Gyeongpo Murder Case 横沟正史 1936Words 2018-03-16
Overhear someone talking? Thinking of his current situation, Kosuke Kindaichi was really shocked.But it seems that Kato refers to Professor Jiang Chuan instead of himself. So, who is Professor Jiang Chuan eavesdropping on? Kosuke Kindaichi looked around quickly.The only guests on the rooftop at the moment are Professor Jiang Chuan, Kosuke Kindaichi, and a foreign couple in the distance.Because, tourists who know the taste are going to take a bath before dinner at this moment. But the strange thing is that there are still such voices from the parasol: "Teacher, teacher, stop, this is immoral. How bad it is to eavesdrop on others!"

Kosuke Kindaichi blushed a little as if he had been stabbed to a sore spot. However, the condemnation of conscience is finally overcome by curiosity.He took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and deliberately let it drop in a very proper place.Immediately, Kosuke Kindaichi looked around—fortunately, no one noticed, and then quickly glanced inside the parasol sitting next to him while he was leaning over to pick up the handkerchief. Unexpectedly, seeing this made him gasp involuntarily, and bent over like this, staring blankly at the inside of the parasol. I saw Professor Jiang Chuan holding a telescope in his left hand, still looking at the sea; but holding a pencil in his right hand, writing something on paper.Judging from the stiff expression on the old professor's face, the scene he saw must be quite extraordinary.

Ms. Kato, who was trying her best to dissuade the old professor just now, was also frightened by the professor's expression at this time, and looked at the sea tremblingly. "Teacher," Kato's voice was slightly hoarse, "Which ship is it?" "It's the motor sailboat with yellow sails opposite. But you won't understand. You bastard, you can talk nonsense if you think no one will hear it..." Professor Jiang Chuan said viciously. At this time, Kosuke Kindaichi had returned to his original posture, but his heart was still beating violently, and his whole body was covered with sticky cold sweat.

From the attitude and content of the professor's speech just now, Kosuke Kindaichi discovered something extremely unusual. Does Professor Jiang Chuan know how to read lips?Otherwise, how can we know what he (she) is talking about through the lip movements of a person we accidentally see through the telescope? The so-called lip reading technique is to judge the content of the other party's speech by observing the opening of the speaker's lips and the movement of the tongue.Some children are born with hearing loss, or before they can speak, and their vocal organs are sound but unable to speak, so they grow up as dumb.But after learning lip reading skills, not only can you understand what the other person is saying, but you can also gradually speak by yourself by imitating lip movements.

"It's the ship opposite... talking nonsense..." Judging from the professor's words, he seemed to have seen a motor sailboat at sea, and someone on the yellow motor sailboat was saying something bad, and read them out one by one.For someone like Professor Jiang Chuan to stare at something so solemnly, the problem must be serious. Kindaichi Kosuke also cast his eyes on the sea.There are at least dozens of sailboats on the water, and there are not a few of them with yellow sails.Therefore, it is difficult to determine which ship the professor's telescope is aimed at. "Teacher." A moment later, Kato's deliberately lowered voice came from the parasol.

"Hey, what happened?" "The sailboat turned, but the conversation seemed to be over." "Who is it?" "A man and a woman." "young people?" "No, it's not very clear. Both are wearing big diving glasses and capes." Even Professor Jiang Chuan's voice became hoarse and deep. "Well, it seems that the sailboat is going to return to the shore. Let's go and see who it is." "teacher……" "Are you afraid?" Professor Jiang Chuan asked back.There was something chilling in his voice, and even Kosuke Kindaichi, who was eavesdropping next door, couldn't help feeling a chill down his back.

Just when the two professors were about to get up, a radiant woman in kimono, around fifty, suddenly walked up to her, holding a silver plate in her hand, and on the plate were two refreshing looking cups. "Oh, professor," the woman said coquettishly, "Where are you going? Someone brought you a cold drink..." Kosuke Kindaichi also knew this woman. She is the sister-in-law of Etsuko Liu, the proprietress of the Wanghailou Hotel, and the younger sister of Etsuko Ichiliu's late husband, Viscount Liu, Minzi Iliu.I was married once, but I don't know if I was kicked out or I wanted to come back. Anyway, I have been boarding at my brother's house.Until the end of World War II, the family declined, and now it is taken care of by the capable sister-in-law Etsuko Ichirigi.

As I said before, Yiliu Minzi was about fifty, but she was a slender, charming and charming woman.Judging from Yiliu Minzi's age, her brother Yiliu Viscount must be much older than his wife Etsuko. Professor Jiang Chuan seemed a little puzzled, "Ah, Ma'am is you... Oh, by the way, let me introduce you. This is my assistant Kato Tatsuko. Kato, this is the Viscount Ikliu I just mentioned Sister—Ms. Liu Minzi, the sister-in-law of the proprietress of this hotel." The two ladies then greeted each other in a feminine way. "Professor, I brought this specially for you, let's take a few sips as a reward..."

"Oh, what a coincidence," Professor Jiang Chuan frowned and smacked his lips, looking very anxious, "I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to do, so...but I'll be back soon." "In a hurry?" "Where, I want to go to the beach to find a motor sailboat with yellow sails." "Oh, a yellow motorboat. Mr. Garner and Etsuko are riding a motorboat, but the sails are red." "Is that so, Kato, let's go." "Ah! Professor, the drink I specially brought..." Minzi was about to follow Professor Jiang Chuan, but was stopped by Kosuke Kindaichi from the side: "Madam, just give me that glass of drink. It's just what I was waiting for." Guests are coming from the opposite side."

Hearing Kosuke Kindaichi's voice, both Professor Jiang Chuan and Ms. Kato stopped in surprise.Neither of them seemed to expect that there was someone next door. A flash of anger flashed in Professor Jiang Chuan's eyes, and then he stared intently at Kosuke Kindaichi's messy hair for a while, then urged Kato to hurry down from the roof. As soon as they went down, a person walked towards Kosuke Kindaichi with a smile.He is the Waiting Force Police Department of the Metropolitan Police Department.
