"Hello, Chenghu," Conan knelt down on the futon and looked around suspiciously, "did you hear any strange sound?"
"Voice?"
Gao Cheng was not used to the way of kneeling here from the beginning, but when he saw Conan's appearance, he didn't care about his discomfort. Then he listened to him from left to right, and suddenly a faint voice came into his ears.
"Tick As everyone in the hall quieted down, the voice in the dark became clearer and clearer
"What's this?" Gao Cheng's eyes are slightly tight.
This kind of sound is too familiar. If it's right, it should be the sound of the clock moving
The old lawyer with presbyopic glasses put a tape recorder on the table and said softly, "let's begin to read it. Mr. suuchi has prepared an extra will tape in advance..."
"Just a moment, please!" Gao Cheng stands up in everyone's surprised eyes and looks around the long table solemnly.
"What, what's the matter, detective Edo?"
Guangmei's wife and others looked at Gao Cheng without knowing the situation. Sounei was impatient and said, "what the hell is going on? At this time... "
"Shut up The old man yelled and looked at Gao Cheng with sharp eyes. "Don't disturb the detective!"
"What..." sounei Yixing doesn't look over his head discontentedly. He feels that Gao Cheng seems to have been bribed by the old man. He doesn't make any effort to investigate the old man. Instead, he has been helping him.
Gao Cheng stopped in front of the tea cabinet at the door and suddenly said, "do you hear this sound?"
"What?" People don't know why, confused way, "what voice?"
Gao Cheng didn't explain. He just opened the tea cabinet carefully, and suddenly a crossbow with a fixed clock appeared in front of him. The bowstring was tight, and the crossbow was ready to go. Behind it was a timing device arranged by the clock, from which the tick came.
Gao Cheng quickly takes down the crossbow to release the mechanism, but does not move the crossbow.
This device is more precise than that of the last opera house. I'm afraid it has been set up for quite a long time
"What's going on?" Seeing Gao Cheng take out the crossbow, people at the scene were shocked.
"Who did it? There's a timing device! "
"It must be that guy!" Sounei Yixing was still worried. "It must be the guy who wore sunglasses yesterday. He must still hate our sounei family, so..."
"Strange," Conan's crisp voice interrupted the discussion. "There are many small holes in the tatami here!"
"Little hole?"
The compartment is separated by a traditional Japanese paper door, and the tatami with a small hole just faces the crossbow of the tea cabinet.
"Did that guy try a shot?"
"That's right," said Gao Cheng, who inserted the crossbow into a small hole just to fit. "The murderer who set the crossbow from the beginning was Uncle Yifang, who was sitting in the upper seat."
"Hum," the old man said with a sneer, "sure enough, there are people who want my life!"
"But there is no reason," said Mrs. Guangmei. "Uncle Yifang was not here 15 years ago. How could that man..."
"Because he's not your mother's brother at all!"
Gao Cheng takes out the cigarette butt wrapped in his handkerchief and puts it on the table. His eyes turn to the door.
"I'm right, some detective who spent the day in the warehouse beam?"
"This is..." Xizi accidentally picked up the cigarette butt and looked at it.
"You're mistaken. I'm not a detective," said the man, whose face was covered and the door was opened. He took off his sunglasses and hat in a hoarse voice. "I'm just a novelist."
"Little novelist?"
"Dad?" Conan looked at the visitor in surprise. Like Gao Cheng, he didn't expect that it would be Kudo.
Gao chenggan'er looks at the handsome middle-aged version of "Xinyi" in front of him painfully. He doesn't know what to say.
I'm not a detective
"Mr. Kudo, why are you here?"
"I have something to do..." Kudo youzuo glanced at hiko, who was angry next to him. He said with a smile to Gao Cheng, "originally I wanted to help with the investigation, but now it seems to be redundant. Mr. Tanaka hired a good private detective."
"Mr. Tanaka?" And other people in the room, including Conan, looked at Kudo youzuo in disbelief.
"This city dweller should know much better than me. As long as he has heard the contents of the will tape, he can know what's going on," Kudo youzuo nodded to the old lawyer. "Please show it to everyone."
"Oh, good." The old lawyer looked confused and finally recovered. He pressed the play button in the anxious eyes of the public, but found that there was no sound.
"Ah, it's reversed... Sorry, wait for me."
“……”
It took a long time for the old lawyer to adjust the tape and play it again. He looked so confused that he was worried. Gao Chengcheng worried that if the old man pressed the tape into a recording, all the last words in the tape would be destroyed.
"My inheritance is inherited by the following six people," said an old man's voice in the harmony room. "My wife zhenzhizi, daughter Guangmei, son-in-law Xiuhe, son Yixing, daughter-in-law Jingzi... And Carlos... The inheritance is evenly distributed to the above six people..." "Carlos?" The crowd looked at young Brazilian Carlos in disbelief“ Why don't you have your uncle's name? Isn't Carlos uncle's bodyguard? "“ In fact, on the contrary, because this old man is the bodyguard who came from Brazil for karlostei, "Kudo youzuo took out those airmail letters from his arms." Mr. suuchi Yoshiko died six months ago, leaving only his only son, Carlos. In fact, this old man is a friend who runs a farm with Mr. suuchi Yoshiko. " Kudo youzuo looked at the silent old man in the shock: "ten years ago, a tornado destroyed the farm and injured the old man's right leg, while Mr. Yifang lost his left hand, so he always asked the old man to write letters... Things are very clear in these air letters, am I right? Mr. Tanaka. "“ Is he Tanaka? Did he invite the detective in the first place Sounei Yixing angrily turned to Gao Cheng, "Damn it! Did you know everything from the beginning? " Gao Cheng looked calm: "it doesn't matter any more. Now let's see who is the murderer who set the crossbow." Sunei Yixing looked stagnant and said in a deep voice, "do you already know who the killer is?"“ Yes, it can't be Mr. youzuo? "“ On this point, "Gao chengdun glanced over the audience." almost all the people who knew in advance that the will was published in the Buddhist hall were here. As long as the police investigated, they could find out the source of the crossbow and timing device. These things are so special that it's not difficult to find out if there are suspects. "“ Yes, it's me, "suuchi fell to the ground suddenly in a cold sweat." I installed the crossbow, I just want to scare him... "The last thing is not too complicated. The police came again to take suuchi away, and the will officially came into force. There will be no more trouble. After a night's rest, the Conan family planned to leave the next morning. Gao Cheng didn't mean to stay. He couldn't live long without changing clothes. At the gate of Sunei residence, Gao Cheng said goodbye to Tanaka and Carlos. The big Brazilian youth seemed to know nothing, but just said goodbye to Gao Cheng with a big boy's smile. Gao Cheng didn't know Portuguese. He turned to Conan and asked in a low voice, "can you speak Portuguese?" Conan was not angry: "please, how could I?"“ Is that right? " Gao Cheng laughed and waved to Carlos and uncle, "goodbye, Carlos, uncle. I'll come to Tokyo when I'm free." On the other side of the gate, Mr. and Mrs. Kudo are also saying goodbye to suuchi's family. It seems that youxizi is acting coquettishly towards Kudo youzuo. At last, he looks unhappy and happily gets on the motorcycle with him“ Shinichi, what are you doing? " Xizi waved to Conan beside Gao Cheng and called, "if we don't hurry up, we'll leave you!"“ Here we are Conan speechless looked at his mother. He got on the motorcycle in a hurry and left the family along the field path“ Let's go first, Chenghu Gao chengmu watched several people go away, shaking his head and smiling, silently wearing helmets and riding with them.
