Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

The moment Yun Xianhe opened his mouth, Torada Shigeji couldn't help but stand up and refute him.

The half-raised hand waved vigorously, the amplitude was as chaotic and radical as the language:

"We didn't intend to kill him at all! We just wanted to scare the horse with fireworks when he was training, so that he would fall off the horse and get hurt! When we looked down from above, we thought he was dead! We didn't mean to do that at all!"

Shigeji Torada's tone was excited, mixed with a hint of fear.

He tried desperately to prove to Yun Xianhe that they were innocent:

"An accident, a mistake... You know what I mean? He was Patrolman Kai, and we all liked him. We just wanted him to get hurt! But, but..."

No one expected something like that to happen.

The brave man sitting opposite him looked at him quietly, smiled and said:

"You admitted it."

Something seemed to explode in my brain in an instant.

The fear of the secret that had been buried deep in my heart for many years being revealed spread to its maximum at this moment.

Awakened by these words and out of his anxious mood, Shigeji Torada stood there in a daze.

When he turned his eyes away from the threatening man across from him who knew his secret, he found that everyone around him was looking at him.

Those eyes were filled with disappointment, anger, and fear...and it made Shigeji Torada's heart skip a beat.

It's over, completely over.

The secret that had been hidden for six years was completely exposed.

Ryuo Kei on the side looked at the gloomy-faced Torada Shigeji in disbelief, as if he was meeting his good friend for the first time.

His half-open lips twitched, his throat was so dry that his voice became distorted:

"Fanci, why?"

Why do that?

Injured? Why did you let Kai-senpai get hurt?

The Yabusame archer in the festival is the reputation of the village, isn't he?

Wait, injured?

Long Weijing's pupils shrank as he thought of something.

Coincidentally, at this time, Shigeji Torada also looked down at him.

As the only survivor among those who caused the accident, Shigeji Torada had completely given up struggling at this point.

It's already been exposed.

Even if you are caught, it is better than being killed by an unknown murderer in an inexplicable way.

Thinking of this, Fanci looked at Long Weijing with an expression that was even full of relief.

"We just want our friend to win. Jing, we all hope you can win. After all, you are like a hero among us. So... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Hearing the other party admit it himself, Long Weijing closed his eyes in pain.

Seeing his expression, Torada Shigeji gave a short laugh and cast his gaze on Yamato Gansuke who had a stern face.

"In fact, we were shaken when we heard that Kai-senpai died of starvation. Yoshiro and Koji wanted to talk to you about it, Officer Yamato."

"But you didn't."

"You are right, officer, because... those two people were killed on their way to find you."

Speaking of this, Shigeji Torada was even frightened for a moment.

"But why did the murderer kill them? Did he want to avenge Mr. Kai?"

Conan frowned after listening to the whole story told by Torada Shigeji.

Yun Xianhe, who was sitting next to him, sneered:

"Because they didn't kill the person at all."

"What,?"

On the other side, Yamato Gansuke, who was planning to torture Torada Shigeji, turned his head and looked at Yun Xianhe after hearing this:

"Boy, can't you just finish your words in one go?"

The brave man who was yelled at raised his hands to cover his chest and gave Yamato Gansuke a calming look.

"Calm down, officer. I didn't follow up on this case from beginning to end, so I missed a lot of clues. Just like now, I said it was not evidence that they killed Mr. Kai, but it was only because of what he said just now."

"What?"

"Those who wanted to turn themselves in were killed."

At this point, Yun Xianhe revealed a meaningful smile:

“Why did the murderer kill them?

First, the murderer wanted to avenge the Kai patrolman;

Second, someone didn't want the incident to be exposed, so they had to kill their partner who was also an insider;

The third and final option is that this group of people holds clues to the real cause of death of Patrolman Kai."

The hero speaks in a very easy to understand way.

Everyone present could easily understand what he meant.

The people investigating the case began to recall all the clues they currently had.

Uehara Yui looked at Yun Xianhe deeply and said softly:

"If only there was someone like you at that time..."

"It seems that this lady has thought of something?"

The sudden voice startled Uehara.

When I looked up, I saw the smiling Yun Xianhe.

The latter did not feel that he was frightening at all, and asked in a gentle tone:

"Can you please tell me about it?"

Uehara Yui pursed her lips and said:

"My husband often talks in his sleep, with lights and noises, and seems very uneasy. I think if there is a clue, this should be the only one."

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe looked at Torada Shigeji again:

"Can you please explain it to me?"

When asked this question, Shigeji Torada was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to suddenly remember something and suddenly realized:

"That's right! When I just lit the fireworks, Yoshiro said he heard gunshots in the woods and saw a strange light... That's right! It must be that! That must be the murderer, right!"

Feeling that he had grasped hope, Shigeji Torada spoke with some excitement.

Yun Xianhe chuckled and didn't reply.

Conan and Hattori looked at each other, and they both thought of what happened when they went to see Ryuo Kei not long ago.

“People from the next village.”

"It's dark under the lamp."

This village has a traitor from the neighboring village.

In other words, there are people who have colluded with the neighboring village.

Xiaolan asked with some concern:

"Now what?"

"That is to say, even so, it is still unclear who the murderer is."

He Ye on the side also frowned, feeling that the barbecue in his hand didn't taste as good anymore.

Yun Xianhe took the skewer handed over by Zhu Fujingguang slowly, stuffed it into his mouth and replied:

"Wait and see what happens. First of all, you have to know what the murderer's purpose is."

Hearing this, He Ye and Xiao Lan were stunned for a moment.

"Isn't it to cover up the fact that he killed someone?"

"What about before that?"

"So what was the reason for the first victim's death?"

When asked, Kazuha and Xiaolan frowned and began to think.

Conan got more ideas from Yun Xianhe's thoughts, looking at Long Weijing who seemed to be sitting opposite him and said in a deep voice:

"It's for Yabusame archery."

"In other words, it's for the honor of the village."
