Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 275 The Yuanshou Village Incident Ends

"Another guess?"

Ji Duo Gao stopped curiously: "Is the reasoning just now wrong?"

Flipping the notebook forward, Yuji looked at what Fuko said the day before yesterday, and raised his head to look at this immature boy.

"The previous ones are pretty much the same, the turning point is the night when Thirteen Nights participated in the ceremony."

Unlike the previous guess, this time it was a little darker.

A boy named Jiduo Haggao has been serving a man named Ichimori Chouchoro since he was a child, and he slowly feels that he has different feelings for the young master.At the age of six, he knew very well that he did not like boys, but he would always care about Changshou Lang unconsciously.

Growing up in the village, he also understood the legend of the curse, so on the night of the Thirteenth Night's ceremony, he hid outside the sacrificial hall and looked at Ichishou Changjurou who came out with a lantern.

Because of the darkness and the fact that his face turned pale from the light of the lantern, Chi Duo Gao didn't realize that this man was not the "Longevity Man" he had been serving all along.

He quietly followed Changshou Lang up the mountain, and at the same time that the boy stepped on the jade sand, Ji Duo Gao also sneaked into the woods and hid behind a big tree.But the next moment, something shocked him completely.

Under the light of the lantern on the ground, his complexion glowed. The one with obvious masculine characteristics like him was the former concubine, not the long-lived man he had a crush on.

The concubine, Changshou Lang, the concubine who always refused to let him help him take a bath in the past, and the concubine who always showed contempt for him in the past.

Even though he was only six years old, Chi Duo Fugao immediately thought of the truth behind this, and he was furious immediately. He looked through the bushes with hatred and fell on the Changshou Lang who was washing himself.

It was him who caused her to be treated as a sacrificial object, unable to reveal her true heart for more than ten years, unable to... become a real girl.

Yuji looked at how high the ax was, he squinted his eyes, and looked at the river where the fish jumped.The sound of streams in the mountains is very clear, and the sound of birdsong should make people happy, but at this time, it makes it even more desolate.

"The six-year-old boy, taking advantage of Ichimori Changjurou who was taking a bath in front of the well, didn't react, rushed behind the boy, grabbed Changjurou's leg, and pushed him into the well."

"This guess is very interesting, but it should be false."

Ji Duao touched the scarf around his neck: "If I were this kind of person, you wouldn't have given me the scarf, would you?"

Yuji didn't answer his words, but continued following his train of thought just now.

"After Ji Duo Gao killed Changshou Lang, he couldn't calm down due to the rapid heartbeat caused by the killing. He was about to go down the mountain, but at this time he saw a headless woman coming up from the North Mountain Road. There were two guards and two guards on the other mountain roads. The three guardians controlled him, so he had no choice but to quickly walk through Yulisha and hide behind the tree just now."

Yuji closed the notebook and stuffed it back into his pocket: "Obviously Ishouro Ichishou died in the well before entering the shrine, but you still insist that the sound he made while stepping on Yuli sand was because The concubine who went up the mountain wearing a veil did hear the rattling sound."

If he insisted that he never heard Changshou Lang entering the shrine, but heard the sound of him falling into the water, then it would not be consistent with what the concubine who went up the mountain heard behind him.

So in the view of the concubine, there was an unidentified person on the top of the mountain that night. He killed Ichishou Changshoulang and rushed into the shrine.

But when she entered the shrine, there was no one else inside, so she just guessed that the murderer escaped through an unknown method.In desperation, in order to preserve the identity of the head of the Yishou family, she thought of a way when she saw how tall the ax was hiding behind the tree and seemed to be dizzy. She returned to the middle of the mountain and came up with the lantern again.

The latter is probably about the same as before.

Coincidentally, although Ji Duo Gao didn't know the concubine's plan, he knew it was good for him and was willing to cooperate with her to wash away his sins.

"What a powerful conjecture. If you write it down, you will definitely be able to surpass those second-rate novelists."

Jiduoaxigao kept applauding, silly and happy, as if he was really happy for the young man in front of him.

"But this all happened more than ten years ago, and it doesn't make sense without evidence." Yuji changed his tone, sighed, and looked at Ji Dao Gao complicatedly.

"How much... I'll call you that. Live a good life with her, and don't hold such boring wedding ceremonies again in the future."

This time the ax height finally changed his face, he looked at Kudo Yuji seriously, tore off the scarf around his neck, and threw it on the ground.

"You guys better go, this village doesn't welcome outsiders, don't let Lord Danshou pay attention to you."

In front of the two brothers, he took out his notebook and pen, threw them towards the river from a distance, turned and left.

"What does the last sentence mean?"

Hiding behind a tree, Conan quietly aimed at the height of the ax with the anesthesia watch, closed the watch cover, and slid down the slope.

"Brother, you haven't thought about it. If Yishou's family has no heir, what's the point of the concubine's pretense of doing these things?"

Yuji picked up the scarf, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it, watching it burn silently.

"You mean, besides Ichishou Changshoulang, the Ichishou family has a backup heir."

The primary school student also sighed when he thought of the treatment he received as a housekeeper, the thin kimono, and the village's custom for boys.

"Isshou... Is the ax high?"

However, since his complexion changed so drastically just now, it means he knows his own life experience, when did he know it?

After replaying his childhood, Conan slowly expressed his opinion.

"It is estimated that on the night of the Thirteenth Night, when the body of Ichimori Choucho was carried back by the Ichimori family, he was informed of his life experience."

"Probably...that's it."

Along the river, they looked at the notebooks and pens that had been sunk into the bottom of the water, and gradually lost their thoughts.

"However, if human factors are attributed to ghosts and gods, this village is too superstitious." Conan sneered in contrast, with the demeanor of a scientific believer.

"I don't think so, maybe Lord Danshou really exists."

Yuji took out the notebook again and turned to the last page.

"From the information I found, most of the men who died in this village in the past were beheaded. Even this time, Ichishou Changshourou didn't keep his head after death. Although most of them were man-made, But in the end their heads were chopped off for various reasons."

Perhaps in a certain sense, the curse of Danshou really took effect.

Back at the police station, Date, who had already packed his things, patted the roof of the car and handed the key to a young policeman.

Looking at the police officers who entered the police station, Yuji noticed Xiao Ran who was already sitting in the car, and shook his head.

"Mr. Amuro, why did you give the key to this young policeman and old policeman?"

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, looking at the door of the police station in confusion.

"Speaking of it, it seems that there is really an old policeman, but isn't there only one policeman stationed in this village?"

What does that old policeman look like...
