A few days later

Since the Metropolitan Police Department has never been able to find any clues about the "mysterious man", the case has been temporarily "sealed".

Although Conan has also secretly conducted multiple investigations on the robber group, he still has not found any clues.

During this period, to express his gratitude, Tatsuno handed over two amusement park tickets and two high-end restaurant tickets to Officer Takagi and Officer Sato respectively.

If nothing unexpected happens, both of them should invite "each other".

At this moment, at Tatsuno's home.

"Tatsuno, why did Dad suddenly ask us to go to work with him?" Xiaolan asked in confusion.

"Maybe he missed you, after all, he hasn't seen us for a long time~" Tatsuno chuckled.

"Really..."

Looking at Xiaolan who was pouting in front of him, Tatsuno couldn't help but spread his arms...

"Yeah~"

...

A few hours later

Nagano Prefecture.

Tatsuno and his friends drove to their destination while enjoying the mountain scenery outside the window.

The reason why it is called scenery rather than beautiful scenery is because of the weather.

Although the nature outside the window looks vibrant, the gloomy sky is obviously a bit of a downer.

Soon after, everyone finally arrived at the client's mansion, the Torada family.

The head of the family, Torada Naotobu, welcomed everyone into the house.

After a brief polite exchange, Torada Naotobu handed a photo to Maori Kogoro.

After taking the photo, Maori Kogoro looked at it carefully and frowned, "The whole body suffered a serious impact and died of excessive blood loss... Was it caused by falling?"

"My son Torada Yoshiro is my only heir. It seems that he died at the hands of a ruthless evil spirit who hated the Torada family." Torada Naotobu said calmly.

Seeing that the client was not giving any useful information, Maori Kogoro asked, "Excuse me, who pushed your son down from a height?"

"No, he was not pushed down by anyone, but by a tornado." Torada Naobu retorted, "My son encountered a tornado, was swept into the air, and then fell on the rocks and died."

Hearing this, Ryūno and others blinked in confusion.

Maori Kogoro was even more stunned.

Tornado? !

Since your son died of a tornado, why did you ask me to come here?

Ask me to arrest Tornado? !

Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro hurriedly said: "Mr. Torada, is it possible that your son... was killed by someone?"

Torada Naoko frowned and said: "No, he did die from the tornado! But... please take a good look at the photo. From the pool of blood behind him, you should be able to see that there is something that shouldn't be there..."

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro and Tatsuno took a closer look at the photo.

There was indeed something on the bloodstain next to the head of the deceased Torada Yoshiro.

"Is this... a centipede?!" Maori Kogoro was startled and said in a lost voice.

Torada Naoko whispered: "The centipede looks like it was deliberately placed on my son's uncoagulated blood after being stepped on by someone!"

At this time, the door on the side was opened.

A middle-aged woman in a light green kimono came in and added, "That is to say, after that person found out that my son was seriously injured, he not only did not ask for help, but he clapped and cheered, and even deliberately put a disgusting insect, and then watched my son die!" After the middle-aged woman came in, Torada Naoki introduced her identity to everyone. The woman's name was Torada Tatsuei, and she was his wife. At this time, Maori Kogoro finally understood the purpose of the Torada family's entrustment. Although the client's son was not killed, someone did not save his son and put a centipede next to him. No wonder they asked me to investigate...

However, Maori Kogoro still asked the question in his heart: "Mr. Torada, but the centipede could have been trampled to death by someone and blown there by the tornado by chance?"

As soon as he asked, Torada Naotobu shook his head and said: "But the first person who found the body, Hanji, said that there were no centipedes around. His brother died because that person did not save him!"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro's heart was confused again: "His brother? Wasn't the deceased Torada Yoshiro your only heir? Who is this Hanji you just mentioned?"

Torada Naotobu snorted coldly and said angrily: "I don't regard him as my son for a long time, like a fool who is obsessed and has been looking for a treasure without any basis!"

Just when Maori Kogoro was thinking about what to ask next, Conan asked: "Uncle, what about the clues about the murderer?"Yes, that's the Ryuo family who have had a grudge against the Torada family for many years! The devil who watched my son die must be among them! ! "At this point, the client's wife, Torada Tatsuei, showed an indignant look on her face.

...

At the same time

At Ryuo's home.

A dark-skinned young man looked at the photo in his hand and spoke slowly:

"After your son Koji was kidnapped, he was buried in the ground. It is suspected that the murderer hit his head with a blunt instrument several times to kill him. And before the blood completely coagulated, the murderer also put down a dead centipede... This practice is really too cruel!"

"By the way, what did the police say at the time? ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man wearing round glasses sitting opposite the young man replied: "Of course they will only give the same old answers - 'Investigation', 'We are investigating'..."

"That's why I asked my old friend Mr. Otaki at the Osaka Prefectural Police Station to ask him to find you, Hattori Heiji-kun!"

"But, Officer Otaki said that the identity of the murderer seems to have been found out a little bit..." Hattori Heiji recalled.

-"Click"

Just then, the door was opened and an old woman pushed the door and walked into the house.

Following this, her angry inference:

"It must be to vent anger! That family always thinks that the death of their son was caused by our Ryuo family. They have a grudge against us, so they killed Koji too!"

"The murderer must be someone from their Torada family!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man wearing glasses immediately said: "Mother, this kind of thing cannot be concluded yet..."

"Humph! "No one else can kill people in such a hateful way!" the old woman said angrily.

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji on the side immediately brought the topic back: "Excuse me, who was the first person to discover the body?"

"Ah, it was my other son Jing. He found it on his way home after practicing horseback archery." The middle-aged man explained.

Speaking of this, a trace of pride appeared on the man's face: "My son Ryuo Jing is the best player in this village. Every time there is a sacrifice, he will perform this skill for everyone."

After listening to the man's narration, Hattori Heiji immediately expressed that he wanted to meet this Ryuo Jing and learn more about the details.
