Stay away from Conan

Chapter 67 Fragments

This suspension bridge located on the mountainside is the only channel from Shiwuye Village to the outside world. The temporary base of the Metropolitan Police Department police is in the village at the foot of the mountain. At the moment, the only police in the village are the police stationed in charge of this area. Sincerity.

"I'm late!"

Kudo Shinichi said angrily.

"But, Shinichi, how did you know there would be a problem here on the suspension bridge?"

Xiaolan asked curiously.

"When you said the phone call couldn't be made, I thought that the murderer planned to trap us all in the village until the serial killings were over!"

"All? Will anyone be killed?"

Xiaolan was surprised after hearing what Kondo said.

Kudo nodded, took out the fragments he just picked up, and said, "Yeah. Until these fragments are put together!"

Returning to the sacred perch at the ruins, everyone in the villa rushed over at this moment. Also here were several village names and the old woman with high prestige in the village. Now the villagers The only policeman among them, Tu Shi Isheng, was also called to the scene.

Seeing Ryouji Wakura dead on the sacred perch, the younger daughter and Misa Kura leaned on the eldest sister and Kotomi Kura, crying and shouting "Ryouji"'s name.

Kudo, who returned here, looked at everyone and still told the story about the suspension bridge. Wakura Yoichi said in surprise: "So, we can't leave the village?"

Tushi Yicheng also added at this time: "Even the wireless intercom at the village duty station has been destroyed. The phone cannot be used either."

"Even a walkie-talkie?"

Kudo Shinichi asked in surprise.

"This is the curse of the big bird!"

The old woman looked at the Wakura family members sternly and said, "The big bird god is angry! Come on, get out of the village!"

"That's right! Leave now!"

Several villagers echoed, "Don't offend the Bird God again!"

As he spoke, he gathered the three children of the Wakura family in the middle, accusing them.

"Please calm down!"

Tushi Yicheng stepped forward and reassured: "We will find a way to repair the suspension bridge and telephone. Now please go home quickly! In short, just in case, don't be alone. Please act as a group and cooperate! Please Everyone!"

Under the persuasion of Tushi Yicheng, the excited villagers calmed down and gradually left the scene and returned to their homes.

Looking at Wakura Ryoji's body still on the sacred perch, Kudo Shinichi felt a little strange - why did Mr. Ryoji come here so late? And what does the bird-like sound heard in the villa have to do with the method of killing?

Back in the villa, Feili listened to Xiaolan's narration and said: "The suspension bridge is hanging at the other end of the village, which means that the murderer burned the suspension bridge in the village. In other words..."

"Yes. The murderer is still in the village."

Kudo Shinichi said.

"who is the next?"

Sitting on the sofa with Kura Yoichi, his nerves were tense.

"Who could it be?"

He said again, looking at Kotomi Wakura aside, "It's consistent with the threatening letter, maybe the next one..."

"It's me, or Brother Yang..."

With a trembling tone, Kotomi Wakura said, looking at Misa Wakura who was standing aside, "Misa, maybe it's you."

Looking at the three people who were speculating on each other at this time, Kudo stepped forward and asked: "After dinner, that is, at nine o'clock in the evening, Mr. Liangji was still in the villa at that time, and everyone saw it. Xiaolan and I went out for a walk and found The time for the corpse is eleven o'clock."

As he said that, he looked at everyone in the living room and asked:

"For two hours between nine and eleven o'clock in the evening, I would like to confirm your alibi."

"Alibi?"

When Kudo said this, Wakura Yoichi was a little excited, "Do you suspect that one of us killed Ryouji?"

"Mr. Yoichi, is it possible that you have something to hide?"

Kudo asked back, making Wakura Yoyo even more excited, "That's nonsense."

Seeing this subtle development, Suzuki Sonoko spoke up, wanting to break the current atmosphere.

"At around ten o'clock, I was chatting with Xiaolan and my aunt, and then I fell asleep deeply."

"Where's the alibi?"

Wakura Kotomi suddenly shouted, "We are just in our room!"

Wakura Yoichi and Wakura Misa also nodded to this.

"If that's the case, then the same goes for dad!"

Shockingly, Kotomi Wakura said, "There is no alibi!"

There was silence in the living room. Kudo Shinichi did not continue to ask, and then changed the subject.

"Then, does Mr. Ryoji have any grudges with anyone?"

"Although various things have happened, I don't think I can hate him enough to be killed."

"But isn't there a loan? After Liangji became independent, although he ran his family's chain store and other restaurants, they were not managed well. I don't know how much he borrowed."

As soon as Yo finished speaking, Kotomi added.

"That's better than raising a good-for-nothing man."

In response to Kotomi's interruption, Yoichi replied, "I heard that the other person is a not-so-popular musician."

"so what!"

Kotomi asked back, "It's better than Brother Yoichi who wanted to make some pocket money online, but ended up losing too much by trading foreign exchange, and had to go to his father to cry and complain!"

"Stop talking, both of you!"

Seeing the two people at war with each other, Wakura Misa whispered to stop them.

"But the death of Mr. Kosaka and Ryouji is indeed a happy thing for Brother Yoichi."

Kotomi ignored Misa and continued.

"What did you say? This must be the same for Kotomi!"

Yoichi retorted.

"Please! Stop making noise!"

Misa couldn't stand it anymore and came between the two to dissuade them, so Yoichi and Kotomi went back to the room angrily.

Seeing this, Kudo did not continue to ask, but took the fragments from Ryouji's scene and put them together with the fragments from Kosaka's scene before. The broken corners could fit together tightly to form a semicircular object.

Seeing this, Fei Lili, Xiaolan and Yuanzi were all surprised and came over to take a look.

"This is……"

Looking at the patterns formed together, Kudo began to think, while Xiaolan looked at it, pointed out one of the patterns that looked like a character and said: "This is... a man, is he running?"

"What does this painting mean?"

Kudo was puzzled, but his attention was focused on the two symbols at the corner, "It looks like some kind of text symbol."

"If it's some kind of ancient text, there are books on it in my dad's study."

After hearing Kudo's words, Misa Wakura spoke up.

So, led by Wakura Misa, Kudo and others came to the study room of the villa. Looking at the various books related to legends and ruins in the study, Kudo suddenly remembered what Yukai Wakura said when entering the Mozu Sho Shrine: "It's very similar to the legends in the Mayan civilization and the Fobina ruins." of."

Immediately, Kudo immediately found books on this subject. Soon, I found the same content as the symbols on the fragments, and also learned the meaning of these two symbols: "betrayal" and "curse"!
