Chapter 7: One Minute Detective
"Hey, you're not really scared, are you?" The corners of Conan's mouth twitched and muttered, but when he saw Gao Cheng's eyes, he was suddenly stunned.
"This emoji ......"
"Officer Twilight," Gao Cheng was silent for a moment, shouting at Twilight, who was interrogate Nachi, "I think I already know who the real murderer is. β
"What? Are you serious? β
"Isn't the murderer Na Zhi?" Maori Kogoro looked at Gao Cheng's appearance, and somehow thought of Kudo Shinichi, who had been suppressing him in the past, and said dissatisfied, "Don't talk nonsense, the only ones who have the best chance to kill people now are you and Nachi, if it's not him, do you want to say it's yourself?" β
"Of course not."
Gao Cheng put his hands in his pants pockets, walked to the side in a deep voice and looked at the death message and said, "You guys take a closer look, don't you think this 'stone lion' looks strange?" Some of the strokes were apparently added later. β
"Written up?" Mori Kogoro ran to the corpse suspiciously, read the text for a while, and suddenly his face changed, "Wait, there is indeed something wrong, but what is the original?" β
Gao Cheng prompted: "You try to remove the incoherent strokes." β
"What is this?" Although Maori Kogoro was dissatisfied, he still tried according to Gao Cheng's words, and suddenly exclaimed, "After removing a few strokes, I became a handsome guy, speaking of handsome guys...... Sure enough, it's that Chi Shingo! β
"No, it's not me!" Na Zhi Zhenwu was at a loss and said in horror, "I did make an appointment with Anzai, and I met here at half past ten, but, but Anzai was already dead when I came, it's true!" β
Twilight grabbed the Chi Shingo and said, "Okay, stop quibbling!" β
"Officer Twilight, it's true that the murderer isn't him," Gao Cheng interrupted, "I think he just saw a handsome guy written on the ground and added a few strokes in a panic." β
"Not him?" Twilight said confusedly, "What are you talking about?" Who else could it be but him? β
"Also," Gao Cheng said, the corners of his mouth raised, "because, the time of the murder was actually before ten o'clock." β
"What?"
Conan was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and looked at the corpse again: "Could it be ......?"
"That's right," Gao Cheng continued to reason, not waiting for everyone to ask, "It wasn't Mr. Anthy who came out of the hotel at ten o'clock, please take a look at the deceased's watch." β
"Watches?"
"Only the watch on his left hand was not stained with blood, which indicates that someone took his watch down after the deceased was killed, in order to delay the actual crime."
Gao Cheng's gaze swept over the people present: "Deliberately let the alarm go off in the victim's room, and then use a hat and vest to disguise himself as a deceased and return to the shrine, I think the blood stains on the watch should have been wiped off at that time, as for the handsome words on the ground......"
Gao Cheng's gaze fell on Yuji Shimazaki and continued in the other party's panicked gaze: "The handsome guy should have written it to Mr. Nachi in order to blame, right?" β
Twilight was puzzled: "But if he wants to blame Na Zhi, why don't he just write about Na Zhi?" β
"That's because the victim has written down the words that hint at the murderer."
Gao Cheng looked at the night sky, and turned his gaze to Taeko Dougaki beside Yuji Shimazaki: "That's right, I can only make up a few strokes to change it to a handsome guy, and the original text is Dougaki!" Miss Taeko, you are the murdererββ! β
"This guy ......" Conan had a look of horror on his face, staring at Gao Cheng's reasoning closely.
It's all right, but just by looking at the corpse, I deduced it all......
"Who the hell is this guy?" Conan's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and through Gao Cheng's body, he seemed to see a huge mountain.
"Is it really the confused detective the newspaper says it is? Is it a coincidence or a ......"
"How could it be Taeko? Impossible! Yoko Okino and the others reacted from their horror and explained to Taeko Dougaki one after another.
"Didn't Miss Taeko meet someone disguised as Mr. Anzai? It can't be her? β
"Because it's not her who disguises herself as Anzai, Mr. Shimazaki, am I right?" Gao Cheng raised his voice.
"That's right, it's me," Yuji Shimazaki gritted his teeth and stepped forward, "I killed Anzai, and I was the one who disguised himself as Anzai, but there was no name on the ground!" β
"Is that really the case?" Gao Cheng looked directly at Yuji Shimazaki and said, "Mr. Shimazaki, blood is sprayed everywhere around the scene, but there is not a drop of blood on your clothes, as long as you investigate, you will know immediately, the only person who has time to clean the blood stains here is Miss Dougaki." β
"Taeko-san......"
Mao Lilan looked at Taeko Dougaki in disbelief: "How can this be?" β
"Is this true, Taeko Dougaki?" Twilight looked at Gao Cheng in surprise, turned to Taeko and asked.
He didn't expect that Gao Cheng, who looked like he was just a high school student, actually completed his reasoning in front of Mori Kogoro, just like the previous high school student detective Kudo Shinichi.
Taeko Dougaki looked at the confident Gao Cheng in a daze, although there was no absolute evidence, she still covered her face and confessed with tears: "It's true that I killed Anzai, and here he actually came here to blackmail me, I didn't plan to kill him, I just wanted to warn him not to ruin my marriage with Yuji, but, but there was an accident......"
Taeko Dougaki's sad cry gradually spread in the night, and everyone fell silent for a while.
After the incident, the truth was revealed, and it was late at night when Taeko Dougaki was taken away by the police car.
Gao Chengmu sent the police car away, I don't know why, he obviously succeeded in solving a case in front of Conan, but he didn't seem to be very happy.
"Hey," Maori Kogoro didn't think too much, because he was angry because he was robbed of the limelight, and grabbed Gao Cheng tightly, "Who the hell are you?" β
"Me?" Gao Cheng came back to his senses and said with a smile, "My name is Chenghu Gao Cheng, and I am a detective." β
"Detective, detective?" Maori Kogoro's jaw dropped.
"Are you a detective?"
Mao Lilan looked at Gao Cheng in a daze, and then remembered that she seemed to have seen it in the newspaper, but what made her care more was that she seemed to see the shadow of Kudo Shinichi.
"New ......" Maolilan's expression darkened.
"What a hateful fellow, what a smug!" Maori Kogoro muttered depressedly, yawned and said, "Xiaolan, let's go back, I'm too sleepy now." β
β¦β¦
Rice Hotel, Gao Cheng returned to the room, but he still didn't feel sleepy, and his mind was full of reasoning about this incident.
A minute has already passed, and with the end of the case, the system light curtain has changed back to its original state.
It's just that he can't forget that short minute of time, that kind of magical experience, as if he has become superhuman, his brain thinking ability is amazing, and he can see every bit of clues clearly.
It's as if he has become the famous detective Sherlock Holmes.
"Isn't it really going to give me a minute of Sherlock Holmes?"
Gao Cheng put his hands on the back of his head and looked at the system light curtain that had returned to its original state.
After the event, the reputation was increased by another 100, from 0 to 100, which is equivalent to an additional 100,000 yen.
Gao Cheng was not in a hurry to exchange it, and was about to put away the light curtain when a cat suddenly meowed outside.
On the wall of the hotel, the shadow of a cute kitten grows long.
"Meow~"
"Mi?" Gao Cheng reacted, sat up suddenly, and saw that the kitten outside was exactly the same as in the photo, and he didn't even bother to wear clothes, and rushed out of the hotel in a hurry.
"Wait a minute, Mi!"
