After leaving the office, the group took a bus to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Ye Gengyi dialed Dr. A Li's home phone number and told him that he was going to Nagano Prefecture tonight.
but……
In the afternoon, I had just thought about coming here to have fun with the incident, and the incident came to my door. I really don't know whether to say that I am lucky, or that I am too metaphysical.
Ye Gengyi moved his cervical vertebrae slightly.
With nanorobots as auxiliary treatment, in fact, even if he went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, no problems could be found in the body's muscles and nerve tissues, but he would still feel uncomfortable.
...If it were in the past, I would probably only think it was a psychological effect. Now...it would be better to collect more data.
the other side. Mouri Kogoro's self-esteem was hurt when the wife of the client under investigation for his extramarital affair almost died. The feeling of assisting the police in solving a major and important case is naturally quite urgent.
However, no matter how he asked, Yamato Kansuke used the excuse of "not wanting to instill preconceived information and affect the reasoning" and only revealed that the destination was a villa called "Hope House" and that he was there three years ago. After the tragic death of a female body was found in the mansion's warehouse, the villa was renamed the 'Pavilion of Death'.
I don’t know if it’s a bad taste of the rich, but this villa is also built in a deep mountain and old forest.
Starting from Miwa Town, eating and traveling, it took a total of more than 2 hours to reach the foot of the mountain.
A very remote place... Ye Gengyi gave a fairly fair evaluation.
There is no concrete or asphalt road ahead.
The car drove into the lush forest and bumped along the winding and rugged mountain road for a while, and finally saw the villa quietly hidden in the night.
A group of people got out of the car.
Conan also found an opportunity and asked Yui Uehara, who had been acting as the driver, why Yamato Gansuke thought of coming to Miwa Town to seek help from them this time.
He clearly remembered that during the Fenglinhuoshan incident last time, this criminal policeman with a rather sharp style was quite independent...
It’s not like he was hit once by Brother Gengyi and lost his temper, right?
If that were the case, he would definitely condemn someone severely.
Well... psychological condemnation.
Uehara Yui chuckled and explained:
"Because there is a person who is willing to die and does not want to lose, and he also participated in the search of this case."
search?
Conan caught this keyword and curiously asked: "Eh? Is that person also a detective?"
"Yes, but he is not a detective from our Nagano Prefecture Police Headquarters. He is affiliated with the Shinno Bureau that has jurisdiction over this area." Yui Uehara said.
The criminal police in the jurisdiction?
Conan was startled.
For example, it is equivalent to sending Takagi Wataru here. If the local director has no spine, he can shamelessly call his subordinate unit "leader".
Comparing the two parties, for a more intuitive description, I still use Takagi Wataru as an example.
Just like one day, Mumu Shisan received a call from the police and brought a team to the scene of the murder. Suddenly, Takagi Wataru appeared in a menacing manner. Not only did he disobey the order, but he began to fight for the right to handle the case...
Conan wondered: "This...since it is a case to be investigated by the headquarters, the subordinate units should actively cooperate, right? How can there be a competitive relationship?"
"Actually, that person has been A Gan's classmate since elementary school. No matter what, the two of them will compete with each other, and oh..."
Uehara Yui lowered her voice and gossiped: "Agan's friend graduated first in Toto University's law department, but he has a very strange temper. He had so many choices, but he just threw himself into the Nagano Prefecture police. This department starts with a grassroots criminal police officer, well, something happened later and he was transferred to the New Field Department."
"So, he was originally your colleague." Conan asked.
"Yes. And his name is the same as A Gan, very much like a military advisor..."
Yui Uehara worked hard.
the other side.
Yamato Gansuke had glanced in this direction several times. Although he didn't know what the two of them were whispering, the repeated words of 'Agan' still made him quite concerned.
Yamato Kansuke couldn't help but said:
"Hey! Uehara, stop dawdling there."
"Ah, yes."
Yui Uehara was a little unhappy. Before chasing after him, he added quietly:
"Because Agan has never defeated that person, so once two people meet, it's impossible to keep calm. This time... I always feel that he went to Mihua Town not to find Detective Maori, but because you still have Expert Ye. In short, please help him."
"Ah? Me..." Conan was startled.
Before she could say anything else, Uehara Yui had already ran away.
…
The lights were on in the villa that had been renamed from 'Hope' to 'Death'.
There was a police car parked in the open space outside, and two uniformed police officers stood on the left and right outside the door, as if guarding the scene.
Judging from the attitude, it is obviously not possible for the case three years ago...
I thought so, but after seeing this behind the scenes.
Ye Gengyi still searched for information on the 'Pavilion of Hope' and 'Pavilion of Death' on the Internet.
Although the identity of the woman who died tragically inside three years ago was not found, a news report related to this villa was found.
The origin of the name 'House of Hope' is explained above.
It is said that the rich man who funded the construction of this villa felt that the residence was a bit old after living here for some years, so he simply selected some young people with talent but no money and let them live here for free until it came true. Until their dreams.
Seeing this, Ye Gengyi asked:
"The transportation is so inconvenient, is there anyone living in the villa?"
"Not now. In fact, transportation in this place used to be quite convenient."
Yamato Gansuke said: "There used to be a bus stop next to the villa. Unfortunately, after it became the 'Pavilion of Death', no passengers were willing to come to this place, and it was demolished over time..."
"The people who live here, including this villa, are sponsored by a wealthy man. The old man died of illness many years ago. Without the supply of property, the residents have also moved out of this place one after another."
Yui Uehara briefly recalled and added: "It seems...only 5 or 6 years ago, there was a married couple who still stayed."
A group of young people who are supported by others and have dreams...
If you still have that spirit and inherit the legacy of the old rich man, you should move away from this place once you have achieved academic success. The funding has stopped long ago. This... also means that this case will most likely not be solved. Money related.
Moreover, Yamato Gansuke also revealed that the area where the bus station was demolished has by default not been classified as a Feng Shui treasure land. If the economic value is not high, it will not involve conflicts caused by tourism and demolition...
Also, since there is a couple living here.
So... it was my wife who died here three years ago? And my husband has been cold recently?
Hmm... maybe he's not dead yet, just missing or something...
Based on the only information, Ye Gengyi made a fairly reliable inference in his mind.
Yamato Gansuke took a file bag from the police officer, led everyone into the house, and handed the stuff to Ye Gengyi:
"These are the photos of the six people who once lived in this villa."
Conan, Mouri Kogoro and Mouri Lan came over to watch.
As Ye Geng turned out one by one.
Yamato Kansuke also introduced them one by one.
The one with messy hair, round glasses and sharp eyes is the illustrator Shusaku Akashi;
The one with a mustache and gloomy eyebrows is the actor Suikawa Naoki;
The one with medium hair and a beauty mark under her left eye is Aoi Iakobashi;
Next, there is Shoji Yamabuki, a fashion designer with a wild look and unusual attire;
And Takuto Momose, a computer graphic designer with a beard and a peaked cap who has no ability.
And Naoki Shiro, the last music producer to dye his hair blond.
