During the conversation, the three people arrived in front of the Hutian family's villa.
Different from the modern style of the Longwei family, this two-story building is still decorated with retro wooden panels.
Approaching the open courtyard door, you can not only see several decorative pine trees planted inside, but also smell the unique pungent odor originating from the stables in the air.
If you look carefully, you can also see some footprints and shiny balls on the ground beside the stone road.
"Even if you don't look at the house number, the Torada family must be right here."
Hattori Heiji said this half-jokingly, and was about to confirm the details with Ye Gengyi again. For example, if the Torada family members are easy to talk to, should they take the initiative to tell each other their identities? This may win a good impression and facilitate the follow-up. investigation……
As a result, Ye Gengyi was seen tilting his head towards him, but looking beyond where he was standing, staring calmly at the woods on the other side.
"Huh? Who is..." Hattori Heiji's reaction was half a beat too slow. When he looked over,
I only saw a thin woman wearing a kimono and wooden geta walking slowly in the shadow of the woods that was not illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun.
Both sides looked at each other.
The woman paused for a moment, stepped forward, and asked doubtfully: "Are you..."
Her voice is neutral, and paired with her hanging eyes, it intuitively gives people a gloomy feeling.
The other party is very difficult to contact... Hattori Heiji subconsciously made this judgment and said:
"Excuse me, is Mr. Naonobu Torada at home?"
"..."
The woman did not respond immediately, but looked at the three of them for a moment and said, "What do you want from him?"
"Ah, no... Actually, we have something we want to see Mr. Shigeji."
Hattori Heiji pretended not to understand what the other party meant, and deliberately avoided the question to delay time.
However, before he could test how the woman in front of him would react, the sound of horse hooves could be heard behind him.
Ryuubi Kei and Ryuubi Ayaka rode on the same horse and arrived in front of everyone in a short while.
"Aunt Darong."
Tatsuo Ayaka said hello to the woman in kimono. Tatsuo Kei didn't say anything, he just looked over there, got off his horse and stood to the side consciously.
Seeing this, Hattori Heiji lowered his voice and said helplessly: "Brother Saraichi, we seem to be late..."
Under the current circumstances, it was impossible for them not to talk to the young couple from the Tatsumi family.
I can no longer hide my identity as a detective.
Although after contacting him, he knew that it would be difficult to extract useful information from the woman named Darong in a short period of time, but looking at Long Wei Jing's "good boy" look, it was obvious that he was "borrowing words from others" "Short", they... shouldn't have come here in vain, right?
I will tell you, because it is inconvenient for me to launch the drone when I am with you, just in case of emergency, did I come here specially to record the route...

Over there, Ryuubi Ayaka was holding the reins and chatting with Torada Tatsuei.
After learning that Hattori Heiji was actually a detective, she once again cast a scrutinizing gaze towards this side. After a slight hesitation, she said:
"Manji went to the mountains and is not at home."
"When does he usually come back?" Hattori Heiji asked immediately.
Are you too embarrassed to say anything when the plan doesn't go smoothly? It doesn't exist. How can you be a detective if you are so thin-skinned!
Torada Tatsuei shook his head, "I don't know... maybe I'm extremely disappointed. My husband said, let's not worry about Fanci's affairs."
After saying that, she ignored the others and walked towards the stable with Tatsuo Ayaka.
"Hey, please wait a moment..."
Hattori Heiji wanted to ask a few more questions, but was stopped by Ryuubi Kei, who whispered:
"It's better to come back tomorrow morning. Fanci usually stays at home and sleeps at that time."
"……All right."
Hattori Heiji half-mooned, thinking that if Kazuha was still here, even if he didn't go to the mountains to find someone at the moment, he would definitely stay here and wait for Shigeji Torada to come back!
Ryuubi Ayaka returns the horse.
A group of five people returned to Longwei's house together.
At this time, by the window in the corridor of Torada's house, a pot-bellied, bald middle-aged man coughed lightly, turned his eyes away and looked at Tatsuei Torada beside him, and asked:
"What are they doing here?"
The middle-aged man is Naobubu Torada, the head of the Torada family. Naturally, this "them" does not refer to the Ryuubi couple who came to return the flattery, but to Ye Genichi, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.
Torada Tatsuei said: "The Ryuubi family's daughter-in-law said that they are the detectives Ryuubi asked to investigate the cause of Ryuubi Koji's death and his friends..."
"It turned out to be a detective."
Torada said directly to Digu: "No wonder the "old man" from the Ryuubi family I met yesterday actually yelled at me that the end of the Torada family was coming..."
He paused and asked, "What's that detective's name?"
Torada Tatsuei shook his head: "I just said he is a very powerful detective from Osaka."
"Hmph, you are still on guard against us after all."
Torada Naobu looked a little unhappy.
As long as you know the name, you can quickly investigate the other party's background. Otherwise, assuming that the detective is specially brought by the Tatsumi family to slander them, and then come up with some false evidence, you will be passive...
Torada Naobu thought for a moment:
"Otherwise, let's find a detective too!"
"This..." Torada Tatsuei hesitated, "Is this necessary?"
"of course!"
Toranobu's frowned brows stood up like willow leaves, "The Ryuubi family are really crazy. Since their son's death must be blamed on our family, then I might as well hire a famous detective." Can't you just come here and arm-wrestle with them? If you dare to falsely accuse us, you will just shoot yourself in the foot!"
"..."
Hearing this sentence, Torada Darei's eyes narrowed into slits, and there was no expression on his silent face. After a few seconds, he asked:
"...Who are you planning to find?"
"Of course it's the famous detective - Mouri Kogoro!" Torada Naobu said.
