"Yep!"

Dongfang Haoyue nodded in agreement, yawned coquettishly, looked at Kudo Yukiko in a silly and cute way, and said in a cute and sleepy way:

"Sister Yukiko, I'm so sleepy~!"

"Well... in that case, let's go to bed quickly~"

Kudo Yukiko thought for a moment, smiled faintly, and jogged towards the open-air corridor with Dongfang Haoyue in her arms, saying happily:

"Come on, come on, run~~~"

"Eh?"

Dongfang Haoyue was extremely surprised.

She followed Kudo Yukiko's right side and curiously asked:

"Yukiko-nee seems to be so happy all of a sudden, why~?"

"After being busy for so long, I can finally sleep. Of course I have to be happy~"

Kudo Yukiko stepped onto the open-air corridor of the long row of bungalows, and walked leisurely along the corridor to the guest room. She smiled brightly, and said with a firm smile in her heart like a flower:

"Xiao Xin, who has such a strong thirst for knowledge, would not run away after taking a few glances at the abnormal warehouse. He must have found someone special there~~~"

"what?"

Dongfang Haoyue couldn't help but make a silly sound when she saw Kudo Yukiko's joy was beyond words.

Kudo Shinichi always followed Haoyue to the right, looking calmly at the road ahead, shrugging his shoulders in his heart and muttering helplessly:

"It seems... Mom observed our strange reaction and confirmed that Dad was hiding in the dark, otherwise how could she be so happy...

Dad, who is far above the beam, please don't blame us for accidentally leaking the secret...!"

On the other side, Kudo Yusaku sat safely on the ceiling beam in the middle of the first floor of the warehouse, with his back against the vertical beam.

His knees were slightly bent, and his left ear was wearing a black headset connected to a gray plastic wire, the other end of the wire was embedded in the inside of his coat.

Yusaku Kudo methodically pulled down the scarf that covered his mouth and nose, and gracefully took out a lighter and cigarette box from his dark blue suit pocket.

He slowly opened the box, casually took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, put the box away carefully, and pressed the lighter nonchalantly.

In the blink of an eye, the dancing flame ignited the classic cigarette, and a wisp of smoke rose naturally, briefly illuminating Kudo Yusaku's handsome face.

He listened to the gentle voice of Kudo Yukiko coming from the earphones, casually put back the lighter, held the cigarette with his index and middle fingers of his right hand away from his lips, exhaled a cloud of smoke in an elegant and easy-going manner, and smiled helplessly in his heart:

"It seems like she already knows I'm here... Xiaoyue and Xiaoxin can't hide it from her."

--------

The next day, the sun shines brightly.

An open-air corridor in a long row of bungalows.

The tall police officer ran straight to the closed door of the room not far ahead and called out anxiously:

"Detective Yamamura!"

"what?"

Detective Yamamura was only wearing a thin light blue shirt.

He knelt inside the door, unsteadily pushed it open, and rubbed his eyes sleepily and tiredly.

"us!!"

The tall police officer stopped half a meter to the left and in front of the Shancun detective and reported excitedly:

"We found the murder weapon at the bottom of the well!"

"What!?"

The mountain village detective was startled. He pressed his hands on his legs and looked at the tall police officer in extreme surprise.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, wearing thin light blue pajamas, quietly poked their heads out from the right side of the mountain village, curiously looked at the tall police officer with empty hands, and muttered in confusion in their hearts:

"He didn't bring the murder weapon..."

--------

After a short time.

The backyard, the mud ground not far from the ancient well.

The tall police officer held a bloodstained kitchen knife in his hands through his light green raincoat, staring steadily at the village detective in formal attire in front of him, and reported in a serious tone:

"This is it!"

"Um......"

The village detective lowered his head, stared at the kitchen knife intently, pondered for a moment, and murmured thoughtfully:

"The murder weapon was a kitchen knife..."

The village detective clenched his fists and dropped them to his sides. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the tall police officer with a solemn expression. He gave a sharp command:

"Compare the wounds on the bodies immediately!"

"Yes!"

The tall police officer nodded solemnly and was about to turn and leave.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi moved.

They were dressed in formal attire, standing side by side on the left side of the village detective, pointing to the raincoat carrying the kitchen knife in tacit agreement, looking at the tall police officer politely, and curiously asked in unison:

"What is this thing that looks a bit like plastic?"

"Oh, it's a woman's raincoat!"

The tall police officer looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi in a friendly manner and explained calmly:

"When we found the kitchen knife, we found it was wrapped in the raincoat. We don't know why."

"raincoat?"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi looked at the tall police officer with a little surprise and were about to ask further questions.

"Stop ahead!"

The burly police officer stood by the narrow wooden door of the backyard, far to the right of the village detective, holding the shoulders of the middle-aged man who pushed open the wooden door and walked into the yard, and told him righteously:

"Non-related personnel are strictly prohibited from entering the crime scene!"

"what?"

Detective Shancun looked at the burly policeman in surprise and asked loudly in confusion:

"what's going on?"

at the same time.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi took a step back in tacit understanding, turned around, stared at the burly police officer and the middle-aged man, and calmly discovered...

The man was wearing a brown suit, white lining, black tie, and small round-frame glasses. He was holding a black briefcase in his left hand and was resisting the police officer's push.

The sturdy police officer continued to exert his strength, turned his head to look at the mountain village detective, and explained loudly and cautiously:

"This person followed..."

"Did I mention I'm a lawyer?!"

The middle-aged man glared at the burly policeman angrily and shouted at him harshly without disguising his words.

The village detective rarely faced an aggressive lawyer. A drop of sweat flowed down his young face involuntarily, and he tried his best to confirm calmly:

"lawyer?"

"That's right!"

The middle-aged man turned to look at the mountain village detective and told him righteously:

"Last month, the owner of this courtyard, Yoshichika Yabuuchi, passed away due to illness. I am the lawyer who came here to publish his suicide note!"

"Ha ha......"

The wise detective Shancun was thinking of an idea and smiled hesitantly.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi looked at Shancun with confusion, and complained in their hearts incomprehensibly:

"What are you laughing at...?"

"Mr. Lawyer."

The mountain village detective laughed awkwardly for a moment and finally made up his mind.

He walked cautiously towards the confused middle-aged man, stopped steadily to the left of the man, and asked politely without any detective demeanor or toughness:

"I want to discuss something with you, I hope you can agree."

"whats the matter?"

Seeing that the burly policeman no longer leaned against his shoulders, the middle-aged man slowly straightened his collar and looked at the mountain village detective with a steady and composed look.

"I wish..."

Detective Shancun hesitated for a moment, clasped his hands together and placed them in front of his abdomen, and sincerely pleaded:

"I hope you can postpone the announcement of the suicide note."

“How can that be possible!?”

The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed and he became very excited.

He clenched his right fist and waved it in front of his chest, while holding the briefcase tightly with his left hand, and said righteously and passionately:

"Yoshichika is my best friend. How can I delay doing something important that he asked me to do before he died?!"
