"Well... okay." Seeing that Heiji was already blocking him, Eminem had no choice but to go to Shimura's house with him.

In this secluded village, "surname" becomes... no, it maintains an important position.

"Speaking of the surname Shimura... was there also a famous 'Shimura' in the era of ninjas in Golden City? I heard that there was a village named Sarutobi nearby." Eminem asked Heiji on the road.

After all, it is normal for Eminem to feel familiar with the two elements appearing at the same time, and... As a lover of Ninja Village culture and a native of Jinhuang City, Heiji also believes that he should know something.

"Hahaha, when the Alliance Era came, many ancient families had their branches move away. A large part of them crossed over the Silver Mountains and came to the Chengdu area. If you want to say it is related, it is indeed related. More than a hundred years ago, they They are both from Golden City, but when it comes to Sarutobi and Shimura... they are probably not the real direct descendants of these two surnames, they are just for the sake of popularity." Heiji whispered to Eminem afterward.

After hearing this, Eminem understood clearly that the surname was indeed unreliable at all - just like a large number of people with the surname Uchiha nowadays, most likely they are just for popularity, but Natsu, who is not surnamed Uchiha, is A true Uchiha descendant...

"Then why did they come to you this time..." Eminem had a bad feeling.

"I heard that their son was killed not long ago. There has been no clues in the local Junsha, so I asked my mother for help... But after all, it is across jurisdictions, and my mother can't directly send people to investigate, so she asked me to come Let’s take a look.” Heiji didn’t know the specific situation yet.

The "patriarch's" house is at the very back of the village, and there are only a few households in the entire small village.

Because of Heiji, Shimura Mashi, as the clan leader, warmly welcomed everyone...

Of course, it is said that he is the "patriarch", but now even in such a closed village, it only retains a lot of traditions. In fact, except in a large family, the "patriarch" can only be heard.

As for family property and so on...

It's just that the old house still has some land, and it's not as good as the "Saunai" big dog in the previous inheritance dispute.

As the patriarch of this generation, Wei Shi seems to be a good old man overall, and even the face-blind Eminem can remember his Chinese character and the long eyelashes on his face at a glance...

After being invited in, Taishi showed Heiji the photo of his murdered "son" while making tea.

Fortunately, at this time, Heiye, Tomoyo and the others had already gone to the guest room prepared for Shi, and were not here. As for Eminem... because he came with Heiji, he had no intention of avoiding it at this time. Wei Shi thought he was It’s also Junsha.

"Is this... buried in an earthen urn, and then exposed on the head, and then continuously hit hard... What a cruel gangster!" Heiji said after looking at the photo.

Different from the cases that Eminem heard Sonoko mention before, this is obviously a murder case for Shi's "son" Koji!

The whole person was buried in a large urn, with only the upper part of the chest outside the soil, and his head was bruised and bleeding. This could not be an "accident" by any means.

and……

"Huh? This is a case that happened last month, right? It turns out... it was left behind by the murderer, right?" Heiji discovered at this time that there was a leaf in the pool of blood.

Eminem also noticed this - not because Eminem's observation skills have improved, but because Eminem just heard about a similar thing not long ago!

"Is it because... it has something to do with the Sarutobi family?" Ammu asked speculatively.

When the son of the Sarutobi family died, there was a leaf next to him - this was not too strange, after all, it was half a year ago.

But Koji, who died last month, actually had a leaf next to him...

This is very strange!

Last month, there were no leaves to be found nearby unless I placed them specifically next to him!

"Ah? It turns out you have already heard about this... we don't know about this." In fact, Wei Shi also doubted the Sarutobi family, thinking that they were angry at the Shimura family because of Yoshihiro's death.

It was just because Jun Sha didn't find any evidence and was always a good man that he didn't express this speculation.

"What do you know? How do you know?" Heiji looked at Eminem in confusion.

"I just called Sonoko. Uncle Kogoro and the others are at Sarutobi's house. The Sarutobi family were also worried about an accident half a year ago, so they called Uncle Kogoro and the others..." Eminem whispered peacefully. explained once.

At this moment, an old lady who looked a little fierce opened the door and came in and said: "Yes! It must be someone from the Sarutobi family! Because when Sarutobi Yoshihiro died, there were also people left behind. He picked up a leaf, so they thought it was our Shimura family who refused to save him, so they killed Koji!"

"Mother! There is no evidence for that kind of thing..." Wei Shi wanted to stop his mother from talking, and then changed the topic and introduced: "This is the golden age of my mother. Because of Koji's death, I was a little too angry... I'm sorry."

"Who else but those monkeys could use this hatred-filled killing method?" Mori Dai scolded dissatisfiedly.

"Mother..." Wei Shi looked helpless.

"Uncle Shi, who was the first person to discover the scene?" Heiji took the time to ask.

"This is my son Akei. He is currently preparing for the annual Dragon Knight competition, so he doesn't live at home. You can go find him tomorrow." Wei Shi said and first invited Heiji and Amu to the guest room, and then I turned around to persuade my mother.

Because there were Eminem and others, there were two guest rooms, one for the girls and one for Eminem and Heiji.

After returning to the guest room, Heiji was still thinking about the case.

"That is to say, within half a year, someone from both families died, and leaves were left next to the bodies... What do these leaves refer to?" Heiji muttered in confusion.

"Could it be Konoha?" Ammu said with an idea.

"Isn't this... a bit arbitrary?" Heiji looked at Eminem helplessly.

"By the way, the dead are all heirs? Could it be that the second sons of the two families were exchanged for murder? Then the same death information was left behind, making people think it was a serial murder case, each other's alibi?" Eminem My mind opened up.

"No, no, no, you said that Sarutobi has determined that it was an accident, right? It's just a suspicion that someone is willing to die without saving anything. What's the alibi...and it can't be a dispute over inheritance rights, even though it is' Son', but the deceased Koji was actually the son-in-law of his wife, and his wife had passed away a long time ago, so there was some inheritance dispute with Uncle Shi's biological son." Heiji immediately rejected Eminem's idea.

After a pause, Heiji couldn't help but complain: "You have a perverted murderer personality, right? Why do you always think of such anti-human motives?"

"Koji is not from the Shimura family? What is his last name?" Ammu asked curiously.

"It seems like I'm going to bed..."
