Mouri Kogoro is here, and Conan will naturally not be absent.
After learning that among the people traveling with the bearded man, in addition to a young woman with horns on her head, there was indeed a child wearing glasses.
Hattori Heiji couldn't hide his joy and smiled excitedly... I really didn't expect Kudo and the others to find the rich young lady's childhood playmate so quickly. Did he come here specifically to meet him?
Uh, that's not right either?
I didn't tell any of them about the commission this time... Could it be that I asked Uncle Otaki and wanted to give myself a surprise, so I didn't call in advance?
Hattori Heiji was still thinking.
Here, Shigeji Torada briefly recalled and said: "That little brother asked many more questions than that detective. When I mentioned that Akying also saw a centipede next to the body, the little brother immediately Rushed out."
So motivated...Ye Gengyi's fish eyes are dead.
But since the goals are the same, it doesn't matter. Letting that boy drag 'Detective Kogoro Mori' around in such a mindless way will definitely stimulate the murderer's sensitive nerves. As expected, as long as there is still room for investigation in the case , the next deceased is about to appear.
Thinking of this, Ye Gengyi continued to maintain his rhythm, looked at Shigeji Torada, and asked: "How much do you know about the cause of death of Kai Gento, who passed away 6 years ago? Did he really die in an accident?"
These calm and oppressive eyes directly forced Shigeji Torada to look away and said in a panic:
"Uh, yes, yes... everyone said he accidentally fell off a cliff while riding a horse..."
A very standard guilty conscience reaction, coupled with the fact that he often carries a shovel in the mountains to find treasures, he also had time to kill and bury Ryuubi Koji like in the photo.
Good luck... Ye Gengyi withdrew his gaze, took out a can of instant coffee from his pocket and took a sip.
Next to him, Hattori Heiji asked, "Is there anyone who knows more about what happened back then?"
"It should be my sister-in-law Yui..."
Shigeji Torada sighed and said, "Because she was the one who found the body back then."
"Where is she now?" Hattori Heiji asked.
"It's in the stable over there. She should be taking care of the horses at this time." Shigeji Torada said.
"Okay, let's go over and take a look!"
Hattori Heiji waved his hand and called the two of them to run in that direction without turning their heads.
Toyama and Ye followed closely behind.
Ye Gengyi stood calmly drinking coffee, with no intention of moving at all.
As the childhood sweethearts completely disappeared around the corner.
Torada Shigeji looked at Ye Gengyi with an unnatural expression, "Um... Mr. Detective, do you have anything else to do?"
Although he had only been in contact with him for a few minutes, he felt that the young man in front of him who didn't talk much was several times more terrifying than his father.
Ye Gengyi waited for more than ten seconds to confirm that Hattori Heiji would not turn back halfway, and then said calmly: "Didn't you notice..."
Torada Shigeji was already a little hairy from being stared at. Hearing this, he immediately controlled his stiff face and squeezed out a smile, and asked:
"What did you find?"
"You have a centipede on your collar."
When Ye Gengyi said this, he also moved his eyes to Shigeji Torada's collar in cooperation, as if there was really something there.
"Eh!?"
Torada Shigeji was horrified, screamed and quickly reached out to pull his collar, shaking his clothes and jumping up and down.
"Climb in, take off your shirt quickly." Ye Gengyi commanded via remote control.
"Whoa whoa--"
Shigeji Torada did it without thinking at all.
Freed from the constraints of the coat, a fat belly covered with stains and skin debris was exposed to the air.
There's no tattoo...so does 'centipede' mean something else?
Ye Gengyi thought about it and waited for Shigeji Torada to finish this dance that he didn't want to appreciate at all, then he casually pointed to the grass beside him and said, "You have already thrown me out."
"Yes, yes..."
Shigeji Torada was still a little shocked. He looked at the shirt he was carrying, but in the end he didn't put it on anymore.
"Are you afraid of centipedes?" Ye Geng adjusted his breathing, his expression was extremely cold, and he looked directly at the other person with his emotionless eyes.
"Uh, no..."
Shigeji Torada was about to deny it subconsciously, but suddenly his heart trembled, and he nodded and said: "Yes, I'm a little scared..."
"What should I do if I encounter one while hunting for treasure in the forest?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"It's not that easy to meet..." Shigeji Torada said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Ye Gengyi nodded slightly and continued: "Even if a centipede accidentally crawls on your clothes, you can take it off as long as someone reminds you."
"Ah?" Shigeji Torada's expression suddenly changed, his mouth opened slightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer the question.
Sure enough, there are companions...
Ye Gengyi understood in his heart, took a few steps forward, and said in a declarative tone: "The friend who hunted for treasure with you is Ryuubi Koji. You found the treasure, and then... you killed him."
"No...it's not me..."
Shigeji Torada sat down on the ground, held his head and shouted in a trembling voice: "It's a curse. It was a curse that killed Koji!"
Um? curse? The 'Black Leather Electronic Card' is effective, why don't I feel it...
Ye Geng was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask further. At this moment, he heard the sound of a shoji door being opened in a room not far away.
……Pity.
He calmed down his momentum and looked sideways.
Torada Tatsuei was still wearing the same kimono he had met yesterday.
"It's so noisy early in the morning, Fanci, why are you sitting on the ground!"
She looked at Ye Gengyi again, grinned her lips with a smile, and pretended to be surprised: "Huh? This gentleman seems to have been here yesterday..."
"You remembered it wrong." Ye Gengyi looked back.
"ah?"
Torada Tatsuei didn't expect this answer at all. He said 'Ah' in confusion and said: "...What?"
"I didn't enter your yard yesterday. I can't say that I have been here. I can only say that I was passing by."
After explaining this sentence, Ye Gengyi nodded slightly to the mother and son, turned around and walked towards the stable.
"..."
The words Torada Tatsuei was about to use were stuck in his throat, and his face was full of uncertainty.
Until Ye Gengyi walked away completely, she snorted coldly, glanced at Shigeji Torada who was still sitting on the ground, turned around and returned to the room.
"hiss……"
Shigeji Torada shivered. He didn't know whether it was because he took off his shirt in the cold weather or for other reasons. Finally, after getting up from the ground, he looked at the stained clothes and muttered, "It's time to take a shower." ’, he was silent for a moment and then let out a long sigh.
