Chapter 14: Murder
After introducing ourselves to each other, after a short conversation, we had some basic understanding of Mr. Shigematsu's family, the Morien family, which is not a prominent family in Tokyo, a place full of gold, and usually does some business such as catering and entertainment, and its assets are only tens of billions of yen, which can be regarded as a small and medium-sized family. If I want to get along with a family like this, as long as I hack into its secret system and leak its trade secrets, it will only take a few days and it will be over.
"Why didn't her fiancΓ© come with her if she was going on a tour?" Hattori asked Mr. Shigematsu curiously.
"It's me who is not good", Kaede Katagiri next to him explained, "It's me who is not good, I must come and see Tokyo Tower." β
Mr. Shigematsu apologized, "The young master has a severe fear of heights, so he ......"
"That's right......" Hattori said relieved.
"Why don't you do that, Mr. Mori and a few of them will also come to Mori's house with Hattori, and the lord will be very happy. Mr. Shigematsu said.
"How good is this......"
"My lord usually admires a detective like Mr. Maori, and if he learns that you are here, he will definitely entertain you, so please do not refuse. Mr. Shigemomatsu bowed.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and excuse me. Uncle Maori, who was about to refuse by touching the back of his head, immediately changed his mind when he heard the words "feast hospitality", and his eyes lit up. Me, Conan, and Ran all turned their heads away from him with embarrassed faces. It's a shame......
"Where, where, Mr. Maori is so kind. Mr. Shigematsu smiled.
......
"What a big mansion!" Xiaolan sighed as she looked at the villa of the Senyuan family.
"It's the same as when I came here as a child. Hattori followed.
It's really a pretty beautiful villa, if it's a wealthy family like the Suzuki Foundation, it's understandable, and the Morien family, it can only be said that their background is too shallow. I looked at the huge castle and had my first impression of the Morien family. Three generations of nobles, even if a commoner works hard from the first generation and creates huge wealth, he must go through three generations of savings and cultivation to cultivate a real aristocratic aristocrat in the family. And now the Senyuan family shows huge economic strength everywhere, but it is full of a tyrant's atmosphere.
"Everyone, please, the master is already waiting for you. Mr. Shigematsu said.
"It's so gracious. Uncle Mori laughed as he followed Mr. Shigematsu.
When we passed by the side of a large tree, the crown of the big tree loosened for a while, and suddenly, a figure jumped down from the tree, startling us!
"Hey, Sakuraba, it's rude for you to be in front of the guests like this!" Mr. Shigematsu exclaimed, looking at the young man in front of him.
"I'm really sorry, because the old man's cat ran away again. The young man looked up, and we were greeted by a handsome and handsome face.
"It's so cute. "Let me see. When Xiaolan and Heye saw the kitten, they immediately surrounded it.
As a result, the kitten may have been shy when she saw two cute girls, and bit down on Sakuraba's fingers.
"It hurts, wait, Rhaeggar. The moment Sakuraba let go, the kitten jumped down. Sakuraba lowered her head with a frustrated look, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"I'm sorry. Xiaolan apologized to Sakura.
"Rhaeggar, come here. I crouched down and beckoned to the little one who was about to escape.
"Meow?" the kitten hesitated, leaning over to me.
"Good boy, so good. "I slowly reached out and picked up the kitten carefully and gently, and I gently scratched the hair on the kitten's chin, and if I did too much, it would scare the kitten away. The kitten lay in my arms, squinting and making a comfortable "purr" sound. I breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Ai likes kittens very much, in order to cater to Xiao Ai, in order to be popular with these small animals, but I wasted a lot of effort.
Looking at the boy who was stroking the kitten with a gentle expression, Hattori whispered to Conan: "Maybe he is really a good guy, animals are sensitive to people's murderous mouths, but they are so close to him." β
"Hmm. Conan replied in a low voice.
"Wow! Xiaohui is really amazing, he actually made the kitten so obedient, let me see the kitten. Kazuha looked at me with a look of surprise on his face.
"Actually, it's nothing, as long as you are gentle with the kitten, the kitten will listen to you. "I handed the kitten in my arms to Kazuha.
"It's amazing how rarely Rhaegar gets close to people. Mr. Shigemomatsu said to me with a look of surprise on his face.
"Really, it's the first time I've seen this kid so close to an outsider. With a female voice, a young woman dressed in luxury came up to us: "It's you, my brother's fiancΓ©e." I don't care what kind of daughter you are, you have to be conscious, and I will teach you how to be someone else's daughter-in-law in the future. As he spoke, he forced his gaze at Katagiri Kaede.
"Ah, yes......" Kaede Kaede took a step back, clearly intimidated by the man's momentum.
"Just kidding, I'm his sister Lily River, and I usually live abroad, so I won't bother you, don't worry. Lily Jiang put away his aggressive expression and said with a smile.
"Miss. Mr. Shigematsu stepped forward to greet him.
"You've got a set, I heard you lived here and tamed that playboy's brother. Lily Jiang stabbed Kata Tong Feng with his elbow and teased.
"Huh?"
"No, Miss, it was the young master who fell in love with Miss Feng at first sight. Mr. Shigematsu explained to Yurie.
"Ah, you didn't sue me like that. Lily Jiang was surprised.
"It's ......"
"Anyway, you're the one who led this marriage, maybe you can get some reward from your father. Lily Jiang said with a mysterious smile.
"Ahh Mr. Shigematsu smiled. But I always felt that there was a bit of reluctance in this smile.
"Shigematsu, you're back, dinner is ready, hey, these are the ......" As soon as we entered the door, a middle-aged man on crutches greeted Mr. Shigematsu and looked at us questioningly.
"Anyway, let's take a seat. The middle-aged man beckoned us without waiting for us to speak, then turned to the maid and said, "Add a few pairs of cutlery to the guests." β
"Excuse me. Uncle Maori said.
"Where, Where, ......"
......
"Ah, so you're the famous detective. At the dinner table, after listening to Mr. Shigematsu's introduction, the middle-aged man, who is the head of the Morien family, Morizono Mikio was surprised.
"Hello, I'm Kogoro Mori. "Uncle Maori was extremely humble.
"It's an honor to dine with such a great person as you. "Mikio Morizono is very enthusiastic.
"Your words are so touching. Uncle Maori said embarrassedly.
"Actually, I used to love detective stuff too. How's it going to be every time a detective has an incident, how does he feel about solving the mystery by reasoning?" said Morizono with a smile.
"An ordinary person like me can unravel events as if in a dream. Hahaha......" Uncle Maori touched the back of his head and smiled proudly. Conan and Hattori next to him couldn't help but show a disdainful expression.
"Dreaming, you're right, uncle, uh!" Before Hattori could finish his words, his face changed suddenly, it must have been Conan next to him who gave him a lesson.
"Oh, by the way, Shigematsu, help me get my camera, I want to take a picture with Mr. Mori as a souvenir. Mikio Morizono said to Mr. Shigematsu.
"Got it. Mr. Shigematsu replied.
"Also, come to my room later," just as Mr. Shigematsu was about to turn around and leave, Mikio Morizono stopped him again, "Because you have done a lot of things for my son's marriage, I want to thank you well, you're welcome, anything." β
"Yes. β
"Also, Sakuraba, my cat is missing again, sorry, go find it for me again. Morizono turned to Sakuraba again.
"Yes. β
"The cat had a bad temper, although he used to like my wife very much. Mikio Morizono explained to Uncle Maori.
"What did you mean before?" asked Uncle Maori.
"Mom, passed away four years ago, in an unfortunate car accident" With the voice of talking, a young man appeared in the restaurant.
Pale face, vain steps, and blank eyes, typical playboy who doesn't learn or know. I looked at the visitor secretly.
"I'm sorry, he's my son, Kikuto. Mikio Morizono introduced.
"Is sightseeing in Tokyo enjoyable, honey?" asked Kikuto Morizono as he walked up to Kaede Katagiri.
"Yes, it's very ......" Katagiri Kaede was embarrassed.
"Honey......" Xiaolan blushed.
"It's cold. He Ye had a disdainful face.
I began to imagine the scene of me calling Xiao Ai honey, but no matter how I thought about it, it seemed that there was only one ending being kicked away by Xiao Ai. I shuddered.
"Now, let's eat quickly, and then go back to the office early, I still have cartoons to watch." I said to Uncle Maori. While there is no incident yet, it's best to leave as much as possible, it's good for everyone, and I don't want to get into any trouble.
"Bang! you're so rude to talk like that, stinky little ghost!" Uncle Maori was furious, and reached out and planted a mushroom on my head. He turned his head to Mori Yuan and apologized: "I'm really sorry, the child is not sensible." β
"It's out of the way, it's out of the way," Morizono waved his hand repeatedly, then turned to me and smiled, "If you want to watch TV, you can do it here, kid." β
"I'm here for you, I really don't know how to ...... good people," I muttered, holding the "mushroom" on my head.
Then the banquet began in a harmonious atmosphere, although Xiaolan and Heye didn't say anything, they ate quickly, and it seemed that they were secretly helping me. What a nice guy. Uncle Mori and Morizono have a good conversation, the key is that Mori is very skillful in speaking, and he can always elevate Uncle Mori unconsciously, and he doesn't let people notice the traces, so he is worthy of being a businessman.
It felt like centuries had passed, and the feast that had terrified me had finally come to an end, and nothing had happened.
It's great that there are no birth events, congratulations, congratulations. When I said goodbye, I touched my heart and secretly rejoiced.
"Conan, after the ceremony tomorrow, I'll go back to the office to find you. "Hattori was at the door of the villa to Conan.
"Ahh β
"See you tomorrow, good night. Xiaolan said goodbye.
"Xiaohui, go back and have a good rest, tomorrow my sister will take you to play!" and Ye also said goodbye to me.
"Well, goodbye to Sister Ye. "The incident put me in a good mood. Conan-kun, you have finally accumulated virtue......
Five-step, four-step, three-step...... We are getting closer and closer to the door.
"Bang! bang......" came the sound of glass breaking.
"Oh my God......" I groaned, clutching my forehead. My fears finally came to pass. I retract what I just said......
"What's going on?!" Conan asked Hattori as he hurried back.
"The glass window on the third floor seems to have been broken by someone. Hattori said.
"Sister Xiaolan is guarding that window. Conan shouted.
"Kazuha, just in case, help me find Mr. Shigematsu. Hattori also said to Kazuha urgently.
So, the two of them rushed upstairs.
Alas, I'll go up and have a look, too. Huh? Why is the window in the next room closed? I was just about to go upstairs, but when I looked up, I saw this. Forget it, let's go up and have a look.
"Huh, what are you all doing standing outside the door?" I strolled upstairs, only to see a large group of people standing outside the room, looking anxious but helpless.
"The door is locked, we don't have the key, and Mr. Shigematsu can't find it. I'm waiting for someone to bump into ...... Door. Before Hattori could finish his words, I stepped forward with a bored look on my face and kicked the door open with a "bang!" and choked Hattori's words back. Hattori was stunned and almost choked to death. The person next to him was also petrified.
"Hey, Xiaolan, is he really Xiaohui?" He Ye stabbed Xiaolan's waist and asked in a low voice.
"It should ...... Right. Xiaolan's eyes were also full of incredulity. It was the first time she had seen me so violent.
"What are you doing in a daze?" I said to Hattori and Conan.
"Ah, yes. Hattori and Conan hurried inside.
As soon as they entered, they saw the bloodstains stretching all the way to the depths of the room, and the bloodstains in their eyes walked forward, and they saw Mr. Shigematsu sitting at the table covered in blood. The heart was red, and it was obvious that he had died from a sharp blade piercing his heart. But there was no murder weapon next to him, it seems that he killed it, and the murder weapon was disposed of by the murderer.
Soon, everyone gathered. Katagiri Kaede fainted.
Hattori stepped forward and pulled back the curtains: "It's locked." β
"It's the same here. Conan said and shouted to Xiaolan downstairs, "Sister Xiaolan, no one has escaped through this window." β
"Well, not a single one. Xiaolan answered downstairs.
That means it's a murder in a secret room. I wasn't interested in anything at all, I just wanted to go home and sleep as much as I could. Alas, forget it. Let's see how my brother's reasoning skills are.
Soon, Hattori also retrieved the key from Mr. Shigematsu's pocket, proving that it was a secret room murder.
"Hey, tomorrow is my wedding day, and I don't know who it is, so it's too boring. "Mori Yuan Ju is humane.
"Wait, Kikuto, how can you say that?! Now that such a thing is born, how can you still be in the mood to get married!" Yurie Jiang said dissatisfied.
"Don't say that, sister, the person who died was not from the Mori Yuan family, and I don't want to cancel my honeymoon now. Although I am sorry for Mr. Shigematsu, I decided that tomorrow's wedding must be held in a grand manner, and in doing so, Mr. Shigematsu should think that it will be better, right? Mori Yuan Kikuto's flirtatious smile made Yurie Jiang speechless.
"Bang!" Kikuto collapsed and sat against the window, which shattered a large piece of glass. Sakuraba gasped with a hideous expression.
"You ...... guy"
"Stop, Kikuto!" Kikuto stood up, and just as he was about to fight, he was stopped by Mori Yuan Mikio: "Someone is dead here, what the hell are you thinking?! Don't be ashamed! Also, for Sakuraba, who has lost both parents since he was a child, Shigematsu is like his father. Why can't you empathize with other people's feelings? And it's none other than Shigesong who is involved in this marriage. And Shigematsu also kept the company that was about to go bankrupt by you, and now you are doing this to him!" said and turned to Sakuraba and said, "Sakura, you are the same, for your own master, it is disrespectful to the master." Be careful in the future. β
"Yes. Sakuraba lowered her head.
"Lily River, wait a minute, you inform Miss Feng's parents that tomorrow's wedding will be postponed. Morien looked at Katagiri Kaede, who had fainted in Kazuha's arms, and said to Yurie River.
"Ahh
"What?!How is that possible?!" Hattori was surprised. On closer inspection, it was the kitten named "Rhaeggar" that came out from behind Mr. Shigematsu. Yurie, who is usually very close to kittens, stepped forward to tease.
Soon the police also arrived.
"Now, Kudo, do you have a few questions?" Hattori asked, standing at the door of the villa, to Conan. Because Conan said I already knew his identity, Hattori stopped caring about me.
"Four. β
"You have the same four doubts. β
"The first is the murder weapon that the prisoner took away from the scene, and it was not easy to create a secret room murder, if the murder weapon was around, it might be regarded as a suicide. β
"The second is the blood stains left by the body after it was moved, why should the body be carried next door?" Hattori received.
"The third is that only the lights in the corpse's room are on. β
"And then the fourth suspicion is ......"
"Cat!" both said at the same time. Sure enough, it's a golden partner, what a tacit understanding.
"Hey, give me a hint, you want to go home and sleep quickly. Conan turned to me, who was counting the stars with a bored look on his face.
"What? does he reason too?" Hattori said in surprise, pointing at me.
"Judging from the previous incidents, his reasoning ability is no less than mine, no, it should be said that he is higher than me. "Conan Road.
"Won't you?!" Hattori didn't believe it.
"Look down on my brother. I hate it when people look down on me, so I held out three fingers to Conan: "Brother gives you three hints." 1. Cats are a ridiculous failure. 2. Before I went upstairs, I saw that the window of the room next to the body was half-closed. Three, the look of that playboy wrestling is ridiculous. I said disdainfully: "I know, hurry up and solve the case, my brother is sleepy, I have to go home and sleep quickly." β
"What, such a stinky fart......" is probably because I saw it before, and now the way I dragged it made Hattori very unhappy. Conan listened to my words and thought deeply.
Suddenly, Conan seemed to have thought of something and ran upstairs.
"Hey, wait, Kudo. Hattori hurriedly followed.
Soon, Hattori and Conanme found the murder weapon hidden in the tree through a small hole in the broken glass. And the murderer, naturally, also exposed himself through the joint performance of the two and the police. As I expected, the murderer was indeed Morizono Kikuto.
It turned out that Katagiri Kaede and Sakuraba were in love, and Mr. Shigematsu asked Kikuto to withdraw from the marriage with Kikuto embezzlement of public funds, and became Katakiri-Kaede and Sakuraba, but was killed by Kikuto.
The love and hatred of the wealthy are always inseparable from money! In my previous life, there were also many side branches of the family who wanted to kill me and replace me as my heir, but unfortunately, I killed them.
The matter finally came to an end, and the only fly in the ointment was that it was already late at night after the incident was resolved, and we had to stay overnight at Senyuan's house.
The next day, Tokyo Station.
"Thank you really for your care this time. Hattori said to Uncle Maori. Because there was a murder, and it was Hattori's mother's classmate who died, Hattori was not in the mood to play in Tokyo, and he wanted to go back and tell his mother about it.
"Well, that's how it was to settle things in Osaka. And he didn't even consult me and acted in that play. Uncle Maori was dissatisfied.
"Because the fewer people who know, the better. Hattori smiled.
"What about Mr. Sakuraba and Miss Kaede, didn't you go to see him?" Conan asked Hattori.
"Well, I'm going to apologize to him and treat him like a prisoner. Hattori replied.
"Hey, do you see Sister Xiaolan and Sister He Ye?" I asked the two of them.
"Speaking of which, Heye is so slow. Hattori looked at his watch.
"No, Xiaolan, it's a shame to wear like this. Kazuha's embarrassed voice came.
"Since you're here, you're still saying that. Xiaolan said and pulled Kazuha in front of our eyes. I saw that he was wearing the same straight clothes as Hattori. I see. I smiled knowingly.
"What's the matter, Kazuha, you're also a straight line. Hattori was surprised.
"No, no, this is Xiaolan's clothes, she insisted on me to wear them, I'd better go to the toilet and change them." Kazuha said embarrassedly.
"Wait a minute," Hattori called out to Kazuha, "I don't care, you wear it like this." And seeing you like this......"
"It's ...... like this," Kazuha's face slowly turned red.
"It's like brother and sister. Hattori laughed heartlessly.
"Huh?"
I lost to you, I finally know why you have such a tacit understanding with my brother, you are really the same big thing...... I had a frustrated look on my face.
"Then I'm leaving, little brother Minghui, you have time to come to Osaka to play, your mind is very good. Hattori smiled meaningfully at me.
"Hmm. Goodbye to Sister Ye, goodbye to Brother Pingci. I smiled sweetly. Hattori is a nice guy. If I can, I'd like to spend more time with him, provided there are no murders. However, it is impossible. I looked at Conan, who was looking innocent, and thought helplessly.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
ps: Regarding the pronoun, let's keep the status quo, it's not that I don't want to change it, but after I change it, there is always a feeling that I'm telling a story, and I'm not inspired. Although it was a little late, it finally fulfilled its promise. Happy reading, hehe.
