After being hit by Kogoro Mouri's "Lion Roar", Conan wiped the saliva from his face with a helpless look and kept silent.
Obviously, what he said was too insignificant, so Kogoro Mouri didn't listen to it seriously at all. So as soon as he refuted the other party's point of view, he was impatiently suppressed by the other party.
However, being denied by Kogoro Mori does not mean that his views are also denied.
At least Tang Ze had the same idea as him.
After all, there are so many important loan contracts behind the painting, which means that this matter should be a confidential event.
As the borrower, Toshio Iwamatsu obviously did not have the relationship or opportunity to know the other party's secret.
The most likely people who know his secret are those around him.
However, further investigation is needed to find out the truth.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze began to check the environment around the scene.
Although he had seen the situation in the room in the video played during the court trial, the view from the video was different from the actual situation on the scene.
Soon, Tang Ze's eyes fell on a wooden cabinet next to the wall where the paintings were hung.
To be precise, it is the surface of the wooden cabinet, where a vase pad is placed. You can clearly see the new circle in the middle of the pad, while the outside is obviously much older due to sun exposure.
The reason why there is a clear boundary between the old and new vase mats is naturally because a vase was placed on the mat before.
"Excuse me, was there a vase placed on this before?" Tang Ze asked Hara Yukie who was standing beside him.
"This... I remember it was the vase that my wife used before..."
At Tang Ze's sudden question, a hint of nervousness appeared on Hara Yukie's aged face. She clasped her right hand in front of her chest and forced a smile, saying, "The vase had always been there, but after the mistress passed away, the master disposed of it."
"Oh? Is that so~"
Seeing the other party's somewhat unnatural expression, Conan held his head in his hands and pretended to be innocent and said, "I thought President Ishigaki accidentally hit the ground and broke it while struggling with the criminal."
"Regarding this, when I was searching the scene for evidence, I didn't find any fragments of the vase."
Conan's original intention was to observe Hara Yukie's reaction, but he didn't expect to get a reply from Kujo Reiko.
When the other person was answering his question, he unconsciously took two steps, blocking his view.
But it doesn’t matter. He is not alone. Tang Ze should have seen Hara Yukie’s reaction after he asked the question.
Thinking of this, Conan glanced at Tang Ze and found that the other party nodded slightly at him, so he knew that his guess was correct.
When Conan made that guess, Tang Ze already understood his plan, and the two of them divided the work tacitly.
At that moment, Tang Ze clearly saw the other person's pupils shrink for a moment, and his facial expression was tense.
It was obvious that what the other party said before were all lies, and even if Conan's guess was not the truth, his attitude of questioning her explanation was enough to make the other party feel guilty.
There is a problem with Hara Yukie.
This was the consensus reached by Tang Ze and Conan after some testing.
Of course, these are just their observations, and it is impossible to get the other party to admit it.
So everything still needs to be considered carefully.
After that, Tang Ze carefully investigated the room again. When he found no other important evidence, he left the Ishigaki family mansion with everyone else.
"Ms. Kobayashi, thanks to your carefulness this time, we were able to discover such important evidence."
Before leaving, Kujo Reiko thanked Kobayashi Sumiko: "Thank you very much."
"No, I just stumbled upon it..."
The continuous thanks had made Kobayashi Sumiko's brain feel a little oxygen-deprived, especially those who praised her. In her eyes, the people were all famous figures who had been praising her continuously since the beginning, making her feel dizzy and it felt very unreal.
Kujo Reiko simply smiled at Kobayashi Sumiko's modesty, then looked at everyone and said, "Then we'll take our leave now. Thank you all for your help this time.
Regarding the case, if there is any follow-up information, please contact us in time. "
"Of course, if Prosecutor Kujo has any findings, don't hide them."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "It seems that there are still many doubts in the entire case. It would be best if we could find the truth. This way, things in court will be much easier."
"Of course." I nodded, and said goodbye to everyone. "Then we'll leave first."
"I have to go too," Kobayashi Sumiko said after checking her watch. "I have to go back and report today's events to the principal."
"Then I'll take you there." Bai Niao volunteered.
Kobayashi Sumiko looked at Shiratori and finally did not refuse. She said goodbye to everyone and Conan and got into Detective Shiratori's car.
"Dad, let's go find Mom."
After saying goodbye to the two, Xiaolan looked at Maori Kogoro and said, "I called my mother before and told her that there was a loan agreement hidden behind the painting.
She should be in prison to meet the defendant right now. We are going to her office now and should be able to run into her mother.
I'd like to ask my mother what she and Iwamatsu Toshio talked about."
Looking at his daughter's hopeful eyes, Kogoro Mouri knew that she liked to talk about the case, but in fact she still wanted to see Eri Kisaki.
