Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 499 The Last Ring of Counterattack

Between ceremonies, the red carpet was rolled up, and the secret door opened to reveal the stairs leading to the basement, which could be seen soaking with seeping groundwater.

Huo Sixiao just lay upside down on the steps, his head submerged in groundwater.

At first, everyone searched all over the villa, but found a cursed puppet that was upside down in the sink by the courtyard, exactly the same as Huo Sixiao.

Gao Cheng stood behind the crowd with his hands in his hands, Huo Sixiao's young wife was already in tears, Huo Si Xingzi, the only survivor of the Huo Si family, also knelt down on the floor in grief, Izawa Kentaro was anxious while comforting him. Sweating.

The third murder, is it over?

Gao Cheng calmly glanced at everyone present.

Huo Sixiao's wife, Huo Si Xingzi...the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly Huo Si Xingzi, his adoptive father and brothers were killed, almost the entire Huo Si family fell into the hands of Huo Si Xingzi.

"Officer," a police officer came and reported to the horse face officer during the ceremony, "the black melon ghost door was not found, and people living nearby said that when Huo Sixiao disappeared, a taxi happened to drive away , It should be the last Shinkansen back to Tokyo, I have already contacted Tokyo, they will be responsible for finding someone..."

The horse-faced police officer frowned tightly: "Leave at this time, that guy should have something to do with the case, is he the murderer?"

"His alibi is quite sufficient," the policeman shook his head, and took out an envelope, "but we found this in his room, it seems to be left for Detective Kido,"

"Leave it to me?"

Gao Cheng took the envelope, and indeed saw the words written in strange handwriting on it.

"To Detective Kido..."

"I have sowed the seeds, and my puppet will realize the perfect artistic crime, good luck, detective-kun..."

Gao Cheng read the note in the envelope silently, and passed it to the horse-faced police officer next to him.

His feeling was right, as expected, Gao Yuanyao intervened in this incident, and even found a substitute to attract his attention.

The horse-faced police officer looked at Gao Cheng, didn't ask any further questions, and turned to the people around him and asked, "Does everyone know about this basement?"

Secretary Kaizaki nodded and said, "Yes,

Anyone who has been to this grape shop, from maids to electrical stores, knows it. "

"Ah, this is troublesome..."

"Officer," Gao Cheng said suddenly, "Let's look at the surveillance video again, there may be clues we missed..."

"it is good."

The horse-faced police officer looked at Gao Cheng curiously.

At the beginning, I also heard some rumors about this famous Tokyo detective, but I really became interested in it through the introduction of Yamato Kansuke. He is a young detective who looks ordinary but can surprise people at critical moments.

I heard that he has developed a detective agency that was on the verge of bankruptcy by himself. He has great popularity in the Metropolitan Police Department. He has even participated in several police joint operations and fought against many high-intelligence criminals. In the end, they all caught the murderers. There is a title of "Kidd's nemesis".

...

In the monitoring room, Gao Cheng took Xiaoqiao and Izawa to sit in front of the computer, and found the surveillance video between the rituals during the time when Huo Sixiao was killed.

The picture of the windows between the ceremonies was still taken from the main building. The murderer carefully closed the curtains, without giving any chance to the surveillance, only a hand pulling the curtains could be seen.

Xiaoqiao Xianjian stared at the screen closely: "The magic lamp is not turned on, so you can't see the movement inside... The murderer must have closed the curtains first, then moved the unconscious President Xiao into the room, and finally pushed him to the ground President Akatsuki drowned on the stairs, and if only one hand was exposed, it would be hard to know who the murderer was..."

"Beep!" Before Xiaoqiao finished speaking, the monitoring suddenly cut off and the screen was lost.

"Strange," Kentaro Izawa helped switch the screen, frowning, "Maybe it was a malfunction before, the cameras here are all very early models, and it is easy to have problems in thunderstorms, but even if they are not broken, you can't take pictures. .”

"No way," the horse-faced police officer said disappointedly, "The murderer is too careful, let's go here first today..."

"Well," the maid Koizumi stood outside the door hesitantly, "is today's tea party going to continue?"

The horse-faced police officer shook his head: "So many things happened, that black melon left again, I see..."

"Let's continue the tea party, officer," Gao Cheng interrupted, "by then, the investigation on Miss Xingzi should have results..."

Izawa clenched his fist and looked at Gao Cheng: "Senior Kido, do you still think Hoshiko is the murderer?"

"Don't worry, I just want to have a good talk with Ms. Xingzi." Gao Cheng patted Izawa on the shoulder, "If she is not the murderer, I will never wrong her."

"But……"

"That's it," the horse-faced police officer said cautiously, "Miss Xingzi, our police are only conducting a secret investigation, and this is also for the sake of Miss Xingzi. After all, the victims are all members of the Huosi family. A clear investigation can protect Miss Xingzi. .”

Everyone walked out of the monitoring room one after another, and Kentaro Izawa could only loosen his fist weakly, nodded to Gaocheng who was still sitting in front of the monitoring screen, and left with a sigh.

"I'm going to see Xingzi..."

"If you can, don't talk about the police investigation."

"Well, I don't want Hoshiko to be sad either." Izawa Kentaro looked gloomy, but after turning around, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

No matter how much investigation is done now, it will be futile, and the so-called famous detective will instead become an important tool in multiple methods...

Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and calmly watched Izawa walk out of the monitoring room.

Gao Yuanyao said that this case was a perfect crime, but it is impossible to have an absolute perfect crime in this world, just to see if he can find a flaw.

If there is anything else that he overlooked, it is the Izawa Kentaro who came to him. Although it was through the middle relationship of Xiaoqiao, it was too coincidental, and because of this important relationship, he subconsciously ignored Izawa. The possibility of Ze committing a crime.

In the face of Gao Yuanyaoyi, who has a terrible IQ, he must break through the inherent thinking, and not be influenced by preconceived ideas...

Returning to the monitoring screen, Gao Cheng called up the monitoring again last night when Huo Si Jiu Yao was killed.

There is no problem with the time of Huo Si Jiuyao's death. It should be some time before the tea party. The remaining problem is the layout of the murder scene. If it is during the time when the magic lamp is turned off, then the only person who may commit the crime is Huo Si Xingzi...

Gao Cheng crossed his fingers and continued to fast-forward to check the surveillance video. When the time advanced to close to 3:00 in the morning, he clicked pause and went back to check again.

The backside of the magic lamp did not go out again, but at around 2:46 in the morning, the lights flickered twice during the ceremony, and the slow down seemed very obvious.

What method did the murderer use? He didn't pull out the plug of the magic lamp when setting up the murder scene...

Gao Cheng's eyes were fixed, so everyone's alibi was invalid.

Found a flaw!

The murderer's next target, the last link of the perfect crime, is Huosi Xingzi.
