Chapter 141: The True Truth

It's rare that Toru Amamiya and Kotoko Iwanaga exist when he is reasoning, but he is not disturbed by these two people, and Conan surprisingly smoothly thinks about the truth of the matter.

It's just that this kind of truth makes Conan a little rare silence, and such a thing is too far away for a child like him.

And looking at the increasingly eerie atmosphere on the field, the uncharacteristically indifferent and alienated Toru Amamiya and Kotoko Iwanaga, and the restless appearance of Morilan, Conan finally made up his mind to end the incident as soon as possible.

…… Now that the specific distribution of the inheritance has been resolved, it should be no problem for the detective present to conclude the matter, right?

Conan pretended to look around, rushed down and patted Uncle Mori on the shoulder, leaving Dr. Asa's newly modified detective button on the sofa behind Kogoro Mori.

This detective button has been further refined by Dr. Asasa to be dual-purpose, not only can it be used as a megaphone, but it can also collect the voice of its own butterfly tie voice changer to assist in its disguise.

At the same time, it can also be used as an eavesdropper, so that you can always hear the feedback of the police or other onlookers on their reasoning, which can be described as a dual-purpose.

"I suddenly want to go to the bathroom!" Conan yelled at Mori Kogoro, softening the atmosphere in the room a little.

"I'll take him to ......"

Mao Lilan immediately stood up, opened the door of this conference room with a smile, and left the place that made her quite uncomfortable.

But what she didn't notice when she wanted to leave was that at the last moment when the door was closed, Conan suddenly turned around and shot with the watch he had already prepared.

Kogoro Maori collapsed in response, and even raised one of his hands before he collapsed in a gesture of the contemplative lifting his chin.

"It's ...... Sleeping Mori Kogoro? ”

The Otono family was quite surprised, they had all heard the news that the Maori detective used to sleep to solve crimes, but they had never heard of it, and now they couldn't help but be a little surprised to see the real person.

Conan, on the other side, quickly ran to the toilet, found a cubicle, adjusted his tie, and skillfully began his performance.

"I have a complete understanding of what happened, and I have the answer to the truth of the matter."

"Ms. Otono committed suicide, so everyone, including my grandfather, will have an alibi."

"Maori Kogoro" said categorically, making the surrounding people a little incredulous.

"Huh? Mr. Maori, what are you talking about? ”

"Mother is a very controlling person, and he has no motive to commit suicide at all!"

Oto-Mujin expressed disbelief at this answer, but the sleeping Mori Kogoro did not react, just continued to explain to himself.

"Ms. Otomu must have predicted the decline of the group, and she is also aware of the pain of her children who have been under her own restraint all along."

"And she's bound to herself, isn't she?"

"When he was young, he married Chairman Otonari at the behest of his father, and after becoming the ruler of the Otonai group, he has been following the path that his father planned."

"What you think of as a controlled life has become the norm for Ms. Cheng, because she has always been raised under her father's control."

"The only difference between her and you is that she has never tried to resist, until finally she has formed a mindset from the order, and even made her realize her mistake......"

"It's hard to go against your father's wishes to change the company's strategy and give up the control you've always had."

"People often choose the easiest way to escape when they are cornered, so it is very attractive to choose death by yourself."

"That's what motivated her to commit suicide."

Yin Wujin stared blankly at the detective in front of her, Yin Wuli remained silent, she already had a certain conjecture about this answer.

Koya Fujinuma gently cupped his chin with a thoughtful expression, and "Mori Kogoro" continued to recount his reasoning.

"It's just that Miss Cheng, as the president of a large group, can't easily commit suicide, because this will damage the image of the group."

"So that's why she disguised her suicide as homicide."

Conan sat on the toilet and said with a heavy face the truth he had thought out of the past.

As a child who grew up in a free family, and the friends around him were also free and lively like Maoliran or Suzuki Sonoko, my dad didn't experience this feeling of being controlled.

But it is precisely because of this that he was able to think of this answer from the perspective of a bystander, guided by Iwanaga Koto.

"But then why did my father say that he was the murderer of my mother?"

A drop of cold sweat crossed Yin Wujin's face, he had roughly guessed the truth back then, but he still didn't want to believe it, he wanted this detective to break down this "fact" that he didn't want to believe.

And "Maori Kogoro" also fulfilled his wish.

"Because Ms. Oto-Mucheng's suicide is the result of a planned inducement by President Oto-no."

"Deliberately pointing out the problems that the company is facing now and the decay that the former president's expansion plan will inevitably bring to the company, she can see that the children she thought she loved each other had plans to kill her."

"Finally, it is implied that only her departure is the best way to solve all these problems."

"And Miss Cheng, who is in despair, is understandable that she chooses to die under the continuous stimulation, right?"

Otomu Jin pinched his collar, barely breathing, and Fujinuma Koya smiled bitterly as if he had finally figured everything out.

Yin Wuli lowered her head and said the final summary of this reasoning on behalf of "Maori Detective".

"As Mr. Maori said, even if my grandfather told the truth, I'm afraid we wouldn't accept it."

"If we didn't think that my grandfather was the murderer, and we didn't know that everyone planned to kill my grandmother, and if we couldn't objectively look at my grandmother's position at that time, we probably wouldn't have believed this truth at all."

"That's right? Mr. Amamiya and Miss Iwanaga, you were entrusted by your grandfather to guide us to find out the truth for ourselves......"

Several members of the Otono family expressed their approval of this answer, and Mori Kogoro finally woke up just in time.

"Huh? Did I just fall asleep......" Mori Kogoro was a little confused, looking at the silence around him, and for a while he didn't even know if he had entered that bizarre "reasoning personality" or if he was really asleep.

"Thank you very much for reasoning...... The sleeping Maori Kogoro really lives up to his name. ”

"I can see it more clearly than we authorities."

Oto-sanjin nodded to Mori Kogoro very gratefully, feeling guilty for the truth of the year.

If that's the case, although in the end the brothers and sisters didn't succeed it was just their own plan.

But if the murderers are really concerned, they are all accomplices in the murder of their mothers......

-------------------------------------

After experiencing the various luxurious facilities of the luxury hotel in a hurry, Kogoro Mori did not participate in the final decision at noon the next day, and chose to leave in a hurry.

Otonarichi Iwanaga Kotoko and Toru Amamiya were in the same room and had a final conversation.

"I should have given you this chance sooner, you seem to have been holding out excessive guilt before......"

"This answer is correct, and I'm glad I killed Ah Cheng before you carried out your plan, because I don't want to see you kill your own mother with your own hands."

Chairman Otonari maintained his kindness as always, and told everyone the "truth".

"Everyone has a time when they want to kill someone, and there is a time when you actually have the murder weapon in your hand."

"But whether or not to take the last step is a world of difference, the sin of killing Ah Cheng is borne by me, you just have to watch me die."

"I have actually been hiding one thing from everyone, I have terminal cancer, and the doctor said that I have less than half a year to live, and I will die in the pain and suffering of the distance."

Chairman Otonai had been preparing for this moment for a long time, and he naturally said the lines he had already prepared.

Karma and retribution were always the philosophical topics that the old man thought about the most, and he didn't want his children to suffer the pain of guilt in previous years.

"This pain is the price I paid for killing Ah Cheng, I won't take medicine, I won't euthanize early, I will seriously experience this pain until I take my last breath, because this is the retribution that someone who has killed should suffer."

The few people of the Oto-no family looked at the Oto-no-chan who was still in great spirits on the surface with almost incredible eyes.

Although they had a premonition that Oto's time was running out, they never imagined that this "time" would be so short.

"As long as you have made a choice, you must accept that change, and you can't take the success of crime for granted, and this is my final advice to you."

Chairman Otonai finally fulfilled his last wish before he died, and smiled contentedly.

"Kotoko-sama, and Mr. Amamiya, it's great to entrust this matter to you, thank you very much for all this ...... you have done for us."

Although Otomu Jin and the others still have a lot of complaints about what Kotoko Iwanaga and Toru Amamiya did yesterday, they still try to put on a smile and maintain the harmony of etiquette.

"It's too early to say thank you, isn't it?"

But what they didn't expect was that Kotoko Iwanaga broke the relaxed atmosphere between them at this time.

"If it was really the president who killed the lady with his own hands, then there is no room for me to say anything nonsense here, but the president has taken an unusual way."

"I think it's time for you to realize it's not right."

Kotoko Iwanaga looked at Honno, who had not reacted to the current situation, and "politely" told him why she did it in words that only he could understand.

"The president still thinks he did nothing wrong."

"You tell your children that you're glad you didn't let your children kill their mothers......"

"This speaks to past successes and makes you have no regrets about your choices at the time."

Toru Amamiya kept a ceremonial smile, of course he knew why Kotoko Iwanaga did this......

The barrier between the supernatural side and the technology side is necessary, and Toru Amamiya has a painful understanding of this.

And in this world where belief is even enough to create gods, it is even more necessary to separate the supernatural side from the technological test.

There can be a certain amount of communication between the technological and the supernatural side, and friendship and even intermarriage are allowed between human beings.

But attempts to exploit the power of the supernatural side for one's own benefit in the mundane world will never be allowed.

No one can afford the well-known cost of this way of obtaining benefits, so no matter what the outcome, everyone who tries to transgress this rule must be punished.

The kitsune involved in the trade has been found by Kotoko Iwanaga, and it will receive the harshest punishment in the Kitsuna clan for breaking the ban.

And now, Kotoko Iwanaga will bring judgment to President Otonari.

"According to the Māori detective's inference, Ms. Oto's death was of voluntary choice, so why didn't she disguise it as an accident at the time?"

"Accidentally rushed into the fast lane while picking something up, and fell from the platform to the railroad tracks, as long as the person concerned wants, it should be easy to fake a similar accident."

"In this way, the police will not do their best to search for the alibi evidence of the relevant people and raise suspicions about you."

"Actually, Miss Fumiko's alibi is almost untenable."

"Even if the police investigate seriously, the disguise of suicide may be exposed, so the risk of pretending to be homicide is too high, right?"

"In other words, there is no pretense that he killed, and Ms. Yin Wucheng's death is still a murder."

Kotoko Iwanaga stood up and glanced at the few members of the Otono family present, still with a well-behaved smile on her face, but unfortunately no one except Toru Amamiya could continue to remain calm under such a smile.

"Then, I'm going to point out the real murderer."

Kotoko Iwanaga said calmly as she looked at one pair of eyes after another, a mixture of horror and surprise.
