Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 167 The Boss Who Likes to Feed Fish

The purple underwear should be the one given by Akita Keito.

The sky blue short-sleeved shirt was indeed what Lin Xiuyi was wearing when he saw "Ono Yukiko" standing by the window before.

The women's clothing has been found, and the place where Togo Takashi changed his clothes should be nearby.

It was raining heavily at the time and there were other people in the cherry blossom forest. It was obviously impossible for the murderer to run too far to hide his clothes.

Lin Xiuyi searched carefully around the cherry tree where the clothes were hidden, and soon found a blood-stained stone nearby.

Because of the rain, the bloodstains on the stone have been diluted a lot.

However, blood stains are not so easy to remove. You can just use luminol reagent to test them later.

The murder weapon was found, proving that Lin Xiuyi's previous guess was correct.

In fact, Togo Takashi had already been attacked by the murderer in the cherry blossom forest.

The Togo Takashi that Lin Xiuyi and the others saw walking up the cliff should be the murderer in disguise, with the purpose of creating an alibi for himself.

After recalling the situation at that time, Lin Xiuyi was already sure who was the murderer of Togo Takashi.

But in order to accuse the other party, sufficient evidence is needed.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyi climbed up the cliff again and took a look. Sure enough, he found a lot of traces of paint on the rocks on the edge of the cliff.

These were left behind by the murderer to prove that Togo Takashi was attacked on the cliff.

After confirming this, Lin Xiuyi returned to the hotel, but did not enter the house. Instead, he came to the back of Akita Keito's car.

Lin Xiuyi remembered that after Akita Keito was splashed with paint, he threw the paint-stained jacket into the trunk.

The paint the murderer got was most likely scraped off his clothes.

Lin Xiuyi originally wanted to see if the other party had left any evidence when scraping the paint.

Although he didn't find any evidence related to paint, he did find a lot of fallen thorns on the ground under the trunk.

Lin Xiuyi picked up one and looked at it carefully. It should have fallen from some plant.

He had not seen any thorny plants around the hotel. The only source of the thorns should be the cactus in the trunk of Akita Keito's car.

Considering the murderer's previous unintentional actions, these small thorns are enough to prove that he was the one who scraped off the paint.

……

In the hotel, Akita Keito, who had just woken up, was still resisting and trying hard to spit out the underwear in his mouth.

"Stop struggling," Lingzi advised, squatting beside him, "There's something stuffed in your mouth. It's hard to get it out without using your hands."

"Wuwuwu..." Akita Keito stared at the little girl in front of him with his eyes blazing.

"Who told you to scold Onii-chan? If you do something wrong, you should be punished," Reiko asked with a smile, "Didn't your teacher teach you that when you were in school?"

"Why has Mr. Lin been gone for so long?" Otomo Hiroki paced back and forth in the living room impatiently, scratching the palm of his left hand from time to time. "How about we go out and look for him and see what's going on?"

"No," Kisaki Eri shook her head directly, "Shuiichi said that everyone except him must stay here."

"But the murderer has been found," Otomo Hiroki retorted, "Why can't we move freely?"

"Forget it, Mr. Otomo," Moriyama Yuta advised, "Even if we go out, what can we do? Let that kid do his work outside."

At this moment, Mrs. Dongxiang, who was lying on the sofa, woke up: "This is...how did I get back to the hotel..." No one said anything, but just looked at the proprietress who was cheating with her son with complicated expressions.

Mrs. Togo glanced at everyone with a puzzled look, and finally looked at Akita Keito who was lying on the floor.

"Wuwu..." Akita Keito suddenly trembled with fear. He was almost strangled to death by the other party before.

Mrs. Togo stared at Akita Keito in a daze. After a moment, she finally remembered what had happened before.

"…It's you! You killed Long!"

Mrs. Togo's eyes turned red again, and she pounced on Akita Keito with a ferocious look.

Just as Moriyama Yuta was about to go over to stop her, he was tripped by Otomo Hiroki and both of them fell down.

"Sorry..." Otomo Hiroki apologized repeatedly, but his eyes were always looking in the direction of Akita Keito.

"Mrs. Togo, calm down," the three girls said, standing in front of Akita Keito. "We've called the police, and they'll be here soon. Mr. Akita will be brought to justice!"

"Law? Police?" Mrs. Dongxiang sneered. "If they were useful, I would have been in jail long ago. How could I still run a hotel here?"

"Mrs. Togo, calm down," Fujimine Yukiko comforted her. "I know you're very sad about Togo Takashi's death, but the dead can't be brought back to life. You should try to be more open-minded..."

"Haha, who said I'm depressed?" Mrs. Dongxiang showed a strange smile on her face. "Even though Long is dead, the dead can still stay by my side, just like his father."

"...She doesn't look right," Lingzi whispered, "Why does she look like she's crazy?"

"Back then, when I was pregnant with Long, that guy got involved with another woman and wanted to abandon me,"

Mrs. Dongxiang stroked her belly and fell into memories.

"I couldn't live without my husband, and I couldn't let Long live without a father, so I took action and made sure he stayed with Long and me forever."

Everyone else was shocked when they heard this.

Kisaki Eri asked with an ugly expression, "Did you kill Togo Takashi's father?"

"Not only him, but also that bitch who seduced him," Mrs. Dongxiang laughed maniacally. "How dare she steal my husband! After I buried Long's father by the pond, I chopped that woman into pieces right in front of him and threw them into the pond to feed the fish."

These words made everyone's scalp tingle.

Akita Keito curled up in panic, trying desperately to hide himself.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you now," Mrs. Dongxiang said with a strange smile, "I will only attack you after I bury Long. I want to avenge him in front of my son!"

After saying this, Mrs. Dongxiang ran towards the kitchen.

Everyone in the living room was a little confused when they saw her coming back with an axe in her hand and laughing.

"Mrs. Togo," Otomo Hiroki swallowed his saliva, "What are you doing..."

"I don't want to be disturbed by those policemen before I avenge Long. Besides, aren't you all Long's lovers? Long is already dead, why are you still alive?"

After saying this viciously, Mrs. Togo swung her axe violently and chopped at Moriyama Yuta who was closest to her.

Moriyama Yuta hurriedly dodged, and the sharp axe blade brushed past his body, directly splitting the chair behind him into pieces.

Seeing that Mrs. Dongxiang was serious, the living room suddenly became a mess...
