Stay away from Conan

"Didn't you find anything?"

Listening to Henggou Zhenwu's words, Gao Yuan was still a little surprised when he learned that the police found nothing in the woods near the scene. At the same time, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little confused as various speculations put forward by Henggou Zhenwu appeared. ——

No, I'm still too uncool.

After focusing entirely on Michowaki Masahiko, he had never even thought about this possibility.

I originally thought that if the murderer was Masahiko Michowaki, then no matter how long it took to commit the crime, it would be impossible for Masahiko Michowaki to dispose of all the evidence.

But now that no evidence can be found near the scene, I don't know what to do.

Originally, clues like footprints were already because Masahiko Michowaki was the first discoverer of the case. His footprints appearing at the scene were so normal that they no longer had any reference value, so the only thing that could be counted on was other physical evidence.

But if not...

It took ten minutes to complete the crime. Gao Yuan already felt that because there were too many uncertain factors, it was impossible for Masahiko Michowaki to complete the crime. Then, plus the physical evidence had to be disposed of, ten minutes would not be enough. …

Really, did I think wrong...

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan felt that he really needed to calm down——

This is no longer a completely original story!

All the plot clues from the original work may be useful, but they may not be useful, and you have to sort out all the information again.

But Gao Yuan's preconceived notions prevent him from remaining neutral now...

——"By the way, are there any results from Orimoto Chiharu's autopsy?"

At present, if the murderer of the incident is not Masahiko Michowaki, but someone else, whether it is Masahiko Michowaki's accomplice or a pure imitator who imitates the murder, then the whereabouts of the person are currently unknown.

If the truth is that someone was looking for brown-haired women to kill randomly at a fireworks display, then the current clues are not enough at all. More clues are needed to identify the suspect's characteristics, and then launch a large-scale search——

Then, this is not the area that detectives are good at...

If this is the case, then a more professional post-mortem investigation on the body will be the main source of clues, so Gao Yuan asked this question.

When hearing Gao Yuan's question, Henggou couldn't help but say:

"Not yet. Because the case has reached a deadlock, the department's autopsy experts have just been called over. If we want to have specific autopsy results, we have to wait until dawn at least."

"That's it..."

After hearing this answer, Gao Yuan nodded silently——

The number of professional forensic doctors in Japan is very small, and even less than half of the prefectures are equipped with only one autopsy expert. Even if there is an unnatural death, more than 80% of the remains will not undergo autopsy.

And this is a fact that Gao Yuan knows very well.

At the same time, it was also the most important basis for his plan to fake his own death and escape after he came to this world——

I believe that in the small rural area of ​​Shikoku Island, it is impossible to conduct a detailed autopsy on the deceased in the fire.

In this case, with no autopsy results and no other clues at the crime scene, Gao Yuan can't make any more judgments. In addition, he can't make an unbiased judgment calmly at this time. Gao Yuan thinks it's better to just make the decision first. Go back and rest——

In any case, if the murderer is really a serial murderer who specializes in killing brown-haired women, then Xiao Ai and Zhu Yu who are with him also need to ensure their safety.

For this reason, Gao Yuan had no choice but to enlighten Henggou:

"Well, Henggou Police Department, I don't have any better ideas now, so I'll go back and rest first."

"It's okay. This kind of investigation still depends on our police!"

In response to Gao Yuan's remarks, Henggou nodded in response, silently ignoring Gao Yuan's suggestion to go back to rest first. At the same time, his impression of Gao Yuan was once again inferior to that of Mouri Kogoro——

Sure enough, it would still be impossible without the Maori detective...

Gao Yuan, after receiving Henggou's answer, nodded silently, then turned and walked to the hotel, and took the elevator back to the 19th floor where he lived.

However, when the elevator door that Gao Yuan was riding opened after reaching the 19th floor, in the elevator opposite the door, Xiaolan's figure just walked out of the elevator——

"Miss Xiaolan?"

Somewhat unexpectedly, seeing Xiaolan actually take the elevator down at this time, Gao Yuan clearly noticed Xiaolan's face full of worries and couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong? Conan has gone back just now, right?"

Because he asked Conan to help with the investigation, Conan didn't go back until just now. It is understandable that Xiaolan would be worried about Conan. This is one of the reasons why Xiaolan is worried about what Gao Yuan can think of.

Moreover, Xiaolan was sitting on the floor below the 19th floor, so there was a high probability that she was looking for her.

Listening to Gao Yuan's response, Xiaolan shook her head and said hesitantly:

"No...I saw Conan go back. But, I just..."

As she said that, Xiaolan lowered her head, thinking deeply, and seemed to be still hesitating whether she should ask Gao Yuan. After hesitating for a while, Xiaolan looked a little solemn and said:

"That person...'Night Baron'... he... effortlessly..."

"So that's what happened."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan suddenly realized what Xiaolan was hesitating about.

But it's no wonder that the identity of the "Night Baron" who appeared outside the elevator at that time was still kept secret. It was inevitable that Xiaolan didn't know and was worried.

"Why?"

So, when Xiaolan saw Gao Yuan respond calmly, she looked at Gao Yuan in surprise.

And Gao Yuan quickly said:

"I've known it for a long time. But don't worry, neither Mr. Maeda nor Miss Sayama has anything to do with the incident. This... I can guarantee!"

——What's wrong? Why do you hesitate in a place like this?

Because the Chiharu Orimoto incident could not prove all the suspicions of Masahiko Michowaki, this made Takato inevitably doubt the information in the original work, and even began to doubt whether the original information about Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama in the "Night Baron" incident was true. Nothing to do with the incident.

Therefore, Gao Yuan hesitated in his answer just now, but in the end, looking at Xiaolan's expression, he firmly affirmed, telling Xiaolan not to worry.

But judging from the current situation, the plot has greatly deviated. The two events in the original work seem to be entangled at this moment, and huge changes have taken place, which makes me inevitably overwhelmed.

Coupled with the failure of the investigation, Gao Yuan felt very tired.

So, after seeing Xiaolan smile again because of his words, and watching Xiaolan get on the elevator and return, Gao Yuan returned to Room 1902 where he lived with a heavy heart——

At this time, there was only a night light on in the hall of the room, and the door to the bedroom had been closed. I guess Xiao Ai and Tie Zhuyu were already resting in the bedroom.

In this regard, looking at the empty hall at this time, although Gao Yuan was tired, he was not sleepy at all——

After all, this incident is really disturbing...

Brown-haired female victim...

Silently, he glanced at the closed bedroom door. Gao Yuan did not think about opening the door or knocking to confirm anything, for fear of disturbing them. Then, Gao Yuan quietly walked to the balcony, put his hands on the railings, and looked out into the distance. Looking at the night view of the seaside and facing the strong wind from the high-rise, with a solemn expression, I wanted to let my brain relax...

——"You...don't sleep?"

After an unknown amount of time, the bedroom door was opened, and a petite figure dressed in sleepy clothes walked out of the bedroom. He saw Gao Yuan, who was blowing in the wind on the balcony and seemed to be very preoccupied, and couldn't help but wonder. ——

It's Xiao Ai.

After saying this, seeing Gao Yuan motionless as if he hadn't heard anything, Xiao Ai was puzzled and couldn't help but slowly walked to the balcony, stood beside Gao Yuan, and looked thoughtfully at the man with a solemn expression. lofty--

Then, I couldn’t help but say:

"What's wrong? Are you worried?"
