Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 39 The Bloody Smiley Face

At around nine o'clock in the evening, when Gaocheng went to buy soda outside the gift shop, he accidentally saw Kogoro Mori going to the Emerald Bar on the second floor with Hideko Kamijo.

It's going to be ready so soon... Or are you still looking for news?

"Huh? Is Miss Kamijou married?" Mori Kogoro sat next to Kamijou in front of the bar, looking completely fascinated.

"Yeah...but I got divorced 3 years ago..."

"It's a pity to divorce a beautiful woman like you."

"Let's not talk about this," Kamijou approached, "Mr. Mori, can you tell me? You must already know who the Night Duke is?"

Mao Li said awkwardly: "How can this work? This is related to the hotel room fee..."

"Oh, it's okay to give me a little hint," Kamijou suddenly put his arms around Mouri's arm, rubbing his chest through the thin clothes, and said, "Please, Detective Mori."

"This pervert..." Gao Cheng saw the distracted Mao Li at the door, curled his lips, and turned back to the open-air restaurant on the third floor.

It was almost ten o'clock, and everyone else seemed to have returned to their rooms, only the old man Jincheng and his servants were still in the dining room.

According to the current situation, Maeda Satoshi and his girlfriend Akiko Sayama are not like the Duke of Darkness. Since Kamijou Hideko is looking for news from Mori, they probably are not, but the possibility of deliberate acting cannot be ruled out.

Among other people, everyone may be the host, and this is still the most suspicious of the mysterious master and servant of Jincheng...

"Excuse me..." When Gao Cheng was observing Jincheng's master and servant, a crisp voice suddenly sounded behind him.

The two young and lively girls looked at Gao Cheng uncertainly, and said excitedly, "Are you that Kudo Shinichi?"

The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth froze, the blow came so suddenly.

"You have identified the wrong person..."

"Ah? Yes, I'm sorry!"

The girl who asked the question blushed immediately, bowed her head and apologized again and again, but the girl next to her hesitated and said, "You can't...it's that modern Zuozi?"

"That's right," Gao Cheng nodded, and smiled awkwardly, "I'm Kido Gaocheng..."

Although he has gradually gained some fame recently, it seems that he is still very different from Kudo Shinichi. It has been a long time since that guy became Conan...

"I'm sorry, because you and Kudo Shinichi are somewhat similar..." The girl glanced secretly, and found that Gao Cheng's smile looked more like Kudo Shinichi, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed not the same person.

"It's okay, people often admit their mistakes."

Gao Cheng smiled, and the little entanglement in his heart quickly dissipated, but he really wanted to be mistaken for him one day by Kudo Shinichi, even though Kudo Shinichi's hairstyle was much more distinctive than his...

"It's really the modern Zuowen?" The girl excitedly said, "I thought you would learn how to carry a knife with Zuowen. Can you sign it for me? I'm also a fan of Zuowen's detectives!"

"Uh... yes."

Gao Cheng silently took the paper and pen, and smiled wryly in his heart. It's not like he's learning left script, he didn't know it at all before, okay?
Why do all the characters in a novel have detective fans...

Just finished writing the name and was thinking about whether to write a message, the two girls suddenly exclaimed and looked up.

"what is that?"

"Ok?"

Gao Cheng stopped writing and raised his head.

A black shadow kept falling from the side of the towering building, a strange man dressed as a magician with a strange smiling face mask and a tall black hat seemed to fly down from the air.

"Night Duke?!"

The strange man was getting closer and closer to the ground. Before people could react, he landed on a bronze statue of the God of War by the wall with a bang. His chest was directly pierced by the sword facing upwards from the bronze statue. Blood spurted wildly and scattered everywhere .

"puff--!"

The scene fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked in horror at the weird man with arms hanging limply on the bronze statue, looking at the eerie blood-stained smiling face mask, paused, and suddenly burst into screams.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" The two detective girls who reacted burst into tears, their legs and feet trembling.

Gao Cheng gasped, and was also greatly stimulated by the bloody and weird scene.

However, as a famous detective, this kind of scene is unavoidable. He did not fall into panic like others, but took the initiative to walk towards the corpse.

Of course the weirdo is dead, but the bloody smiling face is still very pervasive, and with the bloody scene, it makes people shiver.

"Call the police!!" Gao Cheng yelled at the two girls with a sullen face. Under the trembling and fearful eyes of the two girls, he tried his best to suppress his old problems and approached the bronze statue.

He couldn't move the body until the police arrived, but he could inspect it first.

He first stood on a chair to observe the attire of the deceased.

It is indeed the same as the dark night duke in Yusaku Kudo's novel. I remember that Yusaku Kudo was dressed like this last time.

However, this man's tie and belt are very strange, it looks like the clothes that other people put on the dead...

Gao Cheng stretched out his hand to remove the mask with a heavy face.

An incident happened so soon, and it happened to be related to the Duke of Night...

"Huh?!" The moment the mask was removed, Gao Cheng's eyes suddenly tightened, and what was hidden under the mask turned out to be the face of that pervert Jiang Yuan.

After a while, the Kanagawa County Police Department rushed to the hotel and quickly sealed off the scene.

The Henggou police officer who led the team didn't know Gao Cheng yet, and when he saw Gao Cheng moving around the bronze statue's corpse, he was shocked and said, "Hey! You..."

"Officer," Gao Cheng jumped off his chair, waited for the police officers to put the body on the ground, and raised his head to look at the rooms of the hotel and said, "This should be murder. Mr. Jiang Yuan was pushed down from which room above of……"

"You, who are you?" Seeing Gao Cheng's professional appearance, Henggou couldn't help but weaken his voice, and asked in a daze, "Do you know the deceased?"

"Well, he and I are both members of a tour group."

Gao Cheng looked all the way up and landed on the balcony on the 20th floor.

That seems to be his room...

The structure of the Princess Hotel is very strange. From the 20th floor where he lived, the structure has changed. If you look down, the lower floors are still cross-shaped, and the upper floors become regular octagons.

Therefore, under the raised balcony of Room 2001, a concave right angle just appeared, and Jiang Yuan fell along this right angle wall...

Looking up, Gao Cheng remembered that Room 2101 where Jiang Yuan lived happened to be the one above him.

At this time, Jiang Yuan's body had been laid flat on the ground. Apart from the unusual tie and belt, the white glove on his hand was also missing.

Gao Cheng just glanced at it, and instead of staying on the scene, he took the elevator back to his Room 2001.

Opening the glass door of the balcony, a sudden gust of wind rushed in, and the whistling sound was endless.

"It's really windy here."

Gao Cheng walked to the balcony and looked at the ground, feeling dizzy for a moment. The height of the twenty-story building, the people below are like ants, and his hands and feet feel weak.

He carefully held on to the railing and looked up, only to find that a white glove happened to be stuck between the railing above.

The wind was so strong, if he didn't see that Jiang Yuan's clothes were a little strange, he would almost think that Jiang Yuan was accidentally blown down...
