Chapter 2088 2096 [Not dead yet! ]
Akane Katori had no time to care about the kidnapper for the time being. She turned to her fiancé and apologetically explained the story of her outlaw ex-fiancé:
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know Mr. Takahashi was in Nagasaki. I was shocked to see him last night. We hadn't seen each other for 10 years before that, and we had no contact in the meantime."
Conan: "Last night, I saw Sister Xiao Qian and that big brother talking together."
bridegroom:"……"
Katori Akane: "..."
Hashimoto Maya: "..." This little devil trained by Uzo is starting to stir up trouble again! He is simply taking advantage of every opportunity, so terrifying.
Akane Katori sighed, "I don't know why he suddenly showed up here, so I found a chance to ask him last night. He said at the time that he came here specifically to watch the wedding, but his expression didn't seem like it, so I was worried that something would go wrong at today's wedding... and it really did."
Jiang Xia looked at the dark-skinned man and suddenly said, "He seems to be awake."
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Uzo's hateful minions infected the righteous detective! ...But Jiang Xia was not fanning the flames, he just had a keen observation ability and found that the key witness had woken up, so he spoke out.
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya immediately felt relieved: Although Conan is a scary kid, he is just an elementary school student after all, and he can't cause any trouble. If force is used, he can be easily suppressed with one hand.
But Jiang Xia is different.
...Fortunately, after going through so many cases, Jiang Xia is still the righteous detective. He even wanted to run over to save Ireland just now.
A detective who is willing to unconditionally protect citizens always makes people feel at ease, and even an outlaw cannot help but admire him from the bottom of his heart.
After thinking about it over and over again, Hashimoto Maya felt much more at ease.
At this time, the dark-skinned man realized that he could no longer pretend, and finally staggered to his feet.
Curacao couldn't help but look at him again: Even after being hit by such a high-altitude object, he was able to get up so quickly... He is worthy of being the prop chosen by Uzo.
The dark-skinned man looked at Jiang Xia and sneered, "I always feel that you have been looking at me with strange eyes for a long time. How did you find the flaw?"
Curacao: “…” Maybe it’s because your actions are all in his script.
Jiang Xia: “…” Of course it’s because the murderous aura on you is too conspicuous.
But this is certainly not something a detective should say.
Jiang Xia made up an excuse: "You said before that you were from Otaru, Hokkaido, and came to Nagasaki for tourism, but just now in the bridal preparation room, when you walked in and saw the bride, you blurted out "How dazzling" in Nagasaki dialect - you should have been born in Nagasaki.
"The two 'unknown' incidents that Grandma Ohga encountered - brake failure and being nearly hit by a falling boulder while taking a walk - were probably planned by you."
The stage was given to the detective, the police officer who was listening quietly: "?"
How come I heard two more attacks?
And it sounds like many days have passed since then, so the evidence is probably blurred and incomplete... The workload has increased terribly.
Fortunately, the attacker dared to say anything.
Takahashi Jun'ichi waved his hands and said angrily, "Yes, I did it! It was all because my master - Miss Xiaoqian's father - was forced to death by this old woman. I avenged him, isn't that right!
"Ten years ago, Dahe Bank suddenly asked Master to pay back all the money he had borrowed. Master was left with nowhere to go and hanged himself in his own glass workshop. I went to work at the time and when I pushed the door open, I saw Master hanging on the roof like a light bulb... I will never forget that tragic death!
"Miss Xiao Qian came back just as I did and also saw that horrible scene - and all of this happened because that old woman was determined to get our glass workshop!
"Before the master committed suicide, our workshop had not received any orders for a long time. So I went to Otaru, Hokkaido, and asked a wholesaler who cooperated with us why he terminated the cooperation. Only then did he tell me that it was Ohga Bank that asked them to reduce their orders to us..."
"That's not the case."
Da He's father suddenly interrupted him.
The taciturn middle-aged man sighed and said, "My mother admires Mr. Katori's glass products very much and hopes that he can continue to run the business for a long time, so she made a suggestion and hoped that you could change your business strategy. But Mr. Katori, the creator, would not listen at all.
"After another failed negotiation, Mr. Katori angrily said, 'I only sell my glass to people who know its true value.' From then on, he only made high-end products that cost a lot of money and required a lot of effort and time.
"So, the things you made were indeed of great artistic value, but without the fame and publicity to match, the end result was that you couldn't make ends meet. Your workshop was in deficit for years, and your master's overdue payments went from three days, a week, a month, to one or two years. Our bank wasn't doing well at the time, so we had no choice but to make up our minds to recover the money, so..."
“I don’t believe it—!”
Before he could finish, the dark-skinned man fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, covering his head with his hands and saying "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen," with a look of pain on his face.
Ohga's sister rolled her eyes and looked at Katori Akane: "Grandma doesn't agree with your marriage because her policy back then was too tough, which indirectly led to your father's suicide. You look a lot like your father, and she will feel very emotional when she sees you."... She is also worried that you have sneaked in for revenge, and that one day there will be a sudden outbreak and a serial murder case like the Ohga family.
Akane Katori looked at her ex-fiancé crying on the ground, and her heart ached when she thought of her father.
She walked up to Grandma Ohga and said sincerely, "I know it's a bit hard to ask you to say this, but I still hope you can forgive Mr. Takahashi."
The groom was still confused, but seeing the heartbroken look on the bride's face, he followed suit: "Yes, grandma, the bomb didn't explode, and everyone is just like this because of a misunderstanding. Why don't you just forgive him?"
The police officer with handcuffs taken out: “???” I’m still standing here, what are you guys loudly conspiring about!
He had a lot to say, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
At this moment, an angry voice with gritted teeth came from the side: "I don't agree."
The people from the Daha family were stunned.
When I turned around, I saw a strange tall man standing next to me with a grim look on his face.
The groom was startled: "You are..."
Jiang Xia looked at the murderous aura on Ireland and introduced him in a friendly manner: "This is Mr. Edward who almost died in the sky just now."
