Walking out of the room, Kudo Shinichi saw Takato who was sitting in the living room contemplating, and couldn't help but ask, "What is Mr. Akechi thinking?" ”

"No, nothing."

Hearing Kudo Shinichi's words, Takato came back to his senses from his thoughts, "What about you?" Did Chairman Wakura say anything? ”

Shinichi Kudo shook his head.

"President Wakura only said that he would attend the festival on time."

In this regard, Gao Yuan didn't say anything, but asked, "Do you want to talk about this matter?" ”

"Of course."

Kudo Shinichi said and walked out of the door of the villa.

Soon, after hearing that Hecang Yonghai was going to participate in the festival, many villagers came to the villa of the Hecang family, and it was noisy, and even the police officer Yicheng was also alarmed and came to maintain order.

The villagers shouted for Wakura to come out, warned him not to participate in the village festival, and told him to leave the village as soon as possible.

After hearing the noise at the door, Hecang Yonghai, who was basically in good health, walked down from the upper floor to check the situation.

In the face of the villagers' accusations, Hecang Yonghai didn't care.

"Is there a law that says you can't go?"

As he spoke, he turned and went upstairs.

These words obviously angered several villagers, and an old man with a bad temper immediately stepped forward and said angrily: "What! You're an outsider, and you're still arguing! ”

"Outlander?"

He Cang Yonghai stopped, as if to ask rhetorically, "Now I am the biggest landlord in the village." ”

"People like you will become a sacrifice of a big bird!"

The old man wanted to reprimand loudly, but was stopped by Tushi Yicheng.

"No matter who advises me, I will go to the festival."

"Understood, I'll protect you that day!"

Tushi Yicheng stopped the villagers and said to He Cang Yonghai, and then, He Cang Yonghai responded with "I'm sorry for you", and went upstairs without looking back.

And the villagers soon left the villa under the advice of Tushi Yicheng.

Gao Yuan was on the side, watching the farce of the villagers the whole time, and then walked to Kudo Shinichi, who had just returned from outside, and whispered, "Are you sure you want to do this?" ”

"Yes. The murder did not end, and the murderer's ultimate goal was not achieved. ”

Kudo Shinichi said.

"But it's clear that the killer is that person, isn't it?"

Gao Yuan said.

"That's right. But there is no evidence. ”

Kudo Shinichi said, "Moreover, this is also Mr. Wakura's expectation. ”

As he spoke, Kudo Shinichi recalled the conversation he had with Yukai Wakura in the room just now, as well as Mr. Kazukura's request.

"It's a festival that happens once every 300 years."

Gao Yuan said with some emotion, and then, he took out something like a remote control from his pocket, with only one button on it, and handed it to Kudo Shinichi.

"What is this?"

Kudo Shinichi took the thing and asked curiously.

"Signal jammer."

Gao Yuan said, "I don't know what the murderer's means of controlling the mechanism are, but if it is a wireless remote control, you can use this to interfere with the remote control signal." ”

This is made by Gao Yuan, who used the things he bought in the electrical appliance mall before coming to the Fifteen Nights Village.

"Since you want the murderer to show his feet, then with this thing, it should be safer."

Gao Yuan said.

"Mr. Wise, you're really well prepared."

Kudo Shinichi exclaimed, "But why did you prepare this in advance?" ”

"Nothing, just did it."

Gao Yuan said.

As for the flaws in the technique that he may have helped the murderer, he probably guessed the murderer's method before coming to the village, so he went to the electrical appliance mall to buy the materials in advance. I can't say anything like this!

Gao Yuan thought so, and then changed the subject.

"Regarding the izakaya chain under the Wakura Group, do you know who is in charge of the Wakura family now?"

Seeing that President Hekura Yonghai is now obsessed with the legend of the big bird, it is estimated that he should not have the leisure to manage these.

"I seem to have heard Miss Kotomi say that it is now a chain store in Mr. Ryoji's camp."

Kudo Shinichi recalled, "Why did Mr. Akechi ask this? ”

"It's not important, it's just that I accepted a commission before, and I have something to do with a chain of izakaya stores under the Wakura Group, so I stopped by and asked."

Gao Yuan didn't hide it, but he couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart: it was actually Ryoji Hekura.

On the day of the festival, the villagers gather at Mozutori Sho Shrine to prepare for a festival that occurs once every 300 years.

In addition to the original villagers, there were also the Wakura family, as well as Takato, Kudo Shinichi and others who were outsiders, and although the suspension bridge to the outside world had been repaired, everyone still chose to stay until today to participate in the festival.

As soon as noon arrived, the shrine suddenly sounded with a high flute.

In the open plaza in the center of the shrine, a group of villagers poured out from all sides, dressed in cloaks woven with black feathers and bird masks on their faces, dancing at the prayers of the old priest woman.

Soon, as if it was the end of the ceremony, everyone went to the cave deep in the shrine, led by the old woman.

Inside is an extremely empty field, with various symbols carved on the surrounding stone walls, and there are also divine perching trees and divine dwelling trees in the center, and the only light source here comes from a hole in the stone wall, from which the outside sunlight shines through.

Coming to the god perch here, the old woman of the shaman said to Wakura Yongkai, "Village Chief, it's your turn." ”

Because of his investment in the village and his contribution to the construction of facilities, Hekura Yonghai is the village chief of Fifteen Nights Village.

In response, Kazukura nodded and walked to the god perch, stepping on the cobblestone.

Then, the old woman of the shaman took out the unbroken ancient mirror that had been placed in Wakura Yongkai's study and placed it in a circular depression in the god's perch.

"Then, on behalf of the villagers, please hold the Divine Residence Tree, say your wishes, and pray with your heart for the arrival of the Great Bird God!"

So, Kazukura Yonghai resolutely hugged his hands on the tree of the god residence.

Seeing this, the villagers knelt down one after another, led by the old priest woman, and chanted an ancient incantation in their mouths.

Suddenly, as the spell progressed, the entire cavern began to dim, and the light shining from the hollow in the stone wall gradually dimmed until the entire cavern became completely dark.

Seeing this, it seemed that a total solar eclipse had taken place outside, and everyone was silent, and no one made a sound.

But soon, in such a quiet environment, if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of "click".

After a while, the sunlight shone out of the hole again, but here, it seemed that nothing had happened.

Tushi Issei stood in place, his right hand in his pocket still desperately pressing the remote control switch.

"Officer Tushi."

Gao Yuan walked behind Tushi Yicheng at some point, and said with a smile on his face, "No matter how much you press the button of that remote control, the Big Bird God will not come!" ”
