Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

Officer Megure drove Kudo Yusaku and Monáe Mingyue back as agreed. While waiting for the traffic light, there was a crow hiding from the rain under the eaves.

"Ka~ka~ka~" Three crows were heard.

Kudo Yusaku also heard it, looked in the direction of the crow, and said, "It seems Yukiko and the others missed us."

Mingyue turned to look at Kudo Yusaku, a little confused.

"The three crows of crows convey the thoughts of our loved ones to us. Whether it is Britain or Japan, crows are auspicious birds and the supreme sacred birds. They are the descendants of Yatagarasu, and some shrines still enshrine crows. They believe that crows are gods and can guide humans towards the light." Yusaku Kudo explained to Mingyue.

Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "Is it just like the British royal family? They regard crows as their patron saint."

Kudo Yusaku nodded and said: "This is about the Yatagarasu. He is the messenger of the sun god Amaterasu in Japanese mythology. He has three legs and the Yatagarasu Magatama bird hanging around his neck. Three The foot represents the rising sun, daylight, and setting sun. He was born from the sun, returned to the sun when he died, and was reborn in the flames of the sun."

When Officer Megure heard the flames, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Yusaku, have you figured out how to make the car burn?"

"Actually, the technique is very simple. The sound we heard was not the sound of a vehicle hitting the door, but the sound of a remote-controlled bomb exploding. The door of Mingyue's house is very strong, so this technique can be completed."

Although Officer Megure had a hunch that the door to Monáe's house might be an important clue, he didn't understand what role it played. "To be more specific, I don't quite understand."

Kudo Yusaku cleared his throat and explained what he had analyzed, "The method of committing the crime is to first park the car at the door, then fix the body in the driver's seat, and let the body step on the accelerator, or use something Something pressed down on the accelerator and started the car. The door was heavy and strong, so the car couldn't move in a short period of time. After all this was done, the prisoner went to a safe area and activated the bomb. The impact of the bomb blew the door open, The car moved forward and the bomb caused the accelerant in the car to ignite, so the car caught fire and the fire was very strong."

Officer Memu nodded thoughtfully, "This is a method of faking death. Unfortunately, DNA can still be detected."

"The purpose of soaking the corpse in formalin was actually to destroy the DNA structure and then burn it, all in an attempt to conceal the true identity of the corpse. Choosing Mingyue's house also wanted the police to discover the corpse earlier, so that he could quickly fake his death and escape. After all, if it is judged missing, the body in the car will be strictly investigated, but the death will not." Kudo Yusaku continued to explain.

Officer Megure nodded, "So, Naoto Nagamori should have been eyeing that door a long time ago. There was only that door nearby that could allow him to complete this plan. But why he chose to fake his death to escape has become a mystery. , and where did that body come from.”

Officer Megure sighed helplessly. One puzzle was solved, but a new one followed.

Kudo Yusaku also fell into deep thought. For a while, the car was quiet, with only the sound of rain outside the window.

Mingyue looked out of the car window. The neon lights in the mist were beautiful and lonely. She thought: If Naoto Nagamori's wife had come after the incident and was sure that the person in the car must be her husband, then the situation would be different. , the police may not be so serious about searching for the source of the body, and quickly define this as an accident. After all, a company that can still extract three million in cash is not a company that is in financial crisis.

Mingyue looked at Officer Megure and Kudo Yusaku who were still discussing the case, and sighed. A seemingly incompatible couple, a husband who had to fake his own death to escape, and a wife who seemed to have no idea. So there is only one source of crisis for the deceased Naoto Nagamori, and that is his wife Misaki Nagamori. Unfortunately, one died and the other was taken away by the police.

While Mingyue was thinking, the car had slowly stopped at the door of Kudo's house. Kudo Yusaku and Mingyue got out of the car, and when they were saying goodbye to Officer Megure, Officer Megure's cell phone rang.

"What! Misaki Nagamori is dead!" Officer Megure roared into the phone.

Mingyue frowned.

Officer Megure put down his phone and let out a long sigh.

Kudo Yusaku patted Officer Megure on the shoulder, "Come on!"

"It's not about working hard, it's about working overtime." Officer Megure tied up his loosened tie, "You go back, we will investigate this kind of thing clearly, after all, it happened under our noses."

Officer Megure glanced at the bright moon next to Yusaku, and said to Yusaku: "Then I'll say goodbye first." After that, Officer Megure drove away.

Mingyue looked at Kudo Yusaku and found that he was also frowning.

But when Kudo Yusaku noticed Mingyue's gaze, a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Megure Jusan is a very reliable detective. Although he has no talent for reasoning, he has a strong sense of responsibility. And very good at listening to other people’s opinions.”

Mingyue nodded.

"Come in, Yukiko is waiting for us."

"Uncle Yuzuo, I..." Mingyue was about to refuse.

"Don't say anything negative. Even if you eat a lot in the afternoon, you are still hungry now. You probably don't want to go back to make noodles. Yukiko has made a lot of delicious food." Kudo Yusaku said with a straight face. , pretending to be angry.

At this time, Yukiko's voice came from a distance: "Yusaku! Mingyue! If you want to speak, please go inside first. Don't stand in the heavy rain."

Yusaku looked at Mingyue, who nodded and walked into Kudo's house.

At the entrance, Mingyue saw a pair of women's small leather shoes, which were very similar to those worn by the girl she bumped into this afternoon. Mingyue put away the big black umbrella and found the pink umbrella on the umbrella stand.

Is it really that girl?

What urgent matter did she have to come here for?

Mingyue inserted the big black umbrella into the umbrella stand, changed into indoor slippers, entered the living room, and saw the girl who collided with her.

The girl seemed to be chatting with Kudo Shinichi, with a happy smile on her face, which was dazzling.

The raincoat that Kudo Yusaku took off was taken away by Yukiko. Kudo Shinichi noticed Mingyue standing at the door, and Mao Lilan also turned to look over.

"Eh? You are the one I met this afternoon!" Mao Lilan seemed to recognize Mingyue.

Mingyue smiled and said: "Hello, I am Monnai Mingyue who lives in 19th Fandi next door."

Mao Lilan smoothed the hair that fell on her shoulders, stared at Mingyue's smiling face, and said, "My name is Mao Lilan. My father, Maori Kogoro, is a detective, and my mother is a very famous lawyer."

Mingyue blinked. She was not the daughter of a police officer, but the daughter of a detective? Logically speaking, when Officer Megure picked up Uncle Yusaku and me to go to the crime scene today, it was downstairs from his father's detective agency.

According to Uncle Yusaku, Officer Megure is good at listening to other people's opinions, so the detective upstairs should also call...

"Mingyue, what kind of case did you and your dad encounter when you went out?" Kudo Shinichi came close to Mingyue, covering his mouth with his hand, and whispered, but his eyes were always focused on Mao Lilan.

Mingyue half-moon looked at Kudo Shinichi, "Kudo-kun, do you want to be so mysterious when you talk in your own home?"

Mao Lilan quickly jumped between the two of them, "Can't I know what you are talking about?"

Mingyue clearly saw a big drop of sweat on Kudo Shinichi's face.

"Wash your hands and eat." Yukiko's voice came from the kitchen to the living room.

Mingyue looked at Mao Lilan, who had a bad look in her eyes, and said that she was going to help Aunt Yukiko serve the dishes, then quickly slipped away and entered the kitchen.

"Xinyi, what did you just say to Mingyue? Is there something I can't know?" Mao Lilan continued to ask.

Kudo Shinichi scratched his face and said, "Actually, I just asked her what she and her dad were doing when they went out."

"Actually, I met her on the way here. She seemed to say she had something to deal with." Mao Lilan tried to recall, "But I didn't see your father, I only saw her on the road."

Kudo Shinichi rubbed his chin with his fingers, lost in thought.

However, Yukiko stretched her head into the living room and said, "Mingyue has helped put the dishes on the table, why don't you come over to eat?"

The five people sat at the dining table, and a pleasant atmosphere rippled on the dining table. However, Mingyue felt that she seemed to be the extra one, but on the surface, she was still the same as everyone else.

After the meal, Ming Yue still helped Yukiko clean up, and Mao Lilan also joined in to help. Kudo Shinichi also followed into the kitchen. Yusaku picked up the evening newspaper, looked at the four people in the kitchen, and shook his head helplessly.

Yukiko looked at Mao Lilan, who was holding a pile of clean bowls but standing there, and said, "Mingyue, help me put away the washed bowls." After that, she continued to clean the stove.

Mingyue took the bowl Yukiko had washed from Mao Lilan and put it in the cupboard.

"Why are the furnishings in Xinyi's mother's kitchen so familiar to you?" Mao Lilan asked, staring at Mingyue.

After Mingyue placed the clean tableware in the correct place, she said, "Aunt Yukiko promised to teach me how to cook. I will be her little helper."

"Are you learning to cook for Xinyi?" Mao Lilan looked at Mingyue who was busy and continued to ask.

Mingyue tilted her head and looked at Mao Lilan, "Wouldn't it be better to make it for yourself? Or make it for Aunt Yukiko."

Mao Lilan didn't speak and stared at the bright moon, with a pair of big watery eyes staring at the bright moon.

Mingyue was confused, then looked at Kudo Shinichi and said, "Your little tame girlfriend?"

Kudo Shinichi's face suddenly turned red.

Mao Lilan blushed and poked her fingers, and whispered: "You are right, but we are not boyfriend and girlfriend yet."

Yukiko looked at Shinichi like this and sighed silently.

"Mingyue, Mingyue, I have an answer to the question you asked before. Please listen to me." Shinichi eagerly wanted to change the topic.

Mao Lilan turned to look at Shinichi and asked, "What's the question?"

"You three little guys go and discuss the topics you are interested in. I will clean up the kitchen." Yukiko spoke.

At this time Yuzu also stood up and said: "Okay, don't crowd around in the kitchen, let's go to the study."

On the way, Kudo Shinichi told Mao Lilan about Mingyue Chu's topic, and Mao Lilan frowned along the way.

"What kind of topic is this? How can there be a wife who kills her husband?" Mao Lilan asked incomprehensibly, "Just like my parents, although they are separated, they must love each other."

Kudo Shinichi smiled coquettishly and said: "Actually, after I thought about it later, the wife's purpose was to blame the murderer on the child. As you said before, a six-year-old child is not Will be blamed.

"The wife is selfish, and the mother said that she married into a wealthy family because she became pregnant before marriage, which shows that she is very scheming. She hoped to be called a wife forever and have status and wealth, so she killed her husband."

Shinichi looked up at the curved roof of the study and continued: "Because I don't think the mother would necessarily kill her son, nor would the six-year-old son kill his father. It could only be the wife who killed her husband. And the motive is still divorce, although It’s not clear why the divorce was necessary, but what is certain is that the ambiguity between the husband and his subordinates is false.”

"Xinyi, this kind of question is meaningless at all. It's just a guess." Mao Lilan stood in front of Xinyi and stared at Xinyi and said.

Mingyue was looking at the dazzling array of mystery novels on the bookshelf, "Your analysis is indeed correct, but there are a few points you didn't take into consideration:

"First, my wife's education is not high, so she may have chosen the worst solution. But under what circumstances did she choose the worst option?

"Second, who caused the child's injuries? If it wasn't someone from the kindergarten, then it would be someone at home, or the child himself?

"Thirdly, why would the child keep silent about this matter?"

Kudo Shinichi was stunned by Mingyue's three questions.

"Shinichi, will you wear a yukata during the fireworks display?" Mao Lilan stared at Kudo Shinichi with her big eyes.

Shinichi looked at Mao Lilan, and seemed to think of something in a flash of lightning, "The husband was drunk and beat people and children. The wife stopped her husband out of desperation."

Mingyue took out a book from the bookshelf, looked at Kudo Shinichi, and said: "Actually, the wife loves the child, and the child also loves the mother. The reason why the wife wants to put the blame on the child is because a six-year-old child doesn't know how to Being held accountable, she can be around her child and continue to care for her.

"If she goes to jail, then the child can only be handed over to his grandmother. Grandma is a bitter and mean person. So even though it is her own grandson, there is still a difference between the mother's care and the grandmother's care."

With tears in her eyes, Mao Lilan said, "Is the case you are talking about real? That wife is so pitiful."

"It's just a puzzle, don't cry." Kudo Shinichi noticed the tears in Mao Lilan's eyes and quickly comforted him.

Mingyue tilted her head and looked at the interaction between Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, curled her lips and said, "Actually, there is a darker statement, do you want to hear it?"

Shinichi didn't answer, but Mingyue didn't seem to care if anyone replied to her, and just continued talking.

"Because he is the head of the family, it is common for a husband to beat and scold his children and his wife, as well as his mother. The mother has been resentful of her for a long time, so the mother told her husband that her husband had a subordinate in the company, and that subordinate Ambiguous relationship with husband.

"Although the wife is submissive, she has some scheming intentions. After all, things like getting pregnant out of wedlock are possible, so in order to preserve her status, it is okay to kill her husband and blame her son.

"So that day when the wife saw her husband drinking, she asked about things in the company. When the husband saw that the matter was exposed, he beat his wife and son. The wife resisted hard, but she was too weak and did not kill her, but the husband still came down the stairs. Fell down.

"The husband's mother saw it, and also saw his wife who fell on the stairs, and knew that her plan had succeeded. Her son was dead, her daughter-in-law was in prison, and she could enjoy life alone with her young grandson. "

After hearing Mingyue's words, Kudo Shinichi curled his lips and said, "This is too dark."

"Mr. Detective, what do you think of this kind of committing a crime through the hands of others? And there is no evidence." Mingyue tilted her head and looked at Kudo Shinichi.

Mao Lilan's face was pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said, "What a terrible mother-in-law."

The sound of rain outside seemed to be much quieter, but the wind was still blowing loudly, passing through the alleys and through the gaps between every branch of the big tree, rolling up the leaves without knowing its destination.

The woman in a white shirt opened the door at the back of the cold storage alone, looked at the scene in front of her, and talked to herself.

"We were also childhood sweethearts, but our childhood sweethearts were no match for Heaven's Fall."

The woman smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Are you cold now?"

"But my heart is even colder."

"That girl is just like me..."
