39 Chapter 39
As shocking as Edogawa Conan, there is also Zhufu Jingguang who came one step behind.
He stood outside, and the moment he saw the situation inside, he decided to turn around and leave, so fast that he didn't even react to Mao Lilan, who was coming with him.
"Huh?" The long-haired girl stumbled on her feet, took two quick steps forward before stopping, she turned her head to look at the door of the storage room not far away, and then looked at the man next to her who looked like he had four big words written on his face, 'I'm not doing it', and a question mark popped out of his head.
"Why don't you go in and see what's going on?"
"Nope." Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled, "A few of them should be able to completely solve the situation inside, I don't think we should go in and make trouble." β
And he really didn't want to be in the same room with those three guys, it would remind people of being forced to juggle between these three guys and Gin four years ago, which was like yesterday.
And every time the two of them quarreled, he had to take care of the green tea leopard, and he was physically and mentally exhausted from morning to night!!
Thinking of this, Zhu Fu Jingguang took a deep breath.
It's only been two years since he faked his death and left, and the young tame who originally scoffed at the intricate relationship between Ley, Gin, and Columbeth has been completely mixed in the middle, and even followed in Ley's footsteps to snatch people from the green tea leopard and Gin......
And if he's not mistaken, didn't he just get the news that Gin and Colebeth were together some time ago...... Dare to insert it in this case, zero... What have you learned in the past few years in the organization alone......
With a mind full of questions, Zhu Fu Jingguang dutifully blocked the others out, and did not let them in, causing the whole picture to be too chaotic.
After a while, the people inside finally came out, and all three of them looked as usual, as if nothing had happened just now, only Edogawa Conan, who was walking at the back, vomited his soul, like a walking corpse.
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at this boy, as if he saw himself a few years ago.
A few minutes later, everyone gathered in the hall again, and the small number of old flashlights had run out of power when they had just acted, and they lit the candles taken from the storage room before relighting the living room of the villa.
"I'm back with a medical kit." After learning that someone was trapped in the storage room, Yasuda hurriedly went back to the room and got a small medical kit, "Are you injured somewhere?" β
When he arrived, Ikekawa had already wiped the dust off her knees, the front of her calves, and her hands with the wet towel from the maid of Xuya, and there were no wounds except for the red marks on her knees that had been pressed by touching the ground for too long.
"Young Master Zhi, I already asked just now, and neither of them was injured." The maid put away the wet towel and responded.
"That's great." After seeing that neither Ikekawa Nai nor Okiya were injured, Yasuda Tomokashi breathed a sigh of relief, "I was really shocked when I heard Miss Xiaolan say that the shelves in the storage room fell down and trapped you inside, it's too dangerous......"
Behind the two of them, Sayuri Yasuda, who was sitting on the sofa and hadn't paid attention to other people, raised one eyebrow high, "Ha, so I said a long time ago that the ragged shelves and dirty rooms should not be used anymore, but one person kept saying that the things in it were necessary and could not be thrown away, so they were not rebuilt, and I just thought it was troublesome to clean up and was unwilling to do it." β
"Madam, the candles and other things in it are indeed ......" immediately reacted that the other party was accusing herself, and the maid subconsciously retorted, but her voice gradually weakened in the other party's eyes, "... I'm so sorry. β
"Mom, don't say it anymore......" Yasuda Zhi frowned and said in a low voice.
Looking at the two people in front of her, the woman sitting on the sofa stood up, signaled that she wanted to go back to the room, and left without hindrance.
"It's really ......" to stop him, Mori Kogoro rubbed his wrist, which was a little sore because of carrying firewood, and muttered, "This character is too bad, and it's really hard to be her son." β
When the son of the difficult lady heard this, he just smiled and shook his head.
Soon, Yasuda Tomo had embarrassment on his face
With a helpless look, he lowered his head and packed up the medical kit in his hand, and said, "Since I am not injured, then I will put the medical kit back first." β
"In that case, I'll help guide the way." Seeing that it was a little inconvenient for the other party to hold a suitcase in one hand and a candle in the other, Mao Lilan got up and took the unstable candle tray and walked in front, "Is Mr. Yasuda a doctor?" Because very few people will have a medical kit or something like that in their room. β
"Huh? I'm not a doctor, I'm just used to it. The man smiled, "Because in the past, there were always people in the university club who would get injured during activities, so I, as the president, always prepared medical kits and other things and brought them with me during activities." β
"I see."
The sound of the two talking gradually faded away, and Edogawa Conan withdrew his gaze from looking over there, turned his head and whispered to the maid Xuya, "Sister Xuya, may I ask how long that shelf has been in place, and it can collapse so badly." β
"The shelf... Come to think of it, I heard the maid lady say that she has been in the storage room since the old man repaired the villa more than 20 years ago, and has not changed it since. By the way, I'm going to have to pour everyone coffee. β
After repairing the villa twenty years ago and moving in......
Edogawa Conan frowned, and his expression changed suddenly.
No, he remembered that at that time, the man was clearly ......
Another guess suddenly came to his mind, and the boy jumped off the couch and ran towards the place where Mao Liran and Yasuda had left.
After confirming this speculation, he returned to the scene of the crime as soon as he came out of the room, but saw an unexpected figure inside.
Okiya Pleiades didn't know when he came to Yasuda Ichiro's room, and was thinking about something on the phone, and when he saw Edogawa Conan come in, he casually explained, "Now it's my turn to guard here." β
So you just took advantage of your position to come in and investigate......
complained a little in his heart, and the little detective with eyes walked over in a few steps, looking down at the mobile phone that the pink-haired graduate student had been looking at just now, "Is there any problem?" β
He squinted his eyes and carefully examined the phone under the cabinet, as if it had fallen so far away from the corpse when he took it off, and there were some bumps in the upper left corner.
"Look here." Okiya crouched down and reached out and tapped the bottom of the cabinet.
The boy frowned, carefully avoiding the blood stains below and lowered his head to get in, and when he saw the situation above the cabinet, his eyes widened instantly, and he reacted to something, "Bloodstains!" β
There was a less obvious trail of blood, as if it had been left behind by something dragging it, a very thin and long snaking around the bottom and bottom of the cabinet, but the phone placed in the middle was clean and clean, without any traces of blood.
It appears that the call was thrown on the carpet after Yasuda Ichiro's death......
The water pipes in the room, the traces of fishing line and water on the ground, the mobile phone that was thrown up later, and the balcony.
Putting all the clues together, Edogawa Conan's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up from under the cabinet, almost hitting his forehead because the movement was too fast.
He got it! The murderer's modus operandi and how to get the dead Yasuda Ichiro to call, he figured it all out. Now only evidence remains......
Thinking of this, the boy ran to the balcony in a few steps to look up, and immediately set off after confirming the location of the room on the third floor.
Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Okiya shook his head, he put on his gloves and took down a landline placed next to the bed in Yasuda Ichiro's room, and checked the situation of this old machine.
When he ran to the room on the third floor and saw the familiar person again, the corners of Edogawa Conan's mouth twitched a few times, and the mood that had been excited because of the most critical step was suddenly extinguished by something else.
Didn't you two just look like you weren't going to give an inch? Now forget Mr. Ikekawa, who was caught in the middle, in the living room, one went to the scene of the crime to investigate, and the other came here to investigate......
Shaking his head, he shook off the strange picture in his mind and the embarrassment of being forced to watch just now, and Edogawa Conan ran to the window of the room on the third floor
"Mr. Amuro, I have an idea. β
"What a coincidence, Conan, I also have a guess about the modus operandi." Amuro pushed open the window in front of him and pointed to the roof of the villa, "Do you want to go up and have a look?" β
Immediately realizing that the other party's guess was the same as his own, the boy immediately smiled and nodded, and with the help of the other party, he stepped on the pipes and exterior decorations from the window and climbed onto the roof, and as soon as he went up, he saw what he was looking for.
"I found ββ!" Coming up without gloves, he had to wrap these things in clothes first, and Edogawa Conan shouted down, "It's just ...... now"
As he said this, he was looking down from the roof, and when his gaze touched a very inconspicuous patch on the wall below, the boy's words suddenly froze, and then his eyes were brighter than before, "Mr. Amuro! Look at the wall on the right side of the window, isn't itβ"
Amuro, who had been searching around the window, leaned his upper body out and used his flashlight to shine a flashlight on the raised window edge on the right side below, and quickly found the place the little detective said.
"It turns out to be this ......" After seeing the marks on it, the man had a sure smile on his face, "It seems that I can already ask Miss Oya to help call everyone to the living room." β
ββ
Ten minutes later, Yasuda Tomo, who went back to the room to place the medicine box, Yasuda Sayuri, who went back to the room to rest, and Okiya Pleia, who was in charge of guarding the scene of the crime, were all called to the living room, and Mori Kogoro, who didn't know that his apprentice had solved the case, was still lying on the sofa napping, and he barely woke up until someone spoke.
"You'd better have something important." Sayuri Yasuda yawned, her face full of impatience, "I just fell asleep, and I woke me up like this." β
"Sorry to disturb your rest. But I don't think it's too late to rest after the case is solved. Amuro answered with a smile.
"...... cracking the case?" Hearing these words, the woman's face was not very good-looking, "So, you already know who killed my husband?" β
"Amuro, do you mean you've solved this case?" Mori Kogoro's voice came from the other side.
"Yes." The blonde-haired and black-skinned man skillfully put on the same set of expressions and movements that belonged to Toru Amuro, "Because you haven't interfered in this case much this time and want to give me a chance to exercise on your own, I think I must not live up to Master's kindness, and I have been investigating just now."
Thanks to Master's usual teachings, I have almost solved it. β
This guy is too good at talking, obviously Uncle didn't intervene in the case, but his brain was confused, and he couldn't find any other clues at all......
Edogawa Conan bent his half-moon eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth and quickly looked away.
And he looked at Amuro with an indescribable look, and Ikekawa Na, who had been next to him without interjecting anyone's topic.
He put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at the blonde detective waiter with a sunny smile in front of him, and remembered the appearance of Bourbon he had seen not long ago, and only felt that these guys had gone to study in two of them.
Isn't that guy Shuichi Akai stress-free to pretend to be a 27-year-old graduate student?
He took a sip of his coffee, and then looked at Mori Kogoro not far away to see if he didn't match the image of the detective in the news, and wondered.
How the hell does this guy usually solve the case?
Beside him, Amuro paused for a moment and continued, "Before cracking the case, I would like to ask Miss Oya. Has President Yasuda been staying in his room lately? β
"Yes, yes."
Suddenly asked like this, Xuya's maid's body was a little tense, she nodded and added, "Since the company had some problems, it has been like this for the past few days. β
"And how did he ask you to bring your daily meal?"
"What do you ask for......" The maid was stunned for a moment, then gestured with her hand, "Just like today, call the restaurant by landline, and then ask me to bring dinner to the room......"
"Is that what you want?"
Okiya, who had been standing next to him, suddenly interjected, he took out the things in his pocket and pressed the button on it, and Yasuda Ichiro's voice soon sounded in the living room.
"Hey, Xu Ya. Is dinner ready? Dinner will be brought directly to my room in a moment, and I won't go down......"
"Isn't this what President Yasuda said when he called before......" Mao Lilan said, suddenly reacting to something, "It's a recording, and President Yasuda's phone call at that time was actually just a recording!" β
Amuro gave a smirk to the guy who found the landline phone recording, and when he turned to the long-haired girl, the smile was more sincere, "Yes, President Yasuda's call was not made by himself, but recorded." The killer cut the recording of him asking Miss Oya to serve dinner with other recordings, creating the illusion that he was called away in the middle of the call.
In fact, before that phone call came, President Yasuda was already dead. β
"What do you mean? Wouldn't that mean everyone had a chance to kill him?! Hearing this, Sayuri Yasuda's face was ugly.
"It's not all of them." Conan Edogawa added in a childish tone, "If you want to use this recording, you must know that President Yasuda has been asking for food to be brought to him in the past few days, and that he has the opportunity to record this recording." β
Maori Kogoro frowned: "This ......"
"In this way, the murderer can only be the person who has been living in this villa. That is, Mrs. Sayuri Yasuda, one of Mr. Yasuda Tomo and Miss Oya. β
"Huh? One of us is a murderer? Sayuri Yasuda's brows furrowed a little tighter, and her voice was sharp, "Then you can tell me how the murderer committed the crime?" is so impatient to put the charge on our heads, I think you guys are obviously trying to clear the suspicion of the young master sitting next to him because of selfishness, right?! β
Once again, it was obviously just an onlooker, and he didn't even bother to watch but was detained: .......?
"Don't think I don't know which housekeeper will share a room with his employer." The woman sneered, "With your relationship, isn't it natural to want to help you, the suspect who lives next to you and is the most convenient to do anything or anything, to clear the relationship?" β
Maori Kogoro had a confused expression: "Relationship...?" What relationship? Amuro, you and that young master ......"
"Dad!" Reaching out again to cover the detective who didn't turn his brain around, Mao Lilan whispered urgently, "Don't ask about this yet!" β
"Don't be impatient, please listen to my reasoning about this case before making a decision, and see if I'm just helping to clear my suspicion because of my relationship." Amuro didn't seem to be affected by the questioning words at all, he glanced at Sayuri Yasuda, who turned his head with an irritated expression, and Yasuda Tomo, who was next to him who whispered to persuade her, and continued to speak.
"I think the murderer should have gone to Ichiro Yasuda's room first while everyone was leaving the table and waiting for dinner, and asked him to open the door on the pretext of discussing things, and then killed him."
Seeing that Sayuri Yasuda didn't say anything to refute, the blonde detective continued, "Then he locked the door of his room, left from the balcony and returned to his room, and went to the restaurant with the others as if nothing happened, and when the time was almost up, he used the mobile phone hidden in his pocket to dial the landline of the restaurant, and then played the recording, pretending that Ichiro Yasuda himself called, and was killed during the call, in order to clear his suspicion." After arriving at the scene of the crime with the others, the murderer took advantage of the chaos to throw the mobile phone in his pocket under the cabinet. β
"Do you have any proof?"
"Of course there is evidence." Edogawa Conan raised his mobile phone and showed the photo he had just taken of the situation under the cabinet to a few people, "This is what Brother Amuro asked me to take just now, you see, if the phone was there very early,
There must be blood marks on it, too. Even if the phone was dropped in the last step, the blood on the ground should not have dried when it fell on the ground, and there should be traces on the back of it. But the phone turned out to be exceptionally clean and there was nothing. β
"But, but, ......" Looking at the photo seriously, the maid Xuya opened her mouth, but still retorted in a low voice, "If Master Yasuda is before."
If he was dead, the wound would not have been like that, and when we went, the wound on his forehead looked like it had just been smashed out......"
"I'm afraid this is the result of the mechanism, right?"
Okiya touched his chin and told the clues and results he found in Yasuda Ichiro's bedroom earlier, "For example, place the murder weapon on the cabinet next to the corpse, and then set up a mechanism, and when the time comes, the things on it will fall down, just above the head of Yasuda Ichiro, who has died, because he has just died less than half an hour, so the wound is no different from the one smashed out before his death at first glance." β
"Sister Xuya, there should be a lot of frozen ice cubes in the refrigerator in the kitchen, right? I saw a lot of them when I went to get juice before. β
Hearing the boy suddenly ask this question, the maid was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Indeed... Because it's going to be used to make drinks and ......."
"I guess the timer is made of ice, right? When the ice cube is almost melted, the mechanism will automatically activate, just like ......" Showing the whole operation method of the mechanism that he just thought of to the others, Edogawa Conan paused, and turned to Okiya, "As for these mechanisms, when the ice cube melts, it will naturally be invisible, and the things that will help the mechanism run will fall down the pipe next to it and reach the storage room, so naturally it will not appear at the scene of the crime." I think this thing to help the mechanism run should be ......"
"Fishing line."
In the dim light, the young man's clear voice rang out.
Several people subconsciously followed the sound to look, only to see Ikekawa Na, who was sitting at the farthest point, hooked the corners of his mouth after speaking, put his hand into the pocket of his coat, and took out the silk thread that was randomly nested in a ball from it, "Or can it be said that it is a blood-stained fishing line?" β
"It's ...... Brother Ikekawa, where did you find this?! Conan Edogawa took a few steps over, took the slender fishing line from the man's hand, and quickly matched the blood stains on it with the marks at the crime scene.
"Pantry." He yawned slightly, showing a lack of interest in finding the key items, "The shelf suddenly collapsed so widely for this reason, if it was messed up like that, no one would notice why fishing lines or something else suddenly appeared inside." β
Unfortunately, he was hiding under the table, which happened to be the ventilation duct in the basement and the room on the second floor.
"No, have you forgotten the most important point?" Sayuri Yasuda quickly noticed a loophole in the previous statement and asked, "How did the murderer leave the balcony after killing someone?" Ikekawa was in the room at the time, and it was impossible to walk through his room, and if he walked from below, he would definitely leave footprints in the snow. β
"No matter how reasonable and perfect your speculation is, if there is no way to explain it here, it is just a blind ......."
"If you can't walk from below, can't you just walk from above?" Amuro looked at the other party's expression and said the words that almost identified the murderer, "Wouldn't it be nice to use the climbing rope hanging from above to reach the room on the third floor from the balcony on the second floor." β
"Hmmm! I've seen it all just now, even if the snow is heavy today, it shouldn't be so big that it can crush all the branches, and the incisions at the broken wires are neat, which is man-made. β
Flipping back a little and flipping the album over the photo of the wire, the boy held up his phone again, "Because if you act like this, you will definitely leave a lot of things to deal with, and it will be better for your actions in the dark." And only when the power goes out and someone goes to get the candles can it be made that all of them collapse because those shelves are in disrepair and are touched by someone. β
"Look, this is the climbing rope that Brother Amuro found on the roof of the villa."
The fact that the climbing ropes, matching tools, and fishing lines were found fully proved to be correct. The maid frowned and looked at the climbing rope, then suddenly squeezed out an exclamation from her throat, and turned her head to look at Yasuda Tomoshi behind her in a daze.
Yasuda Tomo, who hadn't spoken since just now, frowned and looked away from the familiar rope.
"I remember that my brother Yasuda said that there are always people in the university club who will be affected by the event
injury, that's why a medical kit is prepared in the room. Edogawa Conan looked up at the man, and the lens suddenly reflected a light, "May I ask Brother Yasuda, what club did you belong to at that time?" β
β...... Climbing Club. After a long silence, Yasuda said. But soon, he turned his head to look at a few people, and there was no panic on his face that he was being corrected, "But I can't just say that I did it because I joined the climbing club, right?" It's also possible that someone else took my rope and equipment and did it, and climbing this section of the wall is not a difficult thing, as long as you want to do it, you can learn it in a few days. β
"It seems that Mr. Yasuda is very experienced and knows that there are a lot of pipes and exterior decorations on that section of the wall, so it is easier?" Amuro answered with a smile, and before the other party was annoyed, he asked the next question, "I remember that you didn't wear these shoes before, did you go back to the bedroom to change them before dinner?" β
Yasuda was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the other party to notice this kind of thing, a little panic flashed on his face, and he quickly controlled it, "Yes, because I didn't like the style of the shoes before, so I went back to the room and changed my shoes, is there anything wrong with this?" Is it because you change your shoes that you will be suspected of being a murderer? β
"Of course not, but if there is blood on the shoes you replaced, then you are very suspicious."
The blond-haired man squinted his eyes and looked at the other party, "Why did you suddenly change your shoes, I'm afraid it's because you didn't find out that your shoes were splattered with blood until you returned to your room, right?" And it should not be in the sole of the shoe, otherwise there will definitely be shoe prints in the deceased's room. It's above the shoe, so you don't notice until you're in the room. β
"Don't spew blood, even if there is blood on my shoes, maybe I accidentally got it when my father was injured, you have no evidence to prove that I ......"
When he said this, Yasuda was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, and then he suddenly looked up at the man in front of him.
"You've reacted, haven't you?" Amuro's eyes narrowed slightly, "When I went back to the room to wipe the upper of my shoes, it was obvious that there was a little blood on them. I'm afraid that when you climbed from the balcony to the third floor, the upper of your shoe rubbed against the wall, and although you had wiped the blood off the edge of the window, you ignored a very remote position. β
It was strange that this kind of room, where no one came, was spotless, even the window rim below and below the outside was spotless, as if someone had just wiped it for some purpose.
"It just so happens that the blood stains on this are very special, as long as you compare the pattern and shape of the blood stains with your shoes, you should have a quick result."
The young man opened his mouth, unable to refute any longer, but lowered his head and staggered his gaze from the others.
"How can this be...... "Mao Liran took a few steps back and looked at Yasuda Tomoshi in disbelief, "Isn't President Yasuda Mr. Yasuda's father... Why is it ......"
"I think President Yasuda shouldn't be the biological father of Brother Yasuda."
A childish child's voice sounded in the dim living room, and several people who were originally looking at Yasuda Tomo, who was accused of being the murderer, subconsciously turned their heads and looked at the boy next to the sofa.
"Because Brother Yasuda said before that when you were a child, you used this method to contact your friends by putting a note written on it in your friend's mailbox. But Sister Oya said before that President Yasuda has lived here since 20 years ago, and if that's the case, there shouldn't be a way to contact friends like this. He tilted his head and seriously said his guess, "So, Brother Yasuda must not have lived in the villa when he was a child." β
"But even if it's just a stepfather... Lord Yasuda has always been very nice to you and your wife, hasn't he? The maid bit her lower lip, her body trembling slightly, "How can you ......?"
"Good for me? No kidding. Yasuda sneered and clenched his fists, "It's all a lie, I used to think that he was really good to me, and even really grateful to him, because he helped us pay off our debts after my biological father was forced to commit suicide by the high debt caused by the company's bankruptcy, and he has always taken good care of us." β
"Even until he got married to his mother, I was very happy. Who knows that it won't be long before he seems to be a different person,
Before, those things were just pretended to be for his mother and biological father, but after he got his hands on them, he beat and scolded us every day, and pretended to be good to his family in front of outsiders. β
His expression was distorted at the mention of the word 'family', "Even... Even what I am most grateful for is that he had planned to take care of us at the darkest time, this guy was the real murderer who forced my biological father to death, and took advantage of the contract loophole to make him indebted, driving him to the point of suicide.
Then he put on a sympathetic look to take care of us...... It's disgusting! I actually called my father-killing enemy for so many years, father! β
β...... Was it him back then? Yasuda Sayuri planted her whole body backwards, and only then could she stand firm on the wall behind her.
"It's him, he confessed before I killed him. In a show-off-like tone...... I couldn't take it anymore, especially when I found out that he had been in some trouble lately, borrowing a bunch of debts from all over the place in order to change identities and flee abroad, and then pile all the mess and arrears on me and my mother. β
"So you're going to do it."
During the conversation between the few people, Ikekawa Nai frowned because of the information just now.
Yasuda Ichiro was originally going to fake his death and get out...... It's a bit strange, if he really has the organization-related evidence in his hands, with his greedy and desperate character, he must go back to the police for help, instead of taking a huge risk to prepare for these things alone.
Unless he doesn't have any chips at all, the USB flash drive in his hand that is said to have organized secrets is just a disguise, just trying to delay time for himself.
Confirming this guess, and not bothering to stay here any longer to see what would happen next, he stood up, took his own candle, nodded at Maoliran, and walked towards his room.
As he left, he took out the small USB flash drive, looked at it carefully, and put it back in his pocket.
The information is eliminated and the relevant people die, which can be regarded as the completion of the mission.
With this in mind, he continued to walk in the direction of the stairs, and the conversation continued.
"yes, so I'll do it. Very wonderful reasoning. A slight smile barely appeared on Yasuda's face, which quickly dissipated, "But I didn't say anything, I didn't go back to the room on the third floor to wipe the blood, and when I returned to the room to find that my shoes were stained with blood, it was too late, whether it was the organ or dinner, it was ready, and then Mr. Mori asked everyone to gather, so I didn't have time to go there again." β
"It's true that you've been with us since the crime to reduce suspicion, and then you want to go back to the storage room to destroy the evidence, and you really don't have time to wipe off the blood-stained shoe prints that are enough to be used as evidence." Amuro frowned, then thought of something, and looked up at Sayuri Yasuda, who had been refuting him before, "... It seems that someone helped you eliminate this evidence. β
Yasuda Zhi subconsciously looked at the maid Xuya behind her, her eyes widened slightly, and she waved her hand again and again, and whispered, "No, I didn't ...... at the time"
"I went to the third floor at that point in time, and I remember that it was only ......" Mori Kogoro frowned, "Mrs. Yasuda?" β
This name stunned the young man, whose expression had calmed down, and turned his head to look at his mother, who had always been very mean to him.
Under the eyes of everyone, Sayuri Yasuda lowered her eyes and took out a handkerchief stained with water and blood from her pocket.
"It's me." She confessed, casually throwing the handkerchief stained with Yasuda Ichiro's blood on the ground.
"Why, why ......" Yasuda looked at her, his voice stammering a little.
"Actually, I don't know why." The woman sneered, as if laughing at her own stupid behavior, "Obviously it has nothing to do with me, and I have to take responsibility for doing this kind of thing." But after discovering shoe prints on the window edge and confirming that he was the murderer... By the time I came to my senses, I had already wiped the blood off it. β
She shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe it's just because I'm his mother, probably no parent doesn't love their children....
.. Even though I'm supposed to be the meanest and worst mother in the world. β
The footsteps that were heading for the stairs stopped at this moment, and a gust of wind suddenly blew out the candle flame that was already flickering in the black-haired man's hand. Away from the other candlelight in the living room, Ikekawa Na suddenly fell into darkness before her eyes.
'It's so pitiful, I was used as an experimental subject by my own parents......
It hurts...... It's cold......
'I've never heard of Dr. Ikekawa having children before, and they live in the lab almost all year round, so did they leave him alone at home before?' β
'I guess I've got a babysitter or something, right?' Let's not talk about that... What about the left eye? β
Surgical light ...... It's glaring... It hurts......
'It's not good, at first I thought it was an artificial eye, but it turned out to be done directly to the original eye... It's crazy, I don't know what they're doing, the eye color is... Let's get the medicine first. β
'Hey, what are you doing?' His orders were not to be anesthetized. β
It hurts......
But...... Got it, hand me the scalpel. Sorry......
It hurts!!!
Ikekawa reached out and covered her left eye.
The moment his hand touched his skin, he immediately reacted to where he was, and after recovering from his sudden distraction, the man immediately held his breath and did not let himself make any sound, even his breathing was inaudible.
The phantom pain of the scalpel and sharp needle piercing the eye dissipated at the moment of wakefulness, and became a dull swelling pain in the left eye and ipsilateral temple that had been coming from time to time since the eye drops were stopped.
Skillfully reaching out and slightly rubbing her temples twice, she turned her head to look at the mother and son who were silently staring at each other, Ikekawa Na picked up the lighter on the cabinet next to her, lit the candle that had just been blown out, and continued to walk upstairs towards her guest room that temporarily belonged to her.
The back of the neck is still very hot, and the cold temperature in the room has not lowered the heat, but has a tendency to burn more and more.
And... The moment he had just fallen into darkness, a huge sense of instability and a slight suffocation, made a ridiculous idea almost immediately appear in his mind.
I want to find a soft and warm place, and bury it with clothes and quilts, preferably clothes with a familiar atmosphere, which can wrap him in layers......

In the living room, Amuro frowned and looked at the back of the other party leaving, his face condensed.
By the dim candlelight, he saw only that the man who had been in no interest suddenly stopped, and there was no expression on the side face illuminated by the candlelight when he turned his head, which could be called condensation, and then he could not see anything as the candle flame was extinguished.
When the candle flame was lit again, he was back to his usual form, and he couldn't see anything wrong.
And when I was at Charo Winery before......
Thinking of this, he frowned and looked at Okiya Pleiades not far away.
He must have known something, and he must have learned something more important during his time as Ley. οΌοΌοΌ.
