Chapter 401 The 2rd Victim
Mao Lilan, Miyano Shiho and Toyama Kazuha searched for a while but couldn't find anyone. Just when they were getting anxious, they found Taromoto Natsue alone on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze.
Mao Lilan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She walked to the side of Xia Jiang and said, "Ms. Xia Jiang, why are you here alone? I was worried to death."
Ryūmoto Natsue looked back and saw the three girls looking at him with concern. He thought they came to comfort him.
She wiped the tears from her eyes and forced a smile: "Ms. Xiaolan, you said that as if the murderer would come and attack me."
Mao Lilan was about to say that it was very likely, and that we were here to protect you. But she thought that saying so might scare the other person, so she smiled and said, "No, we are just worried about you."
"Thank you." Ryūmoto Natsue thanked him, then looked at the sea and suddenly sighed.
"You guys, did Takeru really kill Grandpa?" Ryoumoto Natsue burst into tears again, "I trusted him so much, but I didn't expect he approached me and married me just for revenge."
The three of them looked at each other, and Toyama Kazuha and Miyano Shiho both nodded at Tomomoto Natsue - they both agreed that Maori Ran should be the best at comforting people.
Mao Lilan was speechless for a moment, but she was kind enough to walk to Ryomoto Natsue, patted her shoulder and said, "Actually, I think you should trust Mr. Wu more."
"What do you mean?" Ryoumoto Natsue raised his head in confusion.
Mao Lilan turned her head to look at the sea, sighed softly and said: "Although you said that he approached you, but in fact, who is your husband, isn't it you who chose it yourself? Do you think he is a bad person?"
Rakumoto Natsue was stunned for a moment, and scenes of his past interactions with Rakumoto Takeshi kept appearing in his mind.
She found that no matter how much she doubted it, she could not imagine that the man she loved so deeply would be the murderer of her grandfather.
"Besides, You didn't say that Mr. Wu was the murderer. I think there may be other hidden secrets." Miyano Shiho suddenly spoke.
Ryūmoto Natsue looked at her in astonishment.
Miyano Shiho shrugged: "That's what I think."
"Yes, yes," Toyama Kazuha also agreed, "That guy Heiji would definitely say it out loud if he thought someone was the murderer, but he didn't say that. I also think Mr. Wu is not the murderer!"
Mao Lilan opened her mouth and said after a while: "I think so too."
I'm so angry, you all can say the names openly, but I'm the only one who is stupid enough to be a parrot!
Damn Shinichi, I won’t give him breakfast tomorrow!
"You..." Ryūmoto Natsue was deeply moved, but also a little guilty. She didn't trust her husband as much as a few outsiders did. She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Thank you. Maybe I should..."
"Pfft!"
"What are you doing?"
"boom!"
Suddenly, Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha's ears moved and they turned their heads to look behind them.
The two looked at each other again and nodded at the same time: "On the deck below!" Then they quickly ran towards the stairs.
"What's wrong?" Miyano Shiho and Ryūmoto Natsue were startled and followed him subconsciously.
"I heard something." said Mao Lilan.
Yuanshan Heye nodded in agreement.
As we all know, the more powerful a person is, the better their hearing will be. Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama are not weak, so their hearing is naturally not bad.
In addition, Yuya told them to protect Ryoumoto Natsue. Although they seemed to be just chatting just now, in fact, the two of them had been secretly on guard against their surroundings, and suddenly they heard a strange sound.
The two of them ran quickly towards the place where the sound came from, while not forgetting to pay attention to Ryūmoto Natsue who was following behind them, in case the bad guys appeared from other places.
The four of them quickly reached the next deck and saw a man leaning on the railing.
"That..." Mao Lilan called out tentatively, took a few steps forward, and suddenly her face changed and she stopped.
"What's wrong? Who is it?" Yuanshan and Yehu were in front of Liumoto Xiajiang. Seeing this, they asked in confusion and took a few steps forward.
"Wait···"
"Ah!!!!" An arrow pierced the clouds... Suddenly, a sharp cry sounded on the deck.
···
Everyone gathered on the deck again.
The person who was killed was Kameo Ryūmoto. His head was covered in blood and he was already breathless. His eyes were wide open as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Yuya checked the wounds on the body and said in a deep voice, "He was hit to death with an iron pipe or something."
"Who is so cruel?" Ryoumoto Natsue asked with fear on his face, hiding behind Mao Li Ran.
"Could it be Takeshi?!" Mariko Ryūmoto immediately thought of a suspect who was locked up.
Hattori Heiji curled his lips and said, "You are so stupid, isn't that place locked? How can he get out?"
"But..." Mariko Hashimoto's lips trembled. If it wasn't Takeshi Hashimoto, then who killed Kameoka?
Ichiro Rakumoto looked at Xiajiang Rakumoto worriedly, and then secretly looked at everyone. Seeing that no one had the intention to look for Takeshi Rakumoto, he asked timidly, "Will someone release him?"
"Ichiro, what did you say?!" Mariko Ryomoto looked at her son in horror. The murderer was released? He was wandering around on the boat and had just killed another person?
Yuya narrowed his eyes and looked at Ichiro Ryomoto with a deep gaze: "Why do you say that?"
Ichiro seemed a little scared - maybe it was because of his personality. He took a half step back and said timidly: "I think I saw someone go to the utility room..."
Yuya, Hattori Heiji, and Conan, the three of them just stared at him without saying a word:...
Without giving it much thought, Mariko Ryomoto shouted angrily, "Ichiro! Why didn't you tell us such an important thing?"
Ichiro Ryomoto was originally feeling a little guilty when being looked at by the three detectives. Hearing this, he immediately said, "I, I dare not... No, I wanted to say it, but who would have thought that my brother-in-law had already..."
The three of them looked at each other, and Youya said calmly: "In that case, let's go to the utility room and take a look."
As he said this, he took the lead and walked towards the utility room.
Ichiro Ryuma breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually a little scared by the look in the young man's eyes. He was obviously about the same age as him...
Hattori Heiji caught up with Yuya and asked in a low voice: "Hey, do you want to continue? Two people are already dead!"
"No," Youya said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, Takeshi Ryūmoto should have been released by him. We couldn't find anyone in the utility room."
Hattori Heiji glanced at Yuya and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you look anxious at all?"
Yuya was stunned for a moment and said, "As a detective, you must always stay calm. An impulsive mind will make you lose your correct judgment." Only two people died. What's the big deal for a detective? As long as they are not close to him, it's fine.
Hattori Heiji choked. He found that what Yuya said made a lot of sense. He couldn't refute it, so he had to swallow his anger.
At the same time, I felt a little dissatisfied: I couldn’t match her in reasoning ability, nor in fame, and now I couldn’t even match her in calmness when facing the case.
Is he really worse than Yuya?
Hattori Heiji couldn't help but look at Conan, and found that he looked as if it was a matter of course, which made him even more angry: How could this guy Kudo be so calm?
