Chapter 429: Take a cat on the road

Conan sat up straight, staring at the thick folder.

He still remembered Shiraishi's keen sense of the case, and it now seemed that it was not based on intuition, but on the basis of proper investigation. Not only is he talented, his intuition is accurate, but he also works hard, no wonder he can do what he can't do.

Now, since Shiraishi said that he felt bad, it should be really bad, and there might even be a potential murder.

…… But why tell them? Doesn't Shiraishi usually handle it by itself, or leave it to the black cat?

Conan has a lot of associative ability, and instantly thought of the envelope just now, and Shiraishi promised to go shopping with them.

It seems that Shiraishi pays attention to helping the client save face, and does not want to tell them about the Mori Yuan family, but plans to go to the Mori Yuan family in person, and then solve the problem quietly as before.

But just now he received a letter, and his attention suddenly changed...... What is written in the letter? Are there other more important cases, and Shiraishi can't get out of it, so he wants to hand this matter over to them to solve?

Heiji Hattori didn't think about it that much, he was more interested in the matter itself.

Since Shiraishi mentioned the strange relationship of the Morino family, Hattori Heiji remembered one thing:

"I heard my mother say that the person that Mrs. Morien likes is the housekeeper Shigesong, and at that time Mrs. Morien went to the Mori Garden Mansion to find Chongsong, and Lord Mori Yuan thought she was here to find herself, and proposed to her, and Mrs. Mori Yuan agreed. Later, the two of them had a good life, and they had both children and daughters, but the housekeeper Chongsong was a little miserable......"

Speaking of which, Hattori Heiji gradually came back to his senses in combination with the cases he had solved in the past, and guessed:

"Is it that Steward Chongsong finally can't stand this situation, so he wants to do something bad to Lord and Mrs. Moriyuan? But Mrs. Mori died a few years ago. ”

Hattori Heiji began to seriously think about whether Mrs. Moriyano's death was something else, such as that she was killed by Lord Moriyano, and now Butler Shigematsu accidentally found out the truth and avenged love.

"No, the problem is with Mr. Morien's son, Kikuto Morien." Shiraishi denied Hattori's speculation that seemed plausible:

"According to my investigation, it is likely that Mrs. Morin's story will be repeated in the next generation.

"The 'fiancée' of Morien Kikuto likes the adopted son of the housekeeper Shigematsu, that is, a helper of the Morien family. She went to Morien's house to meet the adopted son, but Morien Kikuto misunderstood...... Things slowly developed into what they are now. "It's time to prepare for the wedding ceremony.

"Oh......" Heiji Hattori began to speculate again, "Could it be that Kikuto Morizono noticed the truth and felt that he couldn't get by with his face, or he liked his fiancée too much, so he wanted to kill the adopted son of the housekeeper Shigematsu?" ”

"Why can't it be that the adopted son wants to kill the Morien Juren in order to rob his sweetheart." Although Toyama and Ye didn't know why Hattori Heiji acquiesced that someone would die, they also thought about it along this line.

Conan also objected: "It may also be that Shigematsu's housekeeper is anxious to protect his son, and he doesn't want his tragedy to repeat himself in his adopted son, plus his past grievances, so he wants to kill Morizono Kikuto." ”

Mao Lilan sat on the side and listened attentively, very shocked. Is the big family so complicated, no wonder Brother Shiraishi wants to move out by himself. However, it is also possible that he is close to school, although he has almost never seen Brother Shiraishi go to school......

“…… Not exactly. These people's guesses are quite reasonable, and Shiraishi paused for a second to rearrange the thoughts that were interrupted by them:

"The housekeeper Shigematsu found out about the situation of the wrong person, but in order to save the family's face, he did not directly tell the matter, but used the evidence of tax evasion of the Morien Juren Company as a threat to put pressure on the Morien Juren, wanting him to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, so as to solve the matter quietly."

"Threatening ......" This time, all four high school students understood.

It is well known that the victims of threats in this world are very strong and long-sighted.

They will be very aware that if this continues, the needs of the threat will be a bottomless pit, so they will have a desperate idea, and do everything possible to kill the threat. Three-two

From this point of view, the most dangerous thing is actually the Shigematsu housekeeper?

Finding that they finally got the right keyword, Shiraishi was very pleased:

"Recently, my friend has been helping me observe the situation of their house, and I found that the behavior of the Morizono chrysanthemum is a little strange.

"He suffers from a fear of heights, but lately he occasionally stands by the window of a high room, throws bundles of things into a tree, and pulls them back with a rope attached, much like a ......"

He didn't finish.

But Heiji Hattori and Conan understood as soon as they heard it - this was practicing abandoning the murder weapon.

Let the murder weapon fall on the leafy tree, not only can these things be well hidden, but also because the tree is too tall, so that some people who do not think carefully will give priority to eliminating the person with fear of heights after discovering the murder weapon.

Shiraishi flipped through the folders, and others could see the A4 paper printed with text flashing one by one, sometimes pictures, and occasionally some technical terms on it, but they couldn't see the specific content.

After looking at them for a while, Shiraishi seemed to notice their curious gaze, hesitated for a moment, and closed the folder again:

"Sorry, I can't show you this, but there's some information in it...... It may have an impact on his family's reputation and company. I was going to take the time to go over and hand over the documents to the client today, but suddenly something else happened......"

Something else must have been that letter.

Although the two high school detectives are still curious, they now have another strange case of a wealthy family to attract attention, and they are not entangled anymore.

Hattori Heiji quickly understood what Shiraishi meant: "Don't worry, we will definitely stop this matter and talk to them about it - I don't come to Tokyo often anyway, and my mother rarely comes, so I don't have to worry about being embarrassed to meet them." ”

Shiraishi nodded, in fact, he didn't dare to count on Hattori Heiji and Conan, especially Conan, who didn't tell anyone after he had a clue, just thinking silently in his head, and only thinking "So that's the case!" "It must be that person!" , and never confide in specific names and keywords.

This matter still needs to be done by people who are straightforward, such as two people from Osaka, plus a kind Maolilan.

However, can just talking about things really solve the problem smoothly, in case Morien Juren is the type who does not pursue mutual affection, only greedy for face and figure, and continues to ask for marriage strongly, maybe it will lead to other murders.

Shiraishi is still a little worried, he did the tasks in the past, and the high school detective is very good at solving the case and catching the murderer, but he stops the murder......

Shiraishi glanced at Conan and found that Conan's eyes were also a little empty, and he rarely had points for his success rate in stopping the murder.

After staring at each other for a moment, Shiraishi went back to the back room when a few people went out in a hurry.

Conan sensed that Shiraishi still had something to say, so he walked a little slower.

Soon, he saw Shiraishi come out with a black cat in his arms.

The neighbor put the cat in his hand and lovingly said, "Take it, maybe it will help." ”

The cat didn't seem to wake up yet, lying on its stomach and not moving, only the tip of its tail wagged a little, indicating that it was still a live cat.

The corner of Conan's eyes jumped, and he originally thought that Shiraishi was in a hurry to go to the doctor, but when he received the cat, he found that he was unconsciously relieved.

Conan grabbed the cat and said dryly, "I'll do my best." ”
