Conan: Another Famous Detective

"Sent to my brother?" Meng Yu's face instantly darkened.

"It seems that the letter was sent to us because Shinichi could not be found." Akira Hanomiya said calmly.

"Hey, could it be..." Meng Yu looked downstairs.

"Not necessarily. The letter was sent from Higashi Okuho Village on the outskirts of Okuho Town. Maybe it's really from Shinichi." As he spoke, Akira Hanomiya opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

[Respectfully, Mr. Kudo Shinichi]

[I have found evidence that your reasoning was wrong back then. However, in order not to hurt your self-esteem as a detective, shall we meet in private? The location was the hut where we met at the time - Makoto Yada]

After reading the letter, Yu Gongming looked at Mengyu with a strange expression: "Do you know Yada Makoto?"

Meng Yu thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "I have an impression that my brother once mentioned this name after he came back from handling a case. It seemed that he was a friend he met in that case."

"Is that so? The reasoning is wrong...the reasoning is wrong..." Yu Gongming murmured to himself, and some impressions gradually came into his mind.

He collected the letter and said, "After the cake, let's go to Maori's house to find Conan."

"Yeah." Mengyu nodded, and naturally Conan wanted to know about this.

…………

Xiaolan opened the door and looked at the two people outside the door in surprise: "Senior Yumiya? Mengyu? Why are you here?"

"I have something to talk to Conan about. Oh, by the way, where is uncle? I don't think the office on the second floor is open!" Akira Hanamiya asked.

"Dad just took a commission and went out, so we came up." Xiaolan said and pointed to the room inside: "Conan is reading mystery novels in the room."

Just at this moment, the door to the room opened, and Conan walked out holding a mystery novel. He looked at Akira and Hanomiya with some confusion: "What do you want from me?"

"A letter addressed to Kudo Shinichi has been sent to us." Hanomiya Akira raised the envelope in his hand.

Xiaolan and Conan immediately noticed the recipient on the envelope.

"Looking for...Xinyi?" Xiaolan asked in surprise.

Conan, who was originally a little careless, suddenly became serious: "Show me that letter!"

Akira Hanomiya didn't waste any time and handed the letter directly to Conan.

Xiaolan also squatted down and read the letter with Conan.

After a while.

Conan put down the letter with some confusion: "Wrong reasoning? How could it be?"

"Who is this Yada Makoto?" Xiaolan asked doubtfully.

"It's a young man I met during a murder case handled in Higashi Aosui Village a year ago. He is the adopted son of the deceased. He helped me a lot at that time." Conan explained.

"Then what's wrong with the reasoning?" Xiaolan asked.

"I don't know." Conan frowned: "I have already investigated the case very clearly. However, for some reasons, I asked the police not to disclose the whole truth. But I have no intention of hiding it, Makoto. I have already asked the police officer who handled the case at the time. Told him the whole truth.”

"Can you tell me about the specific case?" Yu Gongming asked.

"Yeah, no problem." Conan nodded and began to describe the case that year.

More than ten minutes later.

"So that's it. The evidence chain is complete and there are no obvious logical loopholes. Then I'm curious, what is the evidence that Yada Makoto said was wrong in reasoning?" Akira Hanamiya said with interest.

Conan nodded: "I'm also curious about this, but I'm afraid Kudo Shinichi won't be able to keep the appointment unless..."

"It's better to forget it, Xiao Ai. It's not worth the loss to bring Kudo Shinichi back for this kind of thing. Anyway, the case has been sent to us. We can go and talk to that Yada Makoto on your behalf." Hanamiya Akira smiled.

Conan thought for two seconds and said: "Forget it, I'll go with you too. After all, I know the details of the case better. If there is really any misunderstanding, please help me talk to him on the phone."

"Then I'll go with Conan too." Xiao Lan also said.

"Then let's set off tomorrow morning, okay?" Yu Gongming suggested.

"No problem." No one raised any objection.

…………

The next morning.

Akira Hanamiya and his party drove to Dongao Sui Village.

In the public hall.

"Huh? Yada Makoto is missing?" Xiaolan looked at the staff who were looking for household registration information in surprise.

"Yes, he disappeared half a year ago, and we have already sent out an application for assistance. However, since Makoto has always longed for the big city, everyone is saying that Makoto should have gone to Tokyo to work."

The staff looked at the few people curiously: "What do you want to see Chengren for?"

"That's right!" Akira Hanamiya said with a smile: "I am a reporter from Mihua Daily. Just a few days ago, our newspaper office received a letter from Mr. Makoto Yada."

"The letter said that there was another hidden secret in a case a year ago, and it also involved the famous detective Kudo Shinichi, so we came over to understand the situation face to face with Mr. Makoto."

"What? The case a year ago?" The staff member suddenly raised his voice.

As the sound spread, the originally noisy public hall suddenly became quiet.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Yu Gongming asked with a puzzled expression.

As these words came out, the public hall became noisy again.

"Is this a matter for the village chief?"

"Makoto actually called the reporter over?"

"Has Makoto been investigating this matter for the past six months?"

Words like these reached Yu Gongming's ears, which made Yu Gongming have various speculations in his heart.

He looked at the staff and asked, "Is there really something hidden about the case a year ago?"

The staff looked around, first asking the surrounding villagers to stop talking, then approached Yu Gongming and asked in a low voice: "Do you really want to know about the case back then?"

"Of course, because we heard that this was a case handled by the famous detective Kudo Shinichi, but according to Mr. Yata Makoto, Kudo Shinichi's reasoning is wrong."

He gradually showed a hint of excitement; "A famous detective has solved an unjust, false and wrong case. If it is true, it would be big news!"

Seeing this, the staff nodded, moved closer to Hanomiya Akira again, and said, "Actually, it's like this. A year ago, the former village chief Hihara, the former village chief, was found dead at home."

"Then Kudo Shinichi came over to investigate, and finally concluded that the village chief gave up on himself because he was suffering from cancer, and finally chose to commit suicide."

"But..." The expressions of the staff gradually became angry: "Later we found out that the village chief's cancer was not malignant at all, but just benign. As long as he had surgery, he would be fine!"

"So, how could the village chief, who is usually so cheerful, commit suicide because of cancer! That Kudo Shinichi's reasoning is nonsense!"
