Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

"Snapped"

The carved sandalwood folding fan suddenly slipped from Hatoyama Eri's hand and fell on the round platform with a very clear sound.

Iwazuki Koichiro's last question was like a thunderbolt that broke Hatoyama Eri's long-standing cognition.

The whispers among the guests changed one after another, and returned to silence after Iwazuki Quichiro's three consecutive questions.

However, it can be seen from the glances they secretly cast in the direction of Hiroko Muto that the mood of the guests at the moment is not as quiet and silent as the current atmosphere.

The half-person-high screen blocked the guests' sight mixed with various complex emotions, but it did not block the eyes of Ichihara Yoshiki and others who were in the same space as Muto Hiroko.

Unlike the other guests sitting in other areas who were sometimes talking to each other and sometimes whispering, no one in the core area where Hiroko Muto was located had spoken a word since Chitose Jade appeared.

The dim light perfectly concealed the expressions of several people, but how could Hiroyuki Muto not notice the sight that was shining brightly on him.

Muto Hiroshi, who has been in the political arena for many years and has long been the embodiment of the word scheming, is still very calm even in the face of the current situation.

Except for the two-minute rapid breathing when Chitose Tama appeared, Karasuma Sonobu didn't find anything abnormal in Muto Hiroyuki.

Moving his eyes away from Hiroko Muto, Karasuma Sonobu looked at the bright place, listening to the reasoning of Koichiro Iwazuki and Conan, and felt that he had already seen the end of this kind of situation. The acting was in low spirits.

Fifteen years ago, with the successful election of Miyazawa Yoshito, Nagasawa Xingta, who firmly stood behind Miyazawa Yoshito, also prospered, and his status increased as Nagasawa Co., Ltd. developed into the Nagasawa Foundation.

However, Miyazawa Kihito did not expect that Nagasawa Yuta had already been distracted by the power and influence inside Neon's top Vanity Fair when he followed him.

In order to protect their own interests to the greatest extent, the Nagasawa Consortium can still become a long-lasting top conglomerate such as the Suzuki Consortium and the Ooka Consortium even after Miyazawa Yoshito retires as Prime Minister.

Nagasawa Yuta had secretly accepted the olive branch offered by Hiroshi Muto many years ago.

Of course, on the surface, he is still Miyazawa Yoshito's loyal lackey.

And this is also an important reason why Hatoyama Eri decided that the behind-the-scenes instigator was Kiki Miyazawa after receiving evidence from her adoptive father Ueno Shotaro that President Nagasawa had killed her father Kenya Hatoyama.

After getting the evidence and knowing who the enemy was who killed his father and adoptive father, Hatoyama Eri would naturally not let the enemy go easily.

So after the desire for revenge took root, Hatoyama Eri began to secretly take over the manpower left by her adoptive father, accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity of revenge.

Finally, after the assassination of Prime Minister Fukuda Bunzo, through the manpower left by his adoptive father in Wuhe Co., Ltd., he learned that Neon's top figures would hold a three-day event in Haruwaju before the congressional election as usual. After the top-notch feast, Hatoyama Eri knew that the time for revenge she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

However, what she didn't know was that when she first took over the manpower left by her adoptive father Ueno Shotaro, she was discovered by Hiroshi Muto's spy at the Ueno family.

Later, following this trace of something amiss, Hiroko Muto noticed the existence of Eri Hatoyama.

Although he did not discover Hatoyama Eri's true identity at the time, with the help of his eyes, he was still aware of Hatoyama Eri's revenge plan.

Therefore, Hiroko Muto, who felt that this was a God-given opportunity, let his informants hide some of the Ueno family's manpower at Gogo Co., Ltd., and "kindly helped" Hatoyama Eri complete the preparations for revenge step by step.

The tall man who was chasing Haibara Ai and his accomplices before were those who Hatoyama Eri didn't know belonged to the Ueno family, but actually obeyed Muto Hiroyuki's actions.

Of course, the tall man and his accomplices did not know this. They only knew that they belonged to the Ueno family and obeyed the orders of their superiors.

As for who is online, they don't know.

The interrogation methods of Arakawa Meisa and others were indeed excellent, but they underestimated the loyalty of the tall man and his associates to the forces behind him.

Relying on the truth and lies, the tall man successfully concealed the fact that he clearly knew that he and others belonged to the Ueno family by using the true confession that he and others had no idea who was on the line and usually only used their mobile phones to make mission contacts.

Before that, the reason why the tall man took away the things that she obviously put in the breast pocket of her overalls without catching her was actually to take Haihara Ai to the place they had planned in advance and kill her. The evidence was left behind after his death, which led to the secret of the threatening letter.

Of course, he didn't know that before Haibara Ai pretended to be comatose due to heat stroke, she took out the same anesthesia needle as Conan's from her right watch and put it in the front breast pocket of her overalls.

As long as the tall man reaches out, he will be pricked by an anesthetic needle.

So when the tall man discovered Haihara Ai, she put her hands on her breast pocket in order to let the tall man discover that she had hidden something important there.

As for why it was not used before, it was because when Haihara Ai discovered that the tall man was trying to attack Mao Lilan and wanted to use a watch anesthesia needle, he discovered that the watch containing the anesthesia needle had accidentally hit it on a stone when he turned the window. The precision mechanism inside malfunctioned, causing the anesthesia needle to fail to fire.

Therefore, Haihara Ai used throwing stones to attract the tall man's attention.

Of course, not only the tall man and his accomplices who were captured by the police, but also the female receptionist who died in the same place as Haraike Kuro was actually affiliated with the Ueno family, but Hatoyama Eri did not People who know.

Yuanikekuro did not struggle or resist before he died. That was because the female receptionist secretly changed the scented candles in Yuanikekuro's room, which made Yuanikekuro dizzy and weak, and he could only let himself be slaughtered.

In order to prevent herself from being affected and to allow the medicine to take effect better, the female receptionist waited outside for a while with refreshments, then covered her mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief and entered.

However, what she didn't know was that Kuro Haraike, who was very familiar with aromatherapy like Haihara Ai, discovered a problem while the female receptionist was waiting outside.

However, since the replaced aromatherapy was gradually taking effect, Haraike Kuro, who knew that he was being targeted and could not escape death, used his last strength to first leave clues under the desk where he was writing.

Then before the female receptionist arrived, he put the charcoal pen in his hand back into his pocket, picked up the pen beside him, and pretended to continue recording clues in the notebook.

Finally, the female receptionist who had calculated the time and entered the door saw Kuro Haraike getting up, discovered something was wrong with her and tried to shout to escape. In desperation, she killed Kuro Haraike with a candlestick holding scented candles.

The poisonous incense was brought to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

However, due to time constraints and the urging of her companions, the female receptionist was in a panic. When she was cleaning the broken toxic aromatherapy and replacing it with the normal aromatherapy, she did not notice some small debris hidden in the darkness of the corner of the table.

In the end, these debris were discovered by Haiyuan Ai, which became the inducement for Haiyuan Ai to discover the clues left by Yuan Chi Kurang.

And why did the female receptionist who was supposed to retire due to cyanide poisoning die next to Kuro Haraike? Then we have to mention the wet handkerchief that the female receptionist used to cover her mouth and nose when entering the door.

As mentioned before, Kuro Haraike is extremely famous and has an extremely large fan base among women.

Among the receptionists responsible for serving guests at Chunhe Residence this time, many women are fans of Yuanike Kuro.

Among them, there was an extremely fanatical fan who immediately had murderous intentions towards the female receptionist after knowing that she was responsible for receiving Kuro Haraike.

Therefore, the enthusiastic fan who knew that the female receptionist did not like to use tissues because of her sensitive nose and skin, but preferred to use handkerchiefs, secretly sprinkled a mixture of cyanide powder and water on the female receptionist's handkerchief.

In the end, the handkerchief containing cyanide powder was wetted with water and breathed through the mouth and nose. The female receptionist who had just killed Hara Ikekuro and handled the scene fell to the ground less than five steps away from Hara Ikekuro due to cyanide poisoning. place.

He poisoned himself with hatred, but unexpectedly avenged his idol.

I have to say that this has a sense of absurdity in a causal cycle.

As Conan and Quichiro Iwazuki reasoned like a cocoon, the four murders that occurred in the past few days were clearly analyzed in front of everyone.

Hiroko Muto killed Representative Ishida and Kuro Haraike in order to put pressure on the detectives and elicit clues to the threatening letter.

As for killing Inspector Akanishi and President Nagasawa, the former conveniently and reasonably dealt with Hideo Akanishi, who was in a different camp from his own, in order to expand Hiroko Muto's own power in the police world.

The latter was to prevent President Nagasawa from suddenly betraying him when things got real and revealing his existence, which would be detrimental to him.

After getting rid of Representative Ishida and other three people, and openly placing himself as a suspect, Hiroko Muto planned to put himself to death and survive.

While putting pressure on the police and detectives, Hatoyama Eri's murderous intention towards Miyazawa Kihito was aggravated.

No matter which side succeeds in the end, he can use this to get rid of Miyazawa Yoshito and eradicate this person's desire for superiority.

Hiroko Muto, who had always been calm, finally stood up after listening to the reasoning of Quichiro Iwazuki and others, and facing the evidence collected by the police and public security that could prove his connection with Yuta Nagasawa. , walked into the bright light:

“I do have some dealings with President Nagasawa, but it would be outrageous to say that I ordered him to kill Kenya Hatoyama, and also to kill Inspector Akanishi and him.

Apart from anything else, this Xianzai Hatoyama has no enmity or grudge against me, and has never even had any contact with me. Why should I kill him? "

Regarding this point, Conan and Iwazuki Quichiro didn't understand, so they both fell silent.

"Because of the thousand-year-old jade."

Another boy's voice sounded. After hearing this, the kind smile on Muto Hiroko's face immediately froze slightly.
