Tang Ze originally planned to look for the mountain cabin where Conan was trapped in the plot.
If we can meet up with the other party, then things will naturally be much simpler. We can just confront the imposter directly.
After all, Xiaolan is here, and the fake cannot know what the two of them have experienced together over the years.
It can be said that the place is not questioned, and the same is true for calculating the disguise of amnesia.
After all, one of you has lost his memory, and the other can tell you all the memories that only you two know. It goes without saying who you will believe.
But looking at the flashing thunder in the dark clouds and the falling rain, Tang Ze felt that there was a high chance of being struck by lightning if he went up the mountain at this time, so he decisively gave up his previous plan.
There was no way. After all, this case came too suddenly and he was not prepared at all. He just acted according to the plan he had planned before.
Now that we have arrived at the scene of the crime, it is raining. Considering the current situation, it is only natural to change the plan and use another safer method to prevent the case.
After discussing their next itinerary, the group borrowed a few umbrellas from the hotel owner and headed towards the crime scene.
Of course, because of the incident of Kudo Shinichi falling into the water and losing his memory, the local police station detectives had already rushed over, so this saved Tang Ze a lot of trouble.
He directly revealed his identity and asked the other party to lead the way.
On the way, he took the opportunity to shoot the peeping spider bullet at the back of Kudo Shinichi's collar, so that Tang Ze could follow plan two and catch him in the act.
The two extreme bad ones are actually similar, except that the other one allows him to completely control the situation and make Kudo Shinichi suffer less.
But unfortunately, the weather was not good, so Tang Ze could only choose another method that was more useful and also the method he used most often.
They braved the heavy rain to arrive at the villa where the crime was committed, and under the guidance of the middle-aged inspector, they entered the room.
“What a mess…”
Looking at the scattered books and notes on the floor, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but sigh.
"We followed the young master's wishes and have kept the place the same as it was at the time of the crime since the incident."
Inspector Chengshan Shuma, who brought them to the crime scene, said this upon hearing this.
"Young Master?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows in surprise.
After all, the other party is a criminal, but he actually calls him like that, which obviously has an unusual meaning.
"It was Master Dashu who narrowly escaped the incident on the night of the incident a year ago because he was visiting a relative."
Chengshan Shuma seemed to understand that his name would easily lead to people thinking too much, so he explained, "His father was the village chief at the time and was very respected by everyone."
"Isn't this the kid from the village office?!"
Hattori Heiji looked at a family photo in the room and recognized that the little boy standing in the middle was the child he had seen before.
"Then those people around him are his parents, right?" He Ye guessed as he looked at the people in the photo.
"Yes, they are Master Daiki's parents who died in the case, Mr. Hihara Takitoku and Ms. Zhongzi."
Shiroyama Suma recalled this: “Although Headmaster Hihara was the village chief, he had a very cheerful and generous personality and was respected and loved by everyone in the village.
All in all, he had served as village chief for twenty years before his death.
Because of this, when the murder occurred that year, everyone in the village was deeply saddened."
"Are these the black footprints left behind in the case?" Kogoro Mouri said in a serious tone as he looked at the black footprints on the wooden floor.
"Yes, those were the footprints left by the murderer who was wearing shoes and stepped on the blood of Mrs. Zhong Zi who was murdered on the stairs, and then walked back and forth in the room."
"So, so scary..." Xiaolan felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about what the inspector said.
"Looking at the direction of these footprints, it seems they lead all the way to that balcony?"
Everyone is on the second floor at the moment, and Mrs. Zhong Zi was killed in a location between the first and second floors.
Logically speaking, the criminal should have escaped towards the gate after killing the person, but the footprints here lead to the balcony on the second floor.
"The footprints are the other way around here."
Hattori Heiji walked across the vast balcony of the villa to the railing: "The village chief must have fallen to his death here in time."
"Excuse me, is there any murder weapon left behind, or is there anything missing in the room?" asked Kogoro Mouri.
"No murder weapon or anything like that was found in the room during the search."
Upon hearing this, Chengshan Shuma said, “There were some gemstones and antiques that disappeared later.
All that remained in the room were the blood-stained footprints and a trace of a back and forth trip from the back door to the cement road.
"Are these the only shoe prints?" Tang Ze asked.
Although he remembered the story of the real and fake Kudo Shinichi, he had forgotten the cause of the case, so he was now seriously investigating this tragic case of family annihilation.
"Yes, I remember it clearly. It had been raining here until the day before the incident."
Cheng Shan Shu Ma nodded and said, "You can see that too. The village is not a city after all. It's still a bit muddy after the rain. If it was left over from before, it would have been washed away long ago."
"So the criminal murdered the village head and his wife, then fled in his car with the murder weapon and stolen property."
Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and pondered, "This must be a robber killing someone."
"Then I wonder who Kudo Shinichi finally identified as the criminal?" Tang Ze asked.
