"No need~" Tomizawa Taichi looked dejected, as if he had completely lost confidence: "I confess, I killed my father!"
"elder brother!"
"Big brother!"
Tomizawa Tatsuji and Tomizawa Yuzo never expected that their eldest brother wouldn't even last a single round. Seeing that he was about to confess, the two of them panicked. If their eldest brother confessed, then they would be accomplices, or at least perjury and harboring criminals.
"Tatsuji, Yuzo, stop talking—" Tomizawa Taichi laughed eerily: "Since you two participated in my plan, then you should also share the consequences of its failure. That's fair!"
"But why?" Sonoko asked, puzzled. "Why would they join forces to kill their own father?"
"What else could it be?" Xia Ye glanced at the three Fu Ze brothers, who were honestly confessing their crimes, and sneered:
"The eldest brother is obsessed with writing novels and doesn't want to inherit the company; the second brother's girlfriend is disliked by his father; and the third brother's painting is not recognized. He wants to resolve all these conflicts—Chairman Tomizawa is gone, the three brothers divide the inheritance, and then go live the lives they want. That's the best solution!"
The Tomizawa brothers are being interrogated.
Ayako walked over.
"Ayako!"
Tomizawa Yuzo's eyes hesitated; he didn't know—
"The engagement is null and void!"
"You take care of yourself!"
After saying that, Ayako ignored his reaction and left.
Until death.
This case is basically closed.
The Tomizawa brothers have confessed.
There's not much else to say; that's a matter for the police.
On the way back to the Suzuki family villa.
Conan frowned and asked, "Brother Xia Ye, you haven't summarized the murderer's methods yet!"
"I'm not some pretentious detective~" Xia Ye said mercilessly in front of the two detectives:
"As long as concrete evidence is found to bring the murderer to justice, the methods used don't matter."
"You boy!"
Kogoro Mouri wanted to refute, but then he felt that Natsume's words made a lot of sense, so he could only sigh and say:
"These three brothers are so ruthless in their pursuit of freedom and inheritance. I guess I'll have to be nicer to Xiaolan from now on!"
"father!"
Xiao Lan punched her father in the lower back, making him wince in pain.
"I don't want any of your inheritance!"
"Uncle Mori, you should think of it this way: if you spend all your money quickly, you won't have to worry about the inheritance."
Xia Ye smiled and said:
"As for Xiaolan, I'll take care of her from now on, so you don't need to worry about her, right?"
"That makes sense!"
Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin, then waved his hand:
"Let's have French food tonight!"
Xiaolan rolled her eyes cutely.
I'm too lazy to care about Dad anymore.
Anyway, she really doesn't need any inheritance.
Let Dad spend money if he wants to; it doesn't matter if he runs out of money.
At worst, let him go eat dirt.
My mom and I can help him out a little, so he won't starve!
Return to the villa.
The desolate atmosphere next door has no effect here.
The downfall of her fiancé's family had no effect on Ayako.
At noon, she and Ran cooked a table full of dishes to entertain Uncle Mori and Conan.
This is also a way to say goodbye to Xia Ye and Xiao Lan Yuanzi.
Uncle Mori and Conan's "Mysterious Trip to Izu" is about to begin, and they've received a call telling them to return to the hotel.
Ran wants to meet her idol, Satoshi Maeda, and wants to go with him, so Natsume and Sonoko accompany her.
Just after this matter was over.
The three of them can find a place for a date!
Chapter 285 The Mysterious Journey to Izu Begins
In Ayako's boudoir.
Natsume put her arm around Ayako's waist, her eyes filled with apology, and said, "I'm sorry, Ayako, I should have stayed with you for two more days~"
Ayako tiptoed and gave him a light peck on the cheek, her voice gentle: "It's okay, we'll have plenty of time later—"
Her beautiful eyes darted around, and she said mischievously, "Besides, Ran and Sonoko are waiting eagerly, I can't possibly have you all to myself for too long~"
"Those two girls—"
Xia Ye shook her head helplessly: "You wear your heart on your sleeve, do you think I don't know?"
"You're really getting the benefit and then acting innocent!"
Ayako gave him a playful glare and said coquettishly, "I overheard some of their plans. Humph, you rascal, you're really lucky with women. Sonoko is one thing, but even a pure girl like Ran is willing to do such outrageous things for you!"
"What do you mean, Sonoko? She's your own sister!" Xia Ye spoke up for Sonoko, then asked with a curious expression, "By the way, what's Sonoko and Ran's plan? What's this ridiculous thing they're doing?"
I only heard a few sentences—
"Besides, if you tell me, there won't be any surprises~"
Ayako's eyes crinkled with amusement: "As for what they're planning, just wait and see. It's going to be very exciting!"
"Okay~" Xia Ye didn't press further. It's nice to have some unexpected surprises in life.
He tightened his grip on Ayako's waist and smiled slightly: "Ayako, your fiancé is gone, doesn't that affect you at all?"
"Heh, they were just randomly selected anyway, how could it affect me?"
Ayako tiptoed closer to him as he embraced her, feeling the warmth from his chest. She gave him a charmingly playful eye roll and said, "But you, are you feeling a little disappointed? Should I tell Mom to find me another fiancé to satisfy your strange fetish?"
"Cough cough!"
"no need!"
Xia Ye felt like every woman in the family knew he was Cao Cao himself. The news spread way too fast! Who leaked it?!
"Giggle~"
Ayako wrapped her slender arms around Natsume's neck, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of mischief: "Then let's do it this way. If you want to play any weird games, go find Yukiko and Eri-nee. Especially Yukiko, she'll definitely be very cooperative!"
"And what about your partner?" Xia Ye asked with a mischievous smile.
"Pah!" Ayako blushed and raised her eyes, scolding, "I knew you were a bad guy, a pervert!"
"How about this then—"
Xia Ye whispered a few more words in Ayako's ear, and then—Ayako's earlobes turned a crystalline pink.
"..." Ayako clenched her fist and punched him hard in the chest, her eyes alluring as she gritted her teeth and said:
"As long as she agrees, I have no objection."
"The garden is the same!"
"Then I'll look forward to it!" Xia Ye smiled broadly, looking at Lingzi's beautiful, watery eyes, and slowly lowered her head.
"Uncle Mori and Ran are waiting downstairs to leave—" Ayako dodged the hot breath, a little worried about being late.
"Isn't this better?"
"Fine, whatever you want~" Ayako gave up struggling.
...
Inside a luxurious, extended Lincoln limousine.
Without any hesitation, Kogoro Mouri grabbed a glass of red wine from the nearby wine cabinet, estimated to be worth at least a million yen, poured himself a swig, and exclaimed, "As expected of the Suzuki Group, luxury cars and fine wine, what a treat! If only there were a few beautiful women—"
"father!"
Xiao Lan, who was sitting opposite him, glared at him.
Although I have a good relationship with Sonoko and we are sisters in every sense of the word, Dad doesn't have to be so formal!
"It's okay, Ran~" Sonoko waved her hand, looked at Kogoro Mouri, and said cheerfully:
"With Conan around, there's no chance for pretty girls, but there's plenty of alcohol, Uncle, please drink as much as you like~"
"Haha, Sonoko, you're really generous! Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Kogoro Mouri, true to form, didn't hold back and started drinking the expensive red wine like it was beer.
"Yuanzi!" Xiaolan scolded her best friend. Her father was already irresponsible, and now that he could drink expensive wine to his heart's content, he would definitely spend money to buy more, which might bankrupt the family!
"Oh dear~" Sonoko said, pulling Ran's hand.
"Xiao Lan, don't worry so much. The most important thing when you're out having fun is to be happy. Why worry about so much?"
"Sonoko is right~"
Xia Ye chuckled and pinched Xiao Lan's cheek. "Let Uncle Mori drink to his heart's content. It's too pitiful for him to be bossed around while we're out having fun!"
"Hmph! I don't care anymore!"
Xiao Lan pouted, tightened her grip on Xia Ye's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and whimpered softly:
"Just pretend I don't exist!"
"This girl~"
Kogoro Mouri looked at his daughter.
This girl used to avoid me a bit and didn't have much close contact with Xia Ye.
Now they don't even try to avoid it anymore, doing such intimate things right in front of him, and even acting cute towards him!
hateful--
Picking up the bottle, he decided to channel his bitterness into alcohol, getting himself drunk first so he wouldn't have to experience the feeling of his daughter being taken away by another man!
Xiao Lan couldn't be bothered to care about her father's feelings.
The limousine's interior featured two rows of leather sofas and a long bar in the middle. Sonoko and Ran sat on either side of Natsume, chattering away about various topics. Kogoro Mouri and Conan were left standing to the side, exchanging a glance and simultaneously sighing.
.......
Izu Resort Hotel.
As a tourist destination.
The hotels that entertain guests are also extremely luxurious.
Xia Ye has been to Izu several times, but has never stayed at this hotel before. This time, she naturally wants to experience it properly. After all, she always stays at her own resort and seaside villa, and she needs to change things up once in a while!
hotel lobby.
Kogoro Mouri stared at the front desk in shock: "What? You only paid half the hotel bill? How could this be?"
After confirming several times, he pulled Conan aside and asked, "Hey kid, what's going on? Didn't you say Professor Agasa invited us on a trip?"
"Uncle, let me ask!" Conan didn't actually know the specifics. Professor Agasa had only said that he had signed up for a tour called "The Mysterious Journey to Izu," but suddenly ran out of time, so he asked Conan and his uncle to come in his place.
After calling Professor Agasa.
