Chapter 2795 2807 [Are you still alive?] Ask for monthly ticket ()
The group looked at him in confusion. Maori Kogoro was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
The butler breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Xia: "What the little detective said is absolutely right - everything I did was to avenge Kentaro.
"A few years ago, my son Kentaro was still a little-known pianist. He met a woman named Fumiko Horita at a concert, and they became lovers and dated for a long time.
"Kentaro liked her very much, but he didn't dare to propose to her because he didn't have a stable enough income at that time. He could only work hard, improve his skills, and look for opportunities...Finally, five years ago, he stood out in a piano competition and was recognized by the music industry.
"Kentaro happily proposed to Fumiko Horita, but what he waited for was not a happy life together, but a cold rejection from President Horita."
"Uh..." As a father of a daughter, Maori Kogoro actually understood the unfortunate President Horita a little. "It's normal for a father-in-law to dislike his son-in-law. It's okay to refuse once. Just do it a few more times."
"Oh, that would be great if that were the case." The butler smiled bitterly, "In order to impress President Horita, Kentaro knelt down in front of him and begged. However, not only was Horita unmoved, he even stepped hard on Kentaro's finger."
"!" Suzuki Sonoko retracted her hands and hugged her delicate fingers tightly.
The butler was also looking down at his hands, and he said painfully: "Kentaro has always regarded the piano as his life, but that devil destroyed his hands, and since then, he can no longer play the piano.
"And that woman also left Kentaro, who was frustrated, and left cruelly. In despair, my son drove his car down the winding mountain road, and the car was destroyed and he died.
"I didn't know about these things at the time. It was not until I attended Kentaro's funeral that I learned that such a tragedy had happened to him."
Jiang Xia held his chin up and looked out the window: "So you are determined to avenge him?"
"Yes." The housekeeper said, "I am a well-behaved office worker father who doesn't understand music and rarely communicates with my son... When Kentaro was alive, I ignored him. So after he dies, I must at least avenge him and send those two bastards to hell together to make amends for his sins!
“So as soon as the funeral was over, I immediately quit my original job, worked hard to receive housekeeper training, and changed my name to apply for the job.
"Finally, two years ago, I was recognized by President Horita and became the steward here."
"..." Maori Kogoro was shocked. He calculated the time and felt that with this kind of perseverance, he would succeed in anything. "So you learned new technology for three years and worked for President Horita for two years... just to kill two people?"
"I don't want to stay under him for so long." The housekeeper said helplessly, "But after I applied for the position of housekeeper, I found out that only President Horida lived here alone, and Fumiko Horida ran away from home a few years ago."
“I spent two years trying to track her down and finally found out her address recently.
"President Horita's birthday was coming up, so I decided to use this birthday party as a stage for revenge.
"I first sent an invitation to Fumiko Horita in his name, saying that I was in poor health and old, and I missed her very much and hoped she would come back.
"Then I 'inadvertently' revealed President Horita's recent preferences, allowing the second young master who wanted to ask him for money to cater to his preferences and prepare that bottle of aged rye whiskey.
"You all know everything that happens next."
At this point, the butler also looked out the window, his face full of relief: "All my wishes have finally come true."
"How can it be achieved?" Suzuki Sonoko didn't understand. "Didn't Miss Fumiko go down the mountain to call the police? Have you decided to let her go?"
The butler raised his lips and revealed a mysterious smile: "Go down the mountain to call the police? Oh, now that things have come to this, I am not afraid to tell you - once she gets on that car, my revenge plan will have been completely successful."
The two high school girls were stunned for a moment, then reacted: "You tampered with that car?!"
"That's right. Once the car drives away, the death trap I set up will be activated." The housekeeper sighed, "She should have been dead like my son by now."
As he said this, he remembered something and looked at Jiang Xia and Conan: "Thank you very much for helping me find Miss Wen Zi to drive the car, otherwise this plan would not have gone so smoothly."
"But..." Ran Mao Li recalled the way Fumiko Horita held the necklace pendant last night, and couldn't help but said, "But you are wrong! Miss Fumiko is still single until now, and she regards your son's photo as important as her life. She can't be the cold-blooded person you said - is there any misunderstanding here?"
The housekeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible! She was just a woman who abandoned me after having sex with me. She is not as loyal as you say. If it weren't for her, my son would not have ended up in such a miserable way!"
When Mao Lilan thought about Miss Fumiko who might have been buried at the bottom of the mountain, she was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
And the next moment, she suddenly saw a figure walking into the room, and tears really fell from her eyes - this time she was frightened.
"Ghost..." Mao Lilan trembled and stepped back, bumping into Jiang Xia, "Ghost!!"
"!" Jiang Xia turned around and showed a disappointed look - there was no ghost at all, it was just Miss Horita Fumiko who walked in alive.
"?!" The housekeeper was extremely shocked and looked at her in disbelief, "Impossible, why are you still alive?!"
“……”Horita Fumiko looked sad, and there was a hint of confusion in her sadness.
After a moment of silence, she did not answer the housekeeper's words, but looked at Jiang Xia first: "I planned to drive the car past the window as you said, and then slowly park the car and come back here... But after entering the garage, I found that it was empty, there was no car at all."
Conan was stunned: "What did you say?!"
"I said I couldn't find the car." Fumiko Horida glanced at the child who seemed to be hard of hearing and repeated patiently, "I thought you described the wrong place, so I looked around the garage and other parking spots... but there was no car in the entire backyard. Are you sure the car was parked in the back garage?"
"Of course I'm sure." Suzuki Sonoko interrupted in surprise, "Just now I saw a car pass by the window and drive away."
Hota Fumiko: "?"
The two people stared at each other blankly.
