Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 123: Conan's Family

"Hey, Kido," Conan knelt on the futon, looking around suspiciously, "Did you hear any strange noises?"

"sound?"

Gao Cheng hadn't been used to the way of kneeling here since before, but he didn't care about the discomfort when he saw Conan's appearance, so he listened to the left and right, and suddenly a faint voice came to his ears.

"Tick tock!" As everyone in the hall quieted down, the voice in the dark became clearer...

"This is?" Gao Cheng's eyes tightened slightly.

This sound is too familiar, if it is correct, it should be the sound of the clock moving...

The old lawyer wearing reading glasses put a tape recorder on the table, coughed softly and said, "Then let's start reading, Mr. Yauuchi prepared an extra will tape in advance..."

"Please wait a moment!" Gao Cheng stood up under the surprised eyes of everyone, and looked around the long table with a serious face.

"What, what's the matter, Detective Kido?"

Mrs. Hiromi and the others looked at Gao Cheng confusedly, Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki said impatiently: "What the hell are you doing? At this time..."

"Shut up!" The old man yelled, his sharp eyes fixed on Gao Cheng, "Don't disturb Detective Chenghu!"

"What..." Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki turned his head dissatisfied, he felt that Gao Cheng seemed to have been bribed by the old man, and he didn't do anything to investigate the old man, but was still helping the old man.

Gao Cheng stopped in front of the tea cabinet at the door, and suddenly said, "Did you hear this sound?"

"What?" Everyone asked confusedly, not knowing why, "What voice?"

Gao Cheng did not explain, but opened the tea cabinet carefully, and suddenly a crossbow with a clock fixed appeared in front of him. outgoing.

Gao Cheng quickly took off the crossbow to release the mechanism, but did not move the crossbow.

This device is more sophisticated than last time at the opera house, and the circuit, I am afraid it has been set up for a long time...

"What's going on here?" Seeing Gao Cheng take out the crossbow, everyone at the scene was horrified.

"Who made it? There is even a timing device!"

"It must be that guy!" Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki had lingering fears, "It must be the guy wearing sunglasses yesterday, he must still hate our Yabuuchi family, so..."

"Strange," Conan's crisp childish voice interrupted the discussion in the room, "there are so many small holes in the tatami here!"

"Small hole?"

The compartments are separated by traditional Japanese paper doors, and the tatami mats with small holes are facing the crossbow of the tea cabinet.

"Did that guy try to shoot?"

"That's right," Gao Cheng inserted the crossbow bolt into the small hole, and it fit just right, "The murderer who set up the crossbow, from the very beginning, aimed at Uncle Yifang sitting in the seat of honor."

"Hmph," the old man sneered, "Sure enough, there are still people who want my old life!"

"But there's no reason," Mrs. Guangmei puzzled, "Uncle Yifang wasn't here at all 15 years ago, how could that person..."

"Because he is not your mother's brother at all!"

Gao Cheng took out a cigarette butt wrapped in a handkerchief and put it on the table.

His eyes turned inadvertently to the door.

"Am I right, some Mr. Detective who spent the day at Warehouse Beam?"

"This is..." Yukiko picked up the cigarette butt and looked at it unexpectedly.

"You're mistaken, I'm not a detective," the door of the Buddhist hall was opened, and a man covering his face appeared at the door, taking off his sunglasses and hat hoarsely, "I'm just a novelist."

"Little, novelist?"

"Father?!" Conan looked at the person in surprise, and just like Gao Cheng, he didn't expect it to be Yusaku Kudo.

Gao Chenggan looked at the handsome middle-aged version of "Xinyi" in front of him with pain, not knowing what to say.

Make it like this and say that you are not a detective...

"Mr. Kudo, why are you here?"

"I have something to do..." Yusaku Kudo glanced at Yukiko, who turned her head away in anger, with glasses, and smiled at Gaocheng, "At first, I wanted to help investigate, but now it seems a bit redundant, Mr. Tanaka Hired a good private investigator."

"Mr. Tanaka?" Everyone in the room, including Conan, looked at Yusaku Kudo in confusion.

"Kiroto should be much clearer than me on this point, as long as you listen to the contents of the will tape, you will know what's going on," Yusaku Kudo nodded to the old lawyer, "Please release it for everyone to listen to."

"Oh, good." The old lawyer was in a daze, and finally came back to his senses. He pressed the play button under the anxious eyes of everyone, but found that there was no sound.

"Ah, it turned out to be reversed... Sorry, sorry, wait for me."

"..."

It took a while for the old lawyer to adjust the tape and replay it. His confused look made people anxious. Gao Chengzhen was worried that the old man would press the playback into a recording, and all the last words in the tape would be destroyed.

"My estate will be inherited by the following six people," the voice of an old man echoed in the Japanese room without any problems with the tape, "My wife Machiko, my daughter Hiromi, my son-in-law Hidekazu, my son Yoshiyuki, my daughter-in-law Keiko...and Karl Los... the inheritance is distributed equally among the above six people..."

"Carlos?!"

Everyone looked at the Brazilian youth Carlos in disbelief.

"Why is there no uncle's name? Isn't Carlos the uncle's bodyguard?"

"The fact is just the opposite, because this old gentleman is the bodyguard who came from Brazil for Carlos," Kudo Yusaku took out the airmail letters from his arms, "Mr. He gave birth to his only son Carlos, and this old gentleman is actually a friend who runs the farm with Mr. Yoshibo Yabuuchi.”

Kudo Yusaku looked at the old man silently in the shock of the group: "Ten years ago, a tornado destroyed the farm and injured the old man's right leg, while Mr. Yifang lost his left hand. The old man wrote the letter... things are clearly written in these airmail letters, am I right? Mr. Tanaka."

"He's Tanaka? Could it be that he invited this detective from the beginning?" Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki turned to Gao Cheng angrily, "Damn it! Did you know everything from the beginning?"

Gao Cheng looked calm: "It doesn't matter anymore, let's see who the murderer who set up the crossbow is now."

Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you already know who the murderer is?"

"Yeah, it can't be Yusaku-san, right?"

"About this," Gao Cheng paused, his eyes swept over the people present, "Almost all the people who knew in advance that their wills would be published here in the Buddhist hall are here. As long as the police investigate, they can find out that the crossbow and the timing device The source, these things are so special, it is not difficult to find out when there are suspects."

"Yes, it's me," Yabuuchi Keiko collapsed to the ground suddenly in cold sweat, "I installed the crossbow, I just wanted to scare him..."

The final matter was not too complicated. The police came again to take Yabuuchi Keiko away, and the will had formally become legal, so there would be no more trouble.

After a night's rest, Conan's family planned to leave early the next morning, and Gao Cheng had no intention of staying. He couldn't stay long without bringing a change of clothes.

Gao Cheng bid farewell to Old Man Tanaka and Carlos at the gate of Yabunei's mansion. This big Brazilian young man seemed to know nothing, but just bid farewell to Gao Cheng with a big boy's smile.

Gao Cheng didn't understand Portuguese, so he turned to Conan and asked in a low voice, "Can you speak Portuguese?"

Conan rolled his eyes angrily: "Please, how could I?"

"Really?" Gao Cheng smiled dryly, and could only wave his hands at Carlos and the old man, "Goodbye, Carlos, old man, come to Tokyo to play when you have time."

The departure is imminent, and the Kudo couple on the other side of the door are also saying goodbye to the Yabuuchi family. The awkward Yukiko seems to be acting like a baby to Kudo Yusaku, and finally sits on the motorcycle with Kudo Yusaku with a displeased and happy face.

"Shinichi, what are you doing?" Yukiko waved and shouted to Conan who was beside Gaocheng, "If you don't hurry up, we will leave you behind!"

"coming!"

Conan looked at his mother Yukiko speechlessly, got on the motorcycle in a hurry, and the family of three left along the field path.

"Let's go first, Kido!"

Gao Cheng watched them go away, shook his head and smiled, and silently put on his helmet and rode a bike to keep up.
