Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 34: Bet on the reputation of a detective

   Gao Cheng walked out of the village office silently, and while Mumu was conducting investigations, he found the old policeman at the police station on the way to the public hall.

   "Old man, do you still remember the case more than ten years ago? Did Mr. Aso really commit suicide?" Gao Cheng asked very concerned.

   After one minute, the magical state disappeared, but his thoughts did not disappear, leaving him with many doubts without clues.

"Well... the witnesses said so," the old policeman slowly recalled, "I remember that the witnesses seemed to be the former village heads of Kameyama and Kawashima... ah, by the way, there were also the heads of Heiyan and Nishimoto. The four of them saw it with their own eyes..."

   "Aren't the three of them killed this time?!"

   Gao Cheng remembered the reasoning in just one minute, and continued to ask: "Is there any relationship between the four of them?"

The old policeman nodded and said, "A few of them and Aso grew up together. I remember that the five of them went to learn piano together when they were young. Later, when Aso became a famous pianist, Nishimoto often went to participate in his overseas trips. It's a concert to join in."

   After saying this, the old policeman reacted and said, "Ah, now only Nishimoto is left."

   Gao Cheng twitched the corners of his mouth.

   This old man's reflection arc is too long, right...

   Going back to the village office with the old policeman, Gao Cheng continued to ask, "What about Dr. Chengshi? Does she have anything to do with Mr. Aso? Is it Mr. Aso's daughter?"

The old man shook his head: "Mr. Aso’s daughter died in the fire a long time ago, and Dr. Cheng Shi came only a few years ago, but... speaking of it, Aso has a son who should be still alive because he suffered from it as a child. A serious illness, so I have been treated in the hospital..."

"is that true?"

   Gao Cheng sighed slightly. Originally, he thought that Asai was just a special hobby of being a pseudonym, that is, the legendary lady-dressing boss.

   Now he knows the real reason why he disguised himself as a woman. I'm afraid it was all because of the fire that broke out more than ten years ago.

  If the guess is correct, the Aso family may not have committed suicide at all, so the head of Heiyan Village only looked frightened before they died...

   Gao Cheng gripped Lake Toya with a wooden knife and followed the old policeman into the lobby of the village office. Inside, Mugure was interrogating a group of people.

   Asai's suspicion has been naturally ruled out, and only Masato Shimizu, Nishimoto, Hirata, and Reiko's fiance were suspected on Monday.

   As for the code message of the music score, Conan hasn't been stumped for too long. This guy just doesn't know enough about the piano.

   After repeating the deciphered message to everyone, Conan's eyes fell on Gao Cheng who was following the old policeman, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

   "It's him! It must be him!" Nishimoto immediately yelled in horror after knowing the score information, "That guy is still alive... Aso Keiji is still alive!"

   "He is indeed dead!" the old policeman said, "The bones and teeth shapes found at the fire scene were also compared. It is absolutely correct that they belonged to the family."

   The old policeman recalled the tragedy and sighed: "Everything was burned down at the time, only the music scores in the fireproof safe..."

   "Music, sheet music?!" Everyone present was startled.

   "Where are those scores now?" Maori asked anxiously.

  The old policeman slowly thought back: "In the warehouse of the public hall...but the key to the warehouse is in the police station, haha..."

   "Then you don't hurry up and get it?!" Megure shouted with a black face, "Go!"

   "Ah...Yes!" The old policeman was startled and hurried out of the village office.

   "Wait a minute, I'll go with you too!" Conan thought of something, and hurriedly chased him out.

   On the night road to the police station, Conan followed the old policeman and pretended to chat as usual and asked, "Is Mr. Aso really let go and burn his family?"

"Well, because it was the former head of the village, Mr. Kameyama, as well as the head of Heiyan, Mr. Nishimoto, and Mr. Kawashima, they saw it," the old policeman nodded, and was stunned, before reacting, "The little brother before this question. I also asked about it, and asked about my son, Mr. Aso..."

   "What?!" Conan was startled, and suddenly thought of Gao Cheng's weird look after reading the sheet music before, "Jioto... Did Brother Gao Cheng say anything?"

  ...

   Village Office, Gao Cheng alone called Asai Narumi outside.

   "Kito-kun, what's the matter?" Asai Narumi looked at Gao Cheng's back with uncertainty.

   "Doctor Cheng Shi, did you send me that letter of authorization? In the name of your deceased father..."

   Takasei turned to face Asai Narumi: "I have solved the case this time, including why you killed those people, and why Mr. Nishimoto was so scared."

   Asai Chengji's face changed, and he looked at Gao Cheng silently. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

"There was nothing wrong with Mr. Kawashima before he died, but," Gao Cheng said solemnly, "When it was the turn of the village chief, Heiyan, you showed a big flaw, that is blood stains. It was definitely not only five minutes later. It looks like, I think it’s probably using the automatic turning device of the broadcasting station... The tape is played from the blank side at the beginning, and after the automatic turning, it will give you more than 30 minutes of time..."

Gao Cheng glanced at the silent Asai Chengmi, and continued: "I want to hide from the police here. You were the only one who was doing the post-mortem work at that time. The reason why Mr. Kawashima was drowned and moved to the piano room, I think is also to support A post-mortem staff, as a doctor, you know the process of the post-mortem, deliberately let the post-mortem take Mr. Kawashima's body back to Tokyo for anatomy..."

   "Actually, I knew you were a man from the beginning, but I didn't expect you to be Mr. Aso's son."

Gao Cheng looked up at the full moon in the night sky. He thought of Taeko Dougaki in the previous case, and the curator of Ochiai in the art museum incident...Even the murderers are not necessarily bad guys, so Asai Narumi found him and Mori. Kogoro, I am afraid that someone can stop him.

   "Go surrender, Dr. Cheng Shi."

   A surprised look flashed across Asai's face: "Aren't you handing me over to the police?"

   He had heard of the competition between Kosei and Kogoro Mouri before, this time it was a good opportunity to suppress Kogoro Mouri...

   Seeing that Gao Cheng didn't respond, Asai Narumi smiled bitterly: "You are really a great detective, Kioto-kun. I thought it was not so fast, at least Mr. Mori didn't doubt it at all."

   "Although I don't know what happened to Mr. Aso that year," Gao Cheng turned and left, "I will find out the truth, let Nishimoto get the punishment he deserves, and bet on my reputation as a detective."
