A year ago, Makoto Yada was a loyal fan of high school detective Kudo Shinichi.
At that time, Kudo Shinichi solved a murder case on a Boeing plane flying from Tokyo to New York.
This was indirectly equivalent to solving a cross-border case, which was reported in various news at home and abroad. From then on, he was out of control.
Cases came to Kudo Shinichi like a storm, and Kudo Shinichi caught them all. With his excellent reasoning and handsome and confident image, he was quite popular among high school students in Tokyo.
And Makoto Yada is a little fan of Kudo Shinichi, and he admires him endlessly.
About two months after Kudo Shinichi's debut, a sudden change occurred in Yada Makoto's hometown.
His parents died tragically at home, and only the younger son, Makoto Yada's younger brother, survived because he spent the night at a relative's house.
After an on-site investigation, the police in the village determined that the murderer was a gang of robbers who broke into the house, and nothing more happened after that.
Although the so-called village chief and his wife are Yada Makoto's adoptive parents, after years of getting along with each other, he has come to regard them as his biological parents.
Seeing that the police in the village were not good at handling cases and could not find the whereabouts of the robbers, he found his idol Kudo Shinichi.
Kudo Shinichi, who was in the limelight at that time, readily agreed to help. However, after visiting Higashi Ousui Village for a day and investigating, he came to a conclusion that was completely contrary to the police.
The village chief forced his wife to die for love with him. The reason turned out to be that the village chief discovered that he was suffering from cancer and felt that there was no hope of survival, so he had the idea of seeking death together.
Yada Makoto couldn't accept this reasoning in his heart at the time, but he didn't say anything.
It was not until later that he learned from the nurse responsible for taking care of the village chief that his cancer was actually benign, and that the village chief himself was confident of defeating the disease.
This completely ruined Kudo Shinichi's image in Makoto Yada's heart. He first turned from a fan to a fan, and then from a fan to a black fan.
In Yada Makoto's mind, Kudo Shinichi purposely said that "astonishing" reasoning in order to establish a reputation for himself.
As a result, Yada Makoto had evil thoughts.
Now Kudo Shinichi has countless halos shining on him, supported by the police, praised by the media, admired by passers-by, and even called "the savior of the Japanese police".
No one would believe the words of Makoto Yada, a nobody.
Therefore, he wanted to transform into "Kudo Shinichi", use the image of "Kudo Shinichi" to cause trouble, and completely discredit this former idol.
After the death of the village chief and his wife, as the eldest son, he just inherited a legacy, which was enough to support him in completing this plan.
Now, it is time for this plan to be implemented.
Since he had been a fan of Kudo Shinichi before, and Kudo Shinichi had disclosed his address and email address in order to take on more cases, he sent letters to Kudo Shinichi by letter and email respectively.
The content of the letter was to point out that Kudo Shinichi's reasoning was wrong and that he should come to the cabin in Higashi Okuho Village to discuss it in detail.
If Kudo Shinichi saw the letter, he would definitely be worried about the reputation he had worked so hard to lose and come to the appointment.
When the time comes, you can lock him in the wooden house, and then let yourself with this face go out and admit the error of your reasoning, thus completely making the "savior of the Japanese police" fall from the altar.
It's just that this plan has just begun to be implemented, and it seems to have encountered some difficulties.
That is, I sent the email for two days, and Kudo Shinichi did not reply to me.
Moreover, rumors have spread all over the Internet recently that Kudo Shinichi may have offended a certain powerful person and his body has been buried in Tokyo Bay.
Of course, Yada Makoto does not believe this kind of boring speculation that is extended from the plot of the movie to reality.
Since you can't find it by contacting Kudo Shinichi directly, then contact Kudo Shinichi's "insiders".
So, when he went to town today, he mailed a letter to the high school detective in Kansai and asked him to deliver a letter to Kudo Shinichi.
After Kudo Shinichi's fans turned negative, he has regarded all the so-called high school detectives including "Hattori Heiji", "Hakuba Detective" and others as people seeking fame and reputation.
He just wants to send emails to all the high school detectives. If he can't find any one, he will continue to send them until he finds Kudo Shinichi...
Thinking of this, Yada Makoto stood up angrily and looked at Kudo Shinichi's newspaper clippings on the wall again.
The black and white clipping shows a close-up of Kudo Shinichi, with a confident smile on his handsome face.
But the corresponding person, Yada Makoto, although he had the same face, grinned and stared at Kudo Shinichi's photo with hatred.
Suddenly, he angrily picked up the dagger on the table and stabbed the newspaper clipping hard.
One knife, one knife...
Each knife penetrated the back of the paper and pierced the wall of the wooden house, making a dull sound of "bang bang".
Just when he was feeling sore and swollen from venting his anger, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the cabin.
Dude, dunk, dunk.
The rhythmic knocking on the door made Yada Makoto tremble, and his eyes stared in the direction of the door in horror.
How could anyone come here?
Could it be that the sound you made just now was heard?
But because of the Death God, the nearby villagers dare not come near this place!
Yada Makoto, who could not show his current appearance to others, could only keep his composure and stand motionless on the spot, waiting for the people outside to find it boring and leave.
However, instead of leaving, the figures outside continued to knock on the door even harder.
Dude, dunk, dunk.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk...
The rhythm of the knocking on the door became faster and faster, as if he would not leave until the door was missed.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Yada Makoto could only hold his throat, slightly change his voice, and asked: "Who is it?"
"Kudo Shinichi."
The figure at the door shook slightly as he answered.
But when Makoto Yada in the wooden house heard this reply, he immediately lost his composure.
He's really here!
Yada Makoto never expected that not only did the email he sent work, but he also called Kudo Shinichi in advance.
Although the time agreed in the email has not yet arrived, Makoto Yada guessed that Kudo Shinichi was worried that his wrong reasoning would be exposed, so he wanted to come over in advance to settle the matter.
Humph, how can it be so easy for you to settle it?
You must repay the humiliation my father has suffered this year!
Yada Makoto snorted contemptuously in his heart, and then picked up the dagger he had just put down on the table, preparing to surprise his enemy as soon as he opened the door.
"coming……"
Yada Makoto grunted, pulled out the latch of the wooden door with his left hand, and hid the dagger behind his back, ready to go.
squeak--
The wooden door was slowly pushed open.
But when the wooden door opened, Yada Makoto was instantly confused.
There was not one person standing at the door, but five people, led by a man in a brown trench coat.
"You, who are you?"
Yada Makoto's eyes were full of shock, and the dagger hidden in his back almost slipped from his hand.
The man in the trench coat who headed the group said sternly: "Aren't you looking for Kudo Shinichi recently?"
"It just so happens that we are also looking for 'Kudo Shinichi', so here we are..."
…
When the wooden door opened, everyone except Qin Zhibo looked shocked.
Because the young man who pushed open the wooden door turned out to be "Kudo Shinichi"!
In other words, he is a person who looks exactly like "Kudo Shinichi".
Mao Lilan, who was standing behind, stared at this very familiar face, but could not say anything at the moment, and his mind went blank.
When Yada Makoto saw a bunch of strangers in front of him, his brain quickly reacted and guessed that these people were probably sent by Kudo Shinichi to deal with him.
Especially the mixed-race man at the head, who looks like a cold-blooded foreign killer at first glance!
This bastard is actually colluding with the underworld!
No! Fight with them!
Yada Makoto suddenly felt his heart change, and the dagger in his right hand suddenly came out, and he stabbed the mixed-race man in front of him.
While stabbing, he shouted.
"I'll fight with you!"
Seeing the menacing cold light, Qin Zhibo was not panicked.
At first glance, this "Kudo Shinichi" didn't stab people often, but he actually held a dagger in both hands. In the eyes of Qin Zhibo, who was personally trained by Ishikawa Goemon, it was simply slow motion.
Qin Zhibo suddenly turned sideways as the dagger approached his body. While avoiding the sharp edge of the dagger, he grabbed "Kudo Shinichi's" neck collar with one hand and struck it with an uppercut in the face.
The whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, and he easily knocked this little piece of meat who looked like "Kudo Shinichi" to the ground.
Sato and Takagi immediately rushed forward, pressed down "Kudo Shinichi's" hands, and forced him to wear a silver bracelet.
"Yada Makoto! You are under arrest!"
…
Twenty minutes later, Dong Aosui Village, the village hall.
Makoto Yada was temporarily escorted to the village office as a suspect, waiting for Tokyo police to come for support.
Originally, Qin Zhibo just wanted to catch "Little Heizi" this time, and Sato and Takagi just stopped by to see if Makoto Yada was an insider in the shooting case.
However, after opening the door, Makoto Yada suddenly launched a mad attack on Qin Zhibo, which immediately rose to the level of a case.
Coupled with the various newspaper clippings of Kudo Shinichi found in the cabin and the extremely damaged photos of Kudo Shinichi, the nature becomes even worse.
Obviously, this is not just a joke, he deserves to be taken back for rigorous interrogation.
However, before the police reinforcements from Tokyo arrived, the villagers of Higashiokusui Village who came after hearing the news immediately surrounded the village office.
A large number of villagers gathered in front of the service counter, pointing at "Kudo Shinichi" who was handcuffed behind the counter, and clapped their hands and cheered.
"Okay! Good catch! This kid should have been caught a long time ago!"
"He smeared our village chief and was only caught now. It really gave him an advantage!"
"Pooh!"
Seeing that Kudo Shinichi was so "well-known" in this village, Qin Zhibo and his party were a little embarrassed.
Especially Mao Lilan, who didn't know the whole story, looked very aggrieved.
Conan's eyes were relatively calm. Although he felt a little aggrieved, he knew that he had done nothing wrong.
But looking at the attitude of the villagers, Yada Makoto, who was already handcuffed, became arrogant and screamed to the sky.
"Hahaha!"
"This is Kudo Shinichi's 'good reputation'! Everyone knows that Kudo Shinichi's reasoning is wrong!"
"Kudo Shinichi himself didn't dare to come out and face me, so he sent you here to catch me!"
"He is a coward!"
Although Sato and Takagi have tried their best to explain to the people around them that this "Kudo Shinichi" is actually Yata Makoto, they still have not been understood by the villagers.
On the contrary, in their eyes, Yada Makoto, who dared to take revenge on his enemies by plastic surgery, became a real hero.
"Well done! Makoto!"
"The village chief really didn't support you in vain!"
Faced with the attitude of Yada Makoto and the villagers, Conan, who was speechless, gradually lowered his head.
He didn't understand why he was so reviled when he was obviously trying to take care of everyone's emotions.
And why does Yada Makoto, who should understand his painstaking efforts, treat him like this now?
Just when the crowd's anger refused to subside, a figure suddenly stood in front.
"Everyone, since everyone is confused about the case back then, it's better to do this..."
"Next, I, the famous detective Qin Zhibo, and the famous detective Kogoro Mori, will join forces with the police from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters and your local police to restart the investigation of the case a year ago."
Upon hearing this suggestion, everyone around them looked shocked.
These villagers united to express their dissatisfaction, and the ultimate goal was to capture the real murderer of the village chief and his wife.
And it would be great to be able to restart the investigation now.
However, after Kudo Shinichi's incident, the credibility of the detective police in this village has dropped to freezing point.
"How can we trust you? You are all paid to do things anyway!"
"Yes! Then it won't be whatever you say, right?"
Villagers protested one after another.
But Qin Zhibo immediately suppressed the objections with a higher decibel voice.
"So! This time we will bring five village representatives, representatives elected by you, to participate in the investigation."
"As for the truth of the case, it will be decided by village representatives whether to make it public..."
"Of course, in addition to the village representatives, there must also be Mr. Makoto Yada."
This new proposal seems fair and reasonable, and more humane than before.
When Kudo Shinichi was conducting his reasoning a year ago, no one was around the whole process, and the villagers didn't know what was going on. Anyway, they just muddleheadedly announced that the village chief was the murderer.
And this time, at least they will have five representatives who can supervise whether the investigation process is fair and reasonable.
After a short discussion with the villagers, they quickly agreed.
…
A quarter of an hour later, everyone gathered at the village chief's villa.
This is the place where the case took place a year ago. Since Makoto Yada wants to keep it to reverse the case so that he can track down the real murderer, it has not been touched so far.
This actually preserves the original venue for the reasoning of the case.
In addition to Qin Zhibo and others, Dongaosuicun also sent five village representatives as agreed upon.
The current village chief, village doctor, village office manager and two middle-aged villagers.
These five people are currently the most respected people in Dongao Sui Village, and what they say is often more credible than outsiders.
The decisions they make are largely equivalent to the decisions of the entire village.
Qin Zhibo looked at these people and nodded with satisfaction.
"It looks like everyone is here."
"Let us uncover the truth that has been sealed for a year..."
