The people who had gathered on the deck quickly dispersed and went about their own business.

And Xia Jiang gave a general overview of his family situation, so that Kogoro and the others had a clearer understanding.

At the same time, Xia Jiang also expressed his previous doubts. "Mr. Maori, did you know my grandfather before?"

Not only Xia Jiang, but Xiaolan and Conan also looked at Kogoro expectantly. "Well, it's Mr. Hao Zang who has dealt with him a few times before."

"So, can you take the liberty of asking what it is?" "Yes, Daddy! I haven't heard you say anything about it before! ”

Facing the expectant and curious eyes of the two beautiful girls, Kogoro did not hide it. "I met at a drinking party last year."

"Drinking party!?" "Well, it was a drinking party held by the Suzuki family, and most of the famous businessmen in Tokyo attended."

"Then Dad, what are you doing?" After hearing this, Xiaolan became even more curious, how could Kogoro, as a detective, go to a businessman's drinking party.

"Well, didn't I make some money in the stock market in the first two years, so I invested in a few companies, and one of them happened to have business dealings with Qiben's family."

Although he said it lightly, Conan clearly knew that it was not simple.

From Xia Jiang's introduction before, he learned that the Qiben Consortium is not a small family and has many assets.

And how much net worth will Kogoro, who can make the Flag Collection with such assets, treat it so carefully!?

"I see! But Dad, why haven't you said this before!? Xiaolan's face was extremely gloomy at this time.

Kogoro, who was frightened, immediately apologized and made many promises to suppress his daughter's anger.

At this moment, Kenji Suzuki, the housekeeper of the Flag House, came over to inform them that it was time for dinner.

After entering the restaurant, Kogoro and Xia Jiang sat together. As soon as she sat down, Xiaolan's eyes swept around.

Then she asked strangely. "Hey, where's Mr. Xiao Wu?" "Grandpa went to talk to him, why hasn't he come back until now?"

was reminded by Xiaolan, Xia Jiang was also puzzled. She looked towards the passageway, and a familiar figure immediately caught her eye.

The person who came was Xiao Wu, he lowered his head slightly, his face was gloomy, and he seemed to be seriously thinking about something.

Xia Jiang stood up from his position and walked quickly to him. "Xiao Wu, why are you only here now!?" "Ah, I'm sorry!"

He replied casually, although Xia Jiang was still puzzled, but he saw that Kogoro and the three were behind him, so he didn't ask.

On the other side, the housekeeper Kenji Suzuki came to the room of the Flag Collection. He knocked lightly on the door, but after shouting a few times, he received no answer.

Although he was a little strange, he didn't care at the time. He pulled out the spare key and opened the door to look inside.

"Sir!" The originally low voice suddenly became high-pitched, which also alarmed everyone in the restaurant, and they immediately rushed to the place where the sound came from.

When they came to the door of Hirozo Hatamoto, they saw Suzuki's butler lying on the ground, and he looked panicked.

"What's wrong? Suzuki housekeeper! "Sir, he!" As he spoke, he pointed to the house, and everyone looked into the room.

Then there were a few violent screams, and I saw the old man in the house fall straight to the ground, with a large pool of blood flowing from his abdomen, obviously dead.

"Grandpa!" The excited Xia Jiang suddenly wanted to enter the room, but Xiao Wulang immediately stretched out his hand and asked her to stop, "From now on, no one can enter this room without permission!" ”

Unlike the sad Xia Jiang, except for Xiang Er, who was still a little sad, the other few people were only happy.

They had long wished that this old man was going to die, so how could they be unhappy when it really happened at this time?

Only when he dies can they inherit his property, especially if it is possible for Qimoto Haozang to give all of his property to Xia Jiang.

Kogoro deliberately avoided the doorway, and he walked over to the old man who had fallen to the ground, and examined his body carefully.

The cause of death was a knife in the abdomen, and the deceased died without much struggle, while no traces of the murder weapon were seen at the scene.

The blood was still hot, the body was not yet stiff, and the time of death should have been within half an hour, Kogoro then told everyone what he had learned.

"Grandpa, he must have committed suicide! He must have known that someone was trying to rob him of his property, so he punished him in this way! Akie said nonchalantly.

"Of course, what I said earlier doesn't include Xia Jiang! Isn't it, kind Xia Jiang? "Yes, it's suicide, it's definitely suicide!"

"Impossible! If it was suicide, there was no need to choose such a painful way to die, and the murder weapon was not found! ”

"Then it's the use of ice, it's not often shown on TV, using ice as a murder weapon, and it disappears after it melts." Ryao Qimoto answered.

"No, judging from the wounds, the thickness of the murder weapon is no more than two millimeters, which is difficult to do with ice, and there are no water stains after the ice melts at the scene." Once again, Kogoro vetoed their words.

"Butler Suzuki, was the door locked when you came? Is there anything else weird!? ”

"The door was locked when I came, yes! I also picked this up at the door! With that, he took out a corsage from his pocket.

"Isn't that Xiao Wu's corsage!? Did you kill your grandfather? Qiu Jiang looked at Xiao Wu with a surprised expression.

No matter how you look at it, Xiao Wu has no need to kill the treasure master, but after listening to the words of Mariko Kimoto next, it will be different.

"Xiao Wu, you don't have to hide it! I heard it when you were in your grandfather's room, and you are the son of Yuo Shibata! ”

"What!?" Kitaro Hatamoto and Shoji Akimoto were both surprised, obviously no stranger to the name Yuo Shibata.

"Who is this Yuo Shibata?" Kogoro asked suspiciously. "It's the chairman of a consortium that was taken away by my father ten years ago."

"After that he committed suicide, his wife died of illness soon after, and their children were sent to an orphanage."

"I didn't expect Xiao Wuhui to be that child!" Kitaro Kimoto said with a slight sigh. "Xiao Wu!?" "That's right, I'm Yuo Shibata's son."

"Then you infiltrated the Qiben Consortium in order to take revenge, and then deceived Xia Jiang's feelings, and finally killed your grandfather!"

"Xiao Wu! I didn't expect that! After hearing this, Xia Jiang suddenly burst into tears, and turned around and ran out before he finished speaking.

"Xia Jiang!" Xiao Wu immediately planned to follow after seeing this, but was stopped by Shoji Kimoto. "Xiao Wu, originally I was very optimistic about you, but!" He shook his head slightly.
