Chapter 3 Card Binding

"Someone's coming!"

Conan woke up first and hurriedly pulled Ayumi to hide behind a cabinet in the corner, but Gao Cheng couldn't hide.

Looking at Gao Cheng, who was still standing in place, Conan's face changed: "Oh no! ”

Gao Cheng's performance is really bad, he can't even pull up a basement door, and he obviously can't fight against the eccentric woman.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, Conan gritted his teeth and anxiously thought of a way, and suddenly saw Gao Cheng leaning against the wall and taking the initiative to speak outside the door.

"Madam, what did you just do? Are those two children? ”

"What?" Conan tensed his body and almost couldn't help jumping out of the corner to stop Gao Cheng.

"Boom!" The footsteps stopped abruptly, and then the wooden door was slammed open, and the strange woman looked at Gao Cheng in front of the iron prison in horror, and the plate in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

The woman was stunned, and grabbed a knife with a terrifying face: "You are with the two children just now?" ”

Gao Cheng looked at the cold light flashing on the knife, his eyelids jumped, and his whole body involuntarily leaned against the wall.

In fact, he was already very scared, but now he can only gamble, betting that he remembered correctly.

"Mrs., Mrs.," Gao Cheng put his hands in his pants pockets, cheering up, "Do you think this is good?" Is it really good to keep your son here in order to hide the truth? ”

Without waiting for the woman to react, Gao Cheng pressed and said: "There is still a family portrait of the owner who was killed five years ago in this house, I saw the wife and son of the owner of the house, hum, I think you still have this man who has been locked up in the cage for five years, right?" ”

The "wild man" in the iron prison was shocked, and watched Gao Cheng's performance with the woman.

Gao Cheng did not avoid his gaze, and continued to act: "After the murder five years ago, I heard that the family of the deceased had moved away, but there was still running water in this house, and I felt that something was wrong when I came in. ”

Seeing that the woman was completely stunned, Gao Cheng struck while the iron was hot: "That's right, I think it should be your son who killed your husband, right?" ”

"Shut up, shut up!" The woman was so frightened by Gao Cheng's repeated bombardments that her spirit was close to collapse, and she asked in horror, "Who are you?" Who the hell are you?! ”

Gao Cheng's eyes were blazing, and he looked directly at the woman, and the corners of his mouth rose: "My name is Chenghu Gao Cheng, and I am a detective!" ”

"Detective, detective?" The woman's face turned pale.

"This guy seems to have changed his ......" Conan looked at Gao Cheng in surprise, and understood the cause and effect from the expression of the woman opposite.

Ayumi poked her head out curiously, and accidentally touched the mop next to her, and suddenly there was a burst of movement.

"Bang!"

"Also, there are still people?" The woman woke up and looked into the corner with her knife in her hand.

"Big brother is right, ma'am," Conan said stubbornly, "after finding out that your son had killed someone, Mrs. hid the truth and tried to exonerate him, but he has always been condemned by his conscience, so the strange noises that often come from this house are actually your son's screams of pain, maybe he wanted to turn himself in and you didn't allow him to do so, so he locked him up." ”

Conan said with an innocent look at Gao Cheng, "Is that so, big brother? ”

"Ah, yes," Gao Cheng nodded, facing the woman with the knife and said in a deep voice, "Madam, can you bear to let your son be condemned by conscience for the rest of his life and unable to extricate himself?" ”

……

After a terrible night, there was no danger, and in the end, there was no accident, and under the painful persuasion of the son who was locked in the dungeon, the mother and son broke down and cried and hugged each other, and made the decision to turn themselves in.

Conan looked at the mother and son silently for a while, then looked back at Gao Chengdao: "You are really amazing, big brother, but how do you know that it was the son who killed the father?" There is also a possibility that Madame is the murderer, so she did this, isn't it? ”

Without getting a response, Conan looked at the motionless Gao Cheng strangely: "Big brother? ”

The calm and handsome face looks like a young detective, and it looks like it's very different from the newspaper reports, just bravely facing a mother who doesn't know if she will kill for her son is not the same as the rumors.

Gao Cheng squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and suddenly sat on the ground: "Ha, my legs are weak." ”

"Huh." The corners of Conan's mouth twitched.

This guy is really thinking too much......

Gao Cheng leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief, although the bet was right, the mother and son are not bad people, but the process is too thrilling, thinking of the woman's almost nervous breakdown, let him do it again, I don't think I have the courage to gamble like this.

It's much more exciting than when I was in the kendo club before.

However, he finally did it, and successfully solved the first case with his memory and acting skills.

After relieving himself slightly, as Conan and Ayumi left the dungeon, Gao Cheng reached out and touched the pocket where the mysterious card was placed.

The card was gone, replaced by a virtual light curtain in front of him.

Whether you close your eyes or open them, you can clearly see the light curtain, which shows not only his identity information, but also some strange data.

The castle is high, and the reputation value is 0 (+100), which is gray because the value is too low.

"Was my original reputation negative?"

The others didn't seem to be able to see the light curtain, Gao Cheng tried to grab it with his hands, but his fingers passed directly through the light curtain, and he was thinking that there was a light curtain in his sight all the time, and the light curtain suddenly disappeared with his thoughts.

At the same time, a piece of information about the light curtain naturally appeared in Gao Cheng's mind.

This is a seemingly simple detective assistance system, although it will not directly help the host solve the case after the binding is successful, but it can obtain reputation points after successfully solving the case, and reputation points can be exchanged for money, 1 reputation point is equivalent to 1,000 yen, and you can also directly consume 100 reputation points to exchange for special items.

With such a system, I don't know what the future will be in this Conan world, but it's a good start.

Gao Cheng relaxed, because he was too tired, he fell asleep in the dungeon with drooling gradually.

……

The next day, Conan's classmates Motota and Mitsuhiko were found sleeping soundly in the courtyard, apparently drugged, and the mother and son turned themselves in in the newspapers, and the murder five years ago was satisfactorily resolved.

However, when Gao Cheng got the newspaper, he was a little depressed.

Although his name appeared in the newspapers, the response was not as great as that of Conan's group of schoolboys.

"Damn, the incompetent detective suddenly had an epiphany and solved a five-year sinking case, didn't anyone pay attention? If this continues, the reputation of the detective agency has not improved at all. ”

Gao Cheng cupped his chin in a broken way, and called up the detective card light curtain.

It's still the same as yesterday, and I can't see how it works, but the ability to exchange reputation for cash is attractive to him.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that he's greedy for money, it's really a bit bad at the moment, and sometimes only when you're short of money will you really appreciate how important money is.

Putting away the virtual light curtain, Gao Cheng cheered up and walked to the bathroom to tidy up his appearance.

From now on, I will be a detective, yesterday's case is just the beginning, and I have to continue to work hard.

Standing in front of the mirror after taking care of it, what I saw was a fairly handsome teenager, and after a day, his spirit was much better, not as decadent and haggard as he was at the beginning, and his body was not as weak as it was, but his pockets were still empty.
