Chapter 888

The one who opened the door for Gao Cheng was a woman with broken hair dressed casually. She was wearing big square glasses, but she didn't look old-fashioned. She had slightly upturned corners of her eyes and painted lip gloss on her mouth, just like Shibuya spice girl, but her skin was quite white.

The other side didn't get too excited when they saw Gao Cheng, but they still glanced a few more.

"Come on in, detective Chenghu. My assistants were on holiday yesterday. They won't be here for a while."

The room is very clean and tidy. You can see that it is often taken care of. The room used for painting is not messy. In the middle of the room is the worktable of Seiko Inoue and three assistants. There are bookshelves, televisions and other things around. There are not many comic books on the bookshelves.

"Now there are tablet computers, so I read electronic comics, and it's convenient to find information." Mr. Inoue explained.

Gao Cheng looked at the tools on the desk, such as the through writing table, dot paper and art knife.

Although there is a tablet computer, but still hand-painted comics, he thought there would be several drawing boards.

"These are my thoughts on jintianyi comics," Mr. Inoue took out a stack of drawings and handed them to Gao Cheng. "Originally, I was going to send them to the editorial department for further improvement. As a result, they said you were coming this morning. I tried several painting styles..."

Gao Cheng glanced at the draft.

It is true that there are several styles of jintianyi's image design, and his shadow can be seen vaguely. The ponytail hairstyle he wore some time ago has also been preserved.

He is very satisfied with the style of painting. To be honest, it is much better than his impression of jintianyi's style of painting.

Later, there is a comic adaptation of the Opera House incident, and the division is quite solid. I don't know if it's because of the world.

That is to say, Conan style "jintianyi" is quite interesting and has a kind of inexplicable memory.

"Try the second style." Gao Cheng pointed to the version closest to 73 style.

As for whether to choose Masako Inoue, he will have to talk about it after visiting the remaining two cartoonists. However, if there is no accident, now Masako Inoue is the most suitable person.

"The second? "Well," the shaft sorted out the draft, then turned back to Gao Cheng and said, "that may be a bit redundant, but I still hope to cooperate with you. In fact, I contacted the editor after seeing the vampire incident the day before yesterday

"Unlike in my cartoon, real-life events are less likely to be encountered by detectives, but different from urban detectives, it seems that they are more likely to encounter events than other people, and they can be solved no matter what the case is."

Gao Cheng browed.

Is this praising him or something

"Wu --!"

Just as he said this, a siren suddenly sounded downstairs. Masako Inoue was stunned for a moment. When he went to the balcony to check, he found that several police cars had stopped downstairs.

There was some silence in the room, but Gao Cheng took the initiative and said, "I'll go to see the situation and talk about the cooperation later."

On the third floor of the apartment, Gao Cheng meets Osaka Police Officer Otaki, who often helps the service department, among a group of policemen.

The dead man was an old man who lived on the third floor, guanyue Xiuli. He lived alone. Because of another incident in which the old man killed a student in the past, officer Otaki cooperated with the police department to monitor the old man.

But this morning, almost when Gao Cheng came over, the police didn't see the old man go out when he was used to walking, so they went into the room to check the situation. They found that there was a rope tied to the air outlet of the air conditioner in the living room, and the old man was hanged there with a chair upside down.

"So it's suicide?" Gao Cheng asked.

"Yes," officer Taki frowned. "Although the door is not locked, we have been monitoring the windows and doors of the room. There are no suspicious people going in and out. We have to commit suicide. The reason for suicide is not clear yet."

Taki was a little upset.

In any case, it is his dereliction of duty that the person under surveillance suddenly committed suicide.

"This old gentleman has been a high school teacher until a few years ago. The serial murderer Fei Tu Tong we are hunting is also a former student of him,

After receiving information that someone had seen him in Tokyo, we came here, because the only thing we could rely on was to introduce him to his job and take care of his old husband. Today is the third day of surveillance, and the result is... "

"Teacher! How could that be? " Along with Gao Cheng, shiko Inoue and the apartment residents were stopped by the police. When they learned that the old man was hanged, they choked and cried out.

"Miss wellbore?" Gao Cheng turned back and asked, "are you also a student of this old man?"

"Teacher guanyue was my head teacher in high school," shangzi Inoue said sadly. "But how could the teacher commit suicide? He asked me to borrow my high school album a few days ago."

Taki looks at Gao Cheng in doubt: "she is..."

"I'm looking for a cartoonist who lives in this apartment today," Gao Cheng said, looking around the body of the old man hanging in the living room. "However, it's a bit strange here. The height of the chair is not high enough for the old man to hang. It's impossible to tie the rope to the air outlet of the ceiling."

Taki looked at the chair lying on the ground and said, "it's really so hard. Is it a homicide?" It's incredible. If it's him, how did the killer get in and leave“ To be exact, it's suicide, but... "Gao Cheng's eyes swept through the room and landed on a sweeping robot and a long garbage can in the corner“ The whole room was clean and tidy. Only a little pencil scraps were left on the floor of the hanging position, and the garbage can was also dumped in the corner... "I think the chair that Mr. guanyue used to set up the platform was not the chair, but the slender garbage can, which was placed upside down under the air outlet of the air conditioner, so all the pencil scraps fell out and kicked the garbage can down afterwards, Let the robot set a good path to the corner, it will become the scene, as long as let the robot run again can be determined Gao Cheng looks at the old man's body in the middle again“ So, no matter how you look at it, the old man is suicidal. The difference is only motive. The old man doesn't know why, but he disguises his suicide as being murdered. He just seems to have some bad luck. He didn't expect that he was monitored by the police, and the scene layout was in vain. " When leaving the apartment, shangzi Inoue specially sent Gao Cheng, but his mood didn't seem to be very high“ In fact, "shangzi Inoue said sentimentally," I probably know the reason why the teacher did this. The teacher seems to have borrowed a lot of money because of the failure of stock investment. Like many people here, they are very dissatisfied with Mr. bupu, a stockbroker who lives on the second floor and causes a bad situation... "The teacher should bear a grudge. That broker is very bad, The teacher probably wanted to make the scene look like he was killed by that man. "“ I'm sorry, "Gao Cheng went downstairs and said to the cartoonist," it's such a bad thing for you. "“ It's all right, "Mr. Inoue said with a rare smile," even if there is no detective from Chenghu, this kind of thing will happen, and probably no one will notice the teacher's idea and treat the case as suicide? That's too sad for the teacher. " Gao Cheng handed his business card to Masako Inoue: "then, if you have anything, please contact me again." It's really a strange day. It seems that he is not easy to encounter a case at ordinary times, although this time it's just a special suicide case, and the system doesn't respond“ Ah, "Gao Cheng suddenly stopped," forgot to help Chiba sign...
