Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 177 Movie Theater Suicide

The theater was really deserted. There were only a handful of audiences in the huge auditorium, and it was also very messy. Ropes and cables were scattered randomly on the floor, and many ladders could be seen. It looked like it was about to be remodeled.

Gao Cheng, Conan and his party sat in the front row, watching the first part of the special film Gomera series with some boredom.

Ayumi and the others watched with relish, especially when they saw the monster Gomera appear.

"Yeah! Come on, Gomera!"

"Don't lose to the man-eating spider monster!"

"come on!"

"It's so noisy..." Gao Cheng looked puzzled at Ayumi and the others who were shouting beside him.

"Isn't Gomera just Godzilla? In other words, there is no such thing as Ultraman?"

"What Ultraman?" Conan asked in a daze.

"nothing……"

"Hey, hello," a young man bowed and touched the back row of the crowd, patted Gao Cheng and whispered, "Aren't these kids too noisy? Can you stop standing up and raising your hands when watching a movie? It’s easy to cause trouble for other people.”

"Hug, I'm sorry."

Before Gao Cheng could fully react, he gave a wry smile when he saw the young man returning to the back row.

I was regarded as the guardian of a few little guys. Is it to watch a movie or to take care of the children...

I yawned, and managed to last until the end of the movie, followed the excited Ayumi and the others out of the screening hall.

"There are still two games to watch." Gao Cheng was a little listless.

"This is a luxurious combination of three parts totaling six hours, bear with it." Huiyuan said with a smile.

"Did I really come to rest?"

"I'm a little hungry." Yuan Tai rubbed his deflated stomach, "Do you want to eat something?"

"The store here seems to sell popcorn!"

"Great!"

"Huh?" Gao Cheng paused for a moment, and when he turned around, he found Ayumi and the others looking forward to it.

"me?"

"whee."

"Please..."

At the store in the waiting room, Gao Cheng sullenly ordered a meal for six people, and checked his wallet again.

I knew it would be like this, luckily it's just some popcorn, but it's also expensive...

"Come on, three cups of coke and three cups of coffee," the waitress smiled happily facing Gao Cheng and several children, "There are also 6 servings of popcorn..."

"Three servings are enough, I won't eat it."

"Even if my sister invites you, it's not easy for you to take care of so many children by yourself."

"Ah, how embarrassing this is." Gao Cheng touched the back of his head, and hurriedly distributed the things to Conan.

"It's okay," the young lady smiled dryly with a trace of sweat on her forehead, "Anyway, this is the last day."

"The last day?"

"After today, we will be closing," an old man with a cane came up. "This movie theater has been open for 30 years and it's time."

The old man was wearing a shirt, a tie, a bushy beard, and glasses. He looked very friendly and was the owner of the movie theater.

"You have also seen the situation inside, and you are also preparing for tomorrow's demolition."

"Really," the waitress said angrily, "Can't we wait until tomorrow to start work?"

"Hey, don't say that," a man chuckled and smoked a cigarette, "We are very accommodating, allowing you to stay open until today, if the boss asked us to wait for the opening anniversary of this cinema, It's been demolished long ago."

The man's name is Zhang Tianzhengci, he is in his forties, he looks a little dangerous, he doesn't look like a serious person, but like a gangster.

Walking past Gao Cheng and the others, the man snorted and said, "On the last day this movie theater opened, there were only so few customers. There was nothing to continue operating..."

"What are you doing?!" A middle-aged man with a flat head scolded, "Smoking is not allowed in the movie theater! Don't remind me every time!"

"Hey, I'm sorry, sorry," Zhang Tian spat out the cigarette butt, and stomped on it with his foot, "I will pay attention to it from tomorrow, but then again, tomorrow this place will be turned into a pile of rubble,

Ha ha. "

"you!"

The middle-aged man with a flat head is called Gu Qiao, who is a projectionist in a movie theater. Seeing Zhang Tian enter the screening room with a smile, he has a bad expression on his face: "Damn it! What's your attitude?"

"Who is this guy?" Gao Cheng asked curiously.

"Zhang Tian, ​​who inspected the demolition work, has been here every day for a while now, and every time he comes, there will be harmony and disputes after the broadcast."

"Those bastards must have been hired by him to intentionally cause a commotion here and persecute our reputation, so they forced us to close the door!" the waitress said angrily.

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense." The boss didn't want to say too much, "Let's eat first, the next game is about to start."

"Ah, I forgot to buy lunch..."

In the screening room, the second part of the Gomera series started. The man named Zhang Tian deliberately sat under the last row of projection lights, and kept harassing other people while puffing out smoke. There were not many people in the screening room. not enough.

What is this guy doing...

Gao Cheng's expression was displeased, this kind of person felt a little nervous just looking at it, and there seemed to be a big death letter written on his face.

...

"Woo—!"

The second movie had to be interrupted before it was over, and a siren sounded urgently outside the theater.

"What happened?" Police officer Mumu rushed to the projection hall with a serious expression, and at a glance, he saw him hanging in front of the projection light window, his body was swaying continuously, and he looked a little horrified.

"It's really dead..." Gao Cheng's complexion changed. At first, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the screen. After turning on the light, he found Zhang Tian's hanged body.

Just a moment ago, he thought that this person had a dead face, which was a bit evil.

but……

Gao Cheng awkwardly greeted Police Officer Mumu.

He also said to relax, but this time he hit the knife edge again.

"Brother Kido, why are you like that guy Maoli, you can always see him at the scene of the crime?" Mumu asked suspiciously.

"It's just a coincidence, coincidence, I just came to watch a movie."

"yes??"

"Officer Mumu," Gao Mu didn't know if he wanted to help Gao Cheng out of the siege, and reported to Mumuhui in time, "The deceased is Zhang Tianzhengci, 43 years old this year, and the owner of a nearby housing agency. The closed movie theater was bought by him, because it seems that he still owes a lot of money."

Mu Mu nodded, not really thinking about Gao Cheng, and asked everyone in a deep voice: "Did he really commit suicide and hang himself during the movie screening?"

"No mistake," Mr. Gu Qiao, the projectionist, said angrily, "He actually chose to hang himself right in front of the projection window. At that time, both him and the rope were shown on the screen. I saw something was wrong, so I turned on the light to check... "

Gao Cheng stood beside him, looking at the corpse thoughtfully.

He understood what happened very well. It was indeed Zhang Tian who hanged himself when the incident happened, and the shadow left on the screen swayed for a while.

But it's hard to believe it was a suicide.
