Chapter 228 Another Murder
"Miss Xia Jiang, are you okay?"
Looking at Hakumoto Natsue leaning on the railing alone, Xiaolan said with concern.
Ryomoto Natsue wiped away her tears and said, "It's okay, I was just thinking about something."
Sonoko asked, "Are you thinking about Mr. Xiaowu?"
Ryūmoto Natsue cried bitterly, "I...I trusted Xiaowu so much, but he married me out of revenge. I will never trust anyone again."
Xiaolan was silent for a moment and said, "I believe Mr. Xiaowu!"
Ryoumoto Natsue was stunned and looked at Xiaolan.
Xiaolan continued: "I always feel that Mr. Xiaowu is not the murderer. Dad and Taki will definitely find out the truth."
"Xiaolan..." Ryoumoto Natsue stopped crying and murmured.
Sonoko was also moved, not because of Hōmoto Natsue and Hōmoto Takeshi, but because of Xiaolan's innocence and kindness.
Takeshi Hashimoto, no, Takehiko Zaishiro's family was broken up because of the Hashimoto Group, and his father committed suicide. It is absolutely possible that he will take revenge on the Hashimoto family.
Xiaolan always thinks the best of people, which makes her more vulnerable.
Let her and Taki protect Xiaolan!
Yuanzi clenched his fists and made up his mind secretly.
……
restaurant.
Suzuki Kenji's words hit everyone in the Toshimoto family like a heavy hammer.
"This...how is this possible?" Mariko Tomoto was stunned.
"Why can that bitch inherit the entire Hashimoto Group?" Hashimoto Ryuo was quite indignant.
Then he became frustrated: "Damn it! If I can't get a penny, what's the point of marrying Qiu Jiang?"
Upon hearing this, Ryomoto Akie demanded, "What are you talking about? Are you marrying me just for the old man's fortune?"
"That's right!" Ryuo Hōmoto, contrary to his usual behavior, roared at Hōmoto Akiie, "Otherwise, who would marry a shrew like you?"
Ryūmoto Akie slammed the table and said, "You good-for-nothing bastard, you're lazy and gluttonous all day long. Without me, you'd be dead!"
Ryuo Hakumoto raised his hands angrily.
Ryumoto Akie glared at Ryumoto Ryuo: "What? You want to hit me again?"
Ryuo Tomoto shook his hands and left the restaurant without looking back.
He didn't notice that a pair of eyes were staring at him resentfully in the corner.
Having lost their fortune, the others lost their appetite for food and left the restaurant one after another.
Kitagawa Taki also stood up.
Maori Kogoro asked: "Brother Kitagawa, what are you doing?"
Beichuan Taki whispered: "Miss Xia Jiang has become the heir to the property. I'm afraid it's not safe. Xiaolan and Yuanzi are with her again. I'll go over and take a look."
Kogoro Mori's face changed. What Kitagawa Taki said made a lot of sense regarding the character of this family.
"I'll go too!"
Beichuan Taki smiled and said, "No need, I will take them back to the restaurant."
"Okay." Kogoro Mouri nodded.
……
Kitagawa Taki found the three women on the deck.
Sonoko walked up to Kitagawa Taki, took his hand, and asked, "Taki, why are you here?"
On the contrary, Xiaolan still couldn't let go in front of Sonoko, and just stood with Hakumoto Natsue.
"Dinner is ready, I'll come and call you." Kitagawa Taki didn't mention what happened in the restaurant.
Xiaolan said: "Okay, let's go, Miss Xia Jiang!"
After Xiaolan's comfort, Ryūmoto Natsue felt much better.
……
After half an hour.
Kitagawa Taki and his friends finished their meal.
But then a shrill scream was heard from the deck.
Everyone rushed over and saw Ryumoto Ryuo leaning against the railing with a bleeding head, and Ryumoto Akie slumped not far away, looking as if he was scared silly.
Natsue Ryoumoto hurried forward to comfort her sister.
The other members of the Ryūmoto family then arrived one after another.
"Dragon Man...what's going on?" Everyone looked shocked.
Maori Kogoro went forward to examine the area and said, "He died from a severe blow to the head. Judging from the wound, the murder weapon should be something like a steel pipe."
Mariko Ryūmoto speculated: "Could it be Xiaowu who did it again?"
Shoji Ryūmoto retorted: "Impossible! Long Nan and I locked the warehouse door from the outside!"
At this time, the usually silent Ichiro Taromoto said, "The warehouse door... was opened by me..."
Ryomoto Kitaro's expression changed, "Ichiro, why are you doing this?"
"Because... I heard Xiao Wu banging on the warehouse door, saying... that he was wronged and had something to say to Xia Jiang, so I..."
Ichiro Ryomoto lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
Hakumoto Natsue, who was comforting Hakumoto Akie, stopped. The suspicion of both murders pointed to Hakumoto Takeshi.
After hearing this, Conan immediately ran towards the warehouse.
Maori Kogoro did not doubt what Ichiro Hashimoto said. He sighed, looked at Hashimoto Akiie who had recovered a little, and asked: "Ms. Akiie, you were the first one to discover Mr. Longnan. Tell me what happened!"
Akie Ryūmoto sobbed as she recounted the entire story.
It turned out that after she returned to her room, she became more and more angry, so she wanted to find Ryuo Hashimoto to argue with him. After looking everywhere, she finally found Ryuo Hashimoto dead on the deck.
In this moment, Conan has returned.
Maori Kogoro asked: "Conan, how is it?"
Conan said in a deep voice: "The door lock is indeed opened, and there is no one in the warehouse."
Mariko Ryūmoto asserted, "Then... the person who killed Dad and Long Nan must be Xiao Wu, there's no doubt about it!"
"How could this be?" The last glimmer of hope in Ryoumoto Natsue's heart was shattered.
Kitagawa Taki felt that this was a carefully planned frame-up, and the most suspicious person was Ichiro Hashimoto who let Takeshi Hashimoto go.
But looking at how timid this kid is, unless he is hiding very deeply, he doesn't look like a murderer at all!
Maori Kogoro analyzed: "In short, the murderer is very likely still hiding on the ship. I think we should all stay together for the time being!"
……
restaurant.
After Kogoro Mori's suggestion, everyone returned to the restaurant.
When Natsue Tamoto saw her sister crying, she wanted to go up and comfort her.
But he was pushed away. Ryūmoto Akie yelled, "This is all your fault. If you hadn't brought that Zaishiro Takehiko home, none of this would have happened!"
Mariko Tamoto added fuel to the fire, "Haha, that makes sense. Your husband killed his father, and then you can inherit all the property!"
Ryūmoto Natsue defended himself, "That's not the case. I've never thought of it that way!"
Conan suddenly interrupted and said: "The murderer may not be Mr. Xiaowu!"
