indeed a bit stupid, but it is still a bit unbelievable. Although he has robbed many cases, the uncle is still a famous detective all over the country, and the skin of the human shadow tree should be more or less scrupulous.

"Perfect crime," Nishino said in a low voice, "I am the third one to be eliminated. I originally planned to make Fujiide the murderer..."

"Nishino?"

The mentioned high school teacher Fujide Yorito looked at this high school classmate in horror.

"Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy," Nishino sneered. "Do you still remember the match-fixing game you guys played in high school to study at Shinano University? Because of that game, Hikari fell to where he is today. I avenge him, and by the way let Yue, who got rid of Hihara and Fujide back then, saw this scene with her own eyes..."

"Did you make a mistake?" Fujide said in surprise, "We didn't play match-fixing. We lost the game because of Hihara, because the game was too fierce. At that time, Hihara's shoulders, who had thrown 1,000 pitches in 42 rounds, had reached their limit. If you continue, that guy's shoulder will be crippled."

"But I didn't expect that there was still a problem with Hihara's shoulder, and we all went to apologize later."

The Hat Girl explained: "I didn't get rid of Hihara either. He proposed to break up, saying that his physical condition could no longer give me happiness..."

Gao Cheng contacted the Nagano prefectural police on the other side and ignored the group of people.

He didn't expect to hear the word "perfect crime", and the motive for revenge was far-fetched...

But he can't control that much. The follow-up investigation is a matter for the police. He has done enough to prevent murders from happening under his nose, and he almost killed himself.

what a scary world...

After one night, the blizzard finally subsided in the morning, and the Nagano prefectural police also disappeared, saying that they would send a car over after clearing the tunnel.

"Squeak!"

Gao Cheng was wrapped in clothes and opened the door of the church. He exhaled a breath of hot air that was clearly visible, and the cold air pierced his bones. He felt much better after getting into the car.

In this horrible weather, he should have slept in the car last night. He felt so stupid. He stayed up all night in church with the uncles.

"Huh?" Gao Cheng noticed Conan lying in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and asked in surprise, "When did you come?"

"I came in last night." Conan said with a yawn.

Small body has its advantages. For him, even a car seat can be used as a bed.

"Fortunately, Kido, you didn't drive the car to that parking lot. Did you know there was going to be a problem there from the beginning?"

"I'm just keeping an eye out," Gao Cheng leaned back his seat, "There have been a few incidents before, and it will be a disaster if you get blocked by the car rental company..."

"You are so rich, why don't you just buy one?"

"It hurts to drive my car out."

"..."

"It will take a few hours for the police to arrive, let me squint for a while," Gao Cheng found a comfortable position to sleep, "I still have to go to Kyoto today."

The police couldn't come, but the system settled the case first, and he won't have to keep thinking about the card draw if he got a "Magic Crack".
