Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 622 The past

Upon hearing this, Yuri and Conan both looked at Yamato Kansuke.

The two men's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, making Yamato Kansuke somewhat apprehensive.

"Officer Yamato doesn't look too well. He must have stayed up all night last night."

"The rain won't stop us from going to investigate. Officer Uehara changed the time to this morning to cooperate with Officer Yamato, right?"

Two questions silenced Uehara Yui, and she knew that saying more at this point would be pointless, even though she still wanted to explain.

Silence fell over the car, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"What exactly happened?" Yuri's voice turned colder, and he even began to suspect that these three policemen were also involved in the gold heist.

"Actually, it's Yamato."

"Never mind." Yamato Kansuke shook his head, interrupting Uehara Yui, and then took a deep breath. "I'll handle this."

"Actually, I noticed these two families many years ago."

"What's the reason?" Conan pressed.

The more secret something is, the more interested Conan becomes, especially now that the gold heist is likely related to these two families, which makes him even more intrigued.

"That was a sacrificial ceremony six years ago. Senior Jia Pei Xuanren suddenly disappeared during the ceremony. When he was found, he was at the bottom of a cliff. He was already dead at that time."

The car slowed down considerably after entering the mountainous area, and Yamato Kansuke began to reminisce.

"I joined the police force ten years ago, and Senior Kapei Genjin was my mentor at that time."

After explaining the man's identity, Yamato Kansuke seemed to have returned to his youthful days, rambling on and on, but no one in the car interrupted him.

Although it is somewhat tedious, everyone knows that these preambles are meant to explain his motives.

"The death of Senior Jia Pei six years ago was too suspicious. Everyone said that he made a mistake in the archery event of the sacrifice, which made him unable to think straight. He either jumped off a cliff or lost his mind and fell off a cliff. In short, in other people's eyes, his death was just an accident."

"But I don't believe it."

Sadness showed in Yamato Kansuke's eyes. His tough image seemed so fragile that it could crumble at the slightest touch.

No one spoke.

“I know Senior Jia Pei’s personality very well. He is cheerful and always has a smile on his face. He has helped and enlightened many people. Even if he makes a mistake in archery, he would not commit suicide because of it. Moreover, he did not die after falling off the cliff. He was covered by a lot of leaves, which is why the searchers could not find him. He starved to death!”

The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up, revealing bulging veins on his dark, muscular arms. The blind scar twitched and moved like a living centipede crawling.

"Therefore, his death must have been caused by someone else!"

"You must have some suspicions that his death is related to the Ryūo and Torada families, right?"

Judging from Yamato Kansuke's attitude, this case will definitely be dropped.

What are the reasons for his doubts? Why, with his abilities, has he still not solved the problem after six years? Xia Chuan was very curious.

"Before the ritual began, I had a chat with Senior Kabu, and he talked to me about his investigation into the Ryūo and Torada families."

"But when I wanted to ask him, he refused to tell me the reason, saying that he would tell me when he got the decisive evidence."

“He died a few days later, which is why I became suspicious of both families.”

"So you don't have any clues?" Conan's expression darkened slightly. Judging from the few words he heard, the death of Kaibu Genjin was closely related to these two families, but there was no evidence whatsoever. Relying solely on Yamato Kansuke's one-sided statement was not enough to serve as evidence.

"In the past six years, haven't you found any clues? For example, what exactly is Jia Peixuan investigating, or do you have his police handbook?"

Yamato Kansuke was startled; Conan had the same thought he had back then.

However, this is also the most regrettable aspect.

He shook his head slightly, scratching his hair in frustration: "No, the police handbook is lost, but that only proves that his death was suspicious, because he fell off a cliff on the day of the ritual. He was wearing a white Taoist robe at the time, and he would never have been carrying a police handbook. But when I was sorting through his belongings at his house, I didn't find the police handbook."

"It's as if it was deliberately hidden away."

In addition, he had investigated the Torada and Ryūo families to some extent over the years and did discover some things.

The two families had a terrible relationship between the older generations, but the four young people in the younger generation got along very well and couldn't wait to be together all the time.

Although he couldn't observe the four people every day, he had learned some things from other people.

These people seem to be looking for something.

Although it is very secretive, it has never stopped over the years, and has even become more and more intense and fanatical.

However, they kept their operations very secret, and would immediately stop whenever something seemed amiss.

In addition, they mostly roam deep in the mountains and forests, making them difficult to track in many ways. This is why, even after so many years, their purpose has not been discovered.

“If you try to deceive people, you will eventually be exposed. Just wait patiently.” Only then did Morofushi Takaaki speak up: “Wait for the enemy to tire themselves out: Try to put the enemy in a difficult situation while you wait for the opportunity in a comfortable state. When the enemy is exhausted and their morale is low, then strike and win.”

"After waiting for six years, haven't they finally shown their true colors?"

"Do you think their real target is actually the Twilight Villa?"

The trio, who were responsible for dealing damage, were dismissive of the top players' claims.

Over the years, if it weren't for Zhu Fu Gaoming's constant obstruction, he might have already resorted to forceful measures.

Of course, if he did that, his police career would probably be over, and the answer is still unknown.

This is the best possible outcome, and it confirms Morofushi Takamitsu's words: the time to reap the rewards of waiting in comfort has indeed come.

After the chat ended, the car stopped in front of a quaint and grand Japanese-style house, with the two large characters "Tiger Field" prominently displayed at the entrance.

The Torada family truly lives up to its reputation as a prominent family in Nagano Prefecture; they put a lot of effort into their public image.

The Ryūo family and the Torada family both live in this village.

The Torata family lives at one end of the village, and the Ryuo family lives at the other. For the past few hundred years, the villagers living here have seemed to be their retainers, but due to the changes of the times, they no longer simply respect them as they once did.

Their arrival was quite sudden. The Filipino maid who came to greet them seemed to know Yamato Kansuke. Her expression changed slightly when she opened the door and saw Yamato Kansuke.

Of course, it could also be because of his signature forked scar.

After all, that scar, coupled with that stern and even somewhat fierce face, does easily remind people of gangsters or yakuza members.
