A Little Detective
A week ago, my son found a Mochi box was empty, and he tried to find who ate that Mochi.
“Grandma, did you eat Mochi?” he asked his grandmother.
“No, I didn’t,” she replied.
“Great grandma, did you eat Mochi?” he asked his great-grandmother.
“No, I didn’t,” she replied.
“Grandpa, did you eat Mochi?” he asked his grandfather.
“No, I didn’t,” he replied.
I told my son that someone told a lie to you.
Then, my son thought seriously and said, “I may tell a lie...”
Everyone laughed so much!
Finally my son somehow found his grandpa ate that Mochi.
一週間前、私の息子はお餅の箱が空っぽになっているのを見つけ、誰が食べたのかを見つけようとしました。「おばあちゃん、お餅食べた？」と祖母に聞きました。「食べてないよ」と答えました。「ひいおばあちゃん、お餅食べた？」と曽祖母に聞きました。「食べてないよ」と答えました。「おじいちゃん、お餅食べた？」と祖父に聞きました。「食べてないよ」と答えました。私は、誰かが嘘をついていることを息子に教えました。すると、息子は考え込んで、「僕が嘘をついてるのかな…」と言いました。みんなは大笑い！ついに、どうにかこうにか息子は祖父がそのお餅を食べたと分かりました。

A week ago, my son found a Mmochi box that was empty, and he tried to find who ate that M(all) the mochi.
or "... my son found an empty mochi box..." if you want to avoid saying "that". You can omit the subject after "and" if the subject hasn't changed. I don't know if there are multiple mochi in one box or just one. If there is just one in a box, you can say "that mochi" but if there's more than one in a box then you should use "the". "Those" doesn't quite work here.
“Grandma, did you eat Mthe mochi?” he asked his grandmother. “No, I didn’t,” she replied.
Without the article, I expect the sentence to be habitual. "Grandma, did you eat mochi when you were younger?" But because a specific 'crime' has been committed, you should use the article.
“Great -grandma, did you eat Mthe mochi?” he asked his great-grandmother. “No, I didn’t,” she replied.
“Grandpa, did you eat the Mochi?” he asked his grandfather. “No, I didn’t,” he replied.
I told my son that someone told him a lie/lied to youhim.
or, "I told my son, 'someone lied to you'."
Then, my son thought seriously and said, “I may tell a lie...”. Everyone laughed so much! Finally, my son somehow found out his grandpa had eaten thate Mochi.
I don't quite understand what your son means by "I may tell a lie..." but it might just be lost in translation. "Had eaten" sounds better to me but "ate" is also fine.

Nice job with the dialogue! Your son certainly sounds like the next great detective! I hope he continues to be so curious :)

This final "Mochi" should also be lower case ("mochi")

Thank you for the correction!
It’s still so difficult to me to describe conversations in English, so I learned a lot!

Well, my son doesn’t understand what lie is. So he didn’t understand what I meant either. Lol
He just heard “someone” and “lie”, and he simply thought “oh, it’s about ME!” Lol
This is how 4-year-old boy thinks and does everyday. :)

A week ago, my son found athe Mochi box was empty, and he tried to find out who ate thate Mochi.
'That mochi' implies like there was one mochi that he is trying to find out about specifically, not who ate all the mochi in the box.
“Grandma, did you eat Mochi?” he asked his grandmother.“No, I didn’t,” she replied.
“Great -grandma, did you eat Mochi?” he asked his great-grandmother.“No, I didn’t,” she replied.
“Grandpa, did you eat Mochi?” he asked his grandfather.“No, I didn’t,” he replied.
I told my son that s"Someone told a lied to you."
It looks like you tried to combine 'I told my son "someone lied to you" ' and 'I told my son that someone told him a lie.' The first sounds more natural to me.
Then, my son thought seriouslyhard for a second and said, “I may tell a lie...” Everyone laughed so much!Fin¶
Eventually my son somehow found his grandpa ate thate Mochi.

Thank you for the correction!
This was really adorable memory to me.😂💕
He doesn’t understand what lie is completely.
It’s really a surprising thing but he actually knew his grandpa ate the Mochi!
I guess his sixth sense sometimes works. Lol
