Chapter 914 Xiao Ai's Discovery

"However, the difficulty of simple modification of rocks is not of the same order as that of making large-scale megalithic ruins. Even if the island was able to modify those rocks before, the manpower and material resources required to build a megalithic ruin are not So simple beforehand..."

Hattori Heiji still insisted on his point of view, saying:
"By the way, apart from the traces of man-made carvings on the 'Giant Rock', what do you find about the so-called 'eyes higher than the giants, three giants combined into one' in the legend?"

Because I feel that for now, I only found that the three "Giant Rocks" may have been artificially excavated and transformed into three stone statues facing the east. This is not very helpful for the content mentioned in the legend, so Curious, Hattori Heiji asked about this instead.

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but shook his head, and responded:
"Not to mention how to 'combine' the three boulders located in different directions on this island, that is, 'the eyes are higher than the giant'. I haven't understood what it means for the time being..."

In the same way, Yueshui Nanatsuki also had a similar idea.

"So, as far as today is concerned, none of us has made any substantial progress..."

Hearing such a response, Toki Tsu Junzai couldn't help but conclude in this way.

"really."

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded and said:
"So it seems that maybe we have to continue to investigate tomorrow. Not only the underwater ruins, maybe we also have to take a boat to see if the back of the 'Giant Rock' to the east is as we expected. Generally speaking, on the side facing east, there are traces of human modification."

In this regard, listening to Gao Yuan's remarks, everyone seemed to think the same way, so finally, regarding the current situation, everyone decided to go to sea again tomorrow.

This time, even Takato and Koshimizu Nanatsuki are planning to go to sea together. On the one hand, they want to confirm the situation of the "Giant Rock" in the east, and on the other hand, they want to get close to the underwater ruins and do a good job of investigating them.

Immediately, just like this, after roughly sharing some of their achievements today and discussing tomorrow's itinerary, everyone started chatting casually in this restaurant——

"But speaking of it, we clearly agreed that everyone is going to conduct a deduction contest this time, but I never thought that we could sit here and discuss information together..."

At this time, Yueshui Nanatsuki put one hand on the table, looked around at the several detectives present, and finally fixed his eyes on Gao Yuan beside him, and couldn't help but say:
"I have to say, Mr. Zhizhi is really out of touch! If it were a novice like me who has only solved a hundred or so incidents, I wouldn't dare to take out the clues I found and discuss it with everyone. "

Just as he was talking, Shi Jin Junzai smiled lightly when he was sitting opposite her, and couldn't help saying:
"Is that so? With only a hundred or so cases, you can be regarded as a novice. Xiaosheng has dealt with about three hundred cases, and most of them were concentrated in the past year when he traveled to the four countries..."

"Ugh?"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but speak, and said with a slightly satisfied expression:

"Is that so? Then the incident I solved..."

Saying that, I saw Hattori Heiji snapping his fingers as if he was calculating, and then he seemed to be smiling wryly but more like showing off:

"Oh, there are probably more than a thousand pieces, and I can't count them at all..."

"Huh? A thousand pieces! Really?"

Immediately, hearing what Hattori Heiji said, Koshimizu Nanatsuki couldn't help but praised in surprise.

"It's amazing..."

Sighing slightly, Shi Jin Junzai couldn't help being surprised.

As for Takato, he was not surprised at all by Hattori Heiji's remarks, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't express anything.

After all, in Gao Yuan's impression, this statement was mentioned in the original work——

"Hey, Heiji..."

As for this, Toyama and Ye beside Hattori Heiji looked bewildered, and whispered doubts:
"More than 1000 cases? When did you solve so many cases?"

Thinking carefully about his past with Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha, his childhood sweetheart, couldn't even imagine how Hattori Heiji had been involved in so many cases.

In this regard, Hattori Heiji couldn't help smiling, and explained:
"Of course there are! If you include incidents like helping someone find a lost cat when I was a child, there must be so many..."

"Forehead……"

For a while, when Hattori Heiji said this, Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Tokitsu Junya, who were originally surprised, couldn't help but froze for a while. Among them, Koshimizu Nanatsuki showed a helpless wry smile on his face, and Junya Tokitsu couldn't help giving Hattori Heiji a blank look.

However, after the three of them respectively finished introducing the cases they had participated in, by coincidence, the eyes of the three of them turned to the last detective who didn't speak at the same time——

"Then, how many incidents has Mr. Wisely been involved in?"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu asked curiously.

In this regard, facing the gaze of the three people, Gao Yuan was too embarrassed not to answer, so after thinking about it for a while, he replied casually:

"Dozens."

"Oh, so little?"

Somewhat unexpectedly, Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked in surprise.

At the same time, Hattori Heiji and Tokitsu Junya looked at Gao Yuan with some curiosity.

"Because I haven't actually been a detective for long."

Gao Yuan explained.

"Hmph, that's right..."

In this regard, listening to this explanation, Shi Jin Junzai couldn't help saying:

"I just started working as a detective recently, so I really haven't heard of this name before."

"That's it..."

Listening to this answer, Koshimizu Nanatsuki continued to ask:
"But having said that, as Hattori-san said, although we only started to become detectives in high school, most of the time, we started to be interested in becoming detectives when we were young, so more or less, before becoming detectives All of them have more or less conducted some investigations, which can be regarded as some kind of opportunity for us to become detectives...

"So, since Mr. Zhizhi has a good reputation since he has only handled dozens of cases, then when he was not a detective before, he also handled some cases more or less?"

"That's not true. It can only be said that it was a coincidence that I became a detective... Like my high school days, I spent most of my time on my studies, and I didn't have any time or opportunity to encounter any incidents."

As he said that, Gao Yuan looked helplessly at the three young detectives around him who are currently or used to be high school detectives, and said with some emotion——

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if it weren't for the inexplicable identity problem after time travel and the various situations that followed, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to be forced to sit with these high-spirited high school detectives during this period of time. Let's talk about detectives.

Thinking back to the beginning, he was not even aware of being followed, and he suffered a lot for this.

Among them, the help of the settlement panel is also indispensable...

"Oh? So, Mr. Zhizhi was seriously preparing to go to school at that time?"

Hearing this answer, Nanatsuki Koshimizu couldn't help saying:

"That's different from us."

Said, Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Tokitsu Junya in front of him, and said:

"But if you have to say it, it's another extreme for students like Shijin to travel directly...Aren't you planning to go to school?"

"Education?"

Hearing Koshimizu Nanatsuki's question, Tokitsu Junya smiled slightly and said:
"Young students have already finished the courses needed to prepare for further studies. If you have to say, even if you are asked to take the exam now, you can still be admitted to a general public university. Therefore, Xiaosheng is not going to waste time in school, go out and walk more Wouldn’t it be better to take a trip to increase your knowledge and encounter many interesting events?”

"Hey? So, you must have encountered many interesting events during your journey, why don't you tell them and listen to them?"

Smiling and putting his hands on his chin, Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked with interest.

"Um……"

Seeing Koshimizu Nanatsuki's interest in this, Tokitsu Junzai smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he was thinking, and said with a little satisfaction:

"Actually, most of the incidents are very common. They are not difficult cases at all. It is basically not difficult for ordinary crimes. Those criminals have basically been arrested and prosecuted. I have to say What an interesting event..."

Touching his chin, Shi Jin Junya pondered for a moment, and then began to explain:

"It was probably when Xiaosheng first started traveling in the four countries, and he encountered an incident in a small village. At that time, the head of a family passed away unexpectedly, and at that time, the son of that family happened to leave in a hurry. Therefore, the police who were in charge of investigating the case had suspected that the death of the head of the family was related to the son who ran away in a hurry. But obviously, the police obviously thought too much, the head of the family did pass away accidentally..."

"What's so interesting about that?"

Hattori Heiji listened to Tokitsu Junya's remarks, and said very puzzled.

"The matter itself is nothing to be concerned about. But later, because the person died, the family members had to be notified to deal with the funeral, and the only son left in that family was the son who ran away in a hurry, so the police wanted to notify the other party at that time, but they didn't I know the whereabouts of the other party, and there is no contact information...

"So, based on the principle of helping people to the end, Xiaosheng found the other party for the police. And this search process is really a wonderful reasoning!"

In this way, it seems that after reminiscing about the situation at that time, Tokitsu Junya still feels that he still has more to say, so he said.

However, listening to this description, Hattori Heiji was not interested, and couldn't help saying:
"How interesting can it be to find someone? Isn't there any special criminal case?"

"I think so."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki also followed Hattori Heiji's words and said:

"If you're looking for someone, it's roughly those methods..."

Said, Koshimizu Nanatsuki's eyes wandered for a while, as if thinking of something, he asked Tokitsu Junya:

"By the way! Speaking of the bizarre incident that happened in Shikoku, the 'Lavender Villa Incident' seems to have happened about a year ago... Do you have any contact with this incident?"

Immediately, when Koshimizu Nanatsuki mentioned this incident to Shizu Junzai casually, Gao Yuan couldn't help but "thump" in his heart. He didn't know that Koshimizu Nanatsuki mentioned this incident with her friend Mizuguchi Kanna What is the purpose of the relevant events——

"'Lavender Villa'...I think I've heard of it too!"

In this regard, after hearing this, Hattori Heiji thought about it and couldn't help but say so.

"Indeed, when Xiaosheng was traveling in the four countries, he heard about this incident."

Shi Jin Junzai said a little casually:

"It is said that the eldest lady of the villa where she died thought she committed suicide at first, but rumors of homicide came out after a while... But in the end, she was still determined to have committed suicide. Back and forth, a total of two reversals, yes Pretty impressive."

"Yes."

Regarding Tokitsu Junya's remarks, Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded and affirmed:

"It's a strange case, isn't it? Although the news reported two turning points, the police didn't disclose the more detailed reasons. I'm really curious about how it turned around! How about it, Shijin-san, you were traveling On the way, didn’t you go to the scene to check?”

"After all, it is an event that has already been concluded, and there is no need to go."

Tokitsu Junzai waved his hand, his gaze was slightly slanted towards the direction where no one was around, and he replied like this.

"That said, it's really curious..."

Seeing the other party's attitude, Koshimizu Nanatsuki showed a thoughtful look, pondered for a while with a girl's innocent expression, and said:

"Suicide, homicide... How did such diametrically opposite conclusions be reversed? It is very interesting not to find out the truth! And I remember that when the first reversal was said to be a homicide, the police were very convincing. It is said that new conclusive evidence was discovered, but it didn’t take long for the conclusion of suicide to be completely finalized. If I was in Shikoku at the time and saw the news, I would somehow find a way to go to the scene to find out the situation. You say yes?"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki said so, first looked at Hattori Heiji next to Tokitsu Junya, and then turned to Takato next to him——

"It's the police who got the evidence wrong."

At this point, when Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement, Gao Yuan knew that there was nothing to hide, so he directly explained:

"The police took the evidence of another incident that happened in that villa half a year after the eldest lady died, as evidence of the death of the eldest lady, and thus misjudged the situation of the secret room at the time of the incident. Therefore, Only half a year after the incident, the police actually overturned the conclusion of suicide and began to analyze the circumstances of homicide."

Immediately, as soon as this remark came out, Hattori Heiji and Tokitsu Junya were shocked, while Koshimizu Nanatsuki turned her head to look at Gao Yuan at this time, and a smile appeared on her face— —

In this regard, Xiao Ai on the side noticed that Koshimizu Nanatsuki had an obviously different reaction after listening to Gao Yuan's speech. For a moment, she frowned slightly, as if thinking of something.

"Hey? Detective brother, how do you know so clearly?"

Hattori Heiji asked curiously.

"Because, after the police determined that there was a possibility of homicide, I went to the scene..."
