For Fang Zheng and Conan, there are still many mysteries that have not been solved in the Rokkenjima incident.
The first question is, does Beatrice really exist?
The clues so far prove...it is very likely that this person really exists.
Because there is indeed a annex on Rokukenjima, but Conan also said that it looks like no one has lived in that annex for more than ten years.
So thinking about it the other way around, this also means that someone was living in that villa ten years ago.
The question is, who was living in that villa at that time?
There is also a second suspicious point, that is... Sayo Yasuda.
Fang Zheng had never seen this person on the list.
But Conan gave the answer this time.
"I asked Mr. Joji and he said Sayo is Saon's real name and Saon was the name she used when she was a maid."
"So, Sayo Yasuda is actually Saon?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and began to think.
"So if that's the case, who is Jia Yin?"
"Mr. Joji said he was Saon's brother..."
"Impossible, there is no such person on the island's list."
Fang Zheng shook his head.
"Now the mystery of Sayo Yasuda has been solved. Even if the servants didn't use their real names, the numbers don't match. According to the investigation results on the list, apart from the Ushiromiya family, the remaining five people on Rokukenjima are Genji Ryuue, Sayo Yasuda, Grandma Kumazawa, Chef Gota, and Doctor Nanjo."
Having said that, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"Now that the mystery of Sayo Yasuda has been solved, the remaining question is... who is Kanon?"
"this……"
"He couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere. I asked the gallery owner, and Jiayin has been here for a long time, which means he's not a character that suddenly showed up to commit murder."
"Doesn't Lou Zuo know Jia Yin's true identity?"
"Maybe she doesn't care. After all, the servants on the island are all appointed by Jin Zang, and other people are not interested in taking care of these things. Strictly speaking, asking Jin Zang is the best way, but..."
"He is dead."
Conan was also helpless. Although Kinzo was still locked in the study in this game, after last week's game, the two knew that Kinzo was dead, and most likely died before they came to Rokkenjima.
but……
"Speaking of which, I remembered something very interesting."
"What's up?"
"In last week's game, if I think about it, we never saw both Saon and Kaon appear in front of us at the same time."
"Why?"
Conan was stunned for a moment when he heard Fang Zheng's words.
“No…?”
"That's right."
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"You see, when we first arrived on the island, we saw Jiayin working in the garden at the gate, but we saw Shayin when we entered the guest house to put down our luggage and rest."
"When we went to the beach for a picnic, Sayon went with us."
At this time, with Fang Zheng's reminder, Conan gradually reacted.
"However, the rest of us were discussing the issue of inheritance distribution in the room at that time, and no one saw Jiayin either."
"The next time we saw Jiayin was when he informed us to go to dinner."
"But Saion didn't show up at that time."
"Then after dinner, everyone returned to the guest house, and at this time we were with Sain, but we didn't see Jiayin..."
"The next day, after Saion died, Jiayin appeared in front of us throughout the whole process."
At this point, Conan's eyes lit up, but soon he discovered another suspicious point.
"Wait, so what you're saying is that Saon and Kanon are the same person?"
"Is this weird? Think about Mermaid Island. There are so many bullshit like this on that island."
Fang Zheng seemed very calm.
"But there is another problem. If they are the same person and they deliberately faked their death, then it means they are related to the real murderer. But didn't Jiayin die from a spike piercing her chest the next night?"
"But we didn't actually witness Jia Yin's last breath."
Fang Zheng reminded.
"You have to remember that it was Dr. Nanjo who was in charge of bandaging Jiayin's wounds, and Zhu Zhixiang went with him. Later, we learned about Jiayin's death from Zhu Zhixiang and Dr. Nanjo, and we didn't see the body with our own eyes. In short... we should change the direction of the investigation."
"Investigation direction?"
"That's right."
Fang Zheng nodded.
"Before, we have been focusing on the Ushiromiya family, but now it seems that Yasuda Sayo herself is the biggest suspect. However, the people of Ushiromiya definitely don't know much about Yasuda Sayo. Perhaps Zhu Zhixiang knows more, but other people only come to this island to gather once a year, and they certainly won't care about the situation of the servants on this island. Therefore, the best way is to start the investigation from the people who live on this island... That is, Mr. Genji, Dr. Nanjo and Granny Kumazawa. They have been on this island the longest, and if there are any secrets, they will definitely not be hidden from them. Maybe they need to help hide certain secrets in turn..."
"I see."
Conan immediately knew what to do.
"Leave this to me."
"I'll leave it to you. Anyway, your ability to play dumb has always been first-rate."
"Who are you calling a fool...wait a minute."
At this moment, Conan suddenly remembered something.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, if Saion and Jiayin are the same person... do you remember? Last week we found out that Mr. Renzhi likes Saion, and Zhu Zhixiang likes Jiayin..."
"It's for both men and women, or brothers and sisters."
Fang Zheng silently gave a thumbs up.
“He’s a fun guy.”
Next, the story continued as before. After dinner, Maria took out the faith given to her by Beatrice, and everyone started arguing again.
"It is absolutely impossible that the old man would give up his ring!"
Ushiromiya Kurasu said loudly, and Ushiromiya Ewa also started thinking.
"If we interpret it literally, this is a test given to us by the old man."
"Wait... Normally, this isn't how it should be understood."
After hearing everyone's discussion, Fang Zheng was speechless. In the last round, he was just observing, but this time Fang Zheng decided to intervene directly.
"From what you said, if the ring has always been with Mr. Kinzo and it is impossible for it to leave, then logically speaking, shouldn't someone have attacked Mr. Kinzo, snatched the ring, and then left this letter behind?"
“…”
Everyone was stunned when they heard Fang Zheng's reminder. Then they all stood up and ran towards the study.
A bunch of idiots?
Looking at the figures of the people walking away, Fang Zheng shook his head speechlessly. Generally speaking, according to normal people's understanding, shouldn't it be like this?
So, is Ushiromiya Kinzo still alive?
This question will soon be answered.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
"Father, Father, please open the door!!"
When Fang Zheng arrived at the door of the study, he saw Ushiromiya Kurasuki knocking hard on the door, but of course there was no response from inside.
"Hurry up and open the door. What if father is really attacked by someone?"
At this time, Huiyu also spoke, and in response to Huiyu's suggestion, everyone else nodded. Only Fangzheng noticed that Ushiromiya Kurasu's expression was a little hesitant, but he finally took out the key and opened the door.
“Father!!”
As the door opened, everyone rushed into the study impatiently, however - there was no one inside.
After that, everyone searched the whole villa inside and out, but still couldn't find Ushiromiya Kinzo. In the end, everyone had no choice but to return to the room to gather. As expected, as Fang Zheng expected, soon, others began to question Ushiromiya Zangju and Ushiromiya Natsuki, wondering if they killed their father and then pretended that his father was still alive. The two of them naturally denied it firmly and refused to give in.
"We didn't kill our father, and even if we did, what's the point of writing this letter?"
“Maybe for the inheritance?”
Fang Zheng yawned and looked at the two of them again.
"After all, this is just a letter, and the handwriting is not from Kinzo. Legally, this kind of thing cannot be used as a will. Even if it is true that the person who finds the gold is the head of the family according to what is written here, as long as it goes to court, without the notarization and statement of Kinzo Ushiromiya, this letter will have no legal effect. And according to the law, as the eldest son, Kinzo Usu has the priority right of inheritance."
“That’s right.”
Hearing this, Ushiromiya Kurasu also nodded.
"So, why would I do this?!"
"But that's only if my elder brother has the inheritance rights."
At this time, Ushiromiya Ewa also spoke.
"If father had made another will and let someone else inherit the Ushiromiya family, it would have been very disadvantageous to my eldest brother. So in order to avoid this situation, my eldest brother killed my father and destroyed the will. He wrote this letter disguised as a witch of gold. In this way, as long as my eldest brother finds the gold, the rest of us will have no choice but to recognize my eldest brother's right of inheritance..."
"You are talking complete nonsense!"
At this time, Concubine Xia also stood up angrily.
"Zangju would never do such a thing!"
"Then let's search your room. If you're not the murderer of Dad, there won't be anything strange in there."
"How could you do this!?"
At this moment, Xia Fei's face was already pale, and Ushiromiya Ewa glared at her tit for tat.
"Of course we can. Listen carefully, we are from the Ushiromiya family, and you are just a machine that makes babies. You are not even allowed to carve the One-Winged Eagle. You have no right to tell us what to do!!"
“You…you…”
Faced with Huiyu's remarks, Xia Fei was shaking with anger. At this time, Liu Fufu also stood up and looked at Zangju.
"That's true, big brother. Dad is missing now, and you've been taking care of him, but you don't even know where he is... We're wondering if you've done something you shouldn't have done... Do you mind if we go to your room and take a look?"
“…”
Zang Ju's face turned pale at this moment, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded.
However, in Ushiromiya Kurasu's room, everyone found a gold brick as expected.
“Here’s the evidence!”
Ushiromiya Ewa pointed at the gold ornament and glared at Kurasu angrily.
"So it turned out that you, Big Brother, killed our father and wrote that inexplicable letter! As long as you take out this gold brick and show that you found it yourself, no one will be able to oppose your inheritance rights!"
"no!"
Faced with the angry questioning of the crowd, Zang Ju was also panicked.
"This is indeed my father's gold, but it was the gold that my father sold that I recycled. I was just like you before, I didn't know whether the gold that my father talked about actually existed, so I deliberately got through some connections and used my connections to recycle a piece of gold brick that my father sold..."
"Do you think we will believe this kind of nonsense?"
Leufov also spoke at this time.
"No matter what you say, among all of us brothers and sisters, you are the only ones who have been living on Rokukenjima, so it must be you who killed Dad and stole his gold... No matter what you say, it's useless. Save it for the police to explain!!"
"No, it's really not like that!!"
At this time Zangju also roared, but finally he made up his mind and sighed.
"Okay, I admit that my father has been dead for a while, but I really didn't kill him. My father died of a heart attack... It's true, Dr. Nanjo and Genji can prove it!! But later, in order to confirm the inheritance rights, I talked to them privately and asked them to keep this secret for me for the time being..."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Very good, it seems that one of the questions has been solved.
