The director of the show was also scared by the sudden movement just now and was sweating coldly: "I said that, but we are unarmed, and even if there are only cold weapons on the other side, it is scary... Oh, forget it, in short, it is a blessing that there is no one hidden inside."

Jiang Xia nodded: "I've come here, go in and have a look-- Compared with other houses I've just passed by, this house really covers a vast area."

He walked into the house and the candlestick in his hand illuminated the spacious space - there was a double bed on his right, and there were nightstands and dressing tables on his side, which looked like a bedroom.

There is an ancient desk lamp on the bedside table. Although it is covered in dust, it can still be seen that the lampshade is cute pink.

Next to the desk lamp, a photo frame was placed quietly there. Jiang Xia walked over and saw two men and women in the photo frame. The man was standing and the woman was sitting next to him. The two were about the same age, both looked at the camera and smiled happily.

Among them, the man is the younger mayor of Jincheng, and the woman sitting next to him...

"Oh! This is the mayor's wife." The director of the program also looked closer and recognized it. "It seems that this should be the mayor's wife's bedroom. Alas, seeing this kind of photo again now, it's really a change of things - the mayor's wife is very good, but she didn't expect she died of illness early."

Hattori Heiji remembered the riddle, picked up the photo frame without hesitation, and looked back and forth.

Suddenly, the pressing plate on the back of the photo frame slid open. Hattori Heiji was stunned and found that there were two photo papers inside.

Jiang Xia: "Flip over and take a look."

The one near the glass below was obviously the photo of the mayor and his wife who had just seen. And the one hidden in the middle...

Hattori Heiji turned it over and revealed the content, and found that it was also a group photo, and it was also a man and a woman - but this time, the person in the photo was not the mayor and his wife, but the mayor and a beautiful young woman.

The two stood in front of a three-story ancient building. The woman faced the camera with fair skin, long hair reaching her waist, and black hair on her cheeks neatly cut off, which was a gentle and quiet "Princess Cut" style.

Hattori Heiji said "Hmm?" and said, "This mayor, can you be having an affair."

"Haha, you misunderstood him." The director of the show saw the photo and shook his head, "This is the only daughter of Mayor Jincheng Town, Miss Xiaodu."

When it comes to the victim who was kidnapped and who was suspected of being killed and buried on the island, the director of the program sighed:

"Miss Xiaodu is the same as the mayor's wife. She is beautiful and has a good temper. She is the most popular girl in our town. Everyone envied her back then, but who knew that something happened 5 years ago... Alas, it's so lucky."

Conan glanced at him suspiciously. Since he discovered that Jiang Xia was surrounded by these bad guys, he was full of doubts about everyone:

"Uncle, aren't you a staff member of Kyushu TV? I remember that the headquarters of Kyushu TV is very far away from here. How do you know so clearly about the local affairs in Okinawa?"

The director of the show sighed nostalgic: "The servant at the mayor's family is actually my cousin. She often mentions the mayor's affairs to me. I have also come here to play a few times, so I understand this - in fact, this is one of the reasons why I decided to take on this show. To be honest, our TV station is actually not optimistic about this show. If it weren't for the much money given by Mayor Jincheng and the fact that this matter has something to do with me, I would definitely not have appeared here."

Conan: "..." I give you a lot of money... You guy is honest.

Suzuki Yuanko and Ran Mori looked at each other, and their goosebumps stood up one by one: "Wait, I remember someone said just now that in the robbery four years ago..."

"That's right." The director of the show said helplessly, "Four years ago, when the robbers went to the Jincheng Town House to rob the Golden Screen, they killed a maid - unfortunately, the victim was my cousin."

When Curacao heard this, he was silent for a moment, and was a little away from him as if nothing had happened: According to experience, all of these families were killed were very dangerous.

"Fortunately, this director looks like he is powerless and doesn't carry a weapon. Even if he stabs him with a knife, I can kick him down with just one kick. If he is the murderer, I'm safer."

At this time, I don’t know if I felt the suspicion from the side, but the director of the show suddenly remembered something: “When it comes to cousins, Ikema’s mother is a real sister to the mayor’s wife, so he and the mayor’s daughter are also cousins.”

Curacao remembered the young and strong boatman: "…"

Well, the difficulty has increased slightly, and sure enough, nothing good is next to Uzzo.

"No wonder both of them are black and straight." Suzuki Yuanko was more concerned about another thing, she muttered, "But she doesn't look very similar. Miss Xiaodu is much more beautiful."

Jiang Xia took a photo of Jincheng’s father and daughter and looked at it: “The castle behind them…”

"Oh, that's the mayor's home, not a real castle, but an antique building - many tourists thought it was a scenic spot, so they ran over to take photos." The director laughed and recalled:

"The mayor's house is very big. My cousin said that when the house was built, Miss Xiaodu was still a child of four or five years old. When she saw the house, she said happily that she felt like a princess living in a castle."

Suzuki Yuanko's eyes lit up and she felt more and more that she was getting closer to the truth: "Since this building is very famous in the town, it is normal for others to call Miss Xiaodu the princess who lives in the castle - the strange words next to the corpse a year ago, the 'princess' inside is indeed referring to Miss Xiaodu!"

Jiang Xia pointed to the door frame beside him: "When talking about strange words, there are some engraved here."

He shone through the light and reflected three sets of horizontal lines with different heights on the threshold. Above each set of horizontal lines, he used Hiragana to write a few words crookedly.

"Tickline?" Hattori Heiji looked closer and quickly recognized it. "This kind of thing should be a height record that a child likes to draw."

He looked over from the top and down in sequence: "The top bar says 'chioni', and the bottom is 'kachan', and the bottom is 'me' - it seems that this was carved by Miss Xiaodu when she was a child."

Ran Maori breathed a sigh of relief: It turned out to be such a childish thing... It's not just a curse text.
