Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Hattori looked at the body lying on the ground with a serious expression.

Maori Kogoro on the side cursed fiercely:

"This murderer is really rampant!"

Conan, who was standing aside, looked at the scene quietly, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Maori Kogoro looked around at the people present:

"In short, everyone should go back to your rooms now. Don't act alone. Wait until dawn when the police show up."

In the distance, Xiaolan and Heye held each other's hands with some fear.

"Hey, Xiaolan, that Fanci is really..."

"Shh-"

Xiaolan gestured to her to keep quiet, then she put her arm around her as if to comfort her, and then led her into the room:

"It's okay Heye, my dad and the others are here, nothing will happen."

After watching the two go away, Maori Kogoro set his sights on the Torada couple:

"Please go back to your rooms, and try not to go out."

Torada Tatsuei glanced at the half-open door and said with some fear, "Okay."

He then helped Naotobu Torada, who was a little unsteady due to the blow, back to the room.

After taking a look at the three of them, Uehara Yui turned and walked in another direction.

The three people who stayed there breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one around.

Hattori wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice:

"Really... that guy really dared to light a fire..."

"This is just nonsense. If we had come a little later, the whole house might have burned down."

Maori followed with a scolding.

Conan on the side smiled and comforted:

"But this is the only way to make it real, right? Otherwise, if the murderer sees it, all our efforts will be wasted."

"Well... that's true."

After the three of them finished speaking, there was silence for a while.

Hattori turned his head and looked at the window across the corridor, as if he wanted to see something through the continuous rain.

"Next, it depends on whether the other party will take action."

·

Longwei family.

Ever since he heard what Torada Shigeji said today about how they killed Mr. Kai, Ryuo Kei's heart has been restless.

Even late at night, he still stayed in the training room, pulling the bowstring again and again.

Rumbling--

The light of lightning shone through the unclosed door of the training room, and combined with the coolness of the autumn rain, made Long Weijing shiver uncomfortably.

snap,

Something hit the wooden floor with a crisp sound.

Long Weijing put down the bow in his hand, turned his head and saw a small gray notebook lying quietly on the floor.

"Who?"

No one responded.

Long Weijing swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a moment, and then went forward to check.

After making sure that there was no one outside, he closed the door, then half-knelt down and picked up the notebook.

He opened it carefully.

After seeing what was written on it, his eyes suddenly widened.

"What, how could this happen?!"

This notebook records the entire process of his four friends' murder of Gento Kai.

Including the discussion among them about whether or not to surrender after discovering the person was dead.

When he saw that they chose to remain silent in the end, Long Weijing bit his back teeth, his face full of pain.

But the diary does not end here.

When Long Weijing opened the last page of the diary, he was shocked to find a suicide note written on it.

The strange thing is that the handwriting on this suicide note is 80% similar to his, and there are traces of water droplets on the words.

"…I cannot forgive such a thing, so I decided to die to comfort Mr. Kai's soul in heaven. My last words, Ryuo Kei, how could this be my name?!"

"Because it means you will soon die just like what is written here."

My daughter's slightly twisted laughter sounded at the door.

The moment the door opened, cold wind mixed with rain rushed into the room, making Long Weijing shiver.

He looked up at the person standing at the door in disbelief:

"Ms. Rong?!"

The murderer of so many murders turned out to be Torada Tatsuei? !

Although he knew the murderer was nearby after hearing the analysis of those people in the woods this afternoon.

But when the other party really appeared, Long Weijing was still full of disbelief.

He half-opened his mouth and looked at the man with the evil expression, his throat dry:

"why?"

"Oh? Are you asking why I said that just now?"

"No, you are... here to kill me, right?"

As he said that, Long Weijing looked at the gun in Torada Darong's hand with fear.

The latter was satisfied with his cleverness and laughed happily:

"What a smart boy, you guessed it right."

"Why! Do you want to avenge Mr. Kai?!"

"Revenge? Hahahaha! This is so funny!"

As if thinking that the other party could not escape from here, Torada Tatsuei readily admitted:

"No, I even killed that guy Kai!"

"What,"

Rumbling--

There was rumbling thunder outside the door, and the blazing white lightning made the man standing there with a crazy expression look like the man-eating demon in the legend.

Torada Tatsuei stroked the barrel of his hunting rifle, as if he was satisfied with Torada Kei's angry and terrified expression:

"That's right. I wanted to injure him a little, so I shot the horse's foot with this shotgun. I didn't expect him to fall off the cliff like that!"

Darong couldn't help laughing when he said this.

"But then some people came and made a lot of noise, as if they were the ones who killed Mr. Kai. It was hilarious!"

The woman's voice was mixed with laughter and pride, and the rising tone was distorted, as if she had no special reaction to killing a person.

Long Weijing looked at her blankly:

"Then, why did you kill Yoshiro and the others,..."

"Hehe, if they had just kept it in the dark and said nothing, it would have been fine. It was Yoshiro who said he would go to the police to report that he saw the fire and heard the gunshots. But they ended up getting punished by a tornado! Hahaha! It's their own fault!"

"Then why am I also within your killing range!"

Torada Tatsuei looked down at the excited Longwei Jing and smiled as if giving alms to him and said:

"You wanted to interfere with our gambling, so you have to turn into ashes."

boom

The door to the training room was flung open.

Standing on both sides were villagers from the neighboring village holding torches.

"I will use the fire I created to send you off!"

The sudden appearance of a group of people scared Long Weijing. He was still a little unresponsive and asked subconsciously:

"What bet?"

"Of course it's the number of targets hit by archery during the festival! Kai shot every time for ten years straight, until I moved the target... If it didn't go off, there would be no way to bet!"

Darong's words were awe-inspiring, and he approached Longwei Jing further:

"So, after five years of not missing a single arrow, your death has finally come! After you have avenged your beloved Kai-senpai, you choose to end your life to atone for your sins... Yes, it's exactly as written in the suicide note!"

Rumbling--

Long Weijing was isolated and helpless inside the house, surrounded by a group of people holding torches.

On the wall outside the house facing the training room,

The brave man, wearing a transparent raincoat and crouching against the wall with his chin supported by one hand, patiently listened to the criminal's words and complained in boredom:

"Huh? I thought it was a shocking feud between two villages, but it turns out it's just because of gambling?? Tsk!"

That's it?
