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 during the trip... The trip took longer than expected, and I don’t know if I will stay outside for a few days. Take them home and wash them.

At about 9 o'clock, the tiredness accumulated during the journey and the busyness of the day left Xiaolan in a state of distress.

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

After all, it’s not as big as 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 dark... It was a little different 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... In sleep, he was more alert than when he was awake.This is an instinct...he heard someone stepping on the snow making a crunching noise, 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 didn't 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 motionless outside the door, except for making noise with inconspicuous movements.

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

The pretty-looking girl lay on her back, her pure sleep was peaceful and unprepared... she didn't mean to respond to the outsider.

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 made his voice sound vigilant and asked:

"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 each other enough time with kindness, 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 row of 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 cloister of Jingyu's feet.

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

Because for now, catching the other party disguised as an armor samurai to scare people has no meaning for detecting murder cases... Instead, it will make the other party more vigilant.

Jingyu stood here in the corridor for three minutes, and after releasing the signal of "nothing was found, I was very puzzled", she returned to the room and closed the sliding door.There was a voice in the room, and Xiaolan was confused and asked,'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 eating breakfast, everyone gathered in a room and talked about it.

"Hey--!" Xiao Lan said in surprise: "It happened that kind of thing happened... Brother, really, why didn't you wake me up at that time?"

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

Jingyu glanced at her with the look of'Are you most afraid of ghosts and the like'?

Xiaolan blushed.She could not only feel the strong concern in this sentence, but also feel embarrassed to be punctured.The heart said, "Brother is a fool. If someone wakes up, if something happens, they will face you together."

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

She could only make a small mouth beep.

'The other four people' are naturally members of the Hutian family.The family's husband and wife, called the second son of the chubby body, and the widow of the dead Yilang... they also looked at Jingyu with a surprised expression.

Jingyu looked at Xiaolan's cute 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 picking up the tableware shook their heads blankly.

In contrast, Hu Tianda Rong seemed more calm, 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 glanced at her deeply. "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 turned away and looked at his husband Hu Tian straightly.

This seems to be something to do with Jingyu's words, but in fact, was forced to retreat with Jingyu's glance... For a moment, 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, she soon regarded this as 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 he wanted to really find some problems.It was possible to crack the mystery of his son's death, and seize 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 for a while 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 Kogoro were obviously curious why the crowd would just gather here.

Xiao Lan explained to them.

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

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

Hebei 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.
