Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 297

"Someone is warming up to the fire here?" Mori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji stood in front of the still burning fire, smelling the smell of burnt grilled fish in the air.

"If it was the person who ate the fish, he might have seen the whole process of Kudo falling into the water and being rescued ashore."

Master Osaka squatted on the ground, reached out and picked up a bunch of black soft fur from the side of the fire.

"It's so soft, and it fell off together with the hair follicle." He seemed to have thought of something, and wrapped the hair with a handkerchief.

If you guessed right, this is the hair of a cat. The person who cooks and eats fish raises a cat.As long as you go to the village to inquire around, you will soon know the truth about "Kudo Shinichi" falling into the water.

Looking at Kudo Shinichi who was wearing a towel over there, Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes: "It's so suspicious..."

"What's so suspicious?" Kazuha came back holding Hattori's clothes. Kazuha put a casual suit in Mori Kogoro's hand. Then he noticed the sweat on Hattori's forehead that was baked by the fire, and subconsciously took it from his arms. He took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

"What...what are you doing! I have a handkerchief myself, so I don't want you to meddle in my own business!" Startled by Kazuha's hand, Hattori Heiji hummed a few words, but because of his childhood sweetheart, he was disappointed The expression is not good.

"That's enough! Heiji, you big stupid ass!"

Kazuha threw the handkerchief on Hattori Heiji's face, turned around and returned to the girls' team, leaving only the Osaka boy who was despised by Ran and the other four.

"So bad..." x4
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to bed quickly."

Mouri Kogoro looked at Kudo Shinichi who was getting dressed, patted him twice on the shoulder, and called everyone back to the hotel: "Anyway, when Yuji comes tomorrow, maybe this detective boy will remember everything when he sees his brother. ."

Heiji picked up the empty bucket beside the fire and poured water to put out the fire. Hattori Heiji followed everyone from the lake to the place with lights along the side of the big lake reflecting the moonlight.

It wasn't until 5 minutes later that Yuji, who was itchy from being pricked by the leaves, suddenly got a cat's head out of the bushes, and looked mockingly at Hattori Heiji's back as he went away.

It's still so useless, Hattori, it seems that Lord Nyaura is going to help you this time.

Jumping down from the tree, Conan touched his half-dried coat, calmly walked to the extinguished fire, and continued to steam the clothes with the still warm water.

I already had a cold, but now it's probably going to be more serious...

"That fake, is it plastic surgery?"

Looking up at the hut on the top of the mountain, Conan sighed: "I still have to go up and have a look."

In order not to attract people's attention, borrowing the night eyes of Mr. Simeiluo, he went up the mountain from a place where no one would pass by. Conan and Yuji stood at the small door that was nailed to death with wooden boards, and they started to remove the nails from the door together. .

"You were sealed here before?" Yuji stretched out his claws to snap off a nail, and then threw it into the lake: "That person really can't wait for you to die."

If you stay in here for two or three days, you will probably die of thirst without water.

After removing the entire door panel, Yuji walked into the cabin. Through the cat's eyes, it was very clear that the room was at this moment. The walls were covered with photos scratched by knives and broken mirrors.

Sitting down while leaning on the chair by the wall, Yuji noticed the purple kimono hanging on a simple homemade hanger, and a white wig, which was thrown on the table with a hook of the tail.

"No wonder people in the village said they saw Lord Luo, the God of Death. It turns out that someone is deliberately pretending to harm others."

Big Cat tidied up the wig, and then buttoned it directly on his head. Because the kimono was too slim, he couldn't fit it with the cat's fat body, so Yuji had to tear a slit on both sides, and squeezed himself into the clothes.

Taking this wooden house as a resting place for the time being, Conan lay on the floor, turned his head and glanced at the fat cat that was already sound asleep, and unconsciously guessed what the person pretending to be himself was trying to do.

.........

The next morning, after breakfast, they were going to visit the scene of the murder case of the village head of Yatian. The group agreed with the staff of the village committee, and then walked along the path to the west of the village.

Passing through a row of lush weeds, several people stood in front of the best built house in the village.

"This is the house of the head of the village of Yata."

Putting his arm around Kudo Shinichi's shoulders, Hattori Heiji asked in a deliberately approachable manner: "Kudo, did you remember anything?"

"Sorry, I can't remember anything..." Looking at the abandoned house five in a daze, the fake Kudo covered his forehead and cried out that he had a headache.

【What a terrible acting skill. If the son of the Kudou family dared to perform like this, his mother would probably slap his face...】

On a tree not far away, Yuji, who was sitting on a branch with Conan in his arms, scratched his tail and yawned.

"Damn it, after I fell into the water, none of the props were used." Taking off the glasses on his face, Conan looked at the sneakers that were already a decoration.

It would be great if Dr. A Li came too. He always has a spare set of props in his trunk, and he can always replace them even if they break.

"Sure enough! They said that Uncle Arita fished a man who looks exactly like that annoying detective from the lake, and we are all discussing it in the village."

Throwing a bunch of keys from her hand and borrowing them, the girl with the same hairstyle as Sonoko looked at the people in front of her coldly.

"Didn't the uncle from the village committee come with the key? Why did he become a girl?"

Hattori Heiji leaned against the corroded and tattered gate, very unhappy with the girl's attitude.

"Because the key to Cheng's house is in my hand, and the young master also lives in my house."

"Master?" Mori Kogoro was surprised when he heard this word. In his eyes, there should be no one in this village who can be called master or master.

"It's the son of the head of the village. The wife of the head of the village is the last descendant of the owner's family that has been passed down from generation to generation in this village. After the village head gets married, we will call his son the young master."

The girl opened the door with a key, looked at the mirror that did not reflect light even in the sun, walked lonely to the door inside, and put her hand on the door.

"It would be nice if Chengren... was still here."

"Is he already dead?" Kogoro Mori heard such a sentence as soon as he entered the yard. He subconsciously substituted it into his daily life, thinking that Makoto Yada had received a lunch box.

"What are you talking about! Really! You detectives, as soon as you hear someone talking..."

She closed her mouth and said no more.

"We detectives...have you seen other detectives?" Hattori Heiji put down his hand and stared at the girl's face with a serious face.

"Speaking of which, we still don't know your name, and what is your relationship with Makoto Yada?"

The girl glanced at Kudou Shinichi, first showed a disgusted expression, then opened the door of Yada's house and spread the dust inside.

"My name is Mizukawa Moe, I am Makoto's... childhood sweetheart."

Shuichuan brushed off the dust on his sleeves from opening the door: "As for the detective, I met a pen pal who was a detective when I consulted about this case in an online forum before, and she saw me send [Chengren is not here] When I said this, I thought for the first time that Chengren was dead."
