Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

"It's already dark and you're still going out to practice?"

"Yes, as long as you accurately grasp the target's position, you can hit it even with your eyes closed. This is also the goal of our training..."

Quan Yi looked at the spot where the arrow had missed the target. If the target hadn't shifted, it would have been perfect. It seemed like the training was really about the feel of the hand, which was why some people wanted to disrupt it...

After a pause, Izumi asked, "I heard that Patrolman Kai missed his target once during the previous celebration, is that right?"

"It was during a previous celebration," Long Weijing said angrily. "I investigated afterwards and found that the target had moved during the celebration. It must have been a conspiracy by those guys from the neighboring village. They wanted to embarrass our senior, just like what happened just now!"

Quan Yi saw Long Weijing's performance and gently pressed the notebook on his body.

Six years ago, it seemed that the only ones who had conflicts with Patrol Kai were Ryuo Jing and the people from the next village. Ryuo Jing was the greater suspect, after all, the competition was not over yet.

Section 5.5 of the notes also covers this aspect.

In order to help the exhausted Ryuo Jing win, the four men planned to use fire to scare the horse while Kai was practicing, so that Kai would fall off the horse and get injured. However, they did not expect the horse to be more frightened than expected and ran away wildly. The four men chased after it and found that Kai had fallen off the cliff with the horse.

Of course, six years later, Yoshiro, one of the four, felt that something else seemed to have happened after the horse ran away, and the murderer might be someone else.

Quan Yi was still thinking, and Hattori beside him couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Jing, when you came out to look for Miss Linghua this morning, did you and Mrs. Darong come out together? Does Mrs. Darong have anyone else right away?"

"Well," Long Weijing said in surprise, "because I was in a hurry, I rode my horse straight into the woods... Mrs. Darong should be alone, right?"

.......

Desperate gambler

"Boom!"

In the evening, the weather in the mountains changed again, with rumbling thunder as if it was going to rain at any moment. Officer Yamato's subordinates covered the murder scene with bamboo mats and then ran to Torada's house.

"The police are coming to my house to investigate? They've already been investigating all day. Isn't that enough?"

"Yeah," Torada Tatsuei said dissatisfiedly, "Officer, you're going too far. You actually suspect that we killed Miss Ayaka..."

Facing the accusations of the Torada family, the police officer reluctantly explained, "Because there are still suspicious points, we plan to check every corner carefully again. Moreover, Officer Yamato... said that starting tomorrow, he will bring more than a dozen people from the Identification Department and the search team to live here for investigation. Mr. Hanji is in danger now, isn't he?"

Torada Shigeji was filled with resentment because he couldn't leave. He muttered, "I told you there's nothing wrong with me. Instead of here, why don't you go to the next village and investigate?"

"Of course we have to investigate, but it's too late now, and Officer Yamato still has to go to Longwei's house to check on the situation..."

"How long will the investigation last?" Torada Tatsuei said worriedly, "We don't want to live with the police forever..."

"Officer Yamato said we have to wait until the celebration is over, because the people from the neighboring village might try to disrupt the celebration..."

"Why is this happening?" Mr. and Mrs. Torada were not very happy.

"So you'll be staying for three or four days?"

"It won't take that long," Izumi said, smiling as he took out his notebook after asking Ai about the situation at the Torada family. "I've almost figured out the cause of this series of murders. I'll have a good chat with Officer Yamato tomorrow. I'm sure we'll catch the murderer soon!"

"Ah!" Torada Shigeji exclaimed, "Isn't this the notebook we used for treasure hunting? How did it end up here with you?"

"I just happened to find it when I went there this morning," Izumi said, turning to Torada Shigeji. "Not only does it contain the details of the treasure hunt, but it also contains clues to the murder of Patrolman Kai six years ago. Mr. Shigeji, I also want to talk to you about this tonight."

This fat guy is really too slow. If it were any other time, he would have been killed by the murderer. As for the possibility that the fat guy is the murderer or an accomplice, if that were the case, Longwei Linghua would not have waited until now to be killed.

If the fat guy wants to reap the benefits... then he is really overestimating the fat guy. Quan Yi can see that the fat guy really has not thought about anything other than treasure hunting.

As night fell, after dinner, Quan Yi went straight to live with the fat man Shigeji Torada.

If the murderer is really Torada Eita or someone else in the Torada family, tonight is the only chance to take action. Otherwise, when the police know the contents of the notebook tomorrow, they will definitely re-investigate the incident of six years ago.

This was also his opportunity, because there was not enough evidence in the previous cases, and only by luring the snake out of its hole could he strike a fatal blow.

He wanted to take a gamble, betting that Torada Tatsuei would not wait any longer, and betting that his reasoning was correct.

"Officer Shiro," Shigeji Torada glanced at Izumi, who was sitting quietly opposite him, with an uneasy look on his face. "What's going on? I'm so sleepy..."

"Mr. Hanji," Izumi slowly raised his eyelids, "Do you still remember how your brother and the others died?"

“Remember, remember…”

"Takeda Shingen's battle flag bore four inscriptions: 'Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, swift as fire, immovable as a mountain'... This is part of the ancient Chinese text 'The Art of War'..."

Facing Shigeji Torada's puzzled gaze, Izumi continued to explain.

"Mr. Yoshiro's death in a tornado was an accident, but it certainly corresponds to 'wind.' Mr. Koji, buried in the mound, corresponds to 'mountain.' Miss Ayaka, hanged in the woods, corresponds to 'forest.' That leaves one last element, 'fire.' If the criminal committed the crime according to Takeda Shingen's curse, there must be one final 'fire.'"

"You mean?" Shigeji Torada swallowed.

"That's why I didn't let you go," Izumi put the notebook on the table and turned to the diary of Yoshiro Torada. "Six years ago, Mr. Yoshiro actually heard the gunshot and saw the flash of fire from the muzzle. Recently, he finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore, so he discussed with Mr. Koji about telling the police..."

Torada Shigeji shuddered and widened his eyes. Torada Yoshiro had indeed written in the exchange diary about hearing sounds and flashes of fire. If it was truly confirmed to be gunshots...

"Brother and the others were killed not because of treasure hunting, but because of this?"

"Yeah, the person who had been keeping silent all this time suddenly wants to contact the police. The real murderer must also be planning to silence him. And your brother happened to be in trouble again..."

Quan Yi put away his notebook again.

"The reason I disguised myself as Takeda Shingen and cursed and killed people was that I didn't know who knew about it. However, everyone probably knows the murderer now. It's you four..."

"Excuse me," the door opened a crack, and the shadowy figure of Torada Tatsuei appeared outside with a cold expression, "There are five of us now..."

"Mom?" Torada Shigeji was still immersed in Izumi's reasoning and almost didn't react. "It's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"

"220 It's you, Mrs. Darong."

Izumi held down Torada Shigeji, stood up and walked towards the woman.

"You are the only one who has the chance to kill Miss Linghua..."

"Oh?" Torada Tatsuei laughed unexpectedly, "Why? I was with everyone when Linghua disappeared..."

"You weren't there when we went out to look for people," Quan Yi interrupted. "You deliberately fell behind. You actually put the unconscious Miss Linghua on that black horse. You even covered her with a black coat to avoid being discovered. Then, after you reached the woods, you went alone to where the rope had been prepared and hanged Miss Linghua from behind a tree. The rope was just long enough to reach the back. Afterwards, you deliberately rode your horse behind the tree to obscure the horseshoe prints you had left, making it seem as if you couldn't have committed the crime...

"Of course, Miss Linghua also left a message of death. It's the blue-green eyeshadow left by wiping the corners of her eyes, which refers to the black horse you rode, Aokamo. And the black coat still hanging on a nearby tree has Miss Linghua's scent on it..."

"Clap clap."

Torada Tatsuei clapped his hands expressionlessly. "Amazing! You truly deserve to be called the Tokyo Police God. It's a shame you're only saying this now. Don't you think it's too late?"

Xiao Ai also likes to do sports

The door was completely opened, and in addition to Torada Tatsuei, a group of strangers holding torches also appeared in the courtyard, looking at Quan Yi with a sneer.

Torada Tatsuei chuckled triumphantly, grabbed a double-barreled shotgun from the side, and pointed it into the house: "You guessed right, so can you guess the truth of six years ago? Why did I shoot? To be honest, I just wanted to hurt Kai, so I took the shotgun and shot the horse's leg, but he fell off the cliff..."

"Because of the bet."

"Ok?"

"Mrs. Yui has already told me," Izumi pushed the still-dumb fat man aside, "you set up a bet on the archery competition during the festival, betting on how many out of 10 shots would miss, but Mr. Kai always hit the target. That's why you tampered with the festival and even targeted Patrolman Kai in the subsequent preliminaries. I'm afraid it's Mr. Jing's turn now..."

"That's right," Torada Eita's smile faded. "If we keep hitting the target, then the bet won't work. And we can't keep tampering with the celebration. It would be best if the shooter got injured or died..."

"But I still don't understand," Quan Yi glanced at the muzzle of the hunting rifle, "Why would you even kill your own son?"

"Alright, let's think about any problems on the way. After we're done here, I still have to get rid of that stupid woman who married Yoshiro and sneaked in to solve the cause of her mentor's death..."

"Then I'll keep it for now."

Quan Yi smiled and quickly pulled out a scalpel. "Isn't it strange that the police have all left?"

"what?"

"Bang bang bang!"

Quan Yi crouched slightly, and at that moment he quickly avoided the hunting rifle. He almost turned into a stream of light and flashed through the crowd of villagers. While he destroyed the flames with great force, more than a dozen people screamed and flew backwards.

Although the scalpel was short, it was extremely sharp. Combined with Quan Yi's extraordinary strength, these scattered soldiers were no match for him.

Torada Tatsuei stood there in a daze. When he realized what was happening behind him and wanted to shoot Quan Yi, he found that the hunting rifle had run out of bullets at some point.

"How could that be?"

Torada Tatsuei stared blankly at the villagers lying on the ground in the courtyard and screaming in pain, and as if to vent his anger, he repeatedly pulled the trigger at Izumi who had put away his knife and turned around.

“Ghost… there’s a ghost!!”

Facing the relaxed Izumi Masaru, Torada Tatsuei seemed to see a blood-soaked armored warrior. Although he was holding a scalpel, it looked like a blood-stained samurai sword to her.

It's Takeda Shingen...

Torada Tatsuei screamed and left the villagers behind to run away, but was stopped in the corridor by One-Eyed Yamato Gansuke and Torada Yui and his group.

Torada Naoki's face flushed, his expression quite unpleasant: "How dare you do such a thing?! How dare you? Bastard!!"

Torada Tatsuei collapsed to the ground, no longer possessing his ferocious arrogance, and allowed himself to be subdued by several police officers.

Yamato Gansuke looked at the dejected Torada Tatsuei, then turned his gaze to the villains stumbling around in the yard, and Izumi Yoshi who was standing in the middle of the yard.

Quan Yi nodded and walked straight towards Xiao Ai behind the crowd.

The six-year-long case has finally come to an end, and all the culprits have been caught.

However, there was no expression on Yamato Gansuke's face. For this uncle police officer, it was probably a mixture of relief and pain. After all, because of this case, not only was he injured, but his childhood sweetheart also became a wife. It was really cruel.

……

The dust settled, and the historic mountain village in Nagano Prefecture was completely shattered from its silence. The news of the Torada family spread quickly. On the other side, Hattori, who was responsible for protecting the Tatsuo family, also hurriedly rode the Tatsuo family's car over the mountain, but what he saw was the scene of many dejected criminals being taken away by the police.

These people looked dusty and dusty, and they looked at Quan Yi beside them with some fear, as if they were looking at a ghost.

Hattori's dark face fell.

It seems like Quan Yi solved the case without doing anything...

As the criminals were taken into the police car one by one, Yamato Gansuke was also using a crutch to finish off the gang, and immediately found Torada Naobu, who was still a little bit unable to accept it.

The changes in the Torada family had a huge impact on this powerful old man...

"Let's stop here for today," Yamato Ganzhu said businesslike, "but you must go to the prefectural office as soon as possible tomorrow morning to accept the investigation."

Torada Naoki lost his courage and lowered his head sadly: "Okay..."

Torada Yui, who was standing aside, seemed to have been forgotten. She stood silently beside Izumi Yoshi, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, then turned around with a lost look and wanted to leave.

"Madam," Quan Yi said, "The truth has come out, and it can be considered revenge for my mentor... If no one takes over, I can take care of you..."

"Take, take over?" Yui widened her eyes and looked at Baiquan Yi with a puzzled look.

"By the way," Yamato Gansuke took a few steps and suddenly turned around to look at Torada Yui, "You too, go to the police station when the time comes."

"Ah, yes..."

Torada Yui nodded blankly and watched Yamato Gansuke leave the Torada family.

"What's wrong with those two?" Hattori looked at Yamato Gansuke and Torada Yui in surprise, then walked over to Izumi and complained unhappily, "They didn't even tell me anything and solved everything by themselves..."

Quan Yi laughed and said, "I thought they would send another group to deal with the Longwei family, but they all came here."

"These guys are really weak..."

Hattori watched with regret as all the murderers were taken away, and said by the way: "But there is one thing you must not know. In fact, Mr. Yoshiro and Mr. Hanji are not the sons of Mrs. Tatsuei. Mr. Yoshiro is the son of Torada Naobu's deceased sister, and Mr. Hanji is the son of Torada Naobu's ex-wife..."

"I guess I guessed it," Izumi shook his head slightly. "Torada Tatsuei is not young anymore. No matter what, there is no need for him to join forces with outsiders to kill all his own sons."

"Really? At least we can't be completely sure, right? Some people can do anything for themselves!" Hattori argued unwillingly, and looked at Yamato and Gansuke who seemed to be chatting happily at the door.

It's really rare to see this fierce uncle smile gently, and he rarely smiled before. Mrs. Yui, who looked quite dignified and calm, also became like a little girl.

"You just told that lady that you would take over. You don't really intend to do so, do you?" Hattori asked curiously.

"What does it matter?"

Izumi didn't want to discuss such profound topics as love with Hattori, a straight man, and he probably couldn't explain it to this love idiot either.

With a light sigh, Izumi ignored the idiot Hattori Heiji and took Ai back to the house to rest. He also did some exercise with Ai. When Ai grew up, she also fell in love with doing exercise with Izumi.

A Few Things About Brother Quan Yi and Sister Xiao Ai

There are double standards in love.

No matter how much you lick someone you don't love, it will only annoy you.

Even if a bad man cheats, has affairs with his ex-girlfriend...

In the eyes of those who love him, it is still true love that cannot be given up.

Haibara Ai is no exception.

"The one I love is you."

"the you now."

"The future is you too."
