Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

"I can't explain it." Conan shook his head. "According to Uncle Maori, Torada Shigeji was in the warehouse, anxiously searching for information on treasure hunting, but suddenly, while they weren't paying attention, he left the warehouse alone."

Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes. "Is the information he's looking for that notebook? But how could such an important thing suddenly disappear?"

Conan was shocked: "You mean someone used a notebook to lead him to the cliff?"

He thought of a possibility, and no one except him would suspect that person!

Conan said slowly: "Kitagawa Taki..."

"Kitagawa? What happened to Kitagawa?" Hattori Heiji asked subconsciously.

Conan said his guess: "Yoshiro Torada, Koji Ryuo and Ayaka Ryuo were all killed by Yui Uehara, and the last one, Shigeji Torada, was killed by Taki Kitagawa!"

Hattori Heiji's jaw dropped. He shook his head and said, "How is that possible? What reason did Kitagawa have to kill Torada Shigeji?"

"This is the first time for all of us here. Uncle Maori dragged Beichuan here."

Conan knew this, but his intuition told him that it was like that, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was so.

Forget about Kogoro Mori, but could Shigeji Torada really escape right under Kitagawa Taki's nose?

Coincidentally, Kitagawa Taki was the first person to discover the body.

Hattori Heiji continued, "Besides, it was Kitagawa who proposed 'Wind, Forest, and Fire'. If he wanted to kill someone, why would he specify the direction of the investigation?"

"Kudo, why do you think it was Kitagawa who did it?" Hattori Heiji felt that Conan was a little emotional and lost his calm judgment.

His intuition told him that something must have happened between Conan and Kitagawa Taki.

Conan hesitated for a moment and told what happened last time on Moon Shadow Island.

After listening, Hattori Heiji questioned: "But Kudo, these are just your guesses, there is no evidence."

As a detective, it will never work if you rely solely on guesswork.

Although he really wanted to stand on the same side as his best friend, Conan had no evidence at all.

And as for the Tsukikage Island incident that Conan mentioned, Kitagawa Taki also had no motive for committing the crime.

Conan had no choice but to shake his head helplessly in response to Hattori Heiji's questioning. He didn't want to involve Hattori Heiji in the affairs of the Black Organization.

"Kudo." Hattori Heiji pondered, "Is there some misunderstanding between you and Kitagawa?"

Conan rolled his eyes, "Hey, Hattori, do you think this is why I think Kitagawa Taki is the murderer?"

Xiaolan was taken away by Kitagawa Taki, but he was not hostile towards Kitagawa Taki because of this.

That guy is definitely a hidden criminal!

Hattori Heiji laughed and said, "But this is not like your style."

"Forget it, you'll have to believe it once I find the evidence!"

Conan made up his mind to uncover Kitagawa Taki's mask!

"By the way, Kudo, Kitagawa should know you are Kudo, right?"

"he knows."

Hattori Heiji nodded and said, "Let's go to the cliff and take a look before it rains!"

……

cliff.

Yamato Gansuke looked at the two of them and said, "A police officer just reported to me that they encountered a teenager and a child at the scene of Ryuo Ayaka's death. Are you two the ones involved?"

Hattori Heiji responded and asked, "Officer Yamato, have you found anything?"

Yamato Gansuke said, "There were no suspicious traces at the scene. As for Torada Shigeji's body, it has been burned to charcoal."

Hattori Heiji then asked, "Have you checked the call records between Torada Shigeji and Ryuo Ayaka?"

"Of course I checked, and there's nothing you want." Yamato Ganzhu's eyes narrowed, "Boy, do you suspect that Torada Shigeji didn't commit suicide?"

Hattori Heiji did not answer directly, but asked: "Officer Yamato, how do you think Ryuo Ayaka was killed?"

"He was knocked unconscious and then hanged on horseback. Seven people from the Longwei and Hutian families are suspects."

Ryuo Tameshi, Ryuo Seida, Ryuo Kage, Torada Naotobu, Torada Tatsuei, Torada Shigetsugu, Torada Yui.

The two most suspected people, Tatsuo Kei and Torada Yui, both had alibis when Torada Shigeji was burned to death.

On the other side, Conan wanted to sneak into the scene, but was picked up by a police officer.

"Little boy, this is not the place for you!"

Conan smiled awkwardly. He was unfamiliar with Nagano.

There are no police officers here who will tolerate him.

"Take the little brat and leave here. I will continue investigating this matter!"

After saying this, Yamato Gansuke limped into the scene with a cane.

Helplessly, the two had to return the same way they came.

Hattori Heiji suddenly asked, "Kudo, why do you think the murderer went to such great lengths to use 'Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain' to kill people?"

Conan said absentmindedly: "You want to get involved with Takeda Shingen."

Hattori Heiji added: "The key is why Ryuo Ayaka looked terrified when she heard about Takeda Shingen. Aren't they still digging for treasure?"

Conan stopped. He had indeed overlooked what Hattori Heiji had just mentioned.

He recalled the conversation between everyone at that time in his mind.

"The red armor... That was when Mr. Maori mentioned Takeda Shingen's red armor, and she screamed and ran away!"

Hattori Heiji pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that Kai Gento is wearing red armor?"

Conan nodded: "It's very likely. This would explain why the murderer wore armor to scare Xiaolan and the others."

But this brings the case investigation back to square one.

……

The two returned to the Torada family again.

I ran into Toyama and Ye head-on.

Yuanshan and Ye Wen: "Heiji, why are you two still running around? Isn't the case closed?"

Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes and said, "Idiot, the police haven't reached a conclusion yet, how can it be over?"

"But I heard from Uncle Maori that it was Mr. Hanji who killed three people and then committed suicide." Toyama Kazuha asked in confusion.

Hattori Heiji waved his hand, not wanting to continue discussing the case: "Why are you asking so many questions?"

Yuanshan Heye pouted: "I want to ask if we will go back tomorrow? Xiaolan and the others will go back tomorrow."

"Going back tomorrow?"

Hattori Heiji frowned and said, "I'm going to look for Shimokitagawa."

……

backyard.

Hattori Heiji called Kitagawa Taki aside.

"Beichuan, what do you think of this case?"

Kitagawa Taki asked in return: "Isn't it very clear?"

Hattori Heiji frowned and asked, "Do you really think Torada Shigeji committed suicide?"

Beichuan Taki spread his hands: "To be honest, I suspected others, but I overturned them. They all had alibis."

Hearing what Kitagawa Taki said, Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes and said firmly: "No, there must be something fishy here!"

"Then you continue your investigation. I have other things to do and have to go back to Tokyo tomorrow." Kitagawa Taki shrugged.

After saying that, he said goodbye.

Hattori Heiji looked at Kitagawa Taki's back and shook his head. After all, Kitagawa Taki was not a real detective and did not have the same pursuit of the truth as he and Kudo.
