Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 168 Where is Mr. Moriyama? He is indispensable here.

Although Eri Kisaki learned Sanda and fighting from Hayashi Shuichi.

But as the saying goes, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife.

How could she dare to fight with Mrs. Dongxiang who was holding an axe with her bare hands?

Seeing that Fujimine Yukiko and Reiko were so scared that they were stunned, Kisaki Eri hurriedly grabbed one of them each and ran towards the hotel door.

Mrs. Dongxiang ignored the three girls.

The hotel is built deep in the mountains, and the three children who can't drive can't escape far. It won't be too late to find them after getting rid of Moriyama Yuta and Otomo Hiroki.

Moriyama Yuta was so scared that he hid on the second floor. Mrs. Togo then shifted her target and began to chase Otomo Hiroki.

In a panic, Hiroki Otomo accidentally tripped over Keito Akita who was lying on the floor and fell to the ground.

Mrs. Togo stood in front of Otomo Hiroki, raised the axe with a strange smile, and was about to chop off his head!
At the critical moment, someone at the door of the hotel shouted, "Don't you want to know who killed your son?"

"...What did you say?" Mrs. Togo turned her head sharply, staring fiercely at the young man standing at the entrance. "Wasn't it Akita Keito who killed Long?"

"He was wrongly accused," Lin Xiuyi shook his head and said, "The real murderer is someone else."

When Akita Keito, who was lying on the floor, heard this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.

It would be good if the charge of murder was dropped, but Mrs. Togo didn't attack him before because she wanted to keep him alive to commemorate the deceased Togo Takashi.

Now that he is no longer an enemy, Mrs. Dongxiang will chop him to pieces immediately!

Otomo Hiroki lay beside Akita Keito, not daring to move, for fear that the axe would come down on him.

"Who killed Long?" Mrs. Dongxiang waved the axe in her hand angrily.

"That's a long story," Lin Xiuyi said as he walked into the living room with a smile. The three girls followed him tremblingly. "Where's Mr. Moriyama? He can't be left out here."

After hearing what Hayashi Hideichi said, Mrs. Togo thought that Moriyama Yuta was the murderer of her son, and subconsciously looked towards the second floor where he had escaped.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xiuyi rushed over quickly and kicked Mrs. Togo hard in the abdomen.

The proprietress was caught off guard and kicked to the ground.

Before Mrs. Togo could get up, Lin Xiuyi had already kicked the axe out of her hand and pinned her to the ground.

"Get the rope!"

"Use mine, use mine!" Akita Keito said quickly, "Lin Jun just said, I'm not the murderer!"

None of the three girls paid any attention to him. They all thought that what Lin Xiuyi had just said was just to paralyze Mrs. Togo.

Seeing that Kiyori and the others were still searching for a rope, Lin Xiuyi said helplessly, "Untie Mr. Akita. He is definitely not the murderer."

"you sure?"

Although Kisaki Eri was confused, she still squatted down and untied the ropes of Akita Keito who was tied up.

"I said it a long time ago, I didn't kill anyone," Akita Keito, who regained his freedom, stretched his arms and legs.

With the help of the three girls, Lin Xiuyi had just tied up Mrs. Togo when he saw Otomo Hiroki, who had gotten up at some point, and had already walked to the door of the hotel.
"Mr. Otomo, where are you going?"

"I don't want to see that woman go crazy again. She almost killed me just now!" Otomo Hiroki shouted with lingering fear, "I want to leave here now!" "Mrs. Togo has been tied up," Lin Xiuyi said meaningfully, "Mr. Otomo is in such a hurry to leave, don't you want to know who the real murderer of Togo Takashi is?"

"I..." Otomo Hiroki opened his mouth and was about to speak.

On the second floor stairs, Moriyama Yuta shouted and rushed down the stairs waving a mop.

After seeing that Mrs. Dongxiang had been tied up, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "So you guys have already knocked her down, I was thinking of coming to rescue you."

"Mr. Otomo?" Lin Xiuyi asked again, "Don't you want to know who the real murderer is?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Otomo Hiroki laughed dryly and could only walk back: "Let me listen to Lin Jun's reasoning."

"We previously thought Mr. Akita was the murderer because we thought Togo Takashi was attacked on the cliff. In that case, Mr. Akita was the only one who had the time to commit the crime," Lin Xiuyi asked. "But what if Togo Takashi never went to the cliff?"

"That's impossible," Kisaki Eri retorted immediately, "We all saw him walking up the cliff. Could it be that with so many of us, we could have been wrong?"

"First, it was raining heavily, and all we saw was a figure walking up the cliff. We thought it was Togo Takashi because of his clothes," Lin Xiuyi said. "Secondly, think about it, were we all together at the time?"

"Isn't that so?" Fujimine Yukiko looked puzzled. "I remember they were all together."

"...No, there's one person who's not here," Kisaki Eri looked at Otomo Hiroki, "Otomo-san wasn't with us at the time. He was the last one to come out of the cherry blossom forest."

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Otomo Hiroki scratched the palm of his left hand. "I fell in the cherry blossom forest and got my clothes dirty."

"Did you really get your clothes dirty from falling?" Lin Xiuyi said, half-smiled. "Just now in the cherry blossom forest, besides finding Togo Takashi's women's clothing, I also found a fist-sized stone with blood stains on it!"

After saying that, he asked Lingzi to bring in the women's clothes that were placed at the door.

"Yes, this is the clothes Yukiko...Takashi Togo wore when we came here together!" Moriyama Yuta nodded affirmatively, "Why is she in the cherry blossom forest?"

"We had just discovered that Miss Mio, Miss Kaho, and Miss Ono were actually the same person," Lin Xiuyi explained. "For the Togo mother and son, they had to find a way to divert our attention so that we wouldn't discover the truth further."

"So when Mrs. Togo suddenly said someone had broken into the cherry blossom forest, her purpose was to make Ono Yukiko appear again. That way, even if Miss Ono disappeared later, we wouldn't be able to link her to Togo Takashi."

"Am I right, Mrs. Dongxiang?"

"...That's right," the proprietress responded with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Moriyama was the first to chase him out. When the rest of us were about to leave the hotel, Togo Takashi said he wanted to go back to get an umbrella," Hayashi Hideichi continued, "but in addition to the umbrella, he also took his women's clothing."

"After entering the cherry blossom forest, everyone dispersed to look for people. Togo Takashi quickly walked deep into the woods, intending to change into women's clothes and make Ono Yukiko reappear. But he didn't notice that there was someone following him."

"When this man saw Togo Takashi changing his clothes, he immediately understood everything. In anger, he picked up a stone from the ground and knocked Togo Takashi down."

"After Togo Takashi fell to the ground, that person thought he had killed someone and racked his brains to exonerate himself. The best way, of course, was to frame the murder on someone else."

"Just then, because the rain was getting heavier, we gave up the search and prepared to return to the hotel."

"After the man noticed this, he changed into Togo Takashi's men's clothes and walked towards the cliff."

"After we all saw him, he walked forward a little further, then, with the help of the heavy rain and the cover of the trees, he returned to the cherry blossom forest."

"He changed back into his own clothes and hid Ono Yukiko's women's clothing among the cherry blossoms. Then he dragged Togo Takashi, who was dressed in men's clothing, to the pond and threw him in. Then he pretended nothing had happened, walked out of the cherry blossom forest, and met us..."
