"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."
