Before Officer Yamato could speak, Conan on the side suddenly said, "Uncle, I don't think so~"

"Because before Officer Yamato put down Miss Ayaka's body, we looked at the ground, and there was no footprint on the ground, nor any trace of crutches."

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at Conan with ill intentions.

After noticing Maori Kogoro's eyes that clearly said "I'll teach you a lesson later", Conan broke out in a cold sweat and turned to look at Tatsuno on the side.

"Tatsuno brother must have noticed it too, right? Tatsuno brother~"

Looking at Conan's flattering look, Tatsuno curled his lips in disdain, then looked at Uncle Maori and nodded: "Conan is right."

After Tatsuno finished speaking, Maori Kogoro nodded, temporarily dispelling his doubts.

Seeing that the suspicion on him was temporarily removed, Officer Yamato looked at everyone and asked, "By the way, I heard that Miss Ayaka suddenly looked strange before hiding in the toilet. Do you know why?"

"Well, we were discussing the armor that appeared in the middle of the night. After hearing our discussion, she was shocked and ran into the toilet alone." Hattori Heiji explained.

"Armor that appeared in the middle of the night?" Officer Yamato's eyebrows sank.

"Well, last night, Takeda saw a person wearing armor. According to the description, the style of the helmet is very similar to 'the helmet of Takeda Shingen Suwa Hosei'. When we talked about this, Miss Ayaka screamed and ran away." Hattori Heiji nodded.

——"This is retribution! She was cursed and killed because she offended Lord Takeda Shingen. That dead centipede is the best evidence!!"

At this time, the old woman Ryuo Moriyo, who had been silent all the time, pointed to the dead centipede on the ground with a gloomy face.

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro showed a confused expression.

Takeda Shingen? What is the connection between this dead centipede and Takeda Shingen?

Before Maori Kogoro could ask, Ryuo Tameshi explained: "Lord Shingen has always called the messengers on the battlefield the 'centipede people' and would let them put centipede flags on their backs."

"Ah?! So that's why I always felt like I had seen this centipede pattern somewhere!" Torada Shigeji suddenly realized.

The head of the Torada family was furious and said: "Humph! You don't even know about this kind of thing, and you drag them to find Shingen's treasure all day long?!"

Hearing this, Ryuno and others also remembered that this Torada Shigeji seemed to have said before that he was looking for a treasure in the cave.

"In that case, the treasure you want to find is Takeda Shingen's 'buried gold'?" He Ye turned his head and said.

Torada Tatsuei sighed and closed his eyes, saying, "Yes, since he found the relevant books and maps in the warehouse at home, Shigeji has been searching for the whereabouts of the treasure like a demon."

"Not only him, but also the two people who died a few days ago, and this Ryuo Kei... they all got involved."

As Torada Tatsuei finished speaking, everyone looked at Torada Shigeji and Ryuo Kei.

Regardless of the "Takeda Shingen's Curse", if Torada Tatsuei was right, then there was one more thing in common between the three dead people - they were all looking for Takeda Shingen's treasure.

"We are not doing this for our own benefit! If we really find the treasure, we want to build a better village!" Longwei Jing said loudly, "But why... Linghua only went to the excavation site to deliver lunch boxes to us a few times. Why is she cursed..."

"This is not a curse." Officer Yamato said while wearing gloves, "This is an outright homicide!"

"What the mustache detective said is right. I have confirmed the remains of Miss Linghua according to his reasoning. The mobile phone is not in her waist bag."

"This means that during the time she was hiding in the toilet, she was called out by someone. That person is the murderer of these three cases!"

After saying that, Officer Yamato looked at Torada Shigeji and Longwei Jing on the side, and said: "If you don't want your body to be hung up, you'd better not wander around. Especially for the two of you who are looking for buried gold!"

Hearing this, Torada Shigeji and Longwei Jing's faces turned pale instantly.

The police officer was right. Although the reason for the murder was unknown, three of the "Five Treasure Hunting Team" had already met with misfortune...

...

Soon after, the police finally arrived.

In order to investigate the scene, Officer Yamato asked Tatsuno and others to leave the woods.

Tatsuno and others returned to Torada's house and sat in the living room.

Until the last "outsider" around him, Torada Yui, went to pour tea for everyone and left, Hattori HeijiHe and Conan turned their heads to look at Tatsuno at the same time.

"Takeda, can you tell me now? What happened last night?"

Hattori Heiji's sudden words made Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan and Ye stunned.

Tatsuno chuckled and said, "What do you want to know?"

Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes: "According to your personality, if you really see a person wearing armor in the middle of the night... you will definitely chase him and punch him away, right?"

Tatsuno: "???"

In your eyes, I am such a person? !

Conan on the side also looked at Tatsuno with the same expression.

They didn't believe that Tatsuno would do nothing after seeing the armor.

At this time, Maori Kogoro and the other three on the side also understood what Hattori Heiji meant, and looked at Tatsuno curiously.

Tatsuno is so powerful, even if he failed to catch the person wearing armor, he must have found some other clues.

"Compared to the armor, you have overlooked a small matter. Under the tree where Miss Ayaka was found, there are indeed only the footprints of Officer Yamato... But what if they are not human footprints?" Tatsuno spread his hands.

"Not human footprints?" Everyone in the room muttered silently.

The next moment, Hattori Heiji immediately stood up and said excitedly: "Horse footprints? You mean horse footprints? I understand!!"

Conan also stood up with round eyes.

If the murderer used the horse... This is not an "impossible crime"!

Tatsuno nodded: "There were only three people riding horses at the time, namely: Ryuo Kei, Torada Yui and Torada Tatsuei..."

"So, the murderer is among the three of them!" Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other and said solemnly.

At this time, Maori Kogoro on the side said: "Speaking of which, the Ryuo family seems to have a set of armor. I wonder what that armor looks like."

After hearing this news, Hattori Heiji looked down at Conan, put his hands in his pockets and said: "Conan and I will go to the Ryuo family now, and we will contact each other at any time!"

After that, the two opened the door and walked out of the room.

Maori Kogoro frowned, stood up and looked at Tatsuno: "Boy, you stay with Xiaolan and the others, I will keep an eye on that Torada Shigeji, he is very likely the next target of the criminal."

"Don't worry, Uncle Maori, I will take good care of them both." Tatsuno nodded.

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro patted Tatsuno on the shoulder and left the room.
