"Mr. Housekeeper, why did Miss Shimizu inform Mrs. Yoko that her daughter was undergoing surgery in the hospital?"
Conan stroked the context of the matter and immediately asked the doubts in his heart.
She was so worried about her daughter that she even braved the stormy weather to rush to her side to be with her...
So, does that mean that Mrs. Yoko didn't know about her daughter...that is, when Miss Xiaoguang was hospitalized?
"That day happened to be the thirteenth anniversary of the death of the old man, because I thought that he might not be able to come back on time..."
Koga Rikuzhong lowered his head, with obvious regret in his eyes:
"I ordered Miss Qingshui to tell Madam the master's message. I didn't expect such an accident to happen."
this……
In other words, Mrs. Yoko did not suddenly learn that her daughter was hospitalized for surgery.
She stayed in this villa at that time to prepare for her death anniversary.
It makes sense that the master is away and the wife is in charge.
No……
Something is wrong.
Something else must have happened here, something serious enough to make Mrs. Yoko even brave the stormy weather to go out...
Hattori Heiji thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "Since it's the anniversary of his death, are everyone else here too?"
"Yes."
Koga Rikuzhong said slowly: "It is precisely because everyone gathered here today that there was even a rumor that the lady would have an accident. In fact, it was a rumor planned by someone..."
These words immediately attracted the attention of the two detective boys.
Hattori Heiji asked: "Is the car Mrs. Yoko drove when she went out her own car?"
"No."
Koga Riku's face was heavy and he whispered: "That car belongs to Mr. Mashin."
"Wait a moment!"
Conan suddenly frowned.
Koga Rikuzo looked at him hesitantly.
"Mr. Butler!"
Conan looked back with a hint of urgency in his tone: "Does Miss Xiaoguang know about what you just said?"
This answer is so important, it directly affects whether the other person is an innocent child living under the protection of his elders, or an avenger who has been hiding for many years.
If it was the latter, that would be simply terrifying... Hattori Heiji's expression was equally solemn.
Koga Riku sighed: "Although the master said he wanted to tell her personally, I think she doesn't know."
No!
She might already know!
And even this morning, if she and the master met but lied about not meeting.
It is very likely that after learning the truth about his mother's accident, he took revenge on the Tokura family!
The evidence is that the first person to die at today's dinner party happened to be Tokura Masobu who lent her mother's car!
"Deng Deng Deng Deng..."
The two of them ran towards the restaurant.
The old housekeeper was a little confused when he saw this scene. He glanced at Ye Gengyi, who was still calm beside him, and tentatively said:
"Uh, um...they are..."
"Children have a rather irritable personality."
Ye Gengyi paused for a moment, then said "oh" softly, and added: "Oh, it's possible that you caught a cold and want to go to the bathroom."
Koga Riku's expression froze: "..."
Officer Otaki, Detective Mori, when will you come back?
Ye Gengyi ignored the other party's eyes.
The reason why he did not rush to the restaurant like the two detective boys was not only because he did not want to interfere with the 'revenge' that did not involve him, but also because, even if there were no flaws exposed by Hanekawa Jouhei, He also didn't think that the murderer of Tokura Mayobu was the maid named Xiaoguang.
When deducing the process based on the results, attention should be paid to the order.
There is no doubt that Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi must have fallen into a certain misunderstanding on this matter.
Because Tokura Kakuya told Xiaoguang the truth this morning, she chose to take revenge?
She also killed the maid half a year ago?
Was she the one who supervised the construction of the secret passage in the villa?
The only person Ye Gengyi can think of for the moment who meets the conditions and has the ability to do all this is Tokura Sakimi.
As for the maid.
If she was an accomplice, she would never have told her that Tokura Yuya sent an email this morning and asked her to meet in the instrument room.
…
Ye Gengyi and Koga Rikuzo then came to the restaurant.
Hanekawa Johei, Tosakura Shina, and Tosakura Ruri, whose husband had just died but was sitting next to Tosukura Kishiji, all stayed here and waited honestly.
Only the maid was missing.
Faced with Hattori Heiji's questioning, Torakura Kishiji leaned over, thinking of the other party's identity as a 'criminal police officer', and said patiently:
"She went to the kitchen to make black tea for everyone."
These guys!
Hattori Heiji took a deep breath and frowned: "Didn't I remind you that you are not allowed to act alone?"
Tosakura Shina held her chin and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Because everyone is thirsty."
The subtext of this sentence is very simple: there is only one maid here, and we are the relatives of the owner of the house. If she doesn't make black tea, who will?
What are you doing! Are these guys idiots? !
Hattori Heiji clenched his fists.
If the maid was the murderer, she would be wiped out with a packet of poison... Ye Gengyi yawned and looked back at Hanekawa Johei, who had focused his attention since he entered the restaurant.
This person seems to be very hostile to himself.
"Is something wrong?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Oh no……"
Hanekawa Johei's cheek twitched: "I want to ask, how long will the investigation last?"
"yes."
Ruri Tokura couldn't help but said: "When will the other police officers come? I've been waiting for so long. Have you contacted me yet?"
Has this woman forgotten about the tunnel collapse?
Ye Geng has very little tolerance for idiots and doesn't bother to pay attention to her at all.
Hattori Heiji had been communicating with Otaki Goro via email. Hearing this, he said helplessly:
"The tunnel may not be opened until tomorrow morning..."
"What?! It will take so long!" Tokura Ruri exclaimed.
Hanekawa Johei hurriedly asked: "Then have you found my treasure?"
The shouting was really intimate, and I didn’t care about others’ stomach discomfort after hearing it...
Hattori Heiji subconsciously rubbed his belly, shook his head and said, "We haven't found it yet."
"Could it be that he was hungry and ran to the kitchen to eat the dumplings made by the two girls?" Tokura Shina said.
"How do you know they are making dumplings?"
Hattori Heiji immediately looked over.
Toyama Kazuye and Mao Lilan were frightened into going to the kitchen to find garlic and make dumplings after the supernatural photo incident...
If he hadn't happened to meet them when he was looking for Tosukura Sakiya separately, we would have to find out how Tosakura Minoru knew about this!
