The key to the problem lies with Kudo Shinichi, but this detective boy has inexplicably lost his memory.
Therefore, in order to create a fairly quiet atmosphere for him.
At the suggestion of Police Officer Chengshan, everyone went to Hihara Dashu...that is, the room of the little boy with sword-browed eyes and starry eyes in the village hall.
Ye Gengyi glanced around casually.
The room is very large, estimated to be 4 square meters larger than Yada Makoto's room.
There are many toys piled on the floor, among which the life-size 'Masked Superman' model is the most eye-catching. In addition, the bookshelf is full of comics, and there is not a single tutoring book related to study.
By the way, this child happened to go to a relative's house on the day of the incident a year ago... Ye Gengyi recalled the details and asked:
"Police Officer Shiroyama, what is Hihara Daiki's personality like?"
Officer Chengshan touched the hooked nose that looked very sinister under the light, and what he said was quite reasonable: "The child is usually very well-behaved, uh... If you want to say that during the day, I apologize to you for what happened in the office."
"Oh? So you heard about it too."
Ye Gengyi asked casually, but his eyes never left Officer Chengshan, as if waiting for the other party's next answer.
"Yes, I heard what Dashu said..." Officer Chengshan said without much hesitation: "He is staying at my house now."
"Eh?"
Mouri Kogoro was quite surprised by this and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Police Officer, are you a relative of the Hihara Village Chief?"
"No...I'm not," Officer Chengshan looked confused for a moment, and quickly explained: "After that incident, people in the village were a little worried about Dashu and Makoto, so after discussion, they both stayed with me. 's home."
Hattori Heiji continued the topic and asked: "Did Yada Makoto do anything strange before he disappeared?"
"No," Officer Chengshan shook his head. "He said he wanted to live in the city half a year ago, and then he moved away."
"That's it..."
Hattori Heiji pondered for a moment, "But I still don't understand. Since Yada Makoto was adopted as an adopted son by the village chief, why didn't he change his name to Hihara Makoto?"
"Uh..." Officer Chengshan hesitated.
The girl with short hair saw this and explained:
"It's true that the household registration has been changed to Hihara, but didn't I say it before? Because Makoto has always regarded the village chief as his benefactor, he thought it would be better if others called him Hihara even on weekdays. , it was a bit too high-spirited, so everyone who knew him still called him Yada."
So... when he learned that the idol he admired actually deduced the benefactor who adopted him as a crazed murderer, Kudo Shinichi's bright and majestic image in his heart collapsed?
But the question remains unanswered.
With Yada Makoto's ability and the information he possesses, even if a fan turns negative due to love and hatred, it will not be enough to involve deeper secrets...
Police Officer Chengshan, on the other hand, seems to have been hiding something. But based on the available information...it seems to have nothing to do with Kudo Shinichi's amnesia.
Ye Gengyi tried to connect the information together, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that if Kudo Shinichi, who lost his memory, was really someone else pretending to be him and replacing him, there would actually be a better way to deal with it. .
For example, pretending to have a headache, such as being unconscious...
At least, it shouldn't be like the current attitude, which leads a group of detectives to investigate 'his' old past, as if they feel confident that you can't find anything at all. It's really too arrogant.
Um? Wait... Ye Gengyi suddenly thought of another possibility.
Or maybe his purpose was just for us to investigate?
Thinking about this, many things that originally seemed contradictory suddenly became clear.
Could he be Makoto Yada?
After arriving in the village, the little detective who took the antidote went to the forest cabin alone for an appointment. However, he returned to his original appearance on the way or after meeting.
Then, after disappearing for half a year, Makoto Yata, who actually had plastic surgery to look like Kudo Shinichi with the public face through the inheritance of the village chief, took the opportunity to imprison or kill him. However, he couldn't get his clothes, so he had no choice but to throw himself into the lake naked. , by pretending to have amnesia and sneaking into us, in order to understand whether these friends of Kudo Shinichi, who has long lost trust in his heart, sincerely want to investigate the eucalyptus a year ago.
...In other words, the person who has been monitoring this place in the forest is an accomplice of Makoto Yada?
Well... It takes a lot of courage to make your face look like an enemy, so it is not ruled out that Kudo Shinichi was hired by Yada Makoto with money, and he himself was hiding in the forest.
After all, with the physique of that kid who can kill people wherever he goes, it should be easy for Yada Makoto to find one or two enemies who have no money and want revenge as long as he is willing.
Continuing to analyze his thoughts, he has no communication tools. He is hiding in the room now, probably to send signals to his accomplices outside the window...
It's good to have information.
First, find out their number. If you accidentally see the little detective changing, such a strange scene will spread out sooner or later... It seems that no matter whether the little detective is dead or not, these people can't be kept.
It's really, really troublesome...
Ye Gengyi rubbed his eyebrows, and when he opened his eyes again, his expression returned to the everlasting calm.
…
Everyone did not stay in Rihara Daiki's room for long.
Soon, Kudo Shinichi, who had lost his memory, walked out of Yada Makoto's room with a lonely look on his face.
Hattori Heiji stepped forward to ask about the situation. Seeing that the other party lowered his head and did not respond, he also hurriedly comforted:
"Oh! It doesn't matter if you can't remember, we are still here."
"Ah ha ha ha ha..."
At this time, the female newspaper reporter suddenly burst out laughing, successfully attracting everyone's attention.
"Ms. Hanoi, you..."
"Have you lost your mind and gone crazy?"
Ye Gengyi calmly completed the second half of Officer Chengshan's sentence.
Because of the weather outside, he couldn't use the drone, so he was adjusting the wave frequency of the hidden earphones just now, thinking about capturing footsteps in the forest later. As a result, as soon as he opened all the audio tracks, he was stopped by this old woman. The suicidal laughter shocked him.
"Well……"
Hanoi Shenli was choked up by Ye Gengyi's statement-like inquiry. Before he could get angry, he heard the other party continue:

"Even if we don't consider why you, a reporter, chose to appear in Ousui Village today, as long as you just found out that Kudo Shinichi smiled when he couldn't remember the incident a year ago, the police have reason to investigate you."
"Hey... stop bluffing me." Hanoi Shenli said in a disdainful tone: "If you have to connect me with this case, just bring out the evidence. If you offend me, you may not Be careful to write negative reports about what you came here to investigate."
"Do you have this ability? Ms. Fukasato Hanoi?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Hmph, you can give it a try." Hanoi Shenli was completely uncowardly.
"Oh, then I hope you, a reporter who likes to confuse right and wrong, will first think about how to modify this paragraph into a positive report."
Ye Gengyi took out his mobile phone from his breast pocket and pressed the play button. He saw Hanoi Shenri staring at the camera with a gloomy face on the screen and said with a mocking tone:
[...If you offend me, I may accidentally write a negative report about what you came here to investigate. 】
"You, please delete it for me quickly!" Hanoi Shenli was shocked and was about to grab it.
Ye Gengyi didn't evade but just took half a step back. As he flipped his palm, a black wallet directly replaced the phone.
Kawauchi Shenzai successfully snatched it, but he didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.
Just after hearing the sound of a shutter, Ye Gengyi's voice followed:
"Officer Shiroyama, I want to report something. As you all saw, this lady named Kawauchi Fukasato stole my wallet."
