Chapter 62: Serial Killings on a Luxury Steamer
Listening to Mori Kogoro's words, Ryuo Namoto couldn't help asking, "Then who locked the door?" ”
"The old man himself!" Yoshizuru Yamamoto got up and said, "After the old man was stabbed at the door, in order to escape the murderer, he hid in the room and locked the door. It's a pity that the old man didn't make it through and finally died inside. ”
After hearing this, Shoji couldn't help but nod and said, "In this way, all the doubts will have a reasonable explanation!" ”
"But in this case, everyone is suspicious!" Mori Kogoro thought for a moment and said, "I sat down at the table with Xiaolan, Yamamoto, Conan, Sonoko and Miss Natsue until eight o'clock, so it is impossible for me to commit murder. At that time, the Suzuki butler had been arranging the tableware next to him, so it can be seen that the murderer was not in the restaurant at that time."
Speaking of this, Maori Kogoro looked at the Sakimoto family at the door: "Except for Miss Xia Jiang, one of the seven of you." ”
"How so?!" Xia Jiang looked at the seven people in disbelief, they were all relatives of himself and his grandfather, how could they be the murderers who killed his grandfather? And why on earth did they do this? Why?!
Yoshizuru Yamamoto asked the butler standing aside, "Butler Suzuki, did you notice anything particularly wrong when you arrived?" ”
"Nothing special!" Kenji Suzuki shook his head, then recalled, "Oh! That's right! I picked up this flower at the door! As he spoke, he took out the flower that he had put in his pocket.
"Flowers?" Maori Kogoro looked at the flower in the hand of the Suzuki butler with some puzzlement, and didn't understand what this had to do with the case.
"Huh? This flower" Xia Jiang walked up to the Suzuki butler in shock, looked at it carefully, and said, "This flower is the flower I helped Xiao Wu don't go up!" ”
"Huh?" "Huh?" The group looked at Takeshi Ben on the side with some shock, could he be the murderer?
Akie sneered at Takeshi Takeshi, "That's it, no wonder you went to the restaurant so late!" ”
Takeshi scratched the back of his head and said, "No, sister, you misunderstood, I was thinking about something in the room at that time, so"
"You haven't given up yet, Xiao Wu!" Mariko Sneered, "I accidentally heard it outside the door just now, and you were arguing with your father inside the house at the time!" ”
"Huh?" Takeshi looked at Mariko with a shocked expression, he had an ominous premonition, she shouldn't have heard those words, right?
"I'm sure you're freaking, it's actually you!" Mariko Sakimoto sneered, and pointed at Takeshi Takeshi: "Actually, you are the son of Nagao Caicheng!" ”
"Huh?" "Huh?" Listening to Mariko's words, several members of the Takeshi family looked at Takeshi with a shocked expression.
Seeing everyone's shocked looks, Mori Kogoro couldn't help but ask Mariko Samoto's husband, "Who is Nagao Caicheng she just said?" ”
"Actually, Caicheng Yongfu is the chairman of Caicheng Enterprise who committed suicide after his father took away the company that year." "I heard that a year later, his wife died of illness, and his only son was sent to an orphanage. Later"
Speaking of this, Kitaro looked at Takeshi Takeshi: "Later, that kid should be Xiao Wu!" ”
"Is this true?" Xia Jiang ran to the surface of Takeshi and asked in disbelief, "Is it true?" Xiao Wu! ”
"That's right! I am Takehiko Caicheng, the son of Nagao Caishiro! Takehiko Caicheng closed his eyes and admitted, but after opening his eyes, he still wanted to explain. But it's me, me."
At this time, Maori Kogoro reasoned: "In order to avenge your father, you approached Miss Xia Jiang and mixed into the Zomoto family." Then, you wait for the right moment to strike, and tonight, you make up your mind to kill him. ”
"Whew. Woo" Xia Jiang looked at Takehiko Caicheng in disbelief, covered his face and ran away.
"It's not like that! Xia Jiang! Takehiko Caicheng said that he was going to catch up.
"That's it!" Reaching out and grabbing one of Takehiko Caicheng's hands, Shoji shook his head and said, "Boy, I originally thought you were a man with a lot of backbone, but I looked away." ”
"Huh!" Ryuo walked over and sneered: "There is your corsage at the scene, and your deeds have been revealed!" ”
Caicheng Takehiko said unwillingly: "I don't know why the flowers fell there!" ”
Glancing at Takehiko Caicheng, who was taken away by everyone, Yamamoto Yoshitsuru pointed to the floor outside the door and said to Yamamoto's Conan: "There are traces that have been erased here, I think it was when the murderer killed the old man Haozang, there was blood dripping on this place, and then the murderer wiped this place clean." ”
Conan continued: "But if the murderer had time to mop the floor, for whatever reason, he would have found the flowers that had fallen on the floor." ”
"So, Takehiko Caicheng is not a murderer, the murderer is someone else!" Yoshitsuru Yamamoto said and pointed to a pool of blood next to him and said, "There are bread crumbs in here, I have smelled it, and it smells of charcoal." ”
Conan picked up a small piece of blood stains, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed: "You're right, it does smell of charcoal, maybe it was left behind by the murderer when he committed the murder." ”
Yamamoto Yoshitsuru stood up when he heard this, and asked the butler standing aside, "Suzuki butler, I want to ask, is there bread on the food at today's wedding?" ”
"Of course!" Butler Suzuki replied: "Because it's French cuisine, it's the second young master Xiang who runs French cuisine, and he insists on doing it." ”
Conan asked aloud, "Then does everyone eat bread?" ”
"Oh!" After glancing at Conan, Butler Suzuki replied, "Except for the master, everyone has something to eat." ”
Conan asked again, "Did Mr. Shoji use his own knives when he was in charge of the kitchen?" ”
Suzuki's butler nodded and said, "Yes, that's his baby!" As he spoke, he looked at Conan and Yamamoto Yoshitsuru and said, "Okay, I have to go and prepare dinner, otherwise everyone will be hungry!" With that, he turned and left.
After the Suzuki housekeeper left, Yamamoto Yoshitsuru said to Conan: "For the time being, don't tell the reasoning that Takehiko Caicheng is not a murderer, so as not to startle the snake and let the real murderer be on guard." ”
"I know!" Conan nodded, and then asked, "Yamamoto, who do you think the murderer will be?" ”
"I don't know about this yet!" Yamamoto Yoshitsuru shook his head and walked towards the restaurant, saying as he walked: "But the murderer must be one of the six remaining members of the Rakamoto family, although it is not sure who the murderer is, but as long as the murder weapon can be found, there will be eyebrows." ”
Hearing this, Conan frowned and said, "The murder weapon must have been hidden by the murderer, and it is not easy to find it. Instead of pinning your hopes on the murder weapon, it is better to look for other clues. ”
"Then you go and look for clues, I won't accompany you!" Yoshitsuru Yamamoto said and walked into the restaurant, returned to the side of Suzuki Sonoko, and said with a smile, "Have you waited for a long time?" ”
"It's okay!" Although she felt a little bored, Sonoko Suzuki still said, "Was it a dead person just now?" I could faintly hear the sound of conversation. ”
"You heard it right, it's a dead man!" Yoshitsuru Yamamoto nodded and told the story. Of course, the fact that Takehiko Caicheng is not a murderer, he will definitely not say it. It's not that I don't believe her, but I'm worried that she will say it with a big mouth, although it's not a big problem to say it, but it's better not to say it first, or not to say it.
While talking, the Maori father and daughter and the six members of the Rakamoto family entered the restaurant one after another, and it didn't take long for Rakamoto Xia Jiang to also enter the restaurant, but her eyes were red, obviously crying a lot.
The atmosphere of the whole dinner was very dull, which made Suzuki Sonoko, who has always been lively, very uncomfortable. But she also understands the reason, and knows that the treasure has just died, so it is not good to liven up the atmosphere. When dinner was over, she sat down beside Maorilan and whispered in her ear.
Looking at Moriran and Sonoko Suzuki, who were talking, Yoshitsuru Yamamoto got up and left the restaurant, walked out of the deck, and came to Natsue Natsumoto, who was leaning against the side of the guardrail. "Miss Xia Jiang, are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Xia Jiang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled reluctantly.
Yamamoto Yoshitsuru said softly: "Actually, I have encountered a case like yours, please don't be too sad." ”
"Huh?" Natsue looked at Yoshitsuru Yamamoto and said suspiciously, "Mr. Yamamoto, can you talk to me?" ”
"Of course!" Yoshitsuru Yamamoto nodded and said: "That woman is Xiaolan and the teacher of the garden, on the day of the wedding, the groom actually poisoned the bride and wanted to kill her, in order to avenge the hatred of his mother for the death of the bride's father ten years ago." The reason why the groom approaches the bride is because he wants revenge, and the reason why he wants to kill the bride is to make the bride's father live in pain. At that time, they had been dating for 7 years, which was not short. ”
Xia Jiang couldn't help asking, "What happened to that bride?" ”
Yoshitsuru Yamamoto patted his chest and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I was there at the time and saved the bride in time." In fact, the bride knew that the man had poisoned him, and the reason why she drank the poison was to make a break with the past. If it dies, then let the groom take revenge, and if there is no death, then it will be cut off with the groom, and it will never be related to it again. ”
"Xiao Wu approached me, I'm afraid it's also for revenge, right?" Xia Jiang laughed at himself and said, what a sarcasm!
"I believe that Mr. Xiao Wu is not that kind of person, at least I believe that he is not a murderer." Mao Lilan, who walked out of the dining room and came to the deck, glared at Yoshitsuru Yamamoto fiercely as he spoke, blaming him for not telling him about his teacher, which made Miss Xia Jiang even more sad.
