Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 426 Girl's Day Doll 3
"what happened?"

Xiao Ai didn't follow Ayumi, and stood with Gao Cheng with her hands behind her back at the side of the aisle.

"Worry about what's going on?"

"How can such a coincidence happen, I just stay and see."

"You don't..." Xiao Ai stared at Gao Chengdao suspiciously, "Could you still be thinking about the set of Girl's Day dolls?"

"How is it possible, that set of dolls was given to Ayumi, how could I snatch it from Ayumi?"

Gao Cheng turned his head to look at the stairs.

"By the way, the collector just now seems to be living in this apartment, right?"

"Is there any problem?" Xiao Ai said flatly, "The lady said that the other party lives in Room 503 downstairs."

"I don't quite understand. 4 million is not a small sum. The Guanye family is obviously very short of money but insists not to sell..."

"There's a reason for that, of course," the old woman walked over with her hands behind her back. "There are some things money can't buy."

"Old woman?"

Gao Cheng looked at the bent old man in surprise: "Why did you come out?"

"It seems that there is no sugar at home, I'll go buy some sugar," the old woman said hoarsely, "But, don't you guys go with those children?"

"Uh, this, it's enough for a few of them to go," Gao Cheng smiled dryly and took out his detective badge, "Let them buy the sugar by the way, so you don't need to go to the mother-in-law..."

How could he explain, could it be that he stayed because he was worried about something happening?
"Huh?" The old woman looked at Gao Cheng with a detective badge to contact Conan suspiciously, her old eyes widening in bewilderment.

"Are you all right, mother-in-law?"

"No, no, is this a phone?"

"It's a walkie-talkie. It's a little small, but it often breaks down and the power is not enough..."

Gao Cheng smiled and talked to Conan about Granu, just in time to see the previous identification expert Sanzhong coming from the stairs.

"Old lady," Sanzhong said happily when he saw that the old man hadn't gone far, "Can I get my phone? Because there may be important things..."

The old woman squinted her eyes and nodded: "Okay, I don't have to go out to buy sugar... But let's say it first, no matter what you say, our Guanye family will not sell that hanging scroll."

"In fact, Mr. Jinqu is right, it is wiser to hand over the Thor hanging scroll to professional collectors as soon as possible..."

"Hmph, did you take his money?"

The old man opened the door without a good face.

"The phone is in the living room, take it and leave quickly..."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just speaking objectively."

Sanzhong walked into the living room with some embarrassment, and was suddenly startled by the chaos of the living room: "What, what's going on?"

"what happened?"

Gao Cheng followed into the living room, and suddenly found that the whole living room seemed to be turned over by someone, the glass door of the balcony was open, the curtains were blown by the wind, miscellaneous things were scattered all over the floor, and there was a fax machine beside it. Non-stop, fax paper blowing everywhere.

"It's a document faxed by Mr. Guanye..."

"It doesn't seem to be just the living room," Xiao Ai whispered outside, "The bedroom here has also been turned over."

"It's really strange," the old woman said in confusion, "I was fine when I went out just now..."

"Did a thief ever come in?"

Gao Cheng picked up a fax paper: "Mother-in-law, did you have a fax when you went out?"

"It should be," Sanzhong helped, "because I called just now, and when the old lady hung up, there was a sound of the fax machine starting."

Gao Cheng silently put down the fax paper and looked towards the balcony: "Let's see if there is anything missing in the room first."

It only took a few minutes for the old lady to go out, it was too weird.

……

After a while, Conan and the others all returned to Guanye's house, together with the Guanye housewife who forgot to bring her wallet and turned back. Everyone was almost shocked by the changes in the house.

"Only the Thor hanging scroll here was stolen. Sure enough, a thief came in..."

Mitsuhiko and Genta followed and looked at the place where the scroll was originally hanging.

"It's abominable. Not only did they steal the paintings, but they also turned the house in a mess."

"I-I see," Sanzhong said with an ugly face, "let's call the police first..."

"It won't be too late to call the police again."

Gao Cheng interrupted: "Just a few minutes after the old lady went out, someone sneaked into the house. It seems that it is not as simple as a thief. In such a short time, sneaking in, searching, stealing the painting and then escaping... Isn't it too fast? And At that time, the old lady and I were not far from the door, and no one came in or out at all..."

"Could it have come in from the balcony?" Mitsuhiko asked, "Isn't this often the case on TV? The thief climbed down from the roof along the rope..."

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Then why did you choose this room? The curtains in the living room are all drawn, and the glass door should be closed in front. You can't see the inside of the house from the outside, and you are playing rope games outside during the day. Isn't it easy to spot?"

Mitsuhiko hesitantly said: "This, maybe the thief has been hiding there on the balcony, and then heard the old woman call and said she had to go out before coming in..."

"Let's not say that there is still a fax machine in the house, there may be people waiting for faxes at home. The strangest thing is that the prisoner turned over the living room and bedroom, but in the end he only stole the hanging scroll, knowing the value of the painting There are not many people, it can be seen that the original purpose of the prisoner was for that painting..."

Gao Cheng turned his gaze to the Girl's Day doll next to him: "Since he knows this painting so well, he should also know that the scroll is hanging here."

Conan nodded and said, "Yes, there is no reason for thieves targeting scrolls to mess up other rooms unless..."

"Unless it is deliberately pretending to be an ordinary theft scene," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "this is because the prisoner has no clear alibi, so that he will not be suspected after the incident... That is to say, the prisoner is aware of the crime. The value of the hanging scroll, and it is easy to be suspected of being stolen because of the hanging scroll.”

The bald fat man suddenly appeared at the door and said in amazement, "What happened? What a mess here..."

"It's this uncle," Mitsuhiko and Yuantai grabbed Fatty, "he is the most suspicious!"

"Ah?" Fatty said stunned, "What are you talking about? I just came to see Sanzhong and didn't go back to see..."

"Then uncle, do you have an alibi?"

"I originally planned to stay at my house with Mr. Mie until the evening. Wait, what about the Thor hanging scroll?"

The fat man was in a cold sweat and looked at the crowd inquiringly.

"I'm afraid it was stolen," Mie also looked at Fatty suspiciously, "Mr. Jin Qu was indeed with me before, but when I couldn't find my phone to make a call, he went out for something..."

"Hey, I just went out to buy cigarettes," Fatty said with sweat on his face, "Why do you suspect me when the painting is gone? Maybe it was hidden by the Guanye family, after all, you can get 2 million You don’t have to sell paintings yet, right?”

Ayumi pursed her lips and stood in front of the doll stand. Noticing that it was already evening, she anxiously looked at Conan who was thinking beside her: "Conan...do you know who the prisoner is? If you don't hurry up..."

"I'm still thinking..."

Conan secretly wiped off his cold sweat, and suddenly looked at the surprisingly calm Gao Cheng.

I will call the police later... Is there any problem with calling the police?

"Kiroto," Conan's eyelids twitched, "what do you know?"

This guy, at the beginning, said he was staying for something, maybe it was because of this?
