Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 162 Three People, One Person
"Mr. Moriyama," Lin Xiuyi asked, "Did Miss Yukiko borrow money from you or take any of your valuables?"

"A week ago, her father hit someone with his car and asked me to borrow 4 million yen..."

Moriyama Yuta was halfway through his words when he finally understood what Lin Xiuyi meant, and his face suddenly turned ashen.

"What do you mean?"

"Before Miss Mio disappeared, her mother was seriously ill and had borrowed money from Mr. Otomo for treatment," Lin Xiuyi said. "Mr. Akita's fiancée, Kaho, disappeared, taking his family's ancestral necklace..."

"Are you trying to say that Yukiko is a liar?" Moriyama Yuta said angrily, "That's impossible! Yukiko is so innocent and kind, she would never be a liar!"

"Do you know her father's address?" Lin Xiuyi asked, "Also, does Ono Yukiko also dislike having her photo taken?"

"It's true that Yukiko doesn't like having her photo taken, but that's just her personal preference. As for her father's address, I haven't asked, so I'm not sure," Moriyama Yuta said with indignation. "Just based on these, it doesn't mean she's a liar!"

"Ms. Mio doesn't like having her photo taken, and she didn't tell Mr. Otomo her mother's address," Lin Xiuyi speculated. "I think it's the same with Mr. Akita."

Otomo Hiroki seemed to understand something and his face turned pale.

He asked in a deep voice, "Lin Jun, you are not trying to say that Mio, Kaho, and Miss Ono are actually... the same person?"

"This..." Fujimine Yukiko exclaimed in surprise, "She's playing three characters by herself, won't she be exposed?"

"If they hadn't all come to this hotel, Mr. Otomo and the other two wouldn't have known each other at all," Kisaki Eri shook her head. "Tokyo is so big, it's hard to run into each other."

"Eri is right," Lin Xiuyi confirmed. "Just now, at the hotel entrance, Mr. Otomo and I both saw the woman standing by the window. Room 206 is indeed right, but when we opened the door, where was she?"

"I'll go to the bathroom on the second floor and ask Mr. Akita to confirm," Otomo Hiroki said with a gloomy face and went upstairs.

Not long after he left, Moriyama Yuta's expression changed and he stood up suddenly: "That's nonsense! I don't believe it! Yukiko would never be a liar!"

At this moment, Mrs. Togo, who was standing by the window, suddenly exclaimed, "Is that Miss Ono?"

"Where is Yukiko?" Moriyama Yuta rushed to the window.

Lin Xiuyi and others also came over.

"Over there," Mrs. Togo said, pointing to the cherry blossom forest outside the window, "I just saw someone run in."

"It must be Yukiko!" Moriyama Yuta was overjoyed and immediately ran towards the hotel door.

"Let's go and help look for it," Mrs. Togo suggested. "There's a waterfall behind the cherry blossom forest. What if it's not Miss Yukiko, but something else? Mr. Moriyama would be in danger alone."

"It's starting to rain outside," Togo Takashi said, looking at the sky. "Wait a moment, I'll get an umbrella."

Lin Xiuyi and his three companions, along with Mrs. Togo, stood at the door, waiting for umbrellas. Reiko asked curiously, "Are there other things in the cherry blossom forest? Are they kappas?"

"Well, there has always been a legend about Kappa in the pool under the waterfall."

Mrs. Dongxiang told a short story.

"It is said that the kappa living in the pond once saved a girl who fell into the water."

"The girl was very beautiful, and the Kappa fell hopelessly in love with her, but the girl didn't like the Kappa."

"In order to keep the girl, the Kappa cast a spell to trap her in the water and not allow her to return home."

"To escape the Kappa's entanglement, the girl pretended to agree to marry him, but he said that marriage was a serious matter and required her parents' approval." "She promised the Kappa that he would convince his parents to agree to the marriage. The Kappa chose to believe his lover and sent the girl ashore and let her go home."

"The girl returned home and immediately informed her parents of what happened. The family of three moved out of their residence overnight."

"The Kappa waited in the pond for three months, but the girl never returned. Only then did it realize it had been deceived."

"Since then, the Kappa has hated women. It would deliberately capture girls who were in love or about to get married, separate them from their lovers, and then enjoy their pain..."

"Onii-chan, I'm so scared," Reiko trembled and hid in her brother's arms, "What if that kappa comes to catch me..."

"Stop pretending like that, little girl," Hibiki Eiri grabbed her cousin by the collar and dragged her out of Lin Xiuyi's arms. "Kappa can't possibly exist in this world. If they did, they would have been captured and studied long ago."

"But I remember there were newspaper reports of kappa sightings a few years ago," Fujimine Yukiko retorted unconvincedly. "Besides, if aliens can exist, why can't kappa exist too?"

"So-called alien photos are basically fake. Only fools would believe them."

"Who are you calling a fool?"

"Anyone who believes in aliens is a fool!"

"Girl with glasses, do you think you are so smart?"

……

While the two girls were arguing, Takashi Togo brought an umbrella, and Hiroki Otomo also came down from the second floor.

"How is it?" Fujimine Yukiko asked hurriedly, "Is it the same for Miss Kaho?"

"...Well," Otomo Hiroki said with a complicated expression, "Mr. Akita said that Miss Kaho doesn't like having her picture taken either."

"So, Shuichi is right," Fujimine Yukiko said in disbelief. "Ms. Mio, Ms. Kaho, and Ms. Yukiko are really the same person?"

"That should be the case," Otomo Hiroki nodded, but his eyes were fixed on Togo Takashi, as if confirming something.

"Let's go find Miss Ono and Mr. Moriyama first," Mrs. Togo stood in front of her son, blocking Otomo Hiroki's view. "If we find her, maybe everything will be clear."

Outside the hotel, it was drizzling. Everyone took an umbrella and walked towards the cherry blossom forest.

This cherry blossom forest is neither big nor small.

While Lin Xiuyi was paying attention to the movements of the three girls, he was thinking about what happened in the hotel just now.

If Miss Mio, Miss Kaho, and Miss Yukiko were really the same person, it might not be so easy for others to notice.

But how could the Dongxiang mother and son who ran the hotel not find out!
In all likelihood, the two parties were accomplices. The woman used the aliases of Miss Mio, Miss Kaho, and Miss Yukiko to defraud men of their money.

Afterwards, he went to the hotel and, with the help of the Togo mother and son, made himself disappear and got rid of the three victims.

As he walked, Lin Xiuyi came to a pond deep in the cherry blossom forest.

The pool is not big, the water is clear, and above it is a small waterfall more than ten meters high.

The water falls from the waterfall, flows into the pool, and then flows away through the river beside it...
