Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 284 It turns out to be genetic!

This time, Kogoro Mori's reasoning and analysis were quite careful. He didn't just make up a few random words and left it at that. What he said was very reasonable and well-founded.

After hearing what Kogoro Mori discovered, Fujiwara Hiroshi finally understood. It turned out that Hatamoto Ichiro did not come up with this trick on the spur of the moment after being suspected by Akie.

Before being suspected, he had already made preparations in this regard, otherwise he would not have set up the delay device to turn off all the lights so early.

Nor would they insist on going to the toilet alone in the middle of the journey, just so that they can be alone in an environment during a power outage, performing a self-torture tactic.

Next is the scene where Kogoro Mouri searches the entire cruise ship for Xiao Wu's trace, but after searching every corner, he can't find any trace of Xiao Wu.

For a moment, Xiao Wu seemed to have evaporated from the cruise ship. The sky outside was already turning pale. After a whole night of searching, nothing was found.

The bad news is that the person has not been found, but the good news is that it is daybreak and they are not far from Tokyo. Then we can call Inspector Megure to bring the Paw Patrol to look for him.

Yes, Inspector Megure's life has finally returned to peace recently, thanks to the bloody battle that broke out between the Black Organization and the Dragon Group, with bloodshed on the streets. The top management has handed the case over to the Japanese public security.

It is obvious that the situation of this group of people is beyond the capabilities of the Metropolitan Police Department. Even if Inspector Megure and others find those people, it should be difficult to arrest them. It would be better for the Metropolitan Police Department to withdraw, move from open to covert, and let the public security take over entirely.

Fujiwara Hiroshi has never been interested in searching, so Kogoro Mouri, Conan, and Ran all went to search for Takeru.

Fujiwara Hiroshi stayed in the restaurant with the people from the Hatamoto family. It just so happened that Kogoro Mori also felt that someone needed to keep an eye on the people from the Hatamoto family, keep an eye on them, and prevent them from running around.

So when Fujiwara Hiroshi proposed this, Maori Kogoro agreed without hesitation. The members of the Hatamoto family still found their own tables in the restaurant.

Hatamoto Kitaro and his family of three sat at one table, Xia Jiang and Akie sat at another. Although Akie always disliked Xia Jiang, she still sat with her sister. Finally, Hatamoto Shoji, a lonely middle-aged man, sat at a table by himself.

Of course, Fujiwara Hiroshi, who didn't like to join in the crowd, was also far away from the people of the Hatamoto family. He sat alone at a dining table, asked the butler Suzuki for a cup of coffee, and drank it leisurely.

"Is it still painful, Ichiro?" Mariko Hatamoto was also an old mother who loved her son very much. Seeing Ichiro Hatamoto trembling all the time, she asked.

"Oh, really, I can't find it anywhere." On the other side, Kogoro Mouri, who had been searching until dawn without any results, was exhausted. He leaned against the wall and said weakly.

"I think he must not be on the boat anymore." Xiaolan also felt that even if they searched like this, they would not be able to find him. It was very likely that Xiaowu had secretly escaped from the boat.

"Actually... there's still some place we haven't looked for!" Conan still believed in his intuition. He felt that Xiao Wu should still be on the boat and not have run away.

"It's in everyone's room in the Hatamoto family."

Conan's proposal provided everyone with a new idea, and they acted immediately and started a new round of search. Kogoro Mouri once again forced himself to act.

"They are not in the room of the Kitaro couple." Kogoro Mouri, who had not slept all night, said a little tiredly.

"This couple's personalities are really polar opposites. I wonder if they have a good relationship?" Kogoro Mouri commented when he saw the photo of a family of three placed on the bedside table.

Butler Suzuki really answered every question. When Kogoro Mouri was talking, it sounded more like he was talking to himself, but it turned out that Butler Suzuki actually had an answer.

"They were cousins. They had a very good relationship when they were young, and later they got married." This sentence, which contained an explosion of information, was said so calmly by Butler Suzuki.

He is worthy of being the old butler who has worked in the Hatamoto family for so many years. He really lives up to his white eyebrows and beard. It’s a pity that Butler Suzuki is bald, otherwise he would definitely have a head of white hair.

"Ah!? They are marrying close relatives?" When such explosive information came out, Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened and he asked back in disbelief.

Xiaolan and Conan, who were standing by, were also stunned when they heard the news. Although there were many cases of consanguineous marriage in ancient times, in modern times, especially after knowing that consanguineous marriage will affect offspring, consanguineous marriage has basically become rare.

It's no wonder that Ichiro Hatamoto's mind is full of thoughts about being an orthopedic boy. After all this time, it turns out that it is hereditary. His parents are cousins ​​and they got married, which is why he is an orthopedic product.

This also led to him inheriting this gene. Among so many women, he just followed his parents' example and liked his cousin Xia Jiang.

It's a pity that the flower has feelings but the water flows on without mercy. The fate of Hatamoto Ichiro is very different from that of his parents. At least they are in love with each other, but his love for Hatamoto Natsue is at most unrequited.

"Yes, so the master was very opposed to it at that time..." Butler Suzuki gave an affirmative answer and also said that he was opposed to the marriage between Hatamoto Kitaro and Hatamoto Mariko.

It's no wonder that Hatamoto Gozo's opposition to the marriage of Hatamoto Kitaro and Hatamoto Mariko was ineffective because they both agreed.

Now it is obvious that Hatamoto Natsue does not like Hatamoto Ichiro, it is just Hatamoto Ichiro's unrequited love for him, so he will definitely strongly oppose such a thing from happening again.

"At that time..." Conan suddenly thought of something. He and Xiaolan had accidentally seen a picture album of Hatamoto Ichiro before, and they just thought that he looked like Miss Xia Jiang. Now it seems that this is a portrait of Xia Jiang herself.

In this case, the suspicion level of Hatamoto Ichiro on Conan's side has increased sharply. There are many advantages to identifying Xiao Wu as the murderer.

This would allow Xia Jiang and Xiao Wu to break up directly, and he could also pin the crime of murder on Xiao Wu and put him in jail, so that he and Xia Jiang would still have a chance.

Although more and more information about Hatamoto Ichiro was exposed, Conan analyzed that Hatamoto Ichiro was the biggest beneficiary.

Putting aside the accident in the second case, after the death of Hatamoto Gozo in the first case, the importance of Hatamoto Ichiro is self-evident, and the last case in which he was stabbed seemed more like a self-directed and self-acted act in Conan's view.

However, there is still a problem facing Conan. These ideas are just inferences and lack key evidence, so Conan must continue to look for decisive evidence.
