Conan's Almighty Extraction

Chapter 353 The 5-color Legend of the Water Mansion (6)

After thinking about it for a while, Officer Henggou guessed impolitely: "That is to say, Master saw that you were disobedient, so he burned the fishing rod in a fit of anger. And you, because of this, have a grudge against Master, right?"

"Mr. Police Officer, don't talk nonsense," Ryoichi Aonogi glared at Police Officer Henggou, and retorted: "How could I kill my father for such a trivial matter?"

Police officer Henggou didn't think much of it at all, after all, there were countless cases of crimes caused by trivial matters, so he continued to ask: "Mr. Liangyi, please forgive me for taking the liberty. Since you are the only son of the master, why don't you want to inherit the family business?"

"It's because I don't want to be like my father, who was arrogant by nature and made my mother cry every time."

Ryo Aonogi sighed, and replied: "And after I really want to inherit, I have to give speeches and exercises, and charge high speech fees. How is this different from other younger generations who inherit the family business from generation to generation? I don't want to inherit my father's interests at all."

Mori Kogoro was extremely envious of Ryoichi Aonogi's distress, and interjected: "But as long as you inherit, even after he retires in the future, he can still live a superior life like before. What's wrong with that?" Woolen cloth?"

There was a flash of disgust in Ryo Aonogi's eyes, and he said bluntly: "I just hate the fact that my father's purpose is not pure, and I have left home for a long time because of this."

Butler Hanazaki nodded and confirmed: "Master Liangyi is right, but I really can't take care of Grandmaster's life by myself, so I asked Master to move back."

"The condition for me to move back is that I don't have to inherit his position."

Aoki Ryo sighed, and said helplessly: "If you just want me to help manage the business, then it doesn't matter. Anyway, I am his son after all, but he insists on me succeeding him."

"Business management?" Conan suddenly asked, "Brother Liangyi, you should be very clear about the total property of Qingyemu Enterprise, right?"

Police officer Henggou felt moved after hearing this, and speculated with a hint of malice: "It turns out that if your father passes away before the heir is decided, you can justifiably inherit his seat. At that time, The throne of the master of tea ceremony is naturally also yours."

"You are too rude!" Hanazaki steward glared at Police Officer Henggou, and explained: "The young master came back this time because the master's health is getting worse and worse. He only came back because he was worried about his father's health."

"Needless to say, thank you, Aunt Hanazaki." Aonogi Ryoichi was not angry, and waved his hand gently to stop the quarrel between Butler Hanazaki and Police Officer Henggou, with a clear conscience on his face.

Just when Police Officer Henggou was about to continue asking questions, Mori Kogoro suddenly thought of something and asked a rather crucial question.

"Officer Henggou, when the master was killed, everyone including Mr. Liangyi was in this room. Even if someone killed him in the past, we would definitely see him from the balcony. Resting on that chair on the balcony, I never saw anyone go to the tea ceremony room."

The words of Mori Kogoro mean that everyone has a perfect alibi, coupled with the state of the secret room at the scene of the crime, the nature of the case suddenly tilted in the direction of suicide.

"By the way, Ms. Mimura seemed to bring something in from the outside. She seemed to be afraid that others would notice, but she didn't see the boxed item afterwards, which meant that she must have hidden it. But the time was so tight at that time, she must have Hide that thing in the first floor of the main house."

Conan, who had been looking for clues, suddenly thought of this, and quickly told Shiraiwa Maha about it, so the two quietly went to the first floor to look for the things Miss Mimura brought back.

Soon, Shiraiwa and Maha found something wrapped in purple cloth in a room. After opening it, they found that it was a set of exquisite ancient tea set. If you guessed correctly, it should be Miss Mimura's plan to bribe Master Aonogi Stuff, no wonder she has been avoiding talking about it.

After Shiraiwa and Maha returned, they heard Police Officer Henggou ask Butler Hanazaki: "According to what you said before, the master plastered the tea ceremony room with spells because he was afraid of the monsters in the lake, and stayed in bed all day long. Not only that, but as long as anyone approaches him, he will react very violently, right?"

Butler Hanazaki nodded and admitted: "Yes, that's why we installed anti-theft sensors."

Officer Henggou rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "From this point of view, the possibility of attack from outside the mansion should be very low, and the tea ceremony room is surrounded by ponds, the only one connected to the main house. It’s a covered bridge, anyone who passes by here will definitely be able to see it, it looks like it should be a suicide case.”

At this time, Mimura-san and Yakura Morio, who were talking in low voices, suddenly had an argument for some reason.

Miss Sanmura pointed at Yagura Moruo with a folding fan, and angrily said: "It's not a mistake, you sent the expensive tea set yourself, trying to win over the Grandmaster secretly. This move is really clever, but you also know that the Grandmaster is not that stupid."

Yakura Moruo sneered, and retorted disdainfully: "You are about the same. In order to obtain the throne of the master, you will not hesitate to risk the company's bankruptcy and invest a huge amount of money here."

Seeing that the two accused each other, and there were faint signs of expanding the scope of the quarrel, Police Officer Henggou hurriedly spoke to dissuade him, smoothing things over and saying: "You two wait a moment, what I want to ask is just the usual behavior of the master."

"Humph."

Miss Sancun didn't want to show her disrespectful side in public, so she snorted arrogantly, took a sip from the teacup, and suddenly noticed something was wrong, she looked down at the tea set in her hand.

When she saw the condition of the tea set, she immediately turned cold, put the tea set heavily on the table, and asked, "Mrs. Hanazaki, what's the matter with this teacup? There are cracks on it!"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Mimura, please forgive my negligence." Seeing the mistake he made, Hanazaki butler hurriedly bowed to Ms. Mimura to apologize.

Ms. Mimura, who was in a bad mood, took the opportunity to reprimand: "I think you usually only pay attention to the surface, and you have never seen what's going on inside."

"Just pay attention to the surface?"

Miss Mimura's unintentional words reminded Shiraiwa Maha. After walking to the balcony to observe the lake, he finally understood how the murderer successfully sneaked into the tea ceremony room to commit crimes while everyone was admiring the lake scenery.
