Chapter 814: Gunma Prefecture and the Old Man's Client
After the Ryoma Exhibition incident, the detective agency finally got busy again, and Gao Cheng received a commission to go on a business trip to Gunma Prefecture, so he had to let Xiao Ai live at Yuanzi's house for a few days.

……
The ability to be fully learned will be included in the system, except for the language class, most of which he is introduced through the system card.
Now it seems that daily learning can indeed promote the transformation from beginner to proficient, but it is not as comprehensive as the system card, not so stable, and I feel that the "mastery" of the level of professional experts in the back can only rely on the system card, at least he does not have the energy to improve a certain ability to mastery now.
In addition, the camouflage card is still the same, and Kidd's powered flight suit was upgraded by the old man at Black Feather Kaito last time, after all, it is much better to be powered than to be unpowered.
On this day, Gao Cheng drove to Gunma Prefecture alone, ready to go to the Kora Hotel that had booked a room in advance to rest for the night, in fact, there was only this hotel in the forest, I heard that the innkeeper had been killed before, and the person who took over did not change his name for some reason, and continued to use it to greet passing travelers.
Because of the legend of the kappa, there are still many tourists in this remote place, and when crossing the forest road, Gao Cheng came across a tourist who parked his car on the side of the road.
Probably to the hell swamp in this area, where the legendary kappa roost.
The Kwangra Hotel is located upstream of the river, and if you drive along the road, you will gradually see the roof of a hotel perched on high ground.
Gao Cheng and the client made an appointment to meet here.
Probably very few people will go all the way to Tokyo to invite him, but this kind of business trip is also a habit, after all, there is a lot of commission fees, and in the end, he has to make a trip.
"Really? What I was looking for was the sleeping Kogoro? Gao Cheng's brow jumped.
When the hotel met with the young client, he was complained about before he had a formal conversation, and the other party seemed to be quite disappointed after seeing him, thinking that he was a child detective.
"When the former owner of this inn was killed, it was the case solved by the sleeping Kogoro," the old man of the client said with regret, "It's a pity that I can't contact him, saying that he is busy with other cases, so I have to invite you over." ”
"Hey, Hey, ......"
Gao Cheng looked at the old man's sighing appearance and his face darkened for a while.
He really didn't know that Uncle had solved the case here, but I think it was also solved by Conan......
"At that time, the innkeeper drowned in the attic in the swamp 10 kilometers away, and everyone thought that the kappa did it, but Mr. Mori thought it was man-made," the old man continued, "and finally it was found that the murderer was the teacher of the son who had killed his son in the past, and he came here with a pile of paint bottles of water, and afterwards diluted the paint stored in the straw with tap water and put it back in the paint bottle...... It's quite a wonderful reasoning! ”
Gao Cheng held his chin, and his eyelids almost fought.
"I'm sorry, but can you tell us more about the details of the commission?"
Finally coping with the client, Gao Chengcai breathed a sigh of relief and went back to his room first.
However, although he didn't like the old man's tone very much, he was also a little curious about the murder that happened here, because the murderer's motive for killing was not announced in the end, and there were few news reports.
Listening to the hotel staff, it was not the uncle who solved the case, and the mountain village police department at that time.
Yes, it's that mountain village, the fool policeman who can be met almost every case in Gunma Prefecture, and I don't know if that guy's luck is good or bad, he can always run into the Maori family, but he was also promoted to the police department.
After taking a shower, Gao Cheng went up to the attic where it was said to be the scene of the crime in a yukata.
As the staff said, the attic window was able to see the river meandering through the verdant trees below, where the former innkeeper often watched with binoculars, supposedly to prevent others from repeating the mistake of his drowned son who played by the river.
"Sure enough, it's really that young detective Kindo Gao Cheng," a coral bearded man followed him up to the attic, and said in surprise when he saw Gao Cheng, "Are you here to investigate the last case?" The case has been solved......"
"Ah, no," Gao Cheng retracted his gaze from the outside, "just a little curious, so I came over to take a look......"
"It's also a sad thing to say," the bearded man sighed, and introduced himself, "I was a reporter who lived here at the time, originally to investigate the incident of Kappa's haunt 11 years ago, and the innkeeper's son caused a lot of commotion by pretending to be a kappa in private from the boss for the sake of the family's hotel business, but I didn't expect that 11 years later, my son's teacher mistakenly thought that the boss killed the students in order to attract customers......
"It turns out that this is the truth of the Kappa incident."
Gao Cheng was stunned.
"That kid had an accident while pretending to be a kappa?"
"Yes, because everyone says that kappa only appears when the weather is warm, and there is some suspicion, but the child went when the weather was bad and cold, and it turned out that there was a big flood, and it was from that time that the boss who knew the truth would come here to monitor the river with a telescope whenever he was free, and stopped many tourists......"
The bearded man looked helpless.
"If everyone had known the truth from the beginning, the boss wouldn't have been killed because of a misunderstanding."
Gao Cheng said silently: "If you don't have a close relationship, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened." ”
"Who said it wasn't, the teacher regretted it too late in the end," the bearded man finally said, looked at Gao Cheng and asked, "By the way, the detective from the city is here, is there something going on?" ”
"I happen to have a job here." Gao Cheng thought of the old man who always talked about Maori Kogoro.
The old man gave a lot of commission fees, but he wanted him to help find his first love, saying that he would live in a few days and wanted to see him again at the end.
Sure enough, it's always so special to find Uncle Maori first.
Gao Cheng only stayed at the Guangluo Hotel for one night, and when he left the next morning, he didn't even meet with reporters again.
There are fewer murders in the countryside than in the cities, but they are not uncommon, and tragedies like the Guangluo Hotel caused by misunderstanding are just one of them.
Sometimes the meaning of the detective's search for the truth is here, but if the teacher is willing to ask a reliable detective to investigate, it will not cause irreparable consequences.
At least as a private detective, he is quite responsible for each commission, and perhaps invisibly resolves a lot of conflicts.
Japan is a mountainous country, and it can be seen from various small-scale battles during the Warring States Period, after Gao Cheng took the commission, he also drove the old man around the mountains, in addition to comparing the map, he often had to ask the locals.
It's just that after passing through a foothill field, Gao Cheng accidentally broke into the mountain forest, and by the time he reacted, he had already lost his way.
"Old man...... Mr. Seto, is the map you looking for reliable? ”
Gao Cheng felt that he was completely in the wrong direction, but he could only continue to look at the car and wait until he left the mountain.
"Aren't all maps the same?" The old man snorted, "It's obvious that you're lost, if it's a Maori detective......"
"Okay, let's go out first."
Gao Cheng's ears were cocooned, and he hurriedly interrupted: "But your clues are too few, the first love decades ago actually knew that the other party was called a princess, and later married into a big family in Gunma County...... You can't be a crush, right? ”
The old man was angry, and said with a puffed face: "It's all more than fifty years ago, who can remember it clearly?!" ”
"But," Gao Cheng continued to drive in the mountains and forests, "if the other party is still alive, he will be 74 years old, right?" Is it really still there? ”
The old man fell silent, hugged his arms and hummed: "We agreed back then, she will definitely walk behind me......"
Stubborn old man.
Gao Cheng shook his head secretly.
Even if you are still alive, you have been married for so many years, and your grandchildren don't know how much, is it really meaningful to meet again?
"This is already the third place, I heard that the dog Fu family here is a big family, and the hostess conditions are also very suitable, so I brought you here, if you can't do it......"
"For the last time," the old man said with cloudy eyes, "just the last time, I'll add the commission fee!" ”
Gao Cheng said helplessly: "It's better to find a way out first......"
