Conan: Peppermint Beluga - Chapter 295
“Conan Mint Beluga (
In the stables separated by a wall from Hutian’s house, a man and a woman were arguing, and the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little awkward.
The girl with a single ponytail glanced at the man in front of him who was leaning on crutches in his left hand and even left a huge “X”-shaped scar on his left eye, she staggered her gaze and said in a bad tone, “Please let me go, okay? Mine My husband has only passed away a few days ago, and I don’t want to recall what happened six years ago, so please go back, please?!”
The few people standing outside looked at each other. Hattori Heiji stepped forward and opened the heavy sliding door of the stable. He shouted loudly, “Didn’t you hear people say that? Just let her go!”
The man with pigtails and beard facing his back to the door showed a fierce face, but just a glance back made Heiji feel a sense of oppression.
“What’s the matter? Boy.”
“No… no, it’s fine.”
The corners of Jai Chuan’s mouth twitched slightly, but he was still a middle school student, but he showed panic after being frightened. He maintained a formal smile, looked at the two in front of him and asked, “Excuse me, are you Miss Hutian Yui? ?”
“Ah… I am, may I ask you who are?”
Mouri Kogoro narrowed his eyes and said, “I’m a detective Mouri Kogoro from Tokyo. I want to ask you something. Is it convenient?”
A detective from Tokyo? Yamato dared to help explore and did not look at Kogoro Mauri, but was interested in this smiling young man with glasses. He always felt that this man was not as harmless as he seemed, as if he was hiding something.
“Hmph, are the detectives here?”
“Hey uncle, who are you!”
Hearing Hattori Heiji’s question, Yamato Kansuke turned around and snorted coldly, took out his police officer’s ID card from his pocket, and said, “I am the Nagano police officer in charge of this case, Yamato Kansuke.”
“Criminal, criminal police?”
Hattori Heiji couldn’t help but whispered in his heart: No, he looks so vicious, he thought he was a fugitive, but he didn’t expect it to be a criminal policeman.
“I came here to ask this lady for advice,” Yamato Gansuke turned around and continued after seeing their surprised expressions: “Then this lady, did you have that thing six years ago? Or not?”
When he heard a certain title, Hutian Yui’s expression showed a brief panic, and Minagawa who successfully caught this change in expression raised his brows, it seemed that something had happened between the two? Or they know each other.
“Didn’t I say I’m not in the mood to answer your question right now!”
Yamato dared to help clenched his left hand, which was leaning on the cane. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed Yuyi’s collar. He shouted loudly, “This is a matter of human life. Stop talking nonsense and answer me quickly!!”
Hutian Yuyi obviously didn’t expect him to do such a move. She turned her head and looked away, frowning, “…Okay, I see.”
Yamato dared to release his hand and took a step back, realizing that his behavior was not in line with the rules.
“I remember there was no dead centipede next to the body, just a dead horse, the emaciated body that fell off the cliff with it.”
“Really? Sorry to bother you.”
Just as Yamato dared to leave the stable and was about to go to other places to continue investigating the case, a hand suddenly placed on his left shoulder, maybe it was a conditioned reflex or maybe it was intentional, he clenched his crutches and threw it back sharply.
Snapped.
The crutches were firmly restrained, and Minagawa didn’t expect him to do such a thing, but he quickly reacted and grabbed the crutches that were slapped at his face with an agility that ordinary people couldn’t achieve.
He smirked, with a helpless tone in his voice: “Officer Yamato, I just want to ask you a question. It’s not good to hit the face with a cane like this? If I disfigure my face, it will be difficult for me to find a girlfriend.”
“Hey, this guy is obviously a criminal policeman, but he is very rude!” Hattori Heiji said angrily, if the crutches just now didn’t escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Sorry.” Yamato dared to help retract the crutches and asked, “What’s the problem?”
“What is the meaning of that dead centipede? You must know.”
Yamato dared to raise the corners of his mouth and smiled: “I’m not sure about the specific meaning, but one thing is for sure. If we don’t end this case soon, I’m afraid that there will be one body after another. It’s like a battlefield in the turbulent times of the Warring States Period.”
The chaotic times of the Warring States… Yamato dare to help?
Minagawa was stunned for a moment. This guy’s name is the same as that of Kansuke Yamamoto, a military advisor during the Warring States Period.
Watching Yamato Dasuke leave, Hutian Yuyi stepped forward and looked at Minagawa and said, “This gentleman is sorry, he is just like that, please don’t mind.”
“Oh, I didn’t take it to heart. After all, there is something my teacher wants to ask you about.”
“teacher?”
Maori Kogoro smiled and took out his business card and said, “Hahaha, I’m this guy’s teacher. I don’t know if you have heard of the sleeping Kogoro, who is under me.”
“Sleeping Kogoro? It turns out that you are the famous detective in Tokyo. Naturally, you have heard of it.” Hutian Yui knew that things were going in a bad direction, she made a “please” gesture and said : “Then please go to the reception room with me. It’s not very good to stand here and talk. It will be dinner time soon.”
“Okay okay.”
Following Hutian Yuyi to the reception room of Hutian’s house, Hutian Yuyi also made everyone a cup of brown rice tea, and at the same time called Hutian Fanji, who was more talkative.
“The current point of these two murder cases is that the first person who discovered them was the person next to the victim, right?” Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting cross-legged on the tatami, said.
“And I don’t know why there is a dead centipede’s body next to the body.” Hattori Heiji said, holding his cheeks.
“What makes people curious is the case of Xuanren Jiafei, who fell from a cliff along with a horse while practicing horse archery six years ago, but this was just an ordinary accident and should have nothing to do with these two murders.”
“Well, there doesn’t seem to be a dead centipede next to the body. The premise is that Ms. Torada Yui’s testimony is true.” Hattori Heiji turned his head to look at Yui. Obviously, this person in front of him is also one of the suspects, so I can’t completely trust her words. .
Hutian, who was leaning against the wall with his arms around his chest, looked down at them and said, “Yes, although there are no centipedes next to the body, but as far as death is concerned, it may be the same as the first case where my husband passed away. of.”
“You can’t help you? Don’t you mean that you will die immediately after falling from a cliff?”
Minagawa, who had been silent and did not speak, pushed his glasses and said, “Didn’t Miss Yui have said it before? The body that was found to be a emaciated corpse means that he did not die immediately, but was looking forward to it. and starved to death in despair.”
Everyone’s faces changed, and the kind-hearted Mao Lilan frowned and said, “If it really starved to death… that would be too cruel.”
“You’re right, the cause of death found out after the autopsy was indeed starvation. Because the place where it fell is something ordinary people wouldn’t pass by, it was already a week later when the body was found.”
“A week? Is it too slow?”
“Have you searched carefully?”
Hearing their suspicions, Hutian Yuyi said dissatisfiedly: “Of course I have searched carefully! The police and the villagers are all dispatched, and everyone is working hard day and night to find them, because everyone admires the policeman Jiafei!”
“Then why didn’t I find it for a week? If it fell with the horse, it should be obvious.” Mouri Kogoro wondered.
Shigeru Tota explained: “It was because of the fallen leaves that it was not discovered in time. Mr. Jiafei’s body was covered by the fallen leaves, and the body was buried until it was blown away by the wind. My brother Yoshiro’s body fell out of sight. On better rocks, so it’s easy to spot.”
After hearing about it, Conan hurriedly said, “Big brother, did the whole village immediately look for someone at that time?”
“No, it was after dawn that we started looking for someone, and everyone found out that my brother hadn’t come back before taking action.”
Hearing Fanji’s narration, Hutian Yuyi narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, “Start looking for someone? Didn’t you find my husband’s body by accident on your way to that cave?”
Realizing that he said something wrong, Hutian Shigeru hurriedly said: “Okay, it seems like this!”
“What does that cave mean?”
“It’s just, it’s just my personal interest, it’s like a simulated treasure hunt adventure hahaha!”
The Japanese-style sliding door behind him was slammed open, and Hutian Zhishin, who was standing outside, snorted coldly: “What hobby! I don’t always work hard~www.mtlnovel.com~ I only know that I am obsessed with unrealistic things. You have lost all the faces of the Hutian family!”
Hutian Darong, who was on the side, showed a hopeful expression and said, “You have to fight, Fanji, you are the only heir of this family now, do you know?”
Torano Naobu looked at Mouri Kogoro and began to ask if there was any progress in the case, but the clues he could get so far were limited to the dead centipede’s corpse, which can be said to be zero progress.
“Speaking of Mr. Kang Si, my husband often went to talk to him secretly before he passed away.”
“commune?”
“It’s like saying whether to go or not.”
Hutian Zhixin couldn’t help but said, “I’ve heard about this too. The two of them seem to have said that they are going to see the one-eyed Yamato detective in the near future, and they also said that there might be a big incident, so you need to be mentally prepared.”
Ji Chuanguang watched them say what you said.
The mysterious man who could not be saved, the dead centipede corpse placed next to the body, the mysterious cave, and the two deceased people realized what was about to happen… The development of things became more and more interesting.
“Hey Minagawa, won’t you come with us?” Hattori Heiji looked at Minagawa Kwang who was sitting on the tatami indifferently, and asked in confusion.
“I won’t go.” Jie Chuanxuan yawned pretending to be sleepy, and smiled: “I’ll stay here to accompany these two ladies. I didn’t rest last night, so I was a little sleepy… Besides, I can’t help. What are you busy.”
Playing like a pig and eating a tiger is addictive? Heiji and Conan both showed speechless expressions.
Anyway, it would be good for Minagawa to stay here, at least to protect Xiaolan and Heye.
“Then let’s go!”
