Chapter 664 It was that boy who made me do this
He was distracted by the walkie-talkie on the table, and someone took the opportunity to lock the door.
Conan was trapped inside the cabin.
...
In the hotel where they were staying.
After the doorbell rang, Chizuru got up to open it and saw Kogoro Mouri and the others together.
"What's wrong?" Qianzhu asked, slightly puzzled.
"Chizuru, is Conan here? I was just about to go check if his cold is better, but I didn't see him in the room," Ran Mouri asked worriedly.
Upon hearing this, Qianzhu was taken aback. "Isn't Conan in his room?"
"He's not in his room. I wonder where he's gone again." Ran Mouri's expression instantly became more worried. "This guy's still sick from his cold, and he's running around again."
"Then let's go look for it."
Qianzhu put the book she was holding aside, put on her shoes, and went out to search for Conan with them.
They asked the hotel staff, but they all said they had not seen a seven-year-old boy wearing glasses.
After asking the villagers, they learned that the boy they were talking about had run into the forest alone.
"What was he doing running into the forest? Did he write something in his letter telling him to go there?" Hattori Heiji pondered as he searched, then looked at the boy beside him. "Do you think that's possible?"
Qianzhu glanced at him and nodded slightly. "It's very possible."
“A naked man was pulled out of the river over there. My mom went back to get him a blanket.”
Just as Hattori Heiji was about to speak again, the villagers next to him spoke to their companions first.
Upon hearing this news, Ran Mouri and the others' first thought was that it was Conan, but after asking, they learned that it was a young man.
Since it was a plot point, Qianzhu followed them to the riverbank.
However, those who saw it were somewhat shocked.
Looking at the 'Shinichi Kudo' who was pretending to have amnesia and remember nothing, Chizuru stood at the back of the crowd, her eyes flashing slightly.
Heiji Hattori, one of only two people in the group who knew that Shinichi Kudo was Conan, took on the responsibility of helping him conceal his identity. He then made an excuse to tell them not to worry about Conan and took 'Shinichi Kudo' back to the hotel and changed his clothes.
Chizuru glanced at Hattori Heiji, who was on the phone with Professor Agasa, and then her gaze shifted to the room next door.
"Get some rest early tonight, we have to go back to Beika Town early tomorrow morning." After hanging up the phone, Hattori Heiji suddenly turned to look at the others.
"Going back tomorrow? Didn't you say you were going to stay for two or three days?" Toyama Kazuha asked in surprise.
Heiji Hattori paused for a moment, then quickly made an excuse, "Because I think it would be better to take Kudo to the hospital to get checked out as soon as possible, right?"
"In that case, why not just take him to the crime scene from a year ago? Maybe he'll remember something."
After thinking for a moment, Toyama Kazuha suddenly made a suggestion with some excitement.
Hattori Heiji, who was about to politely decline, thought about it again and realized it made a lot of sense. So he took Kudo Shinichi, who had already changed his clothes, to the crime scene from a year ago.
The crime scene a year ago was actually the home of the former village chief, the village chief of Riyuan.
They inspected the items that had been left behind in the lobby.
They then went to the room of the adopted son of the village chief of Hihara, Makoto Yata. In his room, there was a large photograph of Shinichi Kudo, and the shelves were full of cases that Shinichi Kudo had handled.
"I want to stay here and calm down; maybe I'll remember something."
The amnesiac Shinichi Kudo makes a request.
The important thing now is to help him regain his memory, so everyone readily agreed.
After everyone returned to the hall, Chizuru, who was at the very back, suddenly stopped, turned around and went back to Makoto Yata's room. He put his hand on the doorknob and gently opened the door.
While searching for the gun he had hidden earlier, Makoto Yata's hand trembled, and he quickly hid the gun again. Then he sat on the edge of the bed and pretended to be dejected.
After gently closing the door, Qianzhu looked up at him with a gentle smile on her face.
He stepped up to Shinichi Kudo, suddenly cupped his cheeks in his hands, and asked softly with a smile, "Have you really lost your memory?"
"Or rather... are you really Shinichi Kudo?"
'Shinichi Kudo's' pupils trembled slightly, then he continued to look at him with a bewildered expression, as if he couldn't understand what he was saying.
Qianzhu gently patted his face and said softly, "I don't care who you are, but what's important is that I know what you want to do."
He reached under the pillow on the bedside table and calmly pulled out the pistol.
Under Shinichi Kudo's astonished gaze, Chizuru gently placed the pistol in his hand and then smiled slightly at him.
Before leaving the room, he suddenly turned back and said to 'Shinichi Kudo', "If you're going to harm someone, why not be more ruthless? After all, that would make the crime more convincing, wouldn't it?"
'Shinichi Kudo', or rather, Makoto Yata who had plastic surgery to look like Shinichi Kudo, looked down at the gun in his hand. After a moment of stunned silence, his eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness. He placed the pistol on his person and adjusted his emotions to ensure that he appeared to others as a famous detective suffering from amnesia.
Before leaving, female reporter Kawauchi Fukasato left Yada Makoto with these words: "Look at your face, do you think you can fool me? If you are truly ready to confess everything, please come to the Koto Hotel where I am staying now. The key is the things you want to hide, the truths that absolutely cannot be told."
Qianzhu stood aside, looking completely indifferent.
The next morning, Heiji Hattori discovered that Shinichi Kudo was no longer there, and the bed was cold.
They then learned from the villagers that he had gone to the house of the village chief of Nihara.
So they packed up and headed over, but Qianzhu didn't go with them, citing feeling unwell, and stayed at the inn instead.
They resolved the case of Shinichi Kudo being a murderer in less than half a day.
Makoto Yata believed Chizuru's words and indeed plunged a dagger into the heart of Kawachi Fukasato. By the time Hattori Heiji and the others arrived early in the morning, she was already lifeless.
Makoto Yata, who had set out this "do or die" plan, revealed to everyone present after his suicide attempt failed—
"No! I didn't mean to kill her! It was that boy who made me do it!" He couldn't accept the truth, so he desperately wanted to drag someone down with him.
