Chapter 69: Revenge of the Past
But then everyone's faces were very ugly, and after inspection, all the four tires of all the cars were damaged, and the other party's purpose was obviously not to let them leave like this.
From this point of view, the other party either has a target that they want to attack, or they just want to delay time so that they can destroy any evidence before the police arrive.
"Damn! What the hell is Ryoji going to do!? Horita shouted angrily, and then got Fumiko Horita to echo him. I'm going to go back later! ”
No matter what they thought, Kogoro was watching each car carefully. Every tire is destroyed, which is not something that can be done in a short time.
And among all of them, only Masahiro Yamauchi, who has been out of their sight for the longest time, can do it, and the others don't have enough time, so they can prove his suspicion even more.
Without finding any useful clues in the vehicle, Kogoro turned his attention away. "Is there any other means of transport to get down the mountain besides these cars?"
"Except for these cars, my car is parked in the garage, but because it broke down a few days ago, I can't use it yet." "Is that so?" After listening to Masahiro Yamauchi's explanation, Kogoro was even more sure that Ryoji Horita was not the murderer.
If he had tried to escape, he wouldn't have punctured the tires of his own car. If he still had a goal he wanted to do, he would have had the time and opportunity to do so beforehand.
But at this time, he is mysteriously missing, which is worth pondering. "From now on, for everyone's safety, we must always stay together to avoid any danger!"
Kogoro said solemnly, but was directly rejected. "What are you kidding!? I'm going back to my room! Fumiko Horita replied dissatisfiedly, and then turned around and left without hesitation.
Before Kogoro could stop him, Koichi Horita also spoke. "This, I still have something to do, so I'll go back with Harumi first!" As he spoke, he smiled apologetically at Kogoro, and then turned around and left directly with Harumi Horita.
Seeing that they all left one after another, Masahiro Yamauchi also said lightly. "I think so! I'll still go to the garage and see if I can fix my car as soon as possible! ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Kogoro to answer, and also left directly, leaving Kogoro who was extremely embarrassed. "Damn! All of them! Too willful! ”
Hearing Kogoro's resentful words, Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes, obviously very disapproving of his words.
Just after seeing Conan's expression, Kogoro looked at him angrily, but then the anger disappeared directly, because he found a pendant.
It seemed to be somewhat familiar, as if it had seen it somewhere, and was lying quietly behind Conan at this time. Kogoro walked over in a few steps and bent down to pick it up.
When he took a closer look, Kogoro remembered who its owner was. It was the pendant that Fumiko Horita wore around her neck before. Kogoro opened it and saw a picture inside.
It was a young man, vaguely familiar, as if he had seen someone very similar somewhere. But when I think about it, I don't have any relevant memories.
After thinking to no avail, Kogoro gave up directly. After sending Xiaolan back to the living room, he asked Conan to return the pendant to Fumiko Horita, and he went to Yamauchi Masahiro's house, and he wanted to take advantage of his absence to find out if there were any clues.
This time he was not disappointed, and not only in Masashiro Yamauchi's house, he found the raw materials for making explosives. And I also saw a photo of the same person in the pendant of Fumiko Horita.
Although there is some speculation about his identity, it still needs to be confirmed. As for the confirmed object, it is naturally Fumiko Horita in addition to the suspect Masahiro Yamauchi.
Kogoro didn't touch anything in the house, just took a few photos with his mobile phone, and then left directly, and then he met Conan at the door of the villa, who had just returned from Fumiko Horita.
After the two of them each tell their findings, they can basically lock down Yamauchi's crimes, and if Ryoji Horita can be found, then the evidence will be more sufficient.
So the two acted separately again, Conan used his identity as a child to go to Yamauchi Masahiro's side to get information, while Kogoro used his professional knowledge to find Ryoji Horita again.
He couldn't have had much time to prepare for both this crime and dinner, so after that, Yamauchi Masahiro didn't have enough time to take Ryoji Horita out of the villa. ’
So Ryoji Horita should still be around the villa now. But no trace of him was found inside the house, and it was unlikely that it was somewhere outside the house, so there was only one place left! ’
Sure enough, as Kogoro expected, in the basement he successfully found Ryoji Horita, who was gagged and tied up, and the whole person looked a little embarrassed.
After seeing Kogoro's arrival, he looked very excited, and his restrained body kept writhing, and at the same time, his mouth made a whining sound.
After untying his mouth, he took a few deep breaths before shouting. "Mr. Maori! It's Yamauchi, and that old guy in Yamauchi attacked and tied me up! My dad must have been killed by him! You must excuse and explain me! ”
Regardless of his excitement and nervousness, Kogoro turned around and walked away after completely untying him completely. After a blank look, Ryoji Horita gritted his teeth and followed directly.
In the living room, Kogoro called everyone except Fumiko Horita. As for why she got rid of Fumiko Horita, it was because she drove it down the mountain after learning that Masahiro Yamauchi had repaired his car.
Several people gathered in the living room, all looking at Ryoji Horita behind Kogoro with a wary face. Only Masahiro Yamauchi looked very uneasy, and instead of flashing his eyes, he looked at Ryoji Horita.
Before Ryoji Horida could speak angrily, Kogoro began to narrate. "The one who committed this crime is Steward Masahiro Yamauchi! He was the only one who had plenty of time to complete the entire layout. ”
And then he took the opportunity to blame Mr. Ryoji Horita for the crime! After that, you are not satisfied, and you are still trying to continue the crime, this time the target is Miss Fumiko Horita! ”
"Huh! Mr. Mori is really good at laughing! Are you saying that I planted the bomb and killed the old man!? These are all just speculations, but what about the evidence!? Where are they?! ”
