Stay away from Conan

Chapter 578 Attic Craftsman

When Takato drove back to Tokyo, he came to the downstairs of the apartment where Shirozuka Hisui lived.

Gao Yuan originally wanted to put Chengzhong Jade down and leave, but Chengzhong Jade invited Gao Yuan to visit his home again——

"What's the matter?"

Regarding such an invitation, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask subconsciously.

In response to this, Shirozuka Jade couldn't help but look a little sad and said:

"Mr. Gao Yuan, are you so unwilling to go to my house? Because of what happened today, I want to entertain you! Are you so ungrateful?"

"But……"

Hearing Shirozuka Jade say this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but think of the pile of garbage he saw in Shirozuka Jade's bedroom before at her house.

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel disbelieving about the word "entertainment".

However, Gao Yuan was embarrassed to express this feeling directly, so he couldn't help but say:

"Another day. I have some things to take care of."

"Hey? What's going on?"

Seemingly interested, Chengzuka Jade couldn't help but said with shining eyes:

"The murderer this time has been caught. Before the police can find clues, what else is urgent for Mr. Gao Yuan?"

Regarding this, Shirozuka Hisui probably didn't know what happened last night, so he couldn't help but sigh and began to explain——

"Yesterday, in a certain apartment, there was actually a case of amputating a person's limbs while he was still alive... However, the victim in this case was a male!"

"oh……"

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Chengzhong Jade couldn't help but reply:

"The male victim... looks like he is not the same murderer as the one we caught today!"

"That's right."

Gao Yuan did not deny it and answered directly:

"According to the forensic investigation, it was found that in our incident, the severed limbs of the three girls who were murdered can be judged from the fractures according to the chronological order. The murderer's technique has obviously improved each time. Little by little, I started to become proficient from being unfamiliar.

"But in last night's incident, the murderer's methods were extremely professional. Compared with the previous fracture of the third girl who was killed, the method was almost a qualitative leap. It is almost certain that the murderer is someone else! What's more important is that , what was left at the scene this time was a dead body!”

"Hey! It's true!"

Hearing this, Chengzhong Jade immediately became interested and couldn't help but say:

"It seems that such a case would still appear at this time. It must not be simple! It is possible that there is something closer to the truth behind this incident than the one in which we have caught the murderer now!"

Shirozuka Jade made this judgment——

"After all, compared to the previous three incidents... this is more like the Gus Group punishing traitors!"

"So, are you interested in investigating together?"

Gao Yuan also agreed with Chengzuka Jade's opinion, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I'm interested!"

Shirozuka Hisui said affirmatively, but then felt a little helpless. He leaned on the passenger seat and replied slightly tiredly:

"But forget it today. I was knocked unconscious by that guy with drugs. Although I'm awake now, I still feel mentally exhausted, so I don't want to move today..."

"Huh? Medicine... why are you so careless?"

After hearing Shirozuka Jade's words, Gao Yuan subconsciously asked with some worry.

"I don't want to either! I just went to that second-hand bookstore today and was thinking about how to get close to him. But when there was no one else in the store, he came up and covered my face with a handkerchief stained with medicine. Mouth, there is nothing I can do..."

Chengzuka Jade said aggrievedly:

"My body is so small that I can't resist at all... However, thanks to the tracker Mr. Gao Yuan gave me, I was able to touch the switch of the tracker at the last moment!"

When he said this, Chengzuka Jade couldn't help but smile happily towards Gao Yuan——

"So, Mr. Gao Yuan, I really want to thank you! Just come to my house! I have something to give you!"

Listening to Shirozuka Jade's very sincere speech, Gao Yuan thought for a moment and finally agreed.

So, after arriving at the apartment where Chengzhong Jade lived, he followed the other party to Chengzhong Jade's residence again, and this time, Chengzhong Jade did not let Gao Yuan continue to wait in the living room, but took him to Chengzhong Jade's house. In the bedroom——

"Mr. Gao Yuan, please wait a moment..."

Shirozuka Jade looked at Gao Yuan just standing at the door of the bedroom, with no intention of coming in, so Shirozuka Jade didn't force himself, so he walked into the bedroom alone and came to the table in the bedroom. Without thinking much, he opened the desk. of drawers.

In the innermost part of the drawer, there was a safe locked by a password lock. After Shirozuka Jade entered the password, the safe was immediately opened, revealing the contents inside -

That's a watch.

The rose gold round surface is equipped with a dark blue leather strap.

The rose gold round case has a blue engraved dial inside. From this appearance, you can tell that this is a mechanical watch.

But something different is that the digital circle where the hour and minute hands are located is not like an ordinary watch, which is a concentric circle consistent with the dial. Instead, it is a disc that is only two-thirds the size of the dial, and is offset from the ten o'clock position on the dial. The position is inscribed with the round shape of the dial.

At the six o'clock position of the number circle, there is a large circular hollow, inside which is a spherical tourbillon that is constantly rotating.

In addition, in the blank space to the right of three o'clock on the digital dial, there is a moon phase disk.

As for the remaining blank area, there is a separate disk composed of two concentric circles. The expression also has pointers like hour and minute hands, pointing to the numbers on the two concentric circles respectively——

Among them, the large concentric circle is a dial with thirty-one counts, while the small concentric circle has only twelve scales.

At the twelve o'clock position of the entire dial, there is a cross-shaped logo printed with the words "Vacheron Constantin" written in English letters under the logo——

Taking out the watch from the safe, holding it in his hand as if he was reluctant to weigh it for a moment, Chengzhong Jade closed his eyes slightly, and finally made up his mind, stood up, walked to Gao Yuan with a smile, and held his arm directly Gao Yuan's left hand then helped put the watch on Gao Yuan's wrist——

"Mr. Gao Yuan, consider this watch as my thank you gift! You must take good care of it!"

Shirozuka Jade said with a faint smile, and looking at the watch just put on Gao Yuan's hand, he couldn't help but say:

"Well...it's really suitable!"

In this regard, Gao Yuan looked at the watch Shirozuka Jade put on him. This extremely complex functional design——

Although I don’t know much about watches, anyone who looks at the surface of this watch will feel that it is very valuable!

Therefore, Gao Yuan wanted to decline politely and said:

"Classmate Shirozuka Hisui, this is too valuable, please take it back!"

As he said that, he was about to take off his watch, but was stopped by Shirozuka Hisui——

"Mr. Gao Yuan, if you don't accept it, I will be angry! Besides, this watch is not a valuable thing. After all, many of my customers have given me many watches of this brand! It's no big deal. of!

"But if Mr. Gao Yuan doesn't cherish what I gave you, I will be very angry!"

Cheng Zhong Jade couldn't help but say, as if he was angry.

So, looking at Chengzhong Jade's statement and feeling the heavy weight of this piece on his hand, Gao Yuan pondered for a moment and couldn't help but nodded:

"Okay, then I'll accept it. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first! I won't disturb your rest!"

"Well! Mr. Gao Yuan, if there is any progress on that case in the future, you must tell me!"

Chengzhong Jade had no intention of retaining him. With that said, he watched Gao Yuan leave his room——

"The 'Eccentric World' of the 'Loft Craftsman' series... Mr. Gao Yuan, this should be the most suitable gift I can give you!"

When he saw the door being closed, Chengzhong Jade silently thought in his heart——

“Although I don’t know why, there is always a feeling...this watch must be in your hands to realize its true value!”
