Conan: I'm teasing Conan in Mingke
Chapter 17 Motive for committing the crime
Maori Kogoro carefully observed the condition of Hatamoto Ryuo and shook his head: "The cause of death is most likely a severe blow to the head. Judging from the wound, the murder weapon is likely to be an iron pipe or something like that."
“Who on earth would do such a cruel thing?” Hatamoto Natsue took two steps back in fear.
"Could it be Xiao Wu again?" Mariko Hatamoto covered her pounding heart.
"How is that possible? The warehouse door is locked." Kogoro Mouri denied the idea.
But what if an accomplice opened the warehouse door.
Conan thought of this possibility and ran towards the warehouse.
"Hey, Conan!" Kogoro Mouri hurriedly followed.
The two men ran all the way to the warehouse.
"The door is unlocked!"
When I opened the warehouse door, I found that Hatamoto Takeshi had disappeared.
-
Kogoro Mouri and Conan returned to the deck and explained the situation to everyone.
"What? No one's in the warehouse?"
"The door is locked, so it's impossible to escape, but the person is gone."
"The person who killed Dad and Long Nan must be Xiao Wu, there is no doubt about it! It must be him!"
Maori Kogoro calmly analyzed: "According to my guess, the thumping sound Kurokawa heard was most likely the sound of the murderer beating Long Nan.
The sound of water is the sound of the murder weapon being thrown into the sea, or the sound of the murderer jumping into the sea to commit suicide because he knew there was nowhere to escape.
In short, the possibility that the murderer is still hiding on the ship is quite high, so everyone should take shelter in the restaurant for the time being."
"I think Xiao Wu has no reason to kill us!" Mariko Hatamoto felt that she had never offended Takeshi Hatamoto, so how could she possibly be in danger of being killed.
Maori Kogoro reminded him seriously: "Don't forget that his motive for committing the crime was to collect the debt that Master Gozo forced his father to death ten years ago. Maybe he was planning to kill all the members of the Qiben family?"
"Okay, got it." Mariko Hatamoto had nothing to say now and could only obediently go to the restaurant.
-
It was already three o'clock in the morning, but the ship was still brightly lit.
Everyone gathered in the restaurant and didn't dare to go anywhere, for fear that they would be the next target.
"It's all your fault," Hatamoto Akie lost control of his emotions and yelled at Hatamoto Natsue, "It's because you brought Xiao Wu to our Hatamoto family that this happened! This is all your fault! What do you want me to do!"
Mariko Hatamoto sneered: "You are right, your husband killed your grandfather, and then inherited all the inheritance. This is your goal, isn't it?"
"That's not the case!" Hatamoto Natsue retorted: "I never thought about inheritance!"
Kurokawa Keizawa sat in the corner and rubbed his eyebrows.
In a sense, Mariko Hatamoto was right.
But there is one thing that is different from what Hatamoto Mariko said. Hatamoto Natsue had already known that her husband was the son of Zaishiro Yufu.
After she learned that her grandfather had killed Xiao Wu's father in the same way, her heart gradually leaned towards Xiao Wu.
After some guidance from the organization, Hatamoto Natsue used her beauty to seduce Hatamoto Ichiro's heart.
He killed his grandfather, which led to today's murder.
In common parlance, it's love-brained, right?
"In fact, the murderer may not be Mr. Xiaowu." Conan saw that they were about to quarrel again and interrupted: "When Uncle Maori and I first arrived at the warehouse, we didn't lock it, right?"
Maori Kogoro thought about it and said, "That's true."
"The lock on the warehouse can only be opened from the outside."
"That's right, and the door wasn't broken. Could it be that someone opened the door for him?" Maori Kogoro touched his chin and suddenly realized: "There must be an accomplice here!"
Maori Kogoro looked at Hatamoto Shoji, Hatamoto Akiie, and Hatamoto Ichiro: "When Long Nan was killed, the three of you were resting in the room alone. The only ones who were together were Hatamoto Kitaro and his wife."
Hatamoto Kitaro confirmed, "I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk outside."
"Then this murder case is the same as the previous one. Except for Xia Jiang and Kurokawa who were with Xiaolan, no one has an alibi."
"Are you kidding me?" Hatamoto Akiie pointed her finger at Kurokawa Keisawa: "How could I kill my own husband! And let's not talk about Xia Jiang for now, why should he be excluded as well.
He also left the table midway before, saying he was going to the bathroom, but who knows if he secretly unlocked the warehouse door! "
"Humph, you're probably the one who's happiest about Long Nan's death, right?" Hatamoto Mariko sneered and started mocking again: "Don't think we don't know that you already have a man outside, right?"
Hatamoto Akie was not to be outdone and retorted: "Isn't it the same for Aunt Mariko? You are doing this to divert everyone's attention, right? Aunt Mariko is the one who has the greatest motive to kill Grandpa! She is the one who cares the most about the inheritance!"
Kurokawa Keizawa felt a little headache. These people were really noisy.
"What's wrong with your head, Brother Kurokawa." Conan blinked his watery eyes and looked at Kurokawa Keizawa with a frown.
Kurokawa Keisawa didn't say anything, but pointed at Ichiro Hatamoto who was sitting in the corner flipping through a picture book.
"Huh?" Conan walked over curiously and looked at the picture book in Ichiro Hatamoto's hand.
Conan asked in a childish voice, "Hey, brother, who are you drawing?"
Xiaolan also looked over curiously: "This person looks like Miss Xia Jiang."
Ichiro Hatamoto was so scared that he almost threw the sketchbook away.
Because of Hatamoto Ichiro's big move, Hatamoto Akiie turned his attention here: "Even my aunt's son has a motive to kill my grandfather, right? The winning work in the painting competition was torn up by my grandfather."
Mariko Hatamoto quickly ran over to protect her son: "This is all his grandfather's fault! He doesn't appreciate this kid's talent at all!"
"You always bully Long Nan, right?" Hatamoto Akiie walked over and looked directly into Hatamoto Ichiro's eyes: "So I know it must be you, the weird guy."
"No, no!" As if frightened, Hatamoto Ichiro stuttered: "I didn't kill him, no, it wasn't me!"
However, Hatamoto Akiie ignored Hatamoto Ichiro's words and turned to look at Hatamoto Kitaro: "And once grandpa dies, Uncle Kitaro will be free, right?"
"So that's how it is. In this case, everyone's motives for committing the crime are very clear." Maori Kogoro looked at Kurokawa Kitazawa again: "Then only Kurokawa is left without a motive."
"As for motivation, I do have one." Kurokawa Keizawa was very lazy, yawned and continued: "Today, Mr. Gozo and I shook hands."
"Huh?" Maori Kogoro almost fell down. "What kind of motive is this?"
Kurokawa Keizawa shrugged, "Because of some experiences in my childhood, I hate people touching me. People around me only dare to touch me through clothes. Uncle Maori, please take this as my motivation."
Hey Hey hey.
Conan twitched his lips beside him.
Whose motive for committing a crime is so abstract?
