"Wait!
You're saying … this is the grave of greedy people? "This was one of the victim's subordinates.
When the police officer told her all these legends, her first reaction was surprise, and there was also a kind of … understanding?
It was because of this that he died in this place.
She thought so.
One person brought it up.
The others also looked at each other one after another.
Some of them had been working for him for ten years, but their salary didn't increase at all.
There were very few people. He could give the work of three or four people to one person.
Every team had a fixed fee.
As long as they could produce results, the other companies wouldn't care.
Therefore, their team leader was the one who earned the most money.
Many people were invited to have their salaries increased.
Just like what she said to him two days ago.
Unfortunately, it didn't change his mind.
The legend here … A certain primary school detective's hand was placed on his chin. He was seriously connecting all the dots.
It was a legend from many years ago, and the legend itself was problematic.
At that time, no one saw any supernatural events. They only said that everyone was together.
The legend back then seemed more like a murder case without finding the real culprit.
However, there was no way to reconstruct it.
That era was too early. Even the people here didn't know about it.
The historical records of this place didn't even mention it.
The police didn't leave any records either.
Even the last similar case had been a long time ago.
However, this police officer's great-grandfather had experienced that incident.
At that time, he was also a police officer like him.
But this case had been decided long ago.
This police officer brought them to see his great-grandfather.
He was an old man with a white beard.
He was still in high spirits.
He began to criticize the police officer as soon as he arrived.
It was working time now. Why did he come here?
The police were supposed to protect the people.
This old man didn't even start to talk about his principles.
This police officer smiled with a headache.
He said that this time, it was because he had encountered a rather troublesome case.
That was why he specially came to ask for help.
It was a case related to that legend.
This time, the old man looked serious.
That similar case happened again.
The old man anxiously confirmed this with him.
When he got a positive answer as he expected, he sat there looking very tired.
After letting out a long sigh, he pulled out some information from the side.
This was all information from that time.
The police and their superiors had stopped this case.
But he still didn't give up.
This matter couldn't be pushed to those gods just like that!
What the hell!
This was an irresponsible thing to do.
They were the police.
Not those who only knew how to cheat money but didn't do anything.
He really tried very hard to find all the information.
He had asked everyone who was familiar with the victim.
All the things from that time were all here.
He still suspected that it was one of them.
But after so long, he still didn't get the correct answer....
A few decades had passed.
Most of the people at that time didn't live to this day, and even if they did, there weren't many people who were as healthy as him.
Among these people, he was probably the only one who remembered this matter.
This was the only regret he had when he was a police officer.
Those people all had a motive to commit the crime.
After a certain primary school detective read through it, his eyes locked on a few people.
The muddle-headed detective was still standing there with a confused look on his face.
The victim was strangled to death by a very thin rope.
It didn't seem complicated.
There was no way to get the truth.
Even if it was Conan Edogawa, he could only read a little bit more information at most.
There were too many identical statements in these people's statements.
They were not the same to describe the situation.
It was as if these words were said by the same person.
Collusion?
Or maybe someone knew the truth and helped others to hide it.
'Shinichi Kudo' had the same thoughts as him.
When the police officer raised an objection, it was a completely different story.
He had read it many times.
There shouldn't be such an obvious and simple mistake, right?
Their explanations were particularly long, and each of them took a long time to read. However, most of them were useless content. After extracting the useless content, the more crucial information was described in a completely consistent way.
Kudo Shinichi helped him finish the work of sorting out.
It was as expected.
Only these things with the same content would have substantial content.
As for the others, they were a bit messy and didn't seem to be logical at all.
Of course, that wasn't all.
One of them had a very good logic when it came to other content.
It was exactly the same as this paragraph.
'Shinichi Kudo' wanted to ask this person.
But the Masumi Sera beat him to it.
The tomboy detective showed her cute canine teeth and pointed at the person.
It was him!
He was the smartest person in the town at that time.
He was the best at school and at work.
This person had nothing to do with the victim.
It was because he had been hanging out with a few of his good friends.
That was why he called him over to ask about the situation at that time.
Was there something wrong with him?
The old man looked as if time had stopped in the past.
Mōri Kogoro snatched the things over. With the reminder from 'Shinichi Kudo' and the Masumi Sera, he also noticed the fixed logic of the situation.
Did that mean that he was the one who made the others say those words?
The old man seemed to be especially excited.
The person who came up with these alibis and all the actions of the victims was indeed this person.
The corners of Conan Edogawa's mouth curled up slightly at this moment.
However, this didn't mean that he was the one who did it.
His friends were very likely to be the culprit.
The old man finally heaved a long sigh of relief.
Even though the case wasn't completely solved, it was enough to solve the knot in his heart that had troubled him for the rest of his life.
He was already very, very old.
He wouldn't be able to say it for the rest of his life.
Ever since he had just started working!
Using this method, he went further back. Especially the legend itself, which was slightly more detailed.
Only all the people could confirm it.
There was no other evidence.
And the victim was someone who was feared and hated by everyone.
After his death, they all lived happily ever after.
These were all just guesses.
The schoolboy detective showed a slightly relaxed smile.
The legend could no longer be verified.
At that time, whether it was witnesses or physical evidence, they all disappeared with time.
Those who coveted things that didn't belong to them would be punished.
The legend was also gone.
The previous case wasn't a case with a wide range of influence.
It couldn't be compared to the original legend at all.
Only the few people involved and the police, including the old man, knew about it.
When he saw the information of a certain person, the photo taken with the old film looked familiar.
This was the friend of the person who made up the story.
When the policeman found the information, they found that there was indeed some relationship between them.
This person was his grandfather's grandfather.
In this murder case, he didn't have a sufficient alibi.
In similar cases, the person who committed the crime had a sufficient alibi.
Now, he didn't.
And the scene of this murder case was exactly the same as the original one.
In the hearts of ordinary people, they would probably exclude him because of habitual thinking.
But the schoolboy didn't do that.
He wasn't sure who the real murderer was.
But one thing was for sure, that person must have known about the legend here.
He also knew the details of the method in the legend.
When Conan Edogawa was thinking about this, he saw a very familiar person.
This was the victim's wife.
His gaze immediately locked onto the person who had taken the photo and made up the story to the police.
There was a very beautiful woman standing there. Because she accidentally walked into the camera, the photo wasn't that clear, but it was enough.
They were newlyweds.
Under Conan Edogawa's childish voice, the old man patiently told him all this.
She looked very similar to the victim's wife that he saw today!
She still had a childish voice.
But this person didn't seem to be from this town.
That was what the police officer told him.
This was all the information that he had just asked someone to get from the police station.
This woman married the victim five or six years ago.
According to them, she came to this town for the first time before she got married.
She had been living in the countryside of Hokkaido.
