"However, it is not an order of magnitude difficulty to make a simple modification of the rock and create a large boulder ruin. Even if the island was able to transform those rocks before, it would not be so simple to build a megalithic ruin......

Heiji Hattori still insisted on his point of view, saying:

"By the way, in addition to the traces of man-made carvings in the 'Giant Rock', what have you found about the so-called 'eyes are higher than the giants, and the three giants are combined into one' in the legend?"

Because I felt that at present, just the discovery that the three "Giant Rocks" may have been artificially excavated and transformed into three stone statues facing east did not help much for the content mentioned in the legend, so curious, Hattori Heiji turned to ask about this.

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and responded:

"Not to mention how to 'combine the three different boulders on this island' into one, that is, 'eyes are higher than giants', I don't understand what this means for the time being......

And in the same way, Koshisui Nanatsuki has a similar idea.

"So, as far as we are concerned, we have not made any real progress......"

Listening to such a response, Tokitsu Junya couldn't help but conclude like this.

"Indeed."

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nod and said:

"Then it seems that maybe we'll have to continue investigating tomorrow. Not only the underwater ruins, but perhaps we also have to take a boat to see if the back side of the 'Giant Rock' in the east is also as we expected, and there are traces of man-made modification on the east-facing side. ”

In this regard, listening to Gao Yuan's words, everyone's thoughts seemed to be the same, so in the end, for the current situation, everyone decided to go to sea again tomorrow.

This time, even Takato and Nanatsuki are planning to go to sea together, on the one hand, to confirm the condition of the "Giant Rock" in the east, and on the other hand, to get close to the underwater ruins and investigate them carefully.

Immediately, just like that, after roughly sharing some of their gains today and discussing tomorrow's itinerary, everyone began to chat casually in this hotel-

"But speaking of which, I obviously said that everyone was going to have a reasoning competition this time, but I didn't expect that now we can actually sit here and discuss intelligence together......"

At this time, Koshisui Nanatsuki propped one hand on the table, looked around at several detectives present, and finally fixed his gaze on Gao Yuan's side, and couldn't help but say:

"I have to say, Mr. Wise is really out of sight! If I'm a novice who has only solved more than 100 incidents, I wouldn't dare to casually take out the clues I found and discuss them with you. ”

As she was talking, Tokitsu Runya, who was sitting opposite her, chuckled and couldn't help but say:

"Really? Only about 100 pieces are indeed novices. There are about 300 incidents that Xiao Sheng has dealt with, and many of them are concentrated in the last year when he traveled to Shikoku......"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji on the side couldn't help but speak, and said with a slightly meaningful expression:

"So? What happened to me ...... resolved?"

As he spoke, he saw Hattori Heiji snapping his fingers as if he was calculating, and then he seemed to be smiling bitterly but more in a show-off smile:

"Ah, it's probably more than a thousand, and I can't count them at all......"

"Huh? A thousand pieces! Really? ”

Suddenly, hearing Hattori Heiji say this, Nanatsuki Koshisui couldn't help but praise in surprise.

"That's amazing......"

Sighing slightly, Shi Jin Runya couldn't help but be surprised.

As for Takato, he was not surprised at all by Hattori Heiji to say such a statement, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't say anything.

After all, this statement, in Gao Yuan's impression, was there in the original work-

"Now, the ...... of Pingji"

And in this regard, it was the distant mountains and leaves beside Hattori Heiji who looked dazed, and whispered puzzled:

"More than a thousand? When have you broken so many eucalyptus? ”

Thinking back carefully about his past with Hattori Heiji, as his childhood sweetheart, Toyama and Leaf, I can't imagine how Hattori Heiji could have been involved in so many eucalyptus situations.

In this regard, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but smile and explained:

"Of course there is! If you count the incidents of me helping people find lost cats when I was a child......"

"Forehead ......"

For a while, when he heard Hattori Heiji say this, both Koshisui Nanatsuki and Tokitsu Junya, who were originally surprised, couldn't help but freeze their expressions, among them, Koshisui Nanatsuki showed a helpless wry smile on his face, and Tokitsu Junya couldn't help but glance at Hattori Heiji.

However, after the three of them introduced the cases they had participated in, they all turned their eyes to the last detective who did not open his mouth at the same time-

"Then again, how many incidents has Mr. Wise been involved in?"

Nanatsuki asked with some curiosity.

In this regard, in the face of the gaze of the three people, Gao Yuan was embarrassed not to answer, so after thinking about it roughly, he replied casually:

"Dozens."

"Alas, so little?"

Somewhat surprised, Nanatsuki Koshisui couldn't help but ask in surprise.

At the same time, Hattori Heiji and Tokitsu Junya's eyes looking at Takato were also a little curious.

"Because, it didn't take long for me to actually start working as a detective."

Takato explained.

"Hmph, that's the case......"

In this regard, listening to this explanation, Tokitsu Junya couldn't help but say:

"I've only recently started working as a detective, so I've never heard of this name before."

"That's right......"

Listening to this answer, Nanatsuki Koshisui continued to ask:

"But then again, as Hattori-san said, although we only started to become detectives in high school, most of the time, we became interested in becoming detectives when we were young, so more or less, before we became detectives, we conducted some investigations, which can be regarded as some kind of opportunity for us to become detectives......

"So, since Mr. Wise has a good reputation since he has only dealt with dozens of eucalyptus, then I think he has dealt with some incidents more or less when he didn't become a detective before, right?"

"Not really. I became a detective by chance...... Like when I was in high school, my time was basically on my studies, and I didn't have much time or opportunity to encounter any events. ”

Saying that, Gao Yuan looked at the three young detectives around him who were or used to be high school detectives helplessly, and said with some emotion-

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if it weren't for the inexplicable identity problem after crossing over, and the various situations that followed, I am afraid that it would be difficult for me to be forced to become a detective who can sit here and talk with these high-spirited high school detectives during this time.

Thinking about it at the beginning, I couldn't even notice that I was being followed, and I suffered a lot for it.

And the help of the settlement panel is also indispensable......

"Oh? In that case, Mr. Akechi was seriously preparing for further education at that time. ”

Listening to this answer, Nanatsuki Koshisui couldn't help but say:

"That's not like us."

As he spoke, Nanatsuki Koshisui looked at Tokitsu Junya in front of him and said:

"But if I have to say it, it's the other extreme to travel directly like Shi Jin...... Aren't you going to go on to higher education? ”

"Going to school?"

Hearing Koshisui Nanatsuki ask, Tokitsu Junya smiled slightly:

"The courses that need to be prepared for further education have already been completed by the young students. If you have to say it, even if you let students take the exam now, you can be admitted to a general public university. Therefore, the little students are not ready to waste time in school, so it is better to go out and travel more, which can not only increase their knowledge, but also encounter a lot of interesting events, isn't it? ”

"Huh? In this way, you must have encountered a lot of interesting events during your trip, why don't you tell them about it? ”

Smiling and resting his hands on his chin, Nanatsuki Koshisui asked with interest.

"Hmmm......"

In this regard, seeing that Koshisui Nanatsuki was so interested, the corner of Tokitsu Junya's mouth smiled, as if he was thinking, and said with a slight meaning:

"In fact, most of the incidents are very ordinary, they are simply some eucalyptus that is not difficult, like ordinary crimes, there is basically no difficulty, and those criminals have basically been arrested and prosecuted. I have to say something interesting......"

Touching his chin, Shi Jin Junya pondered for a moment before he began to explain:

"That's probably the incident that Xiao Sheng encountered in a small village when he first started traveling in Shikoku. At that time, the head of a family passed away unexpectedly, and it happened that the son of the family happened to run away in a hurry and disappeared. Therefore, the police in charge of investigating the case had suspected whether the death of the head of the family was related to the son who ran away in a hurry. But obviously, the police obviously thought too much, and the head of the family did pass away unexpectedly......"

"What's so interesting about that?"

Hattori Heiji listened to Tokitsu Junya's words and said very puzzled.

"It's nothing to worry about in itself. It was only later, because the person died, the family had to be notified to deal with the aftermath, and the family was left with only the son who ran away in a hurry, so the police wanted to notify the other party at that time, but they did not know the whereabouts of the other party, and there was no contact information......

So, out of the principle of helping others to the end, Xiaosheng found the other party for the police. And it was this process of searching that was a wonderful reasoning! ”

In this way, it seems that reminiscing about the situation at the time, Tokitsu Junya still feels unfinished, so he said.

However, listening to this description, Hattori Heiji was not interested, and couldn't help but say:

"Find someone...... How much fun can it be? Isn't there any special criminal offense? ”

"I think so too."

Koshisui Nanatsuki also followed Hattori's words and said:

"If you're looking for someone, it's probably just those means......

As he spoke, Koshisui Nanatsuki's eyes wandered for a moment, as if he remembered something, and asked Tokitsu Junya:

"That's right! Speaking of the bizarre incident that happened in Shikoku, it seems that the 'Lavender Villa Incident' also happened about a year ago...... Have you been exposed to this incident? ”

Suddenly, hearing Koshisui Nanatsuki mention this incident to Tokitsu Junya like this, Takato couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and he didn't know what Koshisui Nanatsuki meant by mentioning this incident related to her friend Mizuguchi Kana at this time-

"'Lavender Villa'...... I seem to have heard of it too! ”

In this regard, after hearing this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but say so.

"Indeed, when Xiao Sheng was traveling in Shikoku, he heard about this incident."

Tokitsu Junya said a little casually:

"It is said that the eldest lady of the villa who died thought it was a suicide at first, but after a while, it was rumored that he had killed him...... But in the end, it was decided that it was suicide. There are two reversals in total, which is quite impressive. ”

"yes."

Regarding Tokitsu Junya's remarks, Koshisui Nanatsuki nodded and affirmed:

"It's a peculiar eucalyptus, isn't it? Although the news reported two turns, the police did not disclose more detailed reasons, how did it reverse, I am really curious! How about it, Shi Jin, didn't you go to the scene to check it out during your trip? ”

"After all, it is an event that has already been closed, and there is no need to go."

Shi Jin Runya waved his hand, his gaze slanted slightly in the direction of no one on the side, and replied like this.

"That being said, it's really curious......"

Seeing that the other party had such an attitude, Koshisui Nanatsuki showed a thoughtful look, and his expression was slightly innocent like that of a girl, and he groaned for a while, and said:

"Suicide, homicide...... How is such a diametrically opposed conclusion reversed, and it is very interesting not to figure out the truth! And I remember that when the first reversal was that it was a homicide, the police said conclusively that they had found new and conclusive evidence, but it didn't take long for the conclusion to be completely settled on suicide. If I had been in Shikoku at the time and had seen the news, I would have somehow managed to go to the scene to find out what was going on, right? ”

Koshisui Nanatsuki said this, his eyes first looked at Hattori Heiji beside Tokitsu Junya, and then turned to Takato beside him-

"It's the police who got the evidence wrong."

At this point, just when Hattori nodded in agreement, Takato knew that there was nothing to hide, so he explained directly:

"The police took the evidence of another incident that happened in that villa half a year after the death of the eldest lady as evidence of the death of the eldest lady, thus misjudging the situation of the secret room at the scene at the time of the incident. Therefore, half a year after the incident, the police actually overturned the conclusion of suicide and began to analyze the circumstances of homicide. ”

Suddenly, as soon as these words came out, the expressions of Hattori Heiji and Tokitsu Junya were all shocked, and Nanatsuki Koshisui turned her head to look at Takato at this time, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her face-

In this regard, Xiao Wai on the side noticed that Koshisui Nanatsuki had a obviously different reaction after listening to Takato's words, and for a while, his eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Huh? Detective brother, how do you know so clearly? ”

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Because, after the police determined that there was a possibility of homicide, I went to the scene ......"
