"Okay, let me first explain why I said Mr. Hatamoto is an elder who dotes on his younger generations."
Yan Kai paused and then said: "As for what a person is like, we should not just look at his appearance, but should ignore the appearance and look at what he usually does."
"I don't care what Mr. Hatamoto does to the outside world. He is a capitalist anyway. He is definitely not a good person. All he makes is dirty money. Takeshi Hatamoto's father was also forced to death by him. There is nothing to say about this."
Yan Kai started with a map cannon. Fortunately, no one here was a capitalist, so everyone nodded.
"Let's see how Mr. Hatamoto treats his family."
Yan Kai organized his speech and said: "According to what Xiaolan said just now, Mr. Hatamoto looked down upon his cowardly son-in-law, the father of the murderer Ichiro Hatamoto. He often scolded him, and he also opposed his daughter and his cousin. The son-in-law is getting married, and he doesn’t like his second son to learn Western cooking. He also doesn’t like Ichiro Hatamoto to learn to paint. He hates Miss Natsue’s sister, Miss Akie, who is a musician... Well, in fact, he should be a second-rate boyfriend. He opposes the relationship between the two, which is most important to him. My beloved granddaughter’s new husband, after finding out that he is the son of an enemy, I don’t think Mr. Hatamoto will like this grandson-in-law.”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu followed what Yan Kai said and took stock of the relationship between Mr. Hatamoto and his family. Well, why did he suddenly feel that this tyrant-like old man was a bit pitiful? Nothing went well at home, even his most beloved one. The cabbage was also eaten by the enemy's pig...
"Then, let's take a look at Mr. Hatamoto. There are so many things in his family that he doesn't understand, but does he force them to do anything?"
Yan Kai continued: "The son-in-law was cowardly and incompetent, but Mr. Hatamoto still let his son-in-law take the position of vice president of Hatamoto Construction and opposed the marriage of his daughter and son-in-law. But in the end, not only did the two get married, but their son also went to college. He didn't like his second son. He learned Western cooking, but he still learned it and was planning to open a store. He didn’t like Ichiro Hatamoto learning to paint, but Ichiro Hatamoto still became an art student.”
"Miss Qiujiang and her boyfriend are two people who are not involved in production at all. Needless to say, Mr. Hatamoto pays for their high-consumption life. As for the two of them being heavily in debt... loan sharks are not fools, they only use money. They lend it to people who are able to repay it, so I guess Mr. Hatamoto must have paid off their debts more than once, so the loan sharks will lend them money with confidence and boldness.
"In the end, even his most beloved granddaughter wanted to marry the child of his enemy. He knew the truth but concealed the matter for the sake of her granddaughter's happiness. He still agreed to their marriage, and even entrusted the son of his enemy with a heavy responsibility... Oh my God. , what a good father and grandfather..."
Yan Kai held his forehead and said.
He couldn't understand why such an old man who almost responded to his children and grandchildren's requests became a tyrant-like existence in the eyes of outsiders.
The only thing that did not satisfy his children and grandchildren was that Ichiro Hatamoto wanted to marry Natsae Hatamoto, but that was because Natsae Hatamoto was his granddaughter, and he could not sacrifice Natsae Hatamoto's happiness in order to satisfy Ichiro Hatamoto's unrealistic fantasies. .
I'm afraid it was because of this incident that Mr. Hatamoto reluctantly allowed Eka Hatamoto to marry the son of his enemy. This was all to cut off Hatamoto Ichiro's thoughts.
"No!" Conan shook his head and said, "Grandpa Hatamoto is not as good as you say. Mr. Shoji even scolded him for borrowing money from him to open a restaurant!"
He had seen this old man curse with his own eyes. He scolded people so fiercely that he looked like a tyrant. Although it was not good to speak ill of the deceased behind his back, he was only telling the truth.
Yan Kai looked at Conan as if he were a fool: "Then let me ask you, has Mr. Xiang Er you mentioned opened a restaurant now?"
"..."
Conan was stunned for a moment. He had indeed met the second son of the Hatamoto family, Shoji Hatamoto, at a banquet before. At that time, he had borrowed money from Miss Natsue and opened the Western restaurant he had dreamed of, and he was very proud of himself.
"But it was Miss Xia Jiang who lent him the money!"
Conan retorted.
Yan Kai sighed: "Didn't Xiaolan say it before? Mr. Hatamoto has made a will. All the property after his death, the position of the head of the Hatamoto family, and the Hatamoto construction will all belong to Miss Xiajiang. So, please tell me, uncle, to his niece Will my niece refuse to borrow money? Especially since this niece is already the president of a large company, Flagship Construction, and the money to open a Western restaurant is just a drop in the bucket for her."
"..."
Conan was stunned again.
"What I say below is completely speculation. You can just listen to it as a story. Just forget it."
Yan Kai pushed up his glasses and said: "Master Hatamoto is already over seventy years old. His energy has declined and he is unable to manage a large company. However, among the second generation of the Hatamoto family, the eldest son who was the intended heir and was the most relied upon died unexpectedly. The son-in-law is cowardly and incompetent and cannot be reused, and the second son only likes cooking and dreams of opening a Western restaurant. Mr. Hatamoto's refusal to lend money to the second son may be his last struggle. Although the second son is not as reliable as the eldest son, he is still somewhat decent and a He can trust the people in the family. He hopes that the second son will surrender to him, give up cooking and inherit the family. If the second son refuses to surrender to him no matter what, then he can only give up the second generation completely and set his sights on the third generation. The third generation, that is, Miss Xia Jiang."
"I know that after listening to Xiaolan's story, you probably think that Mr. Hatamoto handed over the family to Miss Natsue because he liked Miss Natsue. But let me tell you, Mr. Hatamoto does like Miss Natsue, but he chose Miss Natsue as the successor. The heir is completely out of the most rational thinking and has nothing to do with his love for Miss Xia Jiang. If he just loves Miss Xia Jiang, he can leave a trust fund for Miss Xia Jiang and let Miss Xia Jiang live a rich and free life. There is no need to trap her in a cage and let her guard the uneasy Hatamoto family as they age. You have all heard what kind of family the Hatamoto family is. You can tell Miss Natsue and Mr. Shoji, this family is There is no peace of mind. Now that Miss Xiajiang has become the head of the Hatamoto family, she may have a hard time in the future."
"But Mr. Hatamoto has no choice. He knows Miss Xiajiang's character very well. Only when the Hatamoto family is handed over to Miss Xiajiang, will she not treat other family members harshly, and will also share the company's profits with the family members. Waiting for Xiajiang After the young lady became the head of the Hatamoto family, she lent money to Mr. Shoji. Mr. Shoji was naturally convinced by this generous and nostalgic niece, and would fully support Miss Xia Jiang to secure her position as the head of the family. With the support of her second uncle, Mr. Shoji, Miss Xia Jiang Naturally, there will be many fewer obstacles to becoming the head of the family as a woman. This is probably the script Master Hatamoto arranged for his second son and granddaughter."
"I think Mr. Hatamoto would not let Miss Natsue inherit the company if he had other options. If it were Miss Akie who inherited the company... I guess there is a high probability that she would be defrauded of all her money by her second-rate boyfriend and then kicked away. Hatamoto The family is doomed. As for the twisted-hearted Ichiro Hatamoto, it would be better to leave the Hatamoto family in the hands of Ichiro Hatamoto than Miss Akie. She is just stupid and prodigal. She may not be that bad, but Ichiro Hatamoto, I I seriously suspect that the first thing he did after becoming the head of the Hatamoto family was to order Miss Natsue to divorce Takeshi Hatamoto, and then take over Miss Natsue. Don't doubt that such a repressed person who has been suppressed for a long time will do anything when he suddenly gains power. Gotta come out.”
A look of deep disgust appeared on Yan Kai's face, and he obviously had great disdain for Hatamoto Ichiro.
For people in the Confucian cultural circle that values kinship, the crime of "parricide" means that it is unforgivable.
Yan Kai thought for a while and finally added: "Of course, the two of them may not be divorced."
After all, he is from Japan. Not getting divorced might be more to his liking.
"..."
Why does Ma Dan think this guy is right!
Conan couldn't refute Yan Kai's words at all, because what he said was completely consistent with Conan's understanding of Hatamoto's family, well, except for the part about Hatamoto Ichiro.
Busujima Saeko couldn't help but nodded slightly after listening to Yan Kai's analysis, because she agreed with Yan Kai's analysis.
Among them, she is the only one who comes from a large traditional Japanese family, so she knows very well how high the authority of the head of the family can be in a large traditional Japanese family.
Whichever color the head of the house doesn't like, furniture, clothes, and decorations of any color will never be allowed in the home. The likes and dislikes of the head of the house are the likes and dislikes of the whole family.
The marriage of family members must also obtain the consent of the family head, who can directly decide the marriage of family members.
If the head of the family doesn't like the people in the family to study something, then unless he leaves the family, he must not show any interest in that area in front of others.
This is the authority of the head of the family in a traditional Japanese family! Rather than being the head of a family, he is better described as the monarch of the family. The longer the inheritance and the more prosperous the family, the more deeply entrenched this authority is, to the point where no one can defy it.
Busujima Saeko had also heard about the Hatamoto family. It was a local wealthy family that had been passed down for hundreds of years. The family rules were very strict. But look at what the Hatamoto family did. Almost the whole family was against Mr. Hatamoto. Hatamoto They did things that the master didn’t like over and over again!
According to Mao Lilan's description, when Mao Lilan first met Hatamoto Ichiro, he was drawing on the deck of a cruise ship. After Hatamoto passed by, he just cursed him twice, and the reason for scolding him was actually to make him give up his hatred of Hatamoto Natsue. delusion.
Based on Busujima Saeko's understanding of Japan's traditional large families, even those family heads who were not very grumpy would be able to go up and kick Hatamoto Ichiro's easel, and then give Hatamoto Ichiro two big-eared melon seeds with his backhand. , Otherwise, how can we maintain the majesty of our family head? And Mr. Hatamoto actually just cursed a few words and let it go. He is really a good grandpa!
"Junior, please let me slow down..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt that her mind was in a mess. On the one hand, she felt that Yan Kai's analysis was too outrageous, but on the other hand, she felt that these analyzes were very reasonable.
Really, why do I always feel that after getting to know this Central Plains man, my common sense, three views and spirit have been challenged in all aspects?
Even Mao Lilan felt that she was speechless. Is Master Hatamoto really a good father and grandfather? It seems that Miss Natsue did say that her grandfather became emotionally unstable after her wedding. Does that mean that Mr. Hatamoto was actually not as irritable as she saw before?
"Wait a minute, this is not reasoning at all. There is no evidence, it is just conjecture!"
Conan couldn't help but said: "Brother Yan Kai, you don't understand reasoning!"
Without any evidence, just relying on some words and conjectures of Mao Lilan's statement of the case, Mr. Hatamoto's character has been completely reversed. He will not accept this kind of thing!
Yan Kai pushed up his glasses and said very calmly: "Conan, you don't understand people's hearts."
"..."
This sounds so familiar...
Conan felt like he had heard someone say something similar somewhere recently.
Yan Kai continued: "You said I have no evidence, but that's not entirely true. In fact, there is still a little evidence, just in the small details of his death."
"What details?"
Conan couldn't help but ask.
His reasoning and observation of the scene were all flawless, and there shouldn't be any details he missed.
"Death message."
Yan Kai said to Conan.
Conan thought for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Hatamoto did not leave any death message at the scene of his death!"
How could a death message escape the eyes of a famous detective like him? impossible!
"The problem is that there is no death message!"
Yan Kai sighed softly and said: "The murder incident at the Snow Mountain Villa that Xiaolan mentioned before, the deceased Professor Dashan had his hands tied and a knife inserted in his back, but he still tried his best to leave a death message. At that time, Mr. Hatamoto was stabbed in the abdomen. When he had enough energy to retreat to the room and lock the door, he did not leave any clues to identify the murderer. He used his own blood to write a katakana on the ground, or something else. This was not difficult for him, right? Knowing that Master Hatamoto was in a relatively safe environment at that time, Ichiro Hatamoto had no way to enter the room and destroy those clues. He could have written Ichiro Hatamoto's name generously, even if it was just a simple "一" Yes, but the reality is that Mr. Hatamoto did not leave any death message."
After a pause, when Conan was lost in thought, Yan Kai continued: "Because he protected his grandson until his death. If Mr. Hatamoto is really a cold-blooded tyrant who treats his family as slaves, he will never Even when he was about to die, he protected his murderer."
Cold sweat broke out on Conan's forehead. Indeed, this was a detail he had overlooked before.
Mr. Hatamoto was stabbed in the abdomen. Judging from the amount of bleeding at that time, he probably died of excessive blood loss.
This is also common sense. After all, the murderer Ichiro Hatamoto is an art student. It is difficult for ordinary people to kill a person without professional help. In other words, Mr. Hatamoto did have the ability to leave a death message before death, but he But no.
In this case, Takeshi Hatamoto can be the first to rule out suspicion, because Mr. Hatamoto will never protect the son of an enemy, not to mention that the son of an enemy also gave away his most beloved cabbage. The reason why Takeshi Hatamoto was not killed was because of Natsue Hatamoto. How could he protect his face?
Conan has always been very confident about his inner grasp of criminals and victims, but now it seems that, as Ling said before, he actually doesn't understand people's hearts.
Conan sighed, while Yan Kai quietly approached Kasumigaoka Shiyu and asked Kasumigaoka Shiyu in a low voice: "Senior sister, didn't you say you wanted to educate Conan through Xiaolan's investigation model? How to educate him?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was confused, glanced at Mao Lilan, who was deep in thought, and then looked at Yan Kai with inexplicable eyes.
Senior? No, you are my senior! You almost say Xiaolan and Conan are autistic, how are you going to educate them?
