Detectives of Detective World

After bidding farewell to the female criminal who received them, the two left the police station and headed towards Torada's house.

Because the Torada family had entrusted them to solve the case, they met the Torada couple smoothly.

After some questioning, the two found that their testimonies were basically consistent with what was recorded in the file.

"I wonder if I can meet Shigeji Torada?"

After preliminary questioning, Tangze asked Kaikai: "He was the first person to discover the crime scene. I want to hear him describe the scene at that time in person."

"I understand. He lives in the wing on the left. You can just ask him directly."

Torada Naonobu nodded and said: "Just tell him that I asked you to go there, and let that loser cooperate with you!"

"You don't seem to think much of your current son?"

Hearing this, Karasawa felt that the father-son relationship between the two was a bit subtle, so he asked directly: "Now that Mr. Yoshiro is dead, Shigeji should be the heir to the Torada family, right?"

In a search case, it is necessary to understand all the relationships between the characters.

And since it can be seen that Torada Naobu is very unhappy with his son who is now alive, it is natural to ask clearly.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely not ask so straightforwardly, but the client's words were slightly less suspicious, and the other party had no intention of covering up, so Tangze chose the simplest and most trouble-free method.

However, he did not expect that after hearing Karasawa's words, Torada Naobu snorted coldly and said: "My only heir is Yoshiro, the kind of guy who is obsessed with unfounded treasures and only digs for treasures all day long. Not my son!"

"So that's it..." Karasawa nodded clearly, stood up and said goodbye to the other party to go to the side room to find Shigeji Torada.

But unexpectedly, before arriving at the gate of Shigeji Torada's residence, Karasawa saw two familiar figures talking to Shigeji Torada at the door.

"Why are you!?"

Hearing the footsteps, the boy with an Osaka accent turned his head to look at Karasawa and was shocked: "Karasawa Criminal and Detective Koshisui? What kind of combination are you!?"

"Hey~Long time no see~"

After Koshizui Nanatsuki saw Hattori Heiji, he smiled and said hello: "We haven't seen each other since the last time we said goodbye, right?

I didn’t expect to see each other here in Nagano, it’s really fate~”

"This is..." Looking at the short-haired Koshimi Nanatsuki, Toyama Kazuha on the side looked at each other with a lot of caution.

After all, Nanatsuki Koshimizu was considered a heroic beauty. She didn't know when Hattori Heiji met such a beauty.

And it seems that the relationship between the two parties is quite familiar.

"There was a detective duel on the island last time, and this is one of the detectives." Hattori Heiji gave a rough explanation, and Toyama and Ye, who already knew about it, were immediately impressed.

"So that's it."

Toyama Ya and Huan then bowed slightly towards Koshizui Nanatsuki and began to introduce themselves. Koshimizu Nanatsuki also quickly returned the gift and introduced himself, and the two parties got to know each other for the first time.

"So why are you two, Karasawa Criminal and Detective Koshishui, here?"

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that you are all here to investigate this case?"

"If you are talking about the case where the younger generation of the Torada family and the Ryūbi family were killed, and there were centipede corpses at the crime scene, then that's it." Karasawa nodded, feeling a little weird in his heart.

He originally thought that this case was a side plot, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Koshimizu Nanatsuki to be his assistant.

After all, I am still in Nagano Prefecture, and I am not familiar with the place. I really need a reliable helper to help me.

But I didn't expect it to be Ke Xue's case?

And it seems that Hattori Heiji is also involved...

As we all know, where there is Hattori Heiji, there is a "tumbling washing machine". Is Kogoro Mori also investigating this case?

Or is this a commission received by Hattori Heiji alone, but it is not in the original plot, and it is a case that Hattori Heiji alone solves?

This is not impossible, after all, this is a real world now, everything is developing, and I can come here for various reasons, so it is not surprising that Hattori Heiji is here.

Every time when he gets a headache like this, Tang Ze regrets why he doesn't remember more plot points in his mind, at least it won't make his eyes black.

"As expected, you are also here for this case."

Hattori Heiji didn't know what Karasawa was thinking. After hearing what he said, he smiled and explained: "We were found by people from the Tatsuo family. Officer Otaki was found in their family, and they asked me to come over to investigate through his connections."

"I am entrusted by the Torada family, but because of the relationship with my boss, we went to the police station first." Karasawa smiled and explained the reason for his coming.

"What about Detective Koshisui?" Hattori Heiji asked curiously: "Whose commission did you receive? How did you come across Karasawa Criminal Investigation?"

"There is nothing I can do. The boss calls me, so this little coolie like me can only accompany him on business trips~" Koshimizu Nanatsuki spread his hands and said with a pitiful expression.

"Boss!?" Hattori Heiji looked at Karasawa in astonishment and said, "Isn't it you she's talking about?"

"If you don't like it, you can go back to criminal school now and continue studying. Don't play so much."

Karasawa rolled his eyes at Koshizu Nanatsuki angrily, and immediately explained: "Koshimizu followed my advice and has been admitted to the criminal civil service and is now studying at a criminal school.

This time my boss entrusted me with a personal relationship, and I brought her out when he asked me to choose an assistant.

There are still coolies, who said when they got off the bus that they could finally come out to have fun. "

"Hehe." Nanatsuki Koshizui giggled and prevaricated, and Tang Ze was too lazy to continue arguing with her.

Since Koshimizu Nanatsuki was relieved of the knot in his heart, his mentality was no longer as "bitter and bitter" as before. Although he was a little less calm, he also had a little more vitality that a girl at this age should have.

As for his "skinny" behavior this time, you can probably tell that after being kept in a cage for a long time, he let himself go as soon as he came out.

"I didn't expect Miss Yueshui to choose this path, but it makes sense."

After hearing Karasawa's explanation, Hattori Heiji smiled and said, "But congratulations, you have a right-hand assistant."

"Okay, let's stop chatting here, let's get down to business first."

Karasawa did not continue chatting, but changed the topic and smiled apologetically at Shigeji Torada in front of him: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I am the person entrusted by my father to investigate Mr. Yoshiro. I have something to say. Ask you."

"Did your father also find you?"

Shigeji Torada was a little surprised when he heard Karasawa's words, but he nodded immediately: "If you have anything to ask, just ask. Anyway, this guy came to me, and I wanted to say the same thing. Thank you. There’s no difference between the two of them.”

"You said "also"? Did your father invite other people to investigate the case before us?"

After hearing the information contained in the other party's words, Karasawa's eyes flashed and the figures of Mouri Kogoro and others flashed in his mind.

Although there is no basis for it, he just feels this way, and he is not the only one who feels this way.

"Is the client you are talking about an uncle with a mustache?" Hattori Heiji on the side also thought of him and asked quickly: "My name is Mouri Kogoro."

"Yes, it's Maori. I heard that he was a famous detective hired by my father from Tokyo."

Shigeji Torada sighed and said: "Father, he has always tried to make my brother the heir, and he looks down on me who is obsessed with treasures.

So in order to pay for my brother, my father spared no effort. In addition to spending money to hire a Maori detective, he also mobilized connections to hire you, a famous criminal. "

"I didn't expect uncle to be here too!" He Ye said excitedly, "I wonder if Xiaolan is here!"

"I guess they are here. Well, since they are also investigating this case, they will encounter it sooner or later. Let's get down to business quickly."

Because he learned the news about Mouri Kogoro and others, the previous topic was changed again, forcing Karasawa to "control the situation" again and change the topic to the main topic.

Although he learned that Mouri Kogoro had also arrived and confirmed that this case had always existed, Karasawa was still not happy.

Because he is still blank about this case, he can only take it one step at a time to see if he can recall anything.

If it doesn't work, we can only rely on our strength to solve the case. With the addition of him and Koshimizu Nanatsuki, I believe it will be better than the original plot.

"Ah, yes."

Hattori Heiji also suddenly realized that he knew the main purpose of waiting for others to come here, so he asked: "Mr. Shigeji, are you the first to discover Mr. Yoshiro? What do you think about the centipede?"

"I was indeed the first person to discover my brother's body. As for the centipede... I did see it."

Shigeji Torada thought for a while and said: "As for my opinion, to be honest, I don't know why the prisoner put the centipede body next to his brother's body."

"I would like to ask if the Torada family and the Ryūbi family have anything related to the centipede?" Karasawa guided Torada Shigeji, asking him to think more and see if he could tell him some useful information.

"Well...it doesn't seem to have any origin..." Shigeji Torada touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "But when I was offering sacrifices, I did see patterns about centipedes and the like."

"Sacrifice?" Tangze was very sensitive to such words. After all, many cases had various historical or mysterious backgrounds, so he quickly asked: "Can you explain it in detail?"

"The sacrifices in our village are different from other sacrifices. They are not the kind of dancing and singing celebrations. Instead, they advocate force after all."

Shigeji Torada explained: "In addition to performing horseback shooting performances, the men in the village will also put on armor and simulate war scenes.

You see, he is wearing that armor, but those are all fake, issued by the village.

I vaguely remember seeing centipede patterns during sacrifices. "

Shigeji Torada looked into the room behind him. When everyone looked up, they found a set of samurai armor placed in the other party's home, along with weapons such as arrows and katana swords.

"Where is that pattern?"

Hattori Heiji on the side heard what Torada Shigeji said and said in a hurry: "Is it painted on a certain part of the body?"

"If it's a dragonfly, I remember that during the Warring States Period, military commanders decorated their helmets with it." Heye Wenyan said thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, when we visited Mr. Tatsuo Kage, he said that a strange accident happened 6 years ago. Is it true that someone died in the accident?"

Hattori Heiji on the side saw that he could only ask so much information about the centipede pattern, so he changed the subject and confirmed what he had said before by asking Ryuubikage to see if he could get some additional information.

"That's true. The person who died in that strange accident was Mr. Kai Hikento, who was in charge of the Yabusame Archer who technically performed archery performances until the year of his death."

Shigeji Torada raised his eyes unconsciously and recalled: "I heard that he accidentally slipped and fell off the cliff while practicing, and lost his life."

"Does anyone know the details of the accident?"

Karasawa heard that Shigeji Torada's words were also very vague, and knew that he knew about this matter, but probably not much, so he asked him if there was anyone who knew more about this matter.

"It should be Yui, the widow of my deceased brother." Shigeji Torada thought for a moment and said, "I remember she was the one who found the first body."

"Then where does she live now?" Hattori Heiji asked after hearing this.

"You should be able to see the stable boy on the other side of the wall, right?"

Shigeji Torada pointed to a small house on the wall of the yard and said: "Usually he should be taking care of the horses there at this time. You can go over there and ask."

"Then let's take our leave first."

Everyone said goodbye to Shigeji Torada and headed in the direction of the stables. Soon they came to the door and heard the words of resistance from a woman among the stables:

"Please consider whether I am in a good mood or not. My husband just died, and I come here to ask about what happened six years ago. Can you please leave!!"

"It seems that the uncle is asking questions inside, but he just doesn't know how to make the other party angry."

When Hattori Heiji said this, he had a gloating smile on his face and trotted towards the stable door: "I'll go over and persuade him to stop causing trouble to others~"

Without waiting for Karasawa and others to react, Hattori Heiji ran over and pushed open the stable door: "Hey, they said they don't want to anymore, uncle, please stop stalking..."

But the scene in the room at the next moment made Hattori Heiji stunned, because among the horsemen, except for the widow Miss Yui, the person standing in front of him was not Mouri Kogoro, but a man with pigtails and a fierce face.

"What's going on, boy!?"

The man turned around, and Hattori Heiji noticed that there was an "X" on the other man's left eye, and that he was holding a cane in his left hand.

This dark-skinned man with a ponytail and stubble on his face looked ferocious, and he was even more domineering when he opened his mouth, which made Hattori Heiji, who had already guessed the wrong person and was embarrassed, become a little weaker again.
