Chapter 237: The Cruel Truth
"Am I right? Mr. Taylor! After all, there is a lot of friction and resistance in these arrangements, and there is no absolute certainty that this last step can be completed by manpower alone! After all, you have to tear off the nails fixed to the four corners of the window in one go, this kind of huge power is not something that can be done by one person, so you who drove Xiaolan and the others to the grave at that time became the only one who could complete this murder! β
After saying all the reasoning process about this case, Yuichi looked at Rob Taylor standing in the house with a confident face, although it was pouring rain behind Yuichi standing outside the house at the moment, but this background seemed to be more suitable for Rob Taylor, his face was hard to see, he gritted his teeth and chose to be stubborn to the end.
"Officer Yuichi! It's all just your reasoning! What if I find a replica gun and a stunner in my backpack? That's just a tool for me to defend myself against danger in the forest! And to some people with ulterior motives to steal them and do these things? And you also describe the process of my killing of Mr. Shinichi quite vaguely, I don't want to say anything more about the reasoning process, just say a little! You say that I lured Mr. Shinichi to the warehouse with some conditions and designed this trap to kill him! So what are the conditions? You can't just arrest me on such a trumped-up charge, can you? I have to warn you. Officer Yuichi, I'm an American! β
Just when Rob Taylor saw that he said this, the somewhat silent Yuichi showed a triumphant smile, and suddenly Heiji's somewhat angry voice came from the corner of the room.
"Why? Very simple! Because you've discovered the secret of Mr. Shinichi's drug trafficking! Just when you came to Takeda's house the other day and met Mr. Negishi. The tools of drug trafficking are these puppets made by Mr. Shinichi! When we talked to Mr. Yongsan just now, I thought it was strange, Mr. Yongsan said that his eldest brother would earn 1 million yuan for making a puppet, and repairing a puppet would earn 700,000 yuan, and this outrageous price, someone actually took the puppet back and asked him to repair it more than a dozen times. It just so happened that on the day of Mr. Negishi's death, the puppets he was going to take away were piled up in Mr. Shinichi's studio, and we randomly opened one and found the drugs inside. And Mr. Yuzo also said a very important thing, after Mr. Negishi died, his eldest brother found out that there was a puppet missing, and customers kept calling to ask for it, and Mr. Shinichi, who had no choice, worked overtime to make up for it again in the past few days. And this is also the reason why after Mr. Negishi's death, Mr. Shinichi did not call the police but asked Uncle Mori, a detective, to investigate! β
"Mr. Taylor! You can't find that puppet in your luggage, and someone put it in for you, right? If you do that again, I think I need to take your fingerprints! This is also to restore your innocence as an American, don't you think? β
In the face of Yuichi and Heiji's forced palace, Rob Taylor, who was still stubborn, finally fell silent, and at this moment, Ms. Yoko, who heard the movement outside, also came here with two unquiet imps.
After seeing that everyone was targeting Rob Taylor, Sae and Emi, who were huddled behind Ms. Yoko, secretly chatted.
"Sure enough, Taylor is the murderer!"
"Uh-huh! That's him! If it weren't for him, Sister Misa wouldn't have died! It's all him! β
Conan, who was also standing in the crowd, heard the discussion between the two and felt that the twins must know something, so he secretly leaned over and used the appearance of his peers to smile almost closely.
"That! Shae, Emi, you just said bad things about Mr. Taylor, is it because he has offended you in any way? β
"Huh? Nope! β
"Then you say Mr. Taylor is the murderer!"
"There's a reason for that! On the day Rob was going back, Sister Misa asked us to ask Rob what he wanted, and after taking the candy, we went to the bus stop to find Rob and asked him what he thought of Sister Misa. β
"I didn't expect it! Rob, he actually wrote such an excessive word! β
"Excessive?"
Conan, who had already vaguely sensed from these things that there might be some strange factors brewing in Misa and Rob Taylor, immediately asked curiously.
"That's right! Very excessive! He actually wrote that Sister Misa was going to die! β
"Huh? Tell Miss Misa to die? β
Conan, who felt that this unfolding was not a routine from what he had just thought in his head, suddenly stopped in place and asked a little flurgingly.
"That's right! Isn't that excessive, you say? β
Just when Conan looked at Shae and Emi with a face full of righteous indignation, he didn't know whether to believe it or not. Mrs. Yoko, who was listening to their chat, didn't bother to ask what was going on, and looked down and touched Shae's head to explain to Conan.
"Little brother, don't take it personally! They must have read it wrong! I don't know exactly what happened, but I still believe that Rob wasn't that bad! I shouldn't have shown them that business card, if I didn't have that business card, they wouldn't have such a big opinion of Rob! β
"Business card?"
Conan, who felt that he had found an important clue, immediately asked, and Mrs. Yoko, who regarded Conan as a very curious child, didn't think much about it and took out the business card in her wallet that they had seen.
"This is it! Because of this business card, the two of them have been in trouble for a long time! Keep asking me, whose is this? Where is this person? β
"Akio Negishi, Negishi humanoid shop?"
Conan, who took this business card, was also surprised when he saw the contents of it, because it was really Mr. Negishi, who was killed by Taylor here a few days ago.
Just when Conan was looking at the business card and thinking about it, Heiji, who saw Taylor's silence on the other side, was not so quiet, and after rushing in front of Rob Taylor with an arrow, Heiji gritted his teeth and roared.
"Why do you want to kill Mr. Negishi, who has nothing to do with you, and hurt Kazuha and Xiaolan, who have nothing to do with you? They didn't hurt you, Miss Misa! β
"Hahaha! Why? Why, you ask? A few days ago, when I came here, I happened to meet Mr. Negishi, who had just taken drugs, and when he was empty-eyed, he actually smiled and told me when I asked Misa if she was not at home, and said that Misa hanged herself after I went back, saying that Mr. Shinichi forced her to die! β
"I can't help it! After all, it's not your own! The face is disfigured again, no one dares to ask for this kind of girl, and it is not interesting to live, it is better to die! It's good for her and good for everyone else when it's dead! β
"That bastard actually told me that, because Misa's English is not good, I have been studying Japanese reading and writing desperately for the past three years, and I finally succeeded in learning, and I was able to explain my mind to her in person, but I didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, she died! Akio Negishi, who dares to choreograph beautiful yarn like this, do you think you should die? β
"As for Kazuha and Xiaolan? Hahaha! Anyway, I don't care who I'm going to hurt or who I'm going to suspect! For the other family members who couldn't be saved when she died, I was originally going to prepare to solve them all one by one! If it weren't for the sudden killing of a policeman, I would have made sure that there was no living person in the Spider Mansion that watched Misa die today! In that case, what is the explanation for killing a few passers-by who have nothing to do with it? β
"You bastard!"
Conan, who was originally huddled in the crowd, finally couldn't hold back anymore when he heard Rob Taylor say such words of disregard for life.
"Originally, I didn't want to say it, but since you said so, I think I'd tell you! Miss Misa, who was mentally unstable at the time, will talk to you in romanization about the real reason for her suicide, which may be because...... shineοΌ You wrote that word at the time, right? Mr. Taylor! β
"That's right! What's wrong? I think Misa is the most sparkling bride I'm looking for! I used the word Shine to imply that something was wrong with her? β
"Hahaha! But you know what? In Japanese, the pronunciation of "death" is exactly the same as the romanization of shine, so when you hand this note to Miss Misa, you become the culprit of the last glimmer of hope that ignited after meeting you in her originally gloomy life! Feeling that she had nothing to love, she chose to end her young life in the warehouse where you killed Mr. Shinichi! β
"And Mrs. Kinyo, who later learned of her death, didn't know about the things between Miss Misa and you, and subconsciously Miss Misa chose to commit suicide because the pain brought to her by Mr. Shinichi was unbearable, so she finally overwhelmed herself with her guilt, and chose the same way of death where her daughter died, wanting to compensate for her poor daughter! In other words, among the murderers who caused so many tragedies in this Spider Mansion, you Rob Taylor are the ones who are the most guilty, and at this moment, you are still saying that you want to avenge Misa and kill everyone here? It's ridiculous! β
"Nope! This is not true! This is not true! This is not true! Hahaha! β
"Why am I not Japanese? Why isn't she American? β
"Why am I not Japanese? Why isn't she an American......"
Although he tried his best to deny the cruel truth that Conan said, Rob Taylor, who had slipped powerlessly from Heiji's hands and fell to the ground, no longer had the madness he had just now, and all that was left was like a malfunctioning puppet, repeating the sentence why he was not Japanese.
Conan, who saw him like this, finally woke up from his anger, and remembered the tragedy that Yuichi told him about the last voluntary death in the fire in order to atone for his sins, and Conan's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of guilt.
And just as he was about to say something to make amends, Yuichi, who was still standing in front just now, didn't know when he had come to his side, touching his head and comforting him.
"Let's go see Xiaolan! I think the one she wants to see most at the moment is you! Leave the matter to me! β
Conan, who heard Yuichi's arrangement, may have been out of guilt in his conscience, and he didn't dare to face Rob Taylor, he subconsciously nodded and escaped, and Rob Taylor, who was hit by him to a little collapse, was also tied up by Takeda Ryuji and Takeda Yuzo.
The next day, when Ran and Kazuha recovered, they watched the Tottori Prefectural Police Department take Rob Taylor away, and followed Mori Kogoro, who had slept on the cold floor of the warehouse against the box and had a crooked neck, leaving this sad place.
