Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 121: A Trustworthy Private Detective

Gao Cheng twitched at the corner of his eyes: "Damn guy..."

He was all focused on how to find the intimidator, and he didn't think about it that much at all, and he didn't know much about baseball, and he couldn't judge left-handed people.

But having said that, is it really possible that the old man is a counterfeit?

The Brazilian youth who is said to be the bodyguard next to him looks very imposing, but he feels that he is just an ordinary person, not a master. On the contrary, the old man himself seems to be a bit uneasy.

From this point of view, it is indeed a bit suspicious...

In the warehouse, Gao Cheng turned on the lights and re-examined carefully along the places that everyone had searched.

Even though Yabuuchi took most of his belongings with him when he moved to Brazil, there must have been contacts over the years, and no one knew about the most important letters.

I believe that if there is such a letter, the identity of the old man can be confirmed.

But, if the old man's is fake, what should he do?

"Um?"

With special attention, Gao Cheng found a secret door, in which a bunch of air mail from Brazil was safely kept.

"That's all..."

After all, Conan is not a private detective. Like him, he is similar to Uncle Mori. Most of the time, he is on the edge of gray. Except for the investigation of extramarital affairs, various investigations are not uncommon at ordinary times. He is quite sensitive to secret doors and the like, so Finding those airmail letters was easy.

As night fell, amidst the rustling wind, a strange man in a coat stepped on fallen leaves and appeared outside the house, looking through the gap in the back door to the lighted warehouse.

A hat, sunglasses, and a scarf, completely invisible.

Gao Cheng put the letter back to its original place, and after closing the warehouse door, he turned his head as if feeling something, but he didn't see anything.

"Weird..."

Everyone in the bedroom has already started preparing for dinner, but when the old man in Yifang was about to go out for dinner, he found Gao Cheng waiting at the door.

"Mr. Tanaka, can we have a good talk?" Gao Cheng looked at the old man and said calmly.

He had read all the contents of the letter. Surprisingly, the real Yabuuchi Yoshifua had passed away half a year ago, and Mr. Tanaka in front of him was just a friend of the other party.

And this time Yabuuchi's elder brother is Yabuuchi's foster relative who made a will, and because of his younger brother's death, he plans to distribute part of the inheritance to his younger brother's only son.

The real heir to the inheritance is actually the Brazilian youth Carlos.

Gao Cheng still couldn't help but look at the brown-skinned young man with thick lips. If it wasn't mentioned in those letters that Yabunai Yifang was born to a Brazilian woman, he would never have imagined it.

Hattori Heiji is a black spot, and he is still an Asian, but this young man is almost no different from a Brazilian...

"I still underestimate you, Detective Chenghu," the old man said in a deep voice, "It seems that you already know."

"But you don't want to steal the inheritance, do you?" Gao Cheng and the old man sat down face to face.

"I decided to be Carlos' bodyguard when I received the threatening letter," the old man sighed softly, "Because if those guys know about Carlos, Carlos will definitely be in danger, so I want to attract attention by myself , so that Carlos can be protected until the will is announced..."

The old man paused, and looked at Gao Chengdao seriously: "Detective Chenghu, please help keep this matter a secret, at least until you find out those two threatening guys."

On the other side of the cafeteria, Yabuuchi Hiromi prepared a table of sumptuous hot pot for dinner.

"Strange, where are Uncle Yifang and Detective Kido?"

"I'll call them!"

Conan took the initiative to stand up, just at this time the door was opened, and Gao Cheng came with the old man and Carlos.

"Oh?" The old man said unexpectedly, "Eat hot pot today, so I can feel at ease, and I don't need to ask Carlos to test the poison for me..."

"Uncle," Yabuuchi Hiromi said awkwardly, "The threatening letter must be just a prank!"

"Hmph, it's best if it's true!" The old man sat down with a straight face, and at the same time called Gao Cheng to sit on the other side.

Conan blinked his eyes: It's strange, how can he treat Kido so well...

At the entrance of the meal, a phone call suddenly came in. Hiromi Yabuuchi picked up the landline beside the dining table, and suddenly a loud noise rang out in the cafeteria.

"It's my aunt calling...Auntie, what's wrong?"

"Have we run out of firewood for bathing today?"

"Well, so I was thinking not to take a bath today..."

"I want to tell you that I bought the firewood and put it next to the warehouse..."

There was a lot of noise on the other side of the phone, as well as men's teasing and laughing, it seemed to be a reception.

"Has your aunt gone out?" Gao Cheng asked curiously when Hiromi Yabuuchi hung up the phone.

"My aunt went to a friend's wedding," Hiromi Yabuuchi felt a little embarrassed, and said helplessly, "She seems to have a new man..."

"Dad just died, she is really in the mood!" Hiromi's younger brother Yoshiyuki cursed.

"Forget it, I'll go boil the water," Yabuuchi Hiromi nodded and smiled at Takamari, "Detective Kido, you can just take a bath after eating."

"Uh, I don't need it." Gao Cheng smiled dryly and waved his hands. He was not used to bathing outside, and he forgot to bring a change of clothes for a while.

After dinner, it was nine o'clock. At this time, the water was almost boiling. The old man was the first to be called to take a bath. As for the nominal bodyguard, he stayed with everyone in the cafeteria for the purpose of monitoring everyone.

Gao Cheng sat with Carlos, and the old man had already asked him to protect Carlos in private. Although it didn't look like anything would happen now, it was still necessary to be on the safe side.

As for the old man himself, except for the Yabuuchi Machiko who went out to attend the wedding, the rest of the people are in the cafeteria, so there should be no problem, and the old man is also quite good, so he is a Brazilian judo master...

More than ten minutes later, the Japanese-style french door was suddenly pushed aside, and the old man appeared at the door, steaming all over, with a slightly gloomy face: "Detective Chenghu, can you come out?"

"Um?"

In the bathhouse, Gao Cheng followed behind the old man, looking delicately at a corpse in a raincoat beside the tub.

The kitchen knife was directly inserted into the chest, killing him with one knife...

"She just called from the reception and said she would be back around 11 o'clock. Why did she appear here?"

Gao Cheng squatted down, looked at Machiko Yabuuchi's terrifying face in doubt, widened his eyes, and died in shock.

"I don't know too well," the old man said in a deep voice, "When she rushed over with a knife, I subconsciously countered with judo. When I realized it, she was already dead..."

Gao Cheng didn't know much about judo, but Machiko Yabuuchi did stab herself with a knife in her chest.

"In any case, this is self-defense, and there should be no problem if you surrender to the police."

The old man's expression trembled slightly: "But Carlos..."

"I know a good police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department, he should be able to help," Gao Cheng stood up, nodded and said, "As for Carlos... leave it to me, I will serve as his officer until you come back." bodyguard."

The old man was silent for a while, and smiled on his face: "I didn't really like private detectives very much before, but if it's a Kido detective, I think I can trust it. Carlos will trouble you, but he doesn't understand Japanese very well. Does Detective Kido speak Portuguese?"

"Uh, this..."
