Shan Cun Cao thought that Chi Feichi was worried that they wouldn't be able to get out of the Toushen Forest, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, don't worry!" The stone statue you were about to hold was used to suppress the evil spirits, and it was fine if you didn't lift it up, but it is said that if you lift it up, it will attract evil spirits, so it has been falling there since the beginning! ”

Maoliran took a step back in fright.

Yamamura Cao smiled again and said, "Since we are all going to the Aoiya Hotel, then I'll take you for a ride!" ”

"No ......" Maori Kogoro just wanted to refuse, but Maori Lan had already swooped open the back door and sat down.

Yamamura Cao also got out of the car quickly, and in front of Gray Yuan's mourning, he seriously stretched out his hand and bowed, "Her Royal Highness Princess, please!" ”

Gray Plains: "......"

Is this officer really okay with his brain?

A group of people got into the car.

Mori Kogoro went to the passenger seat, Chi Feichi hugged Conan, and squeezed the back seat with Mori Lan and Gray Hara.

"Oops, I didn't expect to see the princess of the forest, I'm so lucky!" Yamamura continues to be excited.

"Actually, Xiao Ai is a sacrifice that is dressed up beautifully." Chi Feichi told a bad joke.

"Huh? Mr. Chi has also heard of that legend? Shan Mura Cao was a little surprised, and said to himself, "This is still what I heard from my grandmother, different from the fairy tales of foreign forest princesses, the legend of the forest princess here is that a long time ago, there was a little girl, who was used as a sacrifice, put on a gauze skirt like a rainbow, dressed up beautifully, and gave it to the evil god in the forest, and the little girl was eaten by the evil god that night, but her soul turned into a forest princess who fought against the evil god of the forest......"

Gray Plains looked sideways.

In other words, did Brother Fei Chi know this legend earlier......

Conan sideways.

And he dressed up like this......

Mori Kogoro looks sideways.

This kid......

Maolilan side-eyed.

It's a scary idea......

Chi Feichi: "......"

Is this a coincidence, believe it or not?

Sacrifices or something were just casual remarks he said.

"Mr. Chi can give his sister, I think the villagers here will thank you!" Yamamura said with a smile.

Chi Feichi lowered his head and asked Conan, who he was holding, "How many years will the police be sentenced?" ”

Conan: "......"

"Assault on the police?" Yamamura Cao took over, "I want to think about it......"

"Forget it, just say that the death sentence will be several years." Chi Fei is late.

"Is this...... That's murder," Yamamura Cao thought seriously, "It will be 15 years to be lenient, and it depends on whether it is a planned crime, whether the circumstances are bad enough, and whether there is a ...... to surrender."

"And what if you crush him to death with a stone statue that fell to the ground in front of him?" Chi Feichi asked.

"That's a bit bad," Yamamura said, "and it's not going to work, it's going to make the Jizo stone statue attach a ghost, and maybe some terrible youkai will be born......"

Maori Kogoro felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, even he understood what Chi Feichi meant, okay, there is such a police officer, he is really worried about the people of Gunma Prefecture, "Ahem, let's talk about that case." ”

"Ah, okay......" Yamamura turned to the case again.

Mori Kogoro listened quietly for a while, "Oh? The body was found by an employee of the Kuiya Inn? ”

"yes, I heard that the employee found it when he went to pick wild vegetables," Yamamura took it seriously, "but that corpse is very strange......"

Mao Lilan felt a little hairy behind him.

"Strange?" Mori Kogoro asked, "What's strange?" ”

"He had car keys on him, but he didn't have a driver's license," Yamamura recalled, "and he had cigarettes, but no lighters or matches, and he died in the summer wearing the same sweater he wore in the winter." ”

"How do you know he died in the summer?" Conan couldn't help but ask.

"Because the backpack on the deceased's back contained fresh milk and red bean packets," Yamamura replied, "The expiration date was exactly four years ago on July 12, and although the fresh milk and red bean packets in the backpack were broken when the deceased fell to the ground, there was still a receipt in the wallet for purchasing these things at a convenience store in the neighborhood, so it shouldn't be wrong!" ”

"Falling?" Mori Kogoro wondered.

"The deceased had a rope around his neck, and a branch with that rope tied to him," Yamamura said, "and the branch probably broke after the deceased hanged himself......"

"It sounds like it's just an ordinary suicide case...... "Kogoro Maori said, touching his chin.

Chi Feichi looked down at Conan and found that Conan was also looking up at him.

After checking the eyes, they are all people who have noticed that something is wrong.

Chi Feichi remembered that this was an incident, but he had a vague impression of the murderer.

However, judging from the description of Yamamura Cao, it can also be inferred that this person definitely did not commit suicide, even if it was suicide, after the person died, some people went to the corpse, took some things, and left something to confuse the time of death.

"yes," Yamamura agreed, agreeing with Mori Kogoro's reasoning, "so I'd like to ask the staff at the inn again if they know what's going on in those strange places, you?" Mr. Maori, why are you there? ”

"Oh, I ...... because the owner of the inn said he had seen the man in red with long hair."

Before Mori Kogoro finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yamamura Cao's exclamation.

"What?! When was that? ”

"He said it was in October, five years ago, when the man in the coat came to the hotel out of the blue and told the innkeeper......" Kogoro Mori recalled.

[I'll give you 100,000 yen, please help me keep this briefcase and this letter...... A year from now, even if I die, I'll come and get it! 】

"Briefcases and envelopes?" Conan wondered.

"Yes, the man seemed to tell him, 'In a year's time, if I come to pick it up, give me the briefcase, if someone else comes to pick it up, give him the envelope,' although I'm not sure if the body found was the man in the infrared condom, but ......," Mori Kogoro said with a touch of his chin, "He seems to have repeatedly told the innkeeper not to forget his infrared suit and long hair, so it shouldn't be wrong." ”

"What the hell is going on? In the autumn of five years ago, the man gave things to the innkeeper and said that he would come back to get them even if I died, and about a year later, in the summer, when he was going to come back here to get things, he committed suicide in the forest," said Yamamura, scaring himself, "haha...... That man is so stupid, how can he get things when he dies......"

"That's why the owner of that inn asked me to investigate!" Maori Kogoro couldn't help but yell, "Because he took the man's money and promised the man not to tell the police, he never said it." ”

"Uncle," Conan asked, aloud, "what about the briefcase?" Didn't anyone take it in the end? ”

"No, I heard that the day after the guy left his things at the innkeeper's place, there was a man who claimed to be his agent," said Mori Kogoro, "The man was wearing a hat and sunglasses, and his face was full of beard, although the boss was a little hesitant, but he still gave him the envelope according to the instructions of the man in red, but he took out the letter in the envelope and looked at it, so he angrily tore up the letter and threw it in the trash, and walked out of the hotel and never went back......"

"So, what's written on that note?" Yamamura asked, stammering.

"Hmm...... The innkeeper was also very concerned, so he picked up the pieces of paper from the trash can and pieced them together, and the letter had only seven words written on it, "Mori Kogoro's eyes under his sunglasses looked directly at Yamamura Cao," like seven red letters written in blood...... I'll curse you dead! ”

"Ahh Mao Lilan finally picked up the gray plain mourning beside him and screamed in surprise.

Gray Plains: "......"

She's really not a doll......

Yamamura was so frightened by the screaming that he almost overturned the car, and stopped with a sudden brake.

Mori Kogoro almost threw himself into the front window, sat up and said speechlessly, "Really, don't follow me if I'm afraid." ”

"It's okay," Conan reassured Maoriran, "just ask the boss to show us the briefcase, and we'll solve the mystery." ”

"Then, the ...... in that briefcase" Yamamura looked horrified, "It can't be that man's long hair, right?" ”

"Ah——!h Maoliran screamed again in fright.

"It could also be full of bottles, and the bottles are full of fingers or eyeballs." Chi Feichi said in a calm tone.

confirmed, it seems that Yamamura Cao is also a person who grew up in the horror stories of his grandparents......

Maoriran: "Ahhhh It's not Brother Chi, I hate it, don't say it again! ”

"Say no more." Gray Plains, who was tightly hugged by Mao Lilan, also said helplessly.

Chi Feichi: "......"

Well, he was going to tell a story about piecing together beauty skins and stuff like that......

……

Finally arrived at the hotel, a hotel employee helped Yamamura to park, and a group of people walked in to learn about the situation with Urakawa Eji, who found the body.

The body was found when Eiji Urakawa went to pick wild vegetables.

In this inn, the owners are Toda Fangrou, Urakawa Eiji, and Masao Kamibo, who went to park, and the three of them took turns picking wild vegetables.

Every summer before the summer vacation, the inn is closed and staff tours are held, and every time he comes back from a trip, Eiji Urakawa is responsible for picking wild vegetables, because many people come to this forest to commit suicide, and it is not the first time that Eiji Urakawa has found a body.

This time, when Eiji Urakawa found the body of the long-haired man in red, the body had become a pile of white bones.

"If there is a legendary princess of the forest, maybe our suicide situation here will be better......" Urakawa Etsuji looked at Gray Yuan Ai and couldn't help but sigh.

They are in dire need of a forest princess!

Gray Yuan silently hid behind Chi Feichi.

Why did she feel dangerous to stay here?

This group of people won't be unable to think about it for a moment and pull her to sacrifice, right?

It's better to follow their violent responsibilities and not be left alone.

Maori Kogoro didn't say anything, looking at his apprentice who broke cement poles with his bare hands, there was no need to worry, "Since it's suicide, it seems that I don't need to appear......"

"Huh?" Urakawa Yongji wondered, "Isn't this gentleman wearing sunglasses a police officer?" ”

"Ah, no," Yamamura Cao immediately introduced, "This is a detective who will be terrified even if even children want to hide something!" He ......"

"It's Mr. Kogoro Mori's companion, isn't it?" Urakawa Yongji smiled, "Mr. Mori seems to have said that he would bring four more people over, and we have been waiting for the driver for a long time!" ”

Maori Kogoro was stunned, "Companion? ”

"No, you're mistaken," Yamamura said, "this is ......"

"Mr. Maori arrived one step ahead of you, and he's waiting for you in his room!" Urakawa Yongji said excitedly.
