Chapter 73 Flowers

"Which three?"

Hearing what Kudo Shinichi said, Gao Yuan asked.

"Chairman Wakura, Ms. Misa, and Issei the police officer."

Kudo Shinichi said.

"So when Mr. Liang Er died and Miss Qin Mei had an accident, did they have an alibi?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Mr. Liang Er died at night, and no one has an alibi. And when Ms. Qinmei had an accident..."

Kudo Shinichi thought about it, ran out of the room, found Suzuki Sonoko and Mimi, and began to ask about the whereabouts of He Cang Misa and He Cang Yonghai today. Cang Yonghai has been sleeping in his room.

After getting such a result, Shinichi Kudo said to Gao Yuan: "Then it seems that the suspicion of Miss Misa can also be ruled out. Only President Wakura and the police officer Tushi are left."

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then the problem lies in the murderer's motive."

Looking at the fragments that Kudo Shinichi found at the scene, Gao Yuan said: "Maybe it has something to do with these fragments. Could this ancient mirror be the ancient mirror mentioned in the legend of Fifteen Nights Village?"

"If this is the case, then why is half of it grown here in Hecang?"

Kudo Shinichi thought about it, Gao Yuan thought about it, and said, "It seems that I have to ask the old people in the village if they know anything."

So Kudo Shinichi and Gao Yuan immediately went out to find someone to ask.

The resident population of Fifteen Nights Village is not large, and most of them are old people, but because of the relationship with the Cang family, the people in the village are very unfriendly to Gao Yuan and Kudo Shinichi who came to ask for news, and shouted for them to get out quickly village.

Faced with such a situation, Gao Yuan and Kudo Shinichi also knew that it was impossible to continue looking for them to ask for any information.

But now that he came out, Gao Yuan proposed to visit the shrine in the village, and Kudo Shinichi, who heard this, thought of the prestigious old woman in the village, she looked like a priest of the shrine, So he took Gao Yuan to the Mozu Shrine in the village.

Passing through the entrance of the shrine built by the cave built on the mountain, the two of them came to the center of the shrine through the cave. The center of this open space surrounded by mountains is the shrine where Mr. Sho Kosaka died.

According to his memory, Kudo Shinichi recalled that the day he first came, Tsushi Issei was carrying things to the hole on the side, so he went there, and Takato came to the god's perch and began to move the piece Round manhole cover.

"You will be punished!"

At this time, the old woman came out from the entrance of the cave, saw Gao Yuan who was moving the boulder, and said in a hoarse voice.

"What are you doing! Want to be the fourth sacrifice?"

Hearing what the old woman said, Gao Yuan and Kudo Shinichi were obviously taken aback for a moment, Gao Yuan immediately stopped what he was doing, and Kudo Shinichi stepped forward and asked, "The fourth! What does the fourth mean?" !"

"Aside from Mr. Kosaka and Mr. Ryoji, did anyone else become sacrifices?"

Gao Yuan also stepped forward and asked.

The old woman did not continue to speak, but walked out of the shrine with the two of them. From the outside, they walked up the mountain road to the top of the mountain where the shrine was located.And at the top of the mountain, on the edge of the cliff near the open space where the shrine god perched, the old woman stopped.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan and Kudo Shinichi also stopped and looked around.Soon, the two discovered that there was a stone standing on the edge of the cliff, and a few words were engraved on the stone: Machiko Konno.

There is also a year engraved on the side, 25 years ago.

And beside the stone with the engraved name, there is a bouquet of white flowers.

"Machiko Konno?"

Kudo Shinichi thought, "Is this the first sacrifice?"

And Gao Yuan walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down, saw the god's perch in the shrine under the cliff, and seemed to understand something.

"Okay. You can go back. People related to the Hecang family should leave this village as soon as possible!"

growled the old woman.

And Kudo Shinichi understood something from what he said just now, and asked: "Mr. Wakura, does he have something to do with the deceased?"

The old woman became silent about this.

"Please answer!"

Kudo Shinichi continued to ask.

The old woman looked at Kudo Shinichi's serious expression, and said, "How much do you know about the legend of this village?"

"I heard that a long time ago, a huge morah turned people into sacrifices; and that the ancient mirror in the shrine would resonate with the god's perch every 300 years to cause a total solar eclipse; and that lovers who kiss under the god's perch can last forever not separated."

Kudo Shinichi said.

And Gao Yuan, who was listening on the side, knew that this was the same as what was said in the report he saw in He Cang Yonghai's study.

"Are these the only legends?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"only these."

The old woman said, turned around and went down the mountain.

In this regard, Gao Yuan and Kudo Shinichi did not stay, and went down the mountain and returned to the villa.

"What do you think Mr. Wise?"

After entering the villa, Kudo Shinichi suddenly asked.

"The bouquet."

As Gao Yuan said, he walked up to the second floor of the villa, and Kudo Shinichi followed immediately.

When they came to the door of He Cang Yonghai's room on the second floor, they were about to knock on the door to enter, but found that the door was ajar.

Through the crack of the door, one can see that a middle-aged man in a white coat is standing in front of Wakura Yukai's bed, and Hekura Misa, the youngest daughter of the Wakura family, is also inside.

Therefore, the two of them did not rush in.

"This time I really need to trouble you to make a trip, Dr. Hasegawa."

It was Wakura Isamu's voice.

"this is nothing."

Another middle-aged man's voice sounded, "After all, we have known each other for 20 years. When I was still a graduate student at Dongdu Medical University, you were the patient I took over. After so many years, this small favor is nothing. "

"Then, Dr. Hasegawa, my father..."

Wakura Misa's voice sounded.

"It doesn't seem to be a serious problem at the moment, just take a good rest."

The doctor named Ryuichi Hasegawa said, then turned and went out, nodded at the door to Kudo and Takato who were standing outside, and then walked downstairs.

Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi followed into Wakura Yukai's room, but Gao Yuan thought for a while and caught up with Dr. Hasegawa.

"Mr. Wakura, are you alright?"

Kudo Shinichi came to He Cangyong's seabed and asked.

"Well, it's all right."

Wakura Yonghai, who was lying on the bed, saw Kudo Shinichi, and replied, "Do you need me for anything?"

"I remember Mr. He Cang said, you have been investigating all kinds of strange bird legends since you were a student, right? You have been to Fifteen Nights Village before, right?"

Kudo Shinichi asked straight to the point.

And Gao Yuan, who had caught up with Dr. Hasegawa Ryuichi, walked up to Dr. Hasegawa, and said, "Dr. Hasegawa, it may be presumptuous, but I want to ask you something."

"Is it about Mr. Hecang's condition? I'm sorry, it's related to the patient's privacy. I may not disclose it if you are not a relative."

Hasegawa Ryuichi stopped in his tracks and said this.

Gao Yuan shook his head.

"No. I heard that you were a graduate student at Dongdu Medical University 20 years ago, so I would like to ask, do you know if there was a graduate student at Dongdu Medical University whose name was 'RO U'? of?"

Hearing this, Hasegawa Ryuichi's expression changed slightly, and a name blurted out:

"Asami Taro (TA RO U)!"

As he spoke, he seemed to miss something, as if recalling something.But soon, Hasegawa Ryuichi came back to his senses and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little lost. If the name ends with the sound of 'RO U', that's what I can think of. He was a student of our class back then. The big celebrity here is a gifted pharmacist."

"Then, do you know where this Asami Taro is now?"

Gao Yuan asked.

Hasegawa Ryuichi shook his head: "I don't know about it. I haven't heard from him since graduation. If you want to find him, maybe you can go to my teacher, he may know."

"May I ask, who is your teacher?"

"Ooka Kiyosaku. But he retired the year before last, and now he should be returning to Kyoto to retire."

It seems that Gao Yuan's question aroused his memory. Facing Gao Yuan's question, Hasegawa Ryuichi answered without reservation.
