On the second day of the investigation, the Joto Detective Agency.

Gao Cheng, who was very tired, didn't get up until Xiao Ai came home after buying vegetables, Xiao Ai put the ingredients and went to the door of Gao Cheng's bedroom to listen to it suspiciously, there seemed to be no sound inside, and the shoes in the entrance didn't look like going out.

Little Wai tiptoed open the door and looked inside.

The quilt was kicked to the side again, and the bed was a mess, but there was nothing suspicious.

walked into the room and wanted to cover the quilt, but found that Gao Cheng's whole body was tense, his arms were bruised and he was holding on to the sheets, and almost all of his surroundings were soaked with sweat.

"Are you having nightmares again?"

Xiao Ai's eyelids jumped unexpectedly, trying to remember when Gao Cheng had a nightmare last time.

It seems that it was the time when I was invited by Hagimoto Natsue to play in Hokkaido, and this is the first time since then......

But this time it doesn't seem to be anything special, just to help the uncle next door investigate the attack, it seems that he is tired during this time.

Xiao Ai's face was slightly soft, and she wanted to help Gao Cheng wipe her sweat, but she happened to collide with Gao Cheng's gaze that suddenly opened his eyes.

"I bought fresh beef, I will eat beef dishes today......" Xiao Ai turned and walked out of the room, slamming the door shut.

Gao Cheng opened his mouth, but his throat was a little swollen and painful, and when he came to his mouth, it turned into the sound of inhaling cold air, and the severe pain hit his face and turned pale.

His hands stabbed as if they were cut by a knife, and his wrists seemed to be broken, so he couldn't use his strength anymore, as if he had used too much force yesterday.

His physical cultivation couldn't keep up in the end, although he had the Demon Sword Star Shattering Bottom, but he was still a little reluctant to attack with all his strength, and it was not much worse than the side effects of Okada Seezo's forcible use of the Red Sakura Demon Knife.

Thinking of Gintama, Gao Cheng's mind came up with a picture of the intertwining of the sword and blood, as well as a sea of fire...... The hell of the Silver Soul world reappeared in his dreams.

He didn't know why he dreamed of these things again after so long, and even the mysterious teacher who taught a group of swordsmen, Yoshida Matsuyo, frequently appeared.

The illusory and real world that mysteriously broke into his dreams because of Lake Toya.

Ever since Lake Toya turned into a Demon Sword Star Shatter, these should have disappeared from his life......

"Dididi!" The mobile phone in the pocket of the bedside coat suddenly rang, interrupting Gao Cheng's thoughts.

Gao Cheng exhaled, got up and took out his mobile phone with difficulty, and only then did he connect the phone, and the familiar voice of Officer Twilight immediately came out.

"Brother Chenghu, I have found out that the truck was stolen by the gangsters, but the people around said that they only saw the burn scars on the gangsters' arms...... Hey, are you listening, Brother Chenghu? ”

"I heard that," Gao Cheng came back to his senses, "what are you going to do next?" ”

"I'll have to hurry up and find that guy named Kimura," Twilight has a headache and worries, "but the problem now is that the Maori brother, after receiving a threatening text message from the gangster, he will risk his life for everything, and he plans to use himself as a bait to lure out the gangster, and he won't even let me send someone to protect ......"

"Really? Uncle is so courageous. ”

Gao Cheng collapsed his eyelids.

Uncle, this guy must be desperate to save face, coupled with inexplicable self-confidence......

I am sure that I will say something, "I am the world-famous Mori Kogoro, how can I hide timidly because my life is threatened?!" ”

But......

The uncle probably didn't want the gangsters to continue to attack the innocent, and the laundry owner almost had an accident yesterday.

Gao Cheng put away his phone, and his mind returned to the attack.

Although he only helped by the way, things don't seem to be that simple.

It has already been witnessed twice, and the gangsters are so careful that they don't leave any fingerprints, but they roll up their sleeves in such a cold day to let people see the scald scars on their elbows.

And if you attack your uncle as Kimura twice in a row, will there be such a coincidence?

There are also mobile phones with little traces of use and jackets that have not been worn much......

Everything looks like it's been designed.

Thinking of the lemon bar manager he had seen before, Gao Cheng got dressed, hurriedly washed his face, and put on a helmet by the coat rack and went out.

"Haven't you eaten?" Xiao Ai poked her head out of the kitchen.

"I'll be back in a minute."

Gao Cheng walked down the stairs quickly, rode the motorcycle into the street with a humming sound, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"That's really ......" Xiao Ai took the spoon and looked out the window, and then went back to the kitchen to stir the beef broth.

"Seems a little too salty."

……

At Lemon Bar, there are still no customers during the day, only the bar owner Inoue sits in front of the bar.

Gao Cheng took out his camera and secretly took a few photos of Inoue, and asked the owner of a nearby shop, "Is there a free drink event at the Lemon Bar recently?" ”

"All-you-can-drink for free?" The shopkeeper was surprised, "It's not a new bar, where is the free drink?" ”

Gao Cheng thanked the shopkeeper and asked the people around him one after another.

Sure enough, no one had heard of any free drinking activities, and the encounter of the uncle who drank for almost a week was simply unprecedented.

It didn't seem to be too complicated, but just investigating the bar found out the problem, but the police preconceived and focused all their energy on finding Kimura, so they didn't react.

In the Maori Detective Agency, Officer Twilight sat in his office with a heavy expression, because Uncle Maori was still investigating outside, and only Ran and Conan were entertaining Twilight.

When Gao Cheng came over, Twilight had just sat down and took a sip of coffee.

"The police are already trying their best to find Kimura and the gangster," Twilight said in a deep voice, "If the gangster's motive is to take revenge on Brother Maori, it would be better to lock the target, but now that he is mistaken for Kimura, we can't find any clues about Kimura......"

"I don't think I need to look for Kimura anymore."

Gao Cheng walked into the office and put several developed photos in front of Officer Twilight.

"It's okay for the gangsters to attack Uncle Maori the first time because it was dark, but the next day they actually stole a truck and hit the uncle on the side of the road, which is a little unreasonable, so it is necessary to investigate this Inoue store manager."

"But," Xiaolan began, "could it be because the guy named Kimura even looks similar to his father?" Isn't there a saying that you can find at least three people like yourself in the world? ”

"If that's the case, that Inoue is even more bizarre."

The corners of Gao Cheng's eyes twitched, it is not impossible that there are 3 people like uncles, but if this is the case, Inoue should have said it from the beginning, instead of that plain appearance.

"Of course, I can't be absolutely sure, but there's no doubt that Inoue is suspicious," Gao Cheng continued, "I asked in that area, the so-called free drinks are only for the uncle alone, and everything is Inoue's one-sided statement, isn't it?" Whether there really is such a person named Kimura, none of us can be sure ......."

Twilight's brow jumped: "This possibility ......"

"As long as you investigate, it will be clear," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "The gangster specially fabricated this person Kimura, indicating that he does not want the police to investigate the uncle, and he does not want the police to investigate the uncle's enemy." ”

"You mean to say that Inoue himself is a gangster?"

Twilight stood up suddenly, there had been a case of prisoners who had been released from prison to retaliate against Maori, and although it turned out to be a misunderstanding in the end, it was really possible this time.

"I'll have someone investigate Inoue right away!"

"If my guess is correct, he should be the prisoner that Uncle has captured before," Gao Cheng continued, "I think he will soon find another opportunity to attack Uncle Uncle, and he will probably tell Uncle that he has contacted Kimura, and that a person with a burn scar on his arm has targeted Kimura, or similar news to attract Uncle to track him down, which is also the purpose of the gangsters who deliberately showed their elbows before......"

"If that's the case, the Maori brother is really in danger!"

Although Twilight's expression was still very heavy, it was much more relaxed than before, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that Gao Cheng's analysis was very correct, and the originally stuck investigation had a direction in an instant, and he suddenly said happily: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being the old brother of the city household, and the reasoning is still so powerful!" ”

Gao Cheng smiled slightly bitterly.

In fact, it's not too difficult, there are too many flaws left in Inoue, and the methods designed by those high-IQ criminals are simply insignificant.

And before the final proof, the reasoning is just speculation, and the rest depends on the police.

"Yes, I'm Twilight," Twilight said, "first look into Maori's past case, and then look up the manager of Lemon Bar......"

"Huh?" Gao Cheng looked at the eyes of his liaison subordinates, and his gaze swept over the clock next to him.

Seems to have forgotten something.
