Realizing that his previous behavior may not have taken his daughter's feelings into consideration, Kogoro Mouri didn't dare to say anything more.
"Don't worry about him, my dad just overreacts when he's startled." Xiaolan drew circles on the ground with her toes, blushing and whispering embarrassedly.
"Well, uncle is also worried and confused, I can understand."
Kudo Shinichi smiled awkwardly, feeling the awkward atmosphere as if his entire body was covered in itching powder, and quickly changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, Detective Tang Ze, you should have noticed that I was following you, right?"
Tang Ze, who seemed to be asking for help from Kudo Shinichi, abruptly changed the subject and said, "I saw you look back several times, so I guess you were reminding me."
"certainly."
Seeing Kudo Shinichi's awkward expression, Tang Ze was filled with joy in his heart, but he still smiled on the surface and said, "Your poor tracking can only be hidden from outsiders, but it is very conspicuous to me.
When I turned around, it was just a signal to you, "I've spotted you," so you could act accordingly."
"It's true." Kudo Shinichi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"By the way, you're wearing the clothes of the Death God. Do you know the truth about the legend of the Death God?"
Although he still wanted to make fun of the "washing machine", it was obviously not appropriate to continue to "add fuel to the fire" this time, otherwise both Maori and his daughter would "explode", so he also cooperated with the other party to smoothly change the subject.
"Ah, about this."
Kudo Shinichi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Karasawa cooperate, and began to explain, "Actually, the number one Death God is Yada's father.
After his daughter accidentally entered the forest and fell into the lake and drowned, he lived in seclusion in a cabin in the mountains as the God of Death.
His purpose was to scare everyone so that children would not be allowed to enter the forest without thinking.
Until three years ago, when he unfortunately passed away due to health reasons."
Speaking of this, Kudo Shinichi sighed and said, "He wrote in the letter that there were flaws in my reasoning, and then he asked me to go to that cabin and locked me up.
But when I came out, I saw the tombstone next to the wooden house, and I thought it must be Mr. Yada's tombstone."
"You know it very well, kid."
Although Kogoro Mouri was unhappy because of his daughter, he realized that his behavior was a bit extreme after his previous "physical awakening". After calming down, he intervened in the topic to divert the previous awkward atmosphere.
"Well, when I came here a year ago, besides the murder case, there were actually other disturbances going on."
Kudo Shinichi saw that his father-in-law was a little speechless and tried to ease the atmosphere, so he was naturally happy about it. Although he felt a little guilty in front of Maori Kogoro, he still explained:
"That was Miss Hanoi who was nearly killed today. She was bringing her daughter here for an interview when she accidentally wandered into the forest and never came back."
"Ah, the people at the hotel also mentioned this." Xiaolan echoed, "They said Miss Kawachi ran into the forest in a panic."
"Well, at that time I was also planning to help go into the forest to look for her, but her daughter ran out of the forest by herself and happened to meet me."
Kudo Shinichi smiled and said, "The child said that she met Lord Shira in the forest. She was so scared that she ran away without looking back, and then she came out unknowingly while being chased by the other party.
At that time, I wanted to uncover the mystery of "Lord Death God" before solving the murder case, so I entered the forest and found "Lord Death God". Then I followed him all the way and found the wooden house.
After that, I found Johto-kun dressed as "Shinra-sama."
"No wonder you're wearing this outfit." Hattori Heiji suddenly realized, "This is the only outfit left in the room."
"Ah, thank goodness I have this set of clothes."
Kudo Shinichi smiled and said, "I accidentally fell into the lake and got soaked, so I had no choice but to dress like this.
I also thought that if I dressed up as "Dead God", everyone would be scared and run away, which would make it easier to hide my identity. After all, no matter how I thought about it, I felt like I was being plotted against, so it would be best to hide in the dark.
I originally wanted to go to the hotel to find you, but when you heard that I showed up and had lost my memory, this news really scared me.
I wanted to investigate, but this identity became a distraction, so I decided to stay in the hotel and see what was going on.
I waited for you guys but you didn’t come out. The rain got heavier and heavier, so I had to go back to the mountain cabin first.”
“They were waiting for me at that time.”
Tang Ze smiled and said, "Even if I wasn't there, if they went to the villa in advance, with your personality, you would have secretly observed to see what the person impersonating you was like.
If you wait until the people of Yada City get their guns, you'll lose the initiative and won't be able to intervene."
"That's true. After all, I'm not that impulsive. That's just my personality."
Upon hearing this, Kudo Shinichi sighed and said, "But it hasn't caused any major mistakes yet. It's a blessing in disguise."
"We are in the situation and we can't grasp the overall situation. Don't take it too seriously." Tang Ze comforted.
After all, he knew the plot, but because Hattori and Kudo didn't call him before, things had already happened by the time he found out.
In this situation, the combination of time constraints and bad weather made his Plan A fail.
This was something he had never expected at first.
Fortunately, Tang Ze always has a backup plan, and the props he has are powerful enough to support him in completing his subsequent plans.
