Mikio Fujieda, who was handsome and well-spoken when he was young, coaxed the rich daughter into marrying into the Fujieda family. Mikio Fujieda's wife died half a year ago, and he soon married his current wife Soka Fujieda. .
By the way, Mikio Fujieda is 58 years old and Soka Fujieda is 26 years old.
In addition, living in this home is Mrs. Fujieda's (original wife) brother Fujieda Shigeru. He is a housekeeper and knows Kudo Yusaku. This is why Kudo Yukiko comes here.
Then there are the two long-term workers in the family, Sohachi Ueki, who is the housekeeper, and Sohachi, the somewhat gloomy gardener. They have all been in this family for decades. They have been here since the previous generation of the Fujieda family, and they can be said to have watched Miss Fujieda grow up.
The other servants are hired on a temporary basis and have little connection with the family.
There are only so many people in the family, which is why Fujieda Mikio said that it must be an insider who did what threatened him.
Fei Yingli and Kudo Yukiko talked about their past at the door for a long time. Through the conversation between the two, Xiaolan also recalled a beauty pageant that shocked Tokyo twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, Teidan High School selected the most beautiful female classmates every year, and Fei Eri and Kudo Yukiko, who were in the same class, entered the finals.
The final was so long that even people from other places came to vote for the two of them. The grand occasion was never seen again.
Because the population was too dense, the officials promptly stopped the competition, resulting in no results from the competition that year. In the past twenty years, Didan High School has never held a beauty pageant again.
Then on the way to the reception room, Kudo Yukiko learned the reason why Eiri came. While she was shocked by Mouri Kogoro's lavishness, she also lamented that Eiri remained the same after so many years.
Duplicity.
"Let's go meet Mr. Mikio first and then discuss the rest."
"Now, I won't be able to see the master."
The butler, Mr. Ueki, walked in and handed the tea, "I will lock myself in the audio-visual room at this time, listening to classical music and reading books, so I may have to wait for another hour or two."
The entire villa was equipped with surveillance cameras, even in the audio-visual room. However, it could only capture the first half of the room, but Mikio Fujieda, who was sitting in the middle, was all included in the shot.
As expected, Mikio Fujieda was reading a book while drinking coffee, but the surveillance camera could not record the sound and could not confirm whether he was listening to music.
Everyone looked through several rooms through the cameras set up in the room. Since there was no housekeeper to guide them all the way, Kudo Yukiko pointed at the suspicious person squatting in the garden in the video and asked: "Why is there someone here?!"
The housekeeper Ueki introduced her to Doi's identity, and mentioned that tomorrow is the eldest lady's birthday, and she loved this garden flower most during her lifetime.
It may take about two hours to wait for Mikio Fujieda to come out of the audio-visual room. During this period, everyone will do their own thing.
Fujieda Shigeru went back to continue writing, while Fujieda Soka watched Kudo Yukiko warily from the side. Although she has said it is not the case, she is still wary of beautiful women. The few remaining people began to continue discussing the beauty pageant that year.
At that time, a total of 20,001 votes were distributed to determine the winner, but for some reason only 20,000 votes were taken back in the end, and it was Kudo Yukiko - who was called Fujimine Yukiko at that time and Fei Eri - who had 10,000 votes each.
The two unfortunately ended in a draw.
"Mom, is the ticket you are talking about stamped with gold patterns?"
"Huh? How do you know?"
Mao Lilan recalled, "Because one time I found it among my father's old clothes, and he seemed to have said at that time that this was for voting..."
"Huh?!!"*2
"Whose name is written on the ticket?" Fei Yingli narrowed her eyes, very dangerously, "I think it must be Yukiko, she was really dazzling at the time."
"How could it happen? It must be you Yingli, isn't it Xiaolan?"
"Huh? Uh...the tickets were washed together with the clothes, and I can no longer see who is written on them..."
"Xiaolan, it's not a good thing for a child to lie. Please tell mom if it's your Aunt Yukiko you're writing about." Fei Yingli smiled.
A vein popped out on Kudo Yukiko's forehead, and she gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, Xiaolan, it's okay, don't care about your mother's feelings."
Mao Lilan: "..."
Conan was lucky enough to witness the two people complimenting each other after being forced to tie, and the sour smell of tea in their words after a sudden turn, and he had to sigh that they were indeed good friends who had known each other since high school.
Um? Why is tea sour, you ask?
This is not important.
Fortunately, it was the housekeeper Mr. Ueki who saved them at this time. He pointed at the monitor screen and said in horror: "Master - Master's hand is raised!"
Everyone swarmed around the screen, but the housekeeper Ueki said that there could be no one in the room. He had just brought the coffee in to confirm that no one was inside.
"Look, Mikio has been shot down!"
Everyone turned back to look at the screen. Mikio Fujieda had fallen to the ground, but his face could not be seen due to the angle of the surveillance camera.
"The spare key is in my room!" said the housekeeper.
There is also a distance from the main control room to the audio-visual room. Except for the housekeeper who went back to the room to get the key, the others ran along the corridor and alerted Shigeru Fujieda who was writing in the room to come out to check.
After all, the housekeeper was old and his legs and feet were a little slower. Before he came with the key, the door was kicked open by Xiaolan.
In the room, Mikio Fujieda was lying dead on the ground.
…
"Walk and walk, shake and shake, there is someone throwing it on the east corner of the city, you don't have to go hungry tonight.
Walking and walking, shaking and shaking, the beggar starved to death and his linen clothes became strips.
Walk and walk, shake and shake, the rooster is crowing in the sky, who knows who will be tomorrow..."
The police officer in brown clothes entered the villa. The night wind blew, and someone showed a smile in the darkness.
When the Megure Police Department arrived at the crime scene and did not see the familiar Kogoro Mori but saw the still familiar Conan, he was not surprised and greeted Conan warmly.
Taking advantage of the break in questioning the case, Conan asked about the situation of Officer Takagi and Officer Sato.
"Takagi is still in the hospital, Sato...has already submitted his resignation letter."
"Resign?!" Conan was shocked. He had dealt with Sato a lot, and he was very surprised to hear the news.
"Yes." Megure didn't want to talk too much about this issue, "Sugimoto, how is the situation at the scene."
Officer Sugimoto held the police manual and reported in detail the situation of the scene and the body.
The deceased, Mikio Fujieda, was shot twice and died on the spot.
Among the people present who were related to the deceased, no one had a complete alibi, but they all spent part of their time with everyone.
For example, Shigeru Fujieda was outside the door with everyone when the second gunshot was fired, while Soka Fujieda and Butler Ueki were in the main control room with everyone when the first gunshot was fired and saw Mikio Fujieda fall to the ground. .
As for Tufei Farming, who was out of everyone's sight during the whole process, in addition to having surveillance video as evidence, he was also photographed wandering around with a flashlight in the garden when the gunshots were fired.
No one seems to be the murderer now.
Conan pricked up one ear and listened to the servants identifying the murderer based on the motive, while thinking about what methods the murderer used to complete the crime.
Mao Lilan followed Conan all the way. Looking at the child's mature and rational expression like an adult, she somehow remembered her childhood sweetheart Shinichi.
It seems that Aunt Yukiko is also very familiar with Conan~
