Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"Arnold, Xiaolan, is President Fujiwara also proficient in reasoning?" Fujiwara Hiroshi's reasoning shocked Hatamoto Akiie, causing her pupils to shrink unconsciously. At the same time, it also aroused Hatamoto Natsue's curiosity, so she secretly asked Xiaolan.

"Of course, Brother Fujiwara's reasoning ability is even better than my dad and the person I like!" Xiaolan praised Fujiwara Hiroshi in front of Kogoro Mouri and Conan, which made them both very unhappy.

"Tsk, what?" Kogoro Mouri and Conan criticized in their hearts at the same time. Although Fujiwara Hiroshi's reasoning ability was indeed stronger than theirs, they were still unhappy about Xiaolan's comments in front of outsiders.

Look, their expressions changed visibly at the speed of light. Alas! Men's damned desire to win and their obsession with face were fully reflected in them.

"But wouldn't that make everyone a suspect? The crime happened around 8pm. Ran, Conan, Fujiwara-san, and Xia Jiang, the five of us, have been sitting at the dining table since around :pm.

Then it's impossible for us to have the time to commit the crime, and Butler Suzuki was setting the table next to us at the time, so the murderer must be one of the seven of you who was not in the restaurant at the time."

Kogoro Mouri suppressed his slight unhappiness and immediately engaged in new reasoning and analysis, because except for the few people who were in the restaurant at the time, everyone else became a suspect.

When Kogoro Mouri mentioned that the suspect was one of the seven of them, the expressions of the seven people were different. It seemed that there was no doubt that, apart from Xia Jiang, the hatamoto family was indeed a group of people with ulterior motives.

"Butler Suzuki, did you notice anything wrong when you entered the room?" Since Kogoro Mouri has ruled out Butler Suzuki as a suspect, he needs to listen to the information provided by Butler Suzuki.

At least after being cleared of suspicion, Butler Suzuki will not conceal relevant information, so his credibility is higher. Moreover, as the first discoverer, maybe he knows some information that no one knows?

"Nothing special!" Butler Suzuki answered subconsciously. After two seconds, he seemed to have thought of something and said while taking something out of his pocket.

"Oh, now I remember, I picked up this flower at the door."

"Flower?" Kogoro Mouri looked at the flower in front of him with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand what the flower meant.

It was because when they were on the deck before, Kogoro Mouri was just sleeping soundly and he didn't know anything.

"That flower? That's the flower I helped Xiao Wu put up!" Xia Jiang walked past Maori Kogoro and came to the front of Butler Suzuki. He looked at it carefully and confirmed that it was indeed his flower.

As soon as Xia Jiang finished speaking, countless eyes converged on Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu himself trembled with fear.

My goodness, just now it was the Seven Warlords of the Sea, happy to choose one from the seven, but in less than a minute, the situation has reversed and the spearhead is pointed at Hatamoto Takeshi!

"It's you! No wonder you came to the restaurant so late!" When Hatamoto Akie saw such a good opportunity, how could he let it go? He jumped out and took the lead.

"No, sister, you misunderstood! I was thinking about something in my room at that time, so..." Xiao Wu touched the back of his head and denied it decisively.

"You haven't given up yet, Xiao Wu. I just overheard you and Dad arguing in the room!"

At this time, seeing that Hatamoto Akie had taken the initiative, Hatamoto Mariko also jumped out. It turned out that she was eavesdropping outside the door when Hatamoto Gozo and Hatamoto Takeshi were talking.

"Ah!?" Xiao Wu became visibly panicked when he heard what Hatamoto Mariko said. He had thought that with the death of his grandfather, his secret was temporarily kept. He didn't expect Mariko to appear out of nowhere and hear everything clearly from outside the door.

"I believe you must be scared, right? Actually, you are the son of Isamu Zaishiro! Am I right?" Mariko Hatamoto pointed at Xiaowu and said loudly.

Everyone else was surprised when they heard the news. Obviously, everyone in the Hatamoto family knew who Zaishiro Yufu was!

The one with the widest eyes among them is Hatamoto Natsue, because Xiaowu is the son of Zaishiro Yufu, which means that he has been deceived all along.

The love she thought she had was probably all bubble, all routine, all deception. It was a trap set by Xiao Wu, and she jumped into it foolishly.

"Oh, oh, oh! Madam, you accidentally overheard such a confidential matter? Was it such a coincidence that you overheard it?"

Fujiwara Hiroshi also understands yin and yang. After all, in Japan, what people need is an onmyoji.

"If I remember correctly, before leaving the deck, President Hatamoto only asked Xiao Wu to go to his room for a talk. It's hard to believe that you went to the door of President Hatamoto's room at that time. Was it intentional or accidental?"

"What did you say!?" Mariko Hatamoto jumped up on the spot as if someone had stepped on her tail.

"Humph! I just remembered something and wanted to go find Dad, and I overheard it. It's up to you to believe it or not. Besides, this is our family affair, so President Fujiwara won't bother with it!"

After getting emotional, Mariko Hatamoto still restrained herself. After all, the person standing opposite her was the chairman of the Fujiwara Group, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

At this time, they could only use the excuse that this was an internal family affair of their Hatamoto Group to keep Fujiwara Hiroshi out and prevent him from interfering in the internal affairs.

"Who is the Zaishiro Isamu she just mentioned?" Kogoro Mouri was the type to ask without knowing the answer. When he saw everyone's surprised expressions, he knew there was a story behind it.

So Kogoro Mori didn't pay attention to the subsequent conversation between Fujiwara Hiroshi and Hatamoto Mariko, but turned around and asked Hatamoto Kitaro for the information about Zaishiro Isamu.

"He was the chairman of the Zaijo Group who committed suicide after his father took over his company ten years ago. I heard that his wife also passed away from illness a year later.

The only son was sent to an orphanage. Later... later that child was Xiao Wu."

Hatamoto Kitaro continued to tell the story hesitantly. After all, this was not a glorious thing. There was no way around it. The business war and mergers between conglomerates were so cruel.

Once there is an opportunity, they will launch an offensive without hesitation to swallow up another consortium. Obviously, the people of the Hatamoto family have not yet realized that the mainstay of the Hatamoto family has died, and the Fujiwara consortium on the side is already eyeing them and ready to strike.
