Detectives of Detective World

"Actually, the city man is not missing at all."

In the face of Hattori Heiji's question, Mizukawa's words surprised everyone present.

And when Shui Chuan Mengsheng said this, his face was full of gloom and worry: "Actually, I suspect that Chengren-kun may have been killed!"

"How do you say this?"

Mouri Kogoro said solemnly: "Miss Mizukawa, do you have any basis?!"

"Although everyone in the village said that Mr. Chengren came to Tokyo to work and live by himself, he is also the adopted son of this family after all. After the death of the village chief and his wife, he also inherited a lot of inheritance..."

Mizukawa didn't go on when he said this, but everyone understood what he meant.

"You mean that someone is secretly spying on those inheritances, which is not good for him?" Mouri Kogoro hesitated.

"I don't know, but with the character of the city man I know, it is absolutely impossible for him to disappear without a trace for half a year, and no news comes back!"

Mizukawa seems to have fallen into endless fear: "And the one who killed him might be in the forest..."

Shui Chuan Mengsheng said that he seemed to be afraid of something, opened his mouth and finally put his head aside.

"In the forest..."

These abruptly stopped words made everyone think a little, but seeing the other party's unwillingness to say more, it is not easy to force a person for a while.

"Then do you know who sent me this letter and for what purpose?"

Knowing that the sender had disappeared for half a year, Hattori touched his chin and said, "And what is the error of Kudo Shinichi's reasoning mentioned in the letter?"

"According to Kudo Shinichi, the reason why the former village head of Nihara forced his family to commit suicide was because he was diagnosed with cancer. The village head, who could not accept it for a while, chose extreme measures."

The one who answered Hattori Heiji's question, although it was also a female voice, was not Mizukawa, but a middle-aged woman with glasses and a mean face.

The other party came down from the third floor with a handrail of the stairs and said with a smile: "And the truth that Kudo Shinichi announced a year ago is the problem."

"Who are you?" Tang Ze looked at the other party and asked.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm Hanoi Shenli, a reporter from Dongdu News." The middle-aged woman smiled: "I'm so sorry, I didn't see the door lock and came in without permission."

But this woman looks a bit mean, it's okay not to smile, she looks like the kind of evil woman with malicious intent, with her sharp voice, she looks like a villain in a movie.

"So, where did Kudo's judgment go wrong?" Hattori Heiji looked at the woman and asked.

"Actually, the nurse at that hospital accidentally missed something the next day."

Hanoi smiled deeply and said, "Although the former village chief has cancer, it is a benign tumor.

When he heard that he would be able to return to normal after surgery, the village chief of Hihara seemed to be in a good mood. "

"What did you say?!"

Heiji Hattori was shocked when he heard the words, looked at Kudo Shinichi, who was silent next to him, and grabbed his shoulders with both hands: "Hey Kudo! What the **** is going on?!

Quickly explain! Hello, Kudo! "

Xiaolan and Kazuo also looked at Kudo Shinichi with complicated expressions, but the expectations in their eyes also expected him to make a reasonable explanation.

"I..." Kudo Shinichi covered his forehead with pain and confusion, and said hoarsely, "I don't know... I don't know anything now... I don't know..."

"Kudou..." Hattori Heiji looked at his friend with a blank face, opened his mouth and didn't know how to comfort him.

On the side, Xiao Lan stared at her lover in a daze, her face full of worry.

"That's it, I finally understand."

Just when everyone was worried about Kudo Shinichi's amnesia, Kogoro Mouri, who was beside him, tapped his left palm with his right fist: "No wonder the villagers in this village have a look of disgust when they see this kid Kudo."

"That's right."

Hanoi deeply looked at Kudo Shinichi with a bewildered face, with a playful expression: "It is because of his reasoning that the village chief that everyone respects has been embarrassed, and naturally he will not see him anymore."

"But it's also terrible."

After Yuan Shan and Ye heard the whole story, she suddenly realized something and her expression was a little sullen: "If it is according to what the previous few people said, it is time to kill the real murderer of the village chief's family, and he is still at large, right? ?"

"That's right, everyone in the village thinks so." Mizukawa Moesheng said that he could see obvious fear on his face: "They said it was done by the guy who lived in the forest."

"Hey, you just mentioned the guy who lives in the forest, who is that?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but ask, "Can you clarify?"

"It's not someone, but a folklore handed down from this generation." Shiroyama Shuma explained aloud.

"Folk legend!?"

Hearing this word, Yuan Shan and Ye on the side immediately exclaimed, and their eyes were full of fear.

No way, as a person who is afraid of ghosts, such legends and murder cases are like ghost stories.

But Chengshan Shuma didn't know what the little girl in front of him was thinking. Seeing everyone looking at him curiously, he organized a language and said, "Yes, I wanted this legend when I was a child.

When you meet in the forest, don't look at it, if you can't avoid it, you will definitely be punished.

The end after that is to become the prey of Lord Shirago. "

Boom!

A huge thunder sounded, which, in conjunction with the pitch-black mountains and forests outside, brought a hint of gloom to this less terrifying folklore.

"Hmph, that's just a legend that parents scared their children to weave when they were young."

After a moment of silence, Kogoro Mouri hummed, obviously disdain for the legends and stories the other party said.

"maybe."

Shiroyama Shuma's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he still explained the legend in detail to everyone: "But the legend of Lord Shirago is that anyone who dares to destroy this land will be judged by the local guardian deity.

This was originally just a strange legend that was widely circulated in our village and its surroundings.

Until nine years ago, when someone's daughter lost her life in this forest lake, the legend became true. "

"Isn't it?" Xiaolan couldn't believe it.

"Really?" Yuan Shan and Ye Kan asked Hanoi Shenli, "In this forest?"

"That's right, after that girl entered this forest, she was never seen again."

Hanoi Shen Nei expressed his terrifying past expressionlessly, but with that face, it made it even more gloomy: "At that time, everyone in the village was dispatched, constantly searching for the missing girl in the forest.

Until the evening of the third day, some rumors began to spread among the villagers who were desperate for the search.

It is said that the girl who entered the forest when it was dark angered the guardian of the forest, Lord Shira God, because of breaking the unwritten rules from ancient times to the present.

So he was judged by the other side. "

Hearing this, Xiao Lan and He Ye both had expressions of fear on their faces. Obviously, the two of them who were negatively resistant to ghost stories were still starting to feel scared.

"And it's just an opening."

Hanoi looked at the fearful two sentences in the deep and smiled, full of wickedness, and continued: "Later, the father of the girl who heard the rumor did not obey everyone's advice and entered the forest at sunset. looking for her daughter.

After that, the same never came back.

Two days later, everyone found the drowned girl's body in the lake in the forest.

I remember...that girl's name is Yata Tamako..."

"You said her surname was Yatian!?"

Hattori Heiji was shocked when he heard the surname: "That's not..."

"That's right, it's the younger sister of the man from Yada Castle who sent you the letter." Mizukawa Moisheng nodded.

"Isn't that the father who went in to find his daughter..." Kogoro Mori hesitated.

"That's right, it's Yada-kun's father, and his whereabouts are still unknown." Mizukawa's voice was full of fear: "Maybe Yada's father was also killed by Lord Shirago..."

A thunderous explosion caused Xiao Lan, who was already in fear, to shudder and scream.

"The God of Death is just a fictitious legend. I am inclined to use this name to commit crimes."

Tang Ze folded his arms and said, "In other words, there are not so many conspiracies at all, and the Yatian father and daughter just died accidentally.

And the villagers couldn't find an excuse, so they moved closer to the legends passed down from generation to generation. "

"I didn't believe it at all. I thought it was just the superstition of the elders!"

Shui Chuan Mengsheng's tone was excited, but his face was extremely pale: "But...but I saw it!!

At dusk, on top of the big tree that was dyed blood red by the setting sun, the white-haired monster silently showed a terrifying grin with animal teeth! "

"What did you say!?" Hattori Heiji couldn't believe it: "Are you sure you saw it?!"

"Isn't he treating monkeys as adults, right?" Kogoro Mouri didn't dare to be as dismissive as before, and he sweated profusely.

"That's definitely not a monkey!"

Shui Chuan Mengsheng clenched his fists with both hands and looked at Kogoro Mouri: "Last week, the people in the village office saw it as well as I did!"

"But this is strange, according to what you said, that Lord Shirago will only attack those who enter the forest at night, right?

Hattori touched his chin and pondered: "According to this statement, he was just passively attacking people who entered the forest at night.

But the village chief and his wife were killed in their villa. "

Having said this, Hattori Heiji looked at Mizukawa and said, "Do you know of any other reasons?"

"I do know this."

Facing Hattori Heiji's doubts, Hanoi smiled deeply and said, "Perhaps this matter has something to do with the development project in the village.

Hihara Village Chief's initial plan was to build a large enough tourist attraction in that forest.

Camping, barbecue, these are all projects that can attract urban people to come here, so it is naturally a good plan to revitalize the village, but unfortunately...”

"I see, so that's why you angered Lord Shirago?" Kogoro Mouri understood what Hanoi Fukasato wanted to express after hearing this.

"That's right, after the village chief Hirahara and his wife were killed, the proposal for planning and construction in the forest was canceled."

Hanoi Shenli said: "But as a hero in the village, the village chief Hihara always felt that developing the forest was the only way out for the village, and it could also prevent the village youth from going to big cities to work without jobs."

"Hero?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you use this term?"

"It's normal that you don't know. After all, it's been a long time. When Mayor Hihara was young, he was a track and field candidate for the Olympic Games."

When talking about this, Hanoi Shenli touched his chin and pondered: "But I forgot what project he is good at, but if you are interested, you can go to his room on the second floor to take a look."

When everyone heard the words, they went to the room of the village chief of Hihara, and saw many medals scattered on the table.

"Really, it seems that he has won the championship in every competition."

Hattori Heiji looked at the medals, only to find that only the medals and the suspenders had been removed.

"Ah, is this the statue of Nio-sama?" Xiaolan hesitated while looking at the statue lying on the table.

"I'll take a look." Kogoro Mouri said and picked it up: "It's quite heavy."

"The workmanship is very delicate, but it stands to reason that there should be one more statue." Tang Ze looked at the statue of King Ren and said, "Generally speaking, this should be a pair of two statues."

"Yes." Hattori Heiji looked at the statue of Nio in Xiaolan's hand and said, "This one is a humming general with his mouth closed. There should be another ha general with an open mouth, right?"

"On the night of the murder a year ago~www.NovelMTL.com~ one of the statues of King Zunren was lost along with the valuable finances of the village chief's family." Shiroyama Shuma explained.

"So that's the case, does it mean that he was taken away by the prisoner?" Kogoro Mouri said clearly.

"This statue of King Niu seems to have been handed down from the Edo period, right?"

Tang Ze, who has been appreciating antiques for three years, chose all the knowledge of neon cultural relics, and he was a little uncertain about the identification.

"That's right, this is the work of a famous sculptor in the Edo period. Now, a statue costs at least 5 million yen." Shiroyama Suma nodded and said.

"Five million!? So expensive!?"

After hearing the price, Kogoro Mouri felt like he had touched a hot potato. With a flick of his hand, he almost dropped the Niwang statue to the ground.

"But this is even more strange." Regardless of Kogoro Mouri's tricks, Tang Ze said, "It stands to reason that a pair should be more valuable, right? But the prisoner only took one of them?"

"We don't know that."

Shiroyama Shuma's tone was dull, and he glanced at Kudo Shinichi, who had a blank face: "But that person seemed to have noticed this at the time.

It was this Kudo Shinichi who participated in the case a year ago. "

For a time, everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to Kudo Shinichi, but the confusion in their minds became more and more.
