The next morning, the incident at the hotel did not cause much commotion, and the hotel restaurant was still bustling with excitement at breakfast time, and it was full of Didan High School students wearing black sportswear uniforms.

Everyone didn't seem to know about the incident, even Xiaolan and Yuanzi were no exception, and Shiliang Zhenchun was still yawning boredly.

"There seems to be a police car coming downstairs last night, did something happen?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of anything."

Shira Masumi casually glanced at the restaurant.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but she seemed to see Gao Cheng yesterday.

If there is a case, it will definitely be right, and Gao Cheng may also be staying in this hotel......

"Anyway, let's not talk nonsense, if it causes panic, I don't know if the teacher will ask us to stop our school trip and go back to Tokyo." Shiliang Zhenchun reminded in a low voice.

"That's true, but I don't know what's going on."

Yuan Zi and Xiaolan discussed helplessly.

"By the way, what are we doing today?"

"Group activities in the morning, and free time in the afternoon, when the time comes, we will act according to the schedule set by the class."

Yuan Zi grinned and grabbed Xiaolan and Shiliang.

"Don't worry, I've already planned it, and we'll play by ourselves then, there's a nice Japanese restaurant in Pontocho, and you can go to Izumi High School after lunch."

"Izumi High School?" Xiaolan thought of Okita, who was very similar to Kudo Shinichi or Gao Cheng, "Okita seems to be in that school." ”

During the last kendo tournament incident, Officer Sato picked up Okita's amulet, but he could return it to Okita.

"Okita? Is that high school super similar to Ah Cheng? The garden frowned.

Ah Cheng is good at everything, but there are too many face-hittings, and Kudo is okay, and now there is another Okita.

Wait a minute, how does Ah Cheng look like a collection of two people? It's a detective and a kendo ......

……

The teacher of Didan High School had already learned about the murder from the hotel and the police, and after thinking twice, he hid the students for the time being, and took the students out early to avoid the media reporters who heard about it.

Because the killed Nishiki was the winner of the Naoki Award, there were not a few reporters who rushed to the hotel, even Aya Koji had a headache, and the whole hotel door was in a mess, so if you really want to deal with it, you don't have to deal with it.

"Those four people said they wanted to talk about Takuri, and they planned to secretly go to the restaurant where they had made a reservation for lunch."

Finally avoiding reporters, Aya Xiaolu found Gao Cheng again.

"It's a Japanese restaurant called 'Kyuyama' in Ponto-cho......"

"Pontocho?"

Gao Cheng immediately thought of the code, and the word "first" occasionally appeared on it.

Speaking of which, it seems that there are several kanji on the code paper, which are all characters from the place names of Kyoto.

After a pause, Gao Cheng took out his mobile phone to find it for the first time.

It's not his delusion, it's all a few towns he knows.

Re-examining the cipher paper, he found some clues, even though he was not a cryptographic expert.

On the surface, the Chinese characters on the paper seem to be crooked, but they are basically within 3 rows, and the horizontal spacing is also very special.

"Kudo," Gao Cheng replied simply, and after passing Ayakoji, he hurriedly found Kudo Shinichi, who was still researching, "You should have found out too, right?" The arrangement of these Chinese characters is not simple. ”

"Huh?" Kudo Shinichi was at a loss, and nodded blankly when he heard this.

What did he find?

"If you add a grid to this piece of paper based on the four black squares at the beginning, you can see it clearly," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "Do you remember the old man who used to make origami codes on the day of Haneda Hideyoshi's competition?" This cipher paper was typed and printed by the computer, and there should have been a grid. ”

Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up: "There is still such a thing?" If you add the grid, the first 4 black squares are actually black and white 9-squares, and the subsequent text positions correspond to the 5 white squares in the up, down, left, right, and middle...... There is hope that the code has been solved! ”

"I'll leave the code cracking to you, I'll go out."

Gao Cheng saw his ability very clearly, it was okay to solve the mystery of the incident, this kind of thing was still suitable for Kudo Shinichi, and he also wanted to find Saddle Chikeiko and a few others to learn more about the case.

……

In Pontocho, after Takasei leaves the hotel, he meets with Ayakoji and a few other parties at the agreed Japanese restaurant.

In the tatami room, everyone kneels on the ground.

"Tengu appeared in Mr. Agada's room?" Gao Cheng took a sip of tea and looked at Ayakoji in surprise, who provided new information.

He had thought that the murderer might continue to kill, but he was still playing Tengu's tricks.

"yes!"

Saddle Chikeiko and the others seemed to remember the horror scene again.

"When we heard Agada shouting and rushed over, a huge tengu hung from the ceiling, almost like a tokusatsu movie, and Agada threw an ashtray at him, and the tengu burned and disappeared......"

Hearing this, Gao Cheng looked at Ah Hetian, who seemed to have palpitations on the other side.

With deep-set eye sockets and shaggy hair that almost covers his eyes, he looks like a relatively deep person.

is the soundtrack artist for the film crew.

It is said that after Nishiki was killed last night, Agada couldn't sleep when he went back to his room, so he planned to go to the bar to drink a glass of wine and then sleep, but he drank too much and fell unconscious, and when he woke up, he had already returned to his room, and when he was about to smoke a cigarette, he found a tengu on top of his head......

It's very strange, this Agada has a bulge on his forehead like the killed Nishiki, but he was too lucky, he didn't have anything else to do, and he just let out a shout to lure the people in the next few rooms, and even used an ashtray to make the tengu burn and disappear.

It's not so much about being attacked, it's about directing and acting on your own.

However, there is no evidence, and it is difficult for him to say that this soundtrack artist is a murderer, so he can only say that it is very suspicious.

"By the way, Detective Joto," Ayakoji pulled Gao Cheng to continue, "Regarding yesterday's scene investigation, most of the blood stains on the ceiling were paint, only the middle part was blood that was temporarily sprayed, and no murder weapons were found at the scene. ”

"Where's the note paper on the floor mixed with the manuscript?" Gao Cheng continued to ask.

"It's electrostatic note paper, and it's easy to attach to manuscripts, so I'm afraid it's Nishiki's habit...... However, upon inspection, it was found that there was indeed some paint on the note. ”

"That's right."

Gao Cheng made up his mind a little.

Yesterday, he took a look at the manuscripts scattered on the ground at the scene.

No detail at the scene of the murder can be ignored, and the more inconspicuous it is, the more likely it is to be related to the truth, so he is curious about the murderer's purpose in scattering the manuscript all over the place.

It doesn't look like it was accidentally dropped.

If you can't set the ceiling in 10 minutes, it means that the traces are already there, but they are hidden by some means.

What he was looking for was the murderer's hidden methods.
