Stay away from Conan

Chapter 4 Cliff's Edge

Seeing this title, Gao Yuan felt a little familiar, so he temporarily put down the rail transit guide he wanted to buy, picked up the newspaper and started reading.

This is a newspaper from the Shikoku region. The content first tells the story of the "Lavender Villa Secret Room Murder Incident" that happened half a year ago.

The scene of the crime was a secret room with closed doors and windows. The deceased was the daughter of this villa family, and she was suspected of hanging herself.

The report detailed that after multiple investigations at the time, the police were unable to find any possibility other than suicide and almost closed the case as suicide. However, things took a turn recently. A high school detective who was traveling by discovered the method of creating a secret room and cracked the secret room scene that had given the police a headache for half a year.

This incident was informed by the high school detective to the police and the media, and this report came out.

The report used extremely sarcastic words to ridicule the incompetence of the local police in handling the case, allowing the possible murderer to roam free for half a year. At the same time, it also criticized the only suspect in the case who was in the villa with the deceased at the time of the crime. ——The maid employed by this family used almost all the words the editor could use to unreasonably rebuke her, denounced her murdering her employer as vicious and abnormal, and her lack of remorse for the six months since she committed the murder made the suspect a suspect. The scolding is useless.

At the end of the article, the ability of this unnamed high school student detective is praised. It is precisely because of the existence of this detective that this seemingly suicidal murder case will turn around. It also explains that the police are now convinced by the new evidence. The appearance and follow-up reports of the media are conducting surprise interrogations of suspects. Finally, it is emphasized that criminals will not escape punishment and the positive influence of the media in this regard.

After reading this eloquent report that filled the whole page, Gao Yuan quickly understood why he was attracted to this report.

As Takato who has completely watched all the plots that have been released in "Detective Conan", it is really impossible to forget this case, because this case is related to a very popular character in the Conan storyline-Koshizui Nanatsuki!

It was precisely because of the "Lavender Room Murder Incident" that high school student detective Junya Tokizu's wrong judgment forced Koshizui Nanatsuki's friend Mizuguchi Kana to death, which led Koshimizu Nanatsuki to plan "Detective Koshien" to avenge his friend. The incident ended tragically.

Wait a minute, did this case happen in Shikoku? In my impression, isn’t Koshimi Nanatsuki from Fukuoka?

No, that's not what we should be thinking about now. If we let it go, Mizuguchi Kana will be forced to commit suicide by jumping into the sea according to the development of the plot. However, he happened to travel to this time period and has the ability to prevent this tragedy from happening!

Moreover, if you go to solve the case, as expected, you can also get the reward of the case closing panel of "Bounty Detective" - ​​this is your only reliance at the moment. Besides, if you go to solve a case for which you know the standard answer, you can get an "S" "Grade evaluation is not easy to come by!

However, if you want to stop it, you may not have much time.

The report has been released, so Mizuguchi Kana should have been subjected to high-pressure interrogation by the police at this time. If he didn't hurry up, he might not be able to catch up to help her clarify the truth, and she would have jumped into the sea!

Thinking of this, I put down the newspaper, bought the rail transit guide, and prepared to rush to Lavender Villa overnight - really, this place is actually quite far away from the area where I am now!

Gao Yuan took action immediately and determined his route by studying the rail transit guide.

But when I arrived at the train station, I found that I was early and the nearest train would not arrive until several hours later.

It was not that Gao Yuan had not considered taking a taxi directly, but considering the price of taxis in Japan and the only cash he had left on him, he couldn't help but give up this option with a sigh of relief - Damn it, obviously the most important thing about the game "Bounty Detective" The reward "bounty" was not settled to me in monetary terms at yesterday's settlement? There was no bounty data even in yesterday's settlement. Could it be that as a "plug-in", I could only get additional rewards after my score reaches "S" level?

Hey, it seems that after solving the incident at Lavender Villa, we have to find a way to make money first.

Gao Yuan thought this way, sitting in the waiting hall of the station, looking at the clock in the station, he could only wait quietly, not even daring to take a nap for fear of missing the bus. After all, now is not like before time travel, he can There is a mobile phone alarm clock to remind you of the time, so you have no choice but to sit and wait.

It was just now that Gao Yuan felt that he was exhausted and remembered that he had not slept since yesterday. Maybe it was because the time travel was too shocking, or yesterday's discovery was too scary. My nerves have been tense until now. When I think of my relatives and friends before the time travel, I wonder what my situation is now in the original world.

Feeling this familiar but unfamiliar world, and recalling the various stories in "Detective Conan" in his memory, Gao Yuan finally felt a little relaxed. He waited until he got on the train and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Gao Yuan was woken up by the flight attendant, arrived at the destination station, passed through several subway transfers, and finally arrived at the destination Lavender Villa at noon.

It was a two-story villa with lavender planted outside. If the pitched roof was included, it could barely be considered a three-story villa. Most of the paint on the exterior wall has peeled off, and it looks like a very old building.

Arriving outside the iron gate of the villa wall, Gao Yuan pressed the doorbell. After waiting for a while, an old man wearing a black suit, Chinese character face and glasses came out and opened the door.

Looking at this somewhat familiar figure, Gao Yuan knew that he was the housekeeper of the Lavender Villa, that is, he knew the truth about the suicide of the daughter of the family, but chose to remain silent in order to protect the reputation of the daughter. Even if Kana Mizuguchi was suspected, it also led to the entire incident. What is the name of the important character in the tragedy?

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

The old man asked looking at the young man at the door.

"Sorry to bother you, is Miss Mizuguchi here? I'm her friend."

Gao Yuan asked tentatively.

"Oh, I'm looking for Kana Mizuguchi. She was taken away by the police early yesterday morning."

After hearing Gao Yuan's words, the old man was obviously a little impatient.

"Early yesterday?"

Hearing what the old man said, Gao Yuan began to think about it. The police interrogation of the suspect lasted for about 24 hours. If there was no result or conclusive evidence, he would have to be released within 24 hours. If he had been taken away early yesterday, he would be released now. It's noon, it's already past the time - no way!

"Then may I ask where is the sea near here?"

"Why do you ask?"

Regarding Gao Yuan's inexplicable question, the old man didn't want to continue talking. When he was about to turn around and leave, Gao Yuan grabbed his arm.

"Please answer me, this is important!"

Gao Yuan said in an extremely serious tone.

Seeing Gao Yuan like this, the old man seemed to be overwhelmed by Gao Yuan's momentum. He was stunned, and then pointed in one direction, "If it's near the sea, that's that direction, but that's not a beach, but a cliff. "

Upon hearing this answer, Gao Yuan immediately let go of his hand, said thank you casually, turned around and ran over there - I hope he was wrong! Gao Yuan told himself so.

After running fast for a few kilometers, Gao Yuan smelled the breath of the sea. Even though his body that had not been exercised much was already a little exhausted, Gao Yuan gritted his teeth and persisted. Compared with the college physical test The perseverance is still strong.

Soon, Gao Yuan saw a figure standing on the edge of the cliff! There was no doubt that it was a girl wearing a maid outfit.

The clear sea breeze blew her shoulder-length hair, which was tied into two ponytails, and the hem of her knee-length maid uniform was also dancing in the wind, making her thin figure seem to be crumbling.

The girl's eyes were filled with despair. She glanced at the magnificent sea under the cliff, and seemed to have finally made up her mind. She closed her eyes and jumped down.

But the moment she leaned forward, a hand held the girl's hand.

"Don't die! There is no need for innocent people to pay their lives for other people's mistakes!"

Looking back, Mizuguchi Kana saw a panting man looking at her with firm eyes.
