Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 134 A big family

Yamashiro House is a typical Japanese-style building with an antique feel...

After Shiraishi came in, under the guidance of Yamashiro Koichi, he "crossed mountains and ridges" - rooms, corridors, doorways... Many places had traces of "chaos", including but not limited to scattered nuts, knocked over bedding, and broken vase fragments...

"Sorry, everyone, please be careful with your steps." Gongyi said embarrassedly at this time.

Because everyone has changed their shoes, they still need to be careful not to prick their feet...

Seeing this, Shiraishi impatiently picked up Ayako to prevent her from getting hurt accidentally.

As for the other three "most trusted subordinates", Shiraishi believes that they will not be stabbed!
Under the guidance of Koichi, everyone came to the third floor. Judging from the layout, this should be the main house where Yamashiro Zennosuke lived.

In addition to Koichi, Gu Meimen and his assistant lawyer Dai were also waiting outside the door.

"Director Shiraishi... um, it's been a while since we last met..." Dai saw Shiraishi and hurried to greet him, but she paused at first because she saw that Shiraishi was holding someone up, which looked a bit "unique".

Seeing this, Ayako struggled to get down.

"Okay, no need to be polite. Let Director Shiraishi see the scene first." Kumimon said directly from the side.

really……

As soon as the door was opened, Zennosuke was seen dead in a wheelchair, leaning back. In front of him was his small dining table, and on the carpet next to him was a pile of red wine, bread and other food that seemed to be for dinner.

"When I rushed back, my father...had already passed away." Gong Yi said with regret on his face.

Gu Meimen added, "I haven't been inside since I got here, and I told everyone not to come in again."

"Lawyer Kumimon was hired after the incident, right?" Shiraishi confirmed.

"Of course, but..." Kumemon was about to explain something.

However, Bai Shi interrupted directly and said, "Teng, you take the photo, Huigu, you just check it out."

When I called Fuji, I asked her to take the camera for evidence collection.

"Kogure, let's meet the parties involved and witnesses first." Shiraishi made this special arrangement.

"Yes!"

The three of them agreed, and then Shiraishi, Ayako, Zilian, and Koichi came to the largest reception room in the house.

It was also completely Japanese style. Shiraishi and Ayako were kneeling on one side, while the people from the Yamashiro family were kneeling in a row on the opposite side. The lawyers, Kumimon and Dai, were kneeling on the side, slightly facing Shiraishi.

Although Zi Nai was a deputy police inspector, he was the only "subordinate" at the scene, so he had to pick up the little notebook and be responsible for recording the testimony.

Looking at the family lined up in front of him, Bai Shi couldn't help but frown - considering that their father had just died, they seemed... too settled.

When facing Bai Shi, they were actually a little nervous. After all... when Bai Shi knelt down, he was as tall as them when they were standing, and as wide as a small mountain.

At this time, Gao Yue, the "real murderer who wanted to surrender", was sitting at the very end, with his head down and not saying a word.

"Director Shiraishi, this is what happened..." Gu Meimen was about to explain.

However, Shiraishi interrupted, "Everyone, please introduce yourselves first... and then tell us what you were doing before the incident."

Seeing this, Gu Meimen pursed her lips slightly, then stopped talking, knowing that Shiraishi didn't want to hear her retelling the story.

"My name is Yamashiro Koichi. I was not at home tonight because the Toudou Railway Association had a party today. After the party ended at 8 o'clock, I received a call from Yujiang on my way back and learned that something happened at home..."

This is also why Gong Yi is now dressed in a suit and tie, and is obviously very neatly dressed even at home.

Before Koichi could finish, Shiraishi interrupted and said, "That's enough. Just stop here and tell me what happened before the incident."

"Oh." Gongyi nodded honestly.

Ayako, who was standing by, frowned slightly when she saw Koichi's reaction.

The middle-aged woman in a kimono next to Gongyi said in a pretentious tone, "I am Gongyi's wife, Yujiang. After dinner, I was practicing tea ceremony in the tea room on the second floor. Just after eight o'clock, I heard what sounded like a quarrel coming from the third floor, so I hurried over..."

Bai Shi also raised his hand to signal, and she didn't continue speaking.

"I am your son, Yoshinori. I have been studying for the exam in my room. Shortly after eight o'clock, I heard a sound from upstairs that sounded like... a painful sound, and then I... oh."

The young eldest grandson Liangdian, the only third generation in the family, looked very young and had obviously just reached adulthood. He was also stopped when he reached the critical point.

Gu Meimen on the side had changed to an impolite sitting posture at this time, and was looking at Shiraishi thoughtfully, as if he realized something.

"I'm Keiji, the second son in the family. I was watching TV downstairs at 8 o'clock. I heard something fall to the ground. It was so loud that I went to... well." Keiji looked to be about 200 pounds, with a "fat otaku" written all over his face. At this point, he already knew that this giant-like Director Shiraishi wanted to hear the part, so he stopped here.

But at this time Shiraishi asked, "Wait, what show were you watching at that time?" Shiraishi wanted to check the time.

"Well...it's that kind of videotape...If you want to watch it...well, you can go and watch it..." Keiji said embarrassedly.

Shiraishi:……

His wife was standing by and rolled her eyes. "I am his wife Changzi. I was practicing the guqin in the room on the third floor at night. Suddenly I heard someone say 'stop it!' and I went to see what was going on."

Shiraishi stopped asking about the TV program and just nodded, then looked at the woman next to him.

This woman, who looked to be in her thirties but refused to admit her age and had thick foundation on her face, looked like someone who was not to be messed with. "I am Masako, my father's only daughter. I was practicing flower arrangement in my room when I heard something fall, so I rushed over... well, a minute or two after eight o'clock."

Then there are the last couple.

"I'm Long San... I was practicing my golf swing in the yard when I suddenly heard some noises." Long San looked like a playboy and his clothes seemed a bit frivolous.

"Oh... this is my wife Satsuki! She..."

Yamashiro Ryuzo looked a little flustered at this time, and immediately looked expectantly at his wife Gaoyue beside him.

"I killed my father-in-law!" Gao Yue said directly.

"What's the reason?" Bai Shi asked with a stern face, as if he didn't have any friendship with her.

"I... I have been taking care of my sick father-in-law for the past three years, but his attitude has always been very rude. Today he even scolded me about dinner, so I... acted impulsively... I am so sorry!" Gao Yue said as she changed from kneeling to sitting on the ground.

"By the way, is there no one else at home? If there is a servant, please come out for a moment." Bai Shi suddenly asked in confusion.

"No, my father-in-law is a very conservative person. He doesn't like having servants at home. The household chores are taken care of by us, the daughters-in-law." Yu Jiang explained at this time.

"You mean... three?" Bai Shi pointed to the three daughters-in-law of the deceased.

You all practice guqin, tea ceremony, and flower arrangement... it doesn't look like you do any housework!

Just by looking at the way she's dressed, one can tell at a glance that Gao Yue is the only one working in the family, and... this is not an ordinary "home".

Taking care of such a large family, plus an elderly person who cannot take care of himself, Shiraishi was able to understand Gao Yue's condition when he met her by chance before.

but……

Is it really because of this that he suddenly killed people?
It's not like there's no such possibility...

"That's right! Mika... cough, Gaoyue is usually very busy, and we can all understand that she just lost control of her emotions for a moment!" Masako said hurriedly at this time.

Towards the "enemy who murdered her father", she was quite reasonable, but...

Judging from the name she blurted out, it seems that she doesn't approve of Gao Yue as her sister-in-law at all?

"It's like this, so we first asked Lawyer Kumemon to come... Then Gaoyue also said that they were alumni who knew you, and after all, our Yamashiro family... is also quite noticeable, so we took the trouble to ask you to come here in person in private." Koichi said very sincerely at this time.

"That's right! I hope this matter can be resolved in a way that has the least impact on the Yamashiro family... and Gao Yue!" Ryuzo also said hurriedly.

Bai Shi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand the general situation. It is a blessing for Gao Yue to have such a reasonable family like you..."

At this time, Fujiya had returned and reported to Shiraishi: "Director, the basic information of the deceased has been reviewed..."

Bai Shi interrupted, "Well, you can sort it out later. Just leave a video record for everyone first... the kind that is needed for daily life." He winked at her as he said this.

Teng was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still responded, "Yes."

After hearing what Shiraishi said, the Yamashiro family certainly wouldn't refuse, and asked Fuji to take photos one by one...

Gu Meimen's eyes turned straight at this time - daily need? When would the first discoverer be needed to leave such a record?

However, he did not say anything. This had nothing to do with his commission. There was no need to offend Shiraishi by talking too much... and there was no need to offend Suzuki Ayako!
“Okay, after that… Detective Huigu, you will be in charge of the work at the scene, and ask the people in the agency to handle the scene normally.

"Narcissism, come back with me...

"Gao Yue, you have to go back with us too. Don't worry, just tell me the truth and I will take care of the rest."

Bai Shi spoke to the three of them separately.

"Yes!" Although Huigu was a little puzzled as to why his partner was called away, he did not question it too much.

The narcissist himself was also puzzled, why did he ask himself to go back together? He didn't want me to work overtime?
