Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 473 Art is explosion!

"What!?"

All the guests present heard Kitahara Natsuhiro's words clearly, and some even doubted that they had heard them correctly.

After all, Kitahara Natsuyu said that Kisaragi Minezui actually wanted to kill his disciple Tokiwa Mio, and that Kisaragi Minezui also killed the others. How could that be possible!

This is a national treasure-level painter!
However, they were aware of what had happened in Nishitama City and the Tokiwa Zaibatsu during this period. First, Oki Iwamatsu died in the hotel of the Twin Towers skyscraper, and then the company's senior executives were killed.

The real culprit has not been found to this day.

Could it be that the person who committed the serial murders is really Mr. Kisaragi Mine in front of us?

Could such an old man, who was on his deathbed, really have killed so many people?

The guests present were all very curious and watched the spectacle, not afraid at all that Ruyue Fengshui would attack them.

After all, each of them is younger than Yue Fengshui, how could they possibly be no match for an old man who is about to die!

Moreover, this is the headquarters of the Tokiwa Zaibatsu, and there are security guards here.

Security guards, security guards, get him up here!

Just as the guests expected, the Tokiwa Zaibatsu's security guards immediately surrounded them and came to the stage to protect their president.

They all work for the Tokiwa Zaibatsu and are paid by them, so naturally they have to protect their boss.

If the boss is murdered, where will they find a job that saves them decades of hard work?

Moreover, the Tokiwa Zaibatsu's benefits and treatment are really good, so they naturally have to pay for their boss.

Hmph! Old man, don't harm my master!

"Teacher, is all of this true?" Tokiwa Mio looked at her teacher and asked in a deep voice.

However, when she asked the question, she already had the answer in her heart, because she saw that the string of pearls her teacher had just taken was already on the painting of Mount Fuji, because there was a hook on it, and the pearl necklace was being carried up by the hook.

If Kitahara Natsuhiro hadn't stopped her, wouldn't she have been taken up there?

If she were to actually wear it, there would only be one fate for her: death!

Thinking of this, she subconsciously touched her neck. Although nothing had happened, she still felt a stinging pain in her neck, and her face immediately contorted.

That damned old geezer!
"Hmph!" Ruyue Fengshui tapped his cane and said angrily, "Yes, I'm going to kill you!"

"I killed Hara Yoshiaki and Oki Iwamatsu too!"

"You were supposed to die anyway, but this despicable little thief stopped you!"

At this point, he couldn't help but glare fiercely at Kitahara Natsuyu, his heart filled with resentment.

If Kitahara Natsuhiro hadn't intervened, Tokiwa Mio would already be dead, dead on this painting of Mount Fuji, which would have allowed him to vent his anger.

But all of this was stopped by Kitahara Natsuhiro.

He wanted nothing more than to stab the man to death with his cane, but he couldn't bring himself to do it!
The two sides were simply not on the same level; even if he carried a bottle of poison, he wouldn't be able to do it.

After all, how could an old man on his deathbed possibly pry open a strong young man's mouth and force-feed him poison? Impossible!
He brought the poison with him in case of emergency.

If Plan A fails, then he will use Plan B to end Tokiwa Mio's sinful life and shift the blame for the murder onto someone else.

He knew very well that the police had listed Chinami Sawaguchi and others as the prime suspects, and he was not even suspected.

After all, how could an old man like him possibly commit murder?

So he wanted to kill Mio Tokiwa, but didn't want to go to jail!
They really want both! They're so greedy!

"Kisaragi Mine, even if you look at me like that, you can't kill me!" Kitahara Natsuyu smiled slightly as he looked at Kisaragi Mine's murderous gaze and released his arm: "And you actually tried to kill someone over such a trivial matter, you really are a demon!"

"Such a small matter!?"

Upon hearing this, Ruyue Fengshui became like an enraged lion, opening his blood-red maw as if to swallow Kitahara Natsuyu whole.

But his health wouldn't allow it.

"Cough cough." Ruyue Fengshui coughed as she leaned on her cane.

At that moment, officers from the Metropolitan Police Department arrived and patted him on the back to make him feel better.

The Metropolitan Police Department officers had arrived long ago, just in case.

Similarly, the team leader was Inspector Megure, and in addition, there were Shiratori, Takagi, Sato, and Chiba, the Metropolitan Police Department's F4.

However, they didn't participate in the 30-second guessing game because they were at work!
"Is Ruyue Fengshui the murderer, and for such a trivial matter?"

At this moment, Conan and Heiji Hattori below listened to Kitahara Natsuhiro's words and both fell into deep thought.

They have too few clues to unravel this case, which is still unsolved.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro somehow found out the answer to the case first, and also knew the motive for the murder.

This guy.
Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and looked at the panting Kisaragi Mineki, continuing, "Isn't it because your Mount Fuji was split in two by the Twin Towers that you had the idea to kill someone?"

Having read the original work, he already knew the answer and the motive for the murder, and could even have told Tokiwa Mio in advance so that she could be on guard.

However, he liked the idea of ​​a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, so he kept quiet and waited for the right opportunity.

There's no way around it, Tokiwa Mio is just so fragrant!
A rich woman, beautiful, and unmarried!
There are advantages to getting married, and there are advantages to not getting married, so he wants them all!
Sure enough, as things gradually became clearer, Tokiwa Mio looked at him differently, filled with gratitude!

Yes, only gratitude!

Tokiwa Mio is an adult, and the chairwoman of a conglomerate at that. How could she suddenly be captivated by Kitahara Natsuhiro's heroic rescue?

She's not a young girl anymore.

However, she was still quite grateful to Kitahara Natsuhiro, because he saved her life and also saved the Tokiwa Zaibatsu. She had to thank Kitahara Natsuhiro properly!
However, after this incident, Tokiwa Zaibatsu's stock price will definitely drop, and drop significantly. It's a real headache!

However, the fact that it didn't completely collapse is already a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune!

"Teacher, is it because of this that you killed Mr. Oki Iwamatsu and Mr. Hara Yoshiaki?" Tokiwa Mio asked in a deep voice.

She couldn't believe that her teacher would use such a ridiculous motive to kill someone; it was truly an eye-opener for her!
Yes, this motive for murder seemed quite absurd to Tokiwa Mio, and even some of those present found it ridiculous. Because they weren't painters, nor did they enjoy painting Mount Fuji, they couldn't possibly understand Kisaragi Mine's feelings.

But then again, couldn't you just change the position and keep drawing?

He insisted on staying on that hilltop and continuing to draw Mount Fuji.

Besides, at his age, why bother painting anymore? He's already achieved great success and should enjoy life to the fullest.

It can only be said that people who become artists are somewhat persistent, even obsessed.

Ruyue Fengshui is the kind of person who is obsessed.

You'd kill someone over something like this? What do you even consider human life to be?

Wait, Inspector Megure should be saying that!

“That’s right!” Mineki Kisaragi recovered and continued to argue with Mio Tokiwa: “You destroyed my Mount Fuji, so I will destroy the Tokiwa Zaibatsu that you built and this twin-tower skyscraper.”

"If you were dead, I could use my connections to get that building demolished, but unfortunately I failed!"

The proposal for the twin-tower skyscraper was approved by Iwamatsu Ohki, who also put in a lot of effort. Hara Yoshiaki was also involved. In addition, the designer had to die, and finally, Tokiwa Mio.

So he was supposed to kill four people in total, but he only killed one: Ōki Iwamatsu.

As for Hara Yoshiaki, he had already been killed when he arrived, and could only hurriedly leave behind a small wine cup before departing.

It's all those brats' fault, insisting on investigating some kind of case.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glare at Conan, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi.

They're the ones who blocked my path to revenge, they deserve to die!
"I see, I understand now!"

Upon seeing Kisaragi Minami's gaze, Conan had a flash of inspiration and immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Furthermore, it is known that Hara Yoshiaki was not killed by Kisaragi Mine. If he had killed him, then the broken wine glass should have been stained with blood.

The small wine glass taken by the police had no bloodstains, which means that Hara Yoshiaki was killed, and after his blood dried, Ruki Mine came over, put down the small wine glass, and left.

So the question is, who exactly killed Hara Yoshiaki?
For some reason, he now desperately wants to know who killed Hara Yoshiaki, though he doesn't know why.

Of course, it's for Gin.

Unfortunately, under Kitahara Natsuhiro's protection, Conan never had a second contact with Gin, so he was completely unaware that the Black Organization was also involved.

So, poor Conan was completely manipulated by Kitahara Natsuhiro!
Although Conan doesn't know who killed Hara Yoshiaki, some people present already do.

Gin!

Amuro Tooru, Jodie, and the others immediately thought of this man!
Yes, it was Gin who killed Hara Yoshiaki, because Hara Yoshiaki was also a member of the Black Organization, and he had hacked into the organization's computers to obtain some information before defecting.

In some ways, Hara Yoshiaki is a braver man than Conan!
Moreover, this guy didn't run away after doing all these things, but continued to hang around in Tokyo. He was incredibly audacious and didn't take the Black Organization seriously at all.

And that's how he got killed!

Don't be too arrogant, unless you have some kind of cheat code!
"So, Mr. Ruyue Fengshui, you also want to kill me?" the designer said.

He was a disciple of Teiji Moriya. He got this job because of his teacher's relationship with Iwamatsu Ōki, and he was quite grateful to Ōki.

But if Kisaragi Mine killed Oki Iwamatsu for this kind of thing, then he, as the designer, probably wouldn't escape either.

After all, some artists are crazy, like Kisaragi Minezu, and his own teacher, Moriya Teiji.

So he rarely visited his teachers after graduation, because he was afraid!
He was just an ordinary person and didn't want to go to his teacher who had become an artist, because he was afraid that his teacher would kill him.

It must be said that this designer is quite clear-headed.

“That’s right!” Kisaragi Minezu said bluntly, “Because you designed this building, which is one of the culprits that split my beloved Mount Fuji in two.”

Hearing this, he stopped talking and muttered to himself, "Just like the teacher, they're all crazy!"

However, he is not too worried now. After all, Ruyue Fengshui has already admitted to killing someone, so he will definitely go to jail, and he will be safe then.

Even Ruyue Fengshui is already this old; he'll probably die in prison.

What? You're saying that Kisaragi Hidemizu is a national treasure-level painter in Japan, and that there might be lawyers to defend him and prove him innocent?

It must be impossible!

First of all, Oki Iwamatsu is a city councilor in Nishitama City. He has status and background, and he is also a member of the Japanese government. If he is not found guilty and is allowed to go unpunished, then where is his authority? Will others follow suit in the future?
Secondly, there's Tokiwa Mio, the chairwoman of a zaibatsu (financial conglomerate). Although it's not a top-tier zaibatsu like the Suzuki or Ooka zaibatsu, it's still quite powerful in Japan.

Therefore, Ruyue Fengshui will definitely not be released without charge. If he is released, then dump trucks will follow.

Japan doesn't need such a powerful existence, just die!

"So all of you will die! You destroyed my Mount Fuji, and I will destroy you too, so that you will never be reincarnated!" Kisaragi Mine roared.

As I just said, Ruyue Fengshui has gone mad!
"What do you value human life?" Inspector Megure finally spoke: "You actually killed people for Mount Fuji, and so many of them at that! You'd better repent properly in prison!"

"Hmph! Tax thief, yet you speak so righteously, disgusting!" Ruyue Fengshui snorted coldly, then fell silent.

This sentence immediately ignited Inspector Megure's fury!

There was no way to avoid being publicly shamed for accusing them of tax thieves in front of so many people.

Even Takagi, Sato, and Shiratori have all turned red.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a police officer, they would have slapped him a couple of times. How could a prisoner be so arrogant? Has he never been beaten before?
"take away!"

"Yes!"

Subsequently, Kisaragi Mine was handcuffed and taken away by the Metropolitan Police Department.

Tokiwa Mio also came to Kitahara Natsuyu's side and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you so much, Mr. Kitahara."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "No need to be polite. Miss Tokiwa has been so kind to us, so of course we have to report back."

Upon hearing this, Tokiwa Mio laughed.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, an explosion suddenly occurred!
