Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"Where's the centipede?" Gao Cheng continued to ask, "Is there any connection between the centipede and your two families?"

Shigeji Torata scratched his messy hair, and he thought for a while before responding: "It doesn't seem to be related, but if it's a centipede pattern, I saw it at the celebration..."

"celebration?"

"It was the celebration of riding and archery. The men in the village had to imitate wearing ancient armor during the war. I was at that time. I seemed to see a portrait of a centipede somewhere..."

Shigeji Torata looked back at the ancient armor displayed in the room, sitting upright as if there really was a mighty armor like a samurai.

Seemingly aware of Gaocheng's gaze, Shigeji Torata hurriedly explained: "This armor is just a plastic imitation given by the village. It's cheap, but it's actually very light..."

"Is it a pattern?" Gao Cheng had no idea about armor, he had seen many of them in Gintama World, and even cut a lot of them with his own hands.

But speaking of centipede portraits...

"Takeda Shingen," Xiao Ai said suddenly, "there will be a centipede pattern at the ceremony, which should be the centipede flag carried by the messenger called "Hundred Legs" by Takeda Shingen..."

"By the way," Shigeji Torata looked at Xiao Ai in surprise, "It was during the battle at the ceremony that someone planted a centipede flag! It turned out to be Takeda Shingen..."

As he spoke, Shigeji Torata's face suddenly changed, and he faltered and fell silent again.

"Is there any problem with Takeda Shingen?" Gao Cheng knew this ancient Warring States name, and felt that Shigeji Torata seemed to be hiding something.

"No, it's nothing," Hutian Shigeji woke up with a start, "If you want to know the situation, you should ask Ajing, who is Koji's brother. He should still be practicing riding and archery in the woods on the mountain at this time, because the celebration is very Coming soon..."

"It's really a rare visitor, Kido," Hattori walked towards the wing of Hutian's house with Kazuha with his hands in his hands, and smiled subtly after seeing Gao Cheng, "You are really everywhere, right?"

"Hattori Kazuha?"

Gao Cheng stared blankly at the courtyard.

"Are you the powerful detective hired by Longwei's family?"

"I smell the incident," the old god Hattori looked around on the ground, "So, what about that kid? Didn't you come with him?"

"No……"

Gao Cheng thought about the situation in Tokyo. When he came, Conan seemed to be dragged by Xiaolan to buy groceries, otherwise he would really follow him.

These guys are dog noses...

"However," Hattori withdrew his gaze in disappointment, and turned to Gao Cheng wonderingly. This guy is sometimes sensitive to cases and sometimes insensitive, but he always encounters cases. "You came here because of the commission fee, right?"

"Of course I'm different from you. Private detectives also have to make a living."

Gao Cheng was a little speechless towards Hattori. As a detective enthusiast, he never charged commission fees. No wonder the uncle has always hated high school detectives.

"Did you come here to ask about the centipede?"

"Of course," Hattori said with an excited look on his face, "I don't think it's just a grievance between the two families. Just 6 years ago, someone died in a strange accident. Maybe it has something to do with the two incidents that are happening now. Maybe it's related..."

"6 years ago?"

"It's the Kaigenin policeman who has been riding and shooting at the festival," Torata Shigeji explained.

"I heard that he fell off a cliff during a practice session. It was after that that Ah Jing became the head of the celebration riding and archery..."

Gao Cheng suddenly wanted to meet that Long Weijing.

Just like what Hattori said, what happened 6 years ago seems to be really not simple. To solve the mystery, you must straighten out the invisible network of clues between the Torada family and the Tatsuo family.

"Six years ago, was there a centipede next to the policeman's body?" Gao Cheng asked.

"Well, I don't know..." Shigeji Torata shook his head.

Hattori asked without hesitation: "Then who knows more details?"

"My brother's widow, Youyi, because she found the body..."

"Where is she now?"

"In the stable across the courtyard wall, she should feed the horses there at this time..."

Gao Cheng looked along the courtyard wall, he could see the roof of the stable, and there was a mountain forest outside, and Longwei's house seemed to be on the opposite side of the mountain.

It's not clear what's going on with Longwei's family, but Hutian's family probably has an idea.

The Hutian couple, and then their two sons, one of whom is the focus of this case, Hutian Yoshiro, and Hutian Shigeji is the person who discovered the body.

Then there is Torada Yoshiro's widow, Torada Yui, who discovered the body of policeman Kai Gento six years ago...

Already connected.

Sure enough, there is something hidden in this incident, including the Sengoku daimyo Takeda Shingen who made Torita Shigeji suddenly change his face.

After bidding farewell to Shigeji Torata, Gao Cheng and Hattori left the courtyard to go to the stable outside, followed by Kazuha, who wanted to talk to Gao Leng's Xiao Ai like a sister, but couldn't get any response.

"That," He Ye looked awkwardly at Gao Cheng and the other two, "Who do you think will solve the puzzle first?"

"Of course Kido."

"Uh……"

"Just let me go!" A woman shouted from the stable, "It hasn't been long since my husband passed away, so don't let me recall the corpse from 6 years ago? Please go back, okay?"

"I'll ask again..."

"I said I'm not in the mood to answer now..."

"Are you kidding?! This is a matter of life and death!" In the stable, a man with a cane grabbed the woman's collar, "Don't talk about me anymore, answer quickly!! "

"Feel sorry……"

Gao Cheng stood at the door of the stable.

Crutches, ponytails, and this familiar voice...

"Dahe dares to help the police officer?"

"Huh?" Yamato dared to help release the woman and looked back at Gao Cheng with a slightly relaxed expression, "It's you, Detective Kido."

The last time the incident happened at the ski resort in Nagano County, he happened to be working nearby at that time, and he took over the case after receiving the report, and was deeply impressed by Gao Cheng's reasoning.

"Police officer?" Hattori was surprised to see Yamato Dasuke, who was blind in his left eye, dark-skinned, and had a bearded face and looked fierce. "This fierce uncle is..."

"Hmph," Dahe Daosuke took out his ID, "I am the Nagano prefectural policeman Dahe Daosuke who is in charge of this incident. I have something to ask this lady..."

Saying that Dahe dared to help Shen Sheng to look at the woman: "You should be clear, if you don't organize quickly, there will definitely be corpses all over the ground, just like the battlefield in the troubled times of the Warring States Period..."

"I, I see." The woman looked at Gao Cheng and lowered her head. "There is no centipede next to the corpse... The corpse is very thin, and it looks like it fell to death with the horse..."

"Is that so?" Yamato dared to help get the information he wanted, turned around and left on crutches, "Excuse me..."

Hattori looked at the eccentric Yamato, and couldn't help asking Gao Cheng softly, "Hey, Kido, do you know him?"

"Yeah, we met in a case together before," Gao Cheng said amusedly seeing Hattori's careful look, "Yamato Kansuke seems a bit aggressive, but he's actually not bad."
