Hibari Hikaru hesitated and said, "Master wants me to go to the Nanban room."
The butler asked in surprise, "A room belonging to a southern barbarian?"
Kogoro Mouri asked curiously, "What's that room for?"
The butler looked grave and glanced at Hibari Hikaru. "Those inside are all instruments of torture from the Southern Barbarians!"
Hattori Heiji exclaimed in surprise, "A torture device? Why would they have something like that?"
The butler explained, "It was all passed down from the Yincang family ancestors, and it involves an ancient legend. I won't go into the legend, but that room is very eerie, and no one usually goes there."
Conan narrowed his eyes and continued, "Hihara-neechan, your mother was the master's fiancée, right? Can you tell me how she died?"
Hikaru looked dejected, but still answered, "My mother died unexpectedly. I was sick and hospitalized at the time. It was raining that day, and my mother was in a traffic accident on her way to visit me."
The butler recalled, "I also remember that it was the former maid, Ms. Shimizu, who answered the call from the hospital. Shortly after, I saw your mother leave looking panicked. I never expected..."
"Panic-looking?" Hikaru looked puzzled.
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Hattori Heiji's eyes as he asked, "Ms. Hibari, how was your condition back then?"
Hikaru Hikaru said, "Thanks to the master's help, I was in good condition at the time."
"I understand!" Kogoro Mouri suddenly exclaimed.
The butler quickly asked, "Mr. Mori, do you know who the murderer is?"
Kogoro Mouri smiled confidently, "The murderer is your master!"
He paused for a moment, then pointed at Hikaru Hibari and continued, "And you, Miss Hibari!"
"Huh?" Hikaru's eyes widened, and he was completely stunned.
Kogoro Mouri speaks eloquently:
"Miss Hihara's mother did not die accidentally, but was murdered. After learning the truth, Torikura Sakoya's health deteriorated, so he called Miss Hihara together to carry out the murder plan, and then took all the blame upon himself!"
Conan retorted, "But Uncle, if that's the case, then Mr. Kishiji is also one of the people who harmed Hisahara's mother, but he clearly defended her mother before."
The butler was silent for a moment before revealing, "Kishiji actually likes Miss Hihara's mother; he would never have harmed her."
Kitagawa Taki sat in his chair watching the show, shaking his head. The relationships within this family were quite chaotic.
The third brother and the second brother's wife used to be a couple, and then he fell in love with the eldest brother's fiancée.
The eldest sister and the youngest sister have the same boyfriend.
"Uh..." Kogoro Mouri choked.
Hattori Heiji's gaze shifted between Hikaru Hibari and Johei Hanekawa. In fact, Kogoro Mouri was right about most of what he had said, except that the master's "helper" was not Hikaru Hibari.
"Miss Hihara, did the master send you a message asking you to go to the Nanban room to find him?" Hattori Heiji asked.
Hikaru Hikaru replied, "Yes."
Hattori Heiji continued, "Did your phone leave your side during the time after you received the message?"
Hihara Mitsumichi: "Ah, I left it in the bathroom because I was charging it. I was cleaning the bathroom at the time."
Hattori Heiji's expression revealed his understanding. Just as he had guessed, now all that was missing was the method and the evidence.
Hearing Hattori Heiji ask so many questions, Kitagawa Taki smiled and asked, "Hattori, you don't actually think Torakura Sakoya is still alive, do you?"
Hattori Heiji was somewhat surprised: "What? Could it be that he has already..."
Kitagawa Taki pointed to the balcony and said, "That's right, he died a long time ago. All that has ever appeared is his head, and that head is currently inside the earthenware pot on the balcony."
Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji rushed to the balcony, where he found Torakura Sakuya's head inside a clay pot in the corner.
Conan and Kogoro Mouri followed closely behind.
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Hanekawa Johei's forehead. He secretly glanced at Kitagawa Taki. Could this exorcist have something real?
Torakura Mina, Hibari Hikaru, and the butler also squeezed onto the balcony, wanting to see what was going on, but were blocked by Mouri Kogoro.
Heiji Hattori, who was outside on the balcony, returned inside, walked to the glass, stretched out his hand, and asked Kogoro Mouri outside, "Uncle Mouri, what does my hand look like?"
Kogoro Mouri looked up and said, "It's upside down."
Then, Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized: "I know, no wonder we saw Torakura Sakoya disappearing upwards, it was the glass that was the problem!"
Hattori Heiji nodded. It turned out that Torakura Sakuya had been dead from the very beginning.
So there was only one person who carried out the murder plan from beginning to end!
Such a method of murder could not have been conceived suddenly; it could only have been prepared in advance by Torakura Sakuya.
In this way, the evidence can be found.
But how did Kitagawa Taki know that?
Hattori Heiji asked curiously, "Kitagawa, how did you see through this glass-making technique?"
Kitagawa Taki truthfully replied, "Of course, I looked directly with my eyes."
Hattori Heiji's lips twitched, completely speechless, and he no longer had the desire to ask Kitagawa Taki.
Kogoro Mouri and Conan also walked in.
The butler asked in a trembling voice, "Mr. Mori, is that really the master's... head outside?"
Kogoro Mouri nodded with a serious expression.
"How could this be?"
Hikaru Hinoki covered his mouth, incredulous.
Conan, however, tiptoed under the table, thinking that no one would notice him, a child, at this moment.
In fact, Hattori Heiji had been keeping a close eye on his every move.
Seeing Conan crawl under the table, Heiji Hattori pretended not to see it, wanting to see what Conan was up to.
Under the table, Conan aimed his tranquilizer watch at Kogoro Mouri.
Although there is still one method that has not been cracked, there is no time left.
They just said too much in front of the murderer, especially Heiji Hattori, who alerted him. If the murderer destroys the evidence, things will get complicated.
Chapter 250 You must be Shinichi Kudo?
Just as Kogoro Mouri was about to say something, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck and instantly fainted, slumping his head against the chair.
Seeing this, the butler quickly asked, "Mr. Mori, are you alright?"
Under the dining table, Conan squatted down beside Kogoro Mouri and said, "I'm fine, everyone please sit down. I'll now unravel these tricks one by one!"
"Is this 'Sleeping Kogoro'?" Torakura Mina crossed her arms.
Hanekawa Johei, on the other hand, seemed somewhat uneasy.
Conan slowly recounted: "First, there was Torakura Sakoya's room. Ran and the others clearly saw him in the coffin, but when we arrived, he had disappeared."
In fact, what Ran and the others saw was only Torakura Sakumi's head. The bottom of the coffin was not sealed, and there was a secret passage leading to the warehouse under the carpet. That's how the murderer completed the disappearance trick.
Secondly, there's the paranormal photo. This is quite simple: the mirror behind you is a magic mirror, which connects to the walk-in closet next door.
If you hang Torakura Sakuya's head there and turn on the lights with a remote control, you can see his head in the mirror.
Another point is the sudden appearance and disappearance of Torakura Sakuya that we all see here. In fact, the glass on the upper right side of the balcony window is a convex mirror. We see the head flying upwards, but in reality, the head is falling downwards.
"It was just that Mr. Hanekawa's body blocked it, which is why Torakura Sakoya's head appeared in that earthenware pot."
"Then Mr. Hanekawa can see it, right?"
Hattori Heiji, resting his chin on his hand, took on the role of straight man.
Conan continued, "That's right, the real culprit is you, Hanekawa Johei!"
All eyes turned to Hanekawa Johei.
He loudly protested, "How could it be me? According to you, I even killed my honey! I clearly didn't even leave the house!"
There were too few clues found regarding the death of Torakura Moriyu, and Conan was still unaware of Hanekawa Johei's methods, so he simply avoided discussing it.
"What gave you away was the death of Torakura Kishiji. According to my deduction, Torakura Kishiji wasn't on the death list, was he? It was just your greed that led you to plot his murder."
Torakura Mina murmured, "The death list?"
Conan revealed the truth: "Apart from Kishiji Torakura and Sakoya Torakura who committed suicide, the dead were all people who murdered Ms. Hihara's mother!"
"Huh, suicide?" Hattori Heiji's lips curled into a smile.
Conan said, "Torakura Sakoya knew that his days were numbered and wanted to avenge Miss Hibari's mother. However, he could not do it alone, so he wanted to ask Hibari Hikaru for help. But he did not want Hibari Hikaru to take the blame for the murder, so he deliberately created a false impression and wanted to take the blame for the murder himself."
"That message reached you, Mr. Hanekawa, and you harbored malicious intentions. You found Torakura Sakuya, who had already committed suicide, in the Nanban room and carried out your murder plan."
The butler asked, "But Mr. Mori, how did you know that the master had committed suicide back then?"
Conan explained, "Torikura Sakoya knew that Ms. Hihara probably wouldn't kill him, so he had no choice but to do it himself."
Hanekawa Johei, though outwardly fierce, sneered and said, "You've said so much, do you have any evidence?"
Just then, Hattori Heiji pretended to knock over a fork and bent down to pick it up, but actually pulled back the tablecloth.
Just then, Conan, holding his bow tie, said, "Isn't the evidence right on you? Such a complex murder method couldn't have been accomplished without a detailed plan!"
After Conan finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and glanced to the side, only to see Hattori Heiji grinning at him with a big white smile.
He was startled and jumped up, only to bump into the table with a dull thud.
Hattori Heiji picked up the fork, straightened up, scratched his head, and laughed, "Sorry, let's continue."
When Hanekawa Johei realized that his plan had been exposed, he dared not stay any longer.
Just as she was about to get up and run away, Kitagawa Taki pressed her back down.
"Mr. Yuchuan, you'd better just hand over the project proposal!"
Hanekawa Johei gritted his teeth, took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, slowly raised his hand as if to hand it to Kitagawa Taki, but the next second he stuffed it directly into his own mouth.
But Kitagawa Taki was much faster than him, grabbing his hand and snatching the plan away.
"Click~"
Kitagawa Taki twisted his hand back and immediately dislocated Hanekawa Johei's right hand.
