Chapter 404 The most low-key person is even afraid of himself when he gets ruthless

"Didn't Takeru escape from the utility room during the second case?" Mariko Ryūmoto asked.

Ryūmoto Akie agreed: "Yes, Takeru is the most suspicious one after all!"

You also shook his head: "Have you forgotten that the utility room is locked from the outside, how can Mr. Wu who is locked inside escape from it by himself?"

"Then, who let him out?" asked Akiie Hashimoto. She wanted to ask if it was Natsue Hashimoto who did it, but she remembered that she and Ran Mouri were on the deck at that time and did not have the time to do it.

Hattori Heiji said: "Of course it's the murderer."

"Murderer?" Everyone was puzzled. Why did he do this?

Hattori Heiji crossed his arms and said slowly, "The murderer has finally made Mr. Wu the biggest suspect. If someone finds out that he was locked in the utility room and Mr. Kameo was killed, wouldn't that prove that he is not the murderer?"

"So, he opened the lock of the utility room and let Mr. Wu escape. This way, the murderer could easily pin the blame for both crimes on him."

Mariko Ryomoto still didn't quite believe it. She asked loudly, "If it wasn't Takeru who killed him, why did he run away? If that's not a guilty conscience, what is that?!"

Akiyo Uemoto echoed, "That's right, his whereabouts are still unknown!"

Yuya's eyes fell on the wardrobe and he said slowly, "Let Mr. Wu explain this matter himself."

"What?!" Everyone's face suddenly changed. Is Takeshi Ryūmoto here too?

Following Yuya's gaze, everyone turned their eyes to the wardrobe.

After a while, the closet door was slowly pushed open, and Takeshi Ryūmoto walked out with a pale face.

"Awu!" Ryūmoto Natsue was pleasantly surprised and took a step forward to go over.

Yuya interrupted her at the right time and said, "Well, Mr. Wu, please explain how you escaped from the utility room."

Liu Benwu's expression changed for a moment, and after a moment he said, "I was locked in the utility room at the time, and suddenly I heard footsteps outside, and I thought it was Xia Jiang who came to see me..."

Ryoumoto Natsue opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

"... I rushed to the door and shouted Xia Jiang's name, but found that the door was not locked, so I rushed out, but I didn't see anyone outside."

"I wanted to go find Xia Jiang to explain, but when I passed by the deck, I saw my uncle being killed. You all suspected that I was the one who did it. I thought there was no way to clear my suspicion, so I hid."

"I have been hiding in this closet ever since, until now..."

After saying this, Takeshi Ryūmoto looked at Yuya with expectant eyes. He vaguely guessed that now was the time to clear his suspicion.

And this hope lies with Yuya and Hattori Heiji.

Hatamoto Shoji was a little puzzled: "If what Takeru said is true, then who was the person who attacked Ichiro in the third case?"

Mariko Ryūmoto shouted excitedly: "That's right, who on earth wants to kill Ichiro!"

Yuya crossed his arms and said slowly: "This third case was the biggest mistake the murderer made."

"What do you mean?" Everyone was puzzled. What was the mistake? Did he not kill the person but just stabbed him?

Yuya continued, "The murderer released Mr. Wu from the utility room, intending to pin the death of Mr. Kameo on him, but he didn't expect that this would lead to suspicion of an accomplice. The murderer panicked and came up with a way to get rid of suspicion, which was to stab Mr. Ichiro in the bathroom."

"Unfortunately, this is actually the murderer digging his own grave. In the darkness, Mr. Ichiro can't see the murderer at all, but the murderer can clearly know Mr. Ichiro's location."

"More importantly, if the murderer really wanted to kill someone, why did he stab the thigh? If he wanted to kill someone, even if he couldn't see where the person was, stabbing the chest or abdomen would obviously have a higher success rate, right?"

"Another and most important point is that, unlike the previous two cases, the murder weapon was left at the scene this time. Why is that?"

"Why, why?" everyone asked in surprise.

"That's because the murderer was injured at the time and had no way to take the murder weapon away from the scene!"

Injured? No way to get away from the scene?

Things have come to this point, even the dumbest person would have guessed the truth, and would have looked at Ichiro Ryūmoto with an angry and disbelieving look.

Yuya slowly raised his hand and pointed at the pale-faced man with his head down: "Yes, the real culprit of these three cases is you!"

"Ichiro Tsutomoto!"

Boom! It was like a thunderclap. Even though they had some guesses in their hearts, when they heard Youye say that name, they still felt incredible.

Ichiro Ryomoto usually looks cowardly, but who would have thought that he could kill two people?

In the end, he was so cruel that he stabbed his own thigh with a knife?

"The timer device was used to create the illusion of a power outage, so that I could not describe the murderer's appearance, and thus clear myself from the case."

Yuya and Hattori Heiji crossed their arms and asked in unison: "Mr. Ichiro, do you have anything to refute about our reasoning?"

Conan: ??? No, when did you two become so in sync?

Damn it, it was clearly me who started it. No matter if we knew each other or solved the case together, why did it turn out like this?

Conan, who was unable to make inferences due to his identity, watched Yuya and Hattori Heiji perform the whole time. When the two of them said that sentence at the same time at the end, he suddenly felt that he was betrayed by Yuya...

Ichiro Ryūmoto was trembling all over, his face turned pale, and he lowered his head without saying a word.

"Ichiro?" Seeing her son like this, how could Mariko Emoto not understand.

But she still held on to her last bit of luck, slamming the table and questioning Yuya and Hattori Heiji: "You said Ichiro killed someone, where is the evidence, do you have any evidence?"

Yuya smiled slightly: "Of course, if..."

"Here's the evidence!" Conan suddenly raised a handkerchief to the table, with a piece of bread crumbs wrapped inside.

Mariko Ryūmoto took a look and said, "Bread crumbs? What kind of evidence is this?"

Conan was about to say something when Yuya hit him on the head.

Yuya picked up Conan and threw him to Mao Lilan, cursing: "Adults should solve the case, children should stop making trouble and go play!"

Damn Conan, he actually dared to interrupt his spell, this is simply an insult to him as a detective!

Yuya opened his mouth, but felt that it was inappropriate to finish the sentence now, so he said, "Of course ordinary bread crumbs won't work, but this bread crumb is different. It's covered with sawdust and charcoal. I think you understand what I mean without me saying it, right?"

Mariko Ryūmoto's pupils suddenly shrank. How could she not understand that her son liked painting?

She often saw Ichiro Ryūmoto using bread as an eraser when drawing. Apart from her son, no one else would have bread crumbs stained with sawdust and charcoal on them.

"But, but what about the motive?!" Mariko Ryūmoto still wanted to make a final struggle.

Yuya sighed and said in a heavy tone: "I only found out about it last. When we checked Mr. Ichiro's room, we found this..."

Yuya looked at Hattori Heiji, and Hattori Heiji understood and took out a stack of drawing paper.

"The answer is right here."

Ryūmoto Akie came over, picked up the drawing paper, flipped through it, and exclaimed in surprise: "All the drawings here are of Xia Jiang!"

"Huh?" Ryoumoto Natsue looked confused.
