Chapter 39: A Bloodstained Smiling Face
At about nine o'clock in the evening, when Gao Cheng went to buy a soda outside the gift shop, he unexpectedly saw Mori Kogoro actually went to the emerald bar on the second floor with Hideko Uejo.
How quickly did it get better? Or are you also looking for information?
"Huh? Is Miss Uejo married? Mori Kogoro sat in front of the bar close to Kamijo, looking completely mesmerized.
"yes...... But I got divorced 3 years ago......"
"It's a shame to divorce a beautiful woman like you."
"Let's not talk about that," Kamijo said, "Mr. Mori, can you tell me?" You must already know who the Duke of the Night is, right? โ
Maori was embarrassed: "How can this be done?" It's about the cost of the hotel room......"
"Ouch, it's okay to give me a hint," Kamijo suddenly put his arms around Maori, his chest rubbing against his thin clothes, "Please, Maori detective." โ
"This pervert ......" Gao Cheng pouted when he saw Maori at the door, and turned back to the open-air restaurant on the third floor.
It was almost ten o'clock, and everyone else seemed to have gone back to their rooms, except for the old man Jincheng and the servant who remained in the dining room.
The current situation seems to be that Satoshi Maeda and his girlfriend Akiko Sayama are not like Duke of the Night, and since Hideko Kamijo is looking for Maori set news, it shouldn't be either, but the possibility of deliberately acting cannot be ruled out.
Anyone else, everyone is likely to be the host, and this is still the most suspicious of the mysterious master and servant of the Golden City......
"Excuse me......" When Gao Cheng observed the master and servant of Jincheng, a crisp voice suddenly sounded behind him.
The two young and lively girls looked at Gao Cheng uncertainly, and said excitedly, "Are you that Kudo Shinichi?" โ
The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth froze, this blow came so suddenly.
"You Recognize the Wrong Person......"
"Huh? Yes, I'm sorry! โ
The girl who asked immediately blushed, buried her head and apologized, but the girl next to her hesitated: "Should you ...... Is it the modern left letter? โ
"Sort of," Gao Cheng nodded, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm Chenghu Gao Cheng......"
Although I've gradually gained some fame recently, it still seems to be very different from Kudo Shinichi, and it's clear that that guy has become Conan for a long time without news......
"I'm sorry, because you and Kudo Shinichi are a bit like ......" The girl glanced at it secretly and found that Gao Cheng's smile was more like Kudo Shinichi, but if you look closely, it is indeed not the same person.
"It's okay, people often admit mistakes."
Gao Cheng smiled, and the little entanglement in his heart quickly dissipated, but he really wanted that one day it would be Kudo Shinichi who would be mistaken for him, even though Kudo Shinichi's hairstyle was much more distinctive than his......
"Is it really that modern left?" The girl said excitedly, "I thought you would learn the left character with a knife, can you sign for me?" I'm also a detective fan of the left text! โ
"Uh...... Yes. โ
Gao Cheng silently took the paper and pen, and smiled bitterly in his heart, he wasn't learning any left-handed characters, he didn't know it before, okay?
Why does a character in a novel have detective fans......
After writing their names, and just as they were thinking about whether to write a message, the two girls suddenly looked up in surprise and looked up.
"What's that?"
"Huh?"
Gao Cheng stopped his pen and raised his head.
A black shadow kept falling from the edge of the towering building, and a strange figure wearing a strange smiley mask, a high black hat, and dressed as a magician seemed to fly down from the sky.
"Duke of Night?!"
The strange man got closer and closer to the ground, and before people could react, he slammed down on a bronze statue of the god of war next to the wall, and his chest was directly pierced by the sharp sword facing upwards of the bronze statue, and blood gushed wildly, spilling everywhere.
"Poofโโ!
The scene fell silent instantly, and everyone looked in horror at the strange man on the bronze statue with his arms hanging weakly, and at the grim blood-stained smiling mask, paused, and suddenly burst into a scream.
"Ahโโ!hh The two detective girls who reacted were frightened into tears, and their legs and feet were shaking.
Gao Cheng gasped, also stimulated by the bloody and strange scene.
However, as a detective, this kind of scene inevitably requires frequent contact, and he did not fall into a panic like everyone else, but took the initiative to walk towards the corpse.
Of course, the weirdo is dead, but the blood-stained smiling face still looks very oozing, and the bloody scene makes people chill in the back.
"Call the police!!" Gao Cheng shouted at the two girls with a calm face, and in the trembling and frightened eyes of the two, he tried his best to suppress his old body and get close to the bronze statue.
He couldn't move the body until the police arrived, but he could still check it first.
He first stood on a chair and observed the deceased's outfit.
It's true that it's the same as the elusive weirdo Duke Dark Night in Kudo's novel.,I remember that Kudo Yusaku was dressed like this last time.ใ
However, the man's tie and belt were strange, and it looked like someone else had dressed the deceased......
Gao Cheng stretched out his hand to uncover the mask with a heavy face.
The incident happened so quickly, and it happened to be related to the Duke of Night......
"Huh?!" The moment the mask was taken away, Gao Cheng's eyes suddenly tightened, and what was hidden under the mask was the face of Jiang Yuan's pervert.
After a while, the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Department police arrived at the hotel and quickly cordoned off the scene.
The Henggou police officer who led the team didn't know Gao Cheng yet, and when he saw Gao Cheng moving around the bronze statue's corpse, he exclaimed: "Hey! You ......"
"Officer," Gao Cheng jumped out of his chair and waited for the officers to put the body on the ground, thinking about looking up at the rooms on the hotel floor, "This should be murder, Mr. Ehara was pushed down from which room above......
"Y-Who are you?" Looking at Gao Cheng's professional appearance, Henggou's voice couldn't help but weaken, and he said in a daze, "Do you know the deceased?" โ
"Well, he and I are part of a tour group."
Gao Cheng's gaze went all the way up and landed on the balcony on the 20th floor.
It seemed to be his room......
The structure of the Princess Hotel is very strange, and the structure has changed since the 20th floor where he lives, and if you look down, the floor below is still cross-shaped, and the upper floor is a regular octagon.
Therefore, under the raised balcony of Room 2001, there happened to be a recess right angle inward, and Gangwon fell down the right angle wall on this side......
Looking up, Gao Cheng remembered that room 2101 where Jiang Yuan lived happened to be the one upstairs from him.
At this time, Gangwon's body had been laid flat on the ground, except for the anomaly of the tie and belt, and the white glove on his hand was also missing.
Gao Cheng just glanced at it, did not continue to stay at the scene, but took the elevator back to his room 2001.
When I opened the glass door of the balcony, a gust of wind poured in, and the whistling sound was endless.
"It's really windy here."
Gao Cheng walked to the balcony and looked at the ground, and suddenly felt dizzy, twenty stories high, the people below were like ants, and their hands and feet were weak.
He carefully leaned against the railing and looked up, and saw a white glove stuck right between the railings above.
The wind was so strong, if it weren't for the fact that he saw that Jiang Yuan's clothes were a little strange, he would almost think that Jiang Yuan was accidentally blown down......
