Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 720 Provocation

"By the way, Kido," the fat police officer Chiba seemed to have thought of something, and leaned over to Gao Cheng's side and said solemnly, "If there is nothing wrong with this photo, Enomoto Sugito might really be innocent. I went to the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Station to get the search materials, but the expressway was blocked due to heavy snow, and the time was also between 22:00 and 23:00..."

"Really?" Gao Cheng raised his head, indicating that he understood the situation

"Ding dong!"

At this time, the doorbell of the apartment suddenly rang, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Gao Mu felt that Gao Cheng seemed to have discovered something, and he wanted to ask something, but now he had to be vigilant: "Did someone agree to come to visit?"

Azusa Enomoto also shook her head in doubt: "No..."

"Could it be..."

Takagi was doubting, and Mori Kogoro next to him had already pushed open the door first, but he only saw a courier standing outside, and he was obviously taken aback.

"Hi, hello," the courier looked in surprise at Kogoro Mori and the policemen Takagi who were watching intently inside the house, "What's wrong with your package...?"

Gao Cheng crossed Takagi and Chiba, and asked the courier, "Who delivered the package?"

"It says Sugito Enomoto..."

The courier confusedly handed over a square gift box with a beautiful bow tied with a ribbon, and Takagi took the box before he wanted to say anything.

"Miss Azi," Takagi turned around and asked, "Is it okay to take it apart and have a look?"

"Okay, I'll get the scissors!"

Azusa Enomoto was very worried about his brother, and wanted to prove his innocence even more, so he quickly cut the ribbon with scissors, but Takagi opened the box and found that there was only a gift box of fancy cookies inside.

It's really strange to send cookies at this time, no one understands what it means.

According to the police's plan, Sugito Enomoto threw his wallet and credit cards in the apartment room. He should not last long and contact his sister because he ran out of money.

But what message can a small box of cookies convey?

"Miss Azusa, does the cookie have any special meaning?" Mouri Kogoro, who couldn't figure it out, wanted to ask Enomoto Azusa directly,

Seeing Azusa Enomoto's back turned silent, he couldn't help asking again, "Miss Azusa?"

"Huh? Probably because I like to eat, I brought it here..."

Azusa Enomoto came back to her senses, packed up the wrapping paper on the table and threw it into the trash can, put on her coat again and said, "My brother is always like this, really... By the way, police officer, I'm going to the nearby supermarket to buy something to eat Yes, do you want to come with me?"

"Ah," Takagi was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed up, "Of course..."

Gao Chenggong stood on the side, watching Takagi foolishly follow out, did not make a sound, just picked up the wrapping paper in the trash can and looked at it, Moori Kogoro and Chiba who were also left behind were puzzled around the heater Sitting down, although it hasn’t snowed in Tokyo yet, it’s already terribly cold at night, and it’s only November.

"I still don't understand," Chiba struggled, "Why did Enomoto Sugito not find a way to contact his sister, but instead send some cookies?"

"Didn't you say that Mr. Sugito always likes to give strange gifts?" Mori Kogoro put one hand on his chin without thinking too much, and said a little sleepily, "If you know that your sister may be under police surveillance, will you still contact me?"

"Actually, I have already contacted, although I don't know if it is me..."

Gao Cheng picked out the ribbon that was used to tie the bow just now from the trash, put it on the stove and said with a smile, "Miss A Zi probably saw this before going out."

On the ribbon was written "Vacant Warehouse at 3-chome 4, Okuhocho", which immediately stimulated Chiba and Uncle Mori, and the two looked confused: "How can there be information here?"

"Because Sugimoto Enomoto didn't tie bows in his gifts in the past, Ms. Azi will definitely be surprised when she sees them. Under the surveillance of the police, it's very clever to convey information like this. It's really unexpected for the two brothers and sisters who are not familiar with each other..."

When Gao Cheng saw the information, his speculation became more certain.

Since the other party did this, he knew that Miss Azusa was under surveillance, so it shouldn't be Sugimoto Enomoto who thought so meticulously, but Toji Kawase.

The purpose of doing this... I am afraid that the real murderer is planning to deal with the aftermath. In theory, Miss Azi's life will not be in danger, but Sugito Enomoto is likely to commit suicide.

Thinking of Toji Kawase who was passing by, Gao Cheng reminded: "Officer Takagi may not be able to see Ms. Azi anymore, so let's go to the warehouse in advance, the real culprit and Sugito Enomoto should be there."

"The real murderer?" Qianye was stunned, "How could Takagi not even look down on a woman..."

"Beep beep!" Before the words could finish, Qianye's cell phone rang.

After answering the phone in a daze and listening for a while, Chiba's fat face trembled slightly, and she met the gazes of Gao Cheng and Uncle Mao Li.

"Miss Azi... ran away, said to go to the inner wardrobe of the supermarket, and then ran away through the back door..."

"Sure enough, I saw the information." Gao Cheng was not too surprised, but it was strange that Enomoto Azusa wanted to go out suddenly, and he still asked the honest Takagi to follow.

But it doesn't matter, the police will definitely rush to the vacant warehouse before Azusa Enomoto. After seeing through Toji Kawase's calculations, there are some ways to rectify it.

Gao Mu was out of breath when he returned to the apartment. Although he ran around the supermarket, he still couldn't find anyone. When he faced the crowd again, he said embarrassingly: "She said she was going to the underwear counter, and I planned to follow, but she said It doesn't matter if you go along, don't stare at her when choosing underwear...or look at me with a blushing embarrassment..."

Gao Cheng patted Gao Mu on the shoulder, and said nothing.

"Don't worry, we already know where she's going, and Officer Sato took her there first, the real criminal can't escape."

"The real criminal?"

"Enomoto Sugito should have been in Kanagawa yesterday, that's right. The prisoner probably knew that he sent a photo to Ms. Azusa, so he wanted to ask Ms. Azusa to destroy the evidence..."

Takagi was not stupid, and immediately reacted when he heard the words: "Could it be that Sugito Enomoto was framed by the real murderer?"

"Yes, and the real culprit is someone close to Sugito Enomoto," Gao Cheng said bluntly, "Sugito Enomoto's absconding was designed by this person from the very beginning, including the blood-stained shirt, and even the shirt at Poirot's coffee shop." At that time, I accidentally slipped my mouth and said that only the police, the first discoverer and the murderer knew the way to kill."

...

As a result, Gao Cheng was not kept waiting for too long. Originally, he did not participate in person just in case, but the police officer Sato was also very good. He led the team to solve the case at once and successfully caught Sugito Enomoto who was about to force Sugito to commit suicide. Toji Kawase.

"It's a pity that we didn't catch that prophet," Takagi said regretfully, "Toji Kawase also said that he didn't know any prophets, and the reason why he killed him was because he embezzled public funds and lost 100 million in stocks, and was finally discovered by Mr. Torihira ...do you really have the ability to predict?"

"I don't believe in predictions." Gao Cheng looked broadly, and the pressure in his heart was reduced a lot. "At least this time the prediction is wrong. Although the murder weapon is a rifle, the way of killing is not shooting..."

Takagi was still very worried: "That's right, but what is the purpose of the other party? To provoke the police?"

"I don't know. If there is any purpose, it will be exposed soon."

Gao Cheng has already received the investigation email from Xiao Ai. Several prisoners have left traces on the Internet. Although there is nothing abnormal, it still provides a possibility.

The "Prophet" is likely to be an expert in information gathering.

I really don't have much impression of this kind of role, but he has been active in this world for so long, and even the detective agency has opened to the United States, so it's normal to have some influence.

Gao Cheng had a feeling that the other party was targeting him rather than provoking the police.
