Conan: Another Famous Detective

"That's probably what happened." Long Wei Jing said.

His words were similar to those of the Longwei family leader, but the details were slightly more fleshed out and no additional clues were provided.

"Then, let me confirm again. When the body was found, the centipede was already there, right?" Yu Gongming asked.

"Yes." Long Wei nodded.

"Excuse me, does the centipede have any special meaning for you two?" Yu Gongming asked.

Long Wei Jing thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "It seems not, but I did see it during the sacrifice."

"Sacrifice?" Mouri Kogoro was confused.

"Yes, it is the annual sacrifice held in the village. At that time, they will wear armor to simulate war scenes. Of course, the armor is a plastic product provided by the village and is very light."

"That's it!" Mouri Kogoro suddenly realized.

"By the way, Mr. Jing is holding a horse next to him. Are you the one responsible for riding and shooting in armor?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Yes, I am currently the Yabusame archer. I am ashamed to say that if the senior had not passed away unexpectedly, I might not have been able to take my turn." Ryuubi Jing said with a smile.

"Oh? The deceased senior?" Yu Gongming's eyes moved slightly.

"Yes, Mr. Kai Jinto, who unfortunately fell off a cliff while practicing horseback archery six years ago, passed away. Before his death, he was the Yabusuri horse archer."

"His skills are unmatched even by me now, and we all respect him."

"Does that mean it was an accident?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"Yes!" Longwei Jing nodded.

"It seems to have nothing to do with the current case." Mouri Kogoro analyzed.

"It's too early to draw conclusions now. Does anyone know the details of the incident?" Yu Gongming asked.

"This...that should be the wife of the deceased Yoshiro - Mrs. Yui."

"Okay, thank you very much for the clues you provided." Yu Gongming thanked him and asked everyone to leave.

…………

The Torada family.

"You guys are talking about Yui! He should be taking care of the horses at the stables right now." Torada Shigeji said.

So everyone rushed to the stables.

At the stable door, they met Hattori Heiji coming from the other direction.

"It seems that you are also interested in what happened six years ago!" Hattori Heiji said with a smile.

"Yes! Maybe this accident has something to do with the current case." Yu Gongming replied.

At this time, a somewhat shrill female voice suddenly came from the stable: "Please stop asking!"

Everyone's eyes turned to the stable at the same time.

The somewhat sad female voice continued: "My husband just passed away a few days ago. I don't want to recall what happened six years ago anymore. Please go back and stop bothering me!"

Hattori Heiji's expression moved slightly, and he took the lead to open the stable door and shouted: "I said, since people don't want to, don't force them!"

There was a man and a woman standing in the stable. The woman was in her twenties and had a pretty face, but her expression was full of sadness. The man was tall and wearing a suit, but because his back was to the door, his face could not be seen clearly.

The man turned his head when he heard Hattori Heiji's voice: "What do you want?"

Hattori Heiji's expression froze, and even Kazuha's expression changed as he followed behind.

The man's appearance looked quite ferocious, especially the vertical and horizontal scars that penetrated his left eye, which made the man's appearance even more ferocious.

Hearing the man's question, Hattori Heiji was instantly frightened: "No...it's okay."

The scarred man glanced at Hattori Heiji, then turned to look at the woman again; "Okay, madam, please tell me, did you have that thing back then?"

"I'm not saying that I don't want to..." Halfway through the woman's words, she saw the man suddenly grabbing her collar, his expression full of anger: "This is a matter of life and death! Tell me quickly! "

The woman was grabbed by the collar by the man, and there was not much fear on her face, but her expression was a little subtle.

After two seconds of silence, she said: "Well, in that case six years ago, there was no dead centipede, only a dead horse and his emaciated body."

Hearing this, the man let go of the woman's collar and nodded gently: "I understand, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Hey! Who are you! How can you ask someone so rudely?" Mouri Kogoro shouted unhappily.

The man turned his head and took out a police card from his pocket: "I am the Nagano Prefecture police officer in charge of this case - Yamato Gansuke."

"Police...police?" Mouri Kogoro was stunned.

Conan looked at his left hand, which was currently holding a cane.

"Yeah, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Officer Yamato said, and passed the crowd to leave.

"Please wait a moment!" Mouri Kogoro stopped him and asked: "About centipede, do you know what it means?"

Officer Yamato turned his head and said calmly: "I don't know, but if this case doesn't end soon, I'm afraid there will be new corpses, one after another, just like...the battlefields of the Warring States Period."

After leaving such unintelligible words, Officer Yamato turned and left.

Everyone looked at each other.

At this time, the woman also walked out of the stable. She looked at everyone: "Sorry, if you want to ask about what happened back then, please forgive me for not being able to answer you now. Let me calm down first, okay?"

"Uh, okay." Mouri Kogoro could only nod.

"I'm sorry." The woman nodded slightly and then left.

Hattori Heiji touched his chin: "I always feel that what happened six years ago was not simple..."

"Yes, but the person involved doesn't seem to want to remember it." Yu Gongming said calmly.

…………

Torada's house, in a certain room.

Mouri Kogoro knocked on the table and said: "The common point between the two cases is that the deceased was discovered by someone close to him, and there was a dead centipede next to the deceased."

"It's just that, in addition to these two cases, the Kaibi Gento who accidentally fell off a cliff six years ago while practicing horse riding and archery is also of concern." Hanemiya Ming said:

"We don't know the specific meaning of the centipede at the moment, so let's speculate, could it... be some kind of symbol of revenge?"

"Revenge?" Mouri Kogoro was startled: "Are you saying that there was another hidden reason for the accident six years ago?"

"We don't rule out this possibility. Don't you think Mrs. Yui was obviously not in a normal mood when she mentioned the incident six years ago?"

"Indeed, it was her husband who passed away recently, but Officer Yamato asked about something that happened six years ago. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so excited." Meng Yu said thoughtfully.

"That's because the deceased Mr. Kai was a person I respected very much." A female voice sounded.

The door to the room was opened, revealing the figure of Yui Torada.
