"I did lie about the results of my reasoning that I announced to the public." Kudo Shinichi said, "But the police certainly know the truth, and the only part of the lie was the motive for murder." In the mountain cabin, Kudo Shinichi said to Martin and Xiaolan.
-
At the same time, at the crime scene of the case a year ago, that is, the Hihara house which had been sealed for a year, a middle-aged woman with a square face suddenly appeared and started talking to Kogoro Mori and others.
"Although the village chief was diagnosed with a tumor during the physical examination, he knew it was a benign tumor with a very high cure rate when he received the examination report. The nurse who spoke with the village chief at the time also testified to this. She said that Mr. Riyuan was very stable and optimistic throughout the whole process."
"So the motive for suicide that Kudo Shinichi proposed at the time is totally untenable. Besides, the family of the Hihara village chief are all kind and cheerful people. Even if the village chief was desperate enough to commit suicide, the villagers would not believe that he would force his family to commit suicide with him."
-
Kudo Shinichi: "What really made the village chief despair was not cancer, but the fact that according to the family's medical examination report, he was the only one with type AB blood, while his wife and son both had type O blood."
"Blood type?" Xiaolan didn't react.
"Although I have forgotten the knowledge point, but since the topic of blood type has been brought up at this time, this son is definitely not the village chief's biological son." Martin solved the problem from another direction.
"Yes, what really broke the village chief was the fact that his son was not his own." Kudo Shinichi sighed: "From the situation at the scene, the village chief had an argument with his wife and killed her with a knife. At first, he wanted to pretend to be a robber, so he threw the murder weapon and valuables in the house into the lake. But in the end, he gave up and jumped off the balcony..."
"Even though I knew the truth, the village chief and his wife were both very popular with the villagers. In order to protect the child's psychology, I simply made up an excuse of cancer. Well, it was understandable that the villagers did not agree with this answer. At that time, I thought that since I didn't live here anyway, it didn't matter if they hated me."
Martin: "Young people always have a heroic spirit of sacrificing themselves, but after being a professional detective for five or six years and seeing the secular world, you will have to find out the third person, not to mention covering up the dead."
Kudo Shinichi did not deny it, but continued to ask: "You mean, a mature detective like Uncle Kogoro?"
"?" Mao Lilan was puzzled. Although her father had indeed been a private detective for ten years, when did Shinichi recognize him as a mature detective?
"Of course." Martin nodded heavily: "After all, uncle is only good at catching third parties."
Even though his voice was hoarse, Kudo Shinichi laughed like a flat tire, and then was hit in the kidney by a kidney-destroying elbow from Xiaolan who had reacted quickly.
-
Looking at the woman who suddenly appeared, Maori Kogoro was puzzled: "Who are you?"
"My name is Hanoi. I am the reporter who reported this case. I heard that Kudo Shinichi finally returned here, so I hurried here." Hanoi took a look at the cowering 'Kudo Shinichi' and said, "I thought he was finally willing to face up to his mistakes, but I didn't expect that he was playing some tricks again."
Maori Kogoro: "You mean tricks?"
Kawachi… no, Kawachi Fukasato walked towards Kudo Shinichi and looked at him closely: "Amnesia? It's just a lie. Ha, do you think the tricks you hide behind this face can escape my eyes?"
After pretending to be sophisticated and tricking Kudo Shinichi, Kawachi Fukasato turned around and left. Before leaving, he said, "I'm staying at the hotel outside the village. If you change your mind, you're welcome to come and talk to me."
After speaking, he walked away.
"Tsk..." Whether it was Kogoro Mori or Heiji Hattori, or the policeman from the village police station who accompanied them to the crime scene and stood aside with no sense of presence, they all looked at the woman as she left with speechless eyes. In their eyes, that kind of pretentious scam was just to fool children who had never attended kindergarten.
However, they could not have imagined that there was a rural kid here who not only had something to hide, but also had grown up in the village and had never experienced the many tricks in the city.
At this time, 'Kudo Shinichi' lowered his head, his pupils contracted, and his eyes were filled with fear.
-
"I still can't figure out why Yada hates me." Kudo Shinichi muttered: "I clearly asked the police officer to tell him the truth... Could it be that he doesn't agree with my real reasoning? Or is there really something I missed?"
"It's useless to worry about this now. Your reputation has already been ruined by him." Martin reminded him with a serious face: "Now everyone in the village knows that Kudo Shinichi was caught for being a hooligan and running around the village naked."
Was it his fault? You really feel good about saying that? Kudo Shinichi opened his eyes wide.
Martin turned a blind eye and said, "As your brother, I can give you two suggestions: First, leave this person and your reputation to Xiaolan and me. You can take a taxi back and report to Xiaoai for a physical examination."
"Secondly, I can lend you the chainsaw. You can find a mask and play the chainsaw killer and chase him. Then I can watch the show. As for the subsequent developments... I guess you can't control it even if you make a plan. Just improvise when the time comes."
"Martin, can you change me back first? As long as I show up, Hattori will know what's going on and how to cooperate. With his cooperation, it will be much easier for us to control Yada."
Conan was worried about going back, as he was very concerned about whether there was any hidden secret in this case. Besides, if Martin was left to suffer, the account of Kudo Shinichi would be completely unusable.
A year ago, it was not the Internet age, and Kudo Shinichi thought that it didn't matter if his reputation in this village was almost gone. Now it is the Internet age where mobile phones can also access the Internet. Even if he didn't see the reporter, Kudo Shinichi could guess that the news of "him" walking the bird might have spread.
And listening to Martin and becoming a chainsaw killer... Kudo Shinichi didn't know why he wanted to become a chainsaw killer, and beside Makoto Yada were Kogoro Mori and Heiji Hattori who treated him as their own. Even if he went to attack with a bad cold, he would just be pinned to the ground.
Kudo Shinichi hopes Martin can help him turn him back into Conan. As long as Martin uses the Reincarnation Watch to enhance his abilities, he can use the status refresh to turn him back into Conan or even the original Kudo Shinichi permanently in just a moment.
But Martin shook his head without any surprise: "No, that's ugly." There was no fun to watch when Kudo Shinichi turned back into Conan.
Martin suggested again: "How about we set fire to this cabin? If that guy still has a conscience and is afraid that you will be burned to death, he might want to run back to save you and confess the matter himself."
Kudo Shinichi: I don’t know whether Yada still has any conscience, but you don’t have any conscience at all.
"Not to mention that setting fire here could easily cause a forest fire. This wooden house is the last thing left by Uta's biological father. If I burn it down, even if there was no hatred before, there will be hatred later."
"I'll go." Mao Lilan said, "Pretend nothing happened, and when Mr. Yada isn't paying attention, I'll control him from behind, and then search for the gun?"
"I don't agree. It's too dangerous for you, Xiaolan." Kudo Shinichi said immediately: "The fact that Yada would commit suicide with that pistol is just my biggest guess. If I guess wrong and you fail again, what if he attacks you directly with the pistol?" Mao Lilan then suggested: "How about this, I will go back first, then avoid Mr. Yada, tell Dad and Hattori about it, and if I attack with them..."
Kudo Shinichi still hesitated: "What if Yada finds out something is wrong when you are discussing it..."
Martin interrupted, "How about this? Let's go back and knock that guy out while no one is paying attention, and then replace you? How about this..."
Kudo Shinichi interrupted him: "The one walking the bird like this is the real Kudo Shinichi. I don't even have a chance to explain?"
In fact, this problem can be solved by sending an email to a few other people. However, there is no base station near this village. Except for Martin's mobile phone which has a little intermittent signal, everyone else's mobile phone has no signal here.
Kudo Shinichi scratched his head, it was all because all his equipment fell into the lake when he transformed back. Otherwise, with the anesthetic needle and watch, it wouldn't be so troublesome... That's right!
"Martin, didn't the doctor make an anesthetic needle watch for you?" Kudo Shinichi asked, "Did you wear it?"
However, Martin's watch has no sights, and the firing direction is like a sleeve arrow. If the watch is worn upside down, it can stab yourself.
"I didn't bring it." Martin gestured behind him and said, "Now that Rabbit has learned about electromagnetic waves, he doesn't need that anymore."
"Ji~^_^"
Yes! And his rabbit! Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up, and he realized that he had forgotten to consider the rabbit. The three actors yesterday had already proved the effectiveness of electromagnetic waves, and even Conan himself had experienced it. Moreover, he could recover by simply applying a Band-Aid or some medicine afterwards. In addition, the attacks of Pokémon would not be included in the cognition of ordinary people, so even if the sneak attack failed, Makoto Yada would not know what it was doing.
After that, Kudo Shinichi naturally wanted Tuji to take action. Martin turned his head and asked him to discuss it with Tuji himself. However, after Xiaolan looked at Martin with pleading eyes, Martin shrugged and agreed.
Martin, Tuji and Xiaolan went straight down the mountain, while Kudo Shinichi followed the two and the rabbit from a distance, avoiding the sight of other villagers and slowly sneaked into the village.
When they returned to the hotel, they found that everyone was gone. Mao Lilan asked around and went all the way to the police station, only to find out that they had gone to the former village chief's house, and then hurried over.
As a result, when I arrived at the former village chief's house, I saw Yuanshan Heye running out with a panicked look on his face.
As soon as he saw Martin and Xiaolan, He Ye stepped forward and grabbed Xiaolan's wrist: "Xiaolan, no, it's not good!"
……
When Xiaolan walked into the room and saw the blood on the floor, her heart skipped a beat.
The blood on the ground was fresh, not left last year. A square-faced woman was lying in a pool of blood.
When Maori Ran looked up, only Maori Kogoro and Toyama Kazuha were there, but Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi were not there.
"Could it be... Shinichi did it?" asked Mao Lilan.
"How do you know...Xiaolan, why do you think so?" Kogoro Mouri was a little shocked.
Generally speaking, if we see that the two guys are not there, shouldn't we guess that they are chasing the murderer or investigating the case? How did Xiaolan guess that it was the detective boy who did it?
After leaving Kawachi Fukasato, Kudo Shinichi looked unhappy and said he wanted to be alone.
So Maori Kogoro and his companions left him at the scene, still hoping that Kudo Shinichi would be able to regain some memories by looking at the familiar scene. They left the house and went to the place where the former village chief fell to his death. Hattori Heiji found that the window where the village chief fell to his death was facing the lake, and proposed to go to the lake to take a look.
When they came back, they found Kawachi Fukasato lying in a pool of blood as soon as they entered the room, and Kudo Shinichi was standing beside her with a terrified look on his face, holding a bloody dagger in his hand, and his clothes were also covered in blood.
No matter who sees it, this scene shows Kudo Shinichi killing Kawachi Fukasato.
However, when they asked Kudo Shinichi, it seemed as if his already unhealthy brain was stimulated again, and he said that he had no idea what was going on.
Of course we have to call the police, but Kudo Shinichi looks like the murderer. If the police come, even Inspector Megure will definitely torture him.
But none of the three, Mouri Kogoro, believed that Kudo Shinichi would kill someone, especially Hattori Heiji, who reacted more strongly. He was afraid that Kudo Shinichi would turn back into Conan when he was taken away by the police for investigation, so he simply took Kudo Shinichi out and prepared to hide him first until he found the real murderer.
"Kudo Shinichi has been alone." Martin said suddenly.
Ran Mao Li knew what Martin meant: regardless of whether Makoto Yada had a gun on him before, now that he was alone, he had to be treated as if he had a gun.
"Don't worry, I see that this lady is not dead yet. As long as the ambulance arrives in time...Did you call an ambulance?" Kogoro Mouri originally wanted to comfort the uneasy Xiaolan, but he suddenly became anxious.
Their cell phones had no signal, so they could only dial a landline to call the police or an ambulance. Just now, Yuanshan and Ye went out to borrow a phone, and as soon as they went out, they met Xiaolan and Martin.
"Ah! I'll go make a phone call!" When He Ye reacted and turned around to run out again, the sound of sirens was heard outside.
Moreover, based on the experience of Maori father and daughter in dealing with high-intensity cases, they knew that the sound outside was a mixture of police car sirens and ambulance sirens. The police car and ambulance arrived together.
Before they had a chance to call the police, someone had already done it?
Kogoro Mouri immediately thought that the real murderer had called the police before attacking Kawachi Fukasato because he wanted the police to see Kudo Shinichi covered in blood. This was a case deliberately framed on Kudo Shinichi.
"Xiaolan, little girl (He Ye), and you boy (Martin), the current situation is very unfavorable to that boy. Before we find the murderer, we have to hide some things from the police..." Seeing that the police were about to arrive, Kogoro Mouri wanted to collude with everyone in desperation.
"No need, Dad. Where are Hattori-kun and that guy? I'll go find them." Mouri Ran was indeed relieved to know that the person lying on the ground could still be saved, and she knew that there was no need for collusion or anything. The fake Kudo Shinichi was undoubtedly the murderer.
