Chapter 281 Accidental Killing 2 (10,000 words daily, please continue reading)

Dressed all in black, he looked like a burglar breaking into a house.

But this woman is clearly a beauty; even if she's poor, she wouldn't stoop to being a thief, would she?
Can't I sell it? Or is this supposed to be a persona of someone who is poor but has high aspirations?

The deceased's arms looked long and fair, and it seemed that he was holding something before he died, with his fingers still in a clenching position.

The drizzling rain, coupled with the occasional flashes of lightning illuminating the rainy night, made the deceased's terrified expression appear somewhat horrifying.

"She was clearly crushed to death. Everyone except Tomizawa Yuzo was with her when she died, so the murderer can only be Tomizawa Yuzo," Kogoro Mori deduced.

"Uncle Maori, have you forgotten the footprints we saw at noon?"

"Hmm? -- That's possible, but where did he hide this afternoon?"

There are footprints here.

Xia Chuan pointed to the footprints on the ground, which had turned into small puddles, and said, "Judging from the size, they should be the same as the footprints I found by the window at noon."

Following the direction of the footprints, you can see the Tomizawa family.

"Could the murderer be hiding in Tomizawa's house?"

Conan had a sudden inspiration: "That's it, Uncle Mori, it's not that we couldn't find him before, but that we didn't expect him to be hiding in the villa."

At the time, both of them treated each other as outsiders. When an outsider is discovered spying, their first instinct is to leave the scene.

Unexpectedly, the murderer had played a trick, hiding in the Tomizawa family's villa.

Xia Chuan and Mao Li nodded and walked closely toward the villa.

Sure enough, several very obvious footprints were left at the entrance of the Tomizawa family's villa.

The muddy footprints indicated that the murderer had just entered the room.

Xia Chuan stepped forward and gently turned the doorknob, only to find that the door was not locked.

Pushing open the door, the footprints continued to extend inward under the light.

Time goes back to ten minutes ago.

Tomizawa Taichi, the eldest son of Tomizawa Tetsuji, was standing in a corner of the Suzuki family villa with an earphone in his ear.

The sound of conversations coming from inside the Suzuki family villa came through the headphones.

He had installed a listening device in his father's watch and was currently eavesdropping on their conversations.

When I hear myself being criticized, I unconsciously clench my fists.

The reason for installing the listening device is quite simple.

Kill your father!
The motive for the murder wasn't just what happened at noon, but also what was said earlier.

What finally made him decide was learning from the publisher a few days earlier why his novel had been consistently rejected.

It turned out that his father had secretly contacted the owners of several publishing houses in Tokyo, demanding that they not publish his work.

That's right, it was my father's doing.

At first, he thought it was because his work wasn't rigorous enough or eye-catching enough, but the reason turned out to be his father.
In addition, his living expenses had been cut off several months earlier.

Not a single penny can be withdrawn from the card.

The father's goal was very clear—to get him to come home and inherit the family business!
From that moment on, he harbored murderous intentions towards his father.

After planning for many days, he finally chose today to carry out his murder plan in Izu.

He deliberately caused the antenna at home to break during the day so that his father would go to the Suzuki house to watch a baseball game.

He had investigated and found that the match ended at 10 p.m., when his father would definitely go back to his room to sleep, making it the most opportune time to make his move.

As Tomizawa Taichi listened to the conversation, a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

Father is coming out.

If you kill him, he will be free, and no one will nag him anymore.

He will inherit one-third of the Tomizawa family's assets, which is undoubtedly a great thing.

He could already smell the scent of freedom; the title of a renowned novelist seemed to beckon him.

Tomizawa Taichi lowered his head, put on his gloves, and squatted down to pick up the stone he had prepared in advance.

The lights in the Suzuki house flickered, and inside the window, the shadow of Tetsuji Tomizawa was moving.

"Hurry up, come out quickly, it won't hurt, I will do my best to make you suffer less."

It's heartbreaking to hear a son say such things.

However, accidents always happen unexpectedly.

Before Tomizawa Tetsuji could even leave the house, the lights flickered inexplicably and then disappeared along with the lightning.

"Could the lightning have caused a circuit malfunction? Damn this weather!"

Tomizawa's face turned green. In the pitch black, he couldn't even see people clearly, and it was uncertain whether he would even be able to get out in this situation.

"hateful!"

He slammed his fist against the wall.

Just as he was worrying about what to do next, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing water behind him.

That must be the sound of someone stepping on the ground and splashing water.

"Is there another person, Xiong San? Didn't he go to the art studio?"

Tomizawa Taichi turned around nervously, looking in the direction from which the sound came from.

Less than five meters behind him, around the corner, a figure stood leaning against the wall.

There was no moonlight or lamplight, and it was pitch black so he couldn't see anything except a blurry figure.

"Oh no! We've been discovered!"

A cold glint flashed in Tomizawa's eyes. Today's plan had to be carried out without any mishaps!

How to do?
Need I say more?

Now that we've seen it, let's die together!

"Yuzo, I'm sorry—"

It might not be a bad thing if one person is left out when it comes time to split the money.

Thinking of this, Tomizawa Taichi remained silent and rushed towards the figure.

The other party was clearly caught off guard, stunned for a moment, and then took a step back, trying to escape after realizing something was wrong.

However, those two seconds of stunned silence had already sealed his fate!
boom--

The muffled groan of the stone hitting the skull was drowned out by the heavy rain.

"what--"

The figure let out a wail and fell backward, crashing onto the wet ground.

At this point, he still had room to resist and raised his hand to try to stop Tomizawa Taiichi.

Tomizawa Tai remained expressionless, showing no mercy like a robot, pinning the other person down and repeatedly moving the stone in his hand up and down.

The muffled thuds gradually drowned out the groans of the figures, and soon they were completely still.

That's true, a normal person couldn't withstand such a large rock for more than a few blows.

"Is he dead?"

During the insurance period, Tomizawa Taichi smashed the glass seven or eight times before he snapped out of his daze when he heard the message in his earpiece that he wanted to go out and check.

"It looks like I have to hide the body first, and wait for those people to go out and check before I sneak into the Suzuki house and kill my father!"

Just as Tomizawa Taichi was about to pull the person away and hide them, a bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky.

Lightning pierced through the dark clouds and struck the sea, illuminating the world and providing enough light for Tomizawa Tai to see the identity of the person in front of him.

"Why is it her?"

For a fleeting moment, I could see the other person's face clearly in the flash of lightning.

Then Tomizawa Taichi was completely dumbfounded.

He plopped down on the ground, his mind completely blank.

The woman in front of him was his second brother's wife. She had only recently joined the wealthy family and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the life of a rich wife before she passed away due to her eldest brother's fatal blow.

As she lay dying, she didn't even see who killed her; her wide eyes were filled with fear and longing for the world.

Xia Chuan and his group didn't give Tomizawa Taiichi much time to contemplate life. The conversation in the earpiece made Tomizawa Taiichi realize that he couldn't stay where he was now; he needed to hide.

The murder plan went awry, and his previously calm demeanor turned into a state of panic. He instinctively ran towards his home.

When people make mistakes or feel afraid, only home can provide a sense of security.

Tomizawa Taichi was so nervous that he didn't even take off his shoes before rushing into the living room after closing the door.

The dark living room did not put him at ease.

"No, I have to hide in my room."

Tomizawa Taichi turned around and was about to go upstairs when he suddenly felt himself bump into something after taking only a few steps.

what's the situation?
Before Tomizawa could even look up, he felt a dark shadow flash past him.

"Varied"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt something pierce his neck.

It's not so bad to say it hurts, it's like being pricked by a needle, but the fact that something like this happened in the dark makes people instinctively feel scared and uneasy.

Fear of the unknown drove him to struggle and push away the dark figure in front of him.

He touched his neck but found nothing there. However, he did feel something prick his neck, and the pain became more and more pronounced.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a sharp pain spreading through his body, and his hands and feet lost their strength within seconds.

"Father, rest assured, I will hold the grandest funeral for you, far more elaborate than the funeral of the Yamamoto family last time," the shadowy figure suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Tomizawa Taiichi's eyes widened. He recognized the voice; it was none other than the second brother's voice.

No wonder, no wonder my second sister-in-law was here; it turns out they were also planning to kill our father.

That was too hasty. If he had known, he wouldn't have taken any action at all; he could have just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of others' labor.

However, it's too late to know now.

The pain in his neck gradually disappeared, but this was not because his condition was improving; rather, it was because his sensory abilities were diminishing.

"Reaching two."

He only had time to utter those two words as a farewell to the world. "Huh?"

Tomizawa Tatsuji's expression changed slightly after he finished his speech about killing someone. Why did that voice sound so familiar?

If I remember correctly, that's my older brother's voice.

"How could it be you? How could it be you? It should be Father!"

Tomizawa Tatsuji plopped down on the ground, his eyes glazed over.

The one who should have died was our father, not our eldest brother. Our eldest brother shouldn't be here at this time.

"No, we have to hide the body. Although it was an accident, it's good that there's one less person to divide the inheritance. As long as we leave quickly after killing my father, we won't be exposed."

Tomizawa Tatsuji got up from the ground, trying to calm himself down.

"By the way, where's Aiko? Where is she? She's so smart, she must have a plan!"

The plan to kill the father was actually his wife Aizi's idea. She had just gone to the power distribution room to sabotage the power supply, and should have returned by now.

"They've been without power for so long, have they not come back yet? Has something happened?"

Tatsuji Tomizawa and Aiko Tomizawa arrived at the villa an hour ago.

The original plan was to pretend to be a robber breaking into the house, kill the father, and then rush back to Tokyo overnight to create an alibi. However, Tomizawa Tetsuji did not play by the rules and went to the Suzuki house ahead of time.

But now that we are here, we can’t go back empty-handed.

Left with no other choice, he and his daughter devised a new plan and decided to take advantage of the poor lighting conditions on a rainy night to sabotage the electrical box and create an opportunity to get their hands dirty.

The plan has taken an unexpected turn, and he must immediately discuss with his daughter how to proceed.

The sudden sound made Tomizawa Tatsuji's expression freeze. He swallowed twice and looked towards the entrance.

"Is it Aiko?"

Tomizawa Tatsuji quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, forced a smile, and prepared to walk out.

Before he could even step out of the room, the smile that had just appeared on his face vanished.

Someone walked in. Although it was dark, he could tell that there were two and a half figures.

Two men of normal height, and another figure less than a meter tall.

This isn't right.

I only have one daughter!
"who are you?"

Conan pointed the beam at Tatsuji Tomizawa.

Then, with a surprised expression, he blurted out, "Brother Xiong San?"

"Don't you guys think his hairstyle is different from Tomizawa Yuzo's?"

Kogoro Mouri clearly didn't hear Natsukawa's reminder.

"It really was you, Tomizawa Yuzo!" Kogoro Mori snapped, demanding, "You killed that unidentified woman outside, didn't you?"

"What woman outside?"

Tomizawa Tatsuji took a step back, about to run away, when he heard Kogoro Mouri mention the woman and exclaimed in surprise, "Is it Aiko? You killed her!?"

In an instant, all the details of their relationship, from dating to marriage, flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

He was enraged by the news of his lover's death.

"Damn it! How dare you lay a hand on my favorite son! I will not let you get away with this!"

He was a rebellious son who could be killed by his own father, yet he was deeply in love with his wife.

Tomizawa Tatsuji pulled out the syringe he had just used; some poison still remained on it. Even if a single injection didn't kill him, it would be dangerous.

"go to hell!"

Tomizawa Tatsuji raised his right hand, the syringe flashing with a cold light.

The next moment, he charged forward like a bull, his target being Kogoro Mouri, who had just spoken.

"Uncle Mori, I'm leaving this to you. You mentioned at noon that you'd do a back throw."

"no problem."

Kogoro Mouri sneered, rolled up his sleeves and straightened his collar, his nonchalant posture paired with his sharp, hawk-like eyes as he looked at the charging Tomisawa Tatsuji.

"Kid, you dare to kill someone in front of a famous detective? You're tired of living, aren't you?"

Kogoro Mori easily dodged Tatsuji Tomizawa's swung syringe by turning to his left, then grabbed the other's wrist and twisted it.

The pain in his wrist caused him to drop the syringe, and before Tatsuji Tomizawa could make any other move, Kogoro Mouri started showing off his skills.

With a smooth yet steady motion, Kogoro Mori spun 180 degrees and delivered a powerful elbow strike to Tatsuji Tomizawa's abdomen.

The abdominal pain made Tomizawa Tatsuji's eyes widen suddenly, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of sour water. If he hadn't missed dinner, he probably would have vomited it all up.

"Uncle Mori is still pretty amazing," Natsukawa commented, arms crossed.

Conan nodded.

Putting aside his unreliability most of the time, Uncle Mori is indeed rarely matched when it comes to judo.

The next moment, Kogoro Mori executed a back throw, combining his waist and stance into a perfect stance.

boom!
Dust rises.

After a loud noise, Tomizawa Tatsuji fell and crashed onto the CCTV screen in the living room.

Thankfully, there was a power outage; otherwise, the wiring problems caused by the person being embedded in the circuit might have resulted in electrocution.

"Good work!"

Xia Chuan gave a thumbs up.

"It's alright~" Kogoro Mouri scratched the back of his head.

Conan took two steps forward, turned over the lying-on-the-ground Tomizawa Tatsuji, and carefully examined his face.

“He looks a lot like Xiong San, but they are definitely not the same person.”

“Tomizawa Yuzo said he had two brothers, and this guy might be one of them.” Natsukawa glanced at the heavy rain outside the window and said to Kogoro Mori, “Uncle Mori, you deal with this guy first. I’ll go to the power distribution room and see if there’s any way to restore power.”

"I'll go as well."

Xia Chuan glanced at Conan, feeling that Conan was following him very closely today.

Even when Conan was fishing in the afternoon, he would frequently go to the beach to check on him, almost like he was guarding against a thief.

The power distribution room was right next to the art studio. When the two of them walked into the art studio, they ran into Tomizawa Yuzo, who was peeking out with a bewildered look on his face.

"Um, what happened? I just heard screams."

He originally wanted to come out and take a look, but after searching the art studio for a long time, he couldn't find a flashlight.

Moreover, she had just had a fight with her father and didn't want to see him again.

Although he was a little worried about his fiancée, he figured that with so many people around, nothing would happen. Besides, it wasn't Ayako Suzuki's voice, so he stayed in the studio and didn't go out.

"Brother Xiong San, have you been staying in the art studio the whole time?"

Tomizawa Yuzo nodded.

Xia Chuan curled his lip. In this situation, the other party still had the mind to stay in the art studio and didn't even worry about his fiancée. If something happened later, he would probably be the kind of person who would abandon his fiancée when disaster struck.

After giving the other party a look of disdain, Xia Chuan still explained the reason.

"The power distribution room is locked. Only our family and the Suzuki family have the key. I'll go with you."

Tomizawa Yuzo jumped out of the window, then suddenly remembered something, glanced at the Suzuki family villa and asked, "My father didn't come out with me, did he?"

"No."

It seems there is indeed a significant conflict between the father and son.

"That sound just now."

"Let's go check out the power distribution room first, and I'll explain to you later." Xia Chuan shook his head, gesturing for the other person to open the door.

The three of them arrived at the door of the power distribution room and found that the door lock was on the bolt and the door was fully open.

"It seems the power outage was part of their pre-planned strategy."

"them?"

"You'll find out later."

Xia Chuan was unwilling to say more. In this situation, it was obvious that Conan's watch-shaped searchlight was not enough. It was best to fix it as soon as possible.

Xia Chuan went straight up to check the situation.

"Uncle Xia Chuan can repair electrical circuits?"

"Men who know a little bit of everything are more likely to be liked by girls."

"."

Conan pursed his lips, thinking, "What's with this? It's like they're questioning me."

Tomizawa Yuzo nodded in agreement, agreeing that Natsukawa's statement made a lot of sense.

"how's it going?"

After fiddling with it for a while, Conan asked.

"It's not a big problem, just a broken fuse. Luckily, there's a spare fuse here." Xia Chuan installed the spare fuse, pulled the switch, and the distribution box immediately resumed operation.

Power was fully restored to the villa area, and the previously dark villa district finally returned to normal.

"Mr. Yuzo and I will carry the body into the villa. Conan, you go and call the police."

Conan nodded in agreement.

"A corpse!?"

Tomizawa Yuzo was shocked.

What's going on? I left not long ago, how come there's a corpse?

"Go and take a look; the deceased might be someone you know."

Led by Natsukawa, Tomizawa Yuzo approached the corpse with a heavy heart.
