………

"You can't be that Lili Sanko, right?"

Faced with Taiyi's puzzled inquiry, the bespectacled man shook his head, and then said with an introduction in his mouth.

"No, my name is Tokubi Rokuro."

Taiyi didn't have the slightest interest in what this name was, mainly knowing that it didn't have much to do with today's events, so he concentrated on driving, but Conan next to him asked with a puzzled face.

"But isn't it a long distance from this station to the hotel?"

"I used to be a teacher at an elementary school in this neighborhood, and I've always liked it, taking a walk while enjoying the scenery around me, probably because of the lack of exercise recently, so it's not the same as before."

Seeing this, the bespectacled man shook his head and sighed a few times, and then continued.

"Later, after the school was abolished, I also resigned from my position and became an unknown painter."

"By the way, I'm sorry to hitchhike with you, but can I trouble you and take me to the grave by the way."

Looking at this bespectacled one, who had to inch in, Taiyi's voice unconsciously became louder, and he said in surprise.

"I have to run over and sweep the grave?!!"

Although he kept muttering in his mouth, looking at Xiaolan's pleading eyes, Taiyi sighed helplessly, and drove to the side of the road directly according to what he said with glasses.

After walking into a closed alleyway, I saw the person who took the lead in the front, and the bespectacled man explained.

"There was a child who was swept away by the water and drowned, and it was a child named Tatsuhiko Numayama who drowned, and I heard that it seemed to have been washed into a reservoir downstream."

After listening to what this person said, Xiaolan guessed a little confused.

"Do you think that person is the person who was killed in the homicide 11 years ago?"

"The homicide 11 years ago, the one you are talking about is not a homicide at all, it is actually an accident."

After hearing this, Taiyi, who was walking behind, nodded directly, obviously when he started, he guessed in his heart that there was nothing wrong, after all, for no reason, the person he met around here definitely had something to do with this murder, and he continued at this time.

"It was a guy who was still playing in the river, and it was washed away by the water, but that was more than ten years ago."

"Mr. Debei Rokuro?!!"

As soon as they reached the river, they saw a small mound of stones and realized that there was a man who had arrived earlier than them.

After discovering Taiyi and them coming, the little fat man greeted the bespectacled man in front of him, and it was obvious that the two people knew each other.

"Are you here to sweep the grave too?"

"That's right, because today happens to be his death day, so ~~~"

Looking at these two people, bowing to the small stone bag next to the river in a serious manner, Taiyi felt very strange.

"This grave you are talking about seems to be a little too simple, right?"

"Actually, the real tomb is not here at all, but somewhere else, and this is what his classmates helped him do when he passed away."

"There are no bones in it at all, only things that he used with nostalgic value, and of course I have also gone to his real current worship."

Looking at the pile of graves made by his classmates, Taiyi felt that the whole thing was very strange just after coming here.

"But why did you choose to be here?"

"This is because he was swept away by the river behind him, so he was drowned, which happened to be 11 years ago today."

"11 years ago today?"

After hearing this, Taiyi was completely sure of the things he had guessed in his heart, and it was obvious that the person who called them over was definitely a little impure in motives.

And if you follow what the letter says, the scene of the murder 11 years ago may be here, especially this place, the grave seems to be deliberately left behind and marked as the murder site.

“…… But how can you be sure that the man was swept away by the river? Wasn't the child in the reservoir downstream when he was found? ”

Although I don't know who this little ghost is Conan, the little fat man still said very kindly.

"Because we found his shoes, which were caught in the cracks in the rocks at the bottom of the river, probably when he was playing in the river, he was caught in his feet, and when his body couldn't move, the rain became heavier and heavier, and finally it was washed away by the rushing river."

"That's what the police who came here to investigate at the time said."

When he heard this, Taiyi felt more and more weird, and it was certain that when you were about it, it was definitely not as simple as an accident in their mouths.

Look at the leaves that are beginning to turn yellow now, Taiyi said playfully to the river in front of him.

"It's really a good nature, and you still run into the river to play in December?"

"It's strange about that, by the way, where were his shoes found?"

"It seems to be in the opposite rocky protrusion, and I think it should be around here."

Seeing that even after 11 years, this little fat man still remembers it very clearly, Taiyi touched his chin and followed them quietly.

"By the way, is that shoe still there? Where is it now? ”

"You said that shoe, in fact, it is in this dream, if you dig down, you should be able to find it quickly."

"Ahhh

At this moment, the little fat man who had been walking in front, that is, looking for the scene of the crime, and the one wearing glasses, I don't know if it was because he stepped on the air or his feet were too slippery, so he slipped directly into the river.

It's just that seeing the two of them sitting in the river, the water didn't reach their chests, Taiyi felt that this thing was a little too strange, this kind of water level can drown people?

“…… Fortunately, my paint is fine, but this sketchbook can't be used, and this incense is really distressing! ”

When the two of them were very embarrassed and climbed up from the river, they hurriedly searched for their backpacks, and found that some things were completely useless because they were soaked in water, and at the same time, they saw that the little fat man made a lucky look.

"Luckily, my bag is made of plastic, so it's almost not wet inside, and the pillows, towels, and Cokes are fine."

"What are you guys doing here?!!

At this time, a bald man suddenly came out, and when he saw someone by the river looking very angry, he ran over, but he saw the two of them with a puzzled face.

"I think I've seen you two somewhere?"

"That, I'm a friend of Tatsuhiko, and I came here to sweep the grave."

Unexpectedly, after saying this again, I saw that the bald whole person was like an explosion, and he was very angry.

"What kind of tomb sweeping is this? Listen to me, my children died 11 years ago, so forget about it! ”

"It was his son who died?"

Regarding this, everyone obviously didn't figure it out, and when they restarted the car and prepared to drive towards the hotel, Xiaolan really couldn't help the doubts in her heart.

"Is that gentleman the father of the deceased?"

"That's right, the owner of the inn we're going to now."

After hearing what he said with glasses, Taiyi felt that everything really came together, and now it can be said that the stage was set up by the person in the shadows, but no one knows how this script was staged.

"But why would the innkeeper be in that place?"

"I wonder if you've been watching there all along?"

After hearing what this little fat man guessed, everyone felt more and more weird, do you still need to monitor yourself after your son dies?

"What do you mean by surveillance?"

"Actually, the hotel has a very high platform, and if you look through a telescope from the small window on the top floor, you can see it at a glance."

…………………………………………

"No ?!!"

After coming to the hotel again, facing Taiyi's forced gaze, the waiter at the front desk flipped through the notebook in his hand again, and hurriedly shook his head and said.

"There really isn't a person named Lili Sanke who lives here, and I don't have the slightest record here."

"It's strange, it's obviously agreed to meet here tomorrow, how can you not find it? So have you heard about the murder that happened 11 years ago? ”

"Sorry, I really haven't heard of it yet."

Obviously, the waiter who came here was a newcomer who didn't know anything about what had happened long ago, but not necessarily anyone else.

"I've heard of it, and I've heard that the murderer was the kappa!"

Looking at the guy with curly hair who came out of nowhere, exuding terrifying rumors, Taiyi sighed helplessly.

The person who sent the letter to Kudo Shinichi definitely used a hidden name, but it was unclear who it was and who he was playing.

I didn't expect another one to pop up here, and the other guy obviously had something to do with what happened back then, and I don't know what this one thought, so I saw this curly-haired one, and pretended to be mysterious there.

"There are many legends about the kappa in the river, and 12 or 13 years ago, there were people who said they saw it with their own eyes, and people from TV stations and magazines came here to interview them."

"It was at that time that the child drowned in the river, so some people say that it was the poison of the kappa, and no one has seen the kappa since, and the place has become deserted."

"You wait a minute~~~"

Xiaolan, who was frightened by the fact that there was a monster in the river, suddenly remembered something at this time, and saw her hurriedly take out the letter, and said in her mouth.

"The Lili Sanke mentioned in this letter, this name, if you take these four words apart and then recombine them, isn't it ~~~"

"Kappa !!"

Taiyi also reacted at this time, but it was also confirmed from the side that what he had just speculated was not wrong at all, and the person who wrote the letter was definitely among this group.

"You people really believe in such a boring thing, if you mention these things again, about youkai, I'm going to kick you all out of this hotel."

Looking at this bald man, so angry, he didn't care about it, and pouted, because he knew that since Conan had come to this place, then this matter would never end because of this bald man's stop, but it would be the beginning of another.

“…… Where is it really? You said your phone fell on the river? ”

Originally, the time had come to the middle of the night, Taiyi didn't expect Xiaolan at all, and woke himself up directly, and said that his mobile phone had been dropped.

"When I was by the river, the garden just sent me a text message, and when I was answering, those two people fell into the river, so maybe it was at that time that the phone disappeared!"

Looking at Xiaolan with an anxious face, Taiyi cheered up and quickly drove the car to the small river where they had come in the morning, and then began to find the mobile phone that I didn't know where it was lost.

"We need to hurry up and find it, if the battery runs out, we won't be able to hear the sound of the phone calling, in this case, we won't be able to find it tomorrow."

"You're smart!"

Looking at Conan's triumphant appearance, Taiyi pouted helplessly, but I have to say that what he said did make some sense, but after coming here, he found that this place at night made people feel a little eerie.

"Looks like it's around here, right?"

"Then we might as well split up and find it, shall we?"

"I don't think so, do I?"

Hearing this, after Xiaolan's proposal, Taiyi thought about it and wanted to stop it, you know, they came here, but because they wanted to investigate the murder case, they must not relax so easily.

In addition, you only need to call to find it, and it is also a very simple thing, thinking of this, Taiyi directly called Xiaolan's mobile phone, and sure enough, I heard the sound of a mobile phone ringing by the river.

"Found it, it's here~~~"

Seeing Xiaolan running forward in a hurry, Taiyi followed slowly behind him, but he didn't expect that in the river, there were some strange sounds.

"What's this, what's this sound like?"

Xiaolan, who was originally frightened by the monster story during the day, now screamed in fright after seeing a strange figure on the other side of the river.
