Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

Longwei Shengdai said, "This all started a long, long time ago..."

She got stuck as soon as she started.

Xiaolan asked, "And then?"

Ryuu Morita thought about it carefully again and said, "I don't remember either, but I've been taught that since I was little."

Everyone was stunned.

Ryuuji said, "Actually, the younger generation of both families have a good relationship, such as Koji, Akei, Hanji, and Yoshiro."

Upon hearing the name Torada Shigeji, Toyama Kazuha turned and glanced into the warehouse.

Where is Mr. Fanci?

Chapter 360 Suspicious Points

"Oh no!" Kogoro Mouri's expression changed.

Their attention was drawn to the two families outside the warehouse, and they didn't notice that Torada Shigeji was missing.

"You guys call him right away!"

Kogoro Mori said to Naonobu Torada and his wife.

Naonobu Torada quickly took out his phone and called Shigeji Torada. A few seconds later, he shook his head and said, "It's off."

Kitagawa Taki said, "Brother Mori, I think we should hurry up and find him! He shouldn't have gone far."

Kogoro Mori nodded: "Mr. Torada, go back to the Torada residence and check! If it's not there, then go out and look again! Mr. Ryuo, you go in that direction, and the rest of us will go in this direction!"

Despite their arguments, the two from Longwei's family would still help if someone needed assistance.

……

Everyone split up to search for the person.

Once out of their sight, Kitagawa Taki immediately quickened his pace.

He quickly found Torada Shigeji, who was exhausted and covered in sweat, at the bottom of the cliff.

Upon seeing Kitagawa Taki, Torada Shigeji forced a calm demeanor and asked, "Mr. Kitagawa, what are you doing here?"

Kitagawa Taki remained silent and walked up to Torada Shigeji.

"Mr. Torada, may I borrow a light?"

Torada Shigeji was a little confused, but he still took out his lighter.

But what Kitagawa Taki pulled out wasn't cigarettes, but a notebook.

Torada Shigeji's eyes widened, overwhelmed by shock, fear, and confusion.

Kitagawa Taki knocked him down with a karate chop, then put on gloves, first found the note on Torada Shigeji's body, and then took out a gasoline can that he had taken from the warehouse in advance from his spatial storage.

After having Torada Shigeji leave his fingerprints on it, they opened the oil drum and poured some of it on him.

Afterwards, Kitagawa Taki put Torada Shigeji's lighter back into his hand, and after setting up the scene, he used another lighter to set his clothes on fire.

……

A dozen minutes later.

Kogoro Mouri and the others followed the screams and found themselves at the bottom of the cliff.

"This, this is..."

Kogoro Mouri stood frozen in place, while Shigeji Torada's body was still burning.

Kitagawa Taki said calmly, "Invasion is like fire."

He was holding Torada Shigeji's notebook in his hand.

"Brother Mori, take a look at this."

"Wait a moment!"

Yamato Kansuke, who had rushed over upon receiving the news, took the notebook.

After a moment, Yamato Kansuke spoke up: "This contains records of the treasure hunt and the incident of accidentally killing someone six years ago."

"Six years ago?" Hattori Heiji asked as he came down from the mountain. "Could it be Kai Genjin?"

Yamato Kansuke said, "That's right, it's Mr. Kai Genjin. It records that Torada Shigeji, Ryūo Koji, Torada Yoshirō, and Ryūo Ayaka devised a plan to injure Mr. Kai in order to make Ryūo Kei win the match."

While he was practicing, they used fireworks to scare Mr. Kai's horse, causing him to fall off. The horse was so frightened that it ran wildly and eventually plunged off the cliff.

The group had a heated argument about whether or not to call the police, but ultimately decided to say nothing.

Kogoro Mouri asked, "Brother Kitagawa, where did you find this?"

Kitagawa Taki pointed to the distance: "On those gasoline drums over there."

Kogoro Mouri nodded and analyzed, "Judging from the scene, Mr. Hanji must have committed suicide. This should be the cliff from six years ago, right?"

He continued, "He deliberately chose this place to commit suicide, and left behind a notebook to reveal the truth."

Yamato Kansuke said, "From this perspective, he killed the three people who committed a crime six years ago."

But he still had doubts. If Torada Shigeji had any intention of repenting, why wait six years?

Heiji Hattori and Conan share the same idea.

……

The two arrived together at the scene of Ayaka Ryūo's death.

The scene has been cordoned off by the police.

Hattori Heiji pondered, "There are only the footprints and hoofprints of that Officer Yamato under the tree, and there are no signs of climbing on the trunk. How did the murderer manage to hang the person up there?"

Conan stared at the marks on the ground without saying a word.

"Horseshoe prints..."

Suddenly, Conan was struck dumb, "I know!"

He looked up at Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji's lips curled up. "I thought of that too!"

Conan frowned and said, "In that case, Torata Yui and Ryūo Kei, who were riding horses on either side of the tree at the time, are very suspicious."

According to his reasoning, the murderer must have hung the person up there while riding a horse, and the height of the tree branch was also just right.

The hoofprints were covered by the hoofprints of the two riders who came up behind!

Hattori Heiji said, "That former policewoman, Mrs. Torada, is particularly suspicious."

Conan nodded: "That's right, unless she really didn't see the hoofprints on the ground."

But in their view, this possibility was very small.

Just then, a voice rang out: "Hey, what are you two doing here?"

The two recognized him as a policeman who was with Yamato Kansuke.

Hattori Heiji asked, "What's wrong, officer? Why do you seem so flustered?"

The officer explained, "Because it looked like it was going to rain, Officer Yamato asked me to secure the scene."

"Officer, was Mrs. Torada Yui a police officer before?" Conan asked obediently.

"How do you know? Her real name is Uehara Yui. She used to be Officer Yamato's subordinate, but fate played a cruel trick on her, and now she has become the victim's wife."

The police officer spoke with some emotion about Uehara Yui.

The officer continued, "Ms. Uehara originally said that she was determined to investigate the truth behind Mr. Kai's death and would work together with Officer Yamato, but she suddenly quit her job and went to get married."

I heard that they both chose to become police officers because they admired Mr. Kai, who was a policeman.

Upon hearing this, Conan and Heiji Hattori exchanged a glance, and they understood Uehara Yui's motive.

The officer finally realized he had spoken out of turn and said seriously, "Anyway, you two get out of here right now!"

……

The Torada family.

The two found the Torada couple.

"You're saying that Mrs. Yui has been with both of you the whole time?"

Hattori Heiji's expression changed upon hearing Torada Naonobu's words.

If that's the case, then Uehara Yui had an alibi when Torada Shigeji was burned to death!

Conan pressed further, "She never left your sight?"

Torada Tatsuei shook his head: "When we went home to look for Hanji, we searched separately, but Yui and I were together."

Conan's gaze darkened. Could it be that Torada Shigeji really committed suicide?

Torada Naonobu retorted, "Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, sorry to bother you."

Heiji Hattori pulled Conan away.

Walking in the courtyard, Hattori Heiji stroked his chin. "Kudo, what do you think?"

Chapter 361 Hattori Heiji's Jaw-Dropping Strike

"I can't explain it clearly." Conan shook his head. "According to Uncle Mori, Shigeji Torada was frantically searching for information about the treasure hunt in the warehouse, but then suddenly took advantage of their inattention and left the warehouse alone."

Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes: "You mean the information he's looking for is that notebook? But how could something so important suddenly disappear?"

Conan was startled: "You mean someone lured him to the cliff using a notebook?"

He thought of a possibility, and no one else would suspect that person except him!

Conan slowly said, "Kitagawa Taki..."

"Kitagawa? What happened to Kitagawa?" Hattori Heiji asked instinctively.
