Chapter 235: Feelings Can't Stand the Test

"Huh?" Maori Kogoro heard what Kisaki Eri said and said with disdain, "What are you talking about? How can this be a murder case?"

Kisaki Eri was not polite either, and mocked: "Ah, it seems that a certain famous detective is not even as good as me!"

Seeing the two of them arguing with each other, Xiaolan quickly interrupted: "You two... just keep your words to yourself!"

Kisaki Eri folded her arms, snorted softly, and looked at Kitagawa Taki and said, "Kitagawa, tell us what doubts you have, so that this arrogant detective can open his eyes."

"Ahem." Kitagawa Taki cast a sympathetic look at Maori Kogoro and said, "Toda Takako was clearly snorkeling and had a mask and snorkel with her, but she lost all of these when she drowned."

Maori Kogoro said: "Maybe she drowned when she took it off!"

"When I rescued her, she specifically asked where Matsuzaki Masahiko was. When she heard he was rushing to save her, she smiled and said, 'That's great!'"

Maori Kogoro retorted: "What does that mean? Maybe she is just happy about it."

"Besides, as the manager said, most sea snakes are actually very docile and will not attack humans."

Maori Kogoro insisted: "It's just because her hand happened to touch the sea snake!"

"The biggest suspicion is that the sea snake's bite was on the back of her hand, near the base of her middle and ring fingers. You have to know that a sea snake's mouth is very small, so it's impossible for it to bite that area."

At this point, Kitagawa Taki raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Unless someone pried open the sea snake's mouth and placed it in Toda Takako's hand."

Kogoro Mouri widened his eyes and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Kisaki Eri cast an admiring look at Kitagawa Taki, she hadn't thought so much.

"Detective, what do you think? Do you still think this was an accident?" She did not forget to mock Kogoro Mouri.

"Mom..." Xiaolan came out of her shock and pulled Kieri's hand.

Fortunately, Maori Kogoro was thick-skinned enough. He coughed twice and analyzed seriously: "In that case, the people who were close to Toda Takako at that time are all suspects."

"Besides Kitagawa and Ran, I remember there were also Ito Yo, Matsuzaki Haru, and Kawazu Kunio."

Kitagawa Taki gave a direct answer: "The murderer is Matsuzaki Haru."

"What?" Kogoro Mouri stretched his neck, shocked beyond words.

Kitagawa Taki said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, Toda Takako faked drowning, and Matsuzaki Haru knew about it. They were acting together, but Matsuzaki Haru wanted to take this opportunity to kill Toda Takako."

Xiaolan was surprised and said: "But Miss Toda is about to become Miss Matsuzaki's sister-in-law, how could this happen?"

"That's why."

Kitagawa Taki glanced at the confused Xiaolan. With Xiaolan's innocence, she would definitely not have thought of such a thing.

Kisaki Eri on the side seemed to be thinking about something.

Kitagawa Taki explained: "Because Matsuzaki Haru likes her brother Matsuzaki Masahiko."

"what?"

Maori and his daughter were shocked.

"This, this...Brother Kitagawa, are you sure?" Kogoro Mouri asked hesitantly.

Kitagawa Taki said: "At the dinner table, when the wedding was mentioned, only Matsuzaki Haru looked uneasy and quite lonely."

Maori Kogoro guessed: "Maybe she just can't bear to leave her brother?"

Beichuan Taki shook his head. "I have sufficient evidence. That's the small bag on Matsuzaki Haru's waist."

He has confirmed it with his spiritual sense.

"She didn't get a chance to deal with it after the incident, and that's what she used to hold the sea snake."

"If she had put it directly into the bag, it would have been inconvenient to remove the sea snake, so she must have used tape to secure it."

"What Xiaolan saw looked like wings, but it was tape."

Maori Kogoro swallowed hard. He was truly astonished by Kitagawa Taki's efficient "reasoning." "But how do you know so much, Brother Kitagawa?"

Of course, Kitagawa Taki couldn't tell the truth, so he evaded the question by saying, "Intuition."

Kogoro Mouri was completely choked.

At this time, Xiaolan asked: "Taki, why did Miss Toda pretend to drown?"

Before Kitagawa Taki could speak, he heard Kisaki Eri say, "I think she's trying to test Mr. Matsuzaki's love for her, right?"

"That's why she asked where Mr. Matsuzaki was the first thing she did after being rescued. She only said those words after she knew the situation."

"A test?" Xiaolan was a little confused and murmured, "They're obviously getting married soon!"

"People sometimes wonder if their partner is sincere to them, and they come up with all sorts of ways to test it, like deliberately getting intimate with the opposite sex," said Hibiki.

"Ms. Toda's move is extreme and very dangerous, for both parties involved."

Xiaolan was silent, and then she felt relieved.

Because she didn't need to use this incomprehensible method to do something called testing but actually harmful.

If you truly love each other, you shouldn't use such a selfish method.

She and Kitagawa Taki had already experienced life and death together.

Unlike Xiaolan, Kisaki Eri is feeling very complicated now.

She took off the ring, wasn't that a "test"?

But someone didn't seem to care at all.

Sure enough, feelings cannot stand the test...

At this time, Maori Kogoro said: "In this case, we can't just sit back and watch. I will go find them all, and then you, brother Kitagawa, will reveal the truth!"

"Wait!" Kitagawa Taki called out to Maori Kogoro, "Brother Maori, just call Matsuzaki Haru over. It's better not to spread the taboo of siblings too widely."

Maori Kogoro slapped his head and said, "Brother Kitagawa, you are really thoughtful!"

After saying that, he went out to look for someone.

Xiaolan sighed: "Oh, how could this happen?"

Although I have seen a lot following Kogoro Mori, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing.

Because the younger sister was jealous of her sister-in-law, she wanted to kill her.

I took advantage of the time when my sister-in-law was testing my feelings.

Kisaki Eri patted Xiaolan on the shoulder and comforted her: "Humans are such complicated creatures, especially when it comes to emotional matters."

She has been a lawyer for many years and has seen all sorts of weird things.

This kind of forbidden love is not unheard of.

"Lan, you have to be careful with your relationships in the future. Don't be like me."

Kisaki Eri said this because she hoped that Xiaolan would not end up like her and have to test her feelings.

But Xiaolan obviously didn't understand and thought that Kisaki Eri was targeting Kogoro Mouri again.

It wasn't just Xiaolan who misunderstood. Kitagawa Taki twitched his lips. It was no wonder that he took it personally. It really sounded like the words were directed at him.
