Chapter Eighty-Six: The Murder of the Three Hotta Brothers
Conan is actually reluctant to travel with Yueliu, after all, he is a rich second generation, and he has been to all interesting places.
What Conan wants to figure out most now is the relationship between Bai Jingxing and the Black Organization.
However, when Conan found out that Yueliu was cleaning up his things and had nothing to do with his neck, he chose to be obedient.
It's better to get into the car obediently than to be knocked unconscious and taken away by Yueliu.
After packing up his things, Tsukiyanagi took Conan first and went to the house of the unlucky guy who was killed during the robbery of Akemi Miyano.
This unlucky guy is the soul fragment that Yaeko found in the robbery driver before.
Perhaps because the resentment is too deep and it has no ability to become a resentful spirit, it can only be attached to the ghost qi and entangled with its murderer.
After Yaeko found it, he felt that it was very pitiful, so he promised that it would help him get compensation, so that it would be willingly sacrificed to Bai Jingxing, and by the way, Yaeko left a bunch of ghost qi for cultivation.
Of course, these ghost qi Yaeko were put away and used as his and Yueliu's private collections to slowly cultivate.
Because of the payment, Yueliu is also willing to go and give a friendly business card to the unlucky family.
Immediately afterward, he began to plan his route towards Osaka.
Maybe it was because there was too much that happened yesterday, Conan's aura of death, which temporarily stopped working, causing them to have a smooth ride along the way.
It wasn't until they picked up one on the side of the road in the evening, the president of Hotta Heavy Industries, who was working on Hotta, that everything was different.
The president, who seemed approachable when asking for help, had a big fight with his sons and daughters at a dinner party, and he was killed immediately afterward.
Looking at the corpse lying in the room with billowing smoke, Conan remembered Bai Jingxing's words that he would be killed, and couldn't help but glance at Yueliu, who was taking pictures with a confused face.
"Dad?! How is this possible! ”
The two sons of the deceased hurried over and prepared to rush in.
Yueliu leaned against the door with one hand and directly blocked their way:
"Don't move, no one can enter the scene until the police come."
Koichi Hotta, the eldest son of the deceased, was very unhappy:
"Who are you! Why should you care about us? ”
Yueliu smiled maliciously:
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that the murderer of President Hotta must be among you."
Yueliu took out her mobile phone:
"I have no right or duty to stop you, but if anyone wants to go in, I'll honestly take a picture.
"This is an inheritance dispute, seeing that you just quarreled so badly, no one should want to suspect yourself and help the murderer get away with it, right?"
Several people looked at each other, and the boss's wife pointed to the scene of the murder:
"But the kid is already in."
Yueliu: ??
He turned his head and found that Conan had run to the corpse at some point, and Yaeko, who was also in the room, had floated back with a soul fragment.
Yueliu walked in with her mobile phone, and heard the words in Conan's mouth:
"There was no smell of gunpowder in the room and a broken whiskey box next to it.
"I think the bomb should have been in a box, that's why there were so many pieces of glass on the hands of the deceased.
"Hey, strange, why is there dirt in this room?"
Yueliu sneered:
"Strange, how do you know so much, Conan?"
Conan came back to his senses, and finally remembered that he was only a child now:
"Uh, this... People see it on TV!
"Uncle Yueliu, don't you check the scene?"
Yueliu directly brought him out:
"Check what the scene, I'm not a policeman.
"You stay honest with me! Don't come to the scene at such a time! ”
Conan looked at him suspiciously:
"But uncle, Uncle Bai Jingxing just said this morning that President Hotta would be killed, and he died in the evening, this is too coincidental, right?"
In a word, let the deceased's eldest son Koichi Hotta find a reason to vent:
"So you're from Bai Jingxing?! Could it be that you made it up to suppress my company's stock? ”
Yueliu looked at Conan speechlessly, does this little ghost know what it means to be his own person?
Before he could start to refute, the second son of the deceased gave Yueliu a performance, what is called Wo Li Heng:
"He was just a guest invited by his father on the road, how could he have the opportunity to plant a bomb and kill people?
"If you want me to say, this murderer is you, right?
"You had to lose a lot of money in overseas markets because of improper operation. For this reason, Dad dismissed you from your position and sent you to the branch.
"I think, you just hated your father, so you killed him!"
Koichi Hotta was very angry, and with the idea that no one should be happy, he exposed the shortcomings of his family:
"Are you embarrassed to say me? You used to be addicted to gambling and owed a lot of money, right?
"I heard that you still owe a loan shark, and Dad has been unwilling to help you repay the money, so you have enough motivation!
"And Fumiko, didn't you cut off your relationship with your father five years ago?
"Why did you come back today?"
The deceased's youngest daughter, Fumiko Hotta, looked at the corpse in the room without joy or sorrow:
"I do still hate him, hate him so much, I hate him to the point of killing him with my own hands!
"But it's true that I didn't do it."
Harumi Hotta smiled:
"I don't know who did this, but I'm really grateful to this murderer."
Yueliu was very speechless, why do you people like to expose your family's shortcomings in front of outsiders?
Could it be that this matter is a tradition on the Japanese side?
Mr. Masahiro Yamauchi, the housekeeper of the villa, ran over panting:
"No, no! The telephone line seems to have been cut with a knife!
"Moreover, the tires were punctured, and we may not be able to go down the mountain to call the police."
Yueliu frowned and glanced at her cell phone signal.
In the afternoon, there was still a little signal in the place where Horita was ploughing, and it was possible to send out a text message, but in this villa, the signal was completely cut off.
If you go out at night to find a signal, it is too unsafe in this kind of wilderness.
Conan chased: "Isn't there a car in the villa that can be driven?" ”
The butler went on to add:
"Mr. Yueliu, Miss Fumiko, and the two young masters' cars are all punctured, and the other cars are ......"
The butler pondered for a while:
"There's still one in the warehouse, but it's been there for a long time, I'm afraid it will need to be repaired before it can be used!"
Ryoji Hotta said impatiently:
"Then let's fix it! What a hassle! I'll go back to my room first. ”
Looking at the back of the three children of the deceased leaving, Yueliu once again felt the uniqueness of Japanese family culture, it was quite ... Filial.
He sighed:
"Conan, let's go back first."
After speaking, he looked down and found that this little ghost with a very low sense of existence had disappeared.
Yaeko pointed in the direction where Fumiko Hotta had left:
"He was on the ground, picked up a necklace, ran over and returned it."
