Conan: I won’t clean up my innocence after joining the organization
Chapter 295 The Forgotten Family
The housekeeper froze in place at Cugu Mai's words.
Seeing what the old man sitting in the main seat wanted to say, Cugu Mai looked at him with an evil look.
"Grandpa, do you think he can sit up and sit with me?"
Cuckoo Tatsuo's expression changed for a moment, but surprisingly he didn't say anything.
The restaurant was quiet for a while, and Cugu Mai was eating by herself, not paying attention to other people's expressions.
But soon, her eyes caught sight of the woman sitting opposite her, and her originally relaxed mood became unhappy again.
"Oh, it's really disgusting to eat like a pig."
The woman sitting opposite was wearing exaggerated jewelry for free, and after Cugu Mai said these words, her expression under the pile of jewelry was a bit embarrassing.
The woman took a deep breath and forced a smile.
"Ma Yi, no matter what, I am still your mother, don't be like this..."
"It's just the wife of my stupid father. I didn't admit that you were my mother. Don't put it in your own face." Cugu Mai frowned.
The aggressive look made Hattori Heiji want to say something, but he was held by Toyama Kazuha by the side.
Kazuha shook his head and asked Hattori Heiji to be quiet.
As guests, it is always not good for them to meddle in other people's family affairs.
Hattori Heiji glanced at Toyama Kazuha, then reluctantly immersed himself in eating again.
At the same time, Cugu Mai stood up from the table with a hand.
She looked at the people in front of her and turned her head in disgust, "I won't eat anymore. I'll lose my appetite when I see you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she got up and went upstairs without stopping.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became much better after Cugu Mai left.
Mouri Kogoro and Cugu Tatsuo drank for a long time, which made Xiaolan try to stop them but failed.
All one could see was Kogoro Mouri picking up the wine and drinking it one cup after another.
Conan, who had been eating silently from the beginning to the end, was full by now. He stood up and left his seat.
Seeing Conan get off the stool, Hattori Heiji also stood up and left the table.
"Heiji, where are you going?" Toyama and Ye asked.
"It's the toilet, the toilet," Hattori Heiji pressed Conan's little head, "This kid needs to go to the toilet, so I just took him there."
Hattori Heiji, who never drafts his words, lies straight out of his mouth.
"Well, then Heiji, don't go too far," Toyama Kazuha hesitated for a moment, "This place looks scary."
"I know, I know." Hattori Heiji replied casually.
The moment he turned his head, Conan's eyes passed over Fikawa Mie.
But all he saw was Fikawa Mie wiping the corners of her mouth gracefully with a tissue, without any reaction to his gaze.
In the end, Conan turned his head with doubts.
The moment Conan turned around, Fikawa Mie's lips curved into a faint smile.
It wasn't until he was far away from the group of people in the restaurant that Hattori Heiji spoke in thought.
"I went to investigate other people in this house before. Everyone has some issues with Cugu Mai, but for some reasons, those people will not argue with Cugu Mai."
Even if Cugu Mai pointed at them and scolded them, those people still thought that Mai was a good person.
Conan also spoke, "The room I visited contained many photos of the two people who were hanged and daily necessities from the past. However, people here rarely mention the person who disappeared before, and there is no such thing in this home. That trace is called Cuckoo Tatsuya.”
Even when he asked Dr. Ali to look up the news from that year, there were only a few reports about this person in the news.
The family also had no record of going to police regarding the missing person.
The two thought for a while and looked at each other.
Hattori Heiji looked at Conan and smiled, "How about exchanging information?"
"Okay." Conan nodded.
According to past situations, if the two of them continue to investigate separately, it is very likely that the deceased will appear soon.
"I investigated about Cugu Mai."
"This person came back from studying abroad a month after the death of the original owner. It has nothing to do with that incident."
"After this person inherited his family's property, he spent five years on his own to make the Cuckoo family the leading company here. Everyone in the family now relies on this person to support their financial expenses."
"Everyone in this family has high expenses. Once they lose Cugu Mai, their lives will be different, so no one will touch her."
After Conan heard this information, he also told what he knew.
"I went to check out Cugu Tatsuya's original room. His room had been transformed into a utility room with nothing left."
"But most people in this family have feelings for Cugu Tatsuya."
"Most?" Hattori Heiji was stunned and looked at Conan,
Conan nodded and admitted his suspicion.
"Only one person heard the name without feeling disgusted."
"Who?"
"His sister, Cugu Mai."
Conan and Hattori Heiji walked to a room on the third floor.
The door was not locked, and as Conan turned the door handle, the door opened with a creak.
The room was not big, but the furniture inside was covered with a layer of dust. It seemed that few people had cleaned it. Even when the two people walked in the door, their footsteps left a series of footprints on the floor.
Hattori Heiji put his hand to cover his mouth and nose, looked at the scene in front of him, and spoke vaguely.
"It seems that this is the room where the two men hanged themselves."
And because it was haunted, no one had ever cleaned this room.
"Ah...yes." Conan nodded and waved his hand in the air, trying to use this method to get rid of the dust in front of his eyes.
The two of them stood still in one place and looked up. There were several nails on the ceiling that had been driven into the wall.
Conan's sharp eyes saw the light yellow plant fibers remaining on the nails.
"The two people were probably hanging here at that time."
Then, he frowned and said, "But it looks weird."
Although this room is different from the usual room, it is just for comparison.
Even the second-floor room where Xiaolan and Heye stayed before had a room that was four or five meters high for the sake of the beauty of the entire castle. However, this room was obviously on the top floor but it was the height of an ordinary room.
"Looks a little short," he said.
Hattori Heiji also touched his chin at this time. He looked at the nails and simulated the way the two ropes were used to hang a person. He said, "And the hangings in these two places are a bit too close."
If he had committed suicide and hanged himself, the distance between the two bodies would have been only half a foot.
His eyes glanced at the pile of debris on one side of the room.
Among a pile of discarded wooden boards, he saw a gray stool.
Hattori Heiji was placing the stool under the nails.
Suddenly, Conan's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed Hattori Heiji, "Hattori, lift me up quickly."
"That's..." Hattori Heiji's expression froze. The second Conan spoke, he stepped on the stool and lifted Conan's entire body.
Conan stared at the ceiling that was so close. He stretched out his hand and touched a spot with his palm.
The glasses reflected light at this time, but the eyes felt a little lonely under the cover of the lenses.
Hattori Heiji put Conan back on the ground, raised his eyes, and looked in the direction Conan was looking just now. He stretched out his hand and touched a place.
The moment his mind thought about the truth of that year, he and Conan looked at each other.
