Chapter 1002 Waiting and Hope (Chapter 1k)
"I just knew..."
After searching for nothing, Takuya Mifun, who got the latest news, patted his forehead and made a funny expression "I just said I would do this".
Such a group of people looked quite imposing when they acted together, but they were thrown into the mountains and forests but they could only say that they were nothing, let alone that they included several young masters who had almost zero knowledge of survival in the wild.
Looking for someone? If they don't lose themselves, they are considered to have some strength.
"Anyway, do you mean that the people from the Nikaido got lost while searching?"
"I left with him." Wuzhao shook his head, "I had a fight with him for a few times, but I didn't see him when I turned around."
He knew the purpose of the detective asking such a question, so he felt very wronged.
He and Yuji Nikaido acted together. After separation, not only did Nikaido become single, but he himself was also single. The dangers he faced were obviously the same. It would be like he lost Nikaido?
"I didn't deliberately stimulate him. Instead, he kept saying something. The marriage contract candidate had been decided long ago, it was him or something..." Wuzhao Xiu pursed his lips speechlessly, "Who knows why he suddenly went crazy?"
The quarrel is not surprising. For Sijing Lihua, everyone has been fighting for a long time, and it is normal for the relationship to be stiff.
But in such a complicated place that may never be found again after getting lost, he can still be so tough and turn his head away when he turns away. It is really shocking Wuzhao Xiu.
"He may be telling the truth." In response, Ichizhi Takashi just said calmly, "Did you forget about Yaeko two years ago? Nikaido can be regarded as her savior. Of course, if she was not saved by Nikaido and was actually saved by Yaeko, then the relationship between the two of them would only be closer."
This was a bit rude, and it calmed down the crowd that was originally a bit noisy and suffocating.
If what they said was the truth at the beginning, then it is natural that Yuji, who successfully saved Siyi Rika, became the candidate for the engagement with gratitude. The latter means that they both bear the same life. This common and impossible secret that can be said will indeed tie their future lives together.
"Your accusation is unnecessary..." Liuda Kazushi spoke out and interrupted the atmosphere, paying attention to the direction of the door from the corner of his eyes.
There, Grandma Mi was carrying the prepared hot water and handing a wet towel to the people who walked in the door so that they could wipe off the mud and dust on their bodies.
Yaeko's full name is Qiwei Yaeko, and she is the granddaughter of Grandma Yone.
Others may not know this, and of course, Sushi Rokuta, who has a close relationship with the Sijing family, knows it.
"The most urgent thing is that everyone should not act rashly." Seeing that there were still a few people preparing to speak in the audience, Tang Ze spoke and turned the topic from the past grievances in time. "Two people have been missing. If you still have to go out to act or look for it, it may only cause more missing cases."
"This makes sense." Takuya Mifune looked at his watch and immediately agreed, "It's already 12 o'clock. I think it's true that we're looking for it aimlessly. Now contact the president of Sijing and tell him that the situation is difficult and let him organize a search and rescue team to arrive as soon as possible."
"How is the level of forest land development in this mountain? Are there any wild beasts, insects and snakes?" Kogoro Mouri asked a more professional question.
"The development level is not very high." Rokuta Kazushi replied, "This is the new land that Sijing Group has bought for a few years. It will build a resort manor here, and it also wants to prepare for the future resort plan. There are many dangers in the woods."
"Well, so, no matter what you think, I think the most urgent thing is to contact the Sijing family and let them contact a reliable rescue agency as soon as possible. With our manpower alone, it is difficult to find Miss Sijing." Kogoro Maori calmly said, "It started to rain outside, and the weather is deteriorating further. Miss Sijing Rika took the initiative to enter the woods in front of all of us. Now she is missing. No matter what, I have to give the President of Sijing an explanation. What do you think?"
His words are to let these people not always worry about the troublesome things. If Lihua in Sijing really disappears, the president of Sijing will have no place to say the anger.
Now that he is worried about angering him because of his only daughter's disappearance, if it is counted as a delay in the rescue, there will be no room for action...
"You are right. I'll contact the president." Rokuta Kazushi immediately started to take out his cell phone.
"Then I'll contact the staff at home who have experience in this area." Wuzhao Xiu also quickly reacted and also started to take his mobile phone. "The terrain of the mountains and forests here is complex and requires a professional rescue team..."
"I think everyone can be more optimistic." Takuya Mifun put his hands in his pockets without even taking them out, and said casually, "At least, Lihua is the forest he chose to run into, which means there is no human factor here. Even if something happens, it won't be blamed for others."
———
Not long after dawn, as the rescue team who arrived in time brought back the news that Sijing Rihua was quickly slapped in the face.
"This is okay to say it's human factors..." Looking at the bodies of Rika Shiyi and Yuji Nikaido who were carried back together, Takuya Mifun laughed dryly, "Fortunately, this human factors themselves have disappeared, otherwise it would be a bit dangerous."
The meaning of this sentence can be seen by anyone with eyes.
The two drowned people showed an inseparable and entangled state. Since the death time was not long and the bodies were still in a stage of change, neither the police nor the rescue personnel could completely separate the two bodies.
It is not necessary to use the detective's mind to draw a conclusion that one of them must be drowning and the other being dragged down together.
"It's more like Miss Sijing drowning. Then, in order to save people, Mr. Nikaido was hugged by Miss Sijing who drowned, which eventually drowned." The person in charge of the rescue team covered the white cloth and said to the oldest person in the field, who looked more like a conversation person.
He has rich experience in rescue and salvage, so he is very confident when he says this preliminary conclusion.
People who are drowning and suffocating must be very excited. The pain caused by suffocation and panic caused by drowning, coupled with the impact of water on people's five senses, are almost difficult to communicate.
They will try their best to hold on to anything that may save themselves. People with no rescue experience will come into the water and get drowning with them. There are many cases of drowning, including swimmers with excellent water properties.
This is how humans are. It is an eternal instinct to seek profit and avoid harm.
When Sijing Lihua is alive, she can be regarded as a very selfish individual among humans. It is unrealistic to ask her to calmly deal with the status quo at such a life-and-death juncture.
"I have to drag one to death, which is very consistent with my imagination of Lihua." Takumi Mifune, who was not good at complaining about the deceased in person, could only whisper to Tang Ze in such a low voice.
Tang Ze pulled the corner of his mouth, at least he knew that he was facing a corpse, so he controlled his smile.
Conan happened to put down his hand pulling the white cloth, turned his head, and looked at him in an exploratory manner.
This smile-like expression was completely reflected in Conan's eyes.
The deaths of these two people are not surprising in themselves.
But this frustrated Conan, who was always wary of whether Akichigoro had other purposes for action.
Both Rika Shiyi and Yuji Nikaido were drowned. This is an unquestionable conclusion. No matter how well Akichigoro was in good hands and eyes, a search and rescue team temporarily contacted by the victim's family did not need to assist him in creating smoke bombs.
After he had just stepped forward to check, he further confirmed that the death of the two people was around 12 pm.
At that time, Akichigoro had just returned to the villa with Takashi Ichira and Takuya Mifune.
Even if the situation is a bit extreme, Ichiji Takashi and Mifun Takuya are all involved with the organization, and they can be regarded as disguised subordinates who obeyed his orders. On the way back, they also encountered Gojo Shu who was single and Kogoro Mori and Joshi Ryuda who were searching in teams. There were no other witnesses.
The traces on the deceased were also very natural, and the wrinkles on the clothes corresponded one by one to the breakage and the bruises that began to appear on the skin.
Some tiny scars that were not so easy to find during their lifetime will be more obvious as the blood coagulation occurs during the period after death. However, Conan studied for a long time but still did not find out the possibility of killing the dead first and then creating such a scene. But it is true that Rika Shii meets Akichigoro alone before her death...
After Lihua Sijing ran out, everyone else anxiously climbed through the window to chase him. Only Akitoro leisurely pulled the two of them to change directions and chased him to the front door...
Suspicious, but no evidence is found at this stage.
Even if there might be any evidence in their drowning pool, it would have been destroyed as the search and rescue team searched and salvaged.
It's really just a coincidence or an accident. Does it have nothing to do with Akichigoro... Do you want to go to the scene to take a look again...
While Conan lowered his head and pondered, the head of the search and rescue team communicated with the players behind him, then took something and walked over.
"Mr. Sijing, who paid for us, already knows the situation. He wants to find out the true situation of the two deaths. This is something we found not far from their drowning scene. I hope you can do an assertion with us."
He would say this, and he must have checked the things inside.
This is the starting point of tracing the blame, which is used to show that we deeply regret your daughter's death, but there is a debt and a debt. It is really unlucky for us to take your money.
Although I was clear about my heart, everyone still nodded in cooperation.
"This is Nikaido's camera." Gojo Shu looked at the machine they wrapped in plastic bags, and gave new clues when he was free. "Nikaido is not a complete photography enthusiast, but he will like to take some things. This camera was brought by him and wanted to record Miss Rika's birthday party as a souvenir."
They all found that the vehicle was destroyed when they were about to leave after the banquet, and were forced to stay in the lounge by Lihua Sijing forcibly changing clothes.
Until Sijing Lihua jumped off the building and fled, they did not find the right time to wash up, and the guest rooms were allocated after they disappeared without finding them.
Thinking of this, Nikaido's camera has never been able to find a chance to put it down, and it seems that it makes sense to be carried by him.
"Oh, so that's it."
The head of the rescue team opened the plastic bag in front of them and walked into the villa with a few people, connecting the camera that had obviously been washed by the rain for a long time to the TV.
Soon, the content inside was played.
Perhaps because of the erosion of rain, there were many traces of faults and interference in the originally smooth and coherent picture in the camera, and not many clips can be seen.
"This is not good for digital products." Kogoro Mouri curled his lips, "This is to be replaced by film..."
"Then the camera Nikaido can't carry it." Conan said calmly, "This is not a camera. The film camera is very large."
"Tsk, long-winded..."
As the two of them talked, the scene had quickly skipped the scene of the Sijing Lihua's figure coming and going everywhere at the banquet, and it was played to the highlight.
At the beginning, the camera was obviously held in the hand and there was a very obvious shaking. After a brief focus, the lens was aimed at Lihua Sijing.
At this time, she had not fallen into the water, but her nightgown was wet with the rain, and her hair was pressed against her face in a mess.
She glared at the person holding the camera and roared familiar to the people present: "You blame me now?! What's wrong? Do you regret saving me now?! Why don't you regret it when you threaten to be my boyfriend!"
"Isn't it all your reasons for us to fall into this situation?!" Nikaido's voice was louder and closer than her, as if it was Nikaido Yuji herself holding the camera. "It was you who killed Yaeko!"
"Ha?! Me?! She has said everything that she can hand over her life jacket to me and then let you go on a kayak to maintain balance. It's because you are afraid of death. You feel that you can't go back to the kayak, so you have to snatch her life jacket..."
"Did you not give the order at that time?! Isn't it your request!"
"When will I...! You ungrateful wolf, I shouldn't have given up Yaeko back then, I should have let you die directly!"
"What did you say!"
Although the previous scene was damaged, except for a few scenes shaking in the woodland, it was impossible to see because of the reason, and I don’t know why the two missing people stood by the pool for no reason and argued about the past two years ago, the attention of others was quickly attracted by the amount of information in their words, and they had no time to consider this simple logical problem.
These two people admit in disguise that they killed Yaeko Nakayaka, and the quarrel between the couple is still escalating.
After this scene, there was another series of scenes damaged, and it was only vaguely visible that the conflict between the two people escalated to the physical level.
When the picture becomes clear again, the entire picture has turned 90 degrees.
That is to say, the person who originally held the camera threw it on the ground, and the picture completely changed from handheld to fixed camera positions.
It was also at the same time that the Sijing Lihua, who was originally shaking by the quarrels and roaring, lost her balance and fell down.
Judging from the physical condition and expression, it is even recommended by Nikaido Yuzi.
However, just like Takuya Mifune’s complaint, Rika Siyi is a person who will drag someone into the water even if she dies.
The terrified expression on her face had not completely dissipated, and a trace of malicious light had already condensed. The white but small scratches seemed to have been wandering in the forest for a long time, holding Yuji Nikaido's tie tightly.
The tie bought by Nikaido Yuji is definitely of good price. As it turns out, it is indeed a good thing to get what you pay for.
Caught off guard, Yuji Nikaido was pulled down from the water together.
All the people present, except Tang Ze and Yizhilong, raised their hands and loosened their bow tie.
It’s not that Yizhilong didn’t feel the pain in his neck, he just was so shocked that he had no time to react.
He stared at Tang Ze blankly, with tears of almost reverence flashing in his eyes.
The detective who listened to his desire not only fulfilled his wish, but also did not let any cause and effect be contaminated.
No matter how Akichigoro did it, the scene was perfect and anyone could easily judge that the two of them died of the killing of each other by dog biting.
More importantly, he made two real evil men admit their crimes in person before they died, and found justice for the unknown Yaeko who died...
Yizhilong raised his hand, took off his glasses in a mess, covering his eyes that were constantly getting hot and about to shed tears.
Is this waiting, and hope?
