Chapter 2107-2115 [Uzo's Child]
Yamamura Cao had just received a call, and upon hearing this, he immediately became excited: "Of course there is evidence! According to our emergency investigation, Senda Saruhiko had an accident during his time in the circus, and fell off the tightrope - it was from then on that he began to fear heights, and the people in the circus can prove it!"
Xun Longzhi said impatiently: "There are still arrow marks on the tree across the river. If he didn't walk that road, could it be that someone was just bored and shot arrows at the tree?"
Jiang Xia: "The arrow mark was left deliberately by the real murderer behind the scenes. His purpose was to mislead the investigators and make them think that Senda Saruhiko built a rope bridge and escaped through the window."
Yamamura Cao lowered his head silently, trying to reduce his presence and pretend that the unlucky guy who had been misled before was not himself.
Fortunately, no one cares about him at this moment.
Jiang Xia continued: "Senda Saruhiko was indeed involved in the case, but compared to the 'real murderer', he was more like a puppet being manipulated by someone - this case was actually a joint crime between two people. Senda Saruhiko's 'accidental death' was not an accident, but he was murdered by his accomplices."
Hashimoto Maya was horrified when she heard this. The words "puppet manipulated by others" could not help but make those in the know think of Uzo.
Did Jiang Xia really find enough evidence to catch the mastermind?
It's unlikely that Uzo would suddenly order him to silence the detective now.
After a moment, Hashimoto Maya suddenly realized something and looked at Curacao quietly: "..." Wait, if that's the case, this woman will definitely take action. I might as well act according to the circumstances and involve her when necessary.
Curacao felt his gaze and was confused.
But soon, she understood, and her mood became a little subtle: This stupid guy didn't think that Wu Zuo was going to expose Wu Zuo. Oh, naive peripheral member, you probably don't know what your sunny and cheerful detective boss is like.
Thinking of Hashimoto Maya's implicit hostility towards him, as well as his admiration and support for Jiang Xia, Curacao couldn't help but be distracted: If Hashimoto Maya knew the truth one day, his expression would probably be very interesting... No, no, no, you can't be curious about anything around Uzo! Otherwise, this is very likely a trap to lure you into a trap.
Curacao took a deep breath, looked away, and pretended that he had not thought about anything.
Beside her, Suzuki Sonoko looked at this and that, and quietly touched her chin: "..." Is Miss Shirai in love with someone else? Why is she suddenly flirting with Mr. Hashimoto? - Humph, if she were to choose, she would definitely choose Jiang Xia. Although Mr. Hashimoto is also good-looking, he is still a little lacking.
Jiang Xia didn't know that while he was busy pushing the progress bar, three people next to him who were not listening to the lecture were quietly distracted.
He continued to speak calmly, "The murderer knew that the shotgun stolen by Senda Saruhiko was stuffed with lead, and he also knew that once the trigger was pulled, the bullet would shoot out from the back and kill the shooter - it was by taking advantage of this that the murderer was able to get rid of this accomplice without leaving a trace.
"Whether it was the self-proclaimed 'cursed samurai' in the threatening letter or the samurai sword with the 'Hiiragi' family crest, they were all specially prepared by the murderer in order to fabricate the identity of 'the descendant of a samurai who was murdered four hundred years ago' for Senda Saruhiko. Only in this way could he provide Senda Saruhiko with a suitable false motive and divert the attention of the investigators.
"In other words, the murderer's motive was not to 'take advantage of the dispute over the head of the Xun family to take revenge on the Xun family who killed his ancestors', but the exact opposite - the murderer pretended to be a 'cursed warrior' to take revenge on the Xun family, but in fact he took this opportunity to intervene in the dispute over the head of the Xun family.
"Their real goal is to kill Tatsumaru and have Tatsumaru Ryunosuke take over."
There was a dead silence in the hall. This incident completely overturned the version of reasoning they had heard before.
After a while, Dr. Fuyuki came back to his senses and spoke carefully: "It does sound possible. But I remember that Senda Saruhiko was a very smart and cunning man. How could such a person be manipulated by others? Maybe you are overthinking it. All this is indeed out of Senda's own will. The accidental discharge was indeed just an accident."
Jiang Xia glanced at him and felt that this doctor who had cheated on others was also glowing green: "Because there is an indelible 'intersection' between Senda Saruhiko and the real murderer behind the scenes. It is precisely because of this intersection that they tacitly joined forces."
Doctor Fuyuki always felt that he was looking at him strangely, and couldn't help asking: "What do you mean? What is the 'intersection'?"
Jiang Xia: "To put it simply, they have a child."
Everyone: “?!”
Everyone in the hall was stunned, but Senda Saruhiko was not young anymore, and although he was single, it was not too shocking that he had a child in private. Therefore, everyone in the Xun family was only slightly shocked, and soon calmed down.
However, one person reacted dramatically. Maya Hashimoto took a step back as if she was shocked, and her head hit the door frame with such a force that she almost knocked herself out.
A group of people were attracted by his movements and looked at him in surprise and confusion.
Hashimoto Maya's face was in a mess, and she hadn't come to her senses yet: "They, they have a child?!"
How could two men have a child!
...Wait, wasn't he wrong before? Uzo's true identity is actually a woman? !
Curacao: "..." You must not let Uzo know what's in your mind.
However, it seemed too late. She looked at Jiang Xia and saw a fake detective staring blankly for a moment. His eyes suddenly twitched, and he obviously understood this guy's train of thought.
However, compared to Jiang Xia's subtle abnormality, others were obviously more curious about Hashimoto Maya's reaction.
Conan has been keeping an eye on this suspicious person for a long time. After so many days, this is the first time he has seen Hashimoto Maya like this.
Seeing this, Conan's expression suddenly became strange: "..." Could it be that Hashimoto Maya is related to Senda Saruhiko's... uh, the child's mother?
Saruhiko Senda looks a full generation or two older than Maya Hashimoto. Is it that the late Mr. Senda had a taste that was too young, or is it that Maya Hashimoto has a taste that is too unique?
However, after carefully discerning Hashimoto Maya's reaction, Conan felt that he might have misunderstood: this did not seem like the anger and sadness after suddenly learning that his sweetheart had a child, but more like... the shock after eating a big piece of melon that he shouldn't have eaten.
Conan stroked his chin, trying to sort out all the known information, and fell into deep thought.
