2244 [Case closed]
"Uzo" looked at Suzuki Sonoko and nodded approvingly:
"Mr. Akashi went to the tennis court in the heavy rain in order to find an eyewitness like Miss Judy, so as to obtain the testimony that the deceased committed suicide by hanging.
"Otherwise, if I carry out this plan alone, then when the police arrive, what they will see is an ordinary hanging scene. Not only will this method be ineffective, but the marks on the wrists of the deceased will increase Mr. Akashi's suspicion - because he is the only living person present."
Judy glanced at Suzuki Sonoko from the corner of her eye, then looked at the murderer, thoughtfully: "If we hadn't come today, you wouldn't have killed anyone?"
The tennis coach sighed and said, "No, even if you didn't come, I would still take the risk."
Inspector Yamamura's ears twitched: "Huh? You admit that you killed the person?"
Tennis coach: “?!” Damn, these people are singing the same tune and have trapped him without him realizing it… cunning Tokyo people, cunning Americans!!
Judy was glared at by him for no apparent reason: "???"
Jiang Xia waited for him to realize the murderous intent belatedly, then he drove the puppet of "Uzo" and comforted him: "Actually, the evidence of your murder is not difficult to find. The hemp rope should have been bought recently. The material is relatively new and the surface is relatively smooth. It is easy to leave fingerprints when you are not paying attention, especially the knot part. In addition, there is the section of the lamp cord that you cut off and hid..."
"…No need to say that, I have no intention of denying it." Akashi Hiroto secretly thanked God that he didn't speak quickly enough and didn't have time to explain himself.
He continued what he had just said, "Today is the anniversary of my late wife's death. Whether anyone comes or not, I will definitely send my father to pay for his life."
Judy was stunned. "Ask your father to pay with his life? Could it be that your wife's death three years ago was actually a murder led by your father? - But I clearly remember you said before that your late wife died of illness."
That was why she let down her guard, because she thought it was hard for the death to be murder, but now...
Akashi Hiroto smiled bitterly: "Three years ago today, it was also a rainy day. At that time, I was working at a tennis court in Tokyo, and my wife was resting in bed at home because of a cold.
"But my good father woke her up and said he wanted to eat mushroom fried rice, so he asked my wife to go out and buy the ingredients.
"My wife didn't know how to say no. She had to drag her sick body out in the rain and walk to the market three kilometers away to buy vegetables - that was the nearest market to our home. Then on the way back, she became exhausted and collapsed in the woods and never stood up again."
Shancuncao scratched his head and said, "But, but that doesn't mean you have to kill anyone! Although your father did go too far, he probably didn't expect that it would..."
Akashi Hiroto interrupted him, "That's what I thought at the beginning. I even thought my father would feel guilty about it, so the day after his wife's funeral, when I saw him kneeling in front of the altar, I wanted to tiptoe over to him, put some clothes on him, and comfort him.
"But when I got closer, I heard him laughing - the old man actually said to the tablets of my mother and wife, 'This toy is too durable. I hope Kuan Ren can marry a new one as soon as possible, preferably one that is as durable as this one.'
"From that day on, I realized that in his eyes, I was not a human being at all, but just a pathetic tool."
Akashi Hiroto sighed and wiped his face with his hand:
"As his adopted son, I always thought that my father treated me harshly and deliberately made things difficult for me because he did not treat me as an outsider but as his own son. I always comforted myself with this view and would obey him no matter how unreasonable his demands were.
"Because of his willfulness and his casual remark of 'I want to live away from the world', I had to bring my young wife to this remote woods to choose a site and build a house.
"The same thing happened with the lights. One day he suddenly lengthened the cord of the light in his bedroom, and then he asked us to lengthen the cords of all the lights in the house to accommodate his height."
At this point, Akashi Hiroto suddenly laughed and said, "My wife is very careful. In order to lengthen the pull rope beautifully, she used the method in the fishing manual to tie a neat fishing knot.
"The only light cord in the house that wasn't extended by my wife was in my father's bedroom. That's why I cut it without hesitation just now."
"It's a pity... this special point is also special in the eyes of others, and it has become my fatal flaw."
Amid the sighs of the crowd, Hiroto Akashi left in a police car.
Yamamura Cao watched the criminals walk away, then sighed, arranged a police car, and was reluctant to see these Tokyo people who came to deliver performance leave.
After a rough count, he looked at the number of people and felt something was wrong: "It seems that two are missing. Where are that suspicious blond foreign teacher, that wild... ahem, and that wise detective?"
Conan was startled when he heard this, and suddenly looked around, then was shocked to find that in the blink of an eye, the two guys actually disappeared without a trace.
Conan, who couldn't speak because of his pharyngitis: "..."
Just now, when he saw Jiang Xia waking up, he used gestures and sign language to tell Jiang Xia that a suspicious detective who could solve the case had just arrived. He wanted Jiang Xia, the conversation representative who could still speak, to help him talk to the other party, and it would be best if they could change the contact method.
After finally communicating with Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia agreed to help him ask, but when he turned around, the key person was gone!
"Is that person really Judy's friend? From Judy's reaction before, I thought she didn't consider that person a friend... Is this just a disguise?"
Conan couldn't speak, but his mind was racing: "But if they wanted to pretend they didn't know each other, why did they simultaneously disappear now? It's really weird."
I was wondering in my heart when suddenly, Judy came out from somewhere with a unhappy look on her face.
Conan glanced at her, but didn't bother to investigate further for the time being, and quickly looked behind her.
However, only Judy came out: the man with curly hair and sunglasses was gone.
