When Kudo Shinichi returned to the villa, the lights had been restored. However, only Maori Ran, Suzuki Sonoko and Feili were on the first floor, but Wakura Yukai and his children were not here.
When Mao Lilan saw Kudo Shinichi coming back, he stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
Kudo Shinichi shook his head helplessly.
"Why did you suddenly appear there?"
Suzuki Sonoko said with some fear.
Kudo Shinichi saw that there was no figure of Wakura Yukai and others here, and asked: "Where is Mr. Wakura?"
Just as he was talking, Wakura Yoichi walked out of the house next to him and said with an indifferent expression: "Isn't it just a power outage? What's the fuss?"
"Mr. Yoichi, your father is suffering from an old illness. Mr. Ryoji and the others are staying with him in the room."
Feili stepped forward and said, and Wakura Yoichi looked a little surprised: "Dad, he..."
"in the room?"
When Kudo Shinichi heard this, he asked Mao Lilan and others, "Why didn't you call an ambulance?"
"Calling an ambulance is too fussy."
Wakura Kotomi walked down from upstairs and said, followed by Wakura Ryouji and Wakura Misa.
"In such a remote and remote area, even if you go to the hospital, you won't be able to see anything."
Ryoji Wakura added, "If the situation still doesn't improve by morning, just take dad back to Tokyo for treatment."
Hearing this, Wakura Yoichi also agreed.
"Is this really okay?"
Misa Wakura raised questions.
"If I could die in my favorite village with the legend of Big Bird, that might be what my father wanted."
Wakura Kotomi said this, and then looked at the unnatural expressions of everyone present, and added: "I was joking."
"Mr. Yoichi, where did you go just now?"
At this time, Kudo Shinichi suddenly asked.
"Where to go? Go back to the room and get cigarettes."
Wakura Yoichi took out a brand new pack of cigarettes from his pocket and said impatiently, so Kudo Shinichi put the piece of paper he just got in front of everyone.
"check it out."
Wakura Yoichi took the piece of paper, and everyone present gathered over it and read out the words on it:
"Curse and kill the Wakura clan who has defiled our sanctuary!"
Seeing such words, several people in the Hecang family were shocked.
Kudo Shinichi noticed that the fragment that was previously given to Wakura Yukai was left on the ground, so he stepped forward to pick it up and thought: "The murderer may have deliberately left this fragment at the crime scene. Let Kazuma who sees this
Mr. Cang was shaken. Looking at the obvious symbols on it, if my reasoning is correct and all the pieces are collected, I will be able to discover the murderer's true motive for the murder."
At night, Ryoji Wakura suddenly came outside the house, where a ruined sacred perch was located.
Looking around at the deserted area, Wakura Ryoji became a little impatient, so he shouted: "Hey! Where are you? Are you calling people out at midnight to talk about property distribution?"
When he didn't get a response, Wakura Ryoji felt like he was being teased. But he didn't realize that a figure wearing a black feather braided cloak and a bird mask was standing behind him at this moment!
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp—"
In the living room of the villa, Kudo Shinichi once again heard the sound like the chirping of birds when the crime occurred. He looked out the window curiously, wondering what the sound was about.
At this time, Mao Lilan had already taken a bath, changed her clothes, and came to the living room. She looked at Kudo Shinichi, seeming a little uneasy and shy, and said: "I can't sleep. Come with me for a walk."
.”
Looking at each other speechlessly, Kudo and Xiaolan went out and walked around the village.
"If something like that happened, I'm afraid the memorial service will have to be suspended."
Xiaolan, who was walking in front, suddenly said.
"Maybe. But this is a big day that comes around every 300 years."
Kudo quickened his pace, walked in front of Xiaolan and said.
"It happens once every 300 years."
Xiaolan seemed to be feeling emotional, and walked a few steps quickly, walking side by side with Kudo.
"Shinichi, do you think there will really be a total solar eclipse?"
"A total solar eclipse shouldn't be possible. However, I always care about what might happen."
"Well...is this all you care about?"
Seeing Kudo's reaction, Xiaolan deliberately walked a few steps faster, turned her back to Kudo, and said, "No, there is a very romantic legend?"
"What is it?"
Kudo didn't react and blurted out.
"nothing."
Xiaolan's tone was a little disappointed, and she didn't look back. She continued walking forward and came to the foot of the sacred tree.
"What's wrong? Why are you angry?"
Noticing the change in Xiaolan's mood, Kudo ran up and took her hand.
Following the trend, Xiaolan turned around and looked at Kudo.
"Lovers who kiss under the divine perch will be together for the rest of their lives and will never be separated."
The legend told by Misa Wakura lingers in Xiaolan's mind.
At this moment, there was no one around except two young boys and girls who were in love for the first time, looking at each other as if they were in love.
Then, as cool as raindrops, a drop of liquid fell on Xiaolan's face. When she reached out and touched it, she saw bright red blood.
The two of them looked up and saw that on this sacred perch, Ryoji Kura was pierced by a sharp branch!
"ah!"
Xiaolan exclaimed.
"Anyway, we need to inform Officer Megure as soon as possible."
After a brief panic, Kudo said this. After hearing what Kudo said, Xiaolan recovered from the panic and took out her mobile phone, but what she saw was the text "outside the circle" displayed on the signal bar.
"No, there is no signal, the phone cannot be used!"
Xiaolan still said in a panic, and then immediately made a decision: "I'll notify the people in the villa!"
"please!"
Looking at Xiaolan who had already run out, Kudo stood under the sacred tree, guarding the scene and said.
Looking around, Kudo quickly found a new fragment - the same as the one at Kosaka Sho's scene before, like a part of a round object.
"Sure enough, the murderer planned to place the pieces piece by piece at the crime scene!"
But soon, Xiaolan ran back.
"It's not good, Shinichi. The phones in the villa can't be reached either. Mr. Wakura and the others are checking the reason!"
Hearing Xiaolan's words, Kudo suddenly thought of a possibility - "Don't tell me!"
Kudo said this and immediately turned around and ran out of the village. When Xiaolan saw this, she immediately followed him.
The road to the entrance of the village is not too far. Although there are woods everywhere, the path opened in the forest is still easy to find, as long as you don't enter the forest.
They were approaching the entrance of the village, and when passing a sacred perch near a waterfall, Xiaolan tripped over something because it was too dark to see the road, but it was nothing serious, so the two of them continued running towards the entrance of the village.
When they arrived at the suspension bridge at the entrance of the village, what they saw was that the suspension bridge had been burned down!
