Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

Early the next morning, after briefly washing themselves with water from the river behind the police station, the group sat on the first floor and enjoyed a simple breakfast.

"If I had known, I would have brought food here."

After peeling the hard-boiled eggs, Yuji drank some hot water, took out a knitted hat from his backpack and put it on.

"Mr. Amuro also has that hat!" Xiaolan suddenly remembered that Toru Amuro was wearing the same hat yesterday, and asked curiously: "Did you buy it together when you went out?"

"No."

The boy moved a chair and sat at the door, admiring the snowy country outside and rubbing his nose.

"This thing is actually a trophy."

They were dug out of Akai Shuichi's box. In order to keep them as memories, the boy and Bourbon each took one and burned the rest.

"Today I will pick up mystery novels as usual." Idahang pulled out a plastic-wrapped magazine called "Weird" from under the table and turned over it.

Yuji pushed his chair away, took the magazine, and noticed several writers on the cover, especially the largest and most eye-catching "Egawa Ranko", who was not only the author, but also the editor-in-chief.

"Is this author a die-hard fan of Edogawa Ranpo? He actually gave his pen name Egawa Ranko?"

Yuji casually put the magazine on the table and sat back at the door. The small stove that heated hot water in the house made the first floor of the house very warm and made a beeping sound.

"Why?" Xiaolan put down the tea cup and subconsciously turned to look at Conan, waiting for his explanation.

"Because Egawa Ranko was originally the name of Edogawa Ranpo's novel." Conan also walked to the door and looked outside with his brother.

"Actually, this is not the case. Egawa Ranko is the pen name of a novelist. It is rumored that she is a female author and uses the names of her family members as her pen name to commemorate her."

The name of the family member, is it elder sister, younger sister or mother...

"So what's her relationship with Ichimori Choucho, pen pal?"

Mouri Kogoro never reads mystery novels, so he ignored Egawa Ranko's pen name, and instead directly asked about this person's relationship with Ichimori Chouchorou.

"Yeah, and it is said that Ichimori Choucho is also an investor in this "Weird" magazine.

In order to fully understand the matter, he pushed open the door of the police station and walked out. Yuji wrapped his clothes tighter and rolled up a scarf for Conan.

"But it's really cold here, and I don't know how these people can endure it without electricity."

"I have never seen a life with electricity, so I can't stand it." Conan looked at the words Yukiko on the scarf and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

I seem to have thrown away the scarf my mother knitted as trash!

Occasionally, women in kimonos can be seen. They run to the river to wash clothes. After seeing Yuji and Conan, who are dressed in fashionable clothes, they seem to be watching some strange creatures, and even invite their children to watch.

"Although I know they don't mean any harm, they just feel very unhappy." He pulled Conan and walked north quickly without stopping in the East Village. The two teenagers caught a glimpse of the torii gate at the north foot of the mountain and a house not far away.

"Is it a resting place for people who go up the mountain?"

"No."

A crisp male voice interrupted Yuji's guess.

"That's the sacrificial hall of the Ichishou family."

The two brothers looked north and saw a man in a simple kimono. Compared to Yuji, he was a little more childish.

Yuji found that the boy was holding a bucket in his hand. In the bucket was a kimono, which seemed to be men's clothing and quite luxurious, so he guessed: "You are the servant of the Ichimori family. How tall is your axe?"

The boy was obviously very surprised. He hesitated for a moment, ran to the torii gate, put the bucket on a high place, and then ran back quickly.

"Those are the clothes of Master Changshou Lang. If they are placed in a low place, they will be splashed by mud and water, making them difficult to wash."

He invited Conan and Yuji to sit down on a stone on the side of the road, and asked excitedly: "Excuse me, was what you just said a reasoning?"

"It's just guessing, not reasoning. Even a kid with a big head and a small body can do it."

After patting Conan's head and ignoring his brother's eyes, Yuuji turned his head and looked the boy up and down, as if he understood something.

"Haven't you ever read a book?"

"Books...I have read them." Jiduo Ax was stunned for a moment, and then he counted them on his fingers: "I have read many books, including some mystery novels. My favorite writers are Egawa Ranko and Kudo Yusaku. "

"Don't you like Sherlock Holmes?" Conan couldn't hold it back and ignored his younger brother's eyes.

Ji Duo had a very embarrassed face. He scratched his chin and said, "Actually, I don't have my own books. All I read are the books of Young Master Changshou Lang, and he doesn't like foreigners." I think those people’s names are too weird.”

This boy has never experienced compulsory education. No, no one in this village, not just him, even the young master and the ladies have not experienced school life.

"Do you like watching Freaks?"

Thinking of the magazines mailed from outside in the police station, Yuji subconsciously blurted out, but found that the expression on his face became strange when he looked at him.

"I'm... okay. I want to be a real detective more than a novel."

There's something wrong with the book, there's something wrong with that magazine. Conan and Yuji immediately realized something was wrong.

Looking at the boy who was very interested in reasoning, Yuuji touched the knuckles on his palm, took out a small blank notebook from his pocket, and handed it to Jiduo Gaogao.

"This is?"

"The most important step in reasoning is observation, and it is especially important to write down the observed information." The boy handed the pen to the boy: "If you want to become a detective, you must have a pen and a notebook."

The boy also understood what Yuji meant. This notebook and pen were given to him, and he immediately became at a loss.

In this village, things from outside are not often available. Except for the longevity man of the first family, the two young masters of the second family, and the daughters of the third family, other children have almost no chance to obtain items from outside the mountains.

How tall the ax is is even more difficult, because he was raised by the Ichimori family since he was a child. As a servant, he didn't even get a salary. The only thing that belonged to him was probably the clothes on his body and a cupboard for sleeping.

Maybe even the cabinet doesn't belong to him...

In short, this notebook was of great significance to the male servant. He wiped his hands that were not dirty with the corner of his clothes, took the notebook and pen with trembling hands, and put them into his arms with great care.

"Thank you very much. Thank you too, kid."

He stood up holding on to the stone, ran to the torii gate and took the bucket back, then walked over and asked in a low voice: "Are you here to investigate the case ten years ago?"

His eyes blinked, as if he had made some important decision.

"I have eaten at noon today and will go to the river to rest. Come on, I will tell you everything I know."

After saying that, he ran towards the creek where Brother Kudo came from.

"What do you think, how is he?" Conan looked at his brother.

"It's okay. What you say is credible."

The young man turned to look at the North Torii Gate and the mountain path behind: "Let's go to the Yuanshen Hall on the top of the mountain."
