Chapter 515: Beating the worker Hoshikawa diligently
"What the hell is 'Western Kudo Shinichi'?" As soon as he saw the other person's face, Hattori Heiji immediately remembered some unpleasant experiences and clenched his fists. "Hey, don't give me weird nicknames!"
"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Xingchuan Hui smiled skillfully and rolled his eyes.
Although his acting skills are still not comparable to Karasawa, under the intense pressure from the group leader, Hoshikawa Teru, who was even forced to appear in variety shows for Karasawa, is no longer the person who doesn’t know how to laugh even when he smiles. I’m a newbie at mobilizing facial muscles.
It is still difficult to deceive Bermod and his like, but it is more than enough to fool the detectives who are not familiar with Goro Akechi.
Especially when he doesn't need to show any specific reasoning skills - when it comes to attack power alone, he also has his own opinions on the yin and yang.
For example, at this moment, Hattori Heiji, who was standing opposite him, was very angry.
"That's obviously 'Kudo from Kanto, Hattori from Kansai'. It doesn't mean the same thing at all! Can you really be a detective with your memory?" Hattori Heiji clenched his fists and looked worriedly He glanced at Hinata Xing who looked at them curiously, but did not say any more unpleasant words.
Goro Akechi, your words are still so ugly! This guy who hangs out in front of the camera all day is indeed not a serious detective.
"It's all the same." Hoshikawa Teru smiled deliberately and looked at his protruding veins for a while, then turned to Karasawa and asked knowingly, "Why do you appear here? This is not Osaka. , not Tokyo, has your radiation range expanded to such a wide area?”
"...Isn't this the same problem for me?" The veins on Hattori Heiji's head popped out again. Goro Akechi's pretentious speaking style belongs to the type of person he hates very much. Every time he speaks, it takes a lot of effort from him. Great endurance, "Are you not from Tokyo? You still said that we were 'stealing business' and so on..."
"Of course I am not. You two, although I am also regarded as a high school detective. , but I am not a real high school student. "In fact, Hoshikawa Hui, who has gone to school more than Karasawa, showed a subtle smile and stared at Karasawa who had nothing to do with him." High school detectives and so on... For you, the focus is on high school students, but for me, the focus is on famous detectives."
"You kid..." Just two simple sentences. Hattori Heiji, who felt angry again after being told this, clenched his fists again.
Conan next to him touched his neck and felt an inexplicable chill on his back.
I don’t know why, but the other person was clearly looking at Karasawa and Hattori when they spoke, but he always felt like he was referring to him, "Kudo Shinichi" when he said "two people".
"Could it be that you are also investigating the affairs of the Nagato family?" Hoshikawa Teru, who had achieved initial success in talking, turned his head and glanced at Hinata Yuki who was standing there helplessly, "I remember, this The lady should be the president’s secretary of the Nagato Group and the fiancée of the Nagato family’s son?”
“Are you here, investigating the affairs of the Nagato family?” Hattori Heiji was stunned by his words. Forgetting the discomfort just now, he asked directly, "The disappearance case just happened not long ago. Where did you get the news?"
"Missing? Who is missing?" Xingchuan Hui tilted his head. , quickly changed the target and stared at Hinata Sachi and looked up and down, "Oh, is it Mr. Nagato Hidetomi? Although the situation of the succession of the Nagato family is not optimistic, it has developed so quickly to the point of directly threatening personal safety. It is really It's regrettable."
"Aren't you investigating disappearances?" Conan said after reacting and couldn't help but glance at the thing in Akechi Goro's hand.
His left hand was holding the suitcase with unknown contents, but his right hand was holding a letter with a bouquet pinned to it. It looked like the same thing they had been flipping through for a long time. style.
It was obvious that this guy had also traced the fire back then and had done the same thing as them.
"Of course not. I am different from you. I am a private detective who relies on commissions to make a living. I have to consider the revenue situation." At this point, he stopped talking and glanced at his expression. Hinata Yuki gradually became more subtle, "Well, what happens next is my client's privacy. Please forgive me for not saying more."
Seeing him stop and continue explaining, Conan glanced anxiously. A glance at the thing in his hand.
That is probably the clue they want to find nearby. Not only has someone arrived first, but the other party's attitude is unhurried and they obviously have no intention of cooperating well. This may very well lead to their pursuit getting stuck. deadlock.
Seeing that the conversation had come to a standstill, Karasawa, who had achieved his goal, finally raised his head, stopped in front of Hinata Sachi, and whispered: "The situation seems a bit complicated, Miss Hinata. You can give me a business card. As soon as there is news, I will contact you immediately. Please don’t worry. Let the detectives resolve the conflicts themselves.”
Hinata Yuki, who had been working as a secretary for many years, was not an ignorant rookie. He immediately heard the meaning in his words that he wanted to leave first, and understood his intention.
This new young detective seems to be related to other members of the Nagato family, so out of interest, it is inconvenient for them to communicate with her when she is present.
Hinata Yuki quickly took out his business card, and then took out the old pen on his chest, and quickly wrote a series of numbers on the back of the business card.
Tang Ze looked at this meaningful pen and blinked.
"The business card contains my work email and fax, and I have written my personal number on the back. Please, if you encounter any resistance, please contact me as soon as possible and I will find a solution." Hinata Yuki solemnly handed his contact information to Karasawa's hand with both hands and said very sincerely.
Tang Ze took out his mobile phone and pretended to enter the number on the back of the business card into his address book, but in fact he tapped Noah on the table.
The small Q-version robot with a sleepy look shook its head, and quickly slipped out along the frame of Tang Ze's mobile phone and disappeared.
"As expected of you, you are still so good at being a good guy... How boring is this?" After sarcastically following the setting arranged by Karasawa, Hoshikawa Teru turned his head, folded his arms and looked in front of him. The two detectives, one large and one small, said, "Okay, the relevant people have left the scene. We can discuss the situation as appropriate. What happened to the disappearance?"
Hattori Heiji, who arrived at Nagato Residence earlier, watched. He walked over, took a breath to adjust his emotions, and began to explain the current situation in a straightforward manner.
Xingchuan Hui pretended to listen attentively, but his peripheral vision always fell on Tang Ze, who was lowering his head and playing with his mobile phone.
Because of Rum's phone call, Tang Ze quickly made a decision and devised a new plan for this grudge between wealthy families that could be said to be simple or complex.
This case doesn’t matter who originally solves it, whether it’s a detective or the Phantom Thieves. Except that the parties involved work for a large consortium with big names, it is just one of the common cases.
Including Suzuki Sonoko, the detectives have caused trouble to many rich people, including every household.
However, since some paving work has been done on Rum's side, it is necessary to increase Kumail's role in this incident.
It is best to make a fuss that can be reported, so that you can add some new buffs to Bourbon and Kumel.
Promotions and salary increases, access to organizational secrets, interviews with the boss, etc. are just around the corner, but you haven’t taken action yet!
Tangze's identity is not suitable for too much exposure, so Hoshikawa Teru is still busy arranging a new round of heart-changing tasks, hyping up some issues with campus bullying, conflicts between teachers and students, etc. topic, but the next day, the person was dragged out by Tang Ze before dawn and was numbered.
"So that's it. In fact, my client is very suspicious." Turning back to look at it, Xingchuan Hui seemed to not remember what he just said about privacy issues, and spoke bluntly. Said, "The Nagato family has one son and two daughters in this generation. Nagato Mitsuyo is their second daughter, the husband of Nagato Yasue, who gave up his maiden name and joined the Nagato family. Currently, the family inheritance issue It's still unresolved, and it will have a lot of impact on their relationship."
"So, who is your client?" Hattori Heiji was relieved to see that Goro Akechi was still cooperative.
It’s good to know the priorities of things and sit down and have a good talk. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing for him to endure this annoying style of speaking to negotiate with the other party and pry out information. "My client is the eldest daughter of their family, Nobuko Nagato." After selling the news without any psychological burden, Hoshikawa Teru even had a real smile on his face, "She is the youngest of the three children. The one who feels the most urgent about this issue is that after all, the two younger siblings are either already married, and their husbands have already taken important positions in the group after getting married, or they are about to get married, and their wives have also climbed to the middle and upper levels of the group... She is the oldest, but Unable to use the same method to gain an advantage, we are already one step behind them in the competition.”
This is not a connection created by Teruo Hoshikawa.
He arrived in Yokohama two days earlier than this group of people.
I don’t know how the powerful Karasawa did it, but in short, Goro Akechi made a special trip to Yokohama because he received a commission from Nagato Nobuko.
"Do you think it's reached the point where we can threaten each other's safety over this?" When it comes to the inheritance of the future husband's family, Hinata Yuki definitely cannot say anything without permission, so this is also the case for Conan and the others. First time hearing this news.
"It's hard to say, but the head of the Nagato family has been in poor health for some time. You may have seen him at the Nagato residence." Hoshikawa Teru shrugged and revealed Karasawa's request to him. The information told the truth, "His youngest daughter is already 32 years old. This may not be the most urgent moment... but there must be people who can't wait."
"Then you think it will be Nagato Nobuko who does it?" "Heiji Hattori asked first about the member of the Nagato family that Goro Akechi had the most contact with.
"She has this motive, but maybe she doesn't have the courage. And..." Hoshikawa Teru's eyes glanced towards the path where Hinata Yuki left, "Her younger brother and sister, Nagato Hidetomi was disfigured because of his disfigurement. , she did not continue to go to school after high school and has been separated from society for a long time. Nagato Yasue has received a complete business education, but she definitely wants to be a young lady who is inexperienced in the world. Even if she really takes action, she chooses Nagato Mitsuo. It's reasonable, but compared to Nagato Hidetomi..."
"...She is more likely to murder Hinata Yuki, right?" Conan completed what he wanted to express, his eyes still on Akechi. On the letter in Goro's hand.
Compared with the information actively informed by the other party, he is still more willing to believe in the clues he has tracked down.
"Very smart, this little detective." As soon as he saw Conan's face, Xingchuan Hui felt a reflexive pain in his liver. He raised his eyebrows and snorted softly, and finally handed the things in his hands to them, "My The client hoped that I could find a way to add some leverage to her opponent, or destroy their current biggest support, which was their marriage. I followed the information she provided and found out about the incident that led to Nagato Hideomi's disfigurement. Fire..."
Ignoring the other party's attitude, Conan stood on tiptoes and pulled the thing out of his hand.
"Be careful, this is of great significance to my client." Thinking of the lady who was mean and difficult to communicate with, but after seeing her own appearance, she became extremely enthusiastic and acted out of bounds. Xingchuan Hui said something not very positive.
I really don’t know if it’s because of Karasawa’s acting style or because he fabricated the story about himself and an older rich woman’s makeup artist. It’s a prophecy that Teru Hoshikawa always has a kind of wise man who can easily attract people with evil intentions. The feeling of a rich woman, when facing Nobuko Nagato alone, I really felt butterflies in my heart.
So he didn’t really want to think about the client’s problem.
It has to be said that there is indeed a reason why a young lady who is eager to find a high-quality partner and needs a marriage relationship does not even have a marriage partner at this age.
Conan, who was already immersed in reading the letter, felt his heart slowly rise.
"This is a letter written by Hidetomi Nagato to Hinata Yuki's parents." He carefully controlled his strength and did not cause any damage to the fragrant letter in his hand, but his knuckles could no longer bear it. Curled up.
"It is indeed the case." Hattori Heiji nodded without surprise, "After all, he will marry Hinata Yuki soon. For both reasons and reasons, he should come to pay homage to his fiancee's parents."< br>
Especially under the premise that his first encounter with Hinata Sachi happened on the day they died.
"This is why I think the person who attacked him was not Ms. Nobuko." Hoshikawa Teru shook his hand, as if he wanted to get rid of the smell on his gloves, "His marriage to Hinata Yuki is very likely. If it can't proceed, then he will naturally not be the target of Nagato Nobuko."
"Well, you are right." After reading the entire letter, Conan confirmed his opinion with a heavy heart. "This letter implies a death wish. He cannot face Hinata Sachi and will most likely choose to confess to the other party before the marriage begins, or even..."
"And he clearly explained the situation back then." Hattori Heiji, who took the letter, also quickly found the key point, his brows were frowning, "The arsonist of the fire twenty years ago was Nagato Mitsuyo."
————
"Are you crazy?!" Nagato Mitsuomi stretched out his hand and grabbed Nagato Hideomi's collar, his voice was on the edge of breaking, "Do you know what you are doing!"
"You are the one who is crazy, not me!" Nagato Hideomi, who was tightly grabbed by the collar and his hands were tied behind his back, stared at the man in front of him through the gap between the bandages. " You clearly know what you did, and you are the culprit! If I really went crazy, I only regret that I didn’t go crazy early enough, and I couldn’t do it thoroughly enough, so I could only watch Kang Jiang being deceived by you..."
< br>With his arms tied, Nagato Hidetomi's entire face was tightly wrapped in bandages. The white bandages blurred all his facial features, like a blank face with no discernible identity.
There was only a pair of bloodshot eyes, wide open in the eye sockets. The emotions contained in them were strong and real, as if they could stare right through him.
The ups and downs of Nagato Guangming's chest immediately intensified when he was stared at by such eyes: "That was already twenty years ago! Even Hinata Yuki has forgotten those things, and they have long been irrelevant. It’s because you have no reason to worry about this kind of thing!”
“What are you talking about? The fire made her an orphan and caused her to lose her last relative! How can this be called irrelevant? !" Nagato Hideomi shouted back, just like every time they quarreled, "So many families and so many people died in the fire..."
"Don't sound like you're a good person." Nagato Mitsuo sneered, letting go of Nagato Hideomi's hand, "Twenty years have passed, and you still haven't said or done anything. Even back then, you sat back and watched me light that pile of straw..."
"...This is something I will regret for the rest of my life, so I choose to tell Aixing the truth at this time." Nagato Hideomi, who was stung by his words, twitched slightly, and the uneven scar under the bandage once again felt severe burning pain, as if the flame from twenty years ago had never left, "Even if you are now It’s the same thing if you kill me. It’s better to say that I don’t want to live in the first place.”
Nagato Guangming gritted his teeth.
Why doesn’t he want to do this? He even secretly came up with the plan to kill his sick father-in-law first, put the blame on Nagato Hideomi, and then kill him too.
But Hidetomi Nagato, who had been cowardly and silent all his life, suddenly learned a trick from nowhere, and actually told him that he had set up an automatic email and sent it Connected to a watch that monitors your heart rate.
Because he planned to commit suicide and use his life to atone for Hinata Xingxing, who had been deceived by him for twenty years.
The moment his heart stops beating, the confession letter filled with repentance will be sent to Hinata Sachi's mailbox...
Damn it, this is not the Nagato Hidetomi Association. After all the preparations he had made, he was locked in his room all day writing nonsense, and it was impossible for him to understand electronic equipment so well...
Who taught him this!
"Twenty years have passed." Nagato Miguel, who was feeling very tired, sat down on another chair, took a breath, thought for a while, and began to understand things with emotion and reason. "Hyuga was adopted by such a good family, and our family also sent her to the best university to complete her studies, and you are also planning to marry her. She can even control part of the power of the Nagato Consortium and become a top executive of the consortium... You We are already making it up to her, and we are all doing our best to make it up to her
"Even if you expose me, what can you do? Twenty years have passed since the incident, and I was not found guilty back then. It is even less likely that there is evidence to prove that I set the fire. The place has been dug into a lake! What can your words change? I..."
Before he finished his tirade, there were several regular knocks on the door.
"Hello, is there anyone? Room service."
