"In fact, the city man is not missing at all."
In response to Hattori Heiji's questioning, Mizukawa's words surprised everyone present.
When Mizukawa Moe said this, his face was filled with gloom and worry: "In fact, I suspect that Joto-kun may have been murdered!"
"What do you mean?"
Maori Kogoro said with a serious expression: "Ms. Mizukawa, do you have any evidence?!"
"Although everyone in the village said that Shiroto-kun went to Tokyo to work and make a living, he is still the adopted son of this family after all. He also inherited a lot of inheritance after the death of the village head and his wife..."
Mizukawa Moeyoshi didn't say anything more after saying this, but everyone understood what he meant.
"Do you mean that someone is secretly eyeing the inheritance and doing something bad to him?" Kogoro Mouri hesitated.
"I don't know, but from what I know about Johto-kun's character, it's absolutely impossible for him to disappear without a trace for six months without any news coming back!"
Mizukawa Moeyoshi seemed to have fallen into endless fear: "And the one who killed him might be someone in the forest..."
Mizukawa Moeyoshi seemed to be afraid of something when he said this. He opened his mouth and finally turned his head away.
"In the forest..."
This abrupt end to the words made everyone think a lot, but seeing that the other party didn't want to say more, it was not a good idea to force him.
"Then do you know who sent me this letter and for what purpose?"
Upon learning that the sender had disappeared for half a year, Hattori Heiji stroked his chin and said, "And what is the mistake in Kudo Shinichi's reasoning mentioned in the letter?"
"According to Kudo Shinichi, the former village chief of Nihara forced his family to commit suicide because he himself was diagnosed with cancer. Unable to accept it for a while, the village chief chose an extreme measure."
Although the voice that answered Hattori Heiji's question was also a female voice, it was not Mizukawa Moe, but a middle-aged woman with glasses and a mean face.
The other person came down from the third floor holding the handrail of the stairs and said with a smile: "And the truth that Kudo Shinichi announced a year ago is the problem."
"Who are you?" Tang Ze asked the other party.
"Oh, my apologies. I'm Fukasato Kawachi, a reporter for the East Metropolitan News." The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "I'm so sorry. I saw the door wasn't locked, so I came in without permission."
But this woman looks really mean. It's okay when she doesn't smile, but when she smiles, she looks like a malicious and vicious woman. With her somewhat shrill voice, she looks like a villain in a movie.
"Then, I wonder where Kudo went wrong in his judgment?" Hattori Heiji asked the woman.
"In fact, the next day, a nurse at the hospital accidentally let it slip."
Kawachi Fukasato smiled and said, "Although the former village chief had cancer, it was a benign tumor.
When he heard that he could recover after surgery, the village chief seemed to be in a good mood.
"What did you say?!"
Hattori Heiji was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Kudo Shinichi who was silent beside him and grabbed his shoulders with both hands: "Hey Kudo! What the hell is going on?!
Explain quickly! Hey, Kudo! "
Xiaolan and Kazuha looked at Kudo Shinichi with complicated expressions, but their eyes were filled with expectation that he could give a reasonable explanation.
"I..." Kudo Shinichi covered his forehead with a look of pain and confusion, and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know... I don't know anything now..."
"Kudo..." Hattori Heiji looked at his friend who had a confused face, opened his mouth but didn't know how to comfort him.
Xiaolan, who was standing by, stared blankly at her lover in front of her, her face full of worry.
"I see. I finally understand."
Just as everyone was worried about Kudo Shinichi's amnesia, Maori Kogoro beside him banged his right fist against his left palm and said, "No wonder the villagers in this village looked disgusted when they saw this Kudo kid."
"That's right."
Kawachi Fukasato looked at the bewildered Kudo Shinichi with a playful expression, "It's because of his reasoning that he brought shame upon the village chief whom everyone respects, so naturally, he won't be welcomed."
“But this is horrible.”
After hearing the whole story, Toyama Heye suddenly realized something and looked a little scared. "If what you said before is true, then the real murderer who killed the village chief's family is still at large, right?"
"That's right, everyone in the village thinks so." Mizukawa Moe said this with obvious fear on his face. "They say it was done by the guy living in the forest."
"Hey, you just mentioned the guy who lives in the forest. Who is that?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but ask, "Can you explain it more clearly?"
"It's not a person, but a folk legend passed down from generation to generation." Chengshan Shuma explained.
"Folk legend!?"
Upon hearing this word, Toyama Heye on the side immediately exclaimed, with fear in his eyes.
There's no way around it. As someone who's afraid of ghosts, these kinds of legends and murders are just like ghost stories.
However, Chengshan Shuma didn't know what the little girl in front of him was thinking. Seeing everyone looking at him curiously, he organized his words and said, "Yes, I have wanted this legend since I was a child.
If you encounter one in the forest, don't look at it. If you can't avoid it, you will definitely suffer retribution.
