Chapter 480: Old House Investigation
"Oh?"
Uncle Serious chuckled and bit the cigarette butt and took out a teacup from the cupboard.
"It's a detective from Tokyo, but it's different from ordinary people...... But I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think, you look at a teacup, it seems that someone used it as an ashtray, there are a lot of different types of cigarettes in it, interesting, right? ”
Hattori's face changed slightly, and he took the teacup: "Before we arrived here, did a group of unknown guys gather here?" The water used to extinguish the fire at the bottom of the cup has not yet dried up......"
"Yes," said the uncle, with a depressed smile, "there may be more than one murderer hiding on this island, and perhaps they are hiding somewhere, waiting for an opportunity, ready to take our souls." ”
"Really, really?" Xiaolan and the two huddled together in fear, "Will they be ambushed in this house?" ”
The young man in the vest shook his head and said, "Impossible, didn't we confirm that there was no one in the house when we came in just now?" ”
"It's not for sure, the windows in this house are broken, and it's possible that they could sneak in while we're talking......
The serious uncle looked at Gao Cheng, who was uncertain.
"I wonder what this detective brother has planned?"
"Well, in this case," the director Taketomi said with a dry smile to ease the atmosphere, "How about we all split up and look around the house?" ”
"Okay," Hattori stood up, "as long as everyone acts together, there's nothing to be afraid of, Miss Hirara, Mr. Daito, and Mr. Ikema, so please check the second floor with Joto, and we will check the first floor with Mr. Taketomi......"
"I'm working with Director Taketomi," Gao Cheng interrupted, "because I still have something to ask the director." ”
"Huh?" Zhufu was stunned, "It's okay, it's okay, we still have two high school girls and a child here, it's safer to have one more person......"
Uncle Serious said indifferently: "There is nothing wrong with our side, if there is danger, you can shout." ”
"Don't worry about us," Hattori said angrily, "and Ye are better than you." ”
"Is it true?"
"That's right," Kazuha nodded and smiled, "I'm the second dan of Aikido, and Xiaolan is also very good at karate, and I'm still the champion of the Tokyo Karate Championship." ”
"That's right," Takefu said in surprise, "then it's up to the two of you......"
"No problem, if the gangsters come out, leave it to us!" And the leaves packed the ticket.
Gao Cheng walked through the old wooden hallway at the end, the dim hallway seemed to have something open its mouth to swallow everyone, he didn't feel that there were other people in this room, but vaguely felt that there was a dangerous gaze on him.
Looking at the weak Zhufu, Gao Cheng opened his mouth and asked: "Director, is there anything special about the heirloom that was stolen from the mayor's house 4 years ago?" ”
Zhufu was stunned and turned his head: "Is that a golden screen?" I heard that it has always been the mayor's treasure before, and it is a national treasure worth 200 million yuan. ”
"200 million? In this way, it is also a treasure of a pen......"
"Do you think the message in front of the house is about the whereabouts of the golden screen?" Hattori walked in front with a candlestick and unexpectedly stopped to look at Gao Cheng.
"It's not impossible."
Gao Cheng silently sorted out the clues.
It's uncertain, but it seems to have something to do with the kidnappings and robberies four or five years ago.
Originally, he just wanted to come over a day in advance to see the situation, but something was wrong from the beginning of his arrival on the island, and he specially contacted that Pingliang Yijiang, but the other party seemed to be hiding something and refused to tell the truth, and in the end, there was even a staff member who was brutally killed.
There is also the strange arrangement of the murderer, and moving the body to the beach should not just scare people, but always feel that there is some special purpose......
Gao Cheng couldn't help but look at Hattori and Conan, who were concentrating on the investigation in front of him.
Every time I am with these guys, the probability of consecutive events is too great, and there are already two dead people on this island, and ......
Turning his gaze to the direction of the entrance, the wind outside is still whistling, on this temporarily isolated island, the death of young Kume should not be the end, and the murderer is likely to still move.
In this kind of case, the impression that Conan's case is pitiful is not helpful at all, and Hattori and Conan's judgment that the murderer is someone else is still questionable.
Is the killer really not someone on the staff?
The voices of several serious uncles flashed in Gao Cheng's mind one after another, whether it was the strong serious uncle or the seemingly weakest director Taketomi, as well as the vest young man Ikema and the gloomy captain who disappeared with the cruise ship, only Hira Ijiang, who had been with him, could be completely sure that he was not the murderer.
"This is the last room...... "Hattori walked out of the room at the end of the corridor, and the two of them shrank nervously in the back.
"Alright, Pingji, hurry up and open the door!"
"You two ......"
Hattori frustratedly twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open with a candlestick in hand.
"There's no one here either, but this room seems to be more spacious than the others......"
"Maybe it's because it's Mayor Mare and his wife's room," Taketomi walked to the bedside table, "You see, there's a picture of Mayor Mare and his wife on the table." ”
"Huh?"
Hattori curiously opened the frame.
"There are two photos overlapping each other...... There is also a photo of the mayor with another young girl......"
"That's Miss Koto, the only daughter of the mayor," Taketomi lamented, "She looks very much like the mayor's wife, fair-skinned and gentle, and I heard that the inhabitants of the island are wondering who will win her heart, and I didn't expect that she would be kidnapped five years ago when she was studying at a junior college......
Hattori looked at Taketomi strangely: "Aren't you a staff member of Kyushu TV?" How can you be so clear about these things? ”
"Ah, because I'm cousin to Yoshiko Matsumoto, who used to work as a maid in the mayor's house," Taketomi said slightly embarrassed, "I often hear her talk about the mayor's house......"
"The maid you mentioned was killed in the robbery......"
"Yes, she was killed by one of the bandits four years ago."
Takefu sighed, his expression a little sentimental.
"Originally, she was going to get married at that time......"
Gao Cheng glanced at Zhufu and took a photo of the mayor and his daughter.
It's beautiful, indeed......
"Mr. Taketomi, what kind of castle is the castle tower in the photo?" Gao Cheng asked, looking at the background of the photo.
"It's not a castle, it's the mayor's house," Taketomi came back to his senses, "it's a big house like a castle tower, and Kako told me about it before, and when that house was built, Miss Xiaodu, who was still very young, was very happy, and said that she seemed to have become a princess in the city......
"Princess, princess?" Xiaolan and the two exclaimed, "Does the princess written on the pillar mean Miss Xiaodu?" That strange text is about the location where Miss Xiaodu sleeps? ”
"How is that possible?" Hattori rolled his eyes and said, "It's been so many years, is Miss Xiaodu still alive?" If you want to say where the body is, it is possible that ......"
Xiaolan and Ye's voices trembled: "How, how come?" Miss Xiaodu......"
Conan walked outside the door: "If you want to say strange words, there are also some words written on the doorpost here, it can't be that Miss Xiaodu wrote, right?" ”
"Really?" Hattori held the candlestick illumination, "It is true that there are words written in crayons, the top choni, about 20 cm or less is kachan, and then the bottom is 'I'...... With so many lines drawn, it seems that Miss Xiaodu should have left traces left when she came to the island with some people to play when she was a child, and compared their heights with each other, and they ...... more than once."
"Does Kachan mean Mom?"
