Chapter Ninety-Six: The Real Winner
"Mrs. Keiko! Looks like you're familiar with this thing, huh? How? Would you like to explain why you made this thing and who it's going to shoot at today? After playing with the timed crossbow in his hand, Yuichi set his eyes on Keiko Yauchi, who was sitting on the ground with a smile on his face.
In fact, he was quite surprised by this result, he had always felt that the abnormal performance of Yauchi Yoshiyuki might be the most suspicious, but he didn't expect that it was Keiko Yauchi who finally spoke in the Buddhist hall. This glowing crossbow was actually made by her, and Yuichi, who was unexpectedly intrigued, of course wanted to know the reason why Keiko Yauchi did this, although he had already guessed in his heart.
"I don't want to kill! I just wanted to scare the old guy who came back from Brazil before the will was announced! Let him retreat and leave the Yamani family! I owe a loan shark on my back outside, and all my hopes are pinned on this inheritance, and if I don't get too much share, then my future life with Yixing will be over! I really didn't think about killing anyone! In order to avoid hurting people, I also experimented several times in advance, which can also be seen in the meditation room next door. If you don't believe me, take me away! ”
"Nope! Keiko! No! Why are you so stupid? Do you really think I don't know? I am so desperate for my father's inheritance for you! The share we got between the two of us is enough for you to repay the loan shark! Why are you doing such a stupid thing? Hearing Keiko's confession, Yoshiyuki Yamanai closed his eyes in pain, and muttered subconsciously in his mouth.
However, Yuichi, who got the answer, was not interested in this kind of emotional drama, and after giving Yamamura Cao a look at yourself, he retreated to the wall with the crossbow in his hand, waiting for the end of this farce.
"My will is to divide all my property into six parts, leaving to my eldest daughter Hiromi Yauchi and her husband Hidekazu Yabuchi, my second son Yoshiyuki Yauchi and his wife Keiko Yauchi, my step-room Machiko Yauchi, and the children of my younger brother Yoshibo...... Carlos! Whether they were present on the day or not, the will was valid, and it was said before that those who announced that they would not be present today would not get the inheritance, just so that someone could come to handle my funeral after my death and let Hiromi and them get to know Carlos......"
Just when Yoshiyuki was in front of Keiko and desperately explained to Yamamura, the will that was put in the tape recorder by the lawyer was slowly played. And everyone who heard this will quietly closed their mouths, quietly listening to the judgment of the culprit who caused so much grief against himself and others, especially when they heard the name Carlos, Hiromi Yauchi and the others looked like they had seen a ghost, which made Yuichi almost laugh.
"In the end, it wasn't Uncle Yifang, but his son Carlos? So who is this Uncle Yifang? ”
"I'm a partner and friend of Yoshibo Yamani in Brazil, Hickson Tanaka! Your Uncle Yifang has died, and was supposed to let Carlos come back alone. But before coming here, we unfortunately received threatening letters from Ms. Machiko and Ms. Keiko, and I was worried that Carlos was in danger, and it took me a long time to think of this method of pretending to be a Yamani! So if I bother you, then I'm sorry for causing you any trouble! Officer Yamamura, I'll take notes with you in a moment! Seeing that Yuichi had arrested another person who had mailed a threatening letter, Mr. Tanaka, who was completely relieved about Carlos' safety, finally stood up in front of everyone's eyes, and after explaining everything, he explained to Carlos, who was full of anxiety on the side, after all, Carlos, who had lived in Brazil since he was a child, did not understand Japanese.
"The people who mailed the threatening letter were my aunt and Keiko? The real reason for my aunt's death yesterday? ”
"Murder Mr. Tanaka who was taking a bath, but I didn't expect Mr. Tanaka to have a good hand in Brazilian judo! So Gank was killed instead of succeeding, it's that simple. Mr. Tanaka is probably justified in self-defense! This is also the reason why we couldn't figure out why Machiko Yauchi wanted to cover for the murderer, because she was originally going to make a certificate of her absence to clear the fact that she killed Mr. Tanaka, but it's a pity! Facing Yoshiyuki Yauchi and others, who were already completely confused, Yuichi, who was leaning against the wall to watch the play, had to come out again to attract a wave of attention and explain to everyone the truth he had found.
"So that's it? And what about the mysterious man I saw yesterday? Isn't it my uncle? Or who hired a private investigator? Righteous deeds! Did you hire a detective? After digesting the explosive news, Hiromi Yauchi seemed to think of something and asked.
"The mystery man? That's me! And I'm not a private detective, just a novelist! I'm not here to solve crimes, I just want to get my beloved back! Before Yuichi could explain, the door of the Buddhist hall suddenly opened, and Yusaku Kudo, who had taken off his sunglasses, walked in with a pretended face.
"Daddy?"
"Humph! Who is your love? Who else said they were going back with you? ”
Faced with the strange reactions of Conan and Yukiko, Yusaku Kudo smiled and did not explain, but took out what he found in the warehouse yesterday.
"These are all the correspondence between Mr. Yamanai and Mr. Yoshibo during his lifetime, and it is clear that none of you people ever cared about him! If you had paid more attention to him, maybe there wouldn't have been so many things happening! The truth you want is in it! Hehe! Conan, you haven't done enough! Compared to Yuichi's control of the case, you are obviously still a little immature. The most obvious is that the left-handed man who plays baseball uses his left foot to step on the base, how could Mr. Yifang's wound reach his right foot? Not to mention the child's words that you can know when you see those letters, but I knew that Mr. Tanaka was a fake before I read the letters! All right! There is Kiko! It's time for us to go home! ”
Ignoring Conan, who was unconvinced after he messed in, and after teaching his son to be a man by slapping his face every day, and establishing his prestige as a father, Yusaku Kudo magically threw the helmet when Kiko came to her, turned around and walked out the door.
"Who's going home with you? Really! So domineering every time! Although his mouth was full of dissatisfaction, his body was still very honest, and Yukiko subconsciously took the helmet and followed with her own steps.
"It's over! The cold and depressing environment without family affection in this ancestral house is really not suitable for me, Conan, let's go! After handing over the crossbow in his hand to the Gunma Prefectural Police on the side, Yuichi, who had said hello to Yamamura, left the temple with Conan, who had been hit.
But the moment he turned around, Yuichi, who was originally indifferent, suddenly smiled bitterly. Since the late Mr. Yauchi said in his will that the family is about the family's affection, does Hiromi Yauchi, who showed so much consideration for family affection in front of them before, really care about family affection as much as she showed? Why did Machiko Yauchi and Keiko Yauchi think of mailing threatening letters at the same time? And after Yamani Yifang insisted on coming back despite the threat, the two of them chose this kind of excesses, is there a pair of big hands behind the scenes to manipulate all this? The situation is obviously not as simple as it seems.
Yuichi, who figured all this, stood in place and turned to look back, although there was no evidence for all this, and there would be no evidence left in the other party's way, but Yuichi, who was uncomfortable, couldn't help but speak.
"Sure enough, you can't underestimate anyone in this world, Aunt Hiromi Yamanuchi, you are the real winner in this game!"
