They hurried back to the deck and saw Ryuo Hoshimoto leaning against the railing with blood all over his head. Kogoro Mouri hurried over to check his pulse, but unfortunately he was already dead.

"Dragon man!"

Looking at the dead look of Ryumoto Ryuo, Qiu Jiang shouted in grief. A few tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, but when he thought of the quarrel between the two of them before, he couldn't tell whether it was real or fake.

"I observed that Mr. Longnan must have died from a severe blow to the head. Presumably, the murderer used these iron bars placed on the deck."

Kogoro also pointed at several iron rods on the ground, fearing that the murderer might have used one of them to commit the crime.

"Could it be that Xiao Wu did it?"

Mariko said that after all, in their opinion, Takehiko Zaishiro had already taken one life, and adding another would not help!

"Let's go check the warehouse!"

After being reminded of this, Kogoro also had a bad feeling. He led everyone to the warehouse in a hurry. As soon as he returned to the restaurant, he saw Ichiro Usumoto who had returned.

"What's going on?"

Ichiro was puzzled.

"Long Nan was killed. We suspect that Xiao Wu killed him. Let's go to the warehouse and check!"

Qiu Jiang said as he ran, and his speed was almost catching up with Kogoro.

[No, I remember that the warehouse can only be locked from the outside and cannot be opened from the inside. If Zaishiro Takehiko is not in there, it means that the murderer is likely someone else, and he just wants to frame someone else! ]

Conan continued analyzing while running.

When everyone arrived at the warehouse, the door was open as expected, and there was no one inside.

Obviously, Takehiko Zaishiro escaped!

"I knew it was him. He must have found some way to escape. This guy was the one who killed Dad and Long Nan. He did this to avenge our Tsunomoto family!"

Qiu Jiang could no longer remain calm and shouted loudly towards the empty space, as if he was venting his anger at Takehiko Zaishiro who was originally inside.

"It's not him, the murderer is not him!"

Xia Jiang's voice sounded behind everyone.

"Xia Jiang, are you still protecting him at this time? Long Nan is dead, and grandpa is dead too, so who else could it be but him? Woohoo, I can't get a penny, and my man is dead too. Damn it, if I had known earlier, I should have bought insurance for that bastard Long Nan!"

You've been crying for so long, isn't it just because you couldn't make a penny?

Before, everyone thought that Qiu Jiang was so excited after seeing Long Nan’s death because he was a man of great loyalty and righteousness. It turned out that he was so excited because he didn’t buy insurance and couldn’t make any money.

"Whatever you say, come with me. Mingyi already knows the truth."

After saying this, Xia Jiang walked ahead to lead the way.

"This little bitch hooked up with the big boss of Fujijiang Group so quickly. No wonder Dad made Xia Jiang the chairman. I think it's because of this!"

When Mariko heard Natsue calling Akiyoshi in a friendly manner, she thought that Natsue had hooked up with Fujie Akiyoshi, and she thought that it was probably because Gozo Usumoto saw this and chose Natsue.

"Damn it, isn't it just an innocent face?"

Akie Usumoto also realized it later. After looking at Mariko, he guessed that what the other person was thinking was not much different from what he was thinking.

However, for Fujie Akiyoshi and his Yumoto Group, they really could not provoke such a behemoth, so they could only follow obediently.

[Has he figured out who the murderer is? Damn it! ]

Conan felt frustrated when he heard the news. He just thought that the murderer was someone else, but the other party already knew who the murderer was.

【I want to see how your reasoning works! 】

"Please, I am the famous detective!"

Kogoro felt helpless. He was obviously a professional detective, right?

As for Xiaolan, she was silent.

[Miss Xia Jiang's address to Brother Fujie has changed to Mingyi. What did they do on the deck just now? How did their relationship improve so quickly?! ]

Following Xia Jiang's footsteps, several people came to the bedroom in the cabin. Only one door was open, and Fujie Akiyoshi was standing outside the door waiting for everyone.

"Isn't this Ichiro's room? Why did you bring us here?"

Mariko sensed something was wrong and rushed to protect Usumoto Ichiro. Usumoto Ichiro trembled and clenched his fists.

"The Zaishiro Takehiko you're looking for is hiding in here, why don't you come in and take a look?"

Fujie Akiyoshi pointed inside, and everyone ran over to take a look. They saw Takehiko Zaishiro sitting on the sofa opposite the bed.

Next to him, there was an easel. On the easel was a stack of papers, and on the exposed paper there was an unfinished draft, and the outline on it was a young girl.

"Zaijo Takehiko, you bastard!"

"You've killed two people. I never realized that you are so ruthless!"

The overwhelming malice turned into curses, all directed at Takehiko Zaishiro.

"No, I didn't kill Master Long. Long Nan's death had nothing to do with me. I wanted to ask you to let me out but the door opened by itself. After I escaped, I found that Long Nan was dead. I was afraid that you would suspect me again, so I hid in Iran's room. As a result, I accidentally startled Xia Jiang and the others who were communicating."

Takehiko Zaishiro flatly denied it and felt that he was very unlucky and that all the blame was put on him.

"Xia Jiang, don't you believe me?"

Looking at Xia Jiang, Takehiko Zaishiro seemed to have grasped the last straw and frantically begged for help.

Xia Jiang glanced at Takehiko Zaishiro coldly, then stood behind Akiyoshi Fujie, looking as if he was the one who was in charge.

"Xia Jiang..."

Seeing Xia Jiang like this, Takehiko Zaishiro felt that his life was dark.

"The murderer is definitely not Zaishiro Takehiko. If it was him, I would have caught him and come to you guys just now."

Fujie Akiyoshi spoke, and at the same time walked behind the table and took out a box. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of knives, but there was an empty space in the middle.

"These are my knives. Didn't I put them in the kitchen?"

Shoji Uzumoto couldn't believe that he saw his knife here.

"Did you kill my father? Xiangji didn't expect you to do this. Isn't it because the restaurant can't continue? You are not being chased by loan sharks for debts, so why do you want to kill again!"

Seeing that Shoji Usumoto was more likely, Mariko Usumoto continued to bite him.

"Sister, please don't talk nonsense. I left this knife in the kitchen, and I don't know how it got into Mr. Fujie's hands!"

Shoji Uzumoto quickly denied it, saying that he never expected to encounter such a thing.

"Mr. Shoji is not the murderer. I found this knife by accident under the table when I found Mr. Zaishiro Takehiko. Mr. Ichiro Uzumoto, why don't you come and explain why it is here?"

Fujie Akiyoshi put down the knife box, put his hands in his pockets and looked at Ichiro Uzumoto calmly. Just this gave people a huge sense of pressure.

"Ichiro!"

Mariko was stunned. She didn't expect that she had been biting randomly, and the suspicion came to her son. This frightened her and she pulled Ichiro's sleeve. She said anxiously:

"Ichiro, please say something!"

"I, I... I don't know either. By the way, since Zaishiro Takehiko could run into my room, that means he could also bring it in here. Even if it wasn't him, the real murderer could have been thrown into our locked room, so that doesn't mean anything!"

Ichiro Uzumoto suddenly looked at Takehiko Zaishiro, and thought of the fact that the other party had entered his room and hid, so he said.

"That's strange. I just borrowed the old butler Suzuki's key and went to check the scene where Mr. Uemoto's body was found. And I found this, a blood-stained bread crumb!"

Akiyoshi Fujie took out a handkerchief from his pocket with a small piece of blood-red bread crumbs on it.

"For your information, bread crumbs are the earliest erasers. Moreover, Mr. Ichiro's charcoal drawings with bread crumbs are better than ordinary erasers. You usually use bread crumbs as erasers, right?"

"Hearing what Mr. Fujie said, I suddenly remembered something. This morning when I was making French food, Ichiro came over and asked me for some bread crumbs, saying that he would use them when painting. Moreover, my knives were on the kitchen counter at the time, and it was easy for Ichiro to see them and take them secretly!"

Shoji Uzumoto suddenly remembered something and told everyone.

"Shoji, what are you talking about? I think you have bad intentions!"

Mariko glared at Shoji Uzumaki, because his words focused her suspicion on Ichiro.

Shoji Ushimoto also glared back at the other party without showing any weakness. He had not forgotten that Mariko had focused her suspicion on him just now because of the knife.

"However, there is a small disadvantage to using bread crumbs. The crumbs can easily fall onto your body during use. I think the bloody crumbs found at the crime scene were accidentally dropped by you when you assassinated Mr. Usamoto! In other words, the murderer is you, Ichiro Usamoto!"

Fujie Akiyoshi pointed at Ichiro Uzumoto with his right hand and spoke the truth in an unquestionable tone.

And the bread crumbs in his hand are the best physical evidence!
