After a short time.

The courtyard and open-air corridor of the Yanai family.

"No matter what, you must be under the surveillance of our police when you sleep tonight."

Detective Shancun stood in the corridor, looking at the people in front of him. He pointed his right index finger at the ceiling over his shoulder and said calmly:

"The victim's brother may still be lingering nearby. You must not let your guard down!"

Having said this, Detective Yamamura turned around and cautiously walked along the open corridor to a room.

Except for Kudo and his two companions, everyone else followed closely behind.

Yoshiyuki Yarouchi fell behind the team, his hands in his trouser pockets, complaining unhappily:

"I actually have to sleep together with that rookie detective!"

"Really annoying."

Keiko Yuuchi followed on the left side of Yoshiyuki Yuuchi, with her hands behind her back and her right hand holding her left wrist, staring at the young back of Detective Yamamura with displeasure.

"Hey, Xiaoyue, Xiaoxin."

Yukiko Kudo is a beautiful and graceful lady.

She put her hands behind her back, clasped them together, and calmly watched everyone walk away. She asked for their opinions in a gentle manner:

"How's your reasoning going?"

"not sure."

Kudo Shinichi stood on the left of Kudo Yukiko, looking straight ahead, with his fingers interlocked behind his head, his words filled with defiance and rebellion until the next second.

"Boom!"

It is the gentle tapping of justice.

Dongfang Haoyue gracefully withdrew his right hand, turned to look at the pitiful Kudo Shinichi, and taught him seriously:

"You should talk to your mother nicely and not be too arrogant!"

"Hahaha~~~"

Yukiko Kudo happily admired Shinichi Kudo's cute face that looked aggrieved, and laughed with her red lips slightly covered.

Seeing that Shinichi remained silent, Dongfang Haoyue rubbed Shinichi's head as if caressing him, carefully observing Shinichi's facial expression of enjoyment, and judged helplessly:

"Shinichi really doesn't know the truth of this murder case."

"what?"

Kudo Yukiko put down her right hand in a silly manner, leaned forward slightly, folded her hands in front of her, tilted her head to look at Kudo Shinichi, observed carefully but to no avail, and asked in confusion:

"Why do you say that, Xiaoyue?"

"Shinichi's face is full of mystery."

Dongfang Haoyue continued to rub Kudo Shinichi's smooth hair, looked at the silent Shinichi with a smile, and explained seriously:

"Shinichi was thinking... Although not finding the real murderer means that the stupid detective will take Yukiko away for a full investigation, there are really too many mysteries right now.

For example... a car abandoned in the forest... an empty cassette... and...

And the body was not thrown directly into the well, but was tied with a rope before being thrown into the well."

"what???"

Yukiko Kudo was confused.

She stared at Kudo Shinichi's handsome face again and again, and complained incomprehensibly:

"Just by observing Shin-chan's expression, you can understand Shin-chan's complicated inner thoughts???

How did you do this? Xiaoyue is so amazing!"

As Kudo Yukiko spoke, she clasped her hands in front of her collar and looked at Dongfang Haoyue with envy, wishing she also had the ability to read Kudo Shinichi's inner world.

"Hahaha, it's nothing~"

Dongfang Haoyue gracefully withdrew his right hand, held the back of his head, smiled embarrassedly, and explained happily:

"I just watched and I knew what Shinichi wanted to say~!"

The voice just fell.

"Let's not talk about the man wearing sunglasses for now."

Kudo Shinichi lost Dongfang Haoyue's loving touch, and after regaining his senses, he looked at Kudo Yukiko with a serious expression and analyzed calmly:

"The prisoner tied one end of the rope embedded in the pulley to the waist of the corpse and threw it into the bottom of the well. It looked very hidden, but in fact...

The wooden barrel hanging below the ceiling and tied to the other end of the rope seemed to urge us to go forward and check quickly.

In other words, the criminal's irrational behavior must have a deeper meaning, but I just can't think of it for the time being."

"Let's think about it tomorrow. It's already late today, we should go to bed~"

Kudo Yukiko nimbly stood between Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, holding their backs with one hand each, and gently pushed them towards the room arranged for them by Detective Yamamura.

Haoyue looked ahead with deep melancholy, and said with regret and helplessness in his heart:

"I was thinking I could kiss Shinichi tonight, but we all have to sleep together... It's really a headache...!"

The thought just fell.

"what?"

As Kudo Shinichi was walking, he suddenly noticed that the door of the first floor of the warehouse building in the distance to the left was half open, and he subconsciously said in surprise:

"The warehouse door was always open?"

"I am not sure."

Yukiko Kudo stopped and looked at the warehouse in surprise.

"Um......"

Dongfang Haoyue's eyes were fixed on the warehouse door, and his thoughts raced through his mind in a flash.

She smiled, holding Kudo Shinichi and Kudo Yukiko's hands, and rushed to the warehouse happily, suggesting in a seemingly cheerful manner:

"Let's go over and take a look~"

Actually...

Dongfang Haoyue smiled happily in her heart and said mischievously:

“Maybe~~~

Uncle Yusaku is hiding in the warehouse~~~!"

--------

Twelve seconds later.

A dark warehouse with a tall and wide first floor.

"Click."

It was the sound of Kudo Shinichi pushing open the sliding wooden door.

He walked into the door holding Dongfang Haoyue's hand and took three steps forward. He methodically took out the small silver flashlight specially made by Dr. Agasa from his shirt pocket, pointed it at the road ahead, and casually pressed the switch.

In an instant, a faint beam of light emanated from the flashlight, leisurely illuminating the entire warehouse.

"A thumb-sized flashlight?"

Kudo Yukiko tilted her head, looked at the flashlight curiously, and guessed puzzledly:

"One of Dr. Agasa's great inventions?"

"Ok!"

Dongfang Haoyue still held Kudo Yukiko's hand with his left hand, nodded with a smile on his face, let go of Kudo Shinichi with his right hand, pointed his index finger at the flashlight, and explained happily:

"Because we often encounter dim environments, and our pockets have to carry a lot of things, such as ropes, gloves, and handkerchiefs, so I took Shinichi and asked the doctor to research a small flashlight~

Although the flashlight is a bit dim due to the limited battery power, it has a very wide illumination range~!"

"The Doctor is truly amazing."

Kudo Yukiko nodded slightly in approval and was about to look up to scan the warehouse.

"Snapped."

It was the crisp sound of Kudo Shinichi turning off the flashlight.

He no longer looked at the familiar figure above the beam, deftly held Dongfang Haoyue's soft little hand, walked toward the door at an unhurried pace, put away the flashlight as if nothing had happened, and calmly gestured:

"Let's go, there are no suspicious people here."

Before Kudo Shinichi finished speaking, he said happily in his heart:

"I didn't lie to mom. Dad sitting on the beam in the warehouse is not a suspicious person~"

"So~"

Dongfang Haoyue understood that Kudo Shinichi would turn around and leave only when he saw Kudo Yusaku. He skillfully led Kudo Yukiko by the hand and followed Shinichi on his left side. He tilted his head and said excitedly:

"Let's go to bed quickly~"

“Eh, eh?”

Yukiko Kudo exclaimed repeatedly.

She was forced to keep moving forward, looking at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi curiously, and confirmed with confusion:

"Why don't Xiaoyue and Xiaoxin watch for a while?"

"Shh."

It was the sound of Kudo Shinichi walking in and closing the door.

He raised his right hand, turned to look at Kudo Yukiko, and explained confidently:

"It's late, Haoyue must sleep to stay healthy!"
