Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

At this moment, Hatamoto Mariko was very proud. The two sisters Xia Jiang and Qiu Jiang had been attacked by her in succession. She showed an attitude that the situation was already decided in front of everyone.

"You know a lot! Did you hear it while lying in the corner outside someone's door?" Fujiwara Hiroto had to applaud Mariko Hatamoto.

Because of what Hatamoto Mariko did, both Mouri Kogoro and Conan were at a loss and became just spectators.

Fujiwara Hiroshi reacted faster and applauded Mariko Hatamoto, but his tone was more sarcastic.

"How come this old lady knows everything? You should be given the title of famous detective!" Conan twitched his lips while eating melon, sighing that there are always talented people in every generation!

Isn't this a natural detective? His professional skills are many levels higher than those of private detectives like Kogoro Mouri.

"Hmph! How I know is not important! What's important is that just based on this point, Akie is a big suspect." Mariko Hatamoto imagined countless possibilities in her mind.

In her mind, no matter whether the murderer was Qiu Jiang or Xiao Wu, who was related to Xia Jiang, as long as he could be connected to them and eliminate them, the three of them would be able to get more of the inheritance.

Then she knew that if she didn't do it, it would be even more impossible for her timid husband and introverted son to do it.

Especially her son, who is almost a marginal figure outside the situation of the Hatamoto family. She couldn't imagine that the two consecutive cases today would be related to her beloved son, so she was able to have such confidence.

"I know why you do this. You are doing this to divert everyone's attention, right?" Seeing that Mariko Hatamoto was determined to put the blame on her, Akiie immediately jumped out to fight back.

The two sides were members of the anti-Xia Jiang alliance one second, and the next second they started fighting among themselves. With such performance, even if Hatamoto Gozo was not stabbed to death, he would be furious after seeing this scene.

He is not good at external affairs and is the best at internal fighting!

This sentence is most appropriate for Hatamoto Mariko and Hatamoto Akie. With such limited abilities, they use all of it on their own people.

"Aunt Mariko has the greatest motive to kill Grandpa. She is the one who cares the most about the inheritance." Qiu Jiang immediately began to uncover Mariko's past. Since Mariko was so unkind before, don't blame Qiu Jiang for being unjust.

"Please stop arguing!" Just when Qiu Jiang and Mariko were fighting each other, Xia Jiang took the initiative to ask both sides to stop arguing.

This is the kind-hearted Xia Jiang. If anyone else saw their aunt Mariko and sister Qiu Jiang, who had always been targeting them, start to fight each other, even if they didn't add fuel to the fire, they would probably just sit aside and watch the fight, right?

However, Xia Jiang's actions were different. He wanted to stop the two people from escalating their quarrel.

You have to know that Mariko's husband, son, and Shoji had no intention or action of stepping forward to calm the dispute. In comparison, Xia Jiang's actions can be regarded as perfect.

At this time, the real murderer Ichiro Hatamoto had an extremely good psychological quality. His mother had been arguing with others until her face was red, but he was not at all moved.

Ichiro Hatamoto even felt a little bored, so he picked up the sketchbook he carried with him and opened the picture of Xia Jiang he had drawn to admire it.

So the old saying is right, one should never be too complacent. Don’t you know the mistakes you have made, Ichiro Hatamoto?

In such an occasion, he showed no concealment or restraint at all and was still in the mood to appreciate his own paintings. He was just about to hand the evidence to Conan's mouth, indicating that Conan should suspect him.

As expected, you reap what you sow! Hatamoto Ichiro, who was flipping through the paintings unscrupulously, didn't realize that his actions had attracted other people's attention.

The people who were attracted were Xiaolan and Conan. They came to Ichiro Hatamoto's side silently. Ichiro Hatamoto was concentrating and fully appreciating the painting. He didn't notice that there were two people around him until Xiaolan spoke.

"Hey! Who are you drawing? This person looks like Miss Xia Jiang." Xiaolan came closer and took a look, and found that the person drawn by Hatamoto Ichiro looked very similar to Hatamoto Xia Jiang.

Even at this time, Xiaolan still hasn't realized that what Ichiro Hatamoto drew didn't look like Xia Jiang, but was actually Xia Jiang. Of course, Xiaolan couldn't be blamed for this. After all, at the end of the 20th century, such thinking was too advanced. Xiaolan didn't even think about it in this regard.

However, Conan, who was following Xiaolan, had a sudden realization in his mind after discovering this situation. It was as if he understood something and was only one step away from the truth.

Fujiwara Hiroshi had been watching Conan's movements. When he saw Conan's situation, he knew that he probably wouldn't need to show up for today's matter, and Conan could almost handle it.

Just when Ichiro Hatamoto was panicking, he immediately closed the sketchbook, turned his head, looked at Xiaolan guiltily, and tried to organize the words of explanation in his mind.

Qiu Jiang and Mariko, who were arguing fiercely over there, did not give up accusing and attacking each other just because Xia Jiang stepped in to mediate.

Both of them tacitly ignored Xia Jiang and continued to argue as they pleased. Qiu Jiang ignored Xia Jiang and continued to attack his aunt Mariko.

This time, her attack turned to Ichiro Hatamoto. Her aunt cared about her beloved son the most.

As the saying goes, hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. Qiu Jiang knew that if he used his aunt as an excuse, the other party would not be false at all, so he changed his mind and directed his attention to her son, Ichiro Hatamoto.

"Even my aunt's son has a motive to kill grandpa, doesn't he?" Qiu Jiang pointed directly at Ichiro Hatamoto and wanted to tell him his motive for murder.

Originally, Akijiang didn't notice Ichiro Hatamoto, but because Xiaolan suddenly appeared and asked, Ichiro Hatamoto was frightened and Akijiang paid attention to him.

However, it was by chance that he helped Ichiro Hatamoto out of trouble. Originally, Ichiro Hatamoto was still worried about how to explain the situation in the picture book where he looked like Xia Jiang.

Qiu Jiang's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, so that Xiaolan overlooked this episode and her attention was focused on Qiu Jiang.

"The winning work I entered in the painting competition was torn up by my grandfather. Who wouldn't hate him?" Qiu Jiang continued to talk proudly about Ichiro Hatamoto's motives, because she also noticed that at this moment, everyone's eyes were on her.
