Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"Ichiro..." Mariko Hatamoto immediately called Ichiro Hatamoto's name with concern and ran forward to check.

"My foot..." Ichiro Hatamoto really hit himself hard at this time. It really hurt, and it was not an act.

He was really willing to kill himself, so not only could Ichiro Hatamoto kill his grandfather and brother-in-law, he also didn't hesitate to kill himself at the critical moment.

He is indeed the person whom the 70-year-old Hatamoto Gozo misjudged. Considering that Hatamoto Gozo has been in charge of the Hatamoto Group for so many years, his methods can be said to be ruthless, and he thinks he is very accurate in judging people.

In his old age, he misjudged his grandson, Hatamoto Ichiro, and paid the price with his life. Hatamoto Ichiro was indeed a werewolf.

(That's more than a ruthless person. Most people would subconsciously be gentler when they attack themselves. Fujiwara Hiroshi observed that this hand raised the knife and fell without any intention of showing mercy.)

"Cheer up, Ichiro!" As a mother, Mariko Hatamoto saw Ichiro Hatamoto lying on the ground injured and quickly ran up to him.

Of course, as an angel of love, Xiaolan certainly cannot fall behind, so she also ran over behind Mariko Hatamoto to see if there was any way she could help.

Conan must have run up there at the same time. Conan didn't necessarily go there to help. His main purpose was to look around the scene to see if there were any new clues to be discovered.

"It's okay, fortunately the injury is on the leg. It's not life-threatening. I will help you right away." The versatile Xiaolan came to the rescue directly, took a quick look, and confirmed that there were no other scars except for the thigh, and comforted Hatamoto Mariko.

"Ichiro..." Mariko Hatamoto had already come to Ichiro's side, lifted up Ichiro's upper body, and held him in her arms, feeling heartbroken.

"I'll go get the first aid kit." Xia Jiang saw Ichiro Hatamoto falling to the ground injured, and without thinking much, he ran to get the first aid kit alone.

However, according to the current speculation of the Hatamoto family, if the murderer is Xiao Wu, it would be safest for Xia Jiang to act alone.

Because no matter how crazy Xiao Wu was, he would not attack Xia Jiang. Even if he had resentment in his heart, it was mostly directed at other people in the Hatamoto family. It was absolutely impossible for him to attack Xia Jiang.

"Who did it? Tell me, Ichiro!" Mariko Hatamoto now wants to find the murderer and tear him into pieces. She was not sad when her own father died, but her son was so anxious just because he had injured his leg. What a difference!

"I don't know either. There was a sudden power outage just now, and then I was stabbed for no apparent reason. It hurt so much!" According to his original plan, Ichiro Hatamoto would definitely say that it was Xiao Wu who did it.

However, the possibility of Xiao Wu committing the crime now is reduced. In the second case, it was impossible for him to commit the crime. Although he opened the warehouse door in time to release Xiao Wu as a remedial solution, it was outside the plan and still left a big loophole.

The second case was a sudden accident for Hatamoto Ichiro. It was just that Hatamoto Ryuo was unlucky. He was wandering around for no reason and threw the weapon at Hatamoto Ichiro when he ran into him.

With this sudden situation, Ichiro Hatamoto was not sure what direction the case would take, so he couldn't make any final decisions at this time.

If we directly say that he is dead now, the suspicion can be pointed at Xiao Wu in a short period of time, but there is a risk of overturning the verdict, especially in the second case. If the verdict is overturned, then as a witness who testifies, he will be in a passive position.

Regardless of whether he is finally discovered to be the real murderer, at least the charge of falsely accusing others will be confirmed.

So it is best to give an ambiguous answer, just blame everything on the power outage, and it is no big deal to say that you didn't see who it was.

After all, Xiao Wu is relatively difficult to identify in the second case, but compared with others, he is still the most suspicious one.

And Xiao Wu was cooperating with Ichiro Hatamoto's actions. Ichiro Hatamoto deliberately unlocked the door to let Xiao Wu out, leaving him unable to explain himself.

As a result, Xiao Wu really cooperated and ran away by himself. This gave everyone a reasonable basis for suspicion of him, because it was a fact that he was gone and no one knew when he ran away.

In this case, Ichiro Hatamoto deliberately stabbed himself, performing a self-torture trick, just to eliminate himself and make everyone no longer doubt him.

He forced himself to change from the identity of a suspect to that of a victim. As for directing the rhythm towards Xiao Wu, someone else was needed to lead the rhythm.

Ichiro Hatamoto believed that someone would soon come out to lead the charge, and he took the opportunity to hide himself further.

Conan was obviously not satisfied with this answer. His little head was full of doubts and his big eyes were blinking.

"What is that!?" Hatamoto Mariko suddenly had an idea. The moment she turned around, she caught a glimpse and discovered the bloody weapon that had fallen under the sink.

"This is my kitchen knife." Following Mariko Hatamoto's gaze, Hata Sho Shoji also noticed the knife and felt it looked familiar, so he stepped forward and picked it up. After careful observation, he confirmed that it was indeed his kitchen knife.

"Shoji, did you do this?" When Mariko Hatamoto heard Shoji Hatamoto say that the kitchen knife was his, she subconsciously guessed that Shoji was the murderer.

"How is this possible? I was in the restaurant with you when the power went out. Did you forget?"

When Shoji Hatamoto saw that his sister Mariko was beginning to suspect him, he was so angry that he quickly defended himself.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you sure you came up with this answer through your brain? The power outage just now couldn't be a coincidence, it was deliberately arranged by someone.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the power to go out for no reason, and it would be even more impossible for the assassination to happen in such a short time after the power outage.

As long as you don't think with your butt, you should be able to know that there is a necessary connection between the two. So as Mr. Xiangji said, he stayed in the restaurant the whole time. Do you think he had the opportunity to carry out this method?

Furthermore, if Mr. Shoji was the murderer, would he have used his own kitchen knife as the murder weapon? Even if he had no other weapons to use and had to bite the bullet and use his own kitchen knife, would he have left it at the scene to incriminate himself?

How about it? Do you understand now? Do you still think the murderer is Mr. Shoji?

Fujiwara Hiroshi started to criticize Mariko. He really didn't like Mariko, who liked to eavesdrop on other people's secrets. He couldn't stand this kind of random reasoning, so he came out to refute Mariko.
