Sure enough, it was burglary and murder. Hattori Heiji had a preliminary judgment on the case a year ago, and whispered:

"No wonder the scene was turned into such a mess..."

That's right, the prisoner is very arrogant, and it can also be said that he is a bold person with high skills.

Ye Gengyi looked at the mess everywhere, and made the same judgment as Hattori Heiji.

but.

With Kudo Shinichi's level of reasoning, would he overturn on such a small case?

You must know that even if you switch him with the prisoner, if you destroy the scene like this during the murder, there is no 100% guarantee that no personal traces will be left.

For example, at this moment, except for him, everyone who entered the scene had glass shards on their soles.

Therefore, according to common sense analysis, the murderer who committed this case a year ago will only leave more traces.

Thinking about it, Ye Geng cast his eyes on the balcony and walked over there.

The first thing that catches the eye is a backyard that has not been trimmed and is completely surrounded by weeds.

The balcony of the entire detached villa is built on a cliff about 7 or 8 meters above the ground.

Looking at the scenery outside, the lush forest branches and leaves are swaying in the wind.

The air is a little humid.

The dark clouds dormant in every corner of the sky increased rapidly, layer upon layer and stagnated above. In a trance, the Chengshan police officer who came with him felt like returning to the night of heavy rain a year ago.

Due to the lack of street lighting in the direction leading directly to the forest, it is impossible to see too far away.

Ye Geng moved his eyes down and stayed on the fixed line of the scene traces.

It's been a year and it still hasn't disappeared. Could it be painted with paint?

He pointed over there and asked, "Officer Chengshan, is this the place where Village Chief Riyuan died?"

"That's right..." Shuma Shiroyama nodded, "It is here that the village chief Niyuan fell to his death."

Fall?

No signs of struggle or struggle were found within the balcony area, so... so far, it is still unclear whether the deceased was scared by the murderer and jumped down in a panic, or was pushed down?

I didn't expect the police in such a village to use words so rigorously.

Hmm... If it were the useless police officer Takagi, he would have said something like, 'Yes, Mr. Ye, the village chief Hihara died here' or something...

Ye Gengyi paused for a moment, and gave Kogoro Mouri the opportunity to ask follow-up questions.

"Then, since it was a burglary, the murder weapon and the stolen items should have been found, right?"

After all, Kudo Shinichi, who has lost his memory, is not even as useful as a first-grade elementary school student, so they all plan to get more useful information from this kind-hearted police officer.

Shuma Shiroyama hesitated a little: "Uh, Mr. Mori, do you mean inside the room..."

"ah?"

Mori Kogoro was startled.

Shiroyama Suuma looked sideways at Kudo Shinichi, and then continued:

"Unfortunately, no suspected murder weapon was found in the room. As you can see, there are only blood-stained footprints left here."

The white room is like a canvas, rendered by black and frozen blood. After doing such an excessive thing, the perpetrator didn't drop the murder weapon to reduce the risk of being seen, but took it away?

Hattori Heiji, who was squatting in the room observing the shoe prints, immediately got up and came to the spacious and airy balcony, saying:

"Then...there are only these shoe prints left at the scene?"

Moreover, it was still a shoe print from a year ago, lacking a lot of clues, but it is not good for follow-up investigations.

"Because it rained the day before the incident, in addition to those in the room, shoe prints with the same pattern were also found on the ground at the back door of the house." Police Officer Chengshan said.

"Oh, in this case, you must have found clues to the murderer, right?"

Hattori Heiji asked: "Are there any suspects? Or is that person already arrested?"

Mori Kogoro guessed: "Wait a minute, maybe that kid wronged an innocent person as a murderer?"

"No, actually this matter..."

Police officer Chengshan hesitated to speak.

Before Mori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji continued to question.

Suddenly there were hurried footsteps from the entrance.

Soon a girl who looked about 20 years old and had short hair around her ears rushed over and pointed at Shinichi Kudo, shouting:

"How could it be possible to catch the murderer! Because this Kudo Shin reasoned the whole case into the fact that the village head of Japan forced his family to commit suicide with him!"

Immediately, she turned to the Shancheng police officer and said angrily: "Uncle Shancheng, I heard the villagers discussing it, so I wanted to come and have a look. How could you bring these outsiders to Chengren's house? Hurry up and let them They leave!"

"Mengsheng, calm down first..." Susuma Yamashiro was about to persuade.

Here, the quick-tempered Hattori Heiji had just recovered from the shock of the transition from the "robber murder case" to "forced family members to commit suicide". :

"Hey! Speaking of which, who are you, big sister?"

Big, big sister? !

The short-haired girl had bulging veins on her forehead, she put her hips on her hips and said, "I'm Chengren's classmate!"

Oh... childhood sweetheart... everyone understands.

Ye Gengyi took the opportunity to ask: "Does the Yatian Makoto you mentioned also live in the home of the village head of Riyuan?"

"Yes, because after the death of Chengren's parents, they were taken in by the kind-hearted Japanese village chief and have been living here."

The girl with short hair paused, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "At that time, he was the first to find the body and was regarded as a murderer!"

Hattori Heiji grasped the doubts, leaned over and asked, "Oh? It turns out that Makoto Yada was also suspected."

"Nothing!"

The short-haired girl immediately explained, "The day before the incident, he took the university exam in the city, and he couldn't come back because of the rain, so he stayed in the hotel!"

"Then let me ask you, where is Yada Makoto now?"

The clues were cut off again, and with the pressure of Kudo Shinichi becoming Edogawa Conan at any time, Hattori Heiji's tone became a little more impatient: "He sent me a letter saying that he had discovered Kudo's reasoning error, and He asked me to bring him over, but his whereabouts are unknown. If you can contact him, quickly call him out and tell me what's going on!"

The short-haired girl had a gloomy expression and said silently for a few seconds:

"It's not that his whereabouts are unknown. I think Chengren...may have been killed."

"What... murdered?!" Hattori Heiji was surprised~lightnovelpub.net~ Hey, can you explain it carefully! "

Clues come out one after another, but the mysteries accumulate more and more. If there is no way to find out the truth of the year and help Kudo recover his memory, he can only consider returning to Mihua Town first.

The short-haired girl took a deep breath and said:

"The head of the Japanese village is a good person. Although Chengren is his adopted son, he can inherit a considerable amount of inheritance, so he has no reason to go to the city to work, and there is not even the slightest news for half a year."

Murder for money... Is the reason exactly the same as the burglary a year ago?

Although the word 'benefit' has been a touchstone of character since ancient times, Ye Gengyi felt that this reasoning direction should be wrong.

Unless the FBI is the one who robbed and murdered, the little detective has no reason to cover up the murderer, so the key point is the conclusion of the other party's reasoning, that is...why do you say that the village head of Japan forced his family to commit suicide with him.
