Chapter 122: Mysterious Man
Because of the emergency, everyone couldn't continue to take a bath and waited until the Gunma Prefectural Police came.
There is only one rookie detective at the Gunma Prefectural Police Station temporarily, yes, it's the cowardly police officer Yamamura Cao with a sharp mouth in Conanri, a super unreliable guy who is scared to death just by seeing the corpse, but fortunately, Officer Twilight also came all the way to help send Uncle Tanaka to the Gunma Prefectural Police Station.
"I'm going to trouble you this time, Officer Twilight." Gao Cheng looked at Twilight, who took the old man into the police car, and thanked him.
"Where," Twilight said, "you've helped us so much, I'll take care of this old gentleman." ”
As he spoke, Twilight greeted Conan and Yukiko again: "Yukiko, it's really rare, anyway, every time I see Joto-kun, I think it's another son of you and Yusaku, haha." ”
"How so?" Gao Cheng touched the back of his head and smiled, "I have nothing to do with Aunt Yukiko." ”
Yukiko covered her mouth and smiled, looking at Gao Cheng with a little dangerous gaze: "Yusaku that guy ......"
"Huh." The corners of Conan's mouth twitched slightly, and he first mourned for his father for a few seconds, and by the way, he gave Gao Cheng a look.
Yukiko returned to Japan because she found out that Kudo Yusaku had lipstick on her clothes, and she was stimulated again when she was still angry......
"Huh?" Gao Cheng looked at Conan, glanced at Yukiko, felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and squeezed out a smile and didn't dare to speak again.
His parents died early, and they didn't leave much useful information, but it definitely won't have anything to do with the Kudo family, so it can only be said that it's a complete coincidence.
"Detective Joto," said Tanaka, sitting in the police car, and finally facing Gao Cheng and the others, "If I can't come back tomorrow, Carlos will attend the will presentation as my representative." ”
"I'm sure it won't be long before Uncle will be back."
Gao Chengmu sent the police car away and fell back into thought.
Although Yamamura Cao is not very reliable, the basic investigation will still work, and Machiko Yauchi's criminal plan is quickly figured out.
Not to mention the raincoat and kitchen knife, a cassette tape with a recording of the noise at the drinking party was also found on the body of Machiko Yauchi, and the car of the Yauchi family was also parked in the woods behind the house.
Obviously, Machiko Yauchi left the drinking party early and drove to the back woods, pretending to make an alibi from the scene of the drinking party, but he secretly sneaked into the bathhouse and planned to murder the "Yauchi Yoshibo".
That's probably what happened.,In short, the premeditated murder of Machiko Yamani is true.,It's just that he was killed by the old man in the end.。
No matter how perfect the murder plan is, the difference in strength makes everything seem a little ridiculous......
However, there are two intimidators, and even if Machiko Yauchi is one of them, there is still one person left who is hiding in the dark, and it is not known what will happen until the will is officially announced.
Gao Cheng had all the parties to this inheritance in his mind.
Hiromi Yauchi, who invited an old friend to come over with Kiko, and her husband, and then Yoshiyuki Yauchi and his wife, all four of them are possible.
No, there's a suspicious guy.
Ever since before, he had always felt as if someone was watching in the shadows.
"It's so late," Hiromi Yauchi replied to Shinto, "Now that the bath water is cold, do you want me to ......burn it again?"
Yoshiyuki Yamanai muttered: "Please, sister, the second mother died there, who would dare to take a bath?" ”
"That's right......" Hiromi Yauchi was stunned for a moment, and was about to follow back to the room, when she suddenly looked at the back door and exclaimed, "Ah! There...... There seems to be a man in sunglasses at the back door! ”
"What?" Everyone walked to the door, there was nothing behind the slightly open wooden door, and there was only a cold and silent open space outside.
"Could it be wrong? Probably just who forgot to close the door ......"
"No, I saw it too!" Conan followed solemnly and said, "There was a suspicious figure peeking at the back door just now!" ”
"Could it be that person?" The faces of everyone in the Yamani family suddenly turned ugly.
"That person?" Gao Cheng's interest was raised.
"It's my mother's brother who died fifteen years ago," Yoshiyuki Yauchi looked at the ancient well and the camellia tree by the back door with a calm face, "My mother accidentally fell into this well in order to pick the camellia on that tree, although it was just an accident, but my mother's brother always thought that someone pushed her down......"
Gao Cheng walked to the ancient well with a wooden fence: "But will this really fall?" ”
"We added these fences later," Yoshiyuki Yauchi said through gritted teeth, "If it were him, would the inheritance also be given to him?" ”
"According to the law, he shouldn't have the right to inherit, right?"
"But what if Dad mentions him in his will?"
Yoshiyuki Yauchi was in a bad mood: "I'm going back to sleep." ”
Gao Cheng silently watched as everyone returned to the room one after another, turned to Carlos next to him and said, "Carlos, you can stay with me for the time being." ”
The tall Carlos didn't react, just glanced at Gao Cheng with a slight puzzlement, and honestly straightened his chest.
"I almost forgot that you only understand Portuguese......"
Gao Cheng has a headache and holds his forehead, he is not even very good at English, where can he speak Portuguese?
He didn't even know why Brazilians spoke Portuguese......
However, it seems that Uncle Tanaka seems to have confessed to Carlos when he left, and although the young Brazilian did not understand his words, he still followed him like a bodyguard.
"Huh?"
Gao Cheng took a step, and suddenly squatted down by the back door and picked up a cigarette butt from among the fallen leaves.
It should be the one Mrs. Hiromi saw......
I don't know if it's the person fifteen years ago, but if he received a threatening letter like an old man, it's understandable to hide his whereabouts.
It's just that......
Putting away the cigarette butt, Gao Cheng turned his eyes to the warehouse opposite, and found that the door outside the warehouse was actually open.
He did feel a sight before, it shouldn't feel that simple, could it be a private detective?
Gao Cheng took Carlos into the warehouse and immediately found the place where the air letters were stored.
"Gone?!"
Looking at the empty dark grid, Gao Cheng's eyes condensed slightly.
If it was Mrs. Yasone's brother fifteen years ago, would there be a reason why he would take the airmail without permission like this?
Gao Cheng turned around and looked around the warehouse again, and found a small amount of soot on the floor by the light.
Obviously, the other party has been in the warehouse for a long time, and it should be after he investigates in the warehouse......
At dawn the next day, Gao Cheng had an extra wooden knife in his hand when he reappeared outside.
Although the Yamanai family are ordinary people, he still took out Lake Toya in advance just in case, and no one else knows what he brought with him on the locomotive anyway.
"Huh? It's Lake Toya......" Conan looked at the wooden knife suspiciously, but didn't ask much, just looked at Carlos, who was like a bodyguard behind him, and muttered, "Sure enough, Mr. Yoshibo came to you." ”
There is nothing to hide from Conan until now, Gao Cheng chuckled: "No way, because several people in this family sent threatening letters, so I helped come over to investigate." ”
"How many?" Conan was surprised, "Isn't it just Mrs. Machiko?" ”
"That's right," Gao Cheng looked at the people of the Yamanai family gathered on the other side, "There is still one of these people who is making up their minds, and it is hard to say whether it will be silenced because of the incident of Mrs. Machiko last night, I hope there will be no more incidents." ”
Until the arrival of the lawyer who announced the will in the evening, the Yamanai family was quite calm, and it seemed that the intimidators were really frightened by the death of Mrs. Machiko, and in the middle Takasei entered the warehouse again, and through the faint smell of smoke in the air, he found that someone was staying on the beams of the house, but it was not broken.
Under Carlos's puzzled gaze, Gao Cheng gently closed the warehouse door and waited in the bedroom with a calm face.
When it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, because of the help of Officer Twilight, Uncle Tanaka also rushed back to Yamanai's house in time and went to the Buddhist hall with everyone to participate in the publication of the will.
"Thank you for your hard work, Detective Joto." The old man still didn't reveal his true identity, and after nodding to Gao Cheng, he walked into the Buddhist hall with Carlos.
Because the old man was an elder, he was arranged to sit at the long table in the Buddhist hall, while Gao Cheng and Conan were arranged to sit on a few futons on the side.
