Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 169 If the mistress is not you, could it be me?
In the dim hotel, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people breathless. The sound of rain that had started falling at some point was like the devil's low moan, beating at everyone's nerves.

"In that case, the murderer is..."

Hayashi Hideichi's reasoning made everyone look at Otomo Hiroki.

"Lin-kun, you're a pretty good storyteller," Otomo Hiroki said with a sullen expression and a sneer of disdain. "But you can't just assume I'm the criminal based on your imagination, right? The paint on Togo Takashi's body is the real evidence."

"You're right, the paint is indeed evidence, but it's used to prove you!"

As Lin Xiuyi spoke, he observed the changes in Otomo Hiroki's expression.
"On the cliff, you were the first one to discover Togo Takashi in the pool. You were the one who painted the paint on the cliff edge before you called us over."

"Afterwards, you ignored the danger of being ten meters high and jumped into the pool, but made the rest of us take a detour."

"Your leap without hesitation may seem brave, but it actually has another purpose."

Lin Xiuyan paused, his eyes fixed on Otomo Hiroki.

"You must be the first to reach Togo Takashi. Only in this way can you apply the prepared paint to his head before others arrive."

"As for the source of the paint, it's likely that it splashed on Mr. Akita's clothes at the gas station at the foot of the mountain."

"But the trunk of my car should be locked," Akita Keito said, his face full of confusion, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character. "He doesn't have a key, how did he open it?"

"When we came back from looking for Ono Yukiko, Mr. Otomo said he was going to take a shower on the second floor, but he quickly came down. He must have stolen Mr. Akita's car keys at that time."

Lin Xiuyi explained slowly,
"Mr. Otomo then left the hotel, using the excuse of going to his car to find some clean clothes, opened the trunk of Mr. Akita's car, and scraped some paint to fabricate evidence."

"What nonsense!"

Otomo Hiroki's face flushed crimson instantly, and he waved his hands wildly, obviously getting a little furious.

"You've said so much, but where's the evidence? If you don't have any, you're slandering me!"

"Don't be anxious, Mr. Otomo," Lin Xiuyi asked calmly, "Mr. Akita, is there a particularly large cactus in the trunk of your car?"

"That's right," Akita Keito nodded, "I bought it on the way here and planned to take it home to raise."

"In feng shui, cacti can bring good luck and dispel bad luck, helping their owners avoid being plotted against by villains," Lin Xiuyi said with emotion. "Mr. Akita, you have to thank that cactus very much. It's thanks to it that we were able to preserve the evidence."

Hearing what Lin Xiuyi said, Otomo Hiroki's body trembled violently as if it was hit by an electric current.

He quickly curled up his left hand, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.

"Could he have touched that big cactus while scraping the paint?" Hibiki Eri guessed with a frown.

"Yes, not only was he pricked, but he was pricked badly," Lin Xiuyi said with a smile, "I found a lot of fallen cactus thorns on the ground behind Mr. Akita's car."

"Mr. Otomo removed the larger thorns immediately, but some smaller ones were difficult to remove. He didn't dare to spend too much time outside, so he had to rush back to the hotel."

"After that, Mr. Otomo would occasionally pick at the palm of his left hand. I think that was the hand that was pricked by the cactus."

"this is not……"

Otomo Hiroki still wanted to defend himself, his lips trembling as he tried to find a reason.

But he didn't notice that Mrs. Togo, whose hands and feet were tied, had slowly moved to his legs like a snake waiting for an opportunity, then suddenly opened her mouth and bit Otomo Hiroki's ankle.

"what!"

Otomo Hiroki let out a scream, and he kicked hard, kicking his feet around.

Lin Xiuyi and others rushed forward and hurriedly pulled the two apart.

"It was you who killed Long! I will avenge him!" Mrs. Dongxiang had a ferocious expression, her hair was disheveled on her face, and her mouth was full of blood. She looked extremely terrifying, like a devil.

"So what if I killed him?"

Otomo Hiroki covered his bleeding ankle, and the pain on his face was gradually replaced by hatred.

"I love Mio so much and treat her so well, but what happened? Mio turned out to be a man!"

"Haha, I was actually deceived by a man in terms of feelings and money!"

"Whenever I think about the intimate things I did with him in the past, I feel sick and want to vomit!"

Akita Keito and Moriyama Yuta next to them nodded in sympathy, and even Hayashi Shuichi felt a little sympathy for them.

After all the hard work, I finally got a girlfriend, but she turned out to be a boy! What man can stand this?

……

Because it was Hayashi Xiuyi who called, the Investigation Division 1 took the hotel case very seriously, and Officer Matsumoto and Officer Megure rushed over together.

After a careful search, the police found the ancestral necklace that was stolen from Akita Keito in the proprietress's house.

In addition, the police also found several diaries in Togo Takashi's room. The pages of some of the diaries had turned yellow, and it was obvious that they were quite old.

The diary records in detail that because of his father's affairs, Togo Takashi was abused by his mother since childhood and was instilled with the idea that all men are unfaithful and trash.

Growing up in such an environment, Togo Takashi's personality became more and more extreme. He hated men, liked to wear women's clothes, and regarded himself as a woman.

In recent years, the hotel's business has been declining, and life has become difficult for the mother and son.

With the suggestion and help of his mother, Togo Takashi, who was short, thin, but handsome, dressed up as a woman to attract business for the hotel.

During this period, the truth was revealed several times, and Togo Takashi, whose identity as a man was exposed, was severely beaten by the customers, which made him hate men even more.

Afterwards, he started soliciting customers for hotels while dressed as a woman, and gradually developed into defrauding men of their property.

Mrs. Togo not only did not stop this, but she also asked her son to take the victim back to the hotel.

This not only made it easier for Togo Takashi to disappear in a woman's disguise and escape, but also gave Mrs. Togo the opportunity to watch the pain expressed by the victim after she couldn't find her lover.

According to the records in the diary, there were more than ten men deceived by Togo Takashi.

After reading these diaries, everyone's expressions were somewhat subtle, some were shocked, some were regretful...

"It turns out that Mrs. Togo is the kappa in the legend," Fujimine Yukiko sighed, "Not only did she hurt herself, she also destroyed her son."

Kisaki Eri snorted, glancing at Hayashi Shuichi and Fujimine Yukiko with a hint of dissatisfaction: "After all, the root cause of all this is the husband who betrayed Mrs. Togo and the mistress who destroyed her family!"

Fujimine Yukiko shrank her neck a little guiltily, then she reacted and glared back.

I'm not a mistress, why are you looking at me like that!

If the mistress is not you, could it be me?
Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Fujimine were staring at each other.

Lingzi bit her lip and looked at them unconvinced.

I am Onii-chan’s fiancée, and my parents have wanted to arrange a marriage for us for a long time!

"No matter what, breaking the law is always wrong," Lin Xiuyi quickly coughed, breaking the somewhat tense atmosphere, "Okay, it's time for us to go back."
