Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"Is anyone injured?" a firefighter asked.

"Yes," replied the housekeeper, "ma'am she was burned."

"Then please go to the hospital for treatment," the firefighter pointed to the car parked nearby, "the ambulance is here..."

"I don't want it!!" The fat woman looked at the ambulance as if she saw a monster, and hid behind hysterically, "I won't go!!"

"But……"

"I'm sorry," Mr. Tiaoichiro walked over, "don't make things difficult for her. A year ago, my son Jiang who fell from the balcony got into an ambulance and never came back again... Xuanyin's injuries are not serious. Can't I trouble you to help her treat her at my home?"

"Huh? Okay."

The firefighters had no choice but to follow into the building first.

"Master Xiangfu," the housekeeper asked concerned from behind, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Yu He Xiangfu smiled at the housekeeper, "Can you stop calling me young master? That was already 30 years ago."

Gao Cheng was at the back, and asked Shile Lianxi softly, "Your housekeeper seems to have a good relationship with Mr. Xiangfu."

"Because the housekeeper Jinqu originally worked at Uncle Kyosuke's house," Renxi Shirara explained, "but because of the robbery incident 30 years ago, Uncle Kyosuke's parents passed away, and Uncle Kyosuke inherited his mother's family from Haga's house." The family business, she came to replace the job of our elderly housekeeper..."

Xiaolan was surprised: "Didn't Mr. Xiangfu's father be the only one killed in that robbery incident?"

Shile Lianxi sighed and looked at the cheerful Healing Kyosuke in front of him: "Grandma Qianbo was originally weak due to illness, and took care of Grandpa Dan Erlang who was seriously injured and unconscious all night, but she was overworked and passed away before Grandpa Dan Erlang... "

Gao Cheng didn't follow back to the main building, but frowned and looked at the busy firefighters on the other side, and several team members in fireproof suits just came out.

"Detective Kido, the cause of the fire has been found." Two firefighters walked towards Gao Cheng. "It should be related to smoking on the bed. The source of the fire is near the ashtray in the room where the body was found..."

"Since the door is locked from the inside, it shouldn't be arson. It seems that you, a great detective, don't need to go out."

"The source of the fire is in that room?" Gao Cheng glanced at the second floor of the annex, and smiled politely, "Can you take me to the scene again?"

"Yes, but yes..." The firefighters looked at each other in blank dismay.

...

In the banquet hall of the hotel, everyone sat around the table and talked about the curse of Stradivari.

"Of course Grandpa Xiansaburo also used that violin..."

Shile Lianxi's complexion is still not very good: "Two years ago, because my mother divorced my father and returned to her natal family, when Grandpa Xian Saburo's wife, Grandma Yongmei, played at the birthday party, in order to comfort my father, she used The most important thing is Stradivari who has been sealed for 30 years..."

"Sealed for 30 years?"

"Well, 30 years ago, my father was only 18 years old. When he borrowed this famous piano to participate in the competition, because the strings broke several times during the performance, he didn't even enter the rematch..."

There was a trace of shock on Shile Lianxi's face.

"Afterwards, Grandma Yongmei, who was supposed to show the beautiful tone of this violin on TV music programs, suddenly fell ill with a high fever before the performance, and Grandpa Xian Saburo, who was preparing for an overseas exam, died of excessive contact with this violin. Tendonitis...

"Then, 30 years after the seal, Grandma Yongmei fell to her death two years ago, and her father who also played the violin a year ago..."

Xiaolan felt cold all over when she was told, "Sure enough, she was cursed..."

"It's indeed a scary coincidence," Uncle Mao Li swallowed, and wrote the relationship between the Shitura family in his notebook with a cigarette in his mouth. Mr. Kyosuke's father, there are 4 people in total..."

The more I look at the uncle, the more hairy I feel.

"Maybe Shitura is really cursed. I think Mr. Tiaoichiro's birthday party should not be held tomorrow, right?"

"I'm afraid it can't be done," Kayosuke Haga said, "The doctor said that according to Uncle Tiaoichiro's physical condition, he can only live for half a year at most..."

"This, is this so?"

"So I was going to celebrate at least today..."

"Impossible," the housekeeper interrupted when she walked into the banquet hall, "Master has already returned to the bedroom, so don't disturb him before breakfast tomorrow, and Madam's treatment is over, she has gone back to her room to rest..."

"We're not going to do it today?" Uncle Mao Li was stunned for a moment, then stubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said, "In this case, let's say goodbye first... Eh? Is Kido kid still in the annex?"

In the annex full of puddles, Gao Cheng walked around the scene of the fire with his hands in his hands, paused, and then borrowed gloves from the firefighters to check, and picked up some twisted locks in the dripping room.

It was a lock that was knocked off the door frame when we broke into the door. It was a very ordinary doorknob with safety style.

Gao Cheng stood up and looked again at the ashtray soaked in water on the table, there were still a few cigarette butts floating in it.

He said that he fell asleep while smoking and caught fire, but that would only be confirmed if this was a real secret room. Judging from the several serial murders that happened in Shilejia, he didn't believe it was just an accidental fire.

"What is this?" A firefighter found a charred box, "There is nothing in it..."

"It's the box for the baton," Conan entered the room, "because Genzaburo-san is the conductor of the symphony orchestra, right, Kido-san?"

"Conan?" Gao Cheng looked back at Conan unexpectedly, and found that Uncle Mao Li and his party had followed.

"Actually, Mr. Genzaburo stayed in the banquet hall of the main building for a while," Conan said in a tone of voice when he walked to the ashtray, "so there are also cigarette butts he smoked there, but the ones in the annex are different from those over there. The cigarette butts here have no tooth marks..."

Conan looked at the cigarette butts soaked in the water, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and looked at Gao Chengdao seriously: "Brother Kido also found out, right? Danjirou, who was killed by robbers 30 years ago, came down from the stairs two years ago. Yongmei (emi) who fell to death, Mr. Furuto (furuto) who fell from the balcony a year ago, and Genzaburou (genzaburou) who died in the fire today... Their fame begins with the English alphabet DEFG, and They all died on the day of the birthday party, maybe this is a serial murder case..."

"Serial killings?" Without waiting for Gao Cheng to respond, the uncle Mao Li who came with him frowned, "You little brat likes to talk nonsense. Although it seems that there is a connection, it must be a coincidence..."

"Wait, wait a minute, Dad!" Xiaolan panicked, "For DEFG, isn't the next one H? The first letter of the initials is H, it's Lianxi (hasuki)..."

"Miss Lianxi?" The uncle finally changed his face, turned around and found that Shile Lianxi hadn't come, and hurriedly asked the housekeeper behind him, "Where is Miss Lianxi?"

"Miss usually takes a bath at this time, so it should be..."
