Infinite Replacement

On the evening of the same day, Jingyu and Xiaolan informed the Hutian family and his wife of the fact that Xiaowulang's three people stayed at Longwei's house. They ate dinner at the Hutian house by themselves. Xiaolan also borrowed the laundry room of the Hutian house and washed the three people wearing dirty clothes. The trip took longer than expected, and they did not know that they would stay outside for a few days. Take it home and clean it.

At about 9 o'clock, the tiredness accumulated during the trip and the busyness of the day left Xiao Lan in a hurry.

Jingyu accompanied her to lay a mattress on the tatami mat and fell asleep together.

After all, it’s not like a metropolis. There is no noise from vehicles driving outside, and no lights from neon lights. After turning off the indoor lights, it would have been a bit dark tonight. The white snow spreading in the courtyard slightly increased the brightness of the night.

After sleeping in the middle of the night, Jingyu opened his eyes during sleep, and his alertness was higher than when he was awake. It was an instinct. He heard someone stepping on the snow and made a crunching sound, and approached the room where he and Xiaolan lived.

Of course, he can only hear because his hearing is too strong at this moment.

The other party did not think so, so he boarded the corridor outside the sliding door, and made a slightly louder voice on the corridor.

From the inside of the darker room to the outside, you can see a hazy shadow projected on the sliding door-

It is a humanoid figure. Because of wearing armor, the boundary between the head and the body can not be distinguished; this armor is also very special, with two pointed corners on the top of the head, and a lot of long and messy hair on the outside of the iron skin. The man in armor stood still outside the door, except for making noise with inconspicuous movements.

Jingyu glanced at the "Shadow of Samurai" and glanced at Xiaolan on his left.

The pretty-looking girl lay on her back, her pure sleep was peaceful and unguarded, and she didn't want to respond to the outside disturb.

Jingyu couldn't help smiling.

To make the other party continue to make trouble, it must be made louder. Now that he is awake, there is no need to wake the other party to Xiaolan. He makes his voice sound vigilant and asks:

"Who's outside? Dare to mess around, don't blame me for being rude!"

The sound of stepping on the corridor stopped abruptly, and the shadow projected on the sliding door disappeared.

Jingyu gave the other party enough time ‘kindly’, and then opened the sliding door and walked to the edge of the corridor.

The snow has stopped, and the snow in the courtyard is about five centimeters thick. This is judged from the footprints on the ground through the rear door leading here. There is only one row of footprints. The reason is very simple. The other party did not have time to leave, but hid under the corridor where Jingyu stepped on.

Even knowing this, Jingyu did not bend down to pull it out.

Because for now, catching the other party disguised as a samurai warrior to scare people has no meaning in detecting a murder case but will make the other party more vigilant.

After standing in the corridor for three minutes, Jingyu released the signal of ‘nothing was found, and was very puzzled’, and then returned to the room and closed the sliding door. There was a voice in the room, and Xiaolan was vaguely asking, ‘Brother, what are you doing? "Jingyu answered her, "I went to the bathroom".

After the room was completely quiet, there was a shadow, a veritable shadow. Except for a pair of eyes, the whole body, even the clothes and body shape, could not show a dark shadow, and got out from under the gallery.

Looking at the direction of the sliding door, his white teeth showed a mocking sneer.

On the second day, Jingyu woke up half an hour earlier than usual and sent a relatively long text message on his mobile phone. Then, after having breakfast, everyone gathered in a room and talked about it.

"Hey--!" Xiao Lan said in surprise: "Actually, that kind of thing happened to my brother. Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Wake you up? What if I scared you?"

Jingyu glanced at her with the look of "Are you most afraid of ghosts or something?"

Xiaolan blushed. She could not only feel the deep concern in this sentence, but also feel embarrassed to be punctured. The heart said, brother is a fool, if you wake up, if something happens, they will face you together.

This kind of little daughter's family is naturally unable to see him, and four other people spoke out.

She could only make a small bet.

"The other four people" are naturally from the Hutian family. The couple, the second son of a chubby body, and the widow of the dead Yilang, also looked at Jingyu with a surprised expression.

Jingyu looked at Xiaolan's lovely expression and turned to Hutian's family with a smile.

"I want to ask, has such a thing happened here before?"

Fanji and the widow who was packing up chopsticks shook their heads blankly.

In contrast, Hu Tian Darong seemed calmer, jokingly said: "Jing Yujun, wouldn't it be that you were half asleep and half awake? How could there be ghosts in the world."

"I didn't say it was a ghost!" Jingyu gave her a deep look. "Again, the eyes will bloom, but the traces on the ground won't. The snow stopped at midnight last night, the one in the backyard Footprints, if you don’t believe it, you can compare it with your shoes to see if there are people who match this family."

"This" Darong looked away, and now hesitantly looked at her husband Hu Tian directly.

This seems to be something that should be done in response to Jingyu's words, but in fact, for a moment when Jingyu was forced to retreat with a glance, Darong felt that he was seen through. But she was overconfident and even dared to think about committing a crime after the detective arrived. Obviously, this soon became an illusion.

Hutian Zhixin is a fat man in a kimono, aged 61, who does not look so old on the face.

As the head of the family, he has his own majesty and determination.

"Then let's go check it out."

He was not trying to prove to Jingyu that there was no problem with this family, but that he hoped to really find some problems. So that the mystery of his son's death was solved, and he caught the despicable man who died before he died.

Everyone stood up and walked towards the backyard. However, there was a knock on the front door before stepping out.

"Maybe it's Kogoro, they are here, just in time." Jingyu said with a smile.

Hu Tianzhi thought about it and thought that it was better to see a detective in the presence of the scene, so he stopped and let the daughter-in-law open the door. Soon after, Kogoro, Conan, and Hattori came together, followed by two others, Uehara Yui and a young woman.

After seeing Jingyu, Uehara Yui quietly gestured to the women around him and nodded slightly.

Jingyu returned her knowing look.

The three of Kogoro are obviously curious why the crowd will just gather here.

Xiao Lan explained to them.

Compared to the Hutian family, Conan and Heibu Heiji even believed in Jingyu's judgment. They ran to the backyard first.

When the others came, the two young detectives had completed the site survey.

Hebe stood on the snow with three rows of footprints, and Conan stood near the wooden corridor. They glanced at each other and got affirmation from each other's eyes. After the others were almost lined up under the gallery, they performed for the little reasoning on the scene.
