Chapter 41: The murderer is Satoshi Maeda?

"Da Da Da!" The person dressed as a baron was quite decisive, and when he saw Gao Cheng, he didn't pause, but raised his hand knife while running, wanting to stun Gao Cheng first.

"Whew!"

The hand knife attack was neat, not dragging the mud at all, but it suddenly fell short with Gao Cheng's sideways.

The strange man was stunned, and the moment he staggered, he felt the danger at the same time, and hurriedly let go of his body to avoid Gao Cheng's counterattack, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly became serious.

Just like the reappearance of the previous scene in the elevator, Gao Cheng couldn't touch the weirdo, but the weirdo who was in a hurry to escape couldn't help him, and several attacks between the lightning and flint fell in the air.

Gao Cheng's eyes trembled slightly.

After a few back and forth attacks, he immediately realized that he was not the opponent of the guy opposite, and the other party was definitely a karate master......

Feeling the burning pain swept by the strong wind on his face, Gao Cheng sank his heart, took the lead in taking a step back, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his back in the strange man's puzzled gaze.

"Huh!"

Facing a storm-like attack, Gao Cheng instantly summoned Lake Toya and grabbed it in his hand.

Gao's, a knife flow!

"What?" The strange man had already seen Gao Cheng pull out a wooden knife from his back, and before he had time to wonder, he found that the opponent seemed to be a different person.

With a calm and sharp gaze, the whole world seemed to be left with only the sword-wielding figure, and the slow and fast wooden knife bloomed with a bright brilliance that had never been seen before.

"Bang!" The strange man was tense and couldn't keep up with the attack at all, so he only had time to block the whole person with his arm and then directly flew the wooden knife and smashed it into the corner of the wall.

Humming and propping up, the strange man didn't look at Gao Cheng, and ran away from the other side like the wind.

"Don't run!" Gao Cheng was stunned, and hurriedly chased after him with a wooden knife, but he lost a trace of the strange man near the toilet.

He didn't expect the other party to escape so easily, but ......

Thinking of the other party's skills just now, he frowned suspiciously.

This "Duke of the Night" is very strange, why is it here, let's not talk about it, it's too good.

……

In the interrogation room, Gao Cheng almost followed Xiaolan back here, and before he could open the door, he heard Maori Kogoro's loud voice.

"You said the Duke of Night has reappeared?!"

"That's right!" Conan described, "When we took the elevator back to the 19th floor together, we were ...... the moment the door opened."

"What?" Maori looked at Xiaolan angrily, "Why don't you catch him?" ”

"I'm sorry, I was shocked......" Xiaolan was so preoccupied that she didn't say what she guessed.

"Henggou Detective!" Several police officers entered the interrogation room with Gao Cheng, "Misawa was fainted in the body placement room, and it looks like he was knocked unconscious by someone!" ”

"What?" Henggou exclaimed, "What about the body? ”

"The body is fine, but the Duke of Night's clothes are suddenly gone!"

"If it's the Duke of Night's clothes," Gao Cheng said after him, "it's on the second floor toilet right now." ”

"Joto Boy?!" Mori Kogoro was surprised, "How do you know?" Could it be you......"

"How is that possible? I happened to bump into the guy coming down from the stairs, and when I chased him, I found clothes in the bathroom. ”

Gao Cheng glanced at the police officer who was carried in and fainted, turned to Henggou and said, "Officer Henggou, I already know who the person who stole the clothes is, can I do another investigation?" ”

"Good!" Henggou did not hesitate, and hurriedly instructed his subordinates, "Notify all the suspects to gather in the interrogation room!" ”

"Yes!"

"Senior Gao Cheng......" Xiaolan looked at Gao Cheng again and again, wanting to ask but didn't know how to speak.

After a while, the tour group members regrouped in the interrogation room.

"Really? Everyone stays in their rooms...... Don't have a certificate? Henggou said with a headache, "That is to say, when Xiaolan and the three of them were attacked just now, none of the others had an alibi......"

"Wait! Mr. Policeman, didn't you tell us to stay in the room? We just did what we were told......"

"Yes, yes!" The crowd shouted.

Gao Cheng carefully observed the people who returned to the interrogation room, and found that in the crowd, Maeda Satoshi's expression changed significantly when he saw the Toya Lake in his hand, and his right arm looked a little unnatural.

Satoshi Maeda is a Japanese karate champion, and it would be reasonable if the Duke of the Night just now was this person...... But this person looks pretty good, is he really a murderer?

Gao Cheng stepped aside and pretended to casually bump Maeda Satoshi's arm.

"Shhh Satoshi Maeda's face turned pale instantly, and although he quickly endured the pain, his strange behavior still attracted everyone's attention.

"Mr. Maeda, are you hurt?" Henggou wondered.

"No, it's nothing," Maeda covered his arm, glanced at Gao Cheng complicatedly, and smiled reluctantly, "I just accidentally hurt my arm, it doesn't matter." ”

"Huh?" Conan's gaze fell sensitively on Maeda.

It's strange that a karate champion would hurt his arm for no apparent reason.

Conan thought of the fight between Duke Dark Night and Xiaolan in front of the elevator, but it didn't look like he had injured his arm......

"That's it," Gao Cheng didn't directly expose it, and said to Officer Yokozo and Maeda, "I think it's better to check everyone's room first...... Mr. Maeda, it's okay to start with your room, right? ”

"Uh...... Good ......"

Sweat appeared on Maeda Satoshi's forehead, knowing that Gao Cheng had already guessed his identity.

Room 1901, Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama's room, Maori Kogoro seemed to feel that he had fallen behind before, and searched the whole house in front of Gao Cheng, and Conan also jumped up and down in the room, holding a small notebook to write and draw, which made Maori angry for a while.

Gao Cheng first followed Maori to check the personal belongings of Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama, and then also looked at the balcony and the windows in the room.

He probably figured out the layout of the room, even if the balcony was forgotten, although there was a window on the side just below the right-angled wall below the balcony of his room, it was basically impossible for even Karate champion Satoshi Maeda to come down from it, and according to Akiko Sayama's testimony, she had been watching TV in the room at the time.

Let's not mention whether Akiko Sayama is lying or not, in this way, the only possible escape route for Satoshi Maeda is to jump on the balcony of his room, but how does Maeda know that he didn't lock the glass door......

Gao Cheng tried to poke his head out, but he couldn't see the glass door of his room from below.

Could it be that Maeda escaped from someone else's room?

"Huh? What kind of medicine is this? Yokozo asked suspiciously, holding a plate of pills that he had found out of Akiko Sayama's pocket.

"It's my sleeping pill," Akiko Sayama replied, "I've been having a lot of insomnia lately, so I always have ...... with me."

"Sleeping pills?" Gao Cheng looked at Satoshi Maeda and asked Sayama, "At 10 o'clock at the time of the crime, did you really watch TV here all the time?" ”

"Well," Sayama nodded, remembering, "By the way, I called the counter at that time." ”

"Is that ......?"

After searching the room, Kosei pinned Lake Toya to his trouser belt and left Room 1901 in deep thought, he always felt as if he had reached a dead end.

Although he knew that Satoshi Maeda was the Duke of the Night who fought against him, he had more doubts.

If Maeda is the murderer, why did he steal the clothes of the Duke of the Night again, why did he appear outside the elevator on the 19th floor and was seen by Xiaolan for some reason, and the murder method......
