The Advent of the Infinite King

"Let's go, everyone, it's getting bigger and bigger."

They ran all the way to the mountains, and they were greeted by an old man named Iwata Shigekichi with white hair, heavy beard and gloomy complexion.

"Dry your bodies quickly, don't get this dirty." Seeing them coming in, Iwata Shigekichi said unceremoniously.

Seeing his gloomy face and such attitude, everyone was stunned outside the door, but Xie Chen asked, "Grandpa, are you the administrator of this rest station?"

Shigekichi Iwata turned on the lamp, and when he saw Xie Chen, his expression softened, and he said with a smile, "That's right, come in quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

They breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the house.

Mori Kogoro put the travel bag on the stool and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Uncle." Xie Chen said, "Hurry up and call."

"Yeah, I forgot." Mori Kogoro walked to the phone on the cabinet, "Old man, please borrow the phone."

Shigekichi Iwata nodded, and Kogoro Mori picked up the microphone, but there was no sound from it.

"There is no sound, may I ask..."

"I think the thunderstorm just now interrupted the phone line." Shigekichi Iwata put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, "This kind of thing often happens."

"It's really nerve-wracking." Mori Kogoro said distressedly, "It's raining heavily now, and it's getting dark again."

Chao Wenzao said: "It's very dangerous in the mountains at night, so don't fight."

Nose Shingo also said: "Besides, this is the top of Danyuan Mountain, and there are no other rest stops near here. That is to say, we are completely isolated now."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Saneda Kyoko gasped.

He Bianhuang took off his hat, gritted his teeth and said, "No way, are you kidding, aren't we going to be trapped here with that murderer for one night?"

"Murderer?" Iwata Shigekichi asked doubtfully.

Mori Kogoro sighed, sat down on the bench, and said slowly: "The young man who climbed with us seemed to have an accident and fell off the cliff halfway."

Iwata Shigekichi was not too surprised, but said: "It seems that there was an accident, but then again, it is too much for the murderer to dirty this mountain like this."

Nose Shingo said: "The murderer is still very likely to be in our cabin now, maybe that person is you, Mr. Chao."

"What are you talking about!" Chao Wenzao, who was warming up by the fire, roared angrily.

Nose Shingo said: "At first glance, someone who looks a bit suspicious, but who is not too suspicious is the murderer. This is common sense, and this is also my experience."

"Nonsense!" Chao Wenzao was obviously not interested in pestering him, but asked, "Is the meal ready? I'm starving to death."

Afterwards, Shigekichi Iwata served curry rice from the stove and put it in front of everyone one by one. Xie Chen always felt that something was wrong while eating the curry rice, but he couldn't tell.

Ever since he entered the room, Takanashi hadn't spoken a word, and he only took two bites of the meal and put it aside.

Mao Lilan said softly, "What did Mr. Takanashi do?"

Chao Wenzao took a sip of tea, looked at Gao Liheng and said, "You must be surrounded by guilt."

Takanashi gritted his teeth fiercely and stood up. A sharp knife fell out of his coat pocket and landed right next to Sanedo Kyoko. Sanedo Kyoko was startled immediately, and the others also stood up.

Takanashi hurriedly picked up the sharp knife and looked at them vigilantly.

Chao Wenzao said loudly: "So it really is you!"

"I don't have one." Takanashi subconsciously raised the knife.

Sanzhi Kyoko threw herself into Akira's arms, and shouted in horror, "Don't kill me!"

Takanashi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "It's a piece of nonsense, everyone will carry a mountaineering knife."

As he spoke, he inserted the knife into the sheath made of cowhide.

Mori Kogoro said: "That's right."

Nose Shingo looked at Mori Kogoro, and suddenly said: "I remembered, Mr. Mori-san, you are Mr. Mori Kogoro, right, great detective."

"Is he a detective?"

Kyoko Saneda was taken aback again, hugged the river tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that he..."

And all of this was seen by Xie Chen, and things became more and more complicated.

Nose Shingo asked with great interest: "Why do you use a fake name? Could it be that you are handling a case now, or is it a purely private matter? You shouldn't have anything to do with this murder case, right?"

Chao Wenzao looked at him vigilantly, but Mori Kogoro suddenly laughed, "Really, how long will it rain? Let's listen to the weather forecast."

He rang the radio, and there was a rustling sound from the radio.

Nose Shingo still didn't give up, walked up to Mori Kogoro, and whispered, "Just tell me alone."

Mori Kogoro looked at her helplessly, when the radio started to sound.

"News flash, a [-]-year-old Mr. Tanaka Fu, a resident of Danyuan Village this morning, was unfortunately killed. The police suspect that the murderer may have fled to Danyuan Mountain."

The cabin became silent, looking at each other.

"The police have launched a search force. At present, [-] police officers are continuing to search in the mountain area."

Afterwards, they each had their own concerns, spread sleeping bags on the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.

In the early hours of the morning, Xie Chen suddenly woke up as if he had noticed something, and looked sideways, a black figure was holding a sharp knife, aiming at Kogoro Mouri.
