People in Conan, aiming to be the idol of the whole nation

"Don't come in, I'm a detective, leave the rest to me."

Kogoro stopped others from entering and revealed his identity as a detective. He walked up to Gozo Usumoto to check him.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Yamoto has passed away in about forty to fifty minutes."

"grandfather!"

Upon hearing the news, Xia Jiang burst into tears on the spot.

As for the other members of the Yu family, they were not very moved when they heard the news, and many of them even showed a relaxed expression. In wealthy families, family affection is rare.

Except for Xia Jiang who was truly sad, everyone else was just pretending.

"Mr. Butler, may I ask what state the old master of the Yamoto family was in when you found him dead?"

"When I came, the master's door was locked. I opened it with this spare key."

After saying this, the old butler Suzuki took out a spare key.

"I observed the environment inside the house again. With the door closed, it was completely a secret room."

Kogoro continued his analysis and then asked the old butler Suzuki about his situation. After all, he was the first person to discover the incident and was a major suspect.

Butler Suzuki was placing things next to Xiaolan and the others at the time, so he also had an alibi.

"That means Grandpa committed suicide. He must have seen you guys arguing about the family property, so he used this method to punish you."

Akiie Uzumoto was the first to speak and break the silence.

"Impossible. Not long ago, Mr. Tsumoto was discussing with me the cooperation between Tsumoto Group and Fujie Films. This is related to the publicity work of Tsumoto Group in the next five years. There is no reason for him to commit suicide at such an important moment. Besides, you can see that there are blood stains on the door frame. If it was suicide, how could it splash here?"

Fujie Akiyoshi pointed at the door frame below, then squatted down to approach Conan who was observing the door frame, and said:

"Don't you think so, little Conan?"

"Ah, that's true."

Conan was startled by Fujie Akiyoshi's shout, and then agreed with Fujie Akiyoshi's words in a cute voice.

"In that case, this is indeed a murder case."

Maori Kogoro touched his chin, then pointed at the Usumoto family and said:

"In that case, the murderer is most likely among you. If I remember correctly, it seems that some people were not in the restaurant at the time."

"I already know who did this to Dad."

Just when Kogoro was about to interrogate them one by one, Mariko Usumoto suddenly spoke.

"Aunt, what are you talking about?"

When Qiu Jiang heard Mariko say this, he was a little worried that she would put the blame on him.

"I think the murderer is most likely Xiao Wu!"

Mariko ignored Qiu Jiang's words and pointed at Xiao Wu who was standing aside with a pale face.

"How could it be me?"

Takeshi Ryūmoto shook his head hurriedly, sweat kept coming out of his head, and he was obviously frightened.

No, Mariko put on an expression that showed she had expected Takeshi Ryoumoto to say that, and continued to insist:

"Humph, I just heard it clearly outside my father's room. Your real identity is actually Zaishiro Takehiko, the son of Zainari Nagao ten years ago! I'm afraid you have other plans for marrying Xia Jiang!"

"what!"

When the people in the Yumoto family heard the news, they were stunned and looked at Xiao Wu in disbelief.

"Xiao Wu!"

When Xia Jiang heard the news, it was as devastating as the sudden murder of Gozo Uemoto.

"Xia Jiang, listen to me..."

Xiao Wu wanted to explain to Xia Jiang, but Xia Jiang pushed him away and ran straight outside.

"I'll go check it out. Don't let her do anything stupid. I'll leave this to you, Mr. Maori."

Fujie Akiyoshi said something and followed Xia Jiang. Watching Xia Jiang leave, Ichiro Uzumoto clenched his fists tightly, and a trace of self-blame flashed in his eyes.

"Who is Zainari Nagao?"

Kogoro didn't pay attention to Fujie Akiyoshi and others. He was doing his job well as he focused on the case.

"He was the one whose company was taken away by my father ten years ago. He later committed suicide by jumping off a building. His wife also died a year later, leaving their only son in an orphanage. So that person must be Xiao Wu."

Hokumoto Kitaro kindly gave Kogoro some scientific knowledge.

"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Zaijo Takehiko. I'm sorry that you are now the number one suspect. Please cooperate with me!"

"I didn't kill Grandpa!"

Xiao Wu struggled.

"Baga, you are not qualified to call me grandpa. Just stay in the warehouse obediently!"

Shoji Uzumoto roared angrily. Fortunately, he had a good impression of Xiao Wu before, but he didn't expect that the other party had such a hidden identity!

In this way, Zaishiro Takehiko was locked up in the ship's warehouse by several people. The hat of murder was temporarily placed on his head.

On the deck outside the cruise ship, Xia Jiang leaned against the railing and cried.

"Don't catch a cold."

Fujie Akiyoshi took off his shirt and covered Xia Jiang with it. Then, he also leaned on the guardrail like Xia Jiang did.

"Cry if you want to. You've encountered so many things in one day. Even if it were me, it would be hard to accept. Don't hold back your tears, it's good for your health. If you need it, I'll lend you my shoulder to lean on! You know, this is something many female stars would love to lean on~"

After saying that, Fujie Akiyoshi righteously extended his shoulder. Xia Jiang looked at him with tears in her eyes, then threw herself on his shoulder and burst into tears again.

After a long while, she stopped crying and said:

"Fujie, tell me if I am an unfortunate person. Last year, my parents died in a car accident when they came back to celebrate my birthday. My grandfather was killed when he went to Usumoto Island to prepare for my wedding ceremony. The suspect was my fiancé, a man who had a ten-year grudge against our Usumoto family. Is this the result of me letting a wolf into the house?"

"You can't be blamed for this. Listen to me, Xia Jiang. I think that Takeshi Ryūmoto..."

"It's Takehiko Zaishiro!"

Xia Jiang corrected himself, but noticed that his anger was directed at the wrong person, and quickly apologized.

"Sorry, I accidentally took my anger out on you!"

"It's okay, just say he is Zaijo Takehiko. I think he is not the murderer, the real murderer should be someone else. Of course, this is just my speculation. If Xia Jiang says that Zaijo Takehiko is not the murderer, what do you plan to do?"

Fujie Akiyoshi's words left Xia Jiang confused.

"Xia Jiang~"

"Ok?"

Xia Jiang looked at Fujie Akiyoshi, not knowing what he was going to say. Then, she looked into his affectionate eyes, and then Xia Jiang felt a pair of hands reaching around her waist and hugging her.

"Xia Jiang, I like you. I fell in love with you as early as college, and even now you are still my favorite person."

one!

Well, Fujie Akiyoshi silently added this sentence in his heart, don't mention other women when flirting with girls. But to be honest, he did fall in love with Xia Jiang, a gentle and beautiful girl, when he was in college.

After saying that, Fujie Akiyoshi lowered his head and captured those lovely red lips. He carefully savored the fragrance on them, which had some of the remaining juice flavor, very sweet and delicate!

Listening to Fujie Akiyoshi's strong confession, Xia Jiang's heart trembled. When she was in college, wasn't she attracted to the number one man in Dongdu?

The other person was indeed her first crush, even though she and Xiao Wu later became an engaged couple. A large part of the reason was that Xiao Wu had some similarities with Fujie Akiyoshi.

"Well!"

After kissing for about half a minute, Xia Jiang was a little out of breath, but still did not resist.

Hearing this, Fujie Akiyoshi, as a warm-hearted man, naturally gave in immediately. At the same time, he had a sly smile on his face, which made Xia Jiang blush.

"You're so mean, this is my first kiss!"

All the complicated emotions were mixed together, Xia Jiang only said these few words. Fortunately, there was no one else on the deck, otherwise...

Fujie Akiyoshi: Otherwise, it would only be more exciting!

"With your status, there should be no shortage of beauties around you, right? Why do you want to provoke me?"

Xia Jiang then pretended to be bullied, which made people want to protect her. In fact, she was indeed bullied, so it was not wrong to do so.

Favorability: 86

Fujie Akiyoshi glanced at Xia Jiang's favorability towards him and found it had increased a little. He had dared to do this because he had discovered that Xia Jiang's favorability towards him had reached over 80.

With his current appearance and status, as long as a woman's favorability exceeds 80, he can basically capture her heart by actively pursuing her.

What's more, Xia Jiang has suffered so many setbacks now. If someone else comes to brag and ask about her well-being, it will be easy for her to open up. Fujie Akiyoshi is also her secret crush, so it is naturally even easier.

"Xia Jiang is so beautiful, it's hard not to be moved~"

Fujie Akiyoshi has long seen himself clearly, and he is not the kind of person who can be together for life. In this case, it is better to follow his heart and communicate more with beautiful women, just like he treats Xia Jiang, and give them a warm support when necessary!

"Xia Jiang, when I was communicating with Mr. Yumoto before, his tone when he talked about you was obviously different from that of others. It is obvious that he regards you as the future heir, and you know it in your heart. Except for you, no one in the Yumoto family can take on the responsibility. If the company falls into the hands of others, it will be ruined sooner or later. You don't want to let down your grandfather's life's hard work!"

"What do you mean?"

Xia Jiang naturally understood the importance of this matter, but it was another matter when it came from an outsider like Fujie Akiyoshi.

"I think your grandfather may have left a will to establish you as the heir. When the time comes, you just need to take over the Tsurumoto family. I will help you shoulder this burden and help the Tsurumoto family pass on. Isn't this the only way to be worthy of our grandfather!"

"What do you mean your grandpa? That's my grandpa. Also, Xiao Wu and I..."

At this point, Xia Jiang lowered her head in disappointment. Because she thought of Xiao Wu hiding his identity and approaching her with impure intentions. Even though she and Xiao Wu were arranged by her grandfather to be a real marriage, Xia Jiang still had some feelings for Xiao Wu, but after what happened today, the two of them no longer had a future.

"Xia Jiang, I think that for this matter, regardless of whether Xiao Wu is the murderer or not, there is no reason for you to go to this island because the marriage cannot be completed. But don't worry, I will always be by your side."

Fujie Akiyoshi continued to comfort her, basically eliminating the possibility of their relationship reconciling.

Finally, under the attack of Fujie Akiyoshi, Xia Jiang raised his head.

"Fujie...I'm going to rely on you from now on."

Looking at the man who was once her idol, Xia Jiang leaned in his arms. At this moment, she felt extremely at ease!

Whether it is carrying the company's shoulders or his own personal emotions, Fujie Akiyoshi is really a good person to entrust.

Even though Xia Jiang knew that there must be many women behind Fujie Akiyoshi, she still decided to run towards this man resolutely!

Xia Jiang, favorability: 91!

In the warehouse, Zaicheng Takehiko felt his scalp itchy, as if something had fallen on it. But after touching his hair for a long time, he still couldn't find anything suspicious.

Happy New Year's Eve. I'm having a barbecue. I'll post another chapter after that. It will be a little late. Have a good New Year everyone (?▽?)
