Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Conan suddenly ran towards the warehouse.

Zhiyong also knew why Conan was heading towards the warehouse.

Kogoro Mouri hadn't thought of it at first.

It was only after seeing Conan and Zhiyong run away one after the other that he remembered.

Then, he followed behind the two of them.

The warehouse is only a few dozen meters away from here.

In just a few minutes, they arrived at the warehouse door.

"The warehouse door is open," Zhiyong said, feigning confusion.

The three entered the warehouse.

Sure enough, Xiao Wu was nowhere to be seen in the warehouse.

Actually, Zhiyong already knew this earlier.

The distance between the site and the warehouse is exactly within the space's collection range.

When Zhi Yong arrived at the scene, he had already used the map function to locate it.

Actually, the original intention was to observe Ichiro Hatamoto's actions.

After committing the murder and leaving the scene, Ichiro Hatamoto quietly went to the warehouse door and opened the bolt on the outside.

Based on the situation just now.

Zhiyong had already roughly guessed what would happen.

Ichiro Hatamoto killed Gozo Hatamoto.

Just now.

Ichiro Hatamoto originally intended to dispose of the murder weapon.

It was only when the murderer was thrown into the sea that...

It just so happened that Tatsuo Hiramoto saw it.

Ichiro Hatamoto did this to avoid exposing his murders.

Therefore, he went all out, picked up an iron pipe lying on the ground nearby, and struck Tatsuo Hiramoto on the head.

Ichiro Hatamoto killed Tatsuo Hiromoto instantly.

After killing someone again, Ichiro Hatamoto was also a little flustered.

Because they had just made a sound.

To avoid being discovered, he killed Tatsuo Hiramoto.

Ichiro Hatamoto immediately left the scene.

However, someone needs to take the blame for the murder.

He had already framed Takeru for the crime of killing Hatamoto Gozo.

But now he has killed someone again.

If Xiao Wu is locked up in the warehouse at this time, it might clear him of suspicion.

Therefore, Ichiro Hatamoto arrived at the warehouse entrance.

Open the warehouse door and let Xiao Wu escape.

In this way, Xiao Wu will once again bear the blame for murder.

Ichiro Hatamoto quietly opened the warehouse door and returned to the scene.

It made people think that he had come to the scene like everyone else after hearing Hatamoto Natsue's scream.

After thinking through the two cases, Zhiyong began to admire Hatamoto Ichiro's mindset.

Ichiro Hatamoto killed two people in just a few hours.

But he can still pretend that nothing is wrong.

This is not something an ordinary person can do.

Indeed, no one in the Conan world should be underestimated.

……

Chapter 261 Mutual Attacks

The group then went to the ship's restaurant.

Akie Hatamoto was weeping bitterly over the death of Tatsuo Hiromoto.

The others sat to the side, not saying much.

Seeing Akie Hatamoto's sad expression, Natsue Hatamoto went over and said, "Sister."

"It's all your fault. You brought Xiaowu to the Hatamoto family, which is why this has happened."

Before giving Hatamoto Natsue a chance to speak, Akie Hatamoto angrily rebuked her.

“Now your husband killed the old man, and then you inherited the family fortune. What a clever scheme!” Mariko Hatamoto said angrily.

"No, no, I never thought about the inheritance," Hatamoto Natsue hurriedly explained.

At this moment, Hatamoto Natsue felt extremely wronged.

Hatamoto Natsue was already deeply saddened by the death of her grandfather, Hatamoto Gozo.

But what hurt her even more was that the murderer was identified as her newlywed husband.

These two consecutive events left Hatamoto Natsue feeling both heartbroken and saddened.

Now another murder has occurred.

Xiao Wu, the husband who was supposed to be locked in the warehouse, disappeared there.

Thus, the second murder case fell to Xiao Wu.

Seeing Hatamoto Natsue's tearful face, Zhiyong felt a pang of pity and spoke up.

"Actually, the murderer isn't necessarily Mr. Xiao Wu."

"what?"

Everyone was quite surprised to hear Zhiyong's words.

“Yes, think about it, when we got to the warehouse, the door wasn’t locked,” Conan explained.

“Right now, the warehouse door can only be opened from the outside. When we arrived at the warehouse, we didn’t find that the door had been damaged, which means that someone opened the warehouse door from the outside,” Zhiyong explained.

"Who opened the door for him? There must be an accomplice among us," Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled.

"Xia Jiang, you didn't release Xiao Wu, did you?" Mariko Hatamoto asked sarcastically.

“It couldn’t be Miss Xia Jiang. Miss Xia Jiang was on the deck just now, and Ran, Conan, and I were with her the whole time. She didn’t have a chance to release Mr. Xiao Wu,” Zhi Yong explained.

"Yes," Xiaolan nodded in agreement.

"In that case, after everyone left the restaurant, Suzuki and I were in the restaurant the whole time. Chiyuki, Ran, Conan, and Natsue were on the deck. So where are you guys?" Kogoro Mouri asked.

“I went back to my room to rest after leaving the restaurant,” Shoji Hatamoto replied.

"I also went back to my room, but I didn't see Ryunan. We had a few words in a fight, so I was angry and didn't care where he went," Akie Hatamoto replied.

“I went back to my room and looked at the work,” Hatamoto Ichiro replied.

"After leaving the restaurant, we went back to our room, but I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk outside," Hatamoto Hokuro replied.

“Yes, we’re going back to our room. Kitarou went out for a walk. I’m a little tired, so I’m resting,” Mariko Hatamoto replied.

“In that case, none of you can testify against each other, so you all have the opportunity to kill and open the warehouse.” Kogoro Mouri glanced at the men.

"What are you talking about? Do you think I killed my husband?" Akie Hatamoto glared at Kogoro Mori.

Mariko Hatamoto pursed her lips before saying, "You're probably the happiest person now that Ryunan is dead."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Akie Hatamoto shouted angrily.

"What, did I say something wrong? Don't think I don't know, you already have another man outside." Mariko Hatamoto said with great disdain.

“I know why you’re saying that. You’re trying to divert everyone’s attention, aren’t you?” Akie Hatamoto pointed at Mariko Hatamoto and said, “Aunt Mariko was the most motivated to kill Grandpa, and you are the one who cares most about the inheritance.”

Zhiyong found the infighting within the Hatamoto family amusing.

But I didn't want to say anything more.

Hatamoto Natsue was deeply distressed.

Seeing everyone attacking each other, he shouted, "Please, stop arguing!"

“Besides you, your son Ichiro also had the motive to kill his grandfather, didn’t he?” Akie Hatamoto mocked.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mariko Hatamoto said angrily.

"Am I wrong? Ichiro's winning painting was torn up by his grandfather in anger. Doesn't Ichiro feel any resentment?" Akie Hatamoto asked.

Ichiro Hatamoto sat at the table, listening with a look of fear on his face.

Mariko Hatamoto quickly defended herself, saying, "It's not Ichiro's fault. It's all the old man's fault. He doesn't appreciate Ichiro's talent at all."

Regarding Mariko Hatamoto's words.

Akie Hatamoto didn't say anything, but took a few steps to Ichiro Hatamoto's table.

She placed her hands on the table and stared directly at Ichiro Hatamoto.

"Although you seem timid and submissive, I know that you often bully Long Nan. So, it must have been you, this sarcastic guy, who killed Long Nan this time."

"I didn't, I didn't kill him." Ichiro Hatamoto looked wronged.

If Zhiyong hadn't already discovered that he was the murderer in both cases today, he would have actually believed him.

In the world of Detective Conan, every criminal indeed possesses acting skills worthy of an Academy Award nomination.

Akie Hatamoto didn't pay any attention to Ichiro Hatamoto's answer.
