On the eve of leaving for the Aphrodite, Sotakuya went to Suzuki's house for a family dinner.
During the meal, Suzuki Shiro used the Yashiro Group as a topic of conversation and told So Takuya about the development history of the Yashiro Group.
Fifteen years ago was the most dangerous time for the Eight Generations Group, and it was also the time when they began to rise.
"Fifteen years ago... Could it be?!" Conan suddenly had an idea and looked up at Sotakuya.
"That's right, it's what you think. At the most critical moment of the Yashiro Group fifteen years ago, the old Daiichi Yashiro Maru cargo ship hit an iceberg and sank.
The insurance company paid a huge sum of money to Yashiro Group.
Yashiro Group, which received a large amount of cash flow, turned the corner.
The original radical measures also allowed Yashiro Group to make considerable profits because of the support of follow-up funds. "
“Fortunately among misfortunes, although the cargo ship No. 1 Yashiro Maru hit an iceberg and sank, there was no loss to the crew.
Only the captain of the Yashiro Maru, the main person responsible, and an innocent crew member died inside. "
“As for the Yashiro Group, all they need to pay is the compensation for the innocent crew member.
This small amount of money is nothing compared to the huge insurance company compensation that Yashiro Group has just received. "
"So there is no misunderstanding between Mr. Kusaka and Chairman Yashiro?!" Conan's already exaggerated eyes widened even more.
"Of course there is no misunderstanding, they probably just have unresolved hatred." Sotakuya said with a shrug.
"That's why the Yashiro President insisted on attending the appointment." Although Conan was standing in the closed cabin, he felt a chill that penetrated his heart at this moment.
The source of that coolness comes from the deep malice in human nature.
These malices are like a giant mouth of the abyss ready to swallow Conan skin and bones in one go.
"I'm afraid, the eighth generation president is actually planning to personally end this feud that has been sealed for fifteen years."
Sotakuya's judgment was very accurate. The bodyguard who had been following Entaro Yashiro had disappeared.
Even the bodyguards following Takae Yashiro were called away.
Conan anxiously urged Sotakuya: "Quick, we have to stop Mr. Kusaka and Yashiro Chairman!"
"Of course we have to stop the Yatsudai Chairman." Sotakuya inadvertently ignored Kusaka Yusei.
The Yashiro Group sacrificed two innocent crew members because of necessity. Now the descendants of the crew members came to the Aphrodite to avenge their fathers.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this in Sotakuya's opinion.
There is no reason to send us to a dead end just because of the needs of your consortium. In this world, people are born with one life.
No one is nobler than anyone else.
As long as - as long as Kusaka Yusei doesn't plan to blow up the Aphrodite.
It's a pity that if Zong Takuya hadn't seen it, he would probably have clapped his hands secretly, but who let him see it?
Sotakuya's consciousness as a policeman will not let Yunari Kusaka act recklessly in front of him.
Same thing.
"No matter how prominent this guy's family background is, it does not enable him to trample on the law.
If he thought that his family background and assets could serve as a protective umbrella for him to avoid legal sanctions.
What I have to do is to strip him of all his reliance and let him face the judgment he deserves nakedly. "
At this moment, Sotakuya seemed to resonate with the children of the two sailors who lost their fathers, because what Sotakuya, who lost his family in an accident, despised people like Yatsuro Entaro the most.
If you really rely on your own ability to move around and rejuvenate the Yashiro Group, So Takuya can only express his admiration.
So Takuya hated these guys who sacrificed innocent people and ate human blood steamed buns from the bottom of his heart.
'You're so handsome, Brother Takuya! 'Conan's eyes widened as he watched, but the "showdown" between Kusaka Yusei and Yatsuro Entaro has still not been resolved.
Conan asked his question, and Sotakuya rubbed his dog's head.
"Why do you think Yusaka Kusaka chose the time for the meeting at 10:15?" So Takuya did not answer Conan, but asked:
"At that time, Yatsuro Entaro was playing pool with the former Prime Minister. Wouldn't it be a greater risk to call someone away midway?
When the secretary was reporting on her itinerary yesterday, Kusaka Yusei eavesdropped on the entire process. He must have known about this situation. "
Conan thought for a while, but couldn't come up with an answer.
Two footsteps came, and Sotakuya smiled meaningfully when he heard the sound: "You dare to go to work, Conan."
After finishing speaking, Sotakuya walked over to welcome Yashiro Takae and her secretary.
In the guest room on the third floor, Kusaka Yusei arranged his alibi.
He was proud when talking about this alibi.
Because the alibi arranged by other murderers were temporary, only he arranged a long-term layout.
Before boarding the Aphrodite, he had already found out that the ship's deputy chief designer, Minami Akiyoshi, would also be on board.
Coincidentally, this deputy chief designer is also Yashiro Takae's husband and a student of Yashiro Hideto.
After selecting the target of the alibi on Minamiko Akiyoshi, Kusaka Yusei began to approach this woman in the name of an interview.
Although Akiyoshi Minamiko has a beautiful appearance, Kusaka Yusei, who only has revenge in his heart, has no time to appreciate it.
While conducting a perfunctory interview with Akiyoshi Minamiko, he inquired about the situation of the First Yashiro Maru No. 1 at that time.
Of course, the best thing is that when the two sides exchange inspiration, no, it should be Kusaka Yusei's unilateral output.
Whenever Akiyoshi Minamiko tried to interject something in the middle, she would be severely scolded by Kusaka Yusei.
It is undoubtedly rude to do so, but Kusaka Yucheng is what he is today.
"I have some inspiration here. Please listen to it." After Yusei Kusaka said this, he took out his voice recorder and started playing the content he had recorded earlier.
Then put on the windbreaker, hat and mask that the Aphrodite left as a souvenir to the guests who boarded the ship.
Take a dagger from your bag.
God knows how he managed to get this thing on board without telling security.
Before leaving, Kusaka Yusei specifically looked back at the phone and voice recorder on the table, gently closed the door, and went straight to the 6th floor!
And shortly after Kusaka Yusei left, a royal sister's voice suddenly came from the receiver of the landline phone in the room:
"Hello?"
Kusaka Yusei ran to the 6th floor panting, took out the key and gently opened the door of 604.
Everything was planned at just the right time. "Yashiro Takae" had just finished playing squash, so he took a shower.
Now I am standing in front of the window wiping my hair with a towel.
that is--
Is this Yashiro Takae a bit too strong?
Kusaka Yusei couldn't describe this feeling, but he always felt that the figure of "Yashiro Takae" in front of him was different from when she showed up on weekdays.
Could it be the angle?
Kusaka Yusei slowly approached "Yashiro Takae" with a knife. At the same time, he also slowly changed the angle of approach, wanting to confirm again. (End of chapter)
