Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"To the village?"

Lying in the hotel, Yuji looked at Datehan and Amuro Toru who were taking a bath and wearing kimonos.

"Yes, he said that there was a case when that village held a festival ten years ago, but it was never solved. Now they are holding a festival again, so we plan to go and have a look."

It can be seen that Mr. Amuro really wants to go.

Yuji sat up from the tatami, took the paper documents delivered by Date Airlines, and began to read through them.

In Yuanshou Village, a family village under the jurisdiction of Qunma County, it has been run by the Secret Shou Family for generations. The Secret Shou Family was passed down to this generation and split into three small families: the First Shou Family, the Second Shou Family, and the Third Shou Family. As the eldest son of the family, the Ichishou family is the patriarch of the entire secret family.

"There is a story circulating in this village called Master Danshou. It is said that there was a woman who was beheaded in Yuanshou Village, so she cursed all the male heirs of the local master's family to attend the ceremony on three nights. Death in the night."

"Three nights of attending the ceremony?"

Yuji held the pen and kept writing. When he heard this rather special information, he slowed down his writing speed and waited for Datehan to continue.

"Each generation of the Ichimori family must attend a three-night ceremony before getting married, which is probably the thirteenth and twenty-third."

Datehang put a can of coffee on the table and noticed that Yamamura Cao and Kagawa came in with the four Mouri Kogoro and Sonoko sisters, so he closed his mouth.

"You are talking about the story of Yuanshou Village." Shancun Trader sat down and said, "Master Danshou is real!"

How could something like this be true? It was just a story made up by others...

Realizing that his daughter was a little scared, Uncle Maori taunted him directly: "Is it possible that it really cursed someone else?"

"As expected of Mr. Mouri!" Yamamura Cao immediately looked at Kogoro Mouri with admiration.

"Ten years ago, something happened to the heir of this generation, Ichimori Chouchoro, and his twin sister, Ichimori Concubine, on the night they attended the Thirteenth Night Ceremony!"

Yamamura Cao raised his index finger with great interest: "I heard from the servant of Ichishou's family, Jiduo Axegao, that that night he secretly followed Ichishou Changshou, and he really saw the headless woman. Later, the police of Yuanshou Village Reported that the concubine was killed, her head and body were separated, and she was soaked in a well. "

The more she talked, the more terrifying she became. Xiaolan couldn't help but hugged Conan, trying to seek comfort, but found that Yuji, Amuro Toru, Conan and Mouri Kogoro all had "very interesting" expressions on their faces.

Really...four big donkeys!

"This case is very interesting." Yuji looked at the notebook in his hand: "First of all, if the Ichishou Shouchang was killed, then the possibility of the second and third shou family is very high, but the person who was killed was the ichishou concubine. ”

"Killing the concubine and pretending to be indifferent shows that the perpetrator is very familiar with the rumors in this village." Toru Amuro also added.

However, there is no way to solve the mystery based on the information provided by Datehang and Yamamura Cao. If you want to solve the case, you still have to go to the village.

"I'll go!" Yuji put down his notebook.

Conan, who was sitting in Xiaolan's arms, also raised his hand, and then stared at Mouri Kogoro pleadingly.

"Uncle, there is no money for this commission anyway. Let's go to that village together to see it."

With a snort, Mouri Kogoro glared at Conan: "I don't want to do such a thankless thing!"

"Our police station has issued a reward. If you solve the case ten years ago, there will be a reward of five hundred thousand yen." Date Hang stretched out his hand and made a five.

"Done it!" He punched the tatami, and Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up.

If you help that secret keeper solve this inexplicable curse, maybe you can get a few favors.

"We won't go."

Raising her hands, Sister Yuanzi took out her mobile phone: "There are a lot of activities at home recently, we have to go back."

The people who were going there were confirmed. Except for the Mori family, Yuji, Amuro Toru and Date Hang, there was no one else.

"Woof!"

You have to count Shinpachi...

The next morning, they found that the snow had stopped, and several people in two cars continued to explore the mountain road.

"Why is it so remote? Even if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be possible to call for help in time?"

After leaving his Porsche with his teacher, Yuji borrowed a Mazda and Toru Amuro drove him. In front of them was Datehang, who was leading the way, driving the Maori family.

"Shinpachi, please be patient, we will be there soon."

After touching the dog's head, Yuji couldn't help but sigh.

The pets at home have become expensive recently, and Shinpachi and Anna have to sit well even if they take a car, otherwise they will always feel uncomfortable.

"Mr. Amuro, do you think the prisoner was killed accidentally?"

Understanding, Bobon immediately understood what Yuji meant. Teacher Kudo suspected that the prisoner from ten years ago originally planned to kill Ichimori Choucho, but ended up accidentally killing the concubine.

According to the map given by Datehang, the First Shou family lived in Beicun, the Second Shou family lived in East Village, and the Third Shou family lived in Nancun. In the middle was Yuanshou Mountain. The Thirteenth Night Ceremony was held at the Yuanshen Hall on the top of Yuanshou Mountain.

"But why did he want to chop off his head? At that time, he could behead his head calmly. It is unlikely that it was just to fit in with the legend of the village."

"What do you think, Mr. Kudo?"

"Jiduo Fugao is sixteen years old this year." Yuji took out a stack of information from the sealed bag in his arms, looked at the information about all the people in the Hitoshi clan of Onematsu Village, and put Jiduo Fugao on the top.

"The police station's information said that he was an orphan who was raised in the Imo family since he was a child. He was only six years old ten years ago."

If he hadn't seen the Junior Detective Team and the naughty kids in Teitan Elementary School, Yuji would definitely not believe the confession of this six or seven-year-old child, but just thought he was dreaming.

Touching the yellowed paper, Yuji read Jiduo Fugao's confession ten years ago.

[I was very worried about Master Chojuro, so I followed him and wanted to protect him. After he washed his body at the well in front of the Onematsu Hall and stepped on the jade sand to make a crackling sound, I wanted to go down the mountain directly, but I saw a headless woman washing her body like the master. 】

Later, Jiduo Fugao found that the headless woman had disappeared. When he wanted to run down the mountain immediately, a woman who was guarding the concubine came up the mountain with a headscarf and a lantern in her hand. He had to carry her on his back and wait for the concubine to take a bath and walk into the Yuanshen Hall. Then Jiduo Fugao waited outside until Yishou Changshoulang came out.

The strangest thing about this case is that the exit and entrance of Yuanshen Hall are the same door, and there is no other secret passage. The concubine clearly entered Yuanshen Hall, but Changshoulang said that he had never seen his sister. In the end, the concubine's body appeared in the well in front of the hall.

Putting the information back into the file bag, the boy closed his eyes and yawned at the chair.

No matter what happened at the thirteenth night ceremony ten years ago, ten years have passed, the body has been burned, and the traces have been erased. Even if you go, you can't find any information. So Yida Hang's mission is probably to ensure that there are no accidents at the twenty-third night ceremony this time.

"In order to solve the case better, I'd better sleep for a while."
