My neighbor's name is Conan

Everyone looked in the direction that Shiroyama Kazuma and Hattori Heiji were looking, and saw a photo frame on the cabinet nearby, with a family portrait of four people in it.

Yuanshan Heye couldn't help but say: "Really? But who is the person next to him?"

Shiroyama Kazuma replied, "The parents of Master Daiki who died in that murder case were Mr. Hihara Takitoku, the village chief at the time, and his wife, Ms. Zhongzi.

Mr. Hihara is a very cheerful and generous person, and he has a high prestige in the village, so he has served as the village chief for more than 20 years. So the tragedy that happened a year ago was very sad for all the villagers. "

Maori Kogoro looked at the footprints on the ground with a serious face and asked: "So these black footprints were left behind at the time of the crime?"

"Yes, the murderer was wearing shoes and stepped on the blood of the village chief's wife who was killed on the stairs, and left footprints by walking back and forth in the room." Shiroyama Shuma replied.

Mao Lilan was a little scared when she heard this and said, "So...so scary."

Qing Musong looked at the footprints and said, "These shoe prints extend for a long distance, all the way to the balcony."

From the middle of the stairs facing the door of this room to the balcony, the distance is estimated to be more than 10 meters.

Hattori pushed open the balcony door, looked around and said, "This balcony is really big. The bloody shoe prints seem to end here."

Then he came to the front of the balcony, looked at the traces left on the lawn below, and suddenly realized: "So that's it, the village chief must have fallen from here, right?"

Maori Kogoro looked at Shiroyama Kazuma beside him and asked, "Is there a murder weapon or something taken away?"

Aoki Matsuya looked at Shiroyama Kama.

This was something Aoki Matsu and a few others had discussed in advance, and they could ask if they had any questions.

Because Aoki Matsu's identity is different, if he speaks up, people will think that the Metropolitan Police Department is re-investigating the case, which will cause misunderstandings among the police officers who were handling the case at the time.

But it is different for Kogoro Mori and Heiji Hattori, they are just detectives, not police officers. They are not in the system and are not subject to these constraints, so they can investigate at will.

Chengshan Shuma replied, "We didn't find any sharp blades that could be used as murder weapons in the room. We did find some gems and antiques that disappeared later. All that was left were the blood-stained shoe prints in the room and the same shoe prints that extended from the back door to the cement road and back and forth."

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji immediately asked, "Are these really the only shoe prints?"

Chengshan Shuma nodded and replied, "Yes, it had been raining here continuously until the day before the incident, and the ground was very muddy."

"In other words, after the murderer killed the village chief and his wife, he drove away with the murder weapon and some valuables? This must be a case of robbery and murder, right?" Kogoro Mouri reasoned, holding his chin.

Hattori Heiji felt something was wrong when he heard this. If this was the case, there was no need for the villagers to treat Kudo Shinichi like this, so he looked at Shiroyama Kazuma and asked, "Did Kudo finally say who the murderer was?"

Maori Kogoro's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he asked nervously, "Could it be that his reasoning was wrong and he wrongly accused an innocent person of being a robber and murderer?"

"No, the result is..." Shiroyama Suzuma was a little embarrassed to say it and secretly looked at "Kudo Shinichi".

Before Chengshan Shuma could finish his words like squeezing toothpaste, a female voice rang out, "He said it was suicide."

A short-haired woman appeared behind "Kudo Shinichi" and pointed at him with indignation, saying, "This Kudo Shinichi deduced this case to be a suicide case in which the village chief forced his family to die together for love!"

Hattori Heiji was shocked when he heard this, "Commit suicide together?"

This sounds outrageous!

No wonder the villagers have that attitude towards Kudo Shinichi.

Anyone with a smart mind would not easily believe this conclusion.

The main thing is that it sounds really outrageous when you first hear it.

The same was true for the others, they all opened their eyes wide with a look of disbelief. After all, such a ridiculous inference was not something that the famous detective Shinichi Kudo would reason.

"Excuse me, who is this lady?" Hattori Heiji looked at him and asked.

"I've been living in this house since my parents passed away. I'm Makoto's classmate, Motosuke Hikawa. Look, Makoto is also in this photo, right? Behind the village chief." The other person said with his hands on his hips and a righteous look.

Hattori Heiji suddenly realized something when he heard this, "Wait, wait a minute, the Makoto you're talking about is Makoto Yada?"

Hikawa Moe replied, "Yes, that's right. It was the first person to discover the body and the first person to be suspected, Makoto Yada. However, on the day of the crime, he was staying in a hotel in Tokyo to take a university exam, so he was quickly cleared of suspicion."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji made a "1" gesture and said, "Then let me ask you a question. Where is Mr. Makoto now? Because he sent me a letter saying that he found Kudo's reasoning wrong and asked me to bring Kudo here, but he suddenly disappeared. What happened?"

Hikawa Moe said solemnly: "Makoto is not missing at all. I think it is very likely that he has been murdered."

"Ah!" Hattori Heiji was shocked again when he heard this. "What did you say?!"

Maori Kogoro also asked: "What's going on?"

Hikawa Moeyo clenched his fists and said, "Although everyone in the village says that he ran away to Tokyo to work and live, he is still the adopted son of this family and has inherited a lot of inheritance."

Maori Kogoro immediately guessed after hearing this, "Maybe someone wants to take away the inheritance and harm him."

Moeko Hikawa nodded and said with a worried look on his face: "That's right, otherwise with Makoto's personality, it would be impossible for him to have no news for half a year, and... and the person who killed him might be in the forest..." As if he suddenly realized what he had said, Moeko Hikawa quickly stopped talking.

Mao Lilan saw Hikawa's reaction and subconsciously asked, "In the forest? What?"

Hikawa Moeki did not answer.

Hattori Heiji looked at her and frowned and asked, "Who is it then? Why did they send me such a letter? What is the mistake in Kudo's reasoning?"

At this time, another woman came down the stairs and said as she went downstairs: "The motive of the former village chief of Nihara forcing his family to commit suicide was that he was diagnosed with cancer by the doctor, so he gave up on himself. The truth announced by Kudo Shinichi a year ago is the problem."

Hattori Heiji looked at the other person and asked directly: "Who are you?"

The other party introduced himself. "I am Fukasato Kawachi, a reporter from Toudou Shimbun. I am so sorry, but the door was not locked so I came in on my own."

Aoki Matsu looked at Kawachi Fukasato. This older lady didn't give people a good feeling. She looked a bit eerie. She looked a bit like Mori Atsushi when he first appeared on the stage. She looked like a bad person.

"So, what's the problem?" Hattori Heiji looked at him and asked.

When Kawachi Fukasato saw Hattori Heiji asking about it, he didn't have any sense of confidentiality and said directly, "The next day, the nurse at the hospital accidentally let it slip that although it was cancer, it was a benign tumor. After hearing that he could recover with surgery, the former village chief seemed very happy."

"What did you say?!" After being shocked, Hattori Heiji looked at the confused "Kudo Shinichi" next to him, and shook him hard: "Kudo, what's going on? Explain it! Hey, Kudo!"

After being shaken a few times by Hattori Heiji, "Kudo Shinichi" suddenly covered his forehead and said weakly: "I... I don't know, I don't know anything now..."

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji looked at him with some concern, "Kudo..."

[Shinichi...] When seeing this scene, Mao Li Ran felt inexplicably uneasy and irritated, and... at a loss.

Shinichi became Conan, but the memory is still there, and Conan still loves her.

But now, Conan has turned back into Shinichi, but he has lost his memory and doesn't remember her, let alone...

Maori Kogoro clapped his hands and said, "I see. I finally understand why the villagers in this village hate this detective boy so much."

Kawachi Fukasato looked at the "Kudo Shinichi" who looked a little strange and echoed, "Yes, that's because he is the great sinner who brought shame to the village chief that everyone respects."

Yuanshan Heye said with some worry and fear: "But this is too terrible. If this is true, it means that the real murderer is still at large, right?"

When Hikawa Moe heard what Toyama Kazuha said, he lowered his head and said another guess, "Everyone in the village said so. It should be the guy living in the forest who did it."

Everyone was a little confused when they saw her being so mysterious.

Hattori Heiji hated this kind of people the most. He was very secretive when he spoke. "Hey, you mentioned this just now. What is it? Who lives in the forest?"

At this time, Chengshan Shuma said: "That is a folk legend circulating in this area."

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji was a little surprised when he heard that.

There's no need to make folk tales so mysterious.

"Folk legend?" Yuanshan Heye was also a little unconvinced.

Shiroyama Shuma nodded and explained, "I remember hearing this a lot when I was a kid. Don't look at it when you see it in the forest."

At this moment, thunder sounded in the sky, making the atmosphere scary.

Shiroyama Kazuma continued, "If you don't avoid it, you will suffer retribution and end up being captured by Lord Shirakami."

"Dead...Lord Death God?" Hattori Heiji asked in surprise.

"Ah!" Mao Lilan seemed to realize something at this time. She looked out the window and looked at the dark forest outside.

Yuanshan Heye noticed Mao Lilan's movements and asked with concern: "Xiaolan, what's wrong?"

Mao Lilan shook her head. "It's just a little strange feeling."

[Shinichi is clearly in front of me, why do I feel like he is outside? ]

Mao Lilan's mind became even more confused.

Maori Kogoro snorted and said, "That's just a legend from childhood."

Shiroyama Kazuma continued, "Perhaps. The legend of Lord Shira is that 'those who destroy this land will be punished by the local guardian god.' It is a folk legend widely circulated in the local area. Until nine years ago, a man's daughter was in the lake of this forest-"

When it came to the most critical moment, a loud thunder roared outside the window, accompanied by lightning, making the atmosphere even more frightening.

"Until he loses his life." Chengshan Shuma said the key point.

"Oh, no way!" Mao Lilan said in surprise.

Yuanshan Heye also asked subconsciously: "Is it really there? In this forest?" As he said that, he glanced out the window.

But outside the window, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

At this time, Kawachi Fukasato continued, "Yes, after the girl entered the forest, she never came out again, and the villagers mobilized to search for her. Until the evening of the third day, some rumors began to spread among the tired villagers. Because the girl broke the unwritten rules from ancient times to the present and entered the forest in the dark, the forest guardian, Lord Shira, was angry, so she was punished."

Upon hearing these words, Toyama Kazuha and Mao Li Ran reacted strongly, with looks of fear on their faces.

"And the girl's father, who heard the rumor, later ignored everyone's advice and went into the forest to look for the girl at sunset. He never returned. Just two days later, the body of the missing girl was found in the forest. She had slipped and fallen into the lake and drowned. I remember her name, it seemed to be Yada Tamako," said Kawachi Fukasato.

Hattori Heiji discovered the key point and asked quickly: "You said her last name is Yada?"

Hikawa Moeki replied, "Yes, she is the sister of Makoto Yada who sent you the letter."

Maori Kogoro looked at her and asked, "Then who was the father who went into the forest to look for his daughter?"

Hikawa Moe nodded, "Yes, it's Makoto's father. His whereabouts are still unknown. Maybe Makoto's father was also killed by Lord Death God..."

Rumble…

Another loud thunder sounded.

"Ah!" Toyama Kazuha and Mouri Ran shuddered.

Maori Kogoro didn't believe in ghosts, and looked at Hikawa Moeki with some caution and asked, "But we can't conclude that this was done by that fictional character, right?"

Hikawa Moe said with a look of horror on his face: "I didn't believe it at first, but...but I saw it! At dusk, on the tree dyed red by the setting sun, there was a white-haired monster smiling silently and horribly with its teeth bared!"

"You, what did you say?" Hattori Heiji was confused by Hikawa's cute behavior.

Isn't this a murder case?

How did it suddenly become a ghost case?

Maori Kogoro also asked with some amusement: "Could it be that he mistook the monkey for a human?"

Hikawa Moe said with certainty, "It's not a monkey. People in the village saw it last week!"
