"No, I came to live here in the first place because the apartment I lived in was burned down and I couldn't find a suitable place to live. It happened that I met Mr. Chi and the Young Detective Team during that incident..." Okiya Subaru looked for Conan and found Conan coming out from behind the dining table and approaching without saying a word. He was stunned for a moment before continuing, "Conan told me that I could live here, and then I met Mr. Kudo Yusaku..."
Masumi Sera, Ran Maori, and Sonoko Suzuki noticed Subaru Okiya's pause, and followed Subaru Okiya's gaze to look at Conan who was walking to the door.
Outside the door, after Chi Feichi lit a cigarette with a match, he noticed Conan coming towards him and cast a concerned look.
What does the Death God elementary school student want to do?
Conan walked up to Chi Feichi expressionlessly, looked up and saw that Chi Feichi was also looking at him, and asked directly, "Why on earth? Why did you say that the incident next to the vending machine this morning was a theft?"
Bellmod and Chi Feichi may still be in contact. Although Bellmod has long known that he is Kudo Shinichi, it is okay for Bellmod to know that Kudo Shinichi has appeared, but he cannot guarantee that Bellmod will follow Chi Feichi. When I heard the news here, no one else from that organization was around.
Even though the woman would be very careful, he still felt that it would be better for him to be on the safe side.
In short, he had better quickly ask what was going on and get rid of that guy Sera!
"The incident in the morning...are you talking about the case where Mr. Takaichi died next to the vending machine in the morning?" Chi Feichi thought that Conan and Sera Masumi must have gathered here tonight just for this purpose, and asked while smoking. He said, "Why can't that be theft?"
Conan choked for a moment and said with half-moon eyes, "Because of that blood word on the ground! There is such a blood word next to the body. No matter how you think about it, it looks like a murder case. Moreover, there was a similar case ten years ago, and the same thing was found at the scene. There are bloody words, isn’t this a case of serial killings?”
Chi Feichi lowered his eyes and looked at Conan, and said in a calm tone, "The bloody words next to the corpse this morning should have been left by coins and cigarettes falling to the ground."
Seeing that Conan and Sera Masumi were stunned, Subaru Okiya suddenly became happy and said with a smile, "Yes, looking at the situation at the scene, the deceased died from a ruptured venous aneurysm when he went to the vending machine to buy alcohol. The cigarette and six coins in his mouth fell to the ground. The blood in his mouth fell to the ground and formed a blood stain, but did not penetrate into the cigarette and the coins. After the blood dried, someone took the coins on the ground and added them. The cigarette touched the side, causing the word 'death' to appear on the ground..."
Conan recalled the bloody words on the ground next to the corpse.
Indeed, the blank circular part of the word is too regular...
"On the way out of there, I asked Mr. Chi for confirmation," Subaru Okiya continued, "Looking at the size of the blank space on the blood stain at the scene, it should be two one-yuan coins, two 100-yuan coins, one 10-yuan coin and one A 500 yuan coin, the size should fit perfectly."
"As for the gap between the word "death", it was left by cigarettes..." Sera Masumi murmured, and felt that this was the truth. He quickly remembered another thing and turned to look at the food on the dining table. File bag, "What happened to the case ten years ago? Could it be that it was such a coincidence that something happened to cause the blood to form the word 'death' ten years ago?"
"I don't know much about the case ten years ago..." Subaru Okiya looked at the file bag on the table, "You came here to find the files on this case tonight, probably because of the incident this morning, right? It's convenient for us to know about it too. What’s the status of that case in ten years?”
Chi Feichi: "..."
Why count him?
Forget it, just understand it.
…
In the end, Conan did not give Chi Feichi another chance to ruin the fun of reasoning. After reviewing the case ten years ago, he understood what the case ten years ago was about.
Like today's case, it's a coincidence.
Ten years ago, the director of a nursery school fell down while holding a fish tank. The tank shattered and shards of glass penetrated his chest, causing him to die.
After the director died, a five-year-old child discovered the director. Because this child grew up in a temple, he knew some funeral procedures and helped the deceased pick a bouquet of flowers and put them next to him.
According to Japanese legend, if the deceased does not have six pennies on him after death, his clothes will be snatched away by Hades by the river, and the soul of the deceased will also fall into hell. The child knew this legend and was worried that the director would fall into hell after death. , placed six candies next to the body as six pennies. In order to prevent the six candies from being taken away, they also used bouquets to block the candies.
The deceased's blood spread along the arms and palms, soaking into the ground where the candies were. The six candies plus the director's thumb formed the word 'death'.
Later, a puppy in the park that had been fed with candies by a little boy came there, ate the candies, and kicked away the flower and the director's fingers.
Due to various coincidences, when the director's body was discovered, the word 'death' was left next to his palm.
Subaru Okiya and Masumi Sera both have strong reasoning abilities. They knew the truth behind the word "death" that morning, and they could quickly think of the truth about the case ten years ago. They talked to Conan one by one. The reasoning is complete.
Under Conan's guidance, even Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko participated in the reasoning.
"The incident coincidentally produced the same bloody word. Although it is incredible, I think Mr. Kudo Yusaku should have confirmed it ten years ago," Subaru Okiya bent over the table and squinted at the photos spread out on the table. , "These photos are also relatively complete. They even took photos of the puppy and the dog bowl in the park, and the photos of the child holding the candies. They also specifically mentioned that the child grew up in a temple. From this point of view, his The answer is the same as ours.”
"Yeah, probably because he didn't want the child to get involved in trouble, he didn't disclose the truth of the incident. After all, the incident attracted attention. If someone said that the child's worship was a prank, that child might be exposed to rumors. The injury, but he should have told Officer Megure the truth about the incident, so when Officer Megure saw the crime scene this morning, he immediately knew that it was a theft. As for Mr. Chi..." Shiliang... Zhenchun had a look of emotion on her face. When she mentioned Chi Feichi, she remembered that she hadn't heard Chi Feichi speak for a long time. She turned around to look for Chi Feichi, "Huh?"
Chi Feichi was already standing by the cupboard and finished smoking a cigarette. He was holding a cup in both hands. He looked down at the strange marks on the mouth of the cup. When Sera Masaki and others were silent, he looked up and saw other people looking at him. Moving to Okiya Subaru, he bluntly said what he was looking at, "There are marks left after the lipstick was wiped off with your fingers."
Mao Lilan looked at Conan hesitantly.
Mr. Subaru may have brought a woman back or something...
Isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk about this kind of topic in front of children?
Suzuki Sonoko hugged Mao Lilan's arm with excitement.
It’s better for Brother Chi to speak directly.
Gossip! She wants to hear the gossip!
"Really..." Okiya Subaru stepped forward and looked at the dusty cup, "It should have been when Miss Yukiko came back not long ago. She used this cup and put it in the corner of the cupboard. She thought It’s clean, just forget to clean it up.”
Suzuki Sonoko's wish to hear the gossip failed, and she asked with some regret, "Didn't he secretly bring women back or something..."
Okiya Subaru turned to look at Suzuki Sonoko, a question mark seemed to appear on his head. Because his eyes were always narrowed, his face still looked a little dull, "No, I don't have that idea."
Suzuki Sonoko's mind wandered.
Does it mean that there is no idea of 'bringing women', or that there is no idea of 'bringing people back'?
Although whether the handsome guy has a girlfriend or not doesn't affect her appreciation, but...
Wait, since it doesn't affect her appreciation, there seems to be no need to think about it.
"Speaking of which..." Sera Masumi looked at Okiya Subaru and said, "Your reasoning ability is also very good!"
"Thank you for the compliment," Subaru Okiya narrowed his eyes and responded in a gentle voice, "Because I am a Sherlock Holmes fan and I also like reasoning, so it is a joy for me to hear such a compliment. matter."
"Really?" Sera Masumi didn't find anything unusual in Okiya Subaru's behavior. Except for the words "I heard that Kudo Shinichi is dead" which gave her a weird feeling like she was testing someone, there was nothing else weird about it. , trying to extend the contact time, turned around and glanced at Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko, Conan and others, "We might as well go to the scene this morning to confirm and see if the coins can completely match the blood stains on the ground. In addition, we We can still search there, maybe there are some missed clues! How about Mr. Subaru and Mr. Chi also going together?"
"Sorry," Subaru Okiya refused decisively, "I woke up early this morning, and then went to Tedan Elementary School to be Mr. Chi's assistant in the cooking class. In the afternoon, I went to the stray animal shelter to help, and now I want to take a bath. I’ll go to bed early after reading the academic paper recommended to me by the doctor.”
Chi Feichi thought that there should be someone to beat up this time, but after a busy day, and thinking about beating up a few gangsters and having to share them with others, he didn't really want to join in the fun, and refused the offer to go together, "I also want to go back and rest early. , I won’t go with you.”
Since Okiya Subaru suggested that he wanted to take a bath and rest, Mao Lilan and others were embarrassed to stay for a long time, so they put the file bag back in the study and said goodbye.
Chi Feichi left the house one step ahead of the three girls. He went to Dr. A Li's house next door to see Haihara Ai, chatted with Dr. A Li for a while, and then drove away.
The students have finished school for two days and are on vacation again.
Previously, the release date of THK's Onmyoji series "Riki Shiranui" was delayed due to the actor Man Gong Nam's suicide by jumping off a building. Later, the film's release date was delayed due to the murder of the magazine president and photographer who falsely reported Man Gong Nam's scandal. It was later postponed and finally scheduled to be released during this period.
By the next day, it was late spring and the weather suddenly warmed up.
In the morning, people who had watched the movie in advance, such as Ike Feichi, Koshimi Nanatsuki, Mao Lilan, and Suzuki Sonoko, also went to the cinema to contribute to the box office. Dr. Agasa brought the young detective team together, and it was treated as a holiday activity.
