Chapter 28: Getting Smaller?!
In the Chenghu Detective Agency, Gao Cheng browsed a newspaper with his eyes half-open.
In the next few days after the killer was resolved, there was still no movement in the system, and even the detective agency did not have any better commissions.
However, when Mori Kogoro was investigating an affair, he encountered a murder case.
Looking at the newspaper report about the "sleeping Maori Kogoro", Gao Cheng pouted in confusion.
However, the murderer turned out to be Yuji Suwa, who had made an appointment with him earlier to compare swords.
Looking at the description in the newspaper, it seems that the cause is that the victim sold the mortgaged famous knife "Kiku Chiyo".
Yuji Suwa originally took the money to exchange it for the heirloom, but he was sneered at by the victim, because he couldn't stand the blow and directly killed the victim on impulse.
What a shame......
"Jingle bell!"
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Is it a commission?" Gao Cheng hurriedly cleaned up the table and quickly opened the door to greet the customer, "Hello, this is the Chenghu Detective Agency!" ”
"Hello."
Appearing at the door was a gorgeously dressed lady, wearing a hat of unknown material, and her clothes and jewelry seemed to be very expensive.
Big business is coming!
Gao Cheng warmly beckoned the lady to sit down, and said with a cup of boiling water: "Madam, you are too discerning, I am the best detective in the neighborhood, and I will definitely be able to help you solve any commissions!" ”
"Thank you," the lady didn't have any expression, didn't drink water, just took out a photo from her purse and said, "Actually, our Kai sister is lost, I think I can ask the detective Chenghu to find it back." ”
"Cats?" Gao Cheng took a photo of a kitten stiffly at the corner of his mouth, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I've actually been ...... recently."
"200,000." The lady took out a stack of banknotes directly from her purse.
……
On the corner of Rice Flower Town, Gao Cheng sneakily avoids the crowds.
He can't refuse money, it's really harmful......
Looking around cautiously, Gao Cheng opened the system light curtain and chose to use the camouflage card he had drawn last time.
It just so happened that he was also very curious about the function of this card, although it was a one-time waste, but how to say that he could still earn 100,000 when he found the cat.
He had never met such a generous client, and he would give 200,000 yen just to find a cat.
"Bang!" The camouflage card came into play, and a burst of white smoke instantly enveloped Gao Cheng.
"Huh?"
The smoke dispersed, Gao Cheng looked around in a daze, and found that he had shrunk down, thin arms and legs, and even a set of clothes.
"Kids?"
Gao Cheng pinched his little face, looking confused.
I haven't heard that the strange thief Kidd will be disguised as a child, it should be said that this kind of thing is not something that disguise can do at all, and there are only small cases like Kudo Shinichi in Conan.
A one-time camouflage card of 100,000 yen looks really powerful.
Thinking that the system explained that it could only last for 3 days, Gao Cheng didn't dare to delay, and immediately searched for it in the streets and alleys according to the information provided by the noblewoman.
I have to say that using a child's body is really a special taste, as if the whole world has changed, and walking on the street in a dignified manner, no one will care too much about him looking for cats everywhere.
Not to mention this magical transformation experience, at least there is no need to worry about the price drop news that a certain detective is looking for a cat suddenly appears in the newspaper tomorrow.
……
The time was getting later and later, and when it was almost dusk, Gao Cheng finally found the noble cat named Kai Mei in an abandoned warehouse.
"Really, I'm almost a cat professional, and I've said it ten times now."
Gao Cheng relied on the child's flexible body to easily carry Kai Mei out of the warehouse, but when he was about to go back to the detective agency, he suddenly saw Conan sitting in a phone booth on the other side of the street, and even Ayumi's group of children were there.
What are these guys doing?
I wanted to say hello in confusion, but then I realized that I had changed my identity, and hurriedly swallowed back the shout that came to my mouth.
"What are you doing?" Gao Cheng pretended to be a stranger, hugged Kai Mei and walked behind a few people and asked.
"We found a body in that house!" Yuan Tai stared at the house in front of him, and subconsciously replied, and then reacted and looked at Gao Cheng strangely with everyone.
"Who are you?"
"Me?" Gao Cheng's brain teaser and laughed, "I'm a kid in the neighborhood, but have you really seen the corpse?" ”
"Of course it's true!" Yuan Tai was dissatisfied, "We saw it with our own eyes, in the bathroom of that house, and the police are coming soon!" ”
"Really?" Gao Cheng's eyes lit up, and he finally had a case.
"But," Ayumi suddenly approached and looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously, "I seem to have seen you somewhere......"
"What are you doing? You have to watch the ...... carefully before the police come" Conan, who had been watching carefully, turned his head dissatisfied, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the children's version of Gao Cheng, but soon his eyes returned to the house.
"That's right," Mitsuhiko glanced at Gao Cheng, "We're a young detective group, if you want to entrust it, wait until next time." ”
"The Junior Detectives?"
Gao Cheng's face collapsed.
These hateful imps, who were originally commissioned by the detective agency, are getting less and less, and they are actually stealing business, and the most important thing is that Conan is also mixed with these imps......
"Woo——!" After a while, several police cars arrived one after another, and the familiar figure of Officer Twilight appeared in front of Gao Cheng.
"Are you the ones who called the police?" Twilight asked, confused, "Did you really find a body?" ”
"That's right," Conan said in a deep voice, "we didn't see anyone coming in or out of the house after we found the body, that is, the body was still there!" ”
The group all gathered at the house where the incident occurred, and Gao Cheng also followed Conan, but the police thought he was a child together and didn't care.
The door was opened by a bearded man in a bathrobe, dissatisfied, allowing the police to search him.
It's just that the bathroom where Conan and the others found the corpse at the beginning was nothing unusual, and the corpse disappeared.
"Well, see for yourselves," said the man, grimacing, "where are the corpses?" These imps must be playing a prank! ”
Gao Cheng ignored the man and looked at the bathroom carefully.
There seemed to be no trace, but he believed that Conan would not lie, and that the body might have been hidden by the man......
Officer Twilight apparently didn't give up, looking at his watch and saying, "It took about 15 minutes from the time we received the report to the time we came here, so there's plenty of time to clean up the scene!" ”
"Humph!" The man said angrily, "Since you are suspicious, why don't you search for it yourself!" I'm going back to the 2nd floor to sleep!! ”
"Can we really search for it?" Twilight confirmed.
"It's okay! Anyway, there's nothing unsightly in the house! My brother is coming back soon, so if you have any questions, you can ask him directly! The man walked up the stairs and turned back to sneer, "I don't bother to pay attention to stupid cops like you who take children's jokes seriously!" ”
Twilight was so angry that his face was distorted, and he hurriedly shouted to his subordinates: "Search for me!" The corpse must still be in the house, and every corner must not be spared! ”
Gao Cheng looked at the figure of the man going upstairs with a wrinkled face.
It's so rampant, is it so confident? The house is so big, it should be possible to find the body quickly......
