Absolutely true, but case 1 is included in case 2.

Erasing the first four rows  and the words "case 2" does not affect the validity of your proof.

Your solution boils down to a shorter text:

In a row of 18 consecutive numbers  two are divisible by 9:
one is an even multiple and the other is odd.
Both 2 and 9 divide the even one.


q.e.d.
