Detective Cauchy

Chapter 7
At this moment, the elevator reached the third floor, and everyone walked out of the elevator.

Just when Conan wanted to ring the doorbell of Shimazawa's house, he found that the door of Shimazawa's house was suddenly opened.

"Hurry up, let's hide first." Seeing this, Conan didn't have time to think, and quickly called his friends to hide at the exit of the stairs.

After Conan and the others hid, a man and a woman from Shimasa and his family came out. The man had a pair of sunglasses on his face, a cool tight leather jacket, and black gloves on his hands.

This is the typical villain look that is often seen on TV.

The woman was also dressed in the same way.

"Wearing black gloves and sunglasses...it's scary." Mitsuhiko immediately became nervous when he saw the two people's outfits.

At this time, the woman suddenly complained and said: "You didn't take care of the aftermath properly. Why did you kill him?"

"Stop being wordy!" the man in the sunglasses said in a tone of resignation.

"They killed people." After hearing what these two people said, Guangyan, Yuantai and other young friends were shocked, and they covered their mouths in fright to prevent themselves from screaming.

"Damn it, we're late." Conan clenched his fist and said angrily.

After all, he had heard with his own ears what these two people said that they killed people, and coupled with his previous speculation about the clues of the ring, he also believed that these two people were the murderers.

Even Kexi was a little puzzled, could it really be these two people?

If the owner of that ring has been killed by these two people, doesn't that mean that his mission has failed?

However, since this is the case, why hasn't the system notified him that the mission failed?
"Something's wrong." Cauchy thought inwardly. According to the pissing nature of Conan's cartoons, it might not be that simple.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Conan, what should we do now?" Mitsuhiko asked nervously.For these children, every time such a critical moment comes, Conan is their backbone.

"I had no choice but to call the police immediately." Conan quickly made a decision, and ran down the stairs quickly with a few friends, wanting to go outside to call the police before the two entered the elevator.

Cauchy followed closely behind, but Cauchy was still thinking in his heart, what is wrong?

Just when Kexi was puzzled, a message from the system came slowly in his mind: "Warning, due to the impact, the progress of the plot of this mission is accelerated, and the key person of the mission will die within 1 minute. If Failure to rescue in time will lead to mission failure."

"What!" Hearing the prompt from the system, Coxi was taken aback suddenly. Could it be that the two people just now were not the murderers, and the owner of the ring has not been killed yet?

It should be, he believed that it was impossible for the system to lie to him.

Because he was interrupted by the news from the system, Cauchy had already stopped. At this time, he was still on the third floor, while Conan and the others had already run downstairs.

The system reminded him that there was still 1 minute left, and the person who was the key to the mission was about to be killed, so it might be too late to find Conan now.

"What should I do? There is less than a minute left, if you don't hurry up, that person will be killed." Ke Xi was secretly worried.

First of all, Cauchy's main concern is not whether his mission will fail, but the safety of that person's life.

Perhaps because of Conan's influence, Cauchy's mind is also based on life. For a task and a life, he cares more about that life.

His mission can be failed three times, but if that person dies, there will be no resurrection.

Therefore, he must find a way to save that person. If that person died because of his appearance, he would feel very guilty in his heart.

"Tick tock, tick tock!"

Time passed bit by bit, ten seconds had passed in one minute, and Cauchy still had no clue in his mind.

So Cauchy stopped walking back and forth, and anxiously asked the system: "System, can you give me some more reminders?"

"Sorry, host, this is not within the scope of the system's prompt." The system said.

"Damn." Ke Xi cursed secretly.

"Tick, tick!"

Another ten seconds passed, and only 40 seconds remained.

"What should I do? What should I do?" As time passed, Cauchy became more and more anxious, and cold sweat kept dripping on his face.

"If it was Conan, what would he do?" Cauchy suddenly thought of Conan. When watching cartoons, Conan would always think of a solution when it came to such a moment of life and death.

Thinking of this, Cauchy took a deep breath, and his mood slowly calmed down, recalling the plot of the cartoon "Detective Conan" he had seen before.

Although the system blocked the memory about the plot of this mission, it did not block other memories.

"Tick, tick!"

Another ten seconds passed, and only 30 seconds remained.

Recalling Conan's appearance every time he solves a case, Cauchy's heart suddenly moves, and he begins to learn Conan's way of reasoning and analyzing cases.

"First of all, there are two clues. First, the owner of the ring is trapped in a room on the west side of the apartment building by the window. Second, the name on the wedding ring starts with the letter MtoA."

"If there are only these two clues, then those two people just now are the murderers. However, the system said that the person who is the key to the mission is not dead. Therefore, those two people are not the murderers. They should be the owners of the house. Masakazu and Shima Asuka couple."

"Since it's not them, there is only one suspect left." Ke Xi quickly analyzed in his mind.

In the second clue, it is not only the Shima and his wife that match the beginning of the name of MtoA, there is another one, that is Akihiko Uehara and Misato Uehara.

Masakazu Shima and Asuka Shima's names start with M and A.

The names of Akihiko Uehara and Misato Uehara start with A and M.

The two are exactly the opposite.

If the ring is a gift for a man to a woman, only the names of Shimasa and Asuka Yoshima fit MtoA.

However, who said that rings must be given to men and women?

If it is a girl giving a boy, it does not rule out the possibility that the ring was given to Akihiko Uehara by Misato Uehara.

That way, their names start with MtoA.

Similarly, the geographical location of the room in their house is also in line with Clue [-], the room on the west side by the window.

What's more, when Kexi was on the floor of Akihiko Uehara's house, the woman who walked out of Akihiko Uehara's house, the color of the shoes she wore had long made Kexi suspicious.

At first, Ke Xi thought she was just wearing the wrong shoes, but after asking Xiao Ai in the elevator, he also remembered that the two shoes on the woman's feet were not only different in color, but also different in size. Same.

As mentioned above, that woman is definitely not Misato Uehara.The real Uehara Misato may have been imprisoned by her.

"Tick tock, tick tock!" As Cauchy thought, there were less than 1 seconds left in one minute.

Now that we have figured out who the suspect is, it's time to act.

Kexi moved, and rushed up the stairs without hesitation.

The time is less than 20 seconds. This is the third floor, and Uehara Misato's house is on the fifth floor.

Therefore, as long as he rushes to Uehara Misato's house within 20 seconds, there is still hope to prevent the murder.

"Tick, tick!"

Time goes by bit by bit, 15 seconds, 12 seconds...

Cauchy's figure was also rapidly climbing up the stairs, racing against time.

……

At this time, in Uehara Misato's home, the woman who was suspected by Coxi before was holding a sharp dagger in her hand, and a woman who thought her hands and feet were tied was lying at her feet.

The bound woman is the owner of the ring, Misato Uehara.

"Hehe, since your husband Akihiko Uehara is not here, I can kill you. If you die, he should be very sad, right?"

The gentle and friendly look that the woman had put on when she was in front of Conan and the others had long since disappeared, and now she had a gloomy and frightening expression.

"Woooo..." Misato Uehara's eyes were terrified at her feet, and her body kept twisting.

"If you want to blame, you can blame that guy Uehara Akihiko. If he hadn't meddled in his own business, I wouldn't have been fired from the company. He ruined my life, so I'm going to ruin everything about him too." smile.

This woman's real name is Nagatogawa Yuyo, and she was originally a colleague of Uehara Misato's husband, Uehara Akihiko.

Because of the corruption in the company, he was discovered by Akihiko Uehara and was fired by the company, so he held a grudge against Akihiko Uehara.

When she came here today, she originally planned to kill Uehara Akihiko, but found that Uehara Akihiko was not at home, only his wife Uehara Misato was at home.

So he transferred the hatred for Uehara Akihiko to Uehara Misato, stunned Uehara Misato with the pre-prepared drug, and then locked him in the storage room.

I wanted to wait for Akihiko Uehara to come back, but Misato Uehara who woke up accidentally threw the ring and the S-shaped hook downstairs, which attracted Conan and others, and was also seen.

Therefore, she planned to kill Uehara Misato in order to take revenge on Uehara Akihiko.

Nagatogawa Yuyo squatted down slowly, grabbed Misato Uehara's neck with one hand, and held the sharp dagger in the other hand, and said to Misato Uehara grimly, "Go to hell!"

As she said that, the sharp dagger in her hand fell fiercely, trying to give Misato Uehara a fatal blow.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Dong dong dong..."

Hearing the knock on the door, Nagatogawa Yuyo's dagger that fell in mid-air also stopped, and she frowned and looked in the direction of the door behind her.

"Could it be that Akihiko Uehara is back?" Nagatogawa Yuyo frowned and thought.

If it was an outsider, I'm afraid they would ring the doorbell instead of knocking on the door.However, if it is Akihiko Uehara, if he forgets to bring the key, he may knock on the door.

After all, he was at his own home, so there was no need to be so polite to ring the doorbell.

Thinking of this, Nagatogawa Yuyo got up and walked towards the gate with the dagger in hand.

For her, Akihiko Uehara is the guy she most wants to kill.

After Nagatogawa Yuyo walked to the door, he looked out through the peephole on the door.It was discovered that the person outside was not Akihiko Uehara, but a child.

This child, of course, was Cauchy who arrived in time.

"Why is it this brat?" Nagatogawa Yuyo frowned when he saw Kexi standing outside.

She remembered this brat, who was one of the few brats who came to ring the doorbell just now.

After making some calculations in his heart, Nagatogawa Yuyo decided to open the door first and get rid of this brat.

Otherwise, with this kid guarding the door, even if she killed Uehara Misato now, she would not have time to escape.

Nagatogawa Yudai hid the dagger on the counter next to the door, then opened the door, then showed a warm smile, and said to Ke Xi: "Little friend, why are you here again?"

When Ke Xi saw the other party opened the door, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

One minute has passed, and the system did not prompt him that the mission failed, which means that Misato Uehara has not been killed yet.

Koshi glanced at Nagatogawa Yuyo who was smiling gently at him, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

The ancients said: People should not be judged by their appearance.

Now it seems that it is so.Who would have thought that such a gentle and beautiful woman would be a murderer?

Ke Xi ignored her, but broke into the room without her noticing.

As soon as he entered the room, Cauchy found a pair of wine-red high heels at the entrance, which were indeed different in color and size from the brown-red high heels worn by Nagatogawa Yuyo.

"Little friend, what are you doing?" Kexi's sudden intrusion made Nagatogawa Yuyo startled, and asked Kexi anxiously.

"Auntie. Is your name Uehara Misato?" Koshi looked at Nagatogawa Yuyo and suddenly smiled.

"No... that's right, I'm Misato Uehara, what's the problem?" Yuyo Nagatogawa was shocked and tried to calm down.

"Really? Then what's the name of the resident next door to you?" Cauchy pretended to be puzzled.

"Didn't Auntie say it before, I don't know the name of the neighbor next door." Nagatogawa Yuyo's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

"If it is a resident upstairs, you may not know it, but if it is on the same floor as you, and it is still your neighbor next door, it is impossible for you to not know it after living for so many years."

"Also, the two pairs of shoes by the entrance are different in color and size. They should belong to two people, right? As far as I know, there is only one lady, Misato Uehara, in this house. There is no need to buy two pairs of shoes of different sizes, right? ?”

Speaking of this, Kexi's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at Nagatogawa Yuyo closely: "In this way, you are not Misato Uehara at all. The real Misato Uehara may have been imprisoned by you, right?"

Hearing what Kexi said, Nagatogawa Yuyo's expression changed, he quietly touched the handle of the door, locked the door, and then smiled at Kexi: "Little friend, you are really smart."

"It's okay, I watched too many "Detective Conan" cartoons, and it became like this." Ke Xi smiled lightly.

"But do you know that smart kids can sometimes be annoying?" The smile on Nagatogawa Yuyo's face suddenly disappeared, and his expression became gloomy.

And her hand touched the place where the dagger was hidden on the counter, and soon, the sharp dagger was held in her hand.

"That can't be helped, I'm not RMB, it's impossible for everyone to like me." Cassie glanced casually at the dagger in the opponent's hand, and Coxi spread his hands, helplessly.

"If that's the case, then you're going to die!" Nagatogawa Yuyo held the dagger and rushed towards Kexi.

However, Cauchy had been prepared for a long time. The moment the opponent made a move, Caxi's small body moved along with it, quickly dodging aside.

"I'm sorry, I might disappoint you, I don't want to die yet... Ring of hypnosis, activate!"

As soon as Cauchy finished speaking, the ring of hypnosis emitted a faint purple light.

Immediately afterwards, Nagatogawa Yuyo's body trembled, her vision suddenly became blurred, and her body slowly fell down.

"Huh! It's really dangerous." Looking at Nagatogawa Yuyo who fell to the ground, Kexi let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he has the ring of hypnosis, otherwise, with his current small body, he might not be able to beat this vicious woman.

Ke Xi began to look at the situation in the room, found the storage room, opened the door of the storage room, and walked in.

Sure enough, the owner of that ring, Misato Uehara, was lying on the ground tied up at this time.

"Woooo..."

Seeing Coxi coming in, Uehara Misato struggled and looked at Coxi for help.

Kexi hurried to her side and tore off the tape that blocked her mouth.

As soon as the tape was torn off, Uehara Misato asked anxiously, "Where is that woman?"

"Don't worry, she has been knocked out by me, and she is lying at the entrance now." Coxi said while helping Misato Uehara untie the rope.

"What?" Uehara Misato stared wide-eyed, looking at Coxi in great surprise.

Did she hear wrong just now?The six or seven-year-old child in front of him actually said that he knocked out that fierce woman...

What's more, what she didn't expect was that Coxi could find this place through the ring she left behind!

This is simply incredible!
Is he really just a six or seven year old kid?
Uehara Misato asked curiously: "Who are you...?"

"Me?" Kexi was slightly taken aback, his eyes wandered a few times, he thought for a while and then said, "My name is Suzuki Kexi, I can barely be considered a detective!"

He learned this sentence from Conan, although he also felt a little pretentious...
