Chapter 352: Uncle Maori Encounters an Impostor

Just outside the Aoi House is the Forest Intersection, which is said to be a well-known suicide forest, but the situation has improved a lot over the years.

Gao Cheng sat by the window and looked out, his ears were full of insects, full of rural atmosphere, he had been in the metropolis of Tokyo for a long time, and it was not bad to live in this kind of forest once in a while, and the air was very fresh.

Of course, after a long time, you will definitely not be able to stand it......

"Oh, detective, you're here!" Suddenly, the boss shouted in the lobby of the hotel, "Really, I didn't even notice it...... By the way, didn't you say on the phone that there would be three people coming over tonight? ”

A man in a moustache suit stood in front of the counter: "Because the work at hand was completed relatively early, I came here first...... What about things? ”

The innkeeper had a Chinese face, wore small glasses, and had a small mustache under his nose, and took out a suitcase with a smile: "This is the briefcase I mentioned to you, and I haven't seen anything in five years...... Because it's locked all the time, I want to see it......"

"No problem, I'll find a way to deal with the lock." The mustache took the suitcase and was about to leave.

"Well," the innkeeper hesitated, "can you open it here?" ”

"You don't have to worry," Mustache snorted, "once the puzzle is solved, I, Mori Kogoro, will tell you right away!" ”

Gao Cheng walked through the corridor and looked into the lobby, but he didn't see Uncle Maori, only a mustache who helped sign autographs at the request of the hotel staff and residents, and he looked very popular.

"Who is he?" Gao Cheng asked a girl employee in a yukata overalls next to him.

"Don't you know? I heard that it's a detective in Tokyo, and it's a sleeping Kogoro! The girl wondered, "Who are you?" It looks like ......"

"I'm a resident here, Kanedaichi," Gao Cheng smiled awkwardly, "I've read the report, that Maori Kogoro doesn't seem to be like this, right?" ”

"This was specially invited by the boss, so there should be no problem...... And didn't you say that the great detective is a mustache? The girl took the signature board expectantly, "Okay, hurry up and ask for an autograph, it's rare for a big detective to come to this kind of place." ”

Gao Cheng was a little speechless.

Is it so nice to meet Uncle Maori? Besides, the mustache in front of him is not the foolish uncle at all......

Strange, is Uncle Maori already so well-known? There are even people who specialize in counterfeiting.

Xiao Ai walked to Gao Cheng's side with his hands behind his back: "The purpose should be for that suitcase, it seems that things are really not simple." ”

"yes."

Gao Cheng silently watched the mustache return to the guest room with the suitcase, not knowing what this person was thinking, just wrote down the room first.

"Room 209 ......"

……

Outside the hotel, there is a path through the forest, and Xiaolan and her party are walking with their bags, shrouded in the surrounding summer atmosphere as if they are on an outing.

"The air here is awesome," said Lan happily, "and you should go out into nature more." ”

Uncle Maori wore sunglasses and complained and looked around: "Even if the air here is good, there is no need to take a taxi to walk through this forest, right?" ”

"What's the matter, we're going to the hotel we're going to through the forest anyway, and it's still very early before the appointed time, isn't it?"

"I was going to get there early and take a hot bath."

Uncle Maori sighed regretfully.

Since when did you always take Xiaolan out to work, even since Conan, the little ghost, came, it seems that every time I bring the two of them, my luck is better, although there are often fatal cases......

"Speaking of which, that guy from Joto seems to be in Gunma Prefecture too, right? Hmph, every time I run into him, it's a plague god......"

"Senior Chenghu should have gone back today," Xiao Lanchao looked at the uncle with concern, "Dad, why are you wearing a pair of sunglasses?" Take it off, it will give a bad impression! ”

"How's that going to work?" Uncle Maori snorted, "I can't let them know that the famous Maori Kogoro has been bitten by mosquitoes on his eyelids, and if there are my detective fans in that hotel, won't it be embarrassing?" ”

Uncle Maori began to think about it, and there was a look of imagination on his face: it would be better if there were young girls, and he would like to stay a few more days.

On the side of the forest road, there was a small stone man with a red scarf, which stopped in front of the uncle, and immediately tripped the uncle and fell face to the ground and gnawed on the mud.

"Damn! Who the hell put the stone here?! The uncle rubbed his face and scolded and looked at the stone man.

"It's dead." Conan slumped his eyelids and couldn't follow.

Just like the uncle, do you still need to cover your eyelids with sunglasses?

"This is Jizo Bodhisattva," Xiaolan squatted down in surprise to support the stone man, "I don't know why it fell to the ground, hurry up and help it up......"

"Don't move, hey!" A car passed by the road, and the Gunma Prefecture police officer Yamamura Cao poked his head out and shouted, "If you lift that Jizo Bodhisattva up, you will all be cursed!" ”

"Huh?"

Uncle Maori looked at the visitor, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a cold sweat flowed: "It's actually this guy...... I'd rather run into a city boy......"

……

At the Aoi House Hotel, Yamamura drove a few Maori uncles to the door, and immediately a staff member ran out.

"Welcome, I'll help you park your car in the parking lot......"

"I'm sorry for you."

Gao Cheng happened to be dining with Gray Yuan, and when he heard the movement, he looked out the window, and sure enough, he saw Conan and his gang walking into the hotel.

The rookie police officer Yamamura Cao, who I saw at Yamanai's house last time, is also together......

This guy was also the first policeman he had met who was afraid of corpses, and he was even more unreliable than Uncle Maori.

"This hotel is really good." Yamamura walked into the hotel lobby with a sigh.

"Haven't you been here?" Uncle Maori wondered, "I just said I was going to come back to that employee to find out the situation......

"Last time, I asked him to go to the police station for questioning." Yamamura said as a matter of course.

"Mr. Officer!" A staff member in the middle of the branch approached, "Welcome." ”

"Mr. Urakawa," Yamamura introduced Uncle Mori, "this is Mr. Urakawa, who found the body. ”

Gao Cheng lowered the brim of his hat and walked into the lobby, and at a glance he saw the Maori uncle wearing sunglasses and a bag, and it seemed that he had already known about the impostor, and he was confused and was regarded as the follower of "Maori Kogoro".

"He's really nice, our hotel staff asked him to sign it, you see," the boss smiled and took out the signature pad and handed it to Uncle Maori, reminding, "Don't get dirty, I'm going to frame it......"

"Huh."

"Sir!" The parking clerk walked into the hotel and shouted at Uncle Maori with a mobile phone, "Ling Yuan seems to have forgotten her phone in the car...... This is Ling Yuan's, right? ”

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry for you."

Uncle Maori took the phone, and suddenly saw Gao Cheng leaning against the side of the corridor, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"City, city boy?! How did you end up here? ”

"Why can't I be here?" Gao Cheng didn't have a good breath and said, "Uncle, that guy is in room 209, hurry up and take a look, I just knocked on the door and ignored me...... I guess it's still in the room. ”

"Shh Uncle Maori grabbed Gao Cheng and whispered mysteriously, "Don't worry, let me tell you, don't period dramas often have this kind of wonderful scene where the deity encounters an impostor?" I'll put up with it, and when that guy starts doing ridiculous reasoning, I'll reappear and show amazing reasoning skills......"

Saying that, Uncle Maori looked at Gao Cheng with some anxiety: "Let's say it first, this time it has nothing to do with you, and you are not allowed to interfere!" ”

"Hey, hey."

Gao Cheng's eyes slumped.

Is now the time to be in the limelight? In terms of your reasoning ability, you are also amazingly reasoning ability......

But it's okay, the imposter must have taken the suitcase to solve the mystery inside, maybe it happened to have something to do with the secret of the suitcase.

"Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen you, Detective Joto," Yamamura Cao was quite excited to see Gao Cheng, "What a coincidence, the last time we met was at Yamanai's house...... Are you here this time, like the Maori detectives, for the man in red? ”

"He said Detective Joto......" The female employee next to him discussed in a low voice, "Are you talking about which detective?" ”

"I don't know, that person said his name was Kaneda Ichi......"

"Ahem," Gao Cheng said with a dry smile when he saw that the hotel staff were looking over, "Let's go to the house first and then talk." ”

Shan Muracao was stunned in confusion, and when he heard the voices of the surrounding residents, he reacted and said, "Understand, understand." ”

"By the way, this gentleman," the boss suppressed his doubts and asked Uncle Maori, "can I register for accommodation first?" I'm going to have to prepare the room......"
