Next, Mori Kogoro

Chapter 39 [039] Next, the grievances and grievances of the wealthy family, the family members tear each other up
"Qiu Jiang, what do you mean?" Banari Mariko asked anxiously, "Do you know something? Tell me quickly."

"Hehe, I hope Auntie won't be angry after hearing this."

Akie Hashimoto whispered a few words to Mariko Hamoto's ear, and Mariko Hamoto's complexion changed drastically, her lips trembling violently: "This...how is this possible?"

"That's the truth, Uncle Xiang Er knows it too."

Hatake Akie sneered and said, "I heard that Grandpa will announce the matter after returning to Tokyo, so we don't have much time left."

"Are you kidding me? I'm heavily in debt now."

Banner Longnan on the side began to curse and said: "I must get the property, and I will kill anyone who dares to block the way."

Mariko Hatakemoto gritted her teeth and asked, "Then what are your plans?"

As for Xiaolan and others at the bow of the boat, they were still surprised by the acquaintance of Kogoro and Hatakemoto Gozo.

Xia Jiang stammered, "Xiao Lan, I never thought your father and grandpa are acquaintances."

Xiaolan smiled wryly: "I don't know about this either."

"This uncle, how many secrets have I not discovered?"

Conan also looked puzzled.

To be honest, Kudo Shinichi looked down on Mori Kogoro deep down before he got smaller.Because such a man who is greedy for money, lustful, drunk and daydreaming to be a detective is a complete insult to the great profession of detectives.

But after he became Conan and lived in Maori's house, he gradually discovered that the uncle was not as miserable as he imagined.And in several successive cases, the uncle has shown extraordinary sensitivity, usually discovering the truth before he has a clue.

Is the uncle already so strong, or has he become weaker?

Conan fell into a deep confusion.

Soon it was time for dinner, and in the spacious dining room, only the Hatakemoto family and Kogoro four were sitting sparsely.And from the sitting position, it can be seen that this family is alienated and guarded against each other.

Xia Jiang and Xiaolan, Kogoro, and Conan are at the same table, Hagimoto Hoiro and his family are at the same table, Hagimoto Qiujiang is at the same table with his husband, and Hagimoto Shoji is at the same table.

"Strange, why hasn't Xiao Wu come back?"

Xia Jiang said worriedly: "Grandpa shouldn't make things difficult for him, right?"

"It's hard to say, little girl." Hatakemoto Qiu Jiang, who was sitting at the next table, smiled charmingly, "Maybe grandpa is still reprimanding him, after all, grandpa didn't come either."

After Xia Jiang heard it, his face immediately turned pale.

She felt that what her sister said might be true, after all, everyone knew about Hatakemoto Gozo's bad temper.

Fortunately, at this time, Xiao Wu came back, but his face was very ugly.

"Xiao Wu, you are back, we are all waiting for you."

Xia Jiang hurried forward to meet him.

"Sorry, I was thinking about things in my room and I was late by accident."

Xiao Wu forced a smile.

There is no way, seeing that this game of werewolf killing is coming to an end, but at night, the prophet secretly told him that I knew your identity as a werewolf from the beginning, but I just wanted to play, and I just didn’t say anything.Now I give you two choices, either blew yourself up or betrayed, you can figure it out.

Anyone who encounters this situation will not look good.

"Since Xiaowu is here, why hasn't dad arrived yet?" Hokuro Hatakemoto raised his voice, "Butler Suzuki, please go and call the master, okay?"

It's not a coincidence that the butler of the Banner House is named Suzuki.Anyway, the Suzuki butler agreed and left the restaurant.

Not long after, Kogoro's waiting cry sounded.

Well, it's not a woman screaming at all.

But the old man's cry was even worse, not as good as a woman's.

The following plot is very familiar, everyone rushed to hear the sound, and then saw Ban Hao lying in the room covered in blood.

"No one is allowed to enter this room."

Kogoro shouted loudly to stop everyone who wanted to enter the room.Then, like a magic trick, he took out two sets of disposable gloves and shoe covers from his pocket, handed one set to Conan, and then put it on himself to check the status of Hatakemoto Gozo.

Kogoro carefully avoided the blood on the carpet, walked up to Hatakemoto Gozo, knelt down and put his hands on his neck, and quickly shook his head to everyone.

"This place has become a crime scene, and no one else is allowed to enter except me."

"Then what happened to this kid?"

"Oh, he's my assistant."

Kogoro took out another Polaroid camera from his pocket and threw it to Conan casually: "Little devil, don't let me down."

"Don't worry, uncle."

Conan approached the corpse while taking pictures.

Looking at the very professional one big and one small, Hatakemoto Hoiro and others looked at each other in blank dismay.After a while, Mariko Hatakemoto asked in a low voice: "By the way, I haven't asked Mr. Mori what kind of work is it?"

"Huh? Don't you know?"

Xiaolan laughed embarrassedly: "My father is a detective."

"what?"

Everyone looked surprised.

"Then... is your father very powerful?"

Hatakemoto Hokuro stammered and asked.

"It's okay. The last few murders were all caught by my father."

Xiaolan still looked embarrassed.

"Ah, I remembered." Tatsuo Banmoto suddenly exclaimed, "So it was him. I saw his report on TV. It is said that he is a famous detective."

Immediately, everyone's expressions became even uglier, as if they bumped into Zhong Kui just after escaping from the underworld.

"Although I am not a professional forensic doctor, judging from the temperature of the body, the time of death should be four to five 10 minutes ago."

Kogoro said in a deep voice: "The cause of death was stabbing the abdomen with a sharp object, which led to hemorrhage in the internal organs, resulting in excessive bleeding and death."

"The four of us and Xia Jiang were sitting in the restaurant an hour ago, and Butler Suzuki was also in the restaurant, so we are not suspected. The others came to the restaurant one after another within half an hour. so……"

Kogoro stood up and looked at the people outside the door: "Can you tell me where you were before you came to the restaurant?"

Everyone looked at each other and answered one by one.

Then, as Kogoro expected, there is no alibi, so it can be said that they are all suspected.

Of course, Kogoro knew who the murderer was, but this time he didn't reveal the answer so quickly.After all, the grievances and grievances of the wealthy families and the family members tearing each other up are the highlights of this scene.

"No, the room is locked, the only key is in the hands of Butler Suzuki, who can kill the old man."

Banner Tatsuo was the first to react: "So this must be suicide."

"Suicide? What about the murder weapon?"

"Uh... use ice, isn't this a common method used in mystery novels? After committing suicide, the ice melts, so naturally there is no murder weapon."

"Do you think it's possible for a person who committed suicide to expend so much effort?"

"...Anyway, I think it's suicide, are you right?"

Under Tatsuo Banner's coaxing, the others also agreed one after another. None of them spoke out for Gozo Hatamoto who had just died tragically. They only wanted to close the case by committing suicide and settle the matter as soon as possible.
