"Ah? How do you know?"
The young lady was stunned for a moment after hearing Conan's words, and then replied with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Nagakura's family did move once."
"When was it?" Conan asked again, "What is the current location of Mr. Nagakura's house?"
The young lady held her chin with one hand and replied thoughtfully: "I remember, about half a month ago, after Mr. Nagakura came back from Tokyo for an interview. As for what it turned out to be... it seemed to be the Otozawa family's house... …”
When the young lady said this, she paused slightly and said, "I heard from people in the village that Mr. Nagakura moved away from Onizawa Township for a long time because the location of his home was a bit remote and was not conducive to attracting tourists. The Otozawa family has changed places. However, Mr. Otozawa also requested that it is okay to move, but the house must be moved together, and the things in the house must not be moved, everything must remain the same..."
"Uh... even change the house?" Xiaolan and Uncle Maoli were confused when they heard this——
By the way, it's understandable that the two families would swap places, but what the hell is that even changing the house?
Is it the kind of moving the house to another place that they understand?
Why does this sound like a myth?
The young lady seemed to notice Xiaolan and Uncle Maori's doubts, and smiled slightly and explained: "...because our village is made of ancient wooden structures, the houses can be dismantled and built very quickly, just like building blocks. In the past, the village When people here move, they often dismantle the house and build it somewhere else, which is very convenient!"
"The swap between the Nagakura family and the Otozawa family sounds like a lot of trouble, but in fact it only took less than ten days, and most of that time was spent cleaning up the house..."
"How about it? It sounds incredible, right?"
"Uh...there is indeed a bit..." Xiaolan and Uncle Maori laughed dryly, while Conan pointed to the map in the travel brochure with his little finger and asked cutely, "Then...sister, can you tell us, Nagakura Where was your husband's home originally?"
"Of course, no problem." The young lady took the travel brochure and marked it on the map. "It's right here!"
"Thank you so much!"
Conan took the travel brochure again, turned to look at Xiaolan and Uncle Maori, and said with his signature bad boy smile:
"Sister Xiaolan, Uncle Maori, let's go back to Onizawa Township quickly! If my reasoning is correct, those things are right here!"
At the same time, in a restaurant in Onizawa Township.
Shokichi Sakaki was holding a bowl of Ryusuke noodles, smiling with squinting eyes, looking like a good old man, chatting with several villagers from Onisawa Township, "In other words, has Mr. Nagakura's family changed places?"
"That's right! That's right!" A gray-haired but energetic old man replied, "I remember it started half a month ago, and it was just changed a few days ago. It seems to have been changed with the Otozawa family."
"It's the Yize family. I went to help before." Another villager also said, and then sighed, "Come to think of it, it has been more than ten years since the Yize family moved away, right?"
"I remember it was seventeen years ago." Another villager joked, "Not long after his daughter Asami accidentally drowned, they moved away. I heard from Mr. Nagakura that the Otozawa family asked him to change the house. Everything inside needs to be kept as it is, maybe you want to commemorate Asami, right?”
When Sakaki Shokichi heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Then where is Mr. Nagakura's house?"
"The original place of the Nagakura family..." A villager said with a slight smile, "Are you a guest of the Nagakura family's B&B? You can walk from here to the Nagakura family's house first, and then walk all the way south. You can get there in about ten minutes. I saw it..."
"Thank you so much." Shokichi Sakaki thanked him. At this time, another villager asked: .z.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Nagakura, why do you want to move?"
"Well... because he is the backbone of promoting the village to become a world cultural heritage. After his home was converted into a B&B, the location was too remote and difficult for tourists to find, so he changed it to Otozawa's house - after all
Yize is in a good location, it's in the center. "
"If you ask me, maybe it has something to do with his son Eiji. With his son gone, it wouldn't be surprising if he moved to another place."
"That's right. But I really didn't expect Eiji to do something like that..."
Several villagers were talking and went off topic, while Sakaki Shokichi finished the dragon's beard noodles in several bites, stood up and walked out of the restaurant. Then the good man's expression disappeared, and his eyes became fierce and sinister:
"Did they change places? It made me search all this time... Now, let's go to the B&B first..."
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Sakaki Shokichi's mouth, and he walked towards the Nagakura family's B&B.
It’s past twelve o’clock in the afternoon, Guize Township.
In the Nagakura family's B&B, in the lobby on the first floor, the dining table is already filled with food.
Mie Kojima looked at the food on the table and said to Mr. Nagakura: "Mrs. Nagakura, this lunch is so rich. You must have started preparing it very early, right? I really caused you trouble..."
After Mie Kojima finished speaking, Mr. Nagakura smiled and said politely: "It's not troublesome at all, it's just commonplace meals. Besides, Mr. Kojima and my husband are good friends, and I'm invited here again this time. Of course we will treat you warmly if you help solve the problem..."
"You don't have to be so polite. Considering the friendship between Yuanji and Mr. Nagakura, this is what it should be." Kojima Mie said with a smile.
The hostesses of the two families were polite to each other, and Motoji Kojima and Yankura Yan also chatted about some things. The little devils stared at the food on the table and drooled: "I have been running all morning, and now I am so hungry. Okay. I want to eat it now..."
"But the adults said that we can't start until Brother Yunwen comes back." Yuantai looked frustrated.
Bumi also touched her belly and said, "I'm very hungry too. When will Brother Yunwen come back? It won't take long!"
The little gangsters of the Teenage Death Group were muttering, while the little Lolita the Snow Girl had already secretly stretched out her little hand, grabbed a handful of peanuts from the appetizer in front of her, and ate them happily. After eating, she wanted to grab some more, but the Lolita Ai clapped her hands:
"Don't catch me again! It's rude!"
The Snow Girl loli flattened her mouth and almost cried. Loli Ai immediately handed over a bottle of Feizhai Happy Water and a bag of potato chips, interrupted the spell and said: "Drink this first."
"Oh!" The snow girl's tears stopped instantly. Her requirements were not high, as long as she had food and drink.
After taking the Feizhai Happy Water, Snow Girl grabbed it hard with her little hand. The cold air soaked in the Happy Water, and the Happy Water had turned into ice. Then she took a nice sip, her eyes shining——
Bing Kuo Luo tastes really good! If only there was fried chicken!
The snow girl was satisfied, while Loli'ai looked up at her watch and said to Kojima Mie next to her: "Auntie Mie, I want to go to the toilet."
"Okay, Xiao Ai."
Kojima Mie smiled and nodded, while Loli Ai walked up the stairs and returned to the guest room on the second floor.
After closing the door, Loli'ai glanced at the duffel bag and said softly: "I remember that the camera's spare battery was placed in the camera bag..."
Loli murmured, took out her camera bag, and started looking for it...
Jingjin Village, in a driving taxi.
Uncle Maori looked at Conan sideways and asked with an unhappy look on his face: "Really, kid, why do we have to return to Onizawa Township now? I originally wanted to taste the special wine of Shojin Village!~"
After Uncle Maori finished speaking, Conan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Maori, didn't I tell you before? That's because I have already guessed where those things are."
After Conan finished speaking, Xiaolan immediately asked, "That's right! Conan, what are those things you mentioned?"
"Of course..." Conan paused and said with a smile, "...it's the jewelry that was stolen from the jewelry store!~"
"Ah? The jewels that were stolen?" Xiaolan and Uncle Maoli were shocked. "Do you know where those jewels are?"
"That's right! Those jewels are hidden
In the attic of Yi Ze's house! "
Conan replied with a proud expression, and Uncle Maori asked: "Kid, you are so sure, do you have any evidence?"
"There is no evidence, it's just reasoning!~" Conan smiled slightly, and then explained, "First of all, we have to start with the weird thing about the jewelry appraiser, that is, after he was kidnapped, he was already free. But he didn’t go to the police to explain the situation. This is completely inconsistent with the psychology of a victim, unless... he is not a victim at all!"
After Conan finished speaking, Xiaolan said "Ah!" and said in surprise: "Not a victim? Then he is..."
"...He should be an accomplice of this jewelry robbery, or even the real messenger!" Conan answered affirmatively, and Uncle Maori also said seriously at this time:
"You little devil, you are right. I also thought of this after seeing the photos given by the jewelry store before. However, I am not as arbitrary as you. You know, I didn't dare to ask for help because I was threatened by the perpetrator. There are many cases where the police explain the situation, and I have encountered it many times..."
After Uncle Maori finished speaking, Conan slowly added: "Uncle Maori, those who dare not explain the situation to the police do so because the perpetrator is still there and they are worried about revenge? But Nagakura, the prisoner in this case, Eiji has already committed suicide, so what does he have to worry about?"
"Uh... That's true..." Uncle Maori smiled dryly and scratched his head, while Conan continued: "Assuming that he is an accomplice, then everything makes sense. Even, even he yesterday The matter of rummaging around in the attic of the B&B at night can be explained."
After Conan finished speaking, Xiaolan asked in surprise: "What? The person in the attic last night was Sakaki Shokichi?"
"Yes, that's him!" Conan nodded, "In my opinion, Nagakura Eiji and Sakaki Shokichi should have cooperated in the case. After the crime was completed, Nagakura Eiji hid the jewelry and put it away. Part of the location information of the hidden things was shared with Sakaki Shokichi, and we agreed to come back to pick up the jewelry after the incident calmed down."
"...Next, Eiji Nagakura died. Relying on the clues left by Eiji Nagakura, Sakaki Shokichi found the Nagakura family and wanted to retrieve the jewelry. However, he never expected that the Nagakura family He actually exchanged it with the Otozawa family. He searched the entire attic and couldn't find the jewelry..."
After Conan finished speaking, Uncle Mouri couldn't help but said: "Kid, has Sakaki Shokichi found the jewelry? What does it have to do with the exchange between the Nagakura family and the Otozawa family? Isn't it right for him to just find the Nagakura family? In my opinion , those jewels must have been discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Nagakura and then secretly hidden, so Sakaki Shokichi didn’t find them!”
Listening to what Uncle Maori said, Conan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Maori is right! But what if the clue Mr. Sakaki got was actually a map?"
As Conan spoke, he took out the travel brochure that had been marked by the girl who promoted tourism. The marks on it were extremely conspicuous.
Looking at the map, Xiaolan said "Ah" after a moment: "I understand! What Mr. Sakaki got was a marked map. He found the Nagakura house according to the map, but he didn't expect The Nagakura family and the Otozawa family were exchanged! So the real place where the jewelry is hidden should be the Otozawa family that was originally built here!"
After Xiaolan finished speaking, Conan smiled and nodded: "Yes! It's the Yize family! I remember the sister just said that the Yize family has moved away from Guize Township for a long time. A house that has been unoccupied for a long time, isn't it? Best place to hide something?"
"Uh...that's right." Uncle Maori nodded in agreement, but then looked at Conan and said
"But you're a pretty good little kid! You can deduce such a complicated case. Now I'm wondering whether you are a little kid after all!"
After Uncle Maori finished speaking, Xiaolan also looked at Conan suspiciously. After Conan said "uh", he sweated profusely and said: "What...Actually, actually, I sent a text message to ask Brother Shinichi before! Shinichi! After Brother No. 1 heard me tell all the circumstances, he reasoned out the results. I just read according to his text message..."
"Oh? So that's it!" Xiaolan was stunned when she heard this, "So you asked Shinichi for help again."
Uncle Maori snorted softly, then rubbed Conan's head vigorously and said, "You are such a brat, if I hadn't asked this question, would you have taken all the credit to yourself? "
"Uh...hehehe..." Conan smiled awkwardly——
Damn it! Do I still need to take credit? I am Kudo Shinichi, okay?
Conan complained in his heart, and then continued: "By the way, brother Shinichi also said that let's go to Otozawa's house quickly to see if the jewelry is still there - after all, Mr. Shokichi Sakaki must be in a hurry right now. He’s like a headless fly, searching around the village to find out what’s going on!”
"If he knew that the Nagakura family and the Otozawa family had exchanged places, he would definitely run to the Otozawa family immediately and take away the jewelry!"
