Be the god of death in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 128 Standby at the Stairway.jpg
The Boy Detective Team followed the path pointed by Matsui and rushed into the monitoring room.

This was supposed to be a dead end, but from going out to now, Conan has not seen the murderer Gomera.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had missed a fork in the road. At this moment, Ayumi suddenly pointed at the huge glass window and exclaimed, "Why is there someone in the building?"

The other three followed her direction and saw that Kamei was standing among the pile of high-rise models, lowering his head impatiently. Against the backdrop of the miniature high-rise buildings, his body looked extremely huge.

Conan was stunned for a moment, "It's the producer, didn't he say something was up, why did he come back again... ah!"

Under the dim light, behind Kamei, the hideous Gomera suddenly appeared.

It quietly approached Kamei, and as the distance between the two shortened, Conan held his breath, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

He couldn't help but want to jump up and slap the window to remind Kamei to pay attention to his back, but before that, Gomera's feet suddenly jingled, as if something had been knocked over.

Startled by the sound, Kamei looked back, and at the same time as he turned around, Gemera suddenly accelerated, rushed forward, grabbed his shoulder with his left hand to pull him closer and fixed him, and stabbed him with a knife in his right hand. into his heart.

"!!", the attack was caught off guard, the children forgot to scream, and all stared at the model area in a daze, their eyes glazed over, unable to recover for a while.

Kamei was also stunned, and when he came back to his senses, his consciousness and intuition had already faded, and he was irreversibly turning into a corpse.

I don't know how long the dead silence lasted, until Gomera took a step back and pulled out the knife in a jerk, time seemed to resume flowing again.

With a muffled scoff, Kamei's blood splashed out from his chest, and the arrogant producer let out a weak cry of surprise, and fell on his back.

Gomera glanced in the direction of the monitoring room as if he didn't know anything, then he swung his knife and ran out towards one of the exits.

This escape finally touched Conan's detective nerves. Before he could fully react, he had already tapped the alarm button on the wall, then he pushed open the window, jumped out, and went straight to the scene of the crime .

A loud siren rang out, and the other three children were shocked, and finally came back to their senses, and followed Conan's footsteps by jumping out of the window.

The high-rise model is slightly shorter than adults, but it is enough to block children's vision.

Conan followed his memory and ran to Kamei, wanting to see if he could be rescued. After confirming that it was hopeless, he gritted his teeth and got up to chase the murderer.

——When Gomera committed the crime, he accidentally kicked over the paint bucket on the ground, and stepped on a trail of paint footprints when he fled, which made him easy to track.

Following the paint footprints, several children rushed out of one of the doors and into the hallway.

At this time, the director and staff of the Gomera crew also ran out of the screening room upon hearing the sound. They stood in the corridor, looking at the footprints next to them suspiciously, not knowing what happened.

It wasn't until Conan appeared that the adults finally had their focus.

"Who sounded the alarm? Also, which of you knocked over the paint?!" The rosy-nosed uncle who managed the props thought it was a brat, and his hair stood up in anger.

"This is not a prank! Producer Kamei was killed by someone wearing a Gomera costume, right in the model area! Didn't you see the murderer when you came out?!"

Conan explained, looking into the distance along the footprints, and then he caught a thick tail around the corner.

He narrowed his pupils, pointed there and shouted, "That's Gomera's tail... Hurry up, he hasn't run far!"

"What?", although subconsciously looked over, except for Dr. A Li, no one else has actually accepted the fact that "a murder occurred on the shooting site", they just regarded it as a child talking nonsense.

Soon, however, they realized that something had really happened.

——Following the pointer, there is no Gomera tail at the corner of the corridor.

But soon, with several continuous muffled bangs, a full-grown Gomera stumbled back from the corner, covering its head, half of its body was spattered with blood, the knife in its hand was icy cold, Drops of blood slowly slid down from above.

"...What's going on? Who's in the costume?!" Director Mikami was stunned, his eyes widened, he raised his hand to cover his heart, and his breathing became heavier.

Dr. A Li rummaged through to find the Suxiao Jiuxin Pill and handed it to him, and skillfully called the police. Conan froze for a few seconds, then turned on the switch of the foot-strengthening shoes, and ran towards the murderer who was in a strange state, wanting to take a closer look at what happened. misfortune.

The other staff members were still hesitating, but when they saw the bear boy approaching the knife-wielding assailant, they were afraid of accidents, so they had to follow. At the same time, they kept looking around, trying to find a reliable tool as a weapon.

However, this is not necessary, even Conan's shoes are useless - when Conan rushed forward, Gomera had slipped against the wall and fell to the ground, fainting with stares in his eyes.

A human-shaped shadow was cast on the ground by the corridor lights. Conan turned his head suddenly, and saw Bai Shu standing at the corner of the stairs, with a mop on his shoulder, looking down at Gomera. The stairs behind him There is a row of painted footprints on it, with the toes facing forward, leading directly to the roof.

"..." Conan stared dumbfounded at Gomera, at the footprints, and then at the white tree. flew down?"

Otherwise, how could the footprints only go up and not come down... It couldn't be that the two Gomeras committed the crime together, and one of them hid on the rooftop.

No, it's impossible, there should be only one person.

And just now, Gomera obviously retreated by himself.

But those one-way footprints...

"At the roof? No, when I got here, he had just rushed to the stairs." Bai Shu put on a puzzled face at the right time, and pointed to Gomera, "This man is very fierce, covered in blood, and Holding the knife, I was frightened, so I hit him a few times with a mop, luckily I happened to hit his vitals."

"...", Conan rolled his dead fish eyes, and decided not to pursue the authenticity of this 'coincidence', he pointed to the footprints on the stairs, "But..."

"This was there before he came. I just wanted to help clean it up, so I specially found a mop." Bai Shu shook the mop handle confidently, and gestured with the other hand to the ground.

"The footprints appeared out of nowhere from here before, and there is only a short section from here to the rooftop...Is it true that you kids stole Gomera's feet and printed them indiscriminately?"

"Before?" Conan was startled suddenly.

He looked towards the rooftop, then at the steps leading downstairs, and after recalling the whole incident again, a conjecture gradually formed in his mind.

"It turned out to be like this...he deliberately killed people in front of us, and pretended to accidentally step on the paint. He probably wanted to use the footprints arranged in advance to lead us to the rooftop, and he took off his costume at the stairs and sneaked down. Lou disposed of the tools of crime, and then used the time difference to create his own alibi, tsk, this plan..."

Conan frowned and looked at Gomera, who was fainting by the wall, with a complicated expression.

Although the costume hadn't been opened yet, he already vaguely knew who was inside.

……

Police officer Mu Mu quickly arrived with the police.

After seeing Conan and Shiraki, he immediately thought of Kogoro Mori, he hissed in an instant, and his brows knit into a ball subconsciously.

However, after hearing that Mori Kogoro was not present and the suspect was arrested on the spot, he was slightly relieved, secretly glad that he finally didn't have to use his brain to solve any suspicious cases.

Matsui's murder plan failed to go smoothly. Not only was he caught on the spot, but a lot of evidence was left behind. His mentality collapsed, and he confessed everything with a stagnant face.

Matsui's intent to kill was because after the producer Kamei decided to stop filming Gomera, he spread rumors among the crew that Matsui was actually the one who most wanted to stop filming Gomera.

But Matsui said that he was loyal to Gomera, his mind was full of Gomera, and he didn't want to stop filming at all. Combining various factors, he couldn't think about it for a while and killed Kamei.

Officer Mu Mu took this strange reason for killing as usual, and brought the person and evidence back to the police station.

After this kind of thing happened, other people lost their interest in visiting. In the low mood of the staff, Dr. A Li took Bai Shu and a few children and left the scene embarrassingly, and sent them back home.

Holding the wilted vegetables, Bai Shu threw the tearful Kamei soul into the teleportation array, feeling elated that this journey was not in vain.
