Chapter 945 Kudo Shinichi Lost His Memory

They found a phone booth and called the hotel. Naturally, they got the answer that Kudo Shinichi had not gone back at all.

Toyama and Ye had an expression that said, "Look, I knew it was like this."

Mao Lilan was already dialing Kudo Shinichi's phone number, but the cell phone had no signal at all in the mountains.

"Hey! Have you heard?" A villager on the roadside said to others, "A naked male corpse floated in the lake. I don't know his identity. He must be a foreigner."

"I know, my mom is coming over with a blanket. I heard she looks a bit like the detective who made random deductions a year ago?"

Hearing this, Mao Lilan's expression suddenly changed!

Oops, Shinichi must have slipped and fallen into the water, right?

Mao Lilan quickly ran to the villagers and asked in a panic: "Where is that person now?"

"It's right by the lake." The villager answered and pointed them in a direction.

By the time they arrived at a trot, a lot of people had gathered by the lake, and most of them came to watch Kudo Shinichi's jokes.

A villager who had seen Nobuhiro and others in the village center before saw them and waved at them: "Hey, those foreigners, your friend has fallen into the water!"

There was indeed a person who looked like a high school student sitting by the lake, wrapped in a blanket and looking dull.

"Xin, Xinyi?" As soon as she saw him, Mao Lilan couldn't care about anything else and ran over quickly, "Xinyi, why did you fall into the river?"

When the man who fell into the water heard this, he still stared blankly at the water in front of him, and his voice was hoarse: "Shinichi... Is Shinichi my name?"

"!!!" Mao Lilan opened her mouth in shock, her eyes flashing with disbelief, "Xinyi, what are you talking about?!"

But Kudo Shinichi, who was sitting by the lake, did not respond to her question. He looked at Mao Lilan calmly, as if he were looking at a stranger.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hattori Heiji stepped forward with a sneer, "You are the high school detective Kudo Shinichi from Kanto! No one will laugh at such a terrible joke."

Kudo Shinichi murmured to himself: "Detective...?"

His behavior was so abnormal, not at all like the usual reaction Kudo Shinichi should have. It’s like I’ve lost my memory!

"Hey, Asano." Hattori Heiji called quietly, "What exactly did Kudo tell you? Did he really go back to the hotel first?"

Nobushige was inspecting the surrounding environment. Hearing this, he replied innocently: "He asked me to tell you that he went back to the hotel first. Is there any problem?"

Hattori Heiji felt speechless for a while, but he could at least be sure that Kudo Shinichi had indeed gone to deal with something quietly, so Asano Nobuhige needed to "tell" them his whereabouts.

Then Kudo Shinichi might slip and fall into the water when meeting someone in the forest, hit his head or suffer from amnesia due to other reasons.

but……

"Why don't you seem worried about Kudo at all?" Hattori Heiji asked suspiciously.

Nobushige glanced at him and said coldly: "Not everyone will put their worries out in the open. Besides, don't you think this is strange? There are no obvious traumas on Kudo's body, but he has symptoms of amnesia. , this is more like the human body’s self-protection reaction after being frightened. But with his psychological quality, can anyone in this world really scare him to the point of amnesia?”

"Well, it does seem that way..." Hattori Heiji irritably rubbed his head into a chicken coop, "But he is Kudo Shinichi. Look at his face and pinch it yourself. It’s definitely a real skin that is guaranteed to be fake!”

Hattori Heiji rubbed Kudo Shinichi's face so hard that he left light red marks on Kudo Shinichi's skin.

"Hattori..." Mao Lilan couldn't help calling, "What are you doing?"

Hattori Heiji immediately stopped: "Ah, sorry, sorry, I just want to prove to Asano that this is the real Kudo and not someone else pretending to be it."

Kudo Shinichi caressed his red cheeks, his expression still dazed: "Who am I, and where is this place?"

The young man exudes a sad mood that seems to be able to infect those around him. But for some reason, when Mao Lilan looked at him, she felt calm inside.

Why was she not worried or scared at all when Shinichi suffered such a big disaster?

"Hey, since we've fished the person out, let's forget it." The uncle responsible for rescuing people said with a look of disgust, "If I had known that this guy was actually Kudo Shinichi, I wouldn't have saved him!"

"That's right, let's just let such a wicked person fend for himself in the river." Another whispered, "Maybe what happened to him is actually a curse from the power in the forest!"

Because Nobuhiro was close enough to hear the villagers' words clearly, he asked curiously: "What mysterious power?"

However, the villagers remained secretive and kept mumbling the words "to get rid of evil spirits" before leaving the shore together.

"Hey! Can you tell me clearly what's going on?" Hattori Heiji tried to stop them, but failed.

Nobushige glanced at Kudo Shinichi who was all wet, and suggested: "Let's go back to the hotel first and change Kudo into dry clothes. He may catch a cold like this."

Hattori Heiji agreed: "That's right. Kudo lives in the same room with me. I'll get it for him."

In the sunset, Nobushige led a group of high school students towards the hotel. Kudo Shinichi, who was frightened, was protected by them in the center.

But no one noticed that under the light of the setting sun, a furry figure stood on the treetops in the distance.

…

Kudo Shinichi finished changing his clothes and walked out of the room.

Nobushige breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I told Kudo to bring a change of clothes when I came out, otherwise he would have to wear Hattori's clothes."

"It fits very well." Yuan Shan and Ye stuck out their tongues after saying, "That's right, it's one person's clothes, so of course it fits."

Hattori Heiji stared at Kudo Shinichi for a long time and said with a headache: "With Kudo's current state, how can we still investigate the case a year ago? Should we go back to Tokyo tomorrow?"

"Don't doubt it." Nobumangi said seriously, "I have to go back tomorrow."

Toyama Kazuye: "Hey, why? Didn't you say you wanted to play here for a few days?"

Nobushige glanced at Kudo Shinichi and said: "If Kudo suffered amnesia due to trauma, he might be able to recover quickly if he receives treatment early. We can't stay here for too long. Right, Miss Mori?"

"Hmm... um." Mao Lilan nodded hesitantly, "I'm afraid I can only rely on the doctor for Shinichi's condition."

Of course she was worried about Shinichi, but besides that, Mao Lilan always felt that there was a sense of disharmony lingering around them.
