Chapter 914 Xiao Ai’s discovery

"However, the difficulty of simply transforming rocks is not on the same level as creating large-scale megalithic ruins. Even if those rocks were able to be transformed on the island before, the manpower and material resources required to build a megalithic ruin are not It’s so simple beforehand…”

Hattori Heiji still insisted on his point of view and said:

"By the way, in addition to finding traces of human carvings on the 'Giant Rock', what else have you discovered about the so-called 'eyes higher than the giants, three giants combined into one' in the legend?"

Because I feel that for now, the fact that the three "Giant Rocks" may have been artificially excavated and transformed into three stone statues facing the east is not very helpful to the content mentioned in the legend, so Curious, Hattori Heiji turned to ask about this.

In response, Gao Yuan couldn't help but shook his head and responded:

"Not to mention how to 'combine' these three huge rocks located in different directions on this island into one, it is the point of 'sighting higher than the giant'. I don't understand what this means specifically..."

Likewise, Koshimizu Nanatsuki had similar thoughts.

"So, as of today, none of us have made any substantial progress..."

Listening to this response, Tokijin Junya couldn't help but conclude like this.

"really."

In response, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded and said:

"Then it seems that maybe we have to continue to investigate tomorrow. Not only the underwater ruins, maybe we also have to take a boat to see if the back of the 'Giant Rock' in the east is as we expected. Generally speaking, on the east-facing side, there are traces of human modification.”

In this regard, listening to Gao Yuan's words, everyone seemed to have the same idea, so in the end, regarding the current situation, everyone decided to go to sea again tomorrow.

This time, even Takato and Koshimizu Nanatsuki plan to go to sea together. On the one hand, they want to confirm the situation of the "Giant Rock" in the east, and on the other hand, they want to get close to the underwater ruins and conduct a thorough investigation.

Immediately, after roughly sharing some of their gains today and discussing tomorrow's itinerary, everyone started chatting casually in this hotel——

"But speaking of it, we clearly agreed that we would have a reasoning competition this time, but I didn't expect that now we can actually sit here and discuss intelligence together..."

At this time, Koshizui Nanatsuki put one hand on the table and looked around at the detectives present. Finally, his eyes were fixed on Takato beside him, and he couldn't help but say:

"I have to say that Mr. Akechi is really out of touch! If it were a novice like me who had only solved a hundred or so incidents, I wouldn't dare to casually take out the clues I found and discuss them with everyone. "

Just as she was talking, Toki Jinjunya, who was sitting opposite her, chuckled and couldn't help but say:

"Really? Someone who has only handled a hundred or so cases is indeed considered a novice. Xiaosheng has handled about three hundred cases, and most of them were concentrated in the past year when he traveled to the four countries..."

"well?"

After hearing this, Hattori Heiji on the side couldn't help but speak, and said with a slightly satisfied expression:

"Is that so? Then the incident I solved..."

As he spoke, Hattori Heiji was seen clasping his fingers as if calculating, and then he seemed to be smiling bitterly but more in a show-off way:

"Ah, there are probably more than a thousand pieces. I can't even count them..."

"Huh? A thousand pieces! Really?"

Suddenly, hearing Hattori Heiji say this, Koshimizu Nanatsuki couldn't help but praise in surprise.

"It's amazing..."

Sighing slightly, Toki Jinjunzai couldn't help but be surprised.

As for Takato, he was not surprised at all by Hattori Heiji's remarks. His expression was indifferent and he didn't express anything.

After all, in Gao Yuan's impression, this statement was mentioned in the original work——

"Hey, Heiji..."

In this regard, Toyama Kazuha next to Hattori Heiji looked confused and whispered in confusion:

"More than a thousand cases? When did you solve so many cases?"

After carefully recalling his past with Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha, his childhood sweetheart, could not imagine how Hattori Heiji could be involved in so many cases.

In response, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but smile and explained:

"Of course there are! If you include incidents like when I helped people find lost cats when I was a kid..."

"Forehead……"

For a moment, when they heard Hattori Heiji say this, Koshizui Nanatsuki and Tokatsu Junya, who were still surprised, could not help but freeze for a moment. Among them, Koshizui Nanatsuki had a helpless smile on his face, and Junya Tokizu couldn't help but roll his eyes at Hattori Heiji.

However, after the three people introduced the cases they had participated in, the three people's eyes coincidentally turned to the last detective present who did not speak -

"Then, how many incidents has Mr. Akechi participated in?"

Koshimi Nanatsuki asked curiously.

In this regard, facing the gazes of the three people, Gao Yuan was embarrassed not to answer, so after thinking about it for a while, he casually replied:

"A few dozen."

"Oh, so few?"

Somewhat unexpectedly, Koshimizu Nanatsuki couldn't help but asked in surprise.

At the same time, Hattori Heiji and Tokatsu Junya looked at Takato with curiosity.

"Because it wasn't long before I actually started working as a detective."

Gao Yuan explained.

"Humph, that's it..."

In this regard, after listening to this explanation, Tokijin Junzai couldn't help but said:

"I just started working as a detective recently, so I really haven't heard of this name before."

"That's right..."

After hearing this answer, Koshimizu Nanatsuki continued to ask:

"But having said that, as Hattori-san said, although we only started to become detectives in high school, most of the time we became interested in becoming detectives when we were young, so more or less, before becoming detectives We have all conducted some investigative incidents more or less, which can be regarded as some kind of opportunity that prompted us to become detectives...

"So, since Mr. Mingzhi has a good reputation since he has only handled a few dozen cases, he must have handled some incidents before he became a detective, right?"

"That's not true. It can only be said that I became a detective by chance... During my high school years, I basically spent all my time studying, and I didn't have much time or opportunity to encounter any incidents."

As he said that, Gao Yuan looked helplessly at the three young detectives around him who were currently or had been high school detectives, and said with some emotion -

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if it weren't for the inexplicable identity problem after time travel and the various situations that followed, it would be difficult for me to be forced to become a detective who can sit with these high-spirited high school students during this period of time. Let's talk about detectives.

Thinking back to the beginning, I couldn't even notice that I was being followed, and I suffered a lot for this.

Among them, the help of the settlement panel is also essential...

"Oh? So, Mr. Mingzhi was seriously preparing to go to college?"

Listening to this answer, Koshisui Nanatsuki couldn't help but said:

"That's different from us."

As he said that, Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at Tokizu Junya in front of him and said:

"But if I have to say it, it's the other extreme to go on a trip like Tokijin-san... Don't you plan to go to college?"

"Advancing to higher education?"

Hearing Koshizui Nanatsuki's question, Tokijin Junya smiled slightly and said calmly:

"The primary school students have already completed the courses required to prepare for higher education. If I have to say, even if primary school students are allowed to take the exam now, they can still get into ordinary public universities. Therefore, primary school students are not prepared to waste time in school and go out for more walks. Wouldn’t it be better to travel a little, not only to increase your knowledge, but also to encounter a lot of interesting events?”

"Huh? So you must have encountered a lot of interesting events during your journey. Why don't you tell us about it?"

Smiling and putting his hands on his chin, Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked with interest.

"Um……"

In this regard, seeing Koshimizu Nanatsuki's expression of interest, Junya Tokatsu smiled, as if he was thinking, and said slightly with satisfaction:

"Actually, most of the incidents are very common. They are cases with no difficulty at all. For example, ordinary criminal incidents are basically not difficult, and the criminals have basically been arrested and prosecuted. I have to say What an interesting incident..."

Touching his chin, Tokijin Junya pondered for a moment, and then began to explain:

"That was probably an incident that Xiaosheng encountered in a small village when he first started traveling in the four countries. At that time, the head of a family passed away unexpectedly, and at that time, the son of that family ran away in a hurry and was nowhere to be found. Therefore, the police responsible for investigating the case had suspected that the death of the owner of the family was related to the son who ran away in a hurry. However, the police obviously thought too much. The owner of the family did pass away unexpectedly..."

"What's so interesting about this?"

Hattori Heiji listened to Tokatsu Junya's words and said with great confusion.

"The thing itself is nothing worth paying attention to. But later, because the person died, the family members had to be notified to handle the funeral arrangements, and the only son left in that family was the son who ran away in a hurry, so the police wanted to notify the other party at the time, but they did not I know the whereabouts of the other party but have no contact information...

"So, out of the principle of helping others to the end, Xiaosheng found the other party for the police. And this search process is really a wonderful reasoning!"

In this way, it seems that after recalling the situation at that time, Toki Jin Junya still felt that he still had something to say, so he said this.

However, hearing this description, Hattori Heiji was not interested and couldn't help but say:

"How much fun can it be to find someone? Isn't there any special criminal case?"

"I think so."

Koshimi Nanatsuki also followed Hattori Heiji’s words and said:

"If you want to find someone, you can probably use those methods..."

Saying that, Koshizui Nanatsuki's eyes wandered for a moment, as if he remembered something, and asked Tokijin Junya:

"By the way! Speaking of bizarre events that happened in Shikoku, the 'Lavender Villa Incident' seems to have happened about a year ago... Have you had any contact with this incident?"

Suddenly, when he heard Koshizui Nanatsuki mentioning this incident to Tokatsu Junya casually like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but "thumped" in his heart. He didn't know whether Koshizui Nanatsuki mentioned this incident to her friend Mizuguchi Kana at this time. What is the purpose of the relevant events——

"'Lavender Villa'...I think I've heard of it too!"

In this regard, after hearing this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but think about it.

"Indeed, Xiaosheng heard about this incident when he traveled to the four countries."

Tokijin Junya said slightly casually:

"It is said that the eldest lady of the villa who died thought it was suicide at first, but after a while, another theory of homicide came out... But in the end, it was still determined to be suicide. It was reversed twice in total. Quite impressive.”

"yes."

In response to Tokatsu Junya's words, Koshimi Nanatsuki nodded and affirmed:

"It's a very strange case, isn't it? Although the news reported two twists and turns, the police did not disclose the more detailed reasons. I'm really curious about how this turned around! How about it, Tokijin-san, you were traveling at the time Didn’t you go check it out on the way?”

"After all, this is a matter that has been settled, so there is no need to leave."

Tokijin Junzai waved his hand, looking slightly slanted in the direction where no one was around, and replied like this.

"Having said that, it's really curious..."

Seeing the other party's attitude, Koshizui Nanatsuki looked thoughtful, and his expression showed the innocence of a girl. He pondered for a moment and said:

"Suicide, homicide... how on earth could such completely opposite conclusions be reversed? It's very worrying if you don't know the truth! And I remember that when the first reversal was said to be a homicide, the police were very confident. It was said that new conclusive evidence had been discovered, but it didn’t take long for the case to be concluded as suicide. If I had been in Shikoku at that time and saw the news, I would have tried to go to the scene to understand the situation. You think so?"

Koshizui Nanatsuki said this, his eyes first looked at Hattori Heiji next to Tokizu Junya, and then turned to Takato next to him——

"The police got the wrong evidence."

At this point, when Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement, Takato knew that there was nothing to hide, so he explained directly:

"The police mistook the evidence of another incident that occurred in that villa half a year after the death of the eldest lady as evidence of the death of the eldest lady, and thus misjudged the situation in the secret room at the time of the incident. Therefore, It was only six months after the incident that the police overturned the conclusion of suicide and began to analyze the circumstances of homicide. "

Immediately, as soon as these words came out, both Hattori Heiji and Tokatsu Junya looked shocked, while Koshimi Nanatsuki turned to look at Takato, and a smile appeared on her face - —

In this regard, Xiao Ai on the side noticed the obviously different reaction of Koshimi Nanatsuki after listening to Gao Yuan's words. For a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Hey? Detective, how do you know so clearly?"

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Because, after the police determined that there was a possibility of homicide, I went to the scene..."
