"What?! Are you the detective hired by my father?"
Ryuubikage looked at the high school student in front of him in shock and confusion.
"Didn't Mr. Ryuubi Shi tell you?" Upon seeing this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
You are also a well-known high school detective after all, right? Chongguoyao also participated in many crackdowns. Why is it that Kudo is not as famous as him... Oh, now it should be said that he is the sleeping Kogoro Mori.
"I have mentioned it before, but... I didn't expect you to be so young."
Ryuubi Jing scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Because I have been preparing for the selection competition at the festival recently, and my father has never told me your name."
"So this is ah."
Hattori Heiji quickly adjusted his mentality and said, "How much do you know about the death of Tatsuo Koji?"
"I was the one who found the body,"
Long Wei Jing said: "A few days ago in the evening, on the way home after practicing Yabusuma, I saw a lot of blood bleeding from his head. His whole body was buried in the soil and he was no longer breathing..."
Hattori Heiji immediately asked: "Then did he leave any pre-death message at the scene? Did you see other suspicious people at the time?"
"No……"
Ryūbi King paused, "But to say it's suspicious... I saw a dead centipede next to Koji's head."
"Centipede?" Hattori Heiji frowned: "What kind of centipede is it?"
"Red-headed centipede."
Long Weijing said: "My father still has photos of the scene. Do you want to take a look?"
Although he was the 'first' to discover the body, since the festival was about to take place, in order to avoid distracting him, the family never mentioned the murder of Koji Tatsuo to him except after cooperating with the police for questioning that day.
Ye Gengyi listened quietly to the side, and based on the contents of Matsumoto Kiyonaga's notepad, he roughly deduce some information.
Kai Gento was a pretty good Yabusame archer, and then he died.
Ryuubikage is also a good Yabusuri horse shooter, and has been doing so for 6 consecutive years. Recently, before the trials for the 7th year began, his younger brother was killed.
And his parents, in order not to affect Ryūbi Kage's mentality, deliberately downplayed the matter... Of course, downplaying it didn't mean they didn't care, otherwise they wouldn't have asked Hattori Heiji to come over to investigate.
…
Along the way, we passed the death scene of Koji Tatsuo.
The bloodstains had long been mixed with the mounds of soil. Except for the cordon, there was not even a single policeman on duty here.
It seems that the evidence has been brought back to the police station...
Hattori Heiji didn't find any valuable clues and could only continue to follow Ryuubi Kage to Ryuubi's house.
When a few people came to visit.
Ryuubi Weishi happened to be walking in the yard.
He was wearing a gray housecoat and a pair of round glasses on his nose. After seeing Ye Genichi, Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye, he did not come up to say hello, but first came to Longweijing Next to him, ask him if he encountered anything today and why he came back so early.
With such an attitude, it was unclear for a moment whether he was caring about his son or the competition at the festival.
"Father, the detective you commissioned is here. We happened to meet near the shooting range..."
Long Wei Jing explained it this way.
Only then did Ryuushi Weishi turn his head and look here. He changed his previous attitude of disregard and hurriedly invited the three people into the house.
Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha introduced themselves. When it came to Ye Gengyi, he simply said, "Heiji and I are friends" and said no more.
Just write the words 'I am very cold' directly on my face.
Ryuubi Mashi didn't seem to pay much attention, and seemed not to be very focused, and continued chatting with Hattori Heiji.
In the yard, Long Wei Jing saw this scene and sighed helplessly. Together with his wife, he turned around and went to the shooting range again.
After walking through the corridor to the living room, and watching Ryuubi Mashi personally make coffee for several people, Hattori Heiji finally couldn't help but whispered:
"This man doesn't treat his son well either."
"Yes." Ye Gengyi nodded without comment, his eyes scanning the furniture and decoration.
The first impression is that there is nothing too valuable in this home, and the overall color tone of the room is not luxurious.
However, since the shoji doors in many rooms were closed, his judgment was limited to the distance from the villa's courtyard to the living room.
Moreover, there is another thing that people are more concerned about, that is, the dragon tail family does not have a stable to keep horses.
A rogue horse shooter who has been in the spotlight for six consecutive years doesn’t have a place to raise horses at home?
Thinking room.
Ryuu Weishi also walked in with coffee.
After taking a seat.
Without waiting for Hattori Heiji to speak.
He took out another photo from the drawer of the coffee table and handed it over directly.
"Oh, this is the photo of the scene where the son was murdered."
Hattori Heiji looked at Koji Tatsuo in the photo, his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly open, and his expression full of pain. After searching for a moment, he found a centipede in the blood on the side of the opponent's head.
"Hiss...this killing method is really weird..."
Weird?
Substituting centipedes for red nematodes with heartworms is almost the same... Ye Geng cursed and looked up at Longwei Shi:
"Are there any other photos?"
"No more... Even this one was taken secretly by me." Long Weiwei Shi said.
"Have the police disclosed to you the progress of the investigation in these days?" Hattori Heiji asked.
"This...their answers are just the same and are still under investigation..."
Tatsuo Wei sighed and said helplessly: "In the past, I often heard Officer Otaki talking about your superb reasoning, so I had no choice but to go to him and ask Detective Hattori... uh, and your friends to come and help. .”
He glanced at Ye Gengyi and then remembered that he seemed to have never asked the young man's identity and name.
Sluggish in reaction and unstable in mood, perhaps this person is not as cold as he appears.
Hmm...just observing...
Ye Geng took a sip of coffee and deliberately ignored the look in his eyes.
Tatsumi was stunned for a moment, and could only continue to say to Hattori Heiji: "Detective Hattori...please find the murderer. My son was killed in such a cruel way, but the police have no clue until now." , this is really... really..."
"Huh?"
Hattori Heiji was startled, "But I heard from Officer Otaki that the identity of the murderer is somewhat known, isn't it?"
"Well, that's just a guess..."
The dragon's tail is the history of Hanhan Lakeland.
Outside the shoji door, an old woman who was nearly 80 years old, with a stooped figure and gray hair walked over. She had a gloomy face covered with wrinkles and said in a very affirmative tone:
"The murderer is at Torada's house!"
