Chapter 518: The Truth About the Nagato Family

November 2, Sunday night, Nagato mansion.

Conan and Hattori Heiji searched for more than half an hour, and when the police arrived, at nearly twelve o'clock, they did not find Nagato Hideomi's body. The team was led by the Megure Police Department, and Officer Takagi was among them, and Yamazaki also came in after them. Yamazaki's taxi hitched a ride with the police car on the road, and followed the police car.

At the scene, after a preliminary understanding of the situation, the Mugure Police Department asked: "So the murderer is Mr. Nagato's son, Mr. Hidetomi?"

Hattori Heiji said, "That's not the case. All we saw was a man with a bandage on his face."

"Bandages?" Memu Police Department asked.

"Mr. Xiuchen's face was severely burned." Mao Li said.

Hattori Heiji said: "It was after ten o'clock in the evening when we saw the murderer. At that time, everyone just gathered in the president's bedroom on the third floor."

"What do you mean?" Mumu Police Department asked.

"Me, Ran, Conan, Hattori, Ms. Yasuko, Ms. Hyuga, and Mr. Takeshi the housekeeper." Mori said, "Then we all went to the downstairs room except Ms. Hyuga."

Mumu Police Department asked: "This rope with a hook is hooked on the balcony on the second floor, so did the murderer escape from the balcony?"

Hattori Heiji said: "Yes, the rope was still dangling when the guards and I surrounded us from outside."

Mumu Police Department asked: "So, where is the suspected Mr. Hidetomi?"

"We haven't found Mr. Hidetomi anywhere," Hattori Heiji said. "We suspect that Mr. Hidetomi has been killed."

"What!" Megure Police Department and Maori were taken aback.

Hattori Heiji stated his reasoning. The murderer killed Nagato Hideomi yesterday, wrapped it in a sheet and buried it in the yard. He wrapped the bandage around his face and made up Nagato Hideomi. I ran in the corridor many times last night, rehearsing today's events, and finally the murderer carried out this murder plan today, killed Nagato Guangming, and then removed the disguise and turned into someone in the mansion.

"People in the mansion?" Mumu Police Department asked, "Are you sure no one has gone out?"

Mao Li said: "No, the police department, the surveillance video shows that no one has been in or out."

"It's so big here, is there really no blind spot?" Megure Police Department asked.

"Yes," Maori said, "the external monitoring system here is very strict."

"Speaking of which, who designed this house?" Megure Police Department said, "The fence outside this house is so close to the balcony on the second floor, it is too dangerous, and it obviously does not meet the standards."

"This was designed by the master a long time ago." Musashinosuke said, "Maybe there was no standard for this at the beginning."

At this time, Conan pointed to a small wound on the right hand of Nagato Guangming's body that was carried down and asked: "Hey, what's the matter with this wound?"

Maori planted a big mushroom on Conan's head, "When the adults speak, the children should not interrupt." Then he looked at the wound, "The murderer stabbed him with a knife, or he was pushed down and touched somewhere on the fence of."

Yamazaki asked: "The ring on the left hand, can you take it off and have a look?"

The forensic personnel took it off and saw that there was a buckle on the ring, and the fishing line inside could be pulled out as long as it was pulled.

"What's this for?" Molly asked suspiciously.

"I don't know," Hattori Heiji said, "but it seems to be more than enough to strangle people."

"Hey, Hattori, you have searched everywhere," Yamazaki asked, "What about the pond in the middle of the courtyard?"

"By the way," Hattori Heiji asked Musashinosuke, "Can the water in that pond be drained?"

"Okay." Musashinosuke ordered the water in the pond to be drained.

Soon after, under the illumination of numerous flashlights, as the water dwindled, a body with burn marks on the left face was slowly revealed.

"Xiu, Master Hidetomi!" Musashinosuke cried out, and then hurried up to inform Nagato Dozo, Nagato Nobuko, Nagato Yasue and Hinata Aoi.

"It seems that Hattori's reasoning is correct." Megure Police Department ordered, "Takagi, go and investigate the situation of the staff in this mansion for the past two days."...

On the other side, the third bedroom with the long doorway.

On the bed, Nagato Dosan was still sleeping. On a sofa by the wall, Nagato Nobuko hugged Nagato Kangjiang and comforted him softly. On the other sofa, Ri Xiangkui was sitting beside her, holding her father's pen, obviously lost in thought. Lan sat next to her.

Hearing the knock on the door, Lan went to open the door.

Musashinosuke said: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, Miss Hinata, can you come out for a while, there is a very important matter."

"Let's talk about it here." Nagato Dosan said.

"Father, you're awake." Nagato Nobuko said.

"I was woken up by Maori detectives as soon as I fell asleep." Nagato Dosan said, "Tell me, let me listen too."

"It's the young master, the young master..." Musashinosuke stammered.

"What!" Nagato Nobuko, Nagato Yasuko, Hinata Kwai and Lan were taken aback. Sun Xiangkui couldn't stand steadily, and Lan supported her to sit on the sofa.

After a moment of silence, Nagato Dosan said sadly: "Really? Xiuchen also..."

"What's going on here?" Nagato Nobuko asked.

"Xiuchen, why is this happening?" Nagato Kang Jiang cried loudly.

"Xinzi, you don't need to accompany me, go down and have a look." Nagato Dosan said.

After Nagato Nobuko, Nagato Yasue, and Musashinosuke left, Nagato Dozo said, "Miss Lan, you go too, I want to have a few words with Hinata."...

Downstairs by the pool.

The forensic personnel found a suicide note from the chest pocket of Nagato Hideomi's body, "I am not qualified to marry you. In order to make up for the crimes I committed, I choose to die."

The Mumu Police Department asked: "Miss Nobuko, is this a note from Mr. Hidetomi?"

"Maybe." Nagato Nobuko said, "He must have his letters in his room."

Not long after, the forensic personnel reported, "The police department, the deceased did not die from drowning, but from poisoning."

"Poisoned?" Mumu Police Department asked, "When was the death time?"

"Judging from the water immersion, it was initially determined to be two or three hours ago." The forensic officer said, "Poison has a great impact on the time of death, and the specific time of death can only be known after an autopsy."

"Two or three hours ago was when the incident happened," Maori said. "Police, it seems that Mr. Xiuchen himself did this incident. After killing Mr. Guangming, he escaped from the balcony and committed suicide directly. His route was exactly the opposite of the route taken by Hattori and the guards at the gate of the main house, so no one saw him."

Lan said: "However, no matter how bad the relationship between Mr. Xiuchen and Mr. Guangming is, it's not enough to kill people."

Musashinosuke said: "I think maybe it's because Master Hidetomi and Ms. Kang Jiang have a particularly good relationship. For the marriage between Ms. Kang Jiang and Mr. Guangming, the person who insisted on opposing to the end is Master Hidetomi."

The Mumu Police Department said: "Okay, now send the body back for detailed examination."

"Wait a minute." Nagato Daosan came over with the support of Hinata Kui.

"Father, why are you here?" Nagato Nobuko asked.

"Mumu police department, I won't let you take Xiuchen's body for autopsy." Nagato Dosan said, "Xiuchen doesn't even want to go for plastic surgery, and I don't think he wants anyone to use a knife on him."

The Mumu Police Department said: "But, Mr. Nagato, the time of Mr. Hidetomi's death..."

"I heard the reasoning that Detective Maori said just now. This incident should be the same as his reasoning. As for the motive of the murder, Kuranosuke made it very clear." Nagato Dosan said, and then said to Maori, "Thank you , Maori detective, helped me understand the truth, and I will send the fee as soon as possible."

"How embarrassing." Maori rubbed his hands and smiled.

"Mumu Police Department, Xiuchen is my only son, Guangming is my only son-in-law, and he is also my capable subordinate. No matter who has the accident, I am very sad. Let's stop this matter." Nagato Dosan said , "Mumu Police Department, thank you for your hard work, you can go back."

"Mr. Nagato." Mumu Police Department shouted.

Nagato Dosan ignored the Mumu Police Department, but said to Nagato Nobuko: "Nobuko, call our hospital to keep their remains well."

"Yes, Dad." Nagato Nobuko said.

Hattori Heiji said: "Hey, there are still many doubts about this incident..."

"Kuranosuke, see off my guests." Nagato Dosan said, and then said to Hinata Aoi, "I'm a little tired, Hinata, help me go back."...

After that, the Megure Police Department, who had no way to investigate further, led the team to leave, and Mori, Ran, Conan, Yamazaki, and Hattori Heiji took the Rolls-Royce in the afternoon and left.

On the road, in the car.

Mao Li took out the afternoon wine, poured a glass, drank it happily, and then smiled proudly: "Ah, another case has been solved, my detective Mo Li Kogoro is really amazing." He poured another glass .

Is it really solved? Hattori Heiji and Conan glanced at each other. ...

More than an hour later, at about three o'clock in the morning, the Maori Detective Agency went downstairs.

After Maoli and others got out of the car, Yamazaki decided to stay at the detective agency for a few hours and write an incident report by the way. Hattori Heiji decided to stay overnight at Maoli's house. ...

On November 3rd, around four in the morning, at Maori's house, Maori's bedroom.

Hattori Heiji, who was lying on the floor, sighed, opened his eyes, looked at Conan next to him, and muttered in a low voice: "This guy is really good, the guy next to him is snoring like this, and he can sleep well."

"The secret is to fall asleep before Uncle Maori." Conan said.

"Aren't you asleep?" Hattori Heiji was taken aback, and then asked, "Thinking about this inexplicable incident?"

"Yes, the person who killed Mr. Guangming was definitely not Mr. Xiuchen." Conan said, "Mr. Xiuchen died before the incident happened."

Hattori Heiji said, "But Hidetomi-san did enter the water at that time."

Conan thought for a while and said, "By the way, you said that you heard from the security guard that Mr. Guangming used to look for Mr. Xiuchen around the bushes and pools."

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji said, "You mean, Mr. Guangming killed Mr. Hidetomi, hid his body there, and then transferred the body together with the prepared suicide note to the pool before committing the crime? This is indeed what you said That’s right. So, Mr. Guangming has another accomplice, otherwise who is the Mr. Xiuchen we saw? This must be the accomplice in disguise. Then this accomplice killed Mr. Guangming in order to keep the murder secret.”

"What do you think of that ring?" Conan asked.

"Of course it's something that kills." Hattori Heiji said, and then said in surprise, "Wait, in that family, Mr. Guangming wants to kill, except for the accomplice who may know that he killed Mr. Hidetomi, I am afraid..."

"President Nagato." Conan said, "It's easy to climb to the third floor with the hooked rope. After Mr. Guangming led us downstairs, he took the opportunity to climb to the third floor from the balcony..."

"At that time, there was only Ms. Hinata on the third floor. By the way, the wound on Mr. Guangming's hand looked like it was poked with a pen." Hattori Heiji said, "So, Miss Hinata made him fall to prevent Mr. Guangming from climbing up. Going down, it just fell on the fence. But why didn’t Ms. Hyuga say it? And President Nagato, why didn’t he say it? This can be regarded as self-defense.”

Conan asked, "Did you know about the Gomera incident?"

"Of course I know." Hattori Heiji said, "Because it cannot be determined in advance that all of you children will go after the murderer, so it cannot be confirmed that Mr. Matsui Hideho is the murderer."

Conan said: "So on the other hand, the person who stays may be an accomplice, that is, Ms. Hyuga."

"What? You mean Miss Hinata killed the object of her marriage proposal? Then why did she propose to Mr. Hidetomi? To cover up the motive of the murder?" Hattori Heiji said, "And Ms. Hinata was once rescued from the fire by Mr. Hidetomi, ah ? No, if you say..."

"If it is said that Mr. Xiuchen really committed suicide, then all this makes sense." Conan said.

"Yes, if the suicide note is true, then the crime Mr. Hidetomi said may be too great. He set fire to the hotel and caused many people, including Ms. Hinata's parents, to die in the fire." Hattori Heiji said, "And his The accomplice was Mr. Guangming who was by his side at that time, so Mr. Xiuchen has always opposed the marriage between Miss Kang Jiang and Mr. Guangming."

"Mr. Hidetomi may have left a letter to Ms. Hinata. After Ms. Hinata found out about the incident, she took advantage of Mr. Guangming's desire to kill the president and planned this incident." Conan said, "At that time, there was no one next to Mr. Guangming, but he was alone. People are singing a monologue. After leading us down, hook the rope from the balcony of the room on the second floor to the president’s bedroom on the third floor, and then climb up along the rope, trying to strangle the president with a ring.”

"This can also explain the reason why he took off his gloves. First, it is not easy to climb with gloves on. Second, there are a lot of his fingerprints in the president's bedroom, which can be well concealed." Hattori Heiji said, "However, waiting for Mr. Guangming It was not a helping hand, but a pen. When Mr. Guangming stretched out his hand to ask Miss Hinata to pull him up, Miss Hyuga poked Mr. Guangming’s other hand with the pen, and Mr. Guangming let go of his hand in pain, so it fell go down."

"This can explain that Mr. Guangming was still pretending to ask for help when he saw Miss Hinata, and Miss Hinata did not scream or shout when he saw Mr. Guangming." Conan said.

"Yes, this only makes sense if Mr. Guangming and Ms. Hyuga are accomplices." Hattori Heiji said, "Then Ms. Hyuga took off the hook rope from the railing on the third floor and threw it to the balcony on the second floor. There was a heavy object tied to one end of the hook rope. As long as the hook is on the inside of the balcony and the weight is on the outside, the hook rope can be hooked to the railing by relying on the gravity of the weight.”

"The sound of running must be counting the time, the round-trip time from the president's bedroom to the downstairs room, and the round-trip time to get the spare key." Conan said, "And the strange sound of something colliding, I'm afraid it's a throwing hook." The sound of heavy objects hitting the wall while rope."

"Now as long as the handwriting on the suicide note checked by the Megure Police Department is indeed Mr. Hidetomi's, then the truth is what we said." Hattori Heiji said, "Then President Nagato will help Ms. Miss Hinata's guilt, to atone for his son."

"More than that," Conan said, "If I'm not wrong, President Nagato's first girlfriend may be Ms. Hinata's mother. The reason why President Nagato thought of his first girlfriend was because he saw him in Ms. Hyuga. The shadow of his first love girlfriend. Later, he thought that she might have been burned to death, so he gave up the investigation. After all, if he didn’t know, Ms. Akagi Kotomi could still be alive and live in his heart.”

Hattori Heiji said: "Hey, this is wrong, Miss Hinata was six years old at that time, right? You don't even know your name and where your home is?"

"Maybe it's amnesia." Conan said, "I didn't see that she even changed her surname to Hinata."

"That makes sense." Hattori Heiji said, "It seems that you haven't regressed."

"This is a very simple reasoning, you are too bad." Conan sighed, "Just notice the ring and you can guess it."

"Hey, hey, don't you mean that guy Yamazaki also guessed it?" Hattori Heiji smiled, "You take advantage of it and stop in moderation, otherwise don't say I bully the children."

"That guy must have guessed it." Conan said.

"Okay, next time I will get the venue back." Hattori Heiji said, and then asked, "Tomorrow, no, is there any show for him today?"

"Except for the activities of the whole class, he seems to have never participated in other activities." Conan laughed.

"It's a pity," Hattori Heiji said.

Conan said: "Okay, it's getting late, I want to take a nap."

"Understood, to monitor my girlfriend's culture festival." Hattori Heiji smiled. ...

In the morning, after six o'clock, Miyamoto's house.

Mei Daizi came out of the room to look at Yamazaki's room, and found that Yamazaki hadn't come back, so she ran to the living room to make a phone call.

"Next door." Miyamoto Ichiro said as he put down his tea cup. ...
