Chapter 74
Walking out of the room, Kudo Shinichi saw Gao Yuan who was sitting in the living room meditating, and couldn't help asking: "What is Mr. Zhizhi thinking?"

"No, nothing."

Hearing Kudo Shinichi's words, Gao Yuan came back from his thoughts, "What about you? Did Chairman Wakura say anything?"

Kudo Shinichi shook his head.

"President He Cang only said that he will attend the ceremony on time."

Regarding this, Gao Yuan didn't say much, but asked, "Do you want to tell this matter?"

"of course."

As Kudo Shinichi said, he walked out of the villa.

Soon, after hearing that Hecang Yonghai was going to participate in the festival, many villagers came to the villa of Hecang's family. It was so noisy that even the local policeman Yicheng was alarmed and came to maintain order.

The villagers clamored for He Cang Yonghai to come out, and warned him not to participate in the village festival and let him leave the village as soon as possible.

After hearing the noise at the door, He Cang Yonghai, who had basically recovered, came down from upstairs to check the situation.

Facing the villagers' accusations, He Cang Yonghai didn't care.

"Is there a law that says you can't go?"

With that said, he turned around and went upstairs.

This remark obviously angered several villagers, and an old man with a bad temper immediately stepped forward and said angrily: "What! You, an outsider, are so arrogant!"

"Outsider?"

He Cang Yonghai stopped, and seemed to be asking, "Now I am the biggest landlord in the village."

"A person like you will become a sacrifice to Big Bird!"

The old man wanted to reprimand loudly, but Tu Shi Yicheng stopped him.

"No matter who comes to advise, I will go to the festival."

"Understood, I will protect you that day!"

Tu Shi Yicheng stopped the villagers while talking to He Cang Yonghai, and then He Cang Yonghai responded "I'm sorry for you", and went upstairs without looking back.

The villagers quickly left the villa under Tu Shi Yicheng's persuasion.

Gao Yuan was on the side, watching the villagers' farce the whole time, then walked to Kudo Shinichi who had just come back from the outside, and whispered: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Well. The murder incident is not over, and the murderer's ultimate goal has not been achieved."

Kudo Shinichi said.

"But it's clear that the murderer was that man, isn't it?"

Gao Yuan said.

"True. But no proof."

Kudo Shinichi said, "Moreover, this is also Mr. Wakura's expectation."

Speaking, Kudo Shinichi recalled the conversation with Wakura Yongkai in the room just now, and Mr. Wakura's request.

"It's a festival every 300 years."

Gao Yuan said with emotion, and then took out a remote control-like thing from his pocket, with only one button on it, and handed it to Kudo Shinichi.

"what is this?"

Kudo Shinichi took this thing and asked curiously.

"Signal jammer."

Gao Yuan said, "I don't know what the murderer's control mechanism is, but if it's a wireless remote control, using this can interfere with the remote control signal."

This was made by Gao Yuan using the things he bought at the electrical appliance store before coming to Fifteen Nights Village.

"Since you want the murderer to show his feet, it should be safer to have this thing."

Gao Yuan said.

"Mr. Wise, you are really well prepared."

Kudo Shinichi exclaimed, "But why did you prepare this in advance?"

"Nothing, just did it."

Gao Yuan said.

As for the fact that he might have helped the murderer complete the flaws in the technique, he probably guessed the murderer's technique before coming to the village, so he went to the electrical appliance store to buy the materials in advance.This kind of thing can't be said!

Gao Yuan thought so, and then changed the subject.

"About the izakaya chain under the Wakura Group, do you know who is in charge of the Wakura Family now?"

Seeing Chairman He Cang Yonghai's obsession with the legend of the big bird, he probably has no time to manage these things.

"I seem to have heard from Ms. Qinmei and the others that it is now Mr. Liang Er's chain store in Ying's house."

Kudo Shinichi recalled, "Why is Mr. Akechi asking this?"

"It's nothing important, it's just that I accepted a commission before, and it has something to do with a chain of izakaya restaurants under the Wakang Group, so I asked by the way."

Gao Yuan didn't hide it either, but he couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart: it happened to be He Cang Liang Er.

On the day of the festival, the villagers gathered at the Mozu Sho Shrine, preparing to hold the festival once every 300 years.

In addition to the original villagers, those who participated in the festival included the Wakura family, as well as Takato, Kudo Shinichi and others who were outsiders. Although the suspension bridge leading to the outside world had been repaired, everyone still chose to stay until today to participate in the festival.

As soon as noon arrived, the high-pitched flute sound suddenly sounded in the shrine.

On the open-air square in the center of the shrine, a group of villagers poured out from all around. They wore cloaks woven with black feathers and wore bird masks on their faces. They danced under the prayers of the priest and old woman.

Soon, it seemed that the ceremony was over, and under the leadership of the old woman, everyone went to the cave deep in the shrine.

Inside is an extremely empty space, with various symbols engraved on the surrounding stone walls, and there are also God's Roost and God's Tree in the center, and the only light source here comes from a hole in the stone wall, from which sunlight shines in from outside.

In front of the god's perch here, the priest and old woman said to He Cang Yonghai: "Village chief, it's your turn."

Because of his contribution to the investment and facility construction of the village, He Cang Yonghai is considered the head of Fifteen Nights Village.

In this regard, Hecang Yonghai nodded, walked to the god's perch, and stepped on the round stone.

Then, the priest old woman took out the unbroken ancient mirror that was originally placed in Hecang Yonghai's study, and put it in a circular depression on the god's perch.

"Then, on behalf of the villagers, please hug the tree where the god resides, express your wish, and pray for the arrival of the big bird god!"

So, He Cang Yonghai hugged his hands on the tree of God with a determined face.

Seeing this, the villagers knelt down one after another, chanting ancient incantations under the leadership of the priest and old woman.

Suddenly, as the spell progressed, the entire cave began to become dark, and the light shining from the hollow in the stone wall gradually dimmed until the entire cave became completely dark.

Seeing this, it seemed that a total solar eclipse had already occurred outside, and everyone was silent, and no one made a sound.

But soon, in such a quiet environment, if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of "click, click".

After a while, the sun shone through the void again, but here, nothing seemed to happen.

Tu Shi Yicheng stood where he was, his right hand in his pocket was still desperately pressing the switch on the remote control.

"Police Officer Earth Division."

Gao Yuan did not know when he walked behind Tu Shi Yicheng, and said with a smile, "Even if you press the button of the remote control again, the big bird god will not come!"
