Chapter 2790 2802 [Rye Whiskey] Ask for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
Guests eating in the restaurant.
Fumiko Horida leaned against the window, looking at the city lights in the distance, and reached out to touch the necklace around her neck.
At the same time, in President Horita's bedroom.
He changed into his pajamas, and while feeling angry about his unfilial children, he sat down in the recliner, planning to read the newspaper and then rest.
At this moment, he glanced inadvertently and suddenly found a rectangular wooden box on the table.
"Hmm? What is this?"
President Horita picked it up and found that it was a wine box with a trademark engraved on the upper part and the year "1989" marked on the bottom.
"Rye whiskey from 1989." President Horita's expression eased slightly and he opened the lid of the box. "I don't know which idiot gave it to me as a birthday present..."
boom--!!
The wine box exploded with a loud bang, and a wave of hot air swept through the bedroom, engulfing the figure sitting on the rattan chair.
…
"explode?!"
Several people in the restaurant stood up suddenly. Jiang Xia turned to look outside the door, while Akai Shuichi had already strode over.
The three detectives hurried after him. When they reached the door and looked out, they saw a bedroom nearby with its door wide open. Behind the charred door, President Horida was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, looking dead. He seemed to be dead.
"master?!"
"dad!"
The other people in the villa were also alarmed by the explosion and ran over one after another.
Jiang Xia took a few steps forward and raised his hand to block the person who was about to enter the house. "Don't destroy the scene. I'll go in and take a look first."
"Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?" The eldest son, who has been overseas for many years, snorted coldly, "Besides, that guy has already been in jail!"
He raised his hand and pointed backwards. Jiang Xia turned around with some surprise and saw Akai Shuichi had walked into the house and stopped beside the corpse.
Jiang Xia: “…” You wanted to go in here on your own initiative. If something happens, it will have nothing to do with the innocent Wu Zo.
Inside the room, Akai Shuichi checked the body and turned to look at the family of the deceased: "The person is dead. There is a high possibility of a second explosion in this room. If you want to be bombed like your father, you can come in now."
Two people: “!”
After a second of stiffness, the eldest son, who was originally in the front, quietly let his wife stand in front of him and said, "Qimie, go in and take a look."
The eldest sister-in-law snorted, "Don't make trouble. Since my father is dead, this is the murder scene. We can't just go in casually, otherwise we will cause trouble for others."
Conan: “…” What a family with a loving father and filial son.
Maori Kogoro was slow to come back to his senses and said to Akai Shuichi: "You come out too! Don't think you can just enter the scene by pretending to be righteous!"
Suzuki Sonoko whispered to Mao Lilan: "No wonder he didn't try to persuade you to leave when he was in New York - the FBI's law enforcement method is really rough."
Jiang Xia turned to them and reminded the two distracted onlookers: "Call the police first."
…
When Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko called the police, Conan also sneaked into the house.
He was not comfortable letting the suspicious Shuichi Akai enter the crime scene alone.
"In my impression, the Black Organization has assassinated many prominent figures in society. In addition, those figures themselves are likely to be members of their organization, just like Pisco who was burned to death a while ago - on the surface, he was the president of a large company, but in secret, he was actually a senior member of the organization who had seen Haibara Ai's childhood appearance."
Conan looked at President Horita who had fallen to the ground: "This president actually had contact with Akai Shuichi and even specially invited him to his family dinner - maybe they were actually colleagues in private. And for some reason, Akai Shuichi cruelly killed him."
"If that's the case, then I must keep a close eye on this vicious-looking knitted hat and not give him a chance to erase the evidence."
Thinking of this, Conan tried his best to avoid Akai Shuichi's gaze and slipped to the side of the corpse.
He looked down at the lifeless body and found that his hands were pierced by many tiny glass fragments. In addition, there seemed to be some strange color on the slightly charred sleeves.
"Glass fragments..." Conan glanced around and his sight quickly landed on a palm-sized piece of broken wood. "Is this a whiskey box? Fortunately, the icon on it was not completely burned... Rye whiskey?"
This strong liquor reminded him of gin and vodka - if he remembered correctly, the cadres in that organization were code-named after alcohol.
"Is the appearance of this bottle of wine here a coincidence or a sign?" Conan secretly noted down the name of the wine, planning to ask Huihara Ai when he got back. "It's a pity that Huihara is very tight-lipped. If she can answer one out of ten questions, she's lucky."
After thinking about this for a while, Conan continued to observe the scene.
At this time, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko began to whisper.
Jiang Xia looked at them: "What's wrong?"
Suzuki Sonoko held her phone and sighed, "The signal here is too bad. We went to the housekeeper to borrow a landline, but someone cut the phone line, and now we can't contact the police."
"What a lousy signal." The eldest sister-in-law couldn't help but curse under her breath, "I've told you long ago that it's better to live in the city when you're old, closer to the hospital and the police, but dad insisted on building a villa on the top of the mountain to show off - now, let alone medical treatment, we can't even call the police if he dies."
Jiang Xia glanced at Akai Shuichi next to him, and maintaining the attitude of a high school student, he tried to stop the fight: "It's raining now, it's normal for the signal to fluctuate. It should be fine after the rain stops. Since you have nothing to do anyway, why don't you talk about your relationship with your father?"
The eldest son pushed up his glasses and surprisingly understood the process: "Are you trying to say that the murderer who planted the bomb is likely among us?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "From the scene, the explosive should have exploded in the deceased's hand. And there are no signs of intrusion on his bedroom window - if it wasn't someone at home, it would be difficult to quietly place the explosive next to him."
"I see." The eldest son accepted this smoothly, and then he turned to his sister even more smoothly, "Wenzi, the murderer is you."
Before Fumiko Horita could say anything, Kogoro Maori cleared his throat and began to defend the lady who had used his car: "Solving a case requires evidence. Why do you say that?"
The eldest sister-in-law chimed in, "Of course it's because Wenzi hates Dad the most among all of us. She severed her relationship with Dad and ran away from home five years ago. But tonight, she came back. And just as she came back, Dad was blown to death... Doesn't this coincidence explain the problem?"
