Both are descendants of famous families, and both have extramarital affairs. The same script that happened in the Domon family was also played out step by step in the Ogawa family.
Just like some bloody plots.
Everyone suddenly realized that those involved are confused while bystanders can see things clearly. They were all distracted by the visit to the wife's marriage and missed the key point. Only Conan, who was listening to the story, noticed the clue!
In the story told by Ogawa Seiji, Akutagawa Funa had an affair with Ogawa Yoshio in their early years, and this was when Ogawa Yoshio was married, so there is no need to explain their identity as lovers.
But then again, why was the old woman willing to compromise and let Akutagawa Fuuna work in the Ogawa family?
This is an extraordinary tolerance.
At least after putting himself in the other person's shoes, Makoto Sakaki felt that he couldn't do it.
"Alas, my grandma is such a person..."
There was a hint of helplessness in Ogawa Chengzhi's smile:
"She is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although her marriage to my grandfather was originally arranged by her parents and was determined by the coal burning, the social situation at that time was like that, and people could not choose their choice."
"Anyway, at least my grandma never treated my grandpa badly after she got married...Oh, of course, my grandpa was also very good to her."
"When Akutagawa Fuuna's affair was exposed, my grandmother sent her, who was already pregnant, to the Ogawa family to be a servant. This was also a way of giving her a home. Otherwise, a single mother with a child would probably not have had a smooth life in 1947."
Hearing this, Sakaki Makoto and the others nodded secretly.
To be fair, the old woman could be said to have done her best. She had made the biggest concession by agreeing to let her husband's lover live under the same roof with her, and no one could blame her for anything.
"Why are you telling us this?"
Akai Mary stared at Ogawa Chengzhi and suddenly asked:
"This is your family's secret. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to tell outsiders like us..."
"It's really inappropriate, but this may help you."
Ogawa Chengzhi looked serious:
"Before my grandfather fell down the stairs, he was still in good health and had no problem living on his own. How could he have accidentally fallen?"
"At first I thought it was just an accident. After all, we are old and we are always careless. But what my grandma said in the hospital reminded me."
"If my grandfather was pushed down by someone, then the nature of this incident is different. I hope you can find the culprit, or prove that my grandfather was really careless. Well, I should go over to eat, everyone, enjoy your meal."
After saying that, Ogawa Seiji stood up, sat at the end of the table, and began to enjoy his dinner.
“He’s very smart.”
Akai Mary glanced at his profile and looked at Sakaki Makoto:
"What do you think?"
"To him, or to Akutagawa Fuuna?"
“Both.”
"My answer is the same as yours."
Sakaki Makoto ate the dry barbecue-flavored compressed biscuits and said expressionlessly:
“Both are suspected.”
"Eh? Are you doubting Ogawa Seiji?"
Kidd was surprised and said:
"He is the grandson of Ogawa Yoshio, so he should be the least suspicious person! On the other hand, that Akutagawa Fuuna looks like a subordinate of Karasuma Renya!"
"Where's the evidence?"
"ah?"
"I'm talking about evidence."
Sakaki looked at Kidd and said word by word:
"Only based on Ogawa Chengzhi's one-sided statement, you suspect Akutagawa Fuuna is the murderer. Your subjective opinion is too strong and will affect your judgment."
"In the absence of evidence, what Ogawa Chengzhi said can only be regarded as his confession, not conclusive evidence!"
"Whether detectives or police officers, they are essentially human beings. Being human means having human nature and compassion. Real criminals are often good at playing with people's hearts. Not being deceived by the other party is an essential skill for detectives to be independent."
“That’s right!”
Hattori Heiji nodded heavily and agreed:
"My fox-eyed father also said something similar. Before you have conclusive evidence, do not let down your guard against anyone, and do not deceive yourself out of sympathy!"
"But...but what's the motive?"
Frowning, Kidd asked again:
"Ogawa Seiji has absolutely no motive to kill his grandfather! What good would this do him?"
“Motives are often the most hidden.”
Sakaki Cheng smiled silently:
"Think back to the many cases we have worked on together. Which one did we not collect clues first, find out the criminal's motive through clues, and finally solve the case?"
"For example, if the emperor was poisoned, who would be the most suspicious? It must be the prince! Everyone thinks so, so why can't the prince guess it?"
"Thus, throughout history, it is rare for a prince to poison an emperor. He either rebels to make the final decision, or does his best and leaves the rest to fate!"
The criminal is not a fool. He commits murder without hiding his motives. There is no need for a detective to come forward. The police can solve the case on their own.
Even though the Metropolitan Police Department is made up of a bunch of good-for-nothings, there are more than a dozen murders every day in Kamikama-cho. How many cases really require detectives?
On the contrary, cases that require detectives must not be simple.
Sakaki Makoto did not dispel his suspicion of Ogawa Seiji because of what he said, and the same went for Akutagawa Funa.
"But the biggest suspect right now is Akutagawa Fuuna."
Domon Yasuki looked solemnly at the old man who was eating silently in the corner:
"You think, she came from a commoner family and was not eligible to study abroad, but she received government funding. At that time, Karasuma Renye already had considerable influence in the political world. Would he use this as a bargaining chip to ask Akutagawa Fuuna to work for him?"
“It’s possible…”
Sakaki Makoto rubbed his brows. There were too many suspects in this case. Including the three chefs, Akutagawa Fuuna and his two companions, and Ogawa Seiji... there were a total of 7 suspects!
What is the concept?
Double three choices!
In this way, their decision to turn active into passive is a shortcut.
"hiss...."
At this moment, Hong Shu, who was concentrating on eating compressed biscuits, suddenly shuddered, rubbed his cold hands, looked around, and said with a strange look on his face:
"Don't you feel a little cold?"
“It’s a bit cold…”
Conan quickly put on his coat and said:
"It was quite warm in the restaurant when we came in just now, but now it seems to have cooled down again."
If the room was hot and dry just now, it now feels cold and chilly, just like the temperature suddenly drops after the last rain in autumn when cold air arrives.
"It's strange, look at Mr. Ogawa Yoshio, he's only wearing a sweater, but he doesn't feel cold at all, and his face is even sweating!"
Kid pointed at Yoshio Ogawa and shouted.
