Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 282 A Tragedy Created by Accident and Coincidence

The body was submerged in water, letting the rain pound against it.

The blood had stopped flowing, and the ground was cleaner than when the person had just died, thanks to the rain.

Using the faint moonlight and the light emanating from the villa, Tomizawa Yuzo mustered his courage to look at the other person's face.

"How could this be her!"

Tomizawa Yuzo staggered a couple of steps and almost fell to the ground, but Natsukawa caught him in time.

"You do know her? Who is she?" Xia Chuan asked again.

"This is my second brother's wife."

"Your second brother's wife?" Xia Chuan pondered for two seconds and turned to look at the Fuzawa family's villa: "Doesn't your second brother's hairstyle look a bit like Uncle Mori's?"

"Yes"

Tomizawa Yuzo already had a bad feeling. His sister-in-law was dead, so what about his second brother? Could it be that he was also dead?

To think that someone would do such a cruel and inhumane thing, he must use the power of the Tomizawa family to make sure that the other party spends his whole life in prison, picking up soap every day!

"What a tragedy." Xia Chuan clicked his tongue and shook his head.

Natsukawa's expression confirmed Tomizawa Yuzo's suspicions.

His eyes turned bloodshot in an instant.

He immediately ran towards his own villa.

Xia Chuan glanced in that direction just now, and if he's not mistaken, his second brother should be home.

As for the sister-in-law on the ground...

Perhaps his father was right about something; this sister-in-law was indeed of unknown origin, and sometimes she spoke in a sarcastic and unpleasant way, which even he found hard to stand.

His relationship with his second brother had cooled considerably after the latter got married, so he cared more about his second brother's life or death than the corpse on the ground.

Tomizawa Yuzo entered the house without even taking off his shoes.

Logically speaking, rich young masters like him should be very particular about etiquette, but at this moment he couldn't care less about that.

As soon as he entered, he saw sparse muddy footprints on the ground.

The footprints were too messy, which made him even more nervous, and he hurriedly followed the footprints into the living room.

"Mr. Mori?"

Tomizawa Yuzo entered the room and immediately saw Mouri Kogoro, followed by his second brother who was tied up.

The living room floor was also covered in footprints, and the large CRT television was even smashed, with parts scattered all over the place.

He glanced around the living room.

Unexpectedly, I discovered another person I never thought I would meet.

"Big brother is here too?"

"Are these two your brothers?"

Kogoro Mouri put down the phone, his expression still serious even though he had just been calling the police.

Tomizawa Taichi's body was discovered after the power was restored. At first, he thought Tomizawa Tatsuji was the murderer who killed the woman outside, but after discovering Tomizawa Taichi's body, he dispelled his previous guess.

The woman outside was probably killed by Tomizawa Taiichi.

Because of the two brothers, only Tomizawa Taichi was wearing gloves, and the gloves were stained with blood.

The mud on his feet also proves this point; Tomizawa Tatsuji's shoes were clean.

"What...what happened?"

Kogoro Mouri pointed to the man who was only discovered after the power was restored and said, "He was probably killed by your second brother."

"How can it be!"

The three brothers had always had a good relationship, and he didn't believe that his second brother would kill his eldest brother; it made no sense at all.

"How is it impossible?"

Xia Chuan walked in at that moment, picked up the syringe from the ground and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your second brother killed your eldest brother with this syringe."

He was just about to use this thing to attack Mr. Mori, but luckily Mr. Mori reacted quickly, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xia Chuan held the syringe up to the light and examined it. "The yellowish-brown liquid must be snake venom. With such a dose of venom, it should only take a few seconds to kill your brother."

“That’s right, I found a dark red needle mark on Tomizawa Taiichi’s neck. If I’m not mistaken, it is indeed as Natsukawa said.”

Tomizawa Yuzo sat down on the ground with a thud. Wasn't his second brother the one who killed his second sister-in-law outside?
"What exactly happened? Did my eldest brother and second sister-in-law have an affair?"

He couldn't help but guess like this. He knew very well what kind of person his second sister-in-law was. She was naturally promiscuous, so it was entirely possible that she would do something like this.

The eldest brother and his sister-in-law came to the villa to have an affair. Then, for some unknown reason, the second brother discovered them and decided to catch them in the act. After confirming the affair was true, he suddenly attacked and killed them.

"What about my second brother? What happened to him too?"

Although Tomizawa Tatsuji was tied up, he didn't seem to be alive.

"Could it be that he committed suicide after killing someone out of guilt?"

Tomizawa Yuzo almost collapsed. It was supposed to be a joyous day, but both of his brothers were gone.

"No, he's still alive, but murder is a serious crime, and he'll probably be spending his days in prison."

Kogoro Mori shook his head and sighed, "Your Tomizawa family is really messy. What kind of grudges and hatred do you have that you don't even spare your own brothers?"

Xia Chuan rolled his eyes. "You still underestimate the Tomizawa family. They even wanted to kill their own father."

Logically speaking, it should have been Tomizawa Tetsuji who died, but now the other party is still alive, while his son and daughter-in-law have died, which is very strange.

"No, I need to find out."

After saying that, Fu Zexiong took three big strides to his second brother and shook him vigorously: "Second brother, wake up quickly and tell me what happened. Killing your sister-in-law is one thing, but why did you even kill your eldest brother?"

We're triplets, we're still connected by blood, how dare you!"

While Tomizawa Yuzo was shouting and yelling, Conan had already arrived at the Tomizawa family villa with the others.

Upon hearing the noise and turning around to see his father, Tomizawa Yuzo couldn't stop his tears from falling.

"Father, the eldest son cheated on his wife with the second son's wife, and as a result, the second son killed them both!"

When Tomizawa Tetsuji saw his second daughter-in-law's body outside, he became a little nervous and sensed something was wrong. Upon hearing this, he felt his blood rush to his head and almost died of anger.

He clutched his chest, opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could catch his breath, he fell backward.

"."

Xia Chuan was dumbfounded; Tomizawa Yuzo's imagination was truly remarkable!

It's almost as good as Detective Conan.

The fact that there was no mud or water stains on the soles of Tomizawa Tatsuji's feet indicates that he was definitely not the one who killed his wife. It was probably Tomizawa Taiichi who did it, since only the soles of his feet had obvious mud and water stains.

As for why Tomizawa Tatsuji killed Tomizawa Taiichi.

He either witnessed his wife being murdered by Tomizawa Taichi, or he had the same goal as Tomizawa Taichi: to kill his father, but mistakenly killed him because the room was too dark.

Xia Chuan felt that the latter was more likely.

It was too dark when the power went out. To witness Tomizawa Aiko's murder, one would have to see it up close. Tomizawa Tatsuji's shoes were so clean, and his body was also clean, with no signs of being wet in the rain, so it was impossible.

"Um, Mr. Yuzo, are you...?"

Seeing that Natsukawa had no intention of explaining, Kogoro Mouri prepared to step in and explain the situation. He also noticed the mud on Tomizawa Taichi's feet.

However, neither Tomizawa nor his son paid him any attention.

As if in a final burst of energy, Tomizawa Tetsuji jumped up and walked towards Tomizawa Tatsuji, tears welling in his eyes as he cursed, "You bastard, killing your own wife is bad enough, but you even attacked Taiichi, who is your own brother!"

"It's just infidelity. Your wife was never a virtuous woman to begin with. I've already hired a detective to investigate, and they're sure they'll find evidence. Why are you so desperate?"

Good heavens, that mouth of his is really foul; no wonder his son doesn't like him.

Frankly speaking, Ayako Suzuki probably won't have an easy time marrying into a family like that.

"Can you please let me finish what I have to say?"

Kogoro Mouri helplessly shrugged. What kind of weirdos are the Tomizawa family? He hadn't even finished speaking before his mind started to fill in the blanks.

"Mr. Mori, please stop talking. Give my brother some face."

Kogoro Mori:
Snapped--

The crisp sound of a slap woke Tomizawa Tatsuji up.

When Tomizawa Tatsuji woke up, he was still a little dazed and felt pain all over his body, obviously the back throw he had just received was quite forceful.

"Father, what are you doing here?"

"Why can't I be here? If they're capable of killing their own flesh and blood, why would they be afraid of me finding out?"

"What?" (O_o)??
Tomizawa Tatsuji touched his face in bewilderment, then, remembering that his wife might have been killed by Mouri Kogoro, he immediately glared at him angrily.

If he weren't tied up, he probably would have pounced on him by now.

However, this look was interpreted differently by Tomizawa Yuzo and Tomizawa Tetsuji.

That's clearly the look of rage after being caught; that expression definitely shows resentment at being caught by Kogoro Mouri after committing murder.

"Da Er, stop being so stubborn."

From his superior position, Tomizawa Tetsuji slapped his second son across the face again. The crisp sound made everyone think to themselves that it was no wonder he had three sons; he didn't seem to care at all when he hit them. "Second brother, don't worry. As long as you repent and turn yourself in, Father and I will definitely help you."

That's a rather sarcastic way of saying it.

Natsukawa could tell that Tomizawa Yuzo's initial intentions were good, but the way he said them somehow gave off a "green tea" vibe.

It gives off a vibe of royals vying for the emperor's favor.

Palace intrigue drama, so exciting!

Kogoro Mouri rolled his eyes, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped forward to pull the person away.

He was afraid that Tomizawa Tetsuji would give someone a concussion, and besides, things really weren't as they thought!

"President Tomizawa, let me finish. Things aren't as bad as they seem!"

"Uh?"

Tomizawa Tetsuji was taken aback, then jogged to his eldest son's side: "Taichi isn't dead, right? When will the ambulance arrive?"

“He is indeed dead, I have checked that, there is no doubt about it. What I want to say is that the case is not what you think.”

"what happened?"

Tomizawa Tetsuji finally recovered a bit and displayed the composure expected of a company president, asking solemnly, "Is there some other hidden story behind this?"

"In fact, it was your eldest son who killed your second daughter-in-law."

Although the reason is unknown, his feet were covered in mud and grime, and he was wearing gloves with bloodstains on them.

Upon hearing this, Tomizawa Tetsuji looked intently and found that it was indeed true.

There were bloodstains on her eldest son's gloves. A blood test would confirm whether the blood belonged to Tomizawa Aiko.

"But there's no reason for it. The two of them rarely exchange more than a few words, so there shouldn't be any motive."

Conan glanced at the other person and thought that Tomizawa Taichi probably wanted to kill his own father.

The antenna at the Tomizawa family's house, and the footprints outside the window—the person connected to both of these must be Tomizawa Tetsuji. Therefore, Tomizawa Taichi's target should be his own father.

As for the reason, it should be related to the fact that Tomizawa Tetsuji has been preventing Tomizawa Taichi from becoming a novelist.

"It might have been an accidental killing," Conan said.

"Accidental killing?"

Everyone present, except for Xia Chuan, exclaimed in surprise.

"Kid, this is none of your business, don't talk nonsense!"

Kogoro Mouri did not believe it was an accidental killing.

This is most likely a drama of a wealthy family fighting over inheritance.

It's normal for the Tomizawa Group to have such a large and powerful family business. After all, Tomizawa Tetsuji gave birth to triplets, and the sons were bound to have objections to the division of the family fortune into three parts.

"Uncle Mori, why don't you let Conan finish what he has to say? I think he makes a good point."

Xia Chuan stopped Kogoro Mouri and whispered in his ear, "Have you forgotten? There were also footprints by the window at noon. Those must have been the work of Taichi Tomizawa."

If Tomizawa Taichi's goal has always been to be number two, there's absolutely no need for him to do all this. The antenna, the footprints by the window, plus President Tomizawa Tetsuji's previous nagging—think about it a bit more broadly.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri paused for a moment, then began to connect the dots.

It seems really possible.

In Mihua, even casually throwing away trash can attract deadly danger.

Although this isn't Mikasa, Tomizawa Tetsuji's mouth is so foul that it's not impossible for his sons to suddenly rise up in rebellion after being insulted for so many years.

If that's the case, could it be that Tomasawa Tatsuji chose to arrive at the villa early for that reason?
"Humph!"

Kogoro Mouri coughed twice and glanced at Conan sideways: "I already knew all this, but I just felt that it wouldn't be very accurate if a child said it."

Conan chuckled, wanting to give Uncle Mori a shot, but unfortunately, his angle wasn't good right now, and the case was already quite clear; the culprit had been identified, and whatever the motive, it wouldn't affect the real killer being caught.

Therefore, there is no need to use the watch-shaped anesthetic needle.

We have to consider Uncle Mori's health; after all, being under anesthesia every day isn't a good thing.

"Then let Uncle Mori explain."

"piece of cake!"

Kogoro Mouri loosened his tie, revealing a confident smile as he looked at the Tomizawa family. "I think the person Tomizawa Taichi wants to kill is President Tomizawa!"

"I?"

Despite being pointed at by Kogoro Mouri with his index finger, Tetsuji Tomizawa still didn't quite believe it. He preferred to believe that his eldest son's goal was to kill his second son's entire family in order to get a larger share of the inheritance later, rather than believe that the target was himself.

He is the other party's father.

He raised him from childhood to adulthood, and even when the child was over twenty, he still provided him with living expenses. Instead of being grateful to such a father, he planned to kill him?

He went to great lengths to get him to come home and inherit the family business, and this is the result he got?

Tetsuji Tomizawa could not accept this answer.

"Impossible. Although Taiyi is rebellious, why would he lay a hand on me?"

Seemingly afraid that others wouldn't believe him, he pointed to his watch and said, "Look, Taiyi gave me a watch for my birthday last week. How could he possibly lay a hand on me?"

Natsukawa glanced at the earphones in Tomizawa Taichi's ears, then at Tomizawa Tetsuji's watch.

"President Tomizawa, could you take off your watch and let me see it?"

"of course can!"

To prove Kogoro Mouri's deduction wrong, Tetsuji Tomizawa readily handed the watch to Natsukawa.

Xia Chuan looked the watch over and over, tapped the back of the watch, took out a small knife from his pocket, and pried it open.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Taiichi is dead, and this watch is his only remaining possession. What is Natsukawa planning?

Kogoro Mouri stopped Tetsuji Tomizawa: "President Tomizawa, wait a minute. Natsukawa never does anything without a reason."

Everyone present held their breath, watching as Xia Chuan removed the watch cover.

"found it!"

After fiddling with it for a while, Xia Chuan finally used a knife to pry out a circular patch from inside.

"This is a bugging device!"

Conan recognized it immediately; it looked very similar to the eavesdropping device that Professor Agasa had given him.

"This kind of eavesdropping device can receive signals as long as the receiver is within a range of fifty meters, and can clearly hear the sound within a diameter of five to six meters with the eavesdropping device as the origin."

Natsukawa returned the watch to Tomizawa Tetsuji: "President Tomizawa, now you should believe me, right? From the very beginning, Tomizawa Taichi's target was you."

Around noon, Mr. Mori and I found footprints outside the living room window of the Suzuki family villa. After comparison, we can confirm whether they belong to him.

Regarding the broken TV, we inspected the antenna damage cut; the smooth cut indicates human intervention, and I don't need to elaborate on who did it.

"How could my brother do such a thing?"

Tomizawa Yuzo was completely dumbfounded.

It was already embarrassing enough, but to actually commit patricide was out of the question, with his fiancée watching right in front of him. What if Ayako Suzuki thought he also had the patricide gene?

"Why did the beloved son die? If you want to kill a father, go kill him! What does it have to do with the beloved son?"

Snapped--

Tomizawa Tetsuji's face turned green, and in his anger, he slapped him again. "You ingrate!" Tomizawa Tatsuji said.

"It seems your target is also President Tomizawa, right? Uncle Mori was just wondering who broke the fuse, but now it seems that Ms. Aiko is the one who broke the fuse."

Your plan was to kill President Tomizawa with snake venom in the dark, creating a situation where he couldn't see clearly, allowing the snake to enter his house and attack him, leading to his accidental death.

Conan looked down and pushed up his glasses: "Unfortunately, you didn't expect that the first person to come in was actually Tomizawa Taichi, who was in a panic because he killed the wrong person. Because there was no light, you mistook Tomizawa Taichi for President Tomizawa."

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Both of their deaths were accidents.

The people who should have been the targets are living well, while the murderers who wanted to kill each other are killing one another.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Xia Chuan vaguely sensed that background music was playing.

It's that background music that plays every time a tragic case occurs.

The Tomizawa family case was indeed a tragedy.

The eldest and second sons both had their father in mind, but because neither knew of the other's existence beforehand, they bumped into each other by chance, and this coincidence led to the tragedy.

Tatsuji Tomizawa did not respond to Conan's words, and stood there with his head down.

"Good, good, good, you really are my good son! You're all planning to kill me, aren't you?"

Tomizawa Tetsuji's face was ashen, as if he had aged ten years, and his hair had turned white in an instant.

He raised his hand shakily, pointed at his second son, and didn't know what to say.
