Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 291: Dead Bones

"Sikuyuan! Shiguyuan has arrived!"

As the train passed through the steamy swamp, at the end there appeared the terminal Shiguhara Station and a magnificent hotel.

Looking through the window, the whole hotel seemed to be in a fog.

After a sound of rubbing the rails, the train stopped at the platform, and all passengers waited outside the train under Meguro's instructions, while the large luggage was left on the train for inspection.

Taking advantage of Gao Mu's inspection gap, Gao Cheng came to the No. 3 box where the body was found again.

The thorny roses have been cleared to the sides, and there are still fragments of broken balloons on the ground...

Gao Cheng thought about it and walked to the window.

The entire box was searched, but nothing was found. The corpse did disappear from the room in an instant, as if by magic.

"Aside from the door, the only way out is through the window..."

Gao Cheng stretched out his hand to hold up the window, it was only half opened and he couldn't continue.

"The windows can only be opened so wide," the flight attendant at the back explained. "In order to avoid danger, the windows of this train cannot be opened too large."

"yes?"

Gao Cheng poked his head out to look at the toilet window next to him.

The window was opened so wide that it was just enough to stick out the head, but the body couldn't get out at all...

"Mr. Police!" Gao Yuanyao followed Mu Mu anxiously on the platform outside, "Can you finish the inspection earlier? It would be troublesome if the head of the team is not here. Look, the schedule is full..."

"I got it! I'm busy too!" Mu Mu was so annoyed that he left Gao Yuan and asked Gao Cheng, who stuck his head out, "Brother Chenghu, how are you doing?"

"Nothing was found. Almost all the large luggage has been checked, and no body can be found at all."

Gao Cheng retracted his head, grabbed his hair and got off the train.

Just after the body was discovered, the system popped up a notification about the case, which added another level of importance to him.

The cases selected by the system may not be encountered every time.

But this time the criminal method that seems to be magic is very confusing.

What's more troublesome is that the body can't be found, as if it really disappeared from the train.

"It seems that things are quite serious, Officer Megure." A young man in a suit wearing a deerstalker hat followed Gao Cheng out of the car, and after taking off the hat, he revealed a head of golden wavy hair.

"Student Baima?!" Mu Mu looked at the boy in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I just took this bus to watch the magic show," the young man smiled slightly, his brown eyes turned to Gao Cheng, "I'm Tan Baima, please give me your advice."

"White Horse Detective?" Gao Cheng blinked, then looked at the boy.

Takagi explained in a low voice: "It's the son of Director Baima, who seems to have been studying in the UK..."

"Ah! It's the White Horse Detective!" Gao Cheng realized that there was indeed such a character in his impression, and he was also a high school student detective.

"But why is the hair golden..."

Gao Cheng stared closely at the boy and whispered, "It smells familiar."

"You know me?" The young man sweated slightly on his forehead, "I've often heard about you, the well-known Kido detective in the Metropolitan Police Department..."

"yes?"

"Brother Kido," Mu Mu glanced at the train, and said in a deep voice, "I think it's almost the same, let's go to the hotel first, the train will leave in 20 minutes, and then let the Hokkaido police inspect the compartment carefully."

Gao Cheng nodded: "That's the only way..."

The murderer this time is probably a master of magic, and he can't think of a reason for a while. Anyway, those people from the Fantasy Magic Troupe have gone to the hotel, and they will investigate slowly.

...

In Shiguyuan Station Hotel, the magic troupe sat around in the lobby, and the atmosphere was heavy.

"What's going on? Why did the police from the Metropolitan Police Department come over?" The head's wife, the mermaid Xihai, frowned.

"It said that I received some threatening letter, and I don't know if it is true or false..."

"Thinking too much should have nothing to do with us."

Your son Yu Liangma crossed his legs, smoked and said, "Xihai, your husband's popularity has declined recently, and he seems to be in a low mood, right? Could it be that he slipped away after playing tricks on us?"

"What do you mean?" The beautiful woman's complexion changed slightly.

"It's nothing," Yurama snorted and got up, "I just think it's time for our regiment to change, after all, I have the highest reputation."

"you……"

At this time, Gao Cheng and his party entered the lobby, and the members of the conflicting magic troupe fell silent immediately.

"Is this the place? It looks pretty good."

Gao Cheng looked at the hotel lobby curiously, he didn't expect such a remote place to have a luxury hotel.

"I am the manager of this hotel, Nagasaki Koshiro." A middle-aged man in a suit came to the lobby with a smile.

"Hello," Gao Cheng took out two invitation coupons, "Can I stay for free if I have this?"

"Yes, Mr. Kido and Ms. Haibara..." The manager slightly opened his eyes, "There is only one double room, is that okay?"

"Yes, as long as there are two beds."

Gao Cheng had a slight helplessness on his face.

It's nothing for him to share a room with Xiao Ai, but the reason there is only one room is related to the score.

He was able to come because Xiao Ai got an extra family member's hospitality coupon, and he felt a little suspected of being soft...

"But having said that," Gao Cheng finished the formalities, looked around and asked, "Are we the only ones here today?"

"Although we have prepared quite a few such coupons, it seems that no one has received them. You are indeed the only ones using the coupons today."

The manager smiled, and turned to the mermaid Xihai, the wife of the head of the magic troupe: "Miss Xihai, you are safe here, something like that happened here, I didn't expect you to come this time."

The members of the magic troupe changed their faces and did not respond to the manager.

"That kind of thing?" Gao Cheng looked at everyone in the magic troupe strangely, "Has anything happened here before?"

"It's nothing," the manager led the way, "This way please, I'll take you to your room."

"Oh."

Gao Cheng suppressed his doubts and stopped asking, and started talking with Baima Tan.

"Didn't you draw an invitation ticket to come here?"

"No," White Horse Tan laughed, "I've heard of that test too, but I haven't tried it yet."

"It's better not to test it," Gao Cheng affirmed, "They are all codes to solve puzzles, and they are not allowed at all."

"I know, it's really unreasonable to hear that Kido-kun scored 75 points in the car."

"Is it? I need 200 anyway."

"Mr. Kido," the manager uncle opened a room near the stairs, "your room is here."

"Oh, it's quite big." Gao Cheng walked into the spacious and bright room.

Despite being a bit of a pain on the road, the hotel is luxurious and decorated in style.

"Huh?" Gao Cheng noticed a microgreen stone the size of a watermelon placed on the table and cabinet.

"Could it be emerald?"

"This is rough emerald," the manager said fondly. "In the past, this place was very prosperous because of its rich production, but now it has been mined."

Gao Cheng widened his eyes and moved closer: "How much is it worth if it's so big?"

"It's just worthless waste jadeite, and it's one of the few special products of Shiguyuan, so every room will have one for decoration," the uncle manager said with a smile, "Okay, you guys rest first, I want more Take the others to the room."

"Ahh," Gao Chengcai said shyly, remembering Mumu and the others waiting at the door, "Officer Mumu, we'll talk about the case later."

A gap was opened in the next room, revealing one eye looking at the people upstairs, and there was a strange chuckle from their mouths.
