Chapter 387: The Murderer Is Me

At the Matsue Police Station in Shimane Prefecture, the members of the Lianjikai were gathered in the conference room for investigation, and Gao Cheng and Conan walked to the side aisle together to contact Tomo Nagatoshio, who had met with Niu Nagashi yesterday.

"Yes, I would like to ask you something about Mr. Niu...... In addition to recording stock information in his notebook, did Mr. Niu write anything yesterday? ”

"Well," said the permanent man, "Yesterday we talked about haiku, and then I made a sentence, and Mr. Niu was very happy to hear it, so he immediately wrote it down in his notebook, and I remember that it was, 'One day, father and daughter will be able to visit the Temple of Flowers together'......"

"Thank you."

Gao Cheng put away his mobile phone, turned to Conan and said, "Let's go separately, I'll be in charge of the Teien Art Museum and Tsukilshoji Temple, and I'll leave it to you over to Shiomi and the Prefectural Art Museum." ”

"Okay."

Tiffany Garden Art Museum.

After Gao Cheng got off the bus, he immediately went to the place where Ryosuke Shiina made a sentence in the morning.

According to Ryosuke Shiina, he saw a work called "The Window of the Deer" in the museum and was inspired to write the poem "The gods of heaven and earth gather here only for the window of the deer".

But the most important thing is the alibi of Ryosuke Shiina's case, after all, in terms of time, one morning is enough time to return here after killing someone......

"This gentleman," the staff member nodded when he saw the photo provided by Gao Cheng, "I still have some impressions, because he stood for a while in front of the fountain in the English garden, talking to himself as if he were writing haiku." ”

"Do you remember the time?"

"It seems to be around 11 o'clock."

"11 o'clock?"

Gao Cheng walked to the fountain that the staff said, frowned, and noticed that there were three round holes in the soil of the bushes in the flower garden next to him, arranged in a regular triangle, which was very inconspicuous.

The time of the crime was around 10 o'clock, and even though the Teien Art Museum was the farthest from Matsue Castle, there was still plenty of time to travel back and forth, and Ryosuke Shiina did not have a sufficient alibi.

What is more suspicious is why Ryosuke Shiina went out of his way to the fountain outside to compose poems after watching "The Window of the Deer", and these three strange round holes, which look like traces of a fixed tripod......

Shiomi rope hand, a samurai house, and a student, Kawaguchi Mizushiro, said that he stayed in the lounge from 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock, and composed a poem in the lounge, "The sun is beautiful and the wind is harmonious, and the maple is red."

Conan hurried into the courtyard and found the only maple tree, only to find a tree separated from the lounge.

"I can't see the maple tree from the lounge at all......"

At the Songjiang Police Station, Gao Cheng and Conan converged again.

"So Miss Kawaguchi is lying?"

"Yes," Conan nodded, "As for the prefectural art museum, no one remembers Reiko-sensei. ”

"I went to Getterusa Temple to ask the abbot, and at around 11 o'clock today, the abbot saw that Mr. Yagisawa had been thinking about things in front of the stone turtle," Gao Cheng pondered, "Mr. Shiina was also seen by the staff at about 11 o'clock......

"What? Do you want to continue to hold the Sentence Conference? Suddenly, Uncle Maori exclaimed in the conference room.

"That's right," Ryosuke Shiina explained, "the police will continue to investigate, and we would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Mr. Ushizuki...... Mr. Maori, would you like to join us too? ”

"Me?" Uncle Maori's mustache curled, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'll forget it......"

"Uncle, why don't you participate," Conan chimed in, "aren't you Japan's No. 1 detective?" ”

"No. 1 in Japan and Japan?" The uncle was poked in the heart, and when he saw Gao Cheng suddenly, he immediately coughed and said, "This, okay......"

"Detective Najoto......"

"I'll forget it, haha," Gao Cheng picked up Conan like a chicken, "let this kid take my place." ”

"Huh?" Reiko Ando and others wiped their sweat one after another, "But ......"

"Don't worry," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "This little ghost is very powerful, he can even fly a plane." ”

Conan glared at Gao Cheng with a stinky face: I knew it would be like this, is it really embarrassing to use others as shields......

"Anyway, it's by the way," Gao Cheng walked to the corner and patted Conan on the shoulder, and whispered, "You also want to find out the murderer at the Lian Ji Conference, don't you?" ”

"Well," Conan said indignantly, "remember, you owe me a favor. ”

"Got it."

Gao Cheng shook his head, suddenly sensed a sight behind him, and suddenly turned his head to look at the people who were walking out of the conference room one after another.

"What's wrong?" Conan walked to the side and looked down at the group, "Do you know who the murderer is?" ”

"If it's just a guess, I do have a candidate."

Gao Cheng quietly looked at the backs of the people in the Lian Ju assembly.

"The method is not clever, but it lacks key evidence......"

"Really?" The corners of Conan's mouth rose, "It seems that you think the same as I think, and it should be right that the murderer is him." ”

……

When Gao Cheng and the Songjiang police came over, a red carpet had been laid out in the open space in the middle of the courtyard lawn, and the people were sitting together, and there was a small pool surrounded by stones next to it, which looked quite elegant.

Uncle Maori frowned and listened to Reiko Ando's explanation of the rules of conjunction, and it seemed that he had regretted his momentary pleasure......

"We're going to use fourteen sentences this time," Reiko Ando presided, "because there are two beginners, so in order to make it easier for Mr. Mori and Conan to join, we will do it in a terminal method, and as long as you follow a few basic rules, you can play freely with the rest......

"First of all, let's start with the sentence of 575, and then we will alternate sentences with 77 sentences and 575 sentences, the first two sentences should pay special attention to the words at the end of the end, and the next sentences can be added to spring, summer, autumn and winter and so on.

"Boom." Uncle Maori swallowed dryly, completely unaware.

I didn't listen to a word, damn it, why do you have to say yes......

The uncle couldn't help but look at Gao Cheng, who was talking to the police on the other side, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Still haven't found the murder weapon?" Gao Cheng and Songjiang stood by the courtyard together, "What about the witnesses?" Didn't anyone in Matsue Castle see them? ”

"Our police officers have already asked carefully," Officer An Lai, the criminal police officer of Songjiang, frowned, "There was no one at the scene of the incident at all, and the bus driver had no impression of them. ”

"That's ......"

Gao Cheng looked back at the people in the middle of the courtyard.

The key is to figure out why Kawaguchi Mizujo lied......

"Although everyone made good sentences," Reiko Ando recorded on the sentence book, "but today is for Mr. Ushizu, so I will use his poem 'Autumn is high and cool, as if my life is free from wind and frost'...... Who will then make the coercion? ”

Uncle Maori was stunned: "What is a coercion sentence?" ”

"It's the meaning of the second sentence, it has to be the same season as the aria......"

"I'll do it."

Ryosuke Shiina raised his hand and read the poem he had written on a long note: "The trees are lush and quiet, and the falling fruit is sonorous...... How about this sentence? ”

"This sentence does have the effect of connecting the past and the future," Reiko Ando commented, recorded on the sentence book, "Next, I will ask Yagisawa to pick up ......"

"Okay."

Yagisawa picked up the note, thought about it for a while, and began to write: "The third sentence I wrote was 'The moon is bright and the wind is high, and the vampires are unscrupulous'......"

"Huh?" Uncle Maori was dumbfounded, "Is it okay to write poetry like this?" ”

Reiko Ando smiled: "Yes, the more whimsical the third sentence, the better, the vampire is very ingenious......

Gao Cheng collapsed his eyelids.

How do you feel that this sentence is very bottom-notch, plus Uncle Maori is here, it feels like the grade is so low.

But......

Gao Cheng looked at Conan, who seemed to be conceiving a sentence.

The victim Niu Lu's notebook should have been torn off a page by the murderer, and it seems to be because of the poem that Niu Lu intends to use today.

If the murderer is one of these people, it is very likely that they will be used, and the key is whether Conan can be used at this conjunction conference.

It's just that I still don't know what Niu Ku's outstretched index finger means, of course, it can't be that he is referring to the bamboo forest, if it is to point to the direction of the samurai house where Kawaguchi Mizujo is located, it makes sense, and Kawaguchi Mizujo just lied.

In addition, the blood-stained fingertips seem to have touched something......

Wait a minute.

Gao Cheng looked at the people who answered the sentence again, and his gaze stayed on Ryosuke Shiina.

If the deceased is not referring to something, but simply raising a finger, it is more likely, after all, the message of pointing the direction is really clueless and not intuitive enough.

Since Mr. Niu Wei is a conjunction, maybe it has something to do with conjunction.

Gao Cheng walked behind Reiko Ando, who was presiding over the sentence conference, with both hands, and leaned over to look at the sentences that everyone received.

"How?" Reiko Ando smiled, "Is Detective Joto interested in trying it too?" ”

"Well, next time."

Gao Cheng looked at the few books placed next to him, and in addition to a serial introduction, there was also a dictionary-like thick book.

"Reiko-sensei, what kind of book is this?"

"Well, this is a dictionary of nouns, and it's specially used when making conjunctions......"

"Is it the material used in the couplet?"

Gao Cheng quickly flipped through the dictionary, and suddenly paused when he turned to clothing, shoes and hats, and his eyes stopped on a page introducing the content of hiking shoes.

Speaking of which, Ryosuke Shiina is also wearing a pair of hiking boots, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the case......

"Huh?"

Gao Cheng's gaze swept over the sentences recorded by Reiko Ando again, and all the sentences made by Ryosuke Shiina were clear at a glance, the 7th word of the 7th sentence, the 9th character of the 9th sentence, and the 11th word of the 11th sentence......

When connected, it is full of provocation, and directly points out "the murderer is me" in the couplet.

Gao Cheng closed his eyes, and all the sentences on the thin sentence flashed in his mind.

Teien Art Museum, Tsukishoji Temple...... The scene of the Matsue Castle incident, as well as the speeches of the congregation, were all gathered together......

There are still not enough clues, the police are too slow to be efficient, and nothing has been found.

We can't go on like this......

"Detective Joto," Officer Yasulai asked in a low voice, "did you find anything?" ”

"Still can't find any useful clues......"

Gao Cheng put down the dictionary and turned to the puzzled crowd.

"Miss Kawaguchi, did you really think of the sentence you prepared in the lounge of the samurai house?"

"yes, yes." Kawaguchi Mizujo tightened his palms.

"But Conan has been there," Gao Cheng's eyes sank slightly, "I can't see the maple tree from the lounge at all, can you please explain?" ”

"Well, maybe I'm somewhere else......"

"Where?"

"Well...... this"

"You saw it when you went to the samurai's house from the bamboo forest in Edo Castle, right?" Gao Cheng continued, "If you are not a murderer, why lie? ”

"No, no, I'm just ......"

"Or do you see something? For example, I saw Mr. Yagizawa's murder process......"

"No, it's not! I didn't see him kill, I just went there......" Kawaguchi Mizushiro's face changed dramatically.

"How about going there?" Gao Cheng looked directly at Kawaguchi Shuicheng, who bowed his head and was silent, as if he realized that he had missed his mouth, and Kawaguchi Shuicheng bit his lip and didn't respond.

Officer Yasulai frowned and walked to Kawaguchi Mizujo's side: "Miss Kawaguchi, if you have anything to say, let's wait until you get to the police station." ”

"Watercity ......"

The people of the Lianju congregation watched as Kawaguchi Mizujo was taken away with complicated expressions.

"How so?"

"Detective Joto," Ryosuke Shiina worried, "Is Miss Mizushiro really the murderer?" ”

"It's not for sure for the time being," Gao Cheng shook his head, "but if she hasn't been willing to explain clearly, the police can only think so...... Then you guys finish the Lian Sentence Conference first, and I'll go and have a look. ”

"Please, Detective Joto, I think Miss Mizujo must have something to worry about." The corners of Ryosuke Shiina's mouth turned up slightly imperceptibly, and quickly turned into sadness.
