Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"Uh……"

Gao Cheng didn't expect his identity to be exposed face to face.

It seems that next time you have to pretend to be Kuroba Kuaidou. Compared with Okita, Kuaidou is much lower-key under normal circumstances, and only relies on Kidd vest to get out.

Looking at Wenyue Hualien who had plucked up the courage to request, Gao Cheng continued to ask about the troupe's situation, but could not get much information. He just knew that the previous relationship of the members was copied and written into the drama script by Hongchuan.

In other respects, Wenyue Hualien only said that she didn't know much about her in the troupe, and she didn't know whether this woman was concealing it on purpose or was really unclear.

"script……"

When he left the restaurant, Gao Cheng got a script of Aprodi's performance, but he still couldn't see much. The troupe members knew about it.

Since the troupe has nothing to gain, we can only try to investigate the "Red Beard Santa Claus" line.

"The red beard Santa is dead?"

"Yup."

At the houseboat cafe, the talkative owner was very impressed with Santa Claus with a red beard, and started chattering before Gao Cheng asked too much.

"I also heard from the owner of the hotel's Xuecun that the man died a year ago. One day when the waiter was cleaning the room, he was found dead on the bed...

"It's really a weird person to speak of. Even if I am dressed in red, I have painted all the hotel rooms red. If you live in that kind of room for 10 years, most people will go crazy, right?"

The cafe owner shook his head and sighed: "It happens to be 10 years old tomorrow. By that time, the owner of Xuecun will not know if he will restore the room to its original condition, because the room was originally unused."

"It's not working?" Gao Cheng asked, "Why? Is there any problem with that room?"

"Forget it," the innkeeper said mysteriously, "that room 315 has a taboo past. About 100 years ago, the person who built this alien pavilion died on the bed of that room. Like a curse, no one dared to live it now."

"Someone has already moved in..."

Gao Cheng muttered and took a sip of coffee, paying more attention to the clue of "Red Beard Santa".

Sakata Kojiro apparently found this clue, so he found a way to move to that room.

"That's right," the coffee shop owner suddenly remembered, "Speaking of strange places, the man added a lot of sugar to the coffee, and complained that the sugar in our shop is not sweet no matter how much sugar is put, and it feels a little nervous. It's too sweet..."

"granulated sugar?"

Gao Cheng took another sip of coffee. Indeed, it was very sweet without adding much sugar.

"Is there anything else weird?"

"Well, I think about it, people often call him, and every time he is a different person, he seems to be very busy," the cafe owner recalled, "but the hotel said that he stayed in the room all year round... Oh, and also, I heard that the next room No. 316 has been booked by various people since he moved in, and they refused to change rooms."

The innkeeper did not provide many clues.

However, the weirdness of this red-bearded Santa Claus reminds Gao Cheng of a certain possibility.

Paint the room red and add a lot of sugar to the coffee... Crazy obsessiveness on a certain color or abnormal taste is a common symptom of heavy drug addicts.

Perhaps the real identity of Santa Claus with the red beard is a drug dealer and a severe drug addict at the same time.

"Thanks, boss."

Although the two cases have not made much progress, and even the prisoner's method of killing Bandai Suzue is not clear, Gao Cheng feels that the red-bearded Santa Claus who died a year ago is the most critical part of the entire case.

"You're welcome." The cafe owner wiped the cup, and when he raised his head, Gao Cheng had already pushed the door and left.

During the investigation, he was more like the famous detective Takasei Shiroto, but unfortunately he couldn't help much.

...

Takagi arrived in Hakodate in the afternoon, and no one picked up the plane. After he hurried to the Ijinkan Hotel, he ran to Room 215 to meet with Gao Cheng.

"Threatening letter?"

Gao Cheng looked through the case data brought by Takagi, and saw the threatening letter like a homicide warning, and finally understood the reason for the joint investigation between Hokkaido and Aomori Prefecture.

"I received the case information from the Aomori prefectural police on the way here, and Officer Megome asked me to give it to you as soon as possible." Takagi looked unwake, his eyes turned dark, "It just so happens that there is a senior from the Metropolitan Police Department. While investigating a drug trafficking line, the clues pointed to Bandai Suzue and Yukio Hongkawa who were killed here, so it was easy to join this joint investigation."

"That's it."

Gao Cheng was not too surprised. After suspecting that Santa Claus with red beard was a drug dealer, he carefully asked the owner of the hotel Xuecun.

Both Bandai and Hongchuan have stayed in Room 316 in the past, and the frequency is not low. In combination with this case, it is not difficult to understand the relationship between them.

Santa Claus with a red beard obviously does not have a job, but he has a lot of cash in his hands. Obviously, he trades drugs through Bandai and Hongchuan, and his theater troupe is also relatively easy to deal in drugs.

But in this way, the death of Red Beard a year ago is worth studying.

Judging from the crime committed by the murderer under the red beard name, it is very likely that it is related to Bandai and Hongchuan.

But what is the meaning of the threatening letter? Yesterday, the costume was specially damaged, which caused the police to increase their guard...

Combining the information brought by Takagi and everything that happened so far, Gao Cheng felt that there was a hand behind him manipulating the development of the case, and things that seemed unreasonable and meaningless had specific purposes.

"What do I need to do next?" Takagi asked.

Yesterday, he didn't sleep all night. Only in the morning did he find out that he had come to Hokkaido to support Gao Cheng. He hurriedly learned about the case on the road and learned that two people have been killed. The police have not made any progress.

"Cooperate with the local police investigation first," Gao Cheng put down the information and thought. "Tell me what's going on. If possible, find a way to let me go into the stage hall and have a look."

The red beard line has been investigated for the time being, and Takagi is already in place, and then it is time to officially solve the case.

He believes that no matter how difficult and complicated a case is, there must be traces to follow, because the more prisoners design, the more traces they leave...

"Acheng," Yuanzi shouted when he returned to the room, "the hotel is ready for dinner...Huh? Officer Takagi? Didn't Officer Sato come with you?"

Takagi wiped his sweat and said, "Officer Sato has other tasks..."

Originally, he was performing tasks with Sato.

Going downstairs from the stairs, on the other side is the blocked stage hall. Gao Cheng glanced around and found that the police were staring very closely. It might not be easy to get in to check the situation.

It can only be seen that Takagi plays.

"Today there are a lot fewer people," Yuanzi exclaimed, "At this time yesterday, those people were still discussing Mysterious Night Reasoning..."

"There is no way. Most people will not stay in the hotel where the murder occurred." Gao Cheng paid attention to Takagi who went to hand over with the police to respond casually to Yuanzi.

"That's right, this hotel is weird enough..."

There are two statues on both sides of the stairs in the front hall. They are Medusa with snake hair and Perseus, the hero who killed Medusa. The garden can't help but complain while waiting.

"Why put a statue here, it will be scary at night, right?"

"Medusa……"

Gao Cheng's gaze paused on the statue.

When he came yesterday, he noticed these two statues. In terms of form, they should show the scene of Medusa turning into stone.

Medusa is a monster in Greek legend. It can turn everyone who sees him into stone with his eyes. In the end Perseus polished the shield like a mirror, allowing Medusa to see himself and petrify~www.mtlnovel .com~ The strange thing should be the direction of Medusa. "Gao Cheng observed.

Perseus on the left is facing Medusa on the right, but Medusa is not facing Perseus...

He stepped forward and tried to move the statue, but found that the statue was tightly connected to the base. He felt the slight movement coming from the machine, and quickly stopped the movement in his hand.

Interesting, it is actually an agency.

Gaocheng proficiency level "Organization" played a role and instantly identified the situation.

If he guessed correctly, it should be a switch such as the secret room and secret road. This is not uncommon in the Foreign Man's Hall. After all, the owner who built this place had many enemies at the beginning.

"No way, Joto," Takagi said distressedly when he came back after the handover, "I'm going to go to the field service with the Aomori prefectural police tonight. They are not responsible for the police."

"I see," Gao Cheng nodded. "Let's go eat first."
