This suspension bridge located on the mountainside is the only passage to the outside world of Shiya Village, and the temporary base of the Metropolitan Police Department police is in the village at the foot of the mountain.

"It's too late!"

Kudo Shinichi said angrily.

"But, Shinichi, how did you know there was a problem here at the drawbridge?"

Xiaolan asked curiously.

"When you said you couldn't get through, it occurred to me that the murderer was planning to trap us all in the village until the serial killings were over!"

"All? Will anyone still be killed? ”

Listening to the words of the finished vine, Xiaolan was surprised.

Kudo nodded, took out the pieces he had just picked up, and said, "Yes." Until the pieces are together! ”

Back in front of the god habitat at the ruins, everyone in the villa also rushed over at this moment, and together with them, there were several village names, as well as the old woman with great prestige in the village, and now the only policeman in the village, Tushi Issei was also called to the scene.

Seeing Ryoji Kazukura dying on the Kamisuki, the youngest daughter and Misa Kurakura leaned on the bodies of the eldest sister and Kotomi Kura, crying and shouting the name of "Ryoji".

Kudo, who returned here, looked at everyone, and still told the matter of the suspension bridge, and said in surprise: "So, we can't leave the village?" ”

Tushi Yicheng also added at this time: "Even the wireless intercom in the village duty station has been destroyed. Phones are also not available. ”

"Even a walkie-talkie?"

Kudo Shinichi asked in some surprise.

"This is, the curse of the big bird!"

The old woman looked sternly at the few people of the Wakura family and said, "The big bird god is angry! Quick, get out of the village! ”

"That's right! Let's go now! ”

Several villagers chimed in, "Don't anger the Great Bird God anymore!" ”

As he spoke, he surrounded the three sons and daughters of the Kura family in the middle and blamed.

"Please calm down!"

Tushi Yicheng stepped forward to reassure: "The suspension bridge and the telephone, we will find a way to repair it, now please go home quickly!" In short, just in case, don't go it alone, please act collectively, please cooperate! Please, everybody! ”

Under the persuasion of Tushi Yicheng, the excited villagers were able to settle down and slowly left the scene and went back to their respective homes.

Looking at the corpse that was still left on the god perch, and Ryoji Kukura, Kudo Shinichi was a little strange - why did Mr. Ryoji come here so late? And what does the sound of a bird's song heard in the villa have to do with the way of killing?

Back in the villa, Fei Mi listened to Xiaolan's narration and said: "The suspension bridge is hanging at the other end of the village, which indicates that the murderer burned the suspension bridge in the village." In other words......"

"That's right. The murderer is still in the village. ”

Kudo Shinichi said.

"Who's next?"

Yoichi Kazukura sat on the sofa, tensing his nerves.

"Who could it be?"

said another sentence and looked at Kotomi Kazukura on the side, "Consistent with the threatening letter, maybe the next ......"

"It's me, or Brother Yangyi......"

With a trembling tone, Kotomi Kamakura said, looking at Misa Wakura who was standing aside at this time, "Misa, maybe it's you." ”

Looking at the three people who were guessing at each other at this time, Kudo stepped forward and asked, "After dinner, that is, at nine o'clock in the evening, Mr. Ryoji was still in the villa at that time, and everyone saw it." Xiaolan and I went out for a walk and found the body at eleven o'clock. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the people in the living room and asked:

"Two hours between nine and eleven o'clock in the evening, I would like to confirm your alibi."

"Alibi?"

When Kudo said this, Yoichi Kazukura was a little excited, "Do you suspect that one of us killed Ryoji?" ”

"Mr. Yoichi, is it possible that you have something unspeakable?"

Kudo asked back, making Yoichi Kazukura even more excited, "What nonsense." ”

Seeing this delicate development, Suzuki Sonoko spoke up, wanting to break the current atmosphere.

"Around ten o'clock, I chatted with Xiaolan and Auntie, and then I slept very deeply."

"Where did you get an alibi!"

Kotomi Wakura suddenly shouted, "We're just in our room!" ”

Yoichi Kazukura and Misa Wakura also nodded at this.

"If that's the case, so is Daddy!"

The words were astonishing, and Kotomi Wakura said, "There is no alibi!" ”

There was a sudden silence in the living room, and Kudo Shinichi didn't continue to ask about it, and then the conversation changed.

"So, does Mr. Ryoji have a grudge against anyone or something?"

"Although all kinds of things have happened, I don't think I can hate it to the point of being killed."

"But isn't there a loan? After Ryoji became independent, although he ran his family's chain store and other restaurants, he did not do well. I don't know exactly how much I borrowed. ”

As soon as Yoko finished speaking, Kotomi added.

"That's better than raising a man who is good for nothing."

In response to Kotomi's interjection, Yoichi replied, "I heard that the other party is a musician who is not very popular. ”

"So what!"

Qin Mei asked rhetorically, "It's better than Brother Yoichi who wants to make some pocket money online, but he loses too much money by speculating in foreign exchange, and he has to go to his father to cry!" ”

"Don't talk about either of you!"

Seeing the two of them who were tense, Misa Kamakura whispered to stop them.

"But the death of Mr. Kosaka and Ryoji is indeed a happy thing for Brother Yoichi."

Kotomi ignored Misa and continued.

"What do you say? It's the same for Kotomi! ”

Yoichi retorted.

"Please! Stop arguing! ”

Meisa couldn't stand it, so she came to the middle of the two to dissuade her, so Yoichi and Kotomi went back to the room angrily.

Seeing this, Kudo did not continue to ask, but took the fragments of Ryoji's scene and put them together with the fragments of the previous Kosaka scene, and the broken corners could be tightly closed together to form a semicircular object.

Seeing this, Fei Miao, Xiaolan and Yuan Zi all came up to see it in some surprise.

"It's ......"

Looking at the patterns formed together, Kudo thought about it, while Xiaolan looked at it, pointed out one of the patterns that looked like people, and said, "This is ...... Man, are you running? ”

"What does this painting mean?"

Kudo was puzzled, but his attention was focused on the two symbols in the corner, "What kind of text symbol does it look like." ”

"If it's some kind of ancient script, my dad has a book on it in his study."

Hearing Kudo's words, Misa Wakura spoke up.

So, under the leadership of Misa Wakura, Kudo and others came to the study of the villa. Looking at the various books related to legends and ruins in the study, Kudo suddenly remembered what he said to Yukai Kura when he entered Mozu Sho Shrine: "It's quite similar to the legends in the Mayan civilization and the ruins of Fobina." ”

Immediately, Kudo immediately found books on this subject. Soon, I found the same content as the symbol on the fragment, and also knew the meaning of these two symbols: "betrayal" and "curse"!
