Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1172 Tragedy caused by misunderstanding

Agata Riki, who wanted to escape, was so frightened by the muzzles of more than a dozen black guns of the Kyoto Prefectural Police that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

Ayanokouji, wearing a uniform, walked out from the crowd with a slightly red face.

It’s a bit embarrassing to wear the same high school uniform at such an old age, but it’s all worth it since it’s all for the purpose of catching the murderer.

Yuya and others came forward.

Hattori Heiji asked with some confusion: "But there is one thing we still don't understand, why did you put two big bumps on the head of the corpse?"

At first I thought it was to imitate the horns of a tengu, but then I thought something was not right.

The answer to the question remained unanswered during the investigation.

It is very uncomfortable for a detective to have a question in his hand without an answer. The murderer happened to be here, so he just asked directly.

Agata fell to his knees on the ground powerlessly, having given up resistance.

Hearing Hattori Heiji's question, he directly gave the answer: "In the story of the swollen grandfather, the bad grandfather imitated the good grandfather and angered the Tengu. As a punishment, he grew two swollen lumps on his face."

"I came up with this murder plan because I saw Keiko fall down during filming and got a big bump on her head."

After hearing the answer, Hattori Heiji proudly raised his eyebrows to Chao Yuya and Kudo Shinichi, meaning, am I right in my guess?

Kudo Shinichi rolled his eyes. This had nothing to do with solving the case, so he just guessed it.

Yuya changed the subject directly: "So, your motive for murder was because Izuku's name didn't appear in the film's credits?"

"Yeah, I told them about Ikuri's stunned look in the theater, and to my surprise, they said, 'Really? He was so surprised! That's great! That went really well!'"

Yuya opened his mouth, hesitant about whether to tell him the truth.

Sera Masumi said, "Is it possible that the staff got the list wrong?"

Agata Riki said bitterly, "I thought so at first, too, so I went to the staff to confirm, but they told me that no one's name was added or removed, they just rearranged the spacing between the names."

He looked up and yelled at Sera Masumi, "So, they never intended to include Ikuri's name from the beginning! They only called Ikuri to the premiere just to make fun of him!"

Yuya couldn't listen any longer and opened his mouth to explain, but was interrupted by someone.

"That's not the case, Agada!"

Keiko Arachi squeezed out from among the police officers, with Ma Shanfeng standing beside her.

She said with a sad face, "We specifically changed the gaps between the names!"

Aga Tianli didn't want to see her, so he turned his face away and said through gritted teeth, "What's there to quibble about now?"

Ma Shanfengren sighed, took out his phone, and pulled up a photo. "Agata, take a look for yourself. This is the list of credits that appeared during the movie. All five of our names appear at the same time."

Agata Riki looked up and saw that it was indeed the case.

The strangest thing about the list is that the names of the five people are not arranged in a straight line, but there are some gaps left intentionally.

Agata Li stared blankly at the list, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Ma Shanfengren said sadly, "Keiko and I deliberately changed the name and adjusted the spacing between the characters. It looks a bit crooked at first glance, but it was actually all done to make the name Kuri Michio appear alongside ours!"

Agata Riki's eyes suddenly widened. He snatched the phone and stared blankly at the list on the screen.

Just as Ma Shanfeng said, by adjusting the gaps between the five people's names, each name contributed a part to form a new character, and together they formed the name Deguri Michio.

Just like when they first worked together to make the movie.

"How, how could this happen?" Agata Riki collapsed.

Ma Shanfeng said, "Originally, we wanted to add the original title directly, but the producer disagreed, saying it would be too sudden and would cause a lot of trouble, so we came up with this solution."

Anzhi Keiko also said sadly: "He likes secret codes so much, we thought he would definitely notice this."

"In fact, we did the same thing in our graduation project, just to express our gratitude to him!"

Ma Shanfengren revealed something else: "You and Chuli are best friends, and we wanted to give you a surprise, so we kept it a secret from you."

"sorry!"

Agata Riki collapsed, covering his face and crying, "What have I done?"

Because of a misunderstanding that should have been a surprise, he killed his friend of many years. Not only did he fail to comfort his suicidal friend, he also committed an unforgivable sin.

Agata Riki's cry of regret echoed throughout Kiyomizu-dera Temple, just like the maple leaves surrounding the temple, which, after burning out half their bright red, revealed their withered truth.

···

Teitan High School gathering point.

Mao Lilan looked around anxiously and finally found the figure in the crowd.

"Shinichi, this way, we're here!"

Kudo Shinichi, Yuya and Sera Masumi hurried over.

Hattori Heiji went back home because the case was solved. However, before leaving, he received a call from Toyama Kazuha. Her angry voice came from the speaker. It is expected that something passionate will happen between the two of them (perhaps a quarrel).

Hattori Heiji's confession plan is a long and arduous journey!

"Sorry, I'm late~" Kudo Shinichi said apologetically.

We had originally planned to go out for fun together, but because we had to catch the murderer, it was delayed for a lot of time.

Mao Lilan shook her head nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Did you catch the murderer?"

Kudo Shinichi smiled and said: "I caught him, but Xiaolan, you don't have to worry about these things, we..."

"What?" Suzuki Sonoko complained dissatisfiedly, "We even changed our original itinerary just for you two."

Kudo Shinichi smiled awkwardly. After all, it was not a good case, so he decided not to tell them about it and affect their mood.

Miyano Shiho noticed that Yuya's expression was a little strange, and asked in a low voice with concern: "What's wrong? Wasn't the murderer caught?"

Yuya shook his head, and found all the comfort in squeezing her soft little hand. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, but Shiho, if we have any problems in the future, we must speak up. If we keep it to ourselves and cause any misunderstandings, it will be too late to regret it."

Miyano Shiho tilted her head, a little confused, but nodded: "Oh, I see."

She thought about it and felt that there didn't seem to be any unpleasant things between her and You. Although their daily life was very dull, there would occasionally be some cases to spice things up. It seemed that there were no misunderstandings?

Why do you suddenly say that?
