Chapter 1239 Detective Version Legend and Investigator Version Legend
explain
Hearing the commotion coming from the corridor, Mouri Kogoro rushed out immediately and then closed the sliding door behind him.
In the corridor, Inufukaoko and Inufuchen were also having a conversation.
"What happened?" Mouri Kogoro stepped forward and asked with a serious face.
Kaozi's expression seemed a little scared and he replied: "My mother seemed to have woken up just now and climbed out of the quilt..."
"Ms. Suo Chen, are you awake?"
"Yeah, but now I've fainted again..."
Kaozi turned to Zenya again and said: "Mr. Zenya, please go and call the others. I feel like my mother is about to explain that matter..."
As soon as he heard "that thing", Zen's eyes were shocked and he quickly turned around and walked towards the other side of the corridor.
That matter may naturally be the division of the inheritance that everyone in the Inubushi family is currently concerned about.
When Suo Chen was still sober, he once said that he would divide his inheritance into eight equal parts for each of his adopted children.
But now that her four adopted children have passed away before her, the issue of inheritance division will definitely have to be reconsidered.
Mouri Kogoro followed Inufukako and rushed to Saomi's bedroom first.
In the guest room, Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuye, who were separated by the sliding door, heard the conversation outside and learned that Ms. Suo Chen, who had been offline, might have woken up.
Although they only came here temporarily, out of politeness, they should still go and visit.
Thinking of this, the two girls climbed to the beds of Hattori Heiji and Conan respectively, trying to wake them up.
But after calling several times in succession, there was no answer from the bottom of my back.
"Hey, Heiji?"
Toyama Kazuha opened the back, only to see Hattori Heiji's "victory" travel bag underneath the back.
"Eh? Heiji isn't here?"
"Conan isn't here either..."
Mao Lilan also opened the quilt, and what was placed on the bulging back was not a duffel bag, but two pillows stacked on top of each other.
There was only one pillow for each person in the guest room, and Conan obviously used Hattori Heiji's pillow to pretend that he was still there.
"What's going on? Why aren't they both here?"
In Ms. Saomi's room, Mouri Kogoro and Inufukako arrived first.
I saw Ms. Suo Chen lying on her somewhat wrinkled back, with more than a dozen white beads scattered on the tatami around her.
"Hello!"
"This is what happened!"
Mouri Kogoro shouted loudly.
Inufukako quickly explained, "I just went to the corridor to talk on the phone with the people at the funeral, and I heard strange noises in the room. When I came back, I saw my mother lying next to the cabinet..."
"These beads are the rosary beads on the bracelet that my mother often wore..."
Under Kaoko's explanation, Mouri Kogoro picked up the beads on the ground and looked at them. There was a hole in the middle, and it turned out to be rosary beads.
The ropes usually used to string rosary bracelets are very strong. Suo Chen deliberately untied the rope and let the rosary beads scatter on the ground. It is indeed suspicious.
It should be done on purpose...
“Are there any other rosaries?”
"have……"
Inufukako opened his back and saw that Suo Chen's right hand was holding the remaining rosary bracelet.
There are eight beads left on the bracelet, one of which is black, and the other seven are engraved with words: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, loyalty, trust, filial piety, and brotherhood.
"This is..." Mouri Kogoro murmured.
At this moment, Maori Ran and Toyama Kazuha, who had changed their clothes, ran in from the door and told Maori Kogoro that Hattori Heiji and Conan were missing.
"What?"
Mouri Kogoro frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
So he rarely mobilized his IQ and started reasoning seriously.
"I see, I understand everything..."
"The truth of everything is everyone's name!"
"Name?" Others in the room asked in confusion.
Mouri Kogoro had a serious face and reasoned sternly.
"Actually, we ignored the names of all the adopted children from the beginning. These names actually have their origins...that is, the Legend of the Eight Dogs in Nanzong Satomi!"
"The Legend of the Eight Dogs!"
Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanheye's shoulders trembled, and then their eyes showed confusion, "So what is that?"
"Humph, you don't know?" Mouri Kogoro explained to the two of them with a half-moon eye.
"This is a very famous novel written by the Edo period writer Takizawa Matsumoto..."
"In the story, Satomi Yoshimi, who saw his castle about to be captured, said to his beloved dog Hatfu - as long as you can bring the enemy general's head, I will betroth my daughter Fuki to you."
"In the end, he didn't expect that Bafang really brought back the enemy general's head."
"Afterwards, Fuki left her words, 'Although the other person is a dog, as a monarch, you must keep your word,' and then she went into seclusion in the mountains with the dog named Bafang."
"This is the prelude to the Legend of the Eight Dogs..."
"But in fact, Satomi Yoshimi actually got the position of city lord by killing the original castle lord and crusading against his disobedient ministers."
"One of the rebellious ministers' wives was named Yu Zi. Before she was beheaded, she made a curse - even if this body is destroyed, my soul will turn into a resentful spirit, and the curse will last until the whole clan is destroyed."
"So, the dog named Bafang was cursed."
"Fortunately, Fu Ji continued to recite Buddhist scriptures every day, so the effect of the curse disappeared."
"But Yoshimi Satomi ordered the retainers to get rid of the cursed dog and rescue the princess."
"Fuki sacrificed her life in order to protect Bafang. At this time, the eight rosary beads held by the princess flew into the sky and fell into the hands of the eight swordsmen with the character 'dog' in their names. They opened the
A new chapter in this saga..."
"This is the legend of the Eight Dogs seen in Nanzongli."
After Maori Kogoro's narration, Maori Lan and Toyama Kazuye were stunned.
This love story between a man and a dog sounds very soul-stirring.
Inu Fukako next to him knew this story, but did it have anything to do with their names and the current case?
Mouri Kogoro continued to reason, "In fact, the eight rosary beads in Fuki's hand are each engraved with a word, which are also eight virtues, namely benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, loyalty, trust, filial piety, and brotherhood."
"And the names of all the adopted children of the Inubushi family also imply these eight virtues."
"For example, if the left radical of "stretch" is added to the left radical of "一中", and the two horizontal lines above "一中" are added, it becomes ren..."
After Mouri Kogoro's prompt, the other three people in the room suddenly realized.
"That's it! It's not for direct use..."
"Then Mr. Zhihuang's knowledge, plus the knowledge above, becomes wisdom."
"Mr. Zenya's left radical of Zen, plus the part of ye, becomes rite."
Inufuka Kaozi on the side also thought about his name and murmured: "My name is Kaozi. Taking the head of Kao and adding Zi, it happens to be filial piety..."
It seems that the names of all the adopted children of the Inubushi family can form a corresponding virtue.
But soon, Mao Lilan discovered Hua Dian.
"But there is no virtue in Miss Yukihime's name?"
"Hmph...that's exactly what I want to say."
Mouri Kogoro sneered confidently, "Actually, Miss Yukihime is the fake adopted child lurking in Inubushi's house!"
"What! How is this possible?"
Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanheye's eyes widened in surprise.
The two of them got along quite well with Inubushi Yukihime. They both felt that Yukihime was a good person with a kind heart and was the least likely to be a murderer.
But Mouri Kogoro was not swayed by his personal feelings and continued to reason: "Think about it, the full name of the deceased Chairman Inubushi was Inubushi Tsunedi, and his name already had Te in it."
"In other words, Chairman Inubushi himself and his seven adopted children have already formed all eight virtues."
"And Inufushi Yukihime's name is the only one that cannot constitute a virtue. Even from the perspective of "Fushiki" in her name, Ms. Saomi's "Inubushi Sachan" already represents Fuhime."
"So, Miss Yukihime is the 'superfluous person' in the Inubushi family..."
Mouri Kogoro's reasoning came to the fore, which made Maori Lan and Toyama Kazuha uncontrollably shaken.
At this moment, Inufukako, who was silent on the side, suddenly exclaimed.
"That's right! I remembered it!"
"Yukihime was the last one to come to the Inubushi family, and when she first came to this family, she took her mother's surname and was named Tamaki Yuki."
Tamaki Yuki, when combined with the three characters, it happens to be "玉梓".
He is also the villain in "The Legend of the Eight Dogs" by Minami Sori!
Now, it seems that Yukihime is the murderer's theory is more solid.
Mouri Kogoro glanced at Ms. Saomi on the hospital bed, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were slowly sliding down her old cheeks.
Seeing this situation, Mouri Kogoro let out a long sigh.
"Ms. Suo Chen should have figured out Xing Ji's fake identity a long time ago and kept her by her side in order to influence her."
"But I didn't expect that this not only failed to influence her, but also caused disaster, so we had to use rosary beads to remind us..."
At this moment, everyone has imagined the evil face of Inubushi Yukihime as a villain.
But at this moment, Quan Fuchan also ran over in a hurry, holding on to the door frame and panting.
"No, it's bad... Chihuang and Yukihime are both gone!"
"What?!"
Mouri Kogoro's pupils were shaking, and he shouted, "Damn it! I didn't expect that she would be the first to take the lead!"
Inufuzen also took out a letter from his other hand and handed it to Mouri Kogoro.
"What's this?"
"I found this in Chihuang's room..." Zenya replied.
Mouri Kogoro picked up the letter and saw that it was Yukihime's crime.
"All the crimes I have committed will be repaid in the hut where I raised the devil dog, Yukihime..."
"How, how could this happen?"
Everyone in the room except Mouri Kogoro had trembling expressions, and their faces were even more in disbelief.
Because if what was said just now was just reasoning, then it is now clear that Yukihime is the murderer.
Mouri Kogoro immediately put the letter into his arms and said calmly: "It seems that Ms. Yukihime knew that her affairs would be exposed sooner or later, so she ended it in advance..."
"Mr. Chihuang discovered her final letter and must have gone to rescue her."
"In that case, let's hurry to the cabin!"
Mouri Kogoro gave the order, and everyone who was shocked by the "truth" seemed to have found the backbone and took action immediately.
Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye Ze volunteered to wake up Qin Zhibo, who was still sleeping.
In front of the guest room, Mao Lilan knocked on the sliding door.
"Mr. Qin, wake up quickly!"
"We know who the murderer is and we are going to find her now."
"Mr. Qin? Are you there?"
No one responded in the room, which made the children a little suspicious.
"I'm coming in..."
Mao Lilan slowly opened the door and saw that in a standard single room, the bedding on the tatami was neatly folded and had not been touched at all.
How is this going?
Mr. Qin is not in the room either?
Mao Lilan, Toyama Kazuye quickly told Maori Kogoro, who was already waiting at Xuanmen, about this situation.
Mouri Kogoro frowned, and after thinking for two seconds, he made up his mind to go to the cabin first.
Maybe when we get to that place, we may find that they are the ones who arrived late.
"Ignore them, let's set off immediately!"
…
In the house at the foot of the mountain, Qin Zhibo sat on an old-fashioned wooden chair and talked with the old man at night by the lantern.
After learning from Qin Zhibo about the current dead people of the Inufushi family and the legend of the Inufushi family told by Yukihime, the old man murmured.
"Actually, my grandfather was once a servant of the Inufu family, and he was also the most loyal servant of the former Inufu master, so he knows some of the Inufu family's secrets..."
"In the early days of the Meiji period, the Inubushi family was not very powerful, and Inubushi Castle did not exist."
"At that time, there was another family that existed together with the Inufushi family. This family was more powerful than the Inufushi family and always suppressed the Inufushi family in various matters."
"Until one day, a monk came to the Inubushi family."
"This monk traveled here and was warmly entertained by the head of the Inubushi family for several days. This made the monk very touched."
"So before the monk left, he left a book for the head of the Inubushi family."
"The monk said that the book contains powerful power. If you use the knowledge in the book properly, you will be able to ensure that the Inubushi family will prosper for hundreds of years."
"So after the monk left, the head of the Inubushi family carefully studied the knowledge in the book, and it didn't take long for him to learn something."
"He used the knowledge he learned to make the Inubushi family rise rapidly and become more and more powerful."
"In contrast, another big family has suffered a lot of bad luck. Their young descendants either died early, suffered from mental illness, or suddenly disappeared without a trace."
"Although this big family has suspicions about the Inubushi family, they have been unable to find any clues."
"In the end, the big family had no choice but to move away from this place, and the Inubushi family became the only wealthy family here."
"The head of the Inubushi family was very proud of his achievements, so he built a castle on the mountain, which is now the 'Inubushi Castle'."
"It's a pity that good times don't last long..."
"One day, the head of the Inubushi family suddenly rushed out of the training room like crazy, saying that he had offended the 'Inugami' and would be punished by God."
"Since that day, he has smoothed out all the 'corners' in the room, sealed himself inside without coming out, and will not meet anyone..."
