Chapter 457 Maori Kogoro's Resentment for the Sports Car
After a while.
Hondou Eisuke smiled, turned to Maori Kogoro and said, "It seems that this kid is not lying."
Maori Kogoro curled his lips in disdain: "Why are you helping him? It's not good for children to lie..."
Zhu Guqiao shouted unhappily, "What I said is true! Why don't you believe me?"
He turned to look at Youye: "Big brother, don't you believe me either?" His tone was very aggrieved.
Yuya smiled and said, "Of course I believe you."
Maori Kogoro was dissatisfied: "Youya boy, even you..."
He turned on the TV while mumbling, "If someone really dumped a body on the bridge, it would have been all over the news by now..."
The TV was turned on, and as if in response to Kogoro Mori's words, a female reporter appeared on the screen. The background seemed to be the shore of a bridge, and the words "Timu Tsukawa" were written in the corner.
"Now I have an urgent news. The male body found in the Tiwujin River has been confirmed by the family members to be Mr. Sakahime Locke..."
"Eh?"
Kogoro Mouri showed a stunned expression, and everyone except Yuya was looking at the TV screen in surprise - Yuya was very clear that in this world, any suspicious thing happening around Conan had a 99.99% chance of being a case.
The remaining 0.01% is just in case, so I won’t give you an exact number.
"···In addition, since the body was found in a bag and the head had suffered more than one severe blow, the police will prioritize investigating the possibility of a vendetta."
The news ends here.
Maori Kogoro turned off the TV with a serious expression: "To think there is such a thing."
Mr. Zhugu was a little excited: "So what my child said is true?"
Zhu Guqiao muttered, "I've already said that what I saw was true, why don't you... No, only this big brother believes me."
Those who had suspected Zhu Gu Qiao all showed embarrassed expressions.
Yuya said, "Now that we know the body was found in the Tiwujin River, the scope has been narrowed down a lot. Let's find the bridge first."
Mr. Zhugu was stunned: "Aren't you going to call the police?"
Maori Kogoro shook his head: "This child's testimony is too confusing. One moment he said it was a saw brother, the next moment it was a nail pattern, a glowing hammer, and so on. Not to mention whether the police believe it or not, there is no way to provide effective clues!"
"Is that so..." Mr. Zhu Gu lowered his head with some regret.
Mao Lilan suggested: "Why don't we drive and recreate the scene of that day?"
Maori Kogoro thought for a moment and nodded, "This is the only way now. Mr. Hashiratani, do you still remember the road we passed that day?"
Mr. Zhugu nodded: "I remember roughly."
Maori Kogoro: "In that case, let's get ready and set off."
Mao Lilan said to Hondou Eisuke with some admiration: "But Hondou-san is really amazing. You can actually tell whether what he said is true or false just by observing his expression?"
Hondou Eisuke touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Oh, it's nothing actually. When I was a kid, my dad often did this to me to see if I was lying, so I used it a bit..."
Conan looked at Hondou Eisuke with a serious expression, and whispered to Yuya: "Yuya, that method is the same as what Mizunashi Rena used on me. That is..."
Yuya nodded slightly: "Yes, it is the lie detection method that those people often use. But judging from the look on Hondou's face, he doesn't seem to know where this method came from."
Conan frowned: "If this is true, then Mizunashi Rena and Hondou Eisuke are indeed related in some way. They look so similar, they are most likely siblings? But why is she..."
Yu didn't answer, but silently mouthed a name to Conan.
Conan's pupils shrank slightly, and he nodded in realization: "I see, that explains the strange feeling she has." He pinched his chin and pondered, "But we can't be completely sure, we need to investigate further to get enough evidence."
The two didn't say anything more and fell silent for a while.
Since they had decided to reenact the scene, Maori Kogoro looked at the people in the room and said with some embarrassment: "But there are so many people, one car can't fit them all..."
He only rents a car when he goes out on a commission, and it would be troublesome to rent a car temporarily now. At this moment, there is only one car driven by Mr. Zhugu.
Yuya said, "It's okay, I've asked Mio to drive over here, so there won't be any problem with two cars."
"That's great." Maori Kogoro nodded with satisfaction, but he immediately realized which car Yuya was talking about, and immediately looked at Yuya with resentment on his face, "That sports car should have been mine..."
Yuya pouted: "What are you talking about, Uncle Kogoro? I won the sports car in a fair competition. Besides, if you had won the sports car, it would have been sent to the scrapyard by now, right?"
Kogoro Mori wanted to refute, but when he thought of the countless cars destroyed by his hands, he could only droop his shoulders weakly, and his whole body looked a little pale.
Hondou Eisuke asked Mao Li Ran what was going on with some confusion.
With a smile, Maori Ran briefly recounted the story of how Maori Kogoro and Yuya decided the ownership of the sports car by playing rock-paper-scissors at the opening ceremony of the twin towers skyscraper.
Hondou Eisuke was envious: "Tokiwa Group is so generous that they actually gave away a luxury sports car like this."
Mao Lilan sighed with some regret: "It's a pity that the chairman of the Tokiwa Group was killed. I don't know what the Tokiwa Group is like now."
Yuya's ears twitched and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: What else can we do? The chairman was killed, the company's main computer was blown up and only one in ten important data was left. Now the Tokiwa Group is about to change its name...
Miyano Shiho drove over quickly.
When Kogoro Mouri saw the bright red sports car, his expression became so stinky that it almost smelled bad.
Yuya leaned out from the passenger seat and asked, "Who of you wants to ride in my car?"
Zhu Guqiao wanted to run over excitedly: "I want it! I want it!"
But he didn't expect to be grabbed by Maori Kogoro's collar and said, "Little boy, follow me. I need you to show me the way!"
"No, no! I want to ride in a sports car!" Zhuya Qiao struggled desperately, but was ruthlessly carried into Maori Kogoro's own car.
Mr. Zhugu smiled at Youye embarrassedly and got into the car as well.
Hondou Eisuke got into Kogoro Mouri's car. Conan hesitated for a moment. He wanted to observe Hondou Eisuke more, so he followed him into the car.
Mao Lilan is naturally with Conan.
So, Yuya and Miyano Shiho were the only ones in the sports car.
Youye smiled and said, "That's great. No one will disturb our world of two."
Miyano Shiho rolled her eyes at him and said, "Didn't you say you were going out for a walk? How did you run into a case?"
Yuya touched his nose and said, "It's Uncle Kogoro's commission. It has nothing to do with me."
Miyano Shiho raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
Yuya said seriously: "That's it!"
Miyano Shiho wanted to make a few more jokes, but when she saw the car in front had started, she quickly stepped on the accelerator and followed.
