Conan’s Almighty Extraction - Chapter 353
After thinking about it for a while, officer Henggou guessed some impoliteness: “that is to say, when the master saw that you were not obedient, he burned the fishing rod in anger. What about you, so you have a grudge against the master, don’t you?”
“Mr. police officer, don’t talk disorderly,” Aoye Liangyi glared at officer Henggou and retorted, “how can I kill my father for such a small matter.”
Police officer Henggou didn’t think much. After all, there are countless cases of crimes because of a little thing. He continued to ask, “Mr. Liangyi, please forgive me. Since you are the only son of the master, why don’t you want to inherit your family business?”
“This is because I don’t want to be like my father. My father is arrogant and makes my mother cry every time.”
With a sigh, Aoye replied, “and if I want to really inherit, I have to make speeches and study, and charge high speech fees. What’s different from those younger generations who inherit the family business of other generations? I don’t want to inherit my father’s interests at all.”
Maori xiaowulang was extremely envious of Aoye’s distress and interrupted: “but as long as you inherit it, even after he retires in the future, you can still live a superior life as before. What’s wrong with this?”
Aoye’s eyes flashed a touch of disgust and said bluntly, “I just hate my father’s impure purpose. For this reason, I have left home for a while.”
Housekeeper Huaqi nodded and confirmed: “young master Liangyi is right, but I can’t take care of the master’s life alone, so I asked the young master to move back.”
“The condition of my moving back is that I don’t have to inherit his seat.”
Aoye sighed and said helplessly, “it doesn’t matter if you just want me to help manage and operate. Anyway, I’m his son after all, but he insisted that I succeed him.”
“Operation and management?” Conan suddenly asked, “brother Liangyi, you should know the total amount of property of qingyemu enterprise, right?”
After hearing this, officer Henggou moved in his heart and guessed with a trace of malicious bias: “I see. If your father died when you haven’t decided on the successor, you can inherit his seat in good faith. At that time, the throne of the tea master will naturally be yours.”
“You are so rude!” housekeeper hanazaki glared at officer Henggou and explained, “the young master came back this time because the master’s health is getting worse and worse, and only because he was worried about his father’s health.”
“Needless to say, thank you, aunt hanazaki.” Kiyoshi Aono was not angry. He gently waved his hand to stop the quarrel between housekeeper hanazaki and police officer Yokogawa, with a clear conscience on his face.
When police officer Henggou was ready to continue his inquiry, Mao xiaowulang suddenly thought of something and asked a key question.
“Officer Henggou, when the master was killed, all the people sitting in the room, including Mr. Liangyi, were in this room. Even if someone killed him in the past, we would definitely see it on the balcony. However, at that time, I had been sitting on the chair on the balcony to rest, but I had never seen anyone go to the tea ceremony room.”
Maori Kogoro’s words mean that everyone has a perfect alibi. Coupled with the secret room state of the crime scene, the nature of the case immediately tilted in the direction of suicide.
“By the way, miss Sancun seems to have brought something in from outside. She seems to be afraid of being noticed, but later she didn’t see the boxed item, which means she must have hidden it. However, time was so tight at that time, she must have hidden it on the first floor of the main house.”
Conan, who has been looking for clues, suddenly thought of this and quickly told Bai Yan Zhenyu about it, so they quietly went to the first floor to look for what miss Sancun brought back.
Soon, Bai Yan and Zhenyu found something wrapped in purple cloth in a room. After opening it and checking it, they found that it was a set of exquisite ancient tea sets. If they guessed correctly, it should be something that miss Sancun was going to bribe master qingyemu. No wonder she has been avoiding talking about this.
After Bai Yan and Zhenyu returned, they heard officer Henggou ask housekeeper Huaqi, “according to what you said before, the master pasted a spell in the tea room because he was afraid of the magic things in the lake. He didn’t come out all day. Not only that, he reacted violently as long as anyone was close to him, right?”
Housekeeper hanazaki nodded and admitted, “yes, that’s why we installed anti-theft sensors.”
Officer Henggou touched his chin and said thoughtfully, “in this way, the possibility of attack from the outside of the residence should be very low. Moreover, there are ponds around the tea ceremony room and the only corridor bridge connecting the main house. Anyone who passes here can definitely see it. It seems that it should be a suicide case.”
At this time, miss Sancun and kencang shouxiong, who were whispering at one side, suddenly had a dispute for some reason.
Miss Sancun pointed at yasukura shouxiong with a folding fan and angrily scolded: “no mistake. You send yourself expensive tea sets and want to win over the master secretly. This move is really clever, but you also know that the master is not so stupid.”
Yancang shouxiong sneered and replied with disdain: “you are almost the same yourself. In order to get the master’s throne, you don’t hesitate to risk the collapse of the company and invest a lot of money here.”
Seeing that the two accused each other and there were faint signs of expanding the scope of the quarrel, officer Henggou quickly opened his mouth to dissuade him and said, “wait a minute, you two. What I want to ask is just the ordinary person of the master.”
“Hum.”
Miss Sancun didn’t want to show her impolite side in public. She proudly snorted, took a sip of the tea cup, suddenly noticed something wrong, and looked down at the tea set in her hand.
When she saw the situation of the tea set, she immediately looked cold. She put the tea set heavily on the table and asked, “Mrs. hanazaki, what’s the matter with this tea cup? There are cracks on it!”
“Sorry, Miss Kimura, please forgive my negligence.” housekeeper hanazaki saw his mistake and quickly bowed to miss Kimura to apologize.
The unhappy miss Sancun took the opportunity to reprimand: “I think you usually just pay attention to the surface. You’ve never seen what’s going on inside.”
“Only pay attention to the surface?”
Miss Sancun’s careless words reminded Bai Yan Zhenyu. After walking to the balcony to observe the lake, he finally understood how the murderer successfully sneaked into the tea ceremony room when everyone enjoyed the lake scenery.
