Chapter 463 Hondou Eisuke: Why is he smiling at me like that?
Conan's face was gloomy. A foreign woman dressed in black?
She couldn't think of anyone else except Vermouth.
But he doesn't need to do anything extraordinary now. Youyou is here, and his identity is more suitable for asking this matter.
Touji Funamoto grabbed Yuya's clothes and asked, "Detective brother, do you believe me?"
Yuya smiled and nodded, "Of course, so tell me everything you know, okay?"
Touji Funamoto nodded vigorously: "That woman asked me a very strange question."
Yuya: "Strange question?"
Touji Funamoto: "The accident. She asked me if I really saw the accident. And if I told my father and mother about it."
Accident? Conan's eyes narrowed. Could it be?
Yuya asked, "What kind of accident was it?"
Touji Funamoto waved his hands: "That, that is, a woman on a motorcycle fell from the sky..."
Conan's pupils shrank sharply. This Touji Funmoto was indeed the child from that time.
Yuya hushed—Touji Funamoto closed his mouth subconsciously. He narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look at Hondou Eisuke who was staring at the little boy.
Conan also subconsciously looked at Hondou Eisuke.
Hondou Eisuke was shocked and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Yuya gave him a mysterious smile, and Hondou Eisuke suddenly felt a chill on his back - this person...
Yuya touched Touji Funamoto's head and asked, "Have you told anyone else about this?"
Touji Funamoto shook his head: "No, I haven't told anyone except my mother and that foreign woman."
Yuya nodded, "Very good, Brother Touji, don't tell anyone else about this, just speak to me quietly."
Yuya put his ear close to it, and Touji Funmoto whispered a few words in his ear. Yuya made sounds of "Hmm, hmm, I see, that's how it is." from time to time.
Hondou Eisuke watched the two people whispering but could not hear anything and felt very anxious.
He wanted to go over and listen, but Yuya's mysterious smile just now made him feel uneasy.
After a while, Youya touched Touji Funamoto's head and said, "Okay, I know everything that happened. Touji, go play on the side first and don't interfere with the police investigation."
Touji Funamoto nodded vigorously, grabbed Yuya's sleeve and said, "Detective brother, it must be that foreign woman who killed my mother, you must catch her!"
Youye smiled and said, "Don't worry, if it was really that person who did it, I will definitely catch her."
Touji Funmoto was taken away by the servants.
Inspector Megure pretended to cough and said, "Brother Kamiya, is there any connection between the car accident and this case?" Why did they have to whisper? What was it that even an inspector like him couldn't hear?
Youya said: "I don't know yet, but I think there should be no direct connection between these two things."
"Oh? What do you say?"
Yuya explained: "If the hostess was killed because of the car accident, then Toru, who knows more about this matter, might also..." He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already very clear.
Inspector Megure suddenly realized: "I see, if this case was caused by seeing that car accident, the most likely possibility is that the murderer thought he saw some secret and wanted to silence him, but he stayed here well, and only the hostess was killed, which means that the two things are not related."
"Then let's get back to this case," Inspector Megure quickly shifted his focus, "The hostess of this house goes to the garbage dump every morning before garbage collection day to throw away the garbage, and she also goes for a morning run every morning. If the murderer wanted to kill someone, he should have taken advantage of these two opportunities."
"Why would you risk being discovered by sneaking into the mistress's room on the second floor and waiting for her to come back before killing someone?"
Yuya looked up at the second floor: "In that case, let's go to that room and take a look."
Tatsuto Funamoto suddenly said, "Inspector."
Inspector Megure: "What's the matter?"
Funamoto Tatsuto said with some embarrassment: "Can I wait here?"
Inspector Megure glanced at the wheelchair and the plastered right foot under him and nodded: "Okay."
Conan took the opportunity to go upstairs and approached Yuya, and asked him in a low voice: "Yuya, was that little boy..."
Yuya nodded slightly, "That's right."
Conan was silent. No wonder the child looked so familiar to him. He was indeed the little boy who appeared at the scene of Rena Mizunashi's car accident. In that case, the foreign woman in black must be Vermouth without a doubt.
At that time, all his attention was on Rena Mizunashi. The FBI had suppressed the information about the car accident after handling the matter. In addition, the little boy was taken away on the spot, so he forgot about the matter soon.
But unexpectedly, the matter was still discovered by the organization.
After all, we were on an open road, so there were bound to be passing vehicles and pedestrians.
The organization only needs to follow the route that Rena Mizunashi took at the time to easily find the vehicles and pedestrians that may have passed by at the time.
Vehicles are relatively easy to find, and the FBI can find ways to keep those people confidential, but pedestrians are a bit more troublesome. No one knows how many people saw the car accident at the time. Even if the FBI tries its best to clean up the mess, it cannot guarantee that everyone will be found.
The organization may have found the one who slipped through the net, and knew the scene of the car accident. They also knew that a little boy witnessed the car accident at close range and may have seen the rider's face.
So he followed the clues and found this place and killed the hostess?
No, Conan changed his mind and rejected this idea.
Just as Inspector Megure said, if it was really Vermouth who came to silence the witnesses, given the organization's style, the little boy would definitely not be spared, and even the male owner would definitely be silenced as well.
So someone else killed the hostess? Are the two events just coincidences?
But... Conan looked at Hondou Eisuke with a deep gaze. It was too much of a coincidence that he came here today. Yu also happened to have a commission nearby, and his appearance here was just a coincidence.
But it can be said that they appeared here entirely because of Hondou Eisuke's reasons and guidance, although the appearance of Yuya caused Maori Kogoro to leave early.
If it was someone else, he might think it was a coincidence, but this person...
Yuuya glanced at Master Funamoto and asked the servant leading the way, "How long has Mr. Funamoto been in a wheelchair?"
The maid said, "About a month ago, my husband went fishing with his colleagues from the company and accidentally broke his leg. According to the doctor, the plaster will be removed in half a month."
Yuya nodded slightly: "So he currently lives on the first floor?"
The maid shook her head and said, "No, the gentleman's room is next to the lady's. When we need to go upstairs, I will help the gentleman upstairs first, and then move the wheelchair up."
"I see."
Everyone came to the hostess's room on the second floor. It was a room with a relatively simple layout and only some regular furniture.
But the overall tone is warm, and it looks warm under the setting sun outside.
Unfortunately, behind this warm and cozy atmosphere is a cold murder case.
