Chapter 321: The Bomb in the Wine Box

On the evening of Friday, January 10th, at Hotata House restaurant in the mountains on the outskirts of Tama-cho.

Mr. Hotta left the restaurant, Yamazaki and Conan glanced at each other and followed out together.

Following Mr. Hotta all the way, watching him return to the room and close the door, Conan asked, "What excuse do you have?"

"No." Yamazaki said, "Just knock on the door and go in."

"What did you say to him?" Conan said, "Uncle Maori's lucky stars have brought you into bad luck. Now someone wants to do something bad to you. We need to check your room."

Yamazaki asked with a smile: "Isn't this a very powerful excuse?" He knocked on the door of Mr. Hotta's room.

"Who is it?" Mr. Hotta asked.

"I'm the assistant of Detective Maori," Yamazaki said. "Detective Maori thinks you may be in danger. Let me check."

Mr. Hotta asked, "What do you mean?"

"Since you know Detective Mori's reputation as a detective," Yamazaki said with a smile, "you must also know the name of Detective Mori's famous star."

There was silence in the room, and Mr. Hotta said, "Please come in."

Yamazaki and Conan entered the room, and Yamazaki asked, "Mr. Hotta, can I ask you and your daughter?"

"What did you say?" Mr. Hotta exclaimed angrily.

"Don't get excited," Yamazaki said, "I just want to know about the situation. You just said that you haven't seen each other for five years. I want to hurt you so you don't have to wait until today. Uncle Maoli heard you two arguing over the invitation card. You Said that it was not sent to Miss Wenzi, but Miss Wenzi insisted that you sent invitations to her."

Mr. Hotta asked in surprise: "You mean to send invitations to Wenzi in my name?"

"Yes." Yamazaki said, "So please tell me why you fell out with your daughter."

"Well," Mr. Hotta thought for a while and said, "Five years ago, my daughter brought a boyfriend back and said she wanted to marry him. I disagreed, so, so we fell out."

"Mr. Hotta, with all due respect, is there anything else you haven't said? It's been five years. If Ms. Fumiko eloped with that person, the child she gave birth to could call you grandpa now, maybe the second Both of them were born. If she thinks that you sent the invitation, then she will definitely think that you have forgiven her, and she will definitely bring her husband and children here to meet you." Yamazaki asked, "Now, since Your daughter, Miss Wenzi, came here alone, so did something happen to her boyfriend five years ago? Is it related to you?"

"Well," Mr. Hotta hesitated and sighed, "Even the assistant is so good, Maori detective must be even better." Then he said, "Wenzi's boyfriend is a new star in the piano world. I couldn't control it for a while. Two of his fingers were broken."

Yamazaki asked, "What happened next?"

"Later he committed suicide." Mr. Hotta said, "I really didn't mean it. I had already found a suitable match for Wenzi, so I temporarily..."

"From a moral point of view, you are unforgivable, but from a legal point of view, you only need to lose money, and this money should be enough for him to open a small shop for a long time." Yamazaki asked, "So, Do you know his basic information?"

"I only know that his father is an engineer, how can a person of this kind of background be worthy of my daughter.

"Mr. Hotta said, and then asked, "Okay, now, you can tell me who wants to harm me, right?" Koichi, or Ryoji? "

Yamazaki asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"I know these two bastards want me to die early so that I can get my inheritance." Mr. Hotta said with some displeasure, "But how can these two idiots keep this family business? I'm sure they will be killed in a few years." People murdered them, and they either committed suicide due to huge debts, or went to receive relief funds.” Then, perhaps because they were thirsty, they wanted to pick up a wooden wine box on the table.

"Wait a minute," Yamazaki said, "If I were you, I wouldn't touch anything suspicious here."

"What do you mean?" Mr. Hotta asked.

"What's unusual?" Yamazaki asked Conan.

"I didn't find anything in this room that shouldn't be there." Conan said, "I don't know if the circuit has been changed or something."

"In order to have an alibi, the murderer will be with everyone after you leave the scene," Yamazaki said, "and this must have set up some mechanism for you to touch, and then kill you."

"I see." Mr. Hotta asked, "Then who wants to harm me?"

Yamazaki asked: "Do you seem to trust Butler Yamauchi?"

"It's him? No, it's impossible." Mr. Hotta shook his head and said, "No, if it was him, I would have died long ago."

"What if he is waiting for someone?" Yamazaki said, "wait for the opportunity to bring you and your daughter together."

"What!" Mr. Hotta said in surprise, "Why is that? Wait a minute, isn't it possible that Yamauchi is that guy's engineer father?"

Yamazaki asked, "How long has he been here?"

"Almost two years." Mr. Hotta said.

"Then it's not surprising to learn your handwriting." Yamazaki said, "Then write an invitation with a bit of apology. I think your daughter will definitely come, and then he can implement his plan."

Mr. Hotta said, "What plan?"

"I don't know." Yamazaki said, "In two years, there are too many organs that can be deployed." Then he asked, "You don't answer the phone in this villa, do you use a satellite phone?"

"Yes." Mr. Hotta said, "I'll call the police right away."

"Tell me where the phone is, and I'll get it." Yamazaki said, "If he has a bomb installed and you move around, it will be troublesome."

"It's in the drawer." Mr. Hotta said, pointing to the table where the wooden wine box was placed.

Yamazaki took two steps forward, then his face changed, then he reached out and picked up the wooden wine box and asked, "Who sent this?"

"What?" Conan asked in surprise, "Isn't there a bomb in here?"

"What?" Mr. Hotta was taken aback, "Damn Ryoji." As he said that, he wanted to go out to find him.

"It's not him." Conan pointed to the greeting card and asked, "Who would leave his name here."

"But this bottle of wine was indeed sent by Ryoji." Mr. Hotta said, and then added, "Wait a minute, this is from Yamauchi."

"Conan, take it." Yamazaki stuffed the wooden wine box into Conan's hand, then opened the drawer and found that the satellite phone was still there.

"Boy, you are saved." Yamazaki said with a smile.

Yamazaki stood by the window, opened the window, and first called the police to inform the Megure police department, saying that there was a bomb here, and asked him to come over immediately.

"What is this for?" Conan asked.

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Of course they sent us home."...
