Suddenly, it felt like a bolt of lightning flashed across my forehead.

He got it.

The sleeping detective turned to look at 'Nagato Hideomi' lying on the ground, still dazed. Suddenly, he became agitated, grabbed 'Nagato Hideomi' by the collar, and shouted, "..."

"Hey, you brat, where did you hide Mr. Nagato Mitsuaki?!"

"Now that Mr. Nagato Mitsuaki isn't in his room, you must have hidden him! Tell me, where is he? Being stabbed repeatedly with such a sharp knife can be fatal if not treated promptly!"

Nagato Hideomi stared wide-eyed at Kogoro Mouri.

Before he could say anything, Musashi no Suke, who was standing next to him, also realized what was happening.

Musashi no Suke just checked it.

Although 'Young Master Xiuchen's' injuries looked serious, he was actually not in any danger of dying. Chen En, who had attacked him, was quite sensible in this regard, and at most, he would only get a minor injury certificate from the hospital.

The key now is Nagato Mitsuaki, who has been stabbed multiple times and is on the verge of death.

Musashi no Naka de said with great sorrow,

"Yes, Master Xiuchen, where did you hide Master Guangming?"

"I watched you grow up, why would you do something so cruel? You've disappointed me and the master so much!"

Nagato Hideomi, who was being grabbed by the collar, stared wide-eyed.

Dude, you're grabbing me by the collar and asking me where you hid me?

Poet, hold on!

If he weren't in so much pain that he couldn't speak, he would have cursed out loud right now!

Nagato Hideomi stared wide-eyed, looking as if he felt wronged by others.

Kogoro Mouri and Musashi were utterly shocked.

I never imagined that Nagato Hideomi would be so shameless and so malicious, disregarding his own brother-in-law's life! He's utterly unworthy of being called a son!

"I...I have a feeling that Mr. Hideomi seems to want to say something...?"

Ran Mouri, who was standing next to her, blinked and whispered.

"Father, Butler Musashi, please put him down first. It's not too late to hear what Mr. Hideomi has to say..."

"I think that someone as kind as Mr. Hideomi wouldn't do something like killing Mr. Kousei..."

Behind them, three detectives gathered together.

Conan and Heiji Hattori flanked Chen En from the left and right.

The representative detectives from Kanto and Kansai, observing the situation, grew increasingly uneasy. They exchanged glances, then turned to Chen En, who stood in the middle, seemingly pulling out a cup of coffee from somewhere, and asked,

"...Could it be that Nagato Mitsuaki was the only one in the room from beginning to end, and that he staged the murder scene all by himself?"

Chen En: Ah, right, right, right

Conan, Heiji Hattori: ?

Why does it feel like this guy is teasing a child?

Damn it, Riddler and Batman get out of Gotham City!

Chapter Thirty: Husband, say something!

"How is the light, the brightness?"

A somewhat timid voice rang out.

Nagato Yasue, the second daughter of the Nagato Group and wife of Nagato Mitsuaki, asked sadly from the side.

Originally, she was going to rush to Nagato Hideomi's side with Musashi no Suke to ask about Nagato Mitsuaki's whereabouts, but Chen En's presence was so intimidating that she hesitated to approach him for a moment.

Seeing that Nagato Hideomi was still silent, she finally lost control of her emotions.

Nagato Yasue approached Nagato Hideomi, shaking his collar excitedly and sobbing,

"Why would you harm my sight? No matter the reason, you shouldn't do such a thing!"

"Hideomi, you and Mitsuaki grew up together, why did things turn out like this?"

Nagato Yasue became more and more excited as she spoke, and her shaking became more and more pronounced.

Kogoro Mouri and Musashi, who were standing nearby, were shocked and quickly reached out to grab Nagato Yasue.

If they keep shaking him like this, he might faint from the pain, and then we'll never find Nagato's location again!

However, as Nagato Yasue swayed, the bandages on Nagato Hideomi's face gradually slipped off.

Despite the other person's severely swollen face, Nagato Yasue and Musashi no Suke, who knew Nagato Mitsuaki very well, were able to recognize the true identity of the battered and bruised man at a glance.

"How is that possible? Guangming, why are you pretending to be Xiuchen?"

Nagato Yasue said incredulously.

The crowd in the corridor erupted in an uproar.

However, Chen En didn't care about the Qiong Yao drama scene next to him. After teasing the two high school detectives next to him, he stroked his chin and stared at his system screen.

It's not because I've received any points, but because I'm considering which items to buy.

The system task has not yet been completed, meaning that the possibility of a murder still occurring in this villa has not been ruled out.

"...There's something, but not much."

Chen En said in a low voice.

He leaped off the balcony, entered Batman mode, and looked at Hinata Yuki in the last second before landing.

There was a strange smell about Nagato Dosan's personal secretary. Although it was very faint, he was certain that it was the smell of engine oil, which indicated that Hinata Sachi's role in this incident was not simple.

The fact that the security mission has not yet been completed may be directly related to Hyuga Yuki.

"Stop shaking me! If you keep shaking me, I'll be shaken to death! I am Nagato Mitsuaki!"

Nagato Hikaru, his face bruised and swollen from the beating, spoke incoherently.

If it weren't for the fact that men don't easily shed tears, he would probably be in tears from the pain right now.

"Let me tell you, this incident is entirely..."

Chen En cast a disapproving glance at him.

Suddenly, Nagato Mitsuaki changed the subject and said,

"It's entirely my fault."

"It was because I wanted to kill my father-in-law and inherit his fortune that I impersonated Hideomi..."

Upon hearing this, Nagato Yasue, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

What? I treated you like my husband, and you actually wanted to kill my own father?

Nagato Yasue felt her worldview momentarily collapse at that moment.

How could this be? She had always thought that her husband, Nagato Mitsuaki, was the kindest and most upright person in the world, but now he was saying that he was going to do such a thing. How could she accept this fact?

She instinctively grabbed Nagato Hikaru's arm and asked incredulously,

"That's not how it works, is it?"

"Honey, say something! Tell me it's not like that!"

However, Nagato Mitsuaki's expression told her this regrettable truth.

That's it.

The situation will not change according to Nagato Yasue's wishes.

Nagato Yasue immediately paled.

However, only Nagato Yasue, who wore a filter, found this situation unbelievable.

The others in the corridor either knew Nagato Mitsuaki's character or had witnessed Nagato Mitsuaki's ineffable filial piety when delivering the congratulatory gift in Nagato Dosan's bedroom.

For someone like this, who only had the idea of ​​stabbing his father-in-law to death and inheriting the family fortune, he was already considered a normal person among the many criminals in Beika Town.

It's much better than the kind of physically unacceptable act of stabbing a neighbor to death because a tree branch in their garden went over the wall by just one centimeter, and then portraying them as a mentally fragile, kneeling, and confessing crime like an ordinary criminal citizen of Beika Town.

"So, it was attempted murder?"

Hattori Heiji stroked his chin and offered his thoughts.

Now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, and Nagato Mitsuaki has confessed, what else is there to say? He can just go downstairs, call up the officers from the Osaka Police Station, and give Nagato Mitsuaki a set of rose gold bracelets, right?

Conan, who was standing next to him, shook his head.

Robin's intuition told him that this incident was not as simple as he had imagined.

Because Batman still hasn't returned to his usual eccentric and unpredictable communication style.

"But actually, I didn't mean to do that!"

"I was forced into it!"

Nagato Mitsuaki shouted at this moment,

"It was Hinata Yuki who forced me to do this!"

"She first poisoned her fiancé, Nagato Hideomi, and then forced me to bury Nagato Hideomi's body next to the pond with her, and then tied stones to it and sank Nagato Hideomi's body into the water!"

"If I don't do as she asks, I'll be the second Hideomi to be poisoned!"

"Today's plan was also instigated by Hyuga Yuki. She's currently guarding my father-in-law's room and is about to kill him. Instead of watching me here, you should go back and check on my father-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the corridor was immediately taken aback.

What? The plan to kill Nagato Dozo was devised by Hyuga Yuki? How could this be?

Without hesitation, Kogoro Mori led the way up the stairs and back to Dosan Nagato's bedroom, intending to see if it was really as Nagato Mitsuaki had said, that Sachi Hyuga was going to kill Dosan Nagato!

He doesn't believe it.
