When Takato and Koizumi Hongko left Okuho University Hospital, they drove to a small town near Okuho Town according to the direction that Hidedate Esuke said.

The view here is quite narrow, because the town is surrounded by two hills, and the environment is very natural, and you can hear the birdsong in the mountains.

But because it was so quiet, and there was almost only one main road along the way, and there were no chaotic paths, Takato quickly found his destination, Yamauchi Toda's home.

At this time, there was not only yellow tape attached to the door of the house, but also a police car parked next to it. However, in addition to the police car, there is also a very familiar silver "Nissan Skyline", which is also parked with the police car.

Seeing this, a faint smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of Gao Yuan's mouth-

It seems that I have met an old acquaintance!

In this regard, Gao Yuan directly took out his mobile phone and dialed the mobile phone number of Officer Takagi -

"Hey, Officer Takagi."

"Mr. Wise? What's the matter with you? ”

After the call was connected, Gao Yuan first said hello, and then Takagi's puzzled voice came from the phone.

"Ah, that's right. I'm in Okuho right now, and I just saw your car and the house that was fenced off by the police...... I would like to ask, do you need help? ”

Gao Yuan looked at the silver "Nissan Skyline" at the door and couldn't help but say.

"Ah......h

"That's right, Mr. Wise come in now!"

On the phone, after hearing Wataru Takagi's obvious hesitation, Miwako Sato's affirmative voice soon came.

In this regard, Gao Yuan is not much surprised.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuan parked the car outside the door, and was ready to get out of the car-

"Miss Koizumi, are you ...... Want to follow up? ”

Before Gao Yuan was about to enter the scene, he couldn't help but ask Koizumi Hongzi-

After all, in terms of Koizumi Hongzi's identity, it has nothing to do with the case.

"Of course."

Koizumi Hongzi said with great certainty:

"'The gift comes after reasoning'...... Although I don't know exactly what happened, I don't think I'm wrong about today's prediction. ”

Saying this, Koizumi Hongzi also got out of the car and followed Takato into Yamauchi's Toda's house-

Although it is considered to be in Tokyo, it has a strong rural atmosphere, so the land price here should not be too expensive. But even so, after walking through the gate, Takato was still surprised to see the entire footprint of the Yamauchi house, which was almost the size of a football field.

"That's right, I know."

Before Takato and Koizumi Hongzi walked through the path in the backyard of the door, Takato saw that Miwako Sato had already walked towards the door from the main house inside, and said hello to Takato-

"That 'Forgotten Detective' has just been plotted here, and I wondered if the wise gentleman who knew her well would come over to help her take revenge, but I didn't expect to come so soon."

Miwako Sato said, seeing Koizumi Hongzi who came in with Takato, and asked with a little doubt:

"This is ......"

"Miss Koizumi Hongzi is also a detective."

Faced with the inquiry, Gao Yuan replied naturally, and this answer immediately blocked Miwako Sato's mouth, leaving her with nothing to continue to ask.

"But, Officer Sato."

Seeing that Miwako Sato didn't continue to say anything, Takato asked first:

"So, you also know about Miss Jinzi being given sleeping pills?"

"En......"

Miwako Sato nodded, and couldn't help but say embarrassedly:

"I'm ashamed to say that Takagi and others were investigating here at the time, but I didn't expect that someone would put sleeping pills on the detectives involved in the investigation under the nose of the police...... That's why we decided to keep everyone in the house under control. But then again, if you hadn't heard the other officers of the Metropolitan Police Department mention this 'Forgotten Detective' a long time ago......

"But as soon as she is put to sleep, she forgets everything...... The suspect would do that...... This kind of thing, how can a suspect believe this kind of argument when they meet for the first time? ”

"Maybe it's possible that the suspect knew Miss Kwako beforehand?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but raise a possibility, and then replied affirmatively:

"But in this way, it should be certain that Miss Kyoko must have investigated something before, and the suspect must be in this family!"

In this regard, Miwako Sato agreed, and guided Takato and Koizumi Hongko towards the main house-

"Hello? When did I become a detective? I said it in advance, I don't know anything about reasoning and solving crimes! ”

On the way, Koizumi Hongzi seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Takato's name for him.

"Divination Detective...... Or the Witch Detective...... Don't you think it's right for you? ”

Gao Yuan couldn't help but jokingly explain this, and Koizumi Hongzi really thought about it seriously after listening to these two titles, and couldn't help but feel a little satisfied, so he couldn't help but smile proudly:

"Well...... If you want me to do a divination on the case, then there is no way...... However, without inspiration, I can't do divination! ”

Hearing Koizumi Hongzi say this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile, but he was a little helpless in his heart-

Speaking of which, acting with Koizumi Hongzi today, it always feels like this world is a little magical.

After all, the contract in the dream world is still a little difficult to accept when it becomes a prophecy of reality.

What exactly is the so-called dream trial, judging from Koizumi Hongzi's statement, she should not know the so-called dream realm. In this case, if you want to get the answer, you must also get the "world"!

Thinking like this, Takato and Koizumi Hongko, led by Miwako Sato, came to the main house.

It is a large house with traditional Japanese home architecture everywhere, but the balcony and the second floor are Western-style.

Through the back door, there is a vast natural lawn courtyard.

There is a cherry blossom tree planted in one corner of the garden, and behind the tree is the annex where the crime occurred.

The entire house is surrounded by farmland and forests, so the nearest neighbor's house is more than 20 meters away, and the neighbor's house is not much larger than the Yamauchi house. I want to come to the hidden hall to mow the courtyard alone in this kind of place, and the amount of work is not small.

"Who are the people who live here?"

Takato came to the other house and asked Miwako Sato first.

"The deceased, his wife and his daughter lived here. There is also a younger brother and nephew who used to live in the next town, but because of the renovation of the house, they also moved here two months ago and lived here temporarily. ”

Miwako Sato's eyes looked in the direction of the main house, and she couldn't help but sigh:

"Obviously, the head of the family was killed right under his nose, but the people in the main house said that they didn't notice anything abnormal."

"Is there anyone suspicious?"

Takato continued to ask.

"It's hard to say ......"

Miwako Sato waved her hand helplessly and said:

"After all, everyone who lives here has the opportunity to enter the house...... And the original discoverer of the corpse, the man named Yinguan, was the most suspicious. However, the time of the deceased's death was presumed at eleven o'clock yesterday morning, and the 'Forgotten Detective' had already ascertained his alibi by questioning the testimony of his next-door neighbor.

The deceased's daughter and nephew testified to each other that they were watching TV in the kitchen with each other at the time. However, the deceased's brother and wife did not have an alibi. Although it cannot be ruled out that outsiders committed the crime, judging from the matter of sleeping pills, the suspect should be one of the several people at the scene. And if you only consider the wife and younger brother who don't have an alibi, the younger brother will be a little more suspicious. ”

"Well...... With such an exaggerated hole, it is obvious that a man will be a little more likely......"

When he came to the other room, he looked at a hole in the wall, and Gao Yuan looked at this somewhat impactful scene, and couldn't help but say-

The height of the whole cave is slightly shorter than Gao Yuan's height, but the width is tens of centimeters longer than the height, one is two meters, and the whole shape is slightly inclined oval.

With such a large hole, it is completely impossible for the site to become a secret room.

But why make the hole so wide?

Looking at the wooden fragments scattered under his feet, and the condition that the incision of this hole was full of burrs, Gao Yuan judged that the person who opened the hole should be a layman-

But in this case, why did the other party go to such great lengths to open the hole so wide?

Puzzled, Miwako Sato walked through the big hole in the wall and entered the other room, and Takato followed in, but Koizumi Hongko looked inside outside the house and didn't follow up.

The room is probably a single room less than 20 meters long and wide, with no wallpaper or carpet, and it is an extremely simple room.

On the wall directly opposite the entrance to the cave there was a door and a window.

The floor in front of the door was strewn with green paint, and a jar fell next to it.

On the right wall is a shelf for various tools, and on the ground next to it is a chainsaw.

There is an air conditioner on the wall on the left, and a table against the wall below.

Tools were scattered in the center of the room, along with a table that had not yet been made. And on this table, a human figure is drawn with white lines, and there is a russet mark next to it-

Did the dead die on this?

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan looked at this strange crime scene and always felt very disagreeable......
