Chapter 8

The next day, Gao Cheng slept until noon. When he woke up, Maori Kogoro and his party had already left, and he didn't stay long. He rushed back to the detective office with the kitten he had caught last night.

He estimated that he would never have a cat in his life.

After getting 20000 yuan from the client, Gao Cheng, with the newspaper he bought from outside, lies on the sofa of the office wearily.

Before reading the newspaper report on last night's case, I turned on the detective system again and thought about whether to exchange some cash. I found that the reputation value had changed to 101. Besides the cash exchange option, there was also a question mark option.

As for the question mark option, he remembers that it can be used to exchange for special items. Theoretically, it can also be exchanged for 100000 yen, but now he has no capital at all, and only has prestige.

Gao Cheng hesitated and curiously chose the question mark at the back.

With a clear prompt, Gao chengrou looks at the reputation value and empties it all at once, leaving only a lonely point.

"Awesome!"

"Bang!" The question mark option in the light screen flashes for a while, and generates an item card under Gao Cheng's gaze.

"What is this?"

"If you get a rare item, you can summon it at any time." A wooden knife appeared in my hand out of thin air.

"Aye?! 100 reputation value, 100000 yen, is it a broken wooden knife? "

Gao Cheng stares big eyes and holds a wooden knife.

Although the "Dongye Lake" on the handle is very conspicuous, it's just an ordinary wooden knife, isn't it?

Even though he was originally a Kendo student, he is not a Yin of shiwanwu. Now he is not in Edo era

"A 100000 yen wooden knife."

Want to lose and reluctant to give up, Gao Cheng quietly as a baby like the wooden knife back to the system.

At least, it's also an artifact that can be summoned at will. It can't be wasted.

Putting down the wooden knife, Gao Cheng turns his attention to the newspaper.

The action of the media is very fast, perhaps because of the involvement of the big star Yoko Ono, which takes up a lot of space.

Moreover, the conflict between miaoko DouYuan and Shounan Anxi was also reported in great detail.

When miss Miaozi was in high school, her parents died because of an accident. During the rebellious period, she didn't go to school and became a bad girl. Anxi was the friend she made at that time.

Once, Miaozi accidentally told Anxi about the sacrificial utensils of the shrine, and then the high priced sacrificial utensils were stolen by Anxi. As a result, the warehouse keeper committed suicide.

Miaozi, who is remorseful because of his remorse, buries the past in his heart, but meets Anxi again when he is about to get married

"Well?" Gao Chengzheng sighs about the experience of miaoko DouYuan. After turning a few pages, he gradually feels that something is wrong.

Yesterday, the killing in the shrine was indeed published in the newspaper, but it is inconceivable that in all the reports, a detective named Maori Kogoro solved the case without mentioning him at all.

"What's going on?" Gao Cheng's heart clattered and subconsciously looked at his reputation value of only 1 point.

"Sneeze!" At the same time, in the Maori detective office on the other side of the rice flower market, Conan sneezed at the newspaper for no reason, with a confused face.

"Strange, did I solve yesterday's incident? I seem to have forgotten something. "

"All changed..." Gao Cheng put down the newspaper.

I should have thought that since it's reputation value, it's impossible to deduct it. I just didn't expect the system to be so exaggerated. Is this to remove all the evidence about his solving the case? How is it done?

After a pause, Gao Cheng summons Mu Dao Dong Ye Hu to look back and forth.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect. I feel that when I hold the knife, I feel a lot of spirit.

At such a high cost, it would be too much if it was just an ordinary wooden knife, but although it was a rare item, there was nothing special

……

Three days later, flag island.

Gao Cheng was waiting by the dock.

On the day of exchanging for "Dongye Lake", he received another case from the system, which happened at sea. No matter how rare and inedible the Mudao Dongye lake is, he still had to solve some more cases. Whether it was to expand the reputation of the detective agency, accept the Commission to make money, or not to exchange the reputation directly into money, he had to support himself first.

The time of the incident is this evening, but the place will be on a luxury cruise ship taken by the Qiben family.

For him, how to get on the ship is a big problem. Fortunately, the incident information indicates that the cruise will pass through the island, so he arrived on the island ahead of time.

Near the time of the incident, Qiben's family held a wedding on the island, but there was no sign of leaving for a while and a half. He had to wait here at the dock all the time.

As a matter of fact, there is a luxury ship on the dock now, but he has no chance to go up. It's not only because he has no money, but also because the ship has been contracted by the flag owners.

Luxury cruise ship is like a five-star hotel on the sea. It's a big deal to charter a boat. It's really not an ordinary rich man.

Gao Cheng keeps staring at the movement on the wharf. Just before he loses patience, he finally finds a way to get on the ship.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the crew to transport the luggage on board, Gao Cheng nervously mixed in.

"It's true that the incident happened at sea. How did Conan get on board?"

With a pile of debris on the ship, Gao Cheng was relieved, and quickly took advantage of no one to find a corner to hide.

The first step was a success, and the next step was to wait for the ship to leave the dock.

Gao Cheng touched his hungry stomach. During the waiting period, the cruise ship soon sounded a long whistle and officially left the island.

On the deck of the cruise ship, Maori LAN and Conan enjoyed the beautiful sea with excitement.

"Wow, what a beautiful sunset!" Maolilan blew the sea breeze and turned to Conan. "It's very lucky to get on such a luxury cruise, isn't it, Conan?"

"Yes," said Conan, looking back at the sleeping Maori Kogoro, "it's all due to my uncle's mistake about the time of the ship's return. That's why we have the chance to catch such a luxurious liner..."

Maolilan was also very helpless: "really, I thought my father had contacted me well. As a result, there was such a big mistake. Fortunately, the boat happened to pass by, otherwise I would be stranded on the island for three or four days."

Conan smiles, but he thinks of Gao Cheng.

In the past few days, he met Gao Cheng one after another. I don't know why he always felt a little depressed, especially in the case of mifua shrine. Although he helped Maori Kogoro solve it, he always felt that something was wrong.

"If something happens now, that guy can't get here, can he? Ha ha. " Conan laughed in a conjecture, then shook his head to stop thinking.

"Really, what am I thinking? How could it happen so coincidentally?"

Inside the cruise ship, Gao Cheng was so hungry that he felt his way out of the kitchen and was about to find something to eat when a roar came from the deck.

"Son of a bitch! What's going on? " The head of Qiben family, Qiben, yelled, "isn't this ship contracted by our Qiben family? How can you let outsiders on board? "

"Ah?" Gao Cheng was startled, and then he reflected that he was not talking about himself.

Just standing at the kitchen door, Gao Cheng hesitated.

To tell you the truth, it's too much for him to sneak on the boat without permission. It's a thief to go to the kitchen to find something to eat?

"Why don't you confess to your master? The incident is about to happen. If we don't hurry up... "

"Eh?" An old housekeeper just passed by the kitchen and saw Gao Cheng exclaim, "who are you?"
