Everyone had breakfast.
Ye Gengyi found Muto Yuehiko and bought some wood carving logs.
"Are you preparing to carve?" Takehiko Muto wanted to watch from the sidelines.
Speaking of which, he did not seriously observe Mr. Ye's carving skills as a small species in the back mountain.
Ye Gengyi shook his head slightly and refused: "I have other things to be busy with. Let's talk about the carving later."
"Okay..." Takehiko Muto felt a little regretful.
Carrying the purchased wood carving logs, Ye Gengyi returned to the private room again.
Early in the morning.
He sneaks into the rooms of Yamao Keisuke and Hikawa Shogo to collect clues.
Although no bombs or other dangerous weapons except stun guns were found, on the other side of Hikawa Shogo's newspaper where Yamao Keisuke surrendered after a hit-and-run accident, he saw a larger piece of news.
"Gem Shop Robbery and Murder Case"
On the night of December 15th, around 11 o'clock.
The Mirei jewelry store located in Yaoi-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo was broken into and robbed by unknown persons. The owner, Mirei Eiko, who was working overtime in the store to check the accounts at the time, was killed by the gangster with a sharp knife. Jewelry with a market value of about 1 billion yen was also lost in the store. .
The two are connected, and coincidentally it is the 16th of the same month, which is the early morning hours after the jewelry store was robbed.
Yamao Keisuke, who originally lived in Tokyo, returned to Kitanosawa Village and drove and killed Harano Mizuki's sister on the road. After the hit-and-run, he ran to the police and surrendered.
but……
This is just one of the guesses.
After all, based on this newspaper alone, he could not be sure whether the case of that year had been solved, so he could just take advantage of the break after breakfast to call the Metropolitan Police Department to look through the files of that year and leave it to the two suspects. The opportunity for people to do something to find out their purpose of coming to Beizhisawa Village at this time.

Not long after, the police officer's questioning voice came from the receiver, "Huh? Bro, Genichi, you said you want the investigation files on the robbery of Meiling Jewelry Store in Yaoi-cho, Shinjuku District 8 years ago?"
Ye Gengyi said: "Yes, I want to know if the robber has been caught, and if the stolen jewelry has been recovered in the end."
"It's okay to check this, but..."
Mumu Shisan paused and said with a hint of resentment: "Brother Gengyi, didn't you go skiing with Brother Maori? Could it be that... you encountered another case?"
"Police Department, if you have this idea, you can ask for leave and come together next time you find a chance."
Ye Gengyi's fish eyes... If a murder happens, even the step of calling the police can be omitted.
"Cough cough cough...I didn't mean that...that's what..."
Megure Thirteen was choked, and then said: "Because all our people here have gone to protect Mayor Asakura, if you want to investigate the files from eight years ago, it may take some time. Brother Gengyi, you What happened over there?”
Ye Gengji elaborated on some of the facts and said:
"I met several suspicious persons. The specific circumstances are not yet certain, so just to be on the safe side... Police Department, if you have any results over there, just send me an email and let me know."
"Oh, okay. I understand." Hearing this, Mu Mu Thirteen didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions.
After the call ends.
Ye Gengyi searched the Internet again for the jewelry robbery case 8 years ago.
It's a pity that in that era when self-media was not developed, there were almost no useful clues.
Take your time... Ye Geng just had an idea.
The next second, the phone tried to ring again.
The number displayed on the screen was Haihara Ai.
"It won't happen again..."
Ye Gengyi muttered silently to himself, got up and walked out the door, while answering the phone: "Hello?"
Haibara Ai said: "Brother Genichi, come to the clinic opposite the hotel. A child here who has been sleeping for 8 years has woken up. He seems to be Tachihara Fuyumi's son... The same people from yesterday also came here. "
It was 8 years ago again, and this clue is not wrong at all...
Ye Geng said softly, "Yes."
…
Wear a thick coat.
As soon as Ye Geng came here, he looked through the half-open window of the clinic and saw Tachihara Fuyumi holding a confused young man and crying softly.
Conan, Haibara Ai and the three children of the Young Detective Team have been taken away from the courtyard by Moori Kogoro and Dr. Agasa who came here in advance.
I briefly understood the situation.
After learning that the sound of the five of them having a snowball fight outside attracted the boy, he woke up the unconscious teenager.
The conservative Takehiko Muto, who was standing aside, once again couldn't help but complained in a low voice: "It's been 8 years... It's been a full 8 years. If everyone doesn't move out of the village, let us be like other places, every day You can hear the children’s laughter, maybe Dongma has woken up already!”
"Uncle Muto, why was Touma unconscious for so long?" Conan asked.
"He had an accident and fell from the cliff near the old village in the early morning eight years ago."
Takehiko Muto said: "Touma had lost consciousness when he was discovered. Although he was sent to the hospital for treatment and luckily saved his life, he has never woken up since then..."
"It was 8 years ago again." Mouri Kogoro murmured in a low voice.
Takehiko Muto said angrily: "Besides, that day happened to be the day of Yamao's hit-and-run accident!"
"Huh?"
Conan Music captured some details and quickly confirmed: "Is it really the same day?"
"That's right, a village that was originally leisurely and peaceful actually had two unfortunate accidents on the same day." Takehiko Muto took a deep breath, "The village was in an uproar at that time, and many people thought that this was an agreement to relocate. The punishment caused by the ancestral land..."
Could this be the reason why you have been unwilling to settle in a new village?
Conan couldn't help but curse... As a detective, he didn't believe in these gods and ghosts at all.
"Is this child's fall from the cliff an accident or man-made thing?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"According to the police investigation, it was finally confirmed to be an accident..."
Takehiko Muto explained: "Because the lake near the cliff can just see the swans that Touma likes. When I found the child, he still had a telescope hanging around his neck, so it is speculated that he accidentally slipped and fell."
You can see swans... Ye Gengyi asked: "Is it Lake Sawajiri?"
"Yes, that's right there." Takehiko Muto nodded to confirm.
"The nearby cliff is quite a distance from the village..." Ye Gengyi looked in the direction behind him, "Even in the early morning, few people would pass by there, right?"
Takehiko Muto explained: "The first person to discover Touma was the puppy he had always loved, and the subsequent rescuers were also taken there by him."
"Huh? The rescuers..." Conan wondered, "Aren't they Dongma's parents?"
"Because Fuyumi is an unwed mother, she happened to be on duty at the hospital at the foot of the mountain when the accident happened." Takehiko Muto said.
I gave birth to a child out of wedlock, and even raised him until he was 15 years old after Touma Tachihara unfortunately turned into a vegetative state at the age of 7... If he hadn't been miraculously awakened today, he would probably have continued to take care of him like this...
Thinking of this, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but ask: "What about Touma's grandparents?"
"This... they have passed away. They were killed in an avalanche."
Takehiko Muto sounded a little helpless, "It took more than 30 minutes after the avalanche occurred for the rescuers to find the place where the two people were buried..."
He looked at the ambulance arriving from the foot of the mountain and sighed, "The doctor said that if he could have been rescued 15 minutes earlier, he might have been able to save the person. After all, the golden rescue time after an avalanche is only 15 minutes."
"15 minutes... feels so short." The three children thought thoughtfully.
"There is no way, in front of nature, 15 minutes is enough to decide life or death."
Mouri Kogoro followed the topic and educated him: "So...you guys know how dangerous it is to sneak out at night!"
"Yes...we will never do it again."
The three people seeking death made an oath that was as discreditable as a little detective.
