Gao Cheng looked around the messy room, and there were still black bloody footprints on the floor, which did look like a robber killing someone.

I heard that it happened to rain on the day of the murder a year ago, but there were only footprints left around Hihara's house.

"Are these footprints all prisoners?"

"Yes," said the policeman, strangely, "the prisoner's shoes were left behind by stepping on the blood of the village chief's wife, who had been killed in the middle of that staircase, and walking around the room...... Didn't you know before? ”

"Well, I kind of forgot what happened a year ago."

Gao Cheng smiled and looked at the stairs outside the room.

There were indeed quite striking blood stains on the floor, and the footprints continued to the balcony on the second floor, which was erected on the cliff behind the villa, below which was where the village chief Hihara fell to his death, and beyond was the lake, about 30 meters away.

"Footprints turn back here on the balcony......"

Gao Cheng squatted on the balcony to check the footprints.

It seems that the prisoner chased him to the balcony and pushed the head of Hihara Village down.

But it's strange that if it's a robber, the order is a little out of order.

There was only one part of the footprint, the entrance, the downstairs room, and the balcony on the second floor, and the rest of the place was gone, which means that the prisoner had rummaged through the other rooms beforehand, and then killed the village chief's wife on the stairs, and chased the village chief to the balcony......

Gao Cheng silently checked the other rooms with his hands in his hands.

There were also several rooms on the second floor that had been turned into a mess, one of which appeared to be a furnishing room, and there were medals on the table without straps.

"When he was young, the village chief Hihara used to be a track and field backup athlete for the Olympic Games," the police uncle explained, recalling, "I remember that at that time, you seemed to have quickly discovered the problem after turning around here, and you immediately saw through the modus operandi and solved the ......case wonderfully."

This will make the police uncle feel more and more wrong, and feel that the teenager in front of him is not the incredible high school detective at all.

But who will be full of food and pretend to be Shinichi Kudo? In order to investigate the case?

"yes."

Gao Cheng chuckled and looked at Conan.

"I've come back to it, and there really was no problem with the reasoning from a year ago......"

"No problem?" Yuan Zi Xiaolan looked at each other, "But how can the people in the village think of discrediting the village chief?" He also said that Kudo was a liar......"

"Of course."

Gao Cheng's eyes fell on a bronze statue of Nioh on the table, as a role like a second general of Hum Ha, he had an understanding, what remained at the scene was the Hum statue, but the matching Ha statue was nowhere to be found, at least it was not found in the display room.

"What's missing in this house?" Gao Cheng asked the police uncle, "Ha Xiang is gone, right?" ”

"Uh," the police uncle was stunned, "it's the statue and the wife's jewelry......"

"Huh?" Xiaolan was surprised, "Are there two bronze statues here?" ”

"Yes, the Ha statue disappeared on the day of the crime, because it is the work of a famous carver in the Edo period, and I heard from the head of Hihara Village that one is worth 5 million, so everyone thinks it was stolen."

"But, isn't it strange? Why take only one? Obviously, the two are more valuable together......"

"This," the police uncle looked at Gao Chengdao, "I didn't listen to the reasoning process, so I don't know very well, but the original incident was indeed not a robber murder, the officers believed it very much, and what was not seen was ......"

"Found it in the lake in the back, right?" Gao Cheng interrupted, "I've almost figured it out, there are no robbers in this house to break into the house and kill people, it was just an illusion from the beginning, and there are bloody footprints in the messy room, including the footprints left outside the house at that time......"

"Really?" Xiaolan Yuanzi was surprised, and Conan also glanced at Gao Cheng unexpectedly.

"The messy room on the second floor was like this before the killing, and the murderer met the village chief's wife when he went downstairs, and then destroyed the room on the first floor...... It's really strange if it was an outsider who committed the crime, and then the footprints went straight to the balcony on the second floor, not so much that the village chief was forced to the balcony by the murderer, but that the village chief was the murderer himself, at least from the scene......"

Gao Cheng analyzed: "The only doubt may be the disappeared murder weapon, as well as jewelry and antiques...... I just saw it in the big tree room, there are 9 rings of the ring game in the room, but from the marking, it seems that there are 10 of them, if it wasn't for the big tree to lose it, it would be quite a year ago, and the murderer stole a ring, plus a single bronze statue that is too heavy although it is worth a lot of money......"

"The situation is obvious, I want to disguise myself as a robber to kill people, but I can't take away the jewelry and tools, I can only throw them into the lake behind, 30 meters away, although it is incredible, but use a chain ball, put the things that need to be handled, the bronze statue as a heavy object, the murder weapon, the gems and the blood-stained shoes are all put in the bag, the ferrule is used as a handshake, the belt of the gold medal is tied to the bag as a rope, and the chain ball is thrown from the balcony to the lake by throwing the chain ball......"

"Judging from the results, it seems that the head of Hihara Village, who used to be an athlete, has sat down."

"That's right, everything has been found in the lake......" The policeman looked at Gao Cheng, who was talking eloquently, a little confused.

I thought that this young man who looked like Kudo Shinichi was someone else at all, but there was indeed a sudden deducing of the truth......

"The head of the village of Hihara disguised himself as a robbery and murder in order not to let the big tree know, and after solving the case, for the sake of the big tree, he didn't tell the people in the village at that time...... Unexpectedly, it caused trouble. ”

Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, completely forgetting that she wanted to teach Kudo a lesson on the way, and said happily: "I knew that Shinichi would not be wrong, this is really good!" ”

Gao Cheng smiled, but his brows did not loosen.

It's not settled yet......

The events of the year were no problem, but this time there is a problem.

It's Makoto Yada, who sent a letter, but disappeared half a year ago......

After having dinner at the policeman's uncle's house in the afternoon, Gao Cheng avoided the two gardens and went to the forest with Conan for an appointment.

"Makoto Yada is a fan of yours?" Gao Cheng walked behind Conan into the forest, "No wonder his room is full of information about you...... But why did he ask you to meet in the forest? ”

"Well," Conan said with a smile, "Actually, Yada's father and son both played the 'Dead Luo God' in this forest, because 9 years ago, Yada Makoto's sister accidentally got lost in the forest and was killed, so Yada's father began to pretend to be a monster and scary to prevent any more children from breaking into the forest and having an accident, but 3 years ago, Yada's father died, and Yada took over as the 'Dead Luo God'......

"I found out a year ago when I went to the forest to investigate......"

"Is it the cabin in the letter?"

Gao Cheng looked at the surrounding woods in his heart, and stepped up to keep up with Conan.

"In other words, Makoto Yada, who disappeared for half a year, has been living in the forest......"

"Well, that's right," Conan coughed twice and continued to lead the way, "The police should have told Yada the truth a year ago, so I'm very strange and don't know what went wrong." ”

"Probably two possibilities, either he doesn't know at all, or he really has disappeared, and someone else is looking for you, and it's someone who knows Makoto Yada quite well......"

"Joto."

Conan stopped suddenly.

"I still don't think there's any need to involve you, it's too dangerous for you to look like this if anyone wants to deal with me......"

"What are you talking about?" Gao Cheng smiled, "If you come alone, they will split me in the garden." ”
