Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 436 The Sixth Victim

As the time approached 9 o'clock, everyone in the teahouse went to the toilet one after another, and only Uncle Mao Li continued to enjoy himself tirelessly.

Gao Changchang yawned for a long time, and was thinking about finding a room to rest when a shout came from downstairs.

"Come on! Come on!"

"What's wrong?"

Uncle Mao Li took the lead downstairs and followed the sound to find the proprietress of the tea house at the door of the basement warehouse.

"What happened?"

"Sakura, Mr. Sakura, he..."

Gao Cheng followed behind and looked into the warehouse, his gaze shrank suddenly.

The former smooth ancient art dealer Ying Zhengzo now lay coldly on his back on the floor, his eyes wide open, his carotid artery was cut and blood flowed all over the floor.

"The method is really neat," Hattori glanced at Gaocheng and Conan, squatted beside the corpse and said, "This may be the same person as the recent murder..."

Gao Cheng didn't speak, and looked at the messy warehouse after sweeping over Ying Zhengzo's body.

Things were turned into a mess, it looked like Sakura Masazo was attacked from behind while looking for things, and the buttons of his suit were roughly ripped off, and the wallet full of banknotes was left on his body...

"Why did Mr. Sakura come here?"

"I don't know either," the proprietress was terrified, "I have been keeping accounts in the room on the first floor, and then I wanted to wake up Mr. Sakura at 9 o'clock, but Mr. Sakura was not in the room, which happened to be in the basement warehouse. There is light on the edge..."

Uncle Mao Li stood up from the corpse and faced the people outside the warehouse: "It seems that Mr. Sakura was killed while looking for something in the warehouse. Please wait in the tea room above before the police arrive. No one can leave. here."

"it is good."

Upon hearing the words, Long Yuan and the others went upstairs one after another, Gao Cheng quickly asked: "Excuse me, does Mr. Ying also have a copy of "Yi Jing Ji"?"

"Ah?" Saijo was stunned, "He did say that he also has a Yoshitsune, because he is very interested in Yoshitsune and Benkei..."

Uncle Mori wondered: "Kido Kido, don't you think that Mr. Sakura is also a member of Genji Hotaru?"

"It is very likely that

Gao Cheng looked at the people leaving, "And the murderer is among these people..."

"Hmph, it's not impossible that someone outside did it..."

"If someone enters the tea house, the proprietress can't be unaware."

"Maybe I didn't notice it?" The uncle grabbed Conan who was checking the corpse angrily, "Stinky boy, don't touch the corpse! How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?!"

"it hurts!"

"Uncle," Gao Cheng took down a bunch of keys from Sakura Masao, "I think it's best to go to Mr. Sakura's antique shop first..."

Uncle Mao Li stared: "Stinky boy, how can you mess around, you should wait for the police now..."

"This is fine, right? Since it may be the case of Genji Hotaru, I should hurry up and investigate, lest there be any accidents..."

Gao Cheng smiled lightly and took out the case certificate of the Police Department, when he suddenly heard the voices of the proprietress and the police upstairs.

"I'm Officer Ayanokōji from the Kyoto Prefectural Police Station."

"Thank you for your hard work, please come in..."

Gao Cheng walked up the stairs, and sure enough, he saw the upturned-eyed Ayanokoji leading two police officers into the tea house.

Coming so fast, shouldn't this guy be guarding this side from the beginning?

"Hmph," Ling Xiaolu also noticed Gao Cheng, left a police officer to guard the door, and walked towards the basement stairs, "No matter what your plan is, since you have arrived in Kyoto, you should regard me as a police officer in Kyoto as your leader." host……"

"You haven't been staring at me, have you? It came really fast..." Gao Cheng's mouth twitched, "Where's your pet squirrel?"

"I don't take it out every day!"

Ayanokouji entered the basement warehouse with a straight face, and Hattori was taken aback for a while.

"Kito, is this guy your partner this time?"

"That's right," Gao Cheng said helplessly, "Although it's weird, I've heard that he's also a capable police officer...Forget it, let's go to that antique shop first and then talk about it."

With the arrival of the follow-up police force, the entire tea house was searched, including all the people in the tea house, but the most important murder weapon was not found until the end.

The only possibility is that the murderer threw the murder weapon into the river outside through the transom window in the basement, but after the police searched, nothing was found in the river, and Xiaolan and the others were on the terrace all the time, and did not see anything below Suspicious person, no witnesses were found on the opposite embankment.

On Teramachi Road, Gaocheng took the key, Hattori and Conan to the antique art shop of Sakura Shozo.

There is nothing special about the antique works of art, but I found a copy of "Yijing Ji" in the office.

"Kiroto," Conan said in surprise as he flipped through "Yoshitsuki", "Ise Saburo is written on it, and there is a piece of photocopied paper in the middle..."

Hattori followed suit: "This piece of paper is a photocopy of the treasure map... I see, Mr. Sakura is very likely to be Ise Saburo, one of the survivors of Genji Hotaru. The murderer searched for this blueprint from the tea house." It’s just that Mr. Sakura still has a photocopy left in the store.”

Gao Cheng leaned on the shelf next to him, watching Conan's two analyzes comfortably.

The case this time is considered a major case, and it was already recognized by the system when it was entrusted by the police. Now, at least you can do everything with peace of mind, although sometimes it is not very reliable...

"I'm talking about Kido," Hattori looked at the lazy Gao Cheng with a dark face, "Tell me, do you have any clues about the murderer?"

"Don't you all have a bottom line? If the proprietress has no problems, it is doubtful that Xitiao Dahe, Longyuan and Shuiwei who went to the toilet at that time..." Gao Cheng rubbed his chin and said, "But the strange thing is that Shuiwei When Mr. went to the bathroom, Miss Qian Heling went with him..."

"The dancer seems to be able to do this. The reason why I didn't accompany Mr. Saijo and Mr. Longyuan should be because I was playing games with the uncle at that time."

"yes?"

The images of Saijo and the others appeared in Gaocheng's mind.

"These guys have all learned kendo, but they just don't know how good they are... The most important thing now is to find the missing murder weapon first, and first determine whether someone from outside committed the crime or whether there are any accomplices."

"You're right," Hattori said helplessly, "We can only see if your strange partner, the police officer, can find any clues..."

"I'm not some strange partner police officer," Ayanokōji walked into the office with a straight face, and glanced at Gao Chengdao, "We have already searched the warehouse, and many of them are art works stolen by Genji Hotaru in the past."

"Officer Ayanokoji?" Gao Cheng asked in surprise when he saw Ayanokoji, "Has the tea house been investigated yet? What about Mr. Saijo?"

"I've already gone back, after all, I couldn't find the murder weapon." Ling Xiaolu turned and walked out of the office, and suddenly looked back at Gao Chengdao, "Detective Kido, remember to contact me if you have any clues."

"it is good."

Gao Cheng followed and walked out of the office.

Sakura Shozo is undoubtedly one of Genji Hotaru's members, and he should be the one who handles the stolen goods. If this guy is added, 6 people have already died, which is really weird.

Did the murderer have a feud with Genji Hotaru, or was the murderer for the main Buddha statue that was stolen from Sannoji Temple?

The remaining ones that have not been confirmed are Yoshitsune, the leader of Minamoto Hotaru, and another named Benkei. I just don’t know what happened to the letter sent to Sannoji.
