Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Then I decided to read the show of affection...
229
The child of the man who made his mother suffer... This statement is actually not accurate. Milo Moriarty himself was not a child who grew up in love. His mother's fantasy could never be awakened, so she cursed everything and hated Elliot Moriarty on her own.
But in reality, Elliot and his mother had only met a few times.
There was a reason why Kamohashi didn't let Isshiki Totomaru come over. This was indeed a family affair of their M family.
Of course, Milo knew that his mother was a foolish woman immersed in fantasy. Alice, who was killed by him, should also know this. But why did it sound so unpleasant when Kamohashi said this?
"You don't look very happy, Milo." Kamohashi Ron seemed to notice something. "Does it bother you that much? What I just said."
"It's more like I don't mind at all," Milo said. "I don't know how you found out, but don't think I'll relent just because you tell me that. I won't cooperate with you. Just give up."
"You seem to have misunderstood something," Kamonohashi Ron said. "I'm not here to discuss cooperation, but to persuade you to surrender."
Milo: “…”
Winter: "You think too simply. Kamonohashi theory, the children of the M family have been..." since birth.
"Hasn't someone already broken that blood curse?" Kamohashi Ron said. "Don't act like I'm related to Sherlock Holmes. You should know I'm not talking about myself."
"Rather, it's because of that knowledge that it's surprising, you mean Elliot?" Milo said. "But that's just an exception. Most Moriartys are engaged in criminal work, and I don't intend to break that."
Winter fell into a brief silence.
Then, after a moment, Winter suddenly spoke up: "I don't believe you, Kamonohashi."
"Really?" Kamohashi Ron shook his head. "You know, normally, ordinary people would trust me more. Winter, what you said is really against common sense."
"After all, I'm a criminal, so it's normal for me to say things that go against common sense." Winter said this without any hesitation. "So, what do you want to know?"
“Winter…!”
"What I want to ask is very simple and does not involve your secrets. As for the so-called decisive battle, we will talk about it next time." Kamohashi Ron sighed, "After all, Milo, you lost from the beginning."
"Lost?"
"I've already gotten the information about my illness through someone," Kamohashi Ron said. "I just have one question: Milo, why did you insist on having me and Toto board this cruise ship?"
"Is there any need to ask? Kamo no Hashira?" Milo finally remembered to take care of his shot arm. "Of course..."
"You want me to kill someone I cherish with my own hands, huh?" Kamohashi Rin asked, "I'm not asking why you let me board the cruise ship with Toto, but why you wanted me to board this cruise ship in particular."

Not long after the incident at the Plateau Hotel, Milo received a letter, and in that letter, the incident of the Exotic Dolphin was mentioned. Because he cared too much about the letter, it suddenly reminded him of his sister Alice, whom he had killed with his own hands. One reason was that he wanted to have a decisive battle with Kamohashi Ron, and the other was that he also wanted to investigate this matter, so he and Winter boarded the cruise ship at the same time.
However, it now seems that he was forced into a desperate situation by Kamohashi Ron, and he has not found any clues about Alice's affairs.
It's like an endless nightmare.
"So that's how it is." Kamohashi Ron began to think, "So, the so-called youngest child of the M family seemed to have been killed by Milo, but maybe he wasn't? If I'm not mistaken, killing an important person with his own hands was something like Milo's coming-of-age rite of passage?"
Milo: "From that day on there was no turning back."
"I think you're mistaken. If he simply 'killed' Alice and didn't commit any crimes afterwards, there might be room for redemption," Kamonohashi said. "Doesn't that letter clearly prove that Alice is not dead?"
"I don't believe that," Milo retorted.
Winter: “…”
"The Plateau Hotel, did it all start back then?" Kamohashi Ron began to ponder. "Perhaps that's why he immediately intervened in the cruise ship incident. If my brother completes his revenge, there'll be no chance... or something like that."
Winter looked at Kamonohashi Ron with a bit of surprise: "From what you said, it seems like you are sure that Alice is alive."
"It's simple. According to the time you described, I saw her again after that, when I was still quite young," Kamonohashi Ron said. "She made a declaration of revenge that left me completely bewildered. At that time, my father was still faking his own death, leaving me completely bewildered. I went back to ask my mother if our family had any enemies... but she said there were too many enemies in our family, so which one should I ask?"
Milo: “…”
Winter: “…”
"I should have brought Toto along earlier. It's so boring without anyone complaining." Kamohashi Ron continued, "But if it was Alice herself, then she must have been represented by someone else. Otherwise, how would she know everything that happened on the cruise ship? I don't remember asking Finn-sensei to come on board."
"What Finn said has something to do with us." Milo tried to set a trap for Kamohashi Ron here. Although their M family's undercover agent is Sagi, Blue should not know about it.
"Look, I called Robin and Elmer here. Miss Dolphin has a mission with the CIA." Kamonohashi replied. He was setting a trap for him, wasn't he? Did he think he couldn't hear it? It was not like he didn't know who the undercover agent arranged by the M family was.
"So... if Alice has an agent, then there's only one candidate, someone no one expected." Winter looked at the waiter over there. "It seems that even the motive for the poisoning was explained clearly, in order to cause confusion."
"But that's not right," Milo said. "If it were a Moriarty, he would absolutely not care about the victim's life. He would just turn it into a murder case."
"Your premise is that the poison wasn't swapped," Kamohashi Ron said, "but a Robin passed by there."
Milo seemed to have figured something out. He decisively picked up the gun and pointed it at his solar plexus: "As expected... I lost."
Winter: "Milo!"
"Just think of it as Alice's sake and put aside the idea of suicide for the time being." Kamohashi Ron sighed, "After all, you still have feelings for Alice and want to know what happened, right?"
Milo fell silent for a long time.

"Things on that cruise ship ended in a complete mess, and it left Lun and me with many questions," Isshiki Totsumaru said. "The only thing that was solved on the cruise ship was that inexplicable poisoning case. Lun learned the murderer and his motive, and the reason no one died was because the poison was switched by Lawyer Robin... let's just call him Lawyer Robin for now."
"What a fascinating case!" The reporter in front of him looked quite shocked. "Please tell me more, Officer Isshiki. This is a case within a case. It sounds very impressive. But why didn't Lawyer Robin just switch to a non-toxic one?"
"Because Lawyer Robin also wants to know the murderer's motive." Isshiki Dudumaru said with a smile, "And I feel like there are a lot of questions that haven't been answered. For example, what exactly was Miss Dolphin doing on the ship?"
"I think this is a minor issue, right? By the way, what about Mr. Kamo no Hashiro? How is he doing now?" the reporter asked. "I heard that he started having surgery after getting off the cruise ship to cure his strange illness."
"Actually, there's no problem at all, Miss Menji." A waiter brought a cup of coffee. "This is the ultimate, rich, sweet coffee with lots of black honey. Consider it a gift from me. I look forward to you trying it."
"Hey hey hey! Lun!" Isshiki Totumaru was a little shocked. "Aren't you having surgery at Dr. Uesaki Moefu's? Why did you suddenly appear in the cafe?!"
"My name is Chazao Kamokyuu, and the pronunciation has nothing to do with lun," Kamonohashi Lun said rather wistfully. "I wonder which idiotic emotional anchor wanted to surprise his roommate after surgery, but when he opened the door, he found only his cat, sound asleep. Where on earth did his roommate go...and in the end, he's here drinking coffee with a pretty reporter."
"Sorry!" Chieri Monji said, "I'm just here for an interview. After all, I'm a reporter investigating social cases and have no intention of getting involved in Officer Isshiki's relationship with you!"
Isshiki Totomaru: "Why do you make it seem like Lun and I are a couple? And Lun, you're so scary."
Kamohashi Ron: "Because the owner of this restaurant originally allowed me to work as a waiter here."
“Aren’t you an emotional anchor?”
“So that’s why.”
"It's too famous!"

"In the end, I still felt like there were a lot of things that weren't resolved," Isshiki Totomaru said. "After the cruise, a lot of things you and I talked about were very concerning to me."
"It's normal to be concerned. There are a lot of things that haven't been resolved." Kamonohashi Ron said, "Well... Of course, I will tell you everything I kept from you before boarding the cruise ship. But before that, I think I have an important job to do."
"You mean the emotional live broadcast?" Isshiki Todumaru said, "After all, it seems that quite a few viewers are waiting for you to start the broadcast."
"And I still have four agreed-to scripts to read. By the way, Dudu, which one do you want to hear?" Kamonohashi asked. "Just to be clear, I don't want to hear the one about the affectionate couple."
"Then just don't take it out! Then I've decided to read the one about showing affection!"
