第1132話: 円谷光彦の探偵ノート 3

1132

Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta happen to witness a quarrel taking place in front of an elderly actor selection venue, where two retired brothers, named Makio Yuida and Kozo Yuida respectively, were involved. To ascertain further details, the three Detective Boys visit Kozo and learn that Kozo was chosen to be the elderly actor immediately, which aroused Mitsuhiko to share some Sherlock Holmes "canon". He tells Kozo about the short story titled The Red-Headed League. Accordingly, he suspects Kozo might be drawn into a gigantic fraud, which is similar to the Sherlock Holmes story. However, as they arrived at Kozo's home, nothing out of the ordinary was noticed. Kozo mentioned that he and his brother each had a teapot inherited from their father. Recently he received a letter expressing his desire to purchase both their teapots. Soon, Mitsuhiko noticed something odd in the letter: even though the return address was written to be in Kyoto, the post stamp was clearly from Tokyo. (Source: DCW WIki)
