Rice Flower Town 2-chome, Kudo Shin's family is undoubtedly a mansion compared to Takasei's current snail house.

It has been snowing for a long time in the night, and the snowflakes are falling with the howling cold wind, like a snow country, bringing a late Christmas atmosphere to the streets.

Under the street lamp in front of Kudo's mansion, Mao Lilan wrapped up the thin clothes on his body, pulled the scarf around his neck, and kept warming his hands with hot air on his red face.

In an alley next to the mansion, Dr. Asa looked at Gao Cheng helplessly: "She doesn't know what's wrong, she's been waiting when you got here, and I don't know what to do." ”

After glancing at Gao Cheng alone, Dr. Asa whispered into Conan's ear again, "Is it okay to tell him his true identity like this?" ”

"No way, he already knew it before," Conan shook his head in the doctor's surprised gaze, "Joto is very good at reasoning, and may have deliberately followed me, and I didn't suspect it when I tried to tell him my identity......"

At the end of the murder case, Tatsushi Kimura felt the invisible pressure brought by Gao Cheng, and he still confessed his identity in the end, and cooperated with Gao Cheng to find the murderer.

Then, after the incident at the police station was over, he originally planned to let Gao Cheng and the doctor meet, but he didn't expect to see Mao Lilan waiting at the door of his house.

That lonely look is heart-wrenching......

"Maybe she remembered you," Gao Cheng sighed lightly, "what are you going to do now?" Give her another call? ”

"Joto," Conan suddenly looked at Gao Cheng with a serious face, "can you do me a favor?" ”

"Huh?"

……

A snowflake fell on Moriran's face, she came back to her senses, glanced at the Kudo Mansion behind her again, and was about to leave, but the lights in the house suddenly turned on.

"Shinichi?"

When he was at the police station, Gao Cheng cooperated with Conan to solve the puzzle, and the look of that reasoning was really similar to Kudo Shinichi, Mao Lilan left the police station uncontrollably and left the police station early, and unknowingly arrived in front of the house.

"Is it the new, the new one?" Maoliran hurried into the hall, "Are you home?" Shinichi! Answer me quickly......"

"Smack!" As Maolilan shouted, the lights suddenly went out again, and the surroundings became pitch black.

"There's a power outage? New ......"

Mao Lilan shouted in the house with a trembling voice, and in a hurry, a slender figure appeared on the side of the stairs on the second floor, which was not very real in the dark, but there was still a familiar feeling.

"Shinichi?" Afraid that he was dreaming, Mao Lilan said worriedly, "Is that you?" New ......"

"It's me," Kudo Shinichi's voice rang out, "I'm finally back here, Ran......"

"New, new ......" Mao Lilan's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was choked.

"Fool, what are you crying about," Conan said with a bow voice changer, "do you really want to see me so much?" ”

"Who? Who wants to see you bastard! Mao Lilan wiped away her tears, "It's not that you don't blame you for not seeing people all the time......

"Xiaolan, to be honest, I'm really happy to see you......" Kudo Shinichi said sincerely, and without waiting for Mao Lilan to go upstairs, he followed up and remembered, "Ah, I have to go, I have a case that I haven't sorted out yet...... See you later, Lan. ”

"Wait...... Shinichi! Seeing the figure on the second floor leaving, Mao Lilan hurriedly wanted to go up the stairs, but the light in the room came on again.

Shinichi Kudo left, leaving only a beautiful paper bag with a note on it at the top of the stairs.

"It's a Christmas gift for you, hope you like it! The new one. ”

Behind Kudo's mansion, Gao Cheng jumped off the wall with Conan in his arms and asked curiously, "What did you give?" ”

"It's nothing," Conan said with a faint smile on his face, "not a big deal." ”

Gao Cheng didn't continue to ask, but just looked back at the house in the night snow: "I thought I would at least hug it." ”

"Stupid, wouldn't that be revealing?" Connan glared with a red neck.

……

In the howling cold wind, Gao Cheng walked alone in the snow by the street lights, and from time to time snow got into his neck.

It's just that Gao Cheng didn't seem to care at this time, and his thoughts completely returned to today's incident.

The murderer's method of poisoning was very unexpected, not by applying poison to the microphone, but by applying poison to the elbow part of the inside of Kimura's coat, and as long as Kimura wore his coat, the inner shirt would also be stained with poison.

Then he deliberately helped Kimura order the famous song, and used Kimura's habitual stage action when singing the famous song, that is, the action of throwing off his coat and holding his elbow to sing before singing, and successfully made Kimura Tatsuya's right hand stained with potassium cyanate.

After the incident, the murderer unknowingly replaced Kimura's coat to prevent the police from detecting potassium cyanate on the coat, which completely confused the police investigation and gradually led to suicide.

However, this method was finally seen through by Conan, and the suspicion was locked on several members of the Rex Orchestra who had the same coat as Tatsuya.

The evidence was a lighter that was still in the pocket of Tatsuya Kimura's coat.

After Gao Cheng cooperated with the three suspects to take off their coats for examination, he found a lighter in the jacket worn by the agent, and also checked the potassium cyanate reaction on the inside.

Not to mention that the agent is actually the murderer, what makes Gao Cheng care is that Conan even noticed such a small detail as a lighter, and used it as a key clue.

In the flying snowflakes, the system light curtain popped up again, showing an additional 100 prestige, compared to this 100 prestige value, because solving the celebrity poisoning incident received media attention is undoubtedly the biggest gain.

However, this time it was basically based on Conan's reasoning......

Gao Cheng looked at the exchange option that followed the prestige, his eyes paused for a moment, and he still put away the light curtain.

"Forget it, that's it, Shinichi Kudo, one day I will definitely become a real detective."

Gao Cheng tightened his clothes, returned to the Chenghu Detective Office alone, turned on the light, and sat curled up on the sofa, finally feeling a little warmer.

Feeling a little lonely, I turned on the TV again, only to find some boring late-night programs.

Since the two coffee shop ladies downstairs left, not only did they not drink hot coffee, but they didn't even have a neighbor to talk to.

However, when I think of my savings, I can barely be happy.

Despite the unexpected incident, Mieko paid the rest of his commission fee, which was not much, a total of only 300,000 yen, but it was worth his savings for the past few months.

Gao Cheng soaked a bowl of cup noodles, added a ham reward, and ate it with the snow outside the window.

After calculating this month's expenses, you can still leave a lot of money, and even if you don't have a commission in the next month, you can live for a while.

Sure enough, it's much better than those small commissions, no wonder some detectives can eat for years at a time.
