Chapter 662: The city is on the line of murder
A few days after the Hayama incident, at the Kudo family's mansion in Rice Flower 2-chome, the garden housewife dressed up in an apron and complained while helping to clean the study with a feather duster.
"Why do I have to clean up here in the morning? It's just a devil, and he actually asked his son's wife to clean this house where no one lives, Xiaolan, your mother-in-law must be the devil......"
"Garden!" Xiaolan wrung out the towel and blushed and said, "Don't say anything about my wife and mother-in-law, I'm going to clean it myself...... Besides, it's not that no one lives, I heard that a friend of the new father will come to borrow it soon, and it would be bad if the family saw how dirty it was......"
"Really, your daughter-in-law is going to get up before she gets through the door," the garden collapsed his eyelids, and looked angrily at Gao Cheng, who was still reading a book on the other side, "Hey, Chenghu, what are you doing?" Didn't you say you were going to come over and help? ”
"Because I just had to return the book......
Gao Cheng put the books into the shelves in order and looked at the entire study.
The two-story circular space, each floor has seven or eight shelves, full of books, and the taller ones have to be picked up with a ladder, and the collection of books is comparable to that of a small library, so far he has only read a small number of books on the first floor.
"The number of books here is really amazing," Yuan Zi walked to Gao Cheng's side and looked around the entire study, "When do you want to see when you go after reading them all?" ”
"There are a lot of detectives who don't need to be seen, and the rest is only half there, but it's really hard to read."
Gao Cheng looked at the works area of Yusaku Kudo, as well as the works of well-known mystery writers.
He doesn't plan to be a family, so he doesn't see much reasoning, but he has learned about some of the more famous ones, and the wild imagination in them is also a lot of help for real cases, and he has to know a little bit about it.
"By the way," asked the garden suddenly, "who is the man who is going to live here?" ”
Xiaolan frowned and said, "I don't know, it seems to be an engineering graduate student at Dongdu University, or a fan of Shinichi's father's reasoning......"
Gao Cheng raised his eyelids.
Okiya Ang, who is a graduate student at Toto University as Xiaolan said, is Shuichi Akai's new identity, and after he contacted the Kudo couple, he asked Yusaku Kudo to arrange Shuichi Akai here.
It's a little inappropriate, but it's better than letting this guy get close to the Joto Detective Agency.
Gao Cheng knows what this Lolita has in mind.
"Hey," Conan pushed a towel to wipe the floor, and looked at Gao Cheng in a daze, "How about helping?" ”
"I have help, didn't I fix the light bulb toilet and the like?" Gao Cheng climbed the escalator and picked the next book to read.
"I like to read so much, I think you should live here the most......"
Conan pursed his lips, avoided the two gardens where he was chatting, and quietly followed Gao Cheng up to the second floor.
"That Shuichi Akai...... Do you really want to live in my house? ”
"Of course, that guy is hiding from the FBI, and he doesn't have a place to live for the time being......"
"But is it okay?" Conan looked at Yuan Zi and Xiaolan, who were not paying attention, and continued to lower his voice and said anxiously, "This will expose us, right?" ”
"Shuichi Akai is trustworthy, and it's your dad who contacts him, and it has nothing to do with me......"
"So my parents are involved!"
"Don't worry," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "It seems that the only one who knows that he faked his death is James from the FBI, and we are the only ones who know that he lives here, even if there is a problem in the future, Akai Shuichi only knows that your father knows 'Shimura Shinpachi', and all problems are ...... with 'Shimura Shinpachi'"
"You're not worried at all." Conan was speechless.
Everything is thrown on a fake identity, and I don't know what the Gin gang will think if they know the truth.
"Jingle bell!" Suddenly, the Kudo house bell rang, and a young woman wearing a hat and sunglasses stood in front of the walkie-talkie and pressed the doorbell.
"Is Mr. Shinichi Kudo here?"
"Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and pressed the indoor walkie-talkie and asked, "Shinichi, he's not at home now...... Who are you? ”
"Hmm......" the visitor hesitated, "Shanghu...... I'm Ueto Lottery ......"
"Kamitoya?"
Gao Cheng paused, watched Yuan Zi and Xiaolan excitedly run out of the door to check, and then remembered that it was the name of a star.
After becoming a detective, I have actually seen a lot of stars, Yoko Okino and Reika Hayami are super popular idols, and I have also met many well-known actors and singers in the case.
It should be said that there are a lot of intersections between showbiz and detectives, so it's not very unusual, but ......
Gao Cheng had the image of a cute girl with a sister's temperament in his mind.
Of course, cute girls are different from ordinary celebrities.
At the entrance of Kudo's house, the garden and Xiaolan greeted Kamito Aya warmly and got to know each other.
"When will Shinichi come back?" Aya Ueto asked with a smile.
"We don't know very well, he's been out investigating the incident......"
"Big sister," Conan and Gao Cheng walked out of the study together, and when they saw the young girl surrounded by two people in the garden, they asked, "Do you have anything to entrust him with investigation?" ”
"Yes," Aya Ueto turned his head and looked at Gao Cheng in a daze, "Kudo-san......"
"Hello," Gao Cheng smiled bitterly, "I'm Chenghu Gao Cheng, if you have any trouble, I can help you." ”
"Is that the Detective Castle Takari?" Kamito Aya saw Gao Cheng clearly, and his eyes were slightly disappointed, "Actually, it's not that I have any trouble, I just want to find someone to ......."
Yuan Zi kept looking at Gao Cheng, and his eyelids suddenly collapsed: "If you want to find someone, I'm afraid it's not good, Chenghu is just good at murders......"
Gao Cheng glared at the garden.
This is very false, he has no non-business, from social cases to finding cats and dogs......
"Why don't you find Mori Kogoro?" Sonoko advised, "Uncle Maori is amazing! ”
"I think Uncle can't help it," Conan sweated slightly, "He's been sleeping since the morning because of a severe hangover, and he doesn't know when he'll wake up......"
"Really?" The garden stared at Conan suspiciously.
"I see," Gao Cheng coughed lightly, "Miss Ueto, you might as well tell me what is going on, we will help anyone who can." ”
"Okay," Aya Ueto said after only a moment of hesitation, "There is an old woman named Fumie Koda who has been living alone near my apartment, and she is nearly eighty years old, and I am very close to that old woman, so I often go to her house to play when I am on vacation......"
Gao Cheng and Yuan stared at each other, and it took a while to learn the whole story from Ueto Aya.
In general, there is an old grandmother who is missing.,I heard that the old woman came all the way to Rice Flower Town.,Ueto Aya also rushed over.,Thinking of Kudo Shinichi I've seen before.,So I came to ask for help.。
"If you are looking for someone, you need to know more about the person concerned, for example, if you have friends and relatives in Rice Flower Town, first find out the reason why the grandmother is here," Gao Cheng said after a moment of silence, "The more information, the easier it is to find people, how much do you know about the grandmother?" ”
"Well, my grandmother shouldn't have any friends in Rice Flower Town, and now she has no relatives...... But I do know a little bit about my grandmother's youth......"
"Enough, I ......"
Gao Cheng glanced at the garden that was eyeing the tiger: "A few of us can help you find it together." ”
