Chapter 111 Confirmed
Bai Ma Tan did not leave with them. He found Dong Yexi and asked him for the answer.
Higashino Xi looked at him mysteriously and said, "Conan hasn't solved it either. This game is effective in the long run, go back and think about it." In fact, he didn't know the answer either, so he could only fool the two detectives in this way.
Edogawa Conan, standing by, said with an unwavering expression, "I went to bed early last night, and something unexpected happened today, so I don't have time to solve it. Just wait, I'll be able to solve it soon after I get back."
Dong Yexi smiled and said, "Then you should do your best!"
After learning the case had been solved, Hatori Yuiichi came to see Higashino Hiroshi. Seeing the man standing outside the villa, his eyes flickered. Why was that man here? Wasn't he in China before?
He dodged Mulantan's gaze and waited until everyone left before walking up to Dong Yexi. He asked casually, "Are those suspects?"
Dong Yexi nodded.
Before Hatori Yuiichi could continue asking, his second uncle came over.
He was dejected and looked a little lost.
His friends comforted him: "Don't be sad. A woman with a vicious heart like that is not worth your tears."
The second uncle argued: "I didn't cry."
Kiyazaki chuckled: "But you must have wanted to help her mourn before."
Second Uncle had a deflated expression on his face. It was over. This matter was on his criminal record. He could already foresee that every time he saw his friends, they would use this incident to ridicule him.
Forget it, from now on, he will keep his heart sealed and not pursue true love anymore.
The wedding couldn't go ahead, but my uncle decided not to cancel the luncheon he'd already arranged. He'd just treat it as a get-together for friends.
So, except for Toshio Odagiri and others who left early, everyone else enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.
Bai Ma Tan thought to himself: The uncles have lost out this time.
Yui Hatori confirmed Mulantan's identity at the luncheon. However, judging by her state, she didn't seem to be carrying out a mission, but just socializing normally. He leaned close to Higashino's ear and asked, "When did Dr. Yushan come to your house?"
Dong Yexi raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't I get my leg injured in the gymnasium explosion? Not long after you left, she came to my house to check me up and also helped check my eldest brother's body."
Hatori Yui nodded slightly, then lowered his head and continued eating, as if it was just a casual question.
But Dong Yexi remembered his hidden identity and wondered: If he asked me this, did it mean that he knew Yushan Ayana? In other words, she was also a member of the organization? Could she be Mulantan?
Higashino Xi absentmindedly took a sip of orange juice, glancing at Ayana Yuyama not far away. She was a professional female elite who looked perfectly normal.
How many members of the Black Organization have infiltrated this family? Could it be that they've become a sieve?
However, he also discovered the only other use for Hatori.
Hatori Yui didn't hide her emotions in front of him, so he could easily discern his true intentions. Perhaps he could use this method to identify more members of the organization. It was, after all, an alternative way of gaining intelligence.
Dong Yexi smiled self-deprecatingly.
After eating and drinking, the guests left on the cruise ship one after another. Before leaving, Chris Wynyard even said hello to her second uncle and urged him to mourn.
Second Uncle could only smile awkwardly and send her on board.
After Dong Yexi knew she was Aunt Sharon, he couldn't look at her anymore. Every time he saw her, he would remember the day he was deceived and cried.
Then he glared at Hatori Yuiichi in anger.
Hatori Yui:?
Higashino Hijire thought about the flirtations between Hatori Yuiichi and Kudo Shinichi, and wondered if there was some secret between them. He turned his attention to Edogawa Conan and thought: Could this guy have already known his identity?
If Edogawa Conan knew Hatori Yui's identity and was willing to let him live with the Mori family, it at least shows that in his heart, Hatori Yui was harmless. They may have reached some kind of agreement between them.
With this guess, Higashino Xi felt a little relieved. Standing on Edogawa Conan's side, he could at least ask for leniency, right?
Shortly after the guests departed the resort, the media learned of Dong Yelang's fiancée's sudden death. Adhering to the principle of not being too shocked themselves, they reported extensively, shocking a large number of netizens. With no context, speculation abounded online. However, netizens, as fleeting as they are, quickly forgot about the incident, only to bring it up again the next time Dong Yelang was involved in a scandal.
Dong Yelang: It really has a criminal record...
The advantage of being a frequent tabloid presence is that it saves money on crisis PR. Since his image is like that anyway, netizens will automatically find excuses for him, eliminating the need to waste time explaining himself.
However, this will happen in a few months, and my uncle is not in the mood for love right now. I guess he will be aloof from desire for a while.
In response, the fourth uncle said: "You are just too idle. Come with me to the company for a while, and there won't be so many messy people coming to the door."
My second uncle said firmly, "I've never worked a single day in my life. I'll never go to work in my life!"
Fourth Uncle snorted coldly: "That's not up to you."
The third aunt agreed, "I approve. Keep him at his workstation and don't let him go out."
The second uncle was shocked and said, "You haven't worked before, why do you want to arrange for me to go? I won't go!"
But his friends all agreed that it was a good idea. Once he experienced the hardships of working and saw the dangers of the workplace, he probably wouldn't be so easily deceived.
Dongye·Playboy·Lang: It was just a car accident, how can he be easily deceived? To be honest, he has seen so many women, he is already a veteran.
Everyone: Then why did you get cheated? Don't tell me you want a family now that you're middle-aged!
Dong Yelang:_(:з」∠)_
He couldn't resist so many people alone, so it was decided that he would go to work for Lao Si.
In this regard, Dong Yexu expressed doubts: Why don’t you go to work at Dongye Group?
Fourth uncle sneered: Does my brother need the protection of a junior like you?
Dong Yexu: ...
When Rum learned about the unexpected incident at Dong Yelang's wedding, he felt much better. He and Bourbon had the same idea: they could arrange for someone to take advantage of the situation.
Since Higashino Lang likes that kind of thing, he asked someone to disguise their personality to look like Shirami Mae.
Mulantan, who hadn't fully informed him of the incident, said: "...This has nothing to do with me. I wanted to say it, but he didn't want to hear it."
Vermouth & Bourbon, who did not witness the crime scene with their own eyes: That’s none of our business.
So, the people sent by Rum were defeated again.
A few days later, Higashino Hi received a gift box. When it arrived, he thought it was from Hatori Yui. But when he looked at the sender, he realized it was a name he didn't recognize.
After signing for it, Dong Yexi gently shook the gift box. It seemed light inside. He carefully opened the box and saw a bouquet of cherry blossoms. At this time of year, the cherry blossoms had already faded, so this was a bouquet of dried flowers. There was also a small note inside with an address on it.
Dong Yexi checked the address and found that it was a bookstore and cafe.
He frowned slightly. Who sent it?
He put the card and flowers back in the box and decided to check it out again when he had some free time.
When he put the box away, he noticed the small iron box next to it.
Several days had passed, and neither detective had been able to solve the mystery. So, how difficult was this code of my mother's?
Dong Yexi expressed his confusion about this.
Actually, he misunderstood. Edogawa Conan and Hakuba Senpai weren't that stupid; the code he gave them was too short, and they couldn't find a reference, so the difficulty of solving the problem increased dramatically. The line he gave them wasn't a complete sentence; it was simply cut in the middle. If he had given them a longer line, they would have been able to solve it.
This blunder made the two detectives very depressed. Until Higashino Hiroshi knew the answer to the mystery, they would probably be depressed forever.
On the resort island, Higashino originally wanted to talk to Auntie Eri, but a series of accidents happened, which meant they had no time to sit down and talk properly. Auntie Eri was also busy handling cases after returning home, and only had time today to ask him out for a meeting.
After changing his clothes, Higashino Hi asked the driver to take him downstairs to the law firm of Eri's aunt.
Midori Kuriyama knew that the teacher had a guest coming today, but she didn't know it was such a young and handsome boy. She kept looking back while leading the way.
Dong Yexi was a little amused and helpless.
Kuriyama Midori brought the person to Kisaki Eri's office and left. When she closed the door, she heard the handsome boy call out "Auntie". She was a little surprised. She had never heard that the teacher had a nephew?
Dong Yexi handed her the gift he brought. Fei Yingli gave him a look of reproach: "You brought these things to visit your aunt. Isn't it too polite?"
Dong Yexi smiled and said, "Don't be shy. I heard from Xiaolan that you like this brand of chocolate. I happened to have some at home, so I brought it to you. I didn't buy it specially."
Only then did Kisaki Eri take the bag. She glanced at her watch and said, "It's time for lunch. Auntie, would you like me to treat you to lunch? There's a Western restaurant nearby that serves very good food."
Dong Yexi said with a grin, "That's great, I can have a good meal."
Kisaki Eri took him away and told Kuriyama Midori in advance to call her if anyone looked for her.
Kuriyama Midori watched the two of them leave talking and laughing, and thought: The teacher and this nephew seem to have a good relationship.
Moving to the Western restaurant, Higashino Xi ordered what he wanted to eat without hesitation. Kissing Eri looked at him with satisfaction and even wanted him to order more.
Dong Yexi said: "This is enough, I really can't eat it all."
Only then did Kisaki Eri put away the menu and signaled the waiter to serve the food.
While waiting for the food, the two talked about Dong Yexi's mother.
Kisaki Eri said nostalgically, "Your mother also likes to eat pasta with tomato sauce, cheese and smoked sausage pizza, and French fries. And whenever we go out to eat Western food, no matter where we go, French fries are a must." As she said this, she laughed.
Dong Yexi hadn't expected such a coincidence. He agreed, "Then I'll just follow her taste. The diagnosis is complete; he's my biological son."
Hibiki almost laughed to tears: "Your personality is exactly the same as hers." Her eyes were full of love, "If your mother could see how good you have grown up, she would definitely be very happy."
Dong Yexi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile: "She must have seen it!"
