Chapter 141: The Daughter of the Akiyoshi Family
"I think Mrs. Miji should have the habit of drinking hot spring water in normal times."
After Qian Chun and Tian Ling glanced at each other, they nodded, "Yes, they are indeed drinking." β
"If you say it's good for your health, you drink it every day." Tian Ling added.
Alkaline hot springs have the same effect as soap.
Because it breaks down sebum and protein, it dissolves old keratin and makes the skin smoother.
Not only that, but by taking advantage of the effects of the hot springs, you can also remove fingerprints.
King Kong gestured and said, "So, did the prisoner use the hot spring water in order to erase the fingerprints on the murder weapon?" β
"No, it's not."
Conan shook his head, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to just take the vase away?" β
And the person who made this move was not the murderer, but Miki Iya.
She was well aware of the effects of hot springs, so she erased the fingerprints of prisoners before she died.
Another problem in the first case was the brand-new belt in the wooden box.
The proprietress wears a kimono every day, and it's really not a strange thing to have an obi belt.
But Miki Itani has an old belt tied around her waist, and the belt she has in the closet is also old.
"So, what's the deal with that brand new belt?"
"yes, why is the new one in the box?"
Faced with Masaya Taniguchi and Chiharu's questions, Conan pretended to ponder.
"This is a gift!"
Qinghai Chuantang raised his hand, indicating that he agreed with his reasoning.
Miki Itani wanted to choose an heir, and the belt was given to the heir as a token of identity for the boss.
"But isn't it strange to give Mr. Samura, who is a man, a belt?"
"Yes, isn't it clearly written in the will that the inn passed it on to Mr. Samura?"
In the face of everyone's questions, the answer is actually obvious.
"That will, it's fake."
Everyone was shocked and said in unison, "Fake? β
Tian Ling was a little puzzled, "However, the words written by the proprietress in the account books, letters, and menus are the same as the words on the will, right?" β
"Of course! After all, those words on it were not written by Mrs. Meiji. β
"Huh?"
Maybe from a certain period of time, please leave it to someone else.
The reason for this conclusion is that the pickled mackerel has become mackerel miso soup.
Miki Iya has been writing her own menu for a week.
However, after the death of Miki Itani, the pickled mackerel on the menu became mackerel miso soup.
It is impossible to rewrite the menu of people who have passed away.
In other words, the handwriting of the proprietress who has undergone handwriting appraisal is actually written by someone else.
"But why did it become mackerel miso soup?"
"That's because the prisoner used something."
"Something?"
"It's turnip puree!"
Assassinated Samura's prisoner and splashed a little blood on the other side.
So, in order to get rid of the blood scale, the prisoners wrapped the radish puree that Samura had prepared and used in pickled mackerel in a cloth.
Then use the juice squeezed out of the radish puree to wipe off the blood that has been spilled.
Radish contains amylase, which breaks down blood, and has been used to remove blood scale.
However, after the blood stain was removed, the prisoner realized that the turnip was gone.
It is not normal for pickled mackerel to have no radish puree in it.
In this way, the fact that the prisoner used the turnip may be discovered.
So, the prisoners added sake, sugar, cooking wine, soy sauce, and miso to the pot to create the illusion that they were making mackerel miso soup.
In the end, the prisoner rewrote the menu.
"However, there should have been a lot of radishes."
Thanks to someone's gift, there is not much left.
Conan silently looked at Qinghai Chuantang, and his eyes became very resentful.
"So, who is the prisoner?"
Conan didn't speak, silently looking ahead.
Wen Yue looked at both sides, and pointed at herself in some surprise.
After Qinghai Chuantang walked over and gently pulled it away, the true face of the prisoner was finally exposed to everyone.
"Removing stains with turnip puree is something the hostess teaches you. Unexpectedly, it invisibly forced you into a desperate situation. β
"How so?"
Naoko couldn't help but feel a little nervous as she looked at the person who slowly walked in front of her.
But he still quibbled: "The proprietress is indeed strict with me." But there's no way I'm going to kill her. β
"Your hatred for her must be more than that. Miss Naoko, you were kicked out of this inn, the daughter of the Akiyoshi family, right? β
Ji Ha showed an incredulous expression, "How could you, you actually"
"She's everyone's best girl?"
"Impossible, right?"
Qianchun and Tian Ling looked at each other and said one by one.
The reason why Qinghai Kagonito paid attention to this is because the mountain and river pickles made by the other party are famous dishes in the Ibusuki area of Kagoshima Prefecture.
On the other hand, the old lady's hometown is Kagoshima.
"It is said that the daughter of the Akiyoshi family has a birthmark in the shape of a turtle on her shoulder."
In order to verify this fact, Chiharu and Tian Ling ran behind her, opened it and took a look, and sure enough, there was a birthmark as she said.
"Miss Zhu Hui"
Ji He's face was surprised and shocked, and there was a hint of uncertainty, "Did you run away with the old lady, Miss Zhu Hui?" β
Naoko was silent for a moment.
"Grandma often says"
You should have been the proprietress of a famous hotel. That woman, Miji, lied to your father, ruined everything, and robbed the Akiyoshi family's hotel.
Zhu Hui, in the future, you must take back the hotel from that woman.
As she was dying, the old lady said these words again at the end, and then handed her a small judgment.
"So, I came to Ryugu Onsen in order to retake the inn."
"In search of the truth, I started working in the store. But for some unknown reason the man set his eyes on me, and called me like a subordinate. β
When I came to my senses, the management of the account books and the writing of the menu were all in my hands.
On the night that Miki Iya was killed, Naoko was called to the warehouse by her.
"I've decided, pass on this hotel to my daughter."
As she spoke, Miki Itani opened the wooden box.
"Why did you tell me?"
"Once, there was a useless man who ruined the hotel. This time, you have to choose well. β
"Useless people?"
Miki Iya got up from the couch and said, "There's a stupid man who died for some frivolous thing, it's stupid. β
After finishing speaking, she threw the small judgment in her hand casually, and happened to throw it under the wooden frame.
"But the truly stupid people can't take care of an only daughter like you, your parents."
Miki Iya looked at her and said, "You're Zhuhui, right?" β
At that moment, the identity was revealed, and everything before seemed to be answered.
Naoko, who was seen through the origin, was too scared and too angry.
Looking at the vase on the side, impulse finally triumphed over reason.
While the other party was sitting on the couch with his back to him, he picked up the vase on the table and smashed it at her.
After doing all this, it seemed that he heard something, and he thought that someone was coming, so he hurriedly threw down the vase and fled.
It was only later that I realized that there were fingerprints on the vase.
"When I got back to the warehouse to get the vase, I don't know why the door was closed. Then, Samura walked over. β
threaten her with the fact that he saw her killing.
Samura knew that she was usually writing the menu, so he asked her to forge a suicide note.
As a result, Samura became the heir.
"Then why kill him?"
Naoko turned around slowly, "To protect the inn." β
When she asked what she would do with the hotel in the future, she replied, "Completely destroyed and turned into a waste disposal area." There are acquaintances looking for a new scrap disposal area, which is much more profitable than running a hotel. β
"How can this be!"
"Don't worry, I won't expose what you did."
Samura slowly walked to her side, and then reached out and put his hand around her shoulder, "It's just that you will serve me for the rest of your life like a boss lady's subordinate in the future." β
After saying that, Samura laughed a few times.
Reaching out and patting her on the shoulder, he continued to wipe the turnip puree.
Naoko stared at him, and suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, grabbed the handkerchief and knife on the stage, and stabbed him.
Her hands and sleeves were also splattered with blood.
"The gold coin that fell in the kitchen is a relic given to you by the old lady, right?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to set it up like the scene when the boss lady was killed, so that people think it's a curse of gold coins?"
Naoko nodded.
King Kong still wonders, "So, why do you say to Miss Taniguchi?" β
"I heard the conversation between Chiharu and Rei Tian"
Sold the inn for money, or did you run the cursed inn for the rest of your life?
So, in order to prevent the sale of the inn, Naoko attacked Masaya Taniguchi.
The aim is to scare the other party into thinking that it is a curse of the inn.
"I absolutely can't, lose this property. One day I will get it back, but the regret of my family. β
"Is your hatred really right?"
Naoko looked at Qinghai Chuantang, as if puzzled.
"Have you looked at that belt carefully?"
"Belt?"
Kimonos are worn in season.
In particular, the obi is as important as the faΓ§ade of the kimono.
For the new belt of the heir, the pattern is a white camellia.
In the confinement room, Qinghai Chuantang and others saw that the photo of Naoko when he was born, and the white flower behind it was also the white camellia.
"In other words, Mrs. Miji actually wants to hand over the belt and the position of the proprietress to Miss Naoko?"
Such a turn of events made Xiaolan feel a little surprised.
"How is that possible?"
Naoko was the first to express disbelief.
Then, Yoshikawa also expressed his opinion, shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Miji hates the Akiyoshi family, since she knows her identity, how can she choose her as the heir? β
"Moreover, in order to protect Naoko, it is also unusual to erase fingerprints and create secret rooms, right?"
Masaya Taniguchi looked puzzled.
"Because, Miss Naoko is the child of Mrs. Miji."
At first, Takushi Akiyoshino had a relationship with Miki Itani, and then she became pregnant.
But all this angered the old lady.
After the child was born, he took him away and drove Miki Igu out.
"How can you stop talking nonsense!"
Obviously, because they were too shocked, the other party did not want to accept and believe this fact.
In fact, the answer to everything is hidden in the real suicide note.
There are tear stains in the corners of Itani's eyes.
When the body was found, the face was facing up. The direction of the tears is to the left.
That is, before she died, she turned to the left and shed tears.
The crowd came to the warehouse.
"To the left of the body, as far as the eye can see, there must be something important."
And in that direction, there is a bronze statue.
