Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

Was the chocolate deliberately added just to fit that legend?

It's obvious that someone committed the murder; the murder weapon is still there. It doesn't make sense to rely on legends.

Kitagawa Taki said, "Regardless of why the chocolate ended up here, let's go back to the villa first! The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it will be dangerous for us if we stay outside any longer."

Mika Funaka reminded him, "Take Nigaki's video camera and camera with you, and see if he has taken any useful pictures."

The two items were hanging on Yoshiki Futagaki's chest.

"Okay." Kitagawa Taki almost forgot about that.

All he wants to do now is get this over with quickly and then go to sleep.

Chapter 414 Sorry, my hand slipped.

Back at the mountain villa.

Chiyoko Yuasa called the police using a landline.

Yuzo Sakami wasn't lying; as he said, the tunnel was indeed blocked by snow, and the police weren't sure if they could get up the mountain tomorrow.

Yuzo Sakami laughed and said, "I knew it, but you didn't believe me."

Beside him, his friend Itakura Hajime watched the spectacle with amusement, as if it had nothing to do with them.

"If you ask me, this is even more interesting. Isn't this the classic 'locked room mystery' scenario?" Itakura Hajime laughed, holding a shotgun in his hand.

"Sake, do you think that murderer might kill someone again?"

"Then let him come! With this, we have nothing to fear."

Yuzo Sakami chuckled and took the hunting rifle off his back as well.

Sonoko frowned as she watched; she had absolutely no liking for these two.

Kitagawa Taki and Ran were examining the video camera and still camera they had brought back.

The camera was never used.

Xiao Lan said, "We've run out of film in the camera, but we don't have a way to develop it right now."

Mika Konakawa interjected, "If it's about developing photos, I can do that. I used to develop photos for Nigaki all the time."

"Then I'll help you, Miss Shiguo."

Ran and Mika Konagawa went into the restroom together; it was a perfect place to use as a darkroom.

Seeing the two leave, Yuzo Sakami walked up to Taki Kitagawa and asked, "Didn't that guy have any other videotapes or anything in his bag?"

Kitagawa Taki raised an eyebrow. These two guys were acting like it was none of their business, so why are they suddenly concerned?

"Do you have any unopened, new videotapes?" Kitagawa Taki asked. "Mr. Sakami, why are you asking this?"

Yuzo Sakami offered a plausible reason: "I just wanted to know if he had photographed any wolves."

Itakura Hajime, who was standing to the side, looked at Kanari Ryoko and asked, "Miss, did that young man film anything before? Does he have any videos with him?"

Although she found it a little strange that he asked this, Gan Liya still said, "Jia Gui took a lot of pictures, and they're all in his room."

“Oh, I see.” Itakura Hajime and Sakami Yuzo exchanged a glance.

Yuzo Sakami yawned: "Alright, you guys keep playing your detective game, we're going back to our rooms to rest."

After saying that, the two left the living room arm in arm.

Sonoko pouted, "Those two guys are really annoying."

Kitagawa Taki watched the direction the two left in, and he had a feeling that there was something wrong with those two guys.

"I'm going to my room."

After saying something, Kitagawa Taki quietly followed behind the two.

The two did not return to their room, but instead went to Yoshiki Futagaki's room.

Yuzo Sakami took out a piece of wire and skillfully unlocked the door.

The two men exchanged a sly glance and, upon entering the house, began searching through drawers and cabinets.

Kitagawa Taki felt a chill run down his spine; these two guys were definitely up to something.

He walked to the door, knocked, and said, "What are you two looking for? Do you need any help?"

The two were startled, but when they turned around and saw that only Kitagawa Taki was there, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuzo Sakami chuckled awkwardly, "We just want to find the key to solving the case."

“Yes, that’s right,” Itakura Hajime quickly chimed in, “We didn’t take anything!”

"Really?"

Kitagawa Taki slowly walked into the room, getting closer and closer to the two of them.

Yuzo Sakami wasn't sure if Taki Kitagawa had figured something out, and slowly reached for the hunting rifle behind him.

Even if they really did fight, they weren't afraid. There was only one man in the entire manor, Kitagawa Taki. Once they got rid of him, there would only be a few women left, who would be easy to deal with.

In the blink of an eye, Kitagawa Taki kicked the stout Sakami Yuzo, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the desk.

Itakura Hajime's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly reached for the gun behind him, but another foot landed on his chest.

In no time at all, the two of them collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

Kitagawa Taki picked up the two hunting rifles, slung one over his back, and aimed the other at Sakami Yuzo's head.

Sakura Yuzo dared not howl anymore, cold sweat pouring down his face. "Brother, we have no past grudges or recent feuds, what are you trying to do?"

Kitagawa Taki ignored him and asked, "Tell me, who exactly are you two? What are you looking for in this room?"

Yuzo Sakami said with a forced smile, "We're just ordinary hunters. As I just said, we came to this room because..."

"boom!"

Without saying a word, Kitagawa Taki fired a shot.

"My ears!" Yuzo Sakami screamed, clutching his ears, and rolled on the ground in agony.

"Sorry, my hand slipped." Kitagawa Taki said with a smile, "What did you just say? Go on."

Just then, several people downstairs who had heard the gunshots rushed upstairs.

Looking at the messy room, the two people lying on the ground, and Kitagawa Taki holding a hunting rifle, everyone was momentarily stunned.

Ran and Sonoko naturally sided with Kitagawa Taki without hesitation. "Taki, what's going on?"

Kitagawa Taki explained, "These two guys went into Yoshiki Nigaki's room looking for something, and when I found out, they even tried to attack me."

Upon seeing the blood on his hands, Yuzo Sakami was so frightened that he fainted.

Itakura Hajime was also speechless with frustration. He hadn't done anything, yet he was kicked away.

Even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to fight Kitagawa Taki. That shot had scared Yuzo Sakami into unconsciousness, leaving him completely stunned. He simply lay there pretending to be unconscious.

"You tell me."

Itakura Hajime's feigned unconsciousness did not escape Kitagawa Taki's notice, and he poked Itakura Hajime's face with the barrel of his gun.

The scorching hot gun barrel instantly broke Itakura Sou's composure.

"Think it through before you speak," Kitagawa Taki advised.

Itakura Hajime swallowed hard, glanced at Ganri Riyako, and said with a forced smile, "Four years ago, the avalanche that caused the deaths of Ganri Natsuya and the boss was caused by the two of us. Moreover, we mistook Ganri Natsuya for a wolf and shot him."

Yoshiki Nigaki happened to film it with a camera, and he even used the videotape to blackmail us, demanding money to buy the tape.

He said the location could be determined from the videotape, and if they also found gunshot wounds on Ganlixia, neither of us would be able to escape.

Ganrisha is also Ganriyako's older brother.

"What?" Gan Liya swayed.

Mika and Ran quickly helped her up.

Itakura Hajime continued, "That's why the two of us came looking for the videotape, but we didn't kill Yoshiki Nigaki. We planned to torture him to death by causing an avalanche after we got the videotape, but we didn't expect that he would be killed by someone else."

Then, as if realizing something, he pointed at Gan Liya and said, "It must have been her. She probably saw that videotape and knew that Futagaki Yoshiki hadn't helped her brother, so she killed him!"

Chapter 415 The Truth About Chocolate

Mika Konakawa looked at Riyako Kanari with a shocked expression.

She was also in a relationship with Gan Lixia, Gan Lixia's brother, and she had always believed that Gan Lixia had also died in an avalanche accident.

"Yako, tell me, is this true?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Gan Liya lowered her gaze, bit her lip tightly, and nodded after a moment of silence.

"That videotape showed the former boss being swallowed by an avalanche while trying to save his injured brother, and he was just standing not far away filming that scene. If he had gone up and helped, neither his brother nor the former boss would have died!"

Chiyoko Yuasa sighed and said, "You don't even know if it was filmed by Nigaki. What if it's a misunderstanding?"

“I’m absolutely certain.” Gan Liya shook her head and said, “His voice was recorded. He said, ‘Sorry, Xia Ye, I’m taking your sister.’”

Kitagawa Taki glanced sideways; this Futagaki Yoshiki was shameless enough and deserved to die.

Mika Konakawa fell silent. You can know a person's face but not their heart. As Yoshiki Futagaki's friend, she never expected that such a vicious heart was hidden under his honest appearance.

Sonoko couldn't help but ask, "Miss Ayako, what about your chocolate?"

Gan Liya said, "I didn't put it there. I don't know why the chocolate I made ended up there."

Ok?

Since Gan Liya has already confessed to murder, there's no need for her to lie anymore. So who put the chocolate there?

Kitagawa Taki poked Itakura Hajime with his gun and asked, "Did you two release this?"

Itakura Hajime shook his head vigorously, "No, we didn't put it there, we don't know either."

Kitagawa Taki stopped worrying and said to Yuasa Chiyoko, "Auntie, could you get me two ropes? I'll tie these two up."

Chiyoko Yuasa responded and turned to go downstairs.

“Ayako, you…” Mika Konakawa hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
