Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 1190: Killing Game

after dinner,

East Tower, Room 2.

Gao Cheng lit a candle, took out a mathematics material from his backpack, and looked through it.

The city lord prepared palace ball costumes for the dinner in each room, and he was given a gentleman's dress, but he didn't mean to change clothes.

Only the others were ignorant, thinking that there was indeed a reasoning activity, and they were still acting according to the script of the city lord.

I'm afraid there will be a homicide tonight, at most tomorrow...

The light was too dim to study mathematics at all, so Gao Cheng had to close the file.

After seeing the city lord's various arrangements, he actually already had a guess about the criminal method this time.

Given the conditions of this castle, he could tell at a glance what kind of killing method could be implemented, it was nothing more than how the murderer used it.

Even he already knew the two murderers who were likely to kill.

Want to meddle?

Gao Cheng's mind quickly flashed through the people who participated in the reasoning activity this time.

The final reward for this reasoning night is the entire castle and 200 million yen for removal.

In other words, several "victims" came here for this.

Why is the criminal so sure that he can lure the victim here by relying on this?

Purely to get the castle?

Or is there some secret in this castle that makes the victim afraid?

Or did the "victim" not want the castle removed?

Gao Cheng raised his head slightly.

Originally, this castle was relocated from Germany, so it is difficult to have any secrets related to the "victim". If there is any, it may only be under the castle.

There have been similar cases where the jewel thief buried the jewels when he fled, but when the wind came back, a house was built on it...

Thinking of this,

Gao Cheng took out his mobile phone from his backpack and searched.

He is not a person who only has a mobile phone, the city owner took it for granted.

It's just that the signal in this place is very poor, and there was a base station in the nearby mountains because the theme park was going to be built back then.

There are not many things that can be found, only the time when the castle was moved and built can be traced back more than 20 years ago.

It is not easy to investigate the case materials more than 20 years ago.

But at the same time there was a special case.

It was the "300 million yen incident" that happened in Tokyo. Because of the criminal's superb criminal methods, the police invested 170,000 police officers in a comprehensive search that year, but there was no result. As a result, the case was not solved after 20 years of expiration.

"Could it be this?"

Gao Cheng wanted to continue to check, but the mobile phone completely lost the signal, and the network was also disconnected.

...

Castle games room where people in court costumes gather to play pool,

Only Gao Cheng and the detective named Edward Colombo were not present.

"Why don't they have to participate?" the fat aunt complained.

"I don't care about them, I will go back after playing for a while."

Everyone didn't stay in the game room for too long, and soon went back to their rooms to rest.

Sonoko lit a candle and asked Hui Yuan, "Xiao Ai, I always felt that this reasoning night was weird, and I often participated in similar activities before, why did I feel like something was going to happen this time?"

"yes."

Hui Yuanai's face was calm.

It feels the same as it did 10 years ago with that guy.

The big bastard who is regarded as the god of plague...

Haibara frowned, recalling the figures of the event participants in his mind.

A total of 9 people were present, 6 were male,

The long-faced butler, the psychologist Richard, the Los Angeles detective Columbo, the critic Kusaburo Bando, the reporter Shinaki Muhito, and the university professor Yukawa Gaku...

No, if it's that guy, it wouldn't be strange to dress up as a woman.

If you don't consider the situation of impersonating someone temporarily, you can only rule out university professor Yu Chuanxue...

No matter how much you pretend to be, it is impossible to become an academic genius, the youngest assistant professor at Dongda... This kind of thing is impossible.

Everyone else is suspicious.

Haibara thought silently.

"Also, Xiao Ai," Yuanzi continued, "Don't you find it strange? Why are those wax figures specially made to look like us? Is it really a gift for everyone? Xiao Ai?"

"Ah huh." Huiyuan regained his composure.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ai?" Yuanzi asked suspiciously, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm very concerned about one thing," Huiyuan temporarily let go of his doubts. "This reasoning event said that famous detectives were invited from all over the world, but in the end there were only a few detectives, and none of the real famous detectives... very soon. Strange, isn't it?"

Sonoko: "It's really true. I was just testing whether I could bring my companions here, but I immediately agreed."

...

In the quiet castle, when the bell rang, suddenly there was a scream.

The participants who were already going to sleep gathered in the game room again, and Gao Cheng was also called by Yuanzi.

In the game room, the fat lady was lying on the billiard table like a wax figure of Ma Hui, with a dagger stuck in the heart behind her back.

"What, it turns out it's just a wax figure."

"Because the light was very dark just now, so..."

"Really, why did the city lord call us here? Just for this prank?"

Everyone was obviously annoyed, but when everyone arrived, the broadcast room in the game room immediately quieted down the scene.

Redram laughed and said, "Aren't you surprised? Next is the mystery of the mysterious night. Now please investigate Ma Hui's 'corpse' in detail and find the murderer..."

"A puzzle? That's it."

Several participants immediately showed a look of understanding,

Among them, Richard, a criminal psychologist with a combed back, approached and started researching first, and noticed that there were two billiard balls under the wax glove.

"The wax figure is holding green and red balls. It seems to be a death message... I already know who the murderer is!"

"Eh?"

Several other people looked at each other in surprise.

"Really, Mr. Richard?"

"Of course," Richard laughed. "When it comes to reasoning, I'm not inferior to those real famous detectives. Let's take a look at the color of this ball first..."

"color?"

"That's right, if this is the hint left by the victim about the color of the murderer's clothes in an instant, then the murderer is the person wearing green and red clothes..."

Under the gaze of everyone, Richard looked at the reporter affirmatively.

"Mr. Makime, is that you?"

"I don't think it should be possible?" Columbo with slightly curly hair denied, "It is true that Mr. Makime's current clothes are green and red, but the wax figure is still wearing a court dress and has not changed clothes. The murderer may also be wearing a dress when he committed the crime. ,

It is too far-fetched to interpret the death signal by color. "

Richard was speechless: "Well..."

"I think the clue should be the numbers on the billiard ball," Columbo continued, "there are numbers 3 and 9 on it, which should imply the 'Jiu Sanlang' in Mr. Bando's name! The murderer is you, Mr. Bando ?!"

Gao Cheng stood by the side all the time, seeing how many people were still arguing, he couldn't help but interrupted: "If the victim was pierced through the heart with a knife, he would have died on the spot, and there is no way to leave any death message. Moreover."

"Professor Yu Chuan?"

Only then did everyone pay attention to Gao Cheng who didn't have a strong sense of presence.

"That means the murderer wanted to frame Mr. Bando?"

"But who is the murderer?"

Colombo scratched his hair worryingly, looking distressed.

"There is no clue..."

"Isn't there a clue all the time?" Gao Cheng glanced at the curly-haired young man, "I remember that everyone has played billiards here except you and me. Isn't this a hint?"

Colombo: "What?"

"It's very simple. If you have played billiards, you should know the difference between the No. 9 ball and the No. 6 ball. You are the only one who has reason to confuse the two balls, Mr. Colombo."

Gao Cheng concluded.

"There's no need to hide anymore, this should be the murderer role assigned to you by the city lord..."

"Well, that's amazing," Colombo said in surprise, "it's just like Sherlock Holmes... Are you a famous Japanese detective?"

"No, this kind of childish game doesn't need a famous detective at all."

Gao Cheng shook his head, his eyes swept across the crowd.

"Everyone, instead of playing reasoning games here, it's better to go and find Ma Hui herself. Do you still think this is just a reasoning activity?"

"What do you mean?" A group of people looked at Gao Cheng, and felt a chill in their hearts for no reason.
