Chapter 400: The murderer was immediately identified

Yuya shook his head, "No, look carefully inside the bread crumbs, there's something else."

Hmm? Not only Hattori Heiji, but even Conan showed a puzzled expression.

The two of them moved closer to the bread crumbs and took a closer look. Their eyes immediately widened: "Wait, what is this?!"

"Shh!" Yuya raised his finger to make a gesture of silence, and Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately covered their mouths tightly.

The three of them looked around and saw that apart from four girls whispering to each other, there was no one else there.

Hattori Heiji said: "If there is this thing in the bread crumbs, wouldn't it be direct evidence?"

Conan nodded in agreement, but also felt a little unhappy.

Yuya's insight was even sharper than his. He didn't immediately notice what was hidden in the breadcrumbs, and his attention was focused on the breadcrumbs themselves.

"No, that's not enough." Youye shook his head, "We still need to find the murder weapon. In addition, if the murderer is really that person, the motive for the murder is also a problem."

"After all, if there is no will, according to inheritance law, the murderer has no right to directly inherit the estate of Gozo Taromoto, so I suspect the motive for the murder has nothing to do with the estate, or at least not much."

Hattori Heiji and Conan stroked their chins and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

It is not enough to just identify the murderer; finding the murder weapon and motive is also a key part of solving the case.

On the other side, the Ryumoto family locked Ryumoto Takeshi in the utility room and locked the door from the outside.

"Let me out, I'm not the murderer! Let me out now!"

Takeshi Ryoumoto was banging on the door desperately, but the Ryoumoto family ignored him and started talking and laughing instead.

Akie Ryūmoto said with a smile: "I didn't expect that we could catch the murderer so easily. Now we just need to wait for the boat to dock and hand him over to the police."

She had a big smile on her face.

The others also had smiles on their faces.

These people did not have the slightest trace of sadness or anger on their faces after their relatives and elders were murdered; they were all fantasizing about dividing the inheritance.

Unable to fall asleep for the time being, they came to the restaurant chatting and laughing, and asked the butler to prepare some drinks and desserts, intending to kill the rest of the time.

The butler quickly brought over juice, red wine and other things.

Akie Ryūmoto drank a sip of red wine happily and said with a smile, "Thanks to Takeru for killing Grandpa, now the distribution of the inheritance has nothing to do with him."

Mariko Hashimoto laughed and said, "That's right. Now the Hashimoto Group belongs to my husband, and Ichiro can continue to paint what he likes. In the end, the Hashimoto Group will be inherited by him."

Ichiro Ryomoto's expression tensed up, and he showed his usual timid expression: "I, I have never done anything like that..."

"Hey!" Kameo Ryūmoto supported the table with one hand and said with an unhappy look on his face, "You don't want to take all the old man's inheritance for yourself, do you?"

Mariko Rakumoto waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely share some with you when the time comes." She looked so smug, as if the Rakumoto Group was already in her hands.

"That's enough, sister," said Shoji Ryūmoto, looking unhappy. "The old man just passed away, and you're discussing how to divide the inheritance here. Isn't that a bad idea?"

Mariko Ryomata sneered: "Hmph, why are you pretending to be so noble? Don't think I don't know that you are also short of money," she glanced at Shoji Ryomata.

"I know that you secretly went to your father to borrow money to open a shop, but you got scolded instead!"

"Hmm!" Shoji Hatamoto was hit in a sore spot and an embarrassed and angry expression appeared on his face.

Seeing that her brother was speechless, Mariko Ryomoto said proudly: "If you behave better now, I might give you more later. Thank me!"

Hatamoto Shoji had nothing to say, so he had to walk aside with a sullen face.

Mariko Ryūmoto laughed triumphantly.

Yuya and others sat in the corner, watching everything silently, taking a sip of tea from time to time.

Not to mention, drinking tea and eating sweets while watching this real-life family ethics farce is much more interesting than sitting on the sofa and watching TV.

Suzuki Sonoko bit her straw and said with emotion: "The relationships among rich people are so complicated!"

Others couldn't help but look at her with strange eyes - if we talk about wealth, the richest person here must be you, Suzuki Sonoko!

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, but she reacted immediately and shouted in a low voice: "Don't look at me, my family has a good relationship! There is no need to worry about disputes over property."

Everyone was silent. Because the Suzuki family was small in number, the relationships among the family members were very good. And because the eldest sister Suzuki Ayako was already married, the only heir to the Suzuki Group was the second sister Suzuki Sonoko.

Even if Suzuki Ayako had not married, with her gentle and easy-going personality, she would most likely not fight with Suzuki Sonoko for property, let alone kill someone for property.

As for what kind of person Suzuki Sonoko is...it goes without saying.

On the other side, Mariko Ryūmoto was still smiling triumphantly.

Perhaps he couldn't bear to watch it anymore, the butler suddenly said: "Well, there is something I think I need to tell you."

Everyone looked at the butler.

The housekeeper narrowed his eyes and said, "The master made a will regarding his property a long time ago just in case."

Mariko Ryūmoto's face suddenly changed: "What did you say?" A bad premonition suddenly arose.

The housekeeper said: "This matter will probably be announced at the head office in a few days."

To be published at the head office? What kind of will is to be published at the head office? Everyone's face changed drastically and they all stood up.

Ryūmoto Akie realized something and shouted, "Does that mean all the property belongs to... Xia Jiang?!"

"Yes," the butler said calmly, leaning forward, "In addition, the Luben Group will be managed by Miss Xia Jiang. This is what is written in the will."

The old butler, who had been serving Hatamoto Gozo for almost half of his life, was naturally deeply trusted. Apart from Hatamoto Gozo himself and his lawyer, he was the only one who knew about the will.

"What?!" Everyone was immediately filled with disappointment and anger.

"Damn it! I can't even get a penny. What's the point of marrying Akiie?" Kameo Ryūmoto cursed in a low voice.

Akie Ryomoto's face changed, and she looked at her husband angrily: "What do you mean? Did you marry me just for money?"

A will is superior to inheritance law. Knowing that he would not get any money, Kameo was too lazy to continue acting and said sarcastically, "Yeah, otherwise who would marry a woman like you!"

Ryūmoto Akie slammed the table and stood up: "What did you say! You are a man who is good for nothing except spending money!"

The two of them started to curse at each other without any mercy, using all kinds of obscene words. If someone who didn't know the situation stood there, it would be hard to imagine that the two were actually a couple.

"This is really... a pleasant surprise." Youye supported his chin and said with a bit of gloating.

I just solved a key case related to inheritance, and I encountered another one just a few days later. What a coincidence.

“Hehehe…” The other friends also had their mouths twitching.

These people just looked like they were looking forward to the future after getting the money, but immediately they felt as sad as if their father had died. Oh, their father/grandfather really did die.

Looking at the angry faces of these people, Youye's smile suddenly faded and he felt something was wrong.

He whispered to Mao Lilan: "Xiao Lan, you and He Ye protect Miss Xia Jiang. I'm worried that these people will have bad intentions."

With the protection of Mao Li Ran and Toyama Kazuha, Youya felt that there should be no one on the ship who could threaten Doromoto Natsue's safety. Even if he went on board, it would probably be a bit difficult.

Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, then understood something and nodded solemnly.

Then he said to Toyama Kazuha and Miyano Shiho, "Let's go see Miss Xia Jiang. She must be very sad that her grandfather passed away."

The enthusiastic Yuanshan and Ye agreed immediately.

Miyano Shiho naturally would not refuse.

So the three of them went together to look for Ryūmoto Natsue.
