Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 274 Yuji’s reasoning

Sitting on the first floor of the police station, Yuji and Conan repeated the story they had told before in front of everyone.Xiaolan was frightened and hugged Conan directly, covering her face with his head.

"According to the records in the police station and the dictation of the old policeman. On the Thirteenth Night ten years ago, the twins of the second guardian did not go out and kept them at home."

Datehang rubbed his temples and threw a notebook on the table.When Yuji and Conan went to collect information from Jiduohaogao, he and Tohru Amuro also went to the second guardian's house, the third guard's house and the surrounding small households.

Seeing several people put the search results on the table one after another, Mori Kogoro, who had been sleeping in the police station, was a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and straightened his tie.

"Then, now it's the job of the famous detective Mori Kogoro, and I will deduce...the real murderer ten years ago."

After picking up two notebooks and briefly reading them again, he said with certainty: "The prisoner is Ichimori Choucho!"

"But he had already entered the temple at that time..."

"Needless to say!" Mouri Kogoro glared at Toru Amuro who was speaking: "That kid named Ichigo has been taking care of Ichimori Choucho. Of course he would want to protect his acquaintance."

Yuji tapped his finger on the table and frowned: "But uncle, in this case, the situation during that time on the mountain may be all false."

If the number of Fugao lies, then no headless woman can be trusted. Who knows what happened after going up the mountain.

Uncle Maori proudly pointed to the record that Datehang took out from the police station yesterday, and shook his index finger: "When the body was pulled out of the well, the old policeman at that time followed them."

The old policeman said that apart from him, Mr. Ichimori led four people up the mountain, and including him when he came down the mountain, there were only six people.After the body came down the mountain, the three gates of the entire mountain were guarded by each family to ensure that no one else ran down the mountain.

"Yi Shoujia did know the inside story, so they burned the body hastily the next day."

Conan was breathless while being held by Xiao Lan, trying his best to deny the ghost elements in the case and turn it into a murder case.He felt that the pressure on himself was much lessened, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The head of the concubine who appeared later had no hair." Datehang told another piece of information that Brother Kudo didn't know.

"Baldhead?!"

Although they knew that the concubine's body had a lot of hair after it was fished out of the well, the two brothers thought it was the severed hair that was chopped off with the axe when the concubine was killed.

"Yes, he's bald."

While flipping through a "Weird" magazine, the boy paused for a moment and sighed.

"No matter what, tomorrow is the 23rd Night Ceremony. The village should pay attention to it this time."

Nothing surprising happened the next day, and it was even a little calm. Although the secret guardian clan had no ill feelings towards these outsiders who volunteered to guard the mountain gate torii, they did not have any kind words.

The good thing is that on the night of the 23rd night ceremony, several people finally saw the true face of Changshou Lang. The moment he saw the center of this story, Yuji figured out a lot of things.

How should I put it, maybe because of different experiences, the other people didn't notice it.

At noon on the third day, after having lunch, the boy and Conan went to the river again. As soon as they stepped on the stones, the axe over there kept waving.

"Do you have any idea?" He smiled very refreshingly, as if he had seen an old friend for many years.

"It's a little late." Yuji looked at the rags on the ground, and in front of several axes, he instructed Conan to go to the woods to pick up some branches to make a fire.

"You're really rude to your younger brother." Ji Duo Gao laughed, seeing Yuji take off the scarf and hand it to him, he was flattered.

"You're dressed too thinly."

The boy looked at the river in the distance. The ice that had just formed in the morning had now melted. From time to time, fish jumped out of the water and slapped the water.

"Let me tell you my guess."

Because the past is too long, this can't even be called reasoning, it's just a guess.

"Twenty-three years ago, a pair of twin brothers and sisters were born in the Ichimori family. Because of the curse in this village in the past, Mr. Ichimori suddenly had a wonderful idea."

That is to exchange the identities of boys and girls...

They raised boys as girls and girls as boys, trying to channel the curse of Lord Danshou into the daughter of the longevity man, thereby preserving the concubine who was actually a boy.

"That's why the concubine's daughter always dresses so shabbyly in accordance with the custom of a housekeeper boy, while Master Changshoulang is very luxurious?" Ji Duo Gao's eyes widened, as if he was surprised that the young master who had been serving him since childhood was actually a girl.

"Everyone in the village thinks that the Ichishou master of this generation is deviant and raised the boy so richly, but in fact he has always raised his son according to the tradition."

Yuji took out his notebook and turned to the key points of his notes.

"The identity exchange between brother and sister lasted until the age of 13, that is, on the night of the thirteenth night, the boy who changed into his true form, Ichimori Choucho, accidentally fell into the well and died while taking a bath in front of the well.

Later, when it was almost time to go up the mountain, the girl who loved beauty touched her bald head caused by pretending to be a boy and covered it with a veil, so that it looked like she had no head at night. "

The young man flipped through the notes and continued: "She also took a bath by the well according to the tradition, but when she saw the corpse inside, her heart skipped a beat, and she heard a sound from the woods."

She heard the sound of the ax trampling on the branches, and found the seven-year-old boy who was hiding behind the tree and was stunned. She thought of a way to keep the head of the family.

Taking advantage of how many ax heights the girl hadn't woken up, she went down the mountain road and went up the mountain again with a lantern. After deliberately making a noise to wake up the little servant, the girl who had been pretending to be a boy washed her body briefly. He walked into the shrine.

The moment she reached the top of the tower, the girl blew out the lantern in her hand, took off her lady's kimono, and found a man's kimono in the three rooms behind the tower, desperately regaining her former male identity .

"I've read "Weird" magazine, and there are a lot of... Tanmei novels in it. You had a bad face before because you suspected that you fell in love with a man, the young master who has been serving you since childhood, right?"

Yuji raised his head and looked at Chiduo Fugao's flustered face: "Don't worry now, she is actually a girl."

"Young master... no, Miss..." Ji Duo Gao hugged his knees: "It has been very painful all this time, being treated as an abandoned son of my brother, who is obviously a girl, can't dress up, can't wear girl's clothes, and can't even be with her. Someone else said it."

He had a distressed look on his face, and he climbed up holding on to the stone, wanting to go back and tell Changshou Lang what he felt, and tell her that he knew everything.

Noticing Ji Da Fu Gao turned around, Yuji also stood up.

"Wait a moment."

The boy looked at Ji Duo Gao who turned around: "I have another guess here."

　This incident ended after Yuji finished his reasoning. It is not original, and the original is very beautiful.
