"Xiaoyue~~~"

Kudo Yukiko happily stopped between Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, leaning forward slightly and smiling with a crescent-shaped smile.

Haoyue smiled sweetly and was about to guide Yukiko back to the crime scene.

"what?"

In order to avoid being teased by Kudo Yukiko, Kudo Shinichi took the initiative to let go of Dongfang Haoyue's white and tender little hand, looked at Yukiko in surprise, and asked curiously:

"What did you find?"

"No~"

Kudo Yukiko turned sideways, with her hands still behind her back, and looked closely at Kudo Shinichi, mischievously denying:

"Nothing~"

"what?"

Kudo Shinichi made a silly and cute sound, secretly exposing it in his heart:

“I clearly saw my mother squatting on the ground.

Although I didn't see the mother's actions, a normal person would not squat on the ground for no reason. They would only do that when picking up something.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter if mom doesn’t say anything. Haoyue should have seen what mom did and what she picked up.”

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi shrugged his shoulders casually until the next second.

“La la la~~~~~”

Yukiko Kudo straightened up and hummed a melodious tune happily.

“It sounds so good~~~”

Dongfang Haoyue raised his hands actively, looked at Kudo Yukiko with a smile on his face, and said with genuine support:

"Sister Yukiko sings so beautifully~~~!"

As Dongfang Haoyue was talking, she covered her face with her hands in her heart and praised shyly:

"Sister Yukiko and Uncle Yusaku have been married for many years and still maintain an attitude like first love. This is the taste of love~~~"

"Uh......"

Kudo Shinichi is the complete opposite.

He stared blankly at Kudo Yukiko, muttering in his heart:

"Mom, what happened...?"

"Hey, you three!"

Detective Shancun couldn't stand it anymore.

He stood quietly outside the bathroom building from beginning to end, patiently waiting for Kudo and the other two to return. Unexpectedly, the three did not move at all. He reminded loudly with melancholy:

"It's time for you three to go back to your rooms!"

"Here it comes~~~"

Dongfang Haoyue looked back at Detective Yamamura and responded happily. He grabbed Kudo Yukiko's soft arm with his left hand, and took Kudo Shinichi's hand with his right hand and walked towards the long row of bungalows far behind.

As Shinichi walked, he turned to look at Haoyue and asked curiously in a low voice:

"What did my mom pick up earlier?"

"A cigarette, and Sister Yukiko smiled very happily when she picked up the cigarette. I think it was Uncle Yusaku's cigarette."

Dongfang Haoyue turned to look at Kudo Shinichi, smiling and whispering mischievously:

"No normal person would smile happily when picking up cigarettes, unless they picked up evidence that proves their loved one came here~"

"No wonder mom seems like a different person..."

Kudo Shinichi shook his head helplessly and whispered casually:

"It seems that the fact that Dad came here secretly can no longer be concealed."

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter, as long as Sister Yukiko and Uncle Yusaku are happy~"

Dongfang Haoyue shrugged her shoulders coquettishly, looking extremely happy.

"Oh, right, Haoyue."

Kudo Shinichi slightly grasped Dongfang Haoyue's soft little hand, and asked in a puzzled voice:

"Before in the temple, why did Haoyue suddenly become aggrieved and pitiful......?"

"Isn't it that Shinichi responded to Sister Yukiko in a refuting tone, which proves that Shinichi and I knew that Uncle Yusaku was coming here."

Dongfang Haoyue puffed up her cheeks and stared at Kudo Shinichi, complaining angrily in a low voice:

"What if Sister Yukiko blames us for not reporting the crime?"

"What...what a heinous crime...!"

Kudo Shinichi's mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered in confusion:

"Haoyue's way of using adjectives is as exaggerated as ever..."

"Humph."

Dongfang Haoyue dragged the humming Kudo Yukiko with her left hand and walked into the open-air corridor. She shook Kudo Shinichi's white and tender little hand with her right hand and said in a proud and coquettish voice:

"If Shinichi hadn't let it slip, I wouldn't have imagined the tragic scene of Sister Yukiko not giving us any food for ten days and ten nights, starving us to death!"

"Ten days and ten nights...no food...starved to death...?"

Kudo Shinichi was confused.

He continued walking along the corridor, looking at Dongfang Haoyue in confusion, and then he said weakly with sudden realization:

"Haoyue actually thought so horribly of my mother. No wonder tears are about to flow down my cheeks......!"

"Oh, I admit that my imagination was a little rich at that time, but...but..."

Dongfang Haoyue turned his head and looked forward, and said in a low voice that was difficult to speak:

"In this dangerous atmosphere, I couldn't help but think of Yukiko-san as a bad person!"

"Although my mother often bullies me, Haoyue is not that bad..."

Kudo Shinichi couldn't continue talking.

He followed Dongfang Haoyue into the Buddhist hall, and was keenly aware of the mixed looks from the people in the room, and he smiled awkwardly.

--------

After a short time.

Buddhist temple.

Everyone gathered around the wooden table, some sitting and some standing.

"Zizzizi."

It was the sound of Hidekazu Yuuchi kneeling on a cushion and playing a tape.

next second.

"Hey, Machiko!"

On the wooden table, the noise of the party came from a large old black tape recorder.

Yuuchi Hiromi knelt on the right side of Yuuchi Hidekazu, straightened her thighs against the wooden table, bent over, supported the wooden table with her forearms, looked at the recorder closely, suppressed her surprise and made a judgment:

"This is the noise of my aunt attending the party tonight."

"Did you really find the tape next to the stove?"

Hidekazu Yuuchi turned his head to look at Detective Yamamura behind him on the right and raised his question rationally.

Shancun leaned against the tatami and confirmed hastily:

"Yes, it is."

at the same time.

Kudo Shinichi's expression was very solemn.

He stood silently half a meter behind the right side of the mountain village detective, staring at the recorder closely, and said sternly in his heart:

“As expected!

According to my reasoning, all of Ms. Machiko's strange behaviors can be reasonably explained."

Kudo Shinichi looked at the people of the Yuuchi family who were standing or sitting around the wooden table not far in front of him, listening to the tape quietly, and said in his heart:

"That's right, it was the person who said those strange words who killed Machiko!"

at the same time.

Dongfang Haoyue stood on the left of Kudo Shinichi, admiring Shinichi's handsome face with pleasure, and said happily in his heart:

"Shinichi's expression tells me... this murder case can be declared solved~

However...Detective Mori and Sonoko are not present, so Shinichi will most likely ask Sister Yukiko to cooperate with him in explaining his reasoning.

Wow, I'm so excited when I think about it!!!

I actually had the chance to hear Shinichi using a voice changer to become Yukiko's voice, interpreting Yukiko's tone and intonation!!

It’s so exciting! ”

Dongfang Haoyue thought about it and turned his head with anticipation.

She looked to her left, where Yukiko Kudo was standing slenderly with her hands in her jeans pockets, staring intently at the radio, and sincerely hoped that Yukiko could cooperate with Shinichi Kudo in explaining her reasoning.
