"This village is far from as simple as it seems."
Hattori Heiji concluded his reasoning:
"They are not poor at all. On the contrary, they are very rich."
After hearing this, everyone, including Sakaki Makoto, nodded in agreement.
Only Tumen Kanghui asked:
"Can you deduce the true face of Hirai Village from a bottle of orange juice?"
"What's the reasoning?"
Hattori Heiji shrugged and said disapprovingly:
"Use the details to discover the truth hidden behind it. This is reasoning. I wonder if you noticed it, Mr. Domon. When you took out the Black Dragon Daiginjo, Uncle Hirai was very surprised."
"I found out. Uncle has no other hobbies. He just likes drinking. He will definitely be happy to see Black Dragon Daiginjo."
"That's the problem!"
Seeing the right opportunity, Conan took up the conversation and continued:
"After Uncle Hirai got the Black Dragon Daiginjo, he didn't put it in his hand and rub it like a wine lover. Instead, he threw it aside. This shows that he doesn't care about the value of the wine. It's just because of you, Mr. Domon. I still feel happy that he loves to drink!”
There is an essential difference between the two. Tumen Yasuhui's pupils narrowed and his heart sank.
He lived in the village for a month 20 years ago. During that time, he often drank with Uncle Hirai. Every time he drank too much, Uncle Hirai always said that he wanted to drink the famous Daiginjo 'Ryu' brewed by Kurolong Shuzo. At that time, this wine could be said to be the most expensive sake. It used wine-making technology and was famous.
A true wine lover will definitely fall in love with it when he sees it, but Uncle Hirai did not do that, nor did he praise it even during dinner.
Why?
Domon Yasuki didn't think much about it at first, until Conan and the others revealed the secret.
The reason is very simple. A person who is used to drinking Moutai will not praise Moutai when they see it. They will only take it for granted.
Sakaki and the others noticed the small details. This is the difference between detectives and ordinary people.
Hirai Village is definitely not rich enough to drink Black Dragon Daiginjo every now and then.
money.
Where did it come from?
"I'm going to the kitchen."
Thinking of this, Tumen Yasuhui suddenly stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to find out.
Sakaki followed him out of the room and came to the kitchen at the end of the corridor. There were candles on the stove, and Aunt Hirai was washing dishes by the candlelight.
Seeing Yasuki Domon, Aunt Hirai immediately stood up and asked with a smile:
"What's wrong?"
"I drank too much and I'm thirsty."
Tumen Yasuhui licked his lips, looked around, and saw the old refrigerator standing in the corner:
"Is there water?"
"Yes, there is, there is"
When Aunt Hirai heard this, she thought it was something big. She was feeling thirsty. Without saying a word, she opened the refrigerator, took out two bottles of mineral water, and stuffed them into Yasuhiro Domon's hands:
"Take it and drink it. If it's not enough, tell me again!"
"Thanks."
Looking at the mineral water in his hand, Tumen Yasuhui smiled hoarsely and turned back to the room.
His face looked like the weather outside, with dark clouds. He sat down, squeezed the mineral water bottle loudly, and breathed a little quickly.
Mineral water is at room temperature.
Uncle Hirai's house most likely has a second refrigerator.
The convenience store in the village is not far from Uncle Hirai's house. It only takes 7 or 8 minutes to walk. Even so, Uncle Hirai always has orange juice and mineral water at home.
Combine it with the modern furniture of Uncle Guangda’s house next door.
I'm afraid the truth is as Sakaki and others said, Hirai Village is not poor at all, but very wealthy.
and
The source of funds was estimated to be improper.
Gritting his teeth, Tumen Yasuhui felt heavy.
He hopes more than anyone else that Pingjing Village can live a good life, but he doesn't want them to break the law for money.
"Ah Qing's death."
After a long silence, Tumen Yasuhui asked in a hoarse voice:
"Does it have anything to do with money?"
"It depends on his character."
With a 'pop' sound, the fire went out, and Sakaki lit a cigarette with a deep look:
"What kind of person is Ah Qing?"
"He is kind, cheerful, and likes the forest. He is a good person but can stick to the bottom line at critical moments."
Tumen Yasuhui grinned and said:
"Every time he goes up the mountain, he will bring a shotgun, but I have never seen him kill any animals. When he is in danger, he will shoot into the sky and use the sound of the gun to scare them away."
"I get along very well with him. He is the youngest in the family, but he is not well received by his three older brothers. We agreed that we would go to Tokyo with him when I recover from my injury. But it was my father who came to the village that day, and his attitude "Tough, I didn't want Ah Qing to see his face, so I got in the car alone, planning to come back in a few days, but it didn't happen."
"After returning to Tokyo, my father immediately sent me to the Self-Defense Forces for training, so my agreement with Qing was delayed again and again."
Sakaki and others looked at each other in confusion. After hearing this, they roughly guessed what was going on.
If a good old man is murdered, there's usually only one reason.
Boom, boom, boom.
Rapid footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor, heading straight to the next room.
Sakaki and the others curiously walked out of the room and came to the next door. They saw Takao Hirai looking panicked and speaking quickly:
"Dad, something happened on the mountain!"
The village chief, who had just finished drinking and was taking a nap on the quilt, opened his eyes suddenly when he heard this:
"What happened?"
"Heavy rain washed away the mountains, and the barbed wire fence in the hunting ground was broken!"
"Nani?!"
The village chief's eyes widened and he asked sternly:
"There are black bears in the hunting ground! Have you contacted the town?!"
"I contacted you, but the rain is too heavy and they won't be able to make it for a while!"
"It's broken, it's broken."
The village chief paced back and forth in the room anxiously, sweating frequently.
The hunting ground on the mountain is related to the economic lifeline of the village. Once there is a problem, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Quick, go call the others, we can't wait for the rain to stop!"
"knew!"
Takao Hirai put on his raincoat and rushed into the pouring rain without looking back.
"Uncle?"
Tumen Yasuhui, who heard the conversation between the two, asked in confusion:
"It's just a hole in the barbed wire fence. Is there any danger?"
"You don't know the inside story"
The village chief shook his head and sighed, with a serious expression:
"The hunting ground is an artificially controlled ecology. Large animals cannot be allowed in. Now that there is a hole in the barbed wire fence, the black bears preparing to hibernate will definitely take advantage of it. The hunting ground is like a cafeteria for them! If all the animals are eaten, who will Come hunting? The village will have no source of funds!”
"so."
Tumen Yasuhui looked back and said:
"Gui Nan and the others are going into the mountains now?"
"Yes, the town won't be able to send anyone for a while. Only the village's mountain rangers, a dozen or so of them, will be left. If they act quickly, they can seal the hole before the black bear enters the hunting ground!"
