Chapter 3256 3268 [Threat Letter]
Conan understood: "Since the ongoing event has been cancelled, it is normal that it will not be held again... No wonder I have never heard of this event."
"that……"
Mrs. Suhua watched for a long time and finally couldn't help interrupting. She glanced at Kudo Yukiko, turned around and asked Kisaki Eri, whom she had hired for 10 million, "Who is this woman? Do you know her?"
Kudo Yukiko then remembered this big trouble, and while Mrs. Suhua was a little relaxed, she hurriedly said: "I have nothing to do with your husband! It was your husband's brother-in-law who asked me to come here to help investigate!"
Mrs. Suhua looked suspicious: "Are you talking about the brother-in-law who lives and eats for free in our house?"
"That's right. Don't quarrel and find out the situation first." The old butler stood aside helplessly. As he spoke, he turned his head and started coughing.
Jiang Xia looked at the 70-year-old grandfather who was still working and asked: "Are you catching a cold?"
The old housekeeper shook his head and smiled bitterly, "She's just a little out of breath, don't worry. Speaking of which, since this lady is Master Fan's guest, I'll take you to say hello to him. I remember he's at home today, too."
"I'll go find him!" Mrs. Suhua seemed to be a simple-minded person most of the time, but at this moment, she suddenly became as if she had some ideas. She stared at Kudo Yukiko with hostility, "Because you can find him first and then use the beauty trap to make him help you cover up your lie!"
Kudo Yukiko: "..." Being suspected like this, it seems like I should be angry, but "honey trap" sounds like a compliment...
Under her conflicted gaze, Mrs. Suhua ran away like a rushing rabbit.
The old housekeeper was obviously used to the new wife's temper. He calmly pretended not to hear anything and opened the gate: "Please come in."
Jiang Xia and Kudo Yukiko entered the yard and walked towards the main house with the others.
Kudo Yukiko looked around at the neat and elegant courtyard, and her bad mood just now was washed away a little: "This yard is beautifully trimmed. Many botanical gardens that are taken care of every day are not so neat."
The old housekeeper smiled with relief: "Our deceased wife was very interested in gardening, so the gardener and I accompanied her to tidy up this garden little by little."
Jiang Xia followed his gaze and saw a short and fat man in his sixties. The man was holding a pair of scissors and squatting in front of a bush a few meters away, trimming the branches and leaves of the bush.
Yukiko Kudo also saw the hardworking gardener and exclaimed, "The yard is beautiful. You have great skills!"
The gardener stopped scissors, looked back at them, then turned back with a cold face, pretending he heard nothing, and continued to prune.
“…”
The atmosphere was briefly silent.
The old housekeeper sighed and said apologetically to the guests, "Please don't mind it. He didn't mean to ignore you. Ever since the master married into the family, he has become more and more taciturn. In the end, he only talked to me and my wife... Of course, it was the former wife, not the current Mrs. Suhua."
As he was speaking, a voice interrupted him, "Maybe it's because he likes my sister. It's normal for him to develop this kind of personality after watching the person he loves marry a man like that."
Jiang Xia looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a suit, with a slightly European look and dress, walking out of the main house.
Kudo Yukiko was also looking at him: "Are you Mr. Fujieda Shigeru who wrote to Yusaku?"
The middle-aged man nodded and was about to speak when another person ran out and braked beside them.
Mrs. Suhua took Kudo Yukiko's hand, and her attitude changed 180 degrees. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to really come to help! You even sent Jiang Xia here. You are so thoughtful!"
"......?" Hearing this, Kudo Yukiko subconsciously pushed Jiang Xia behind her: Why did she say that? It sounded like Jiang Xia was a souvenir she brought with her - what does this strange woman want to do? I can't give this to her!
Jiang Xia didn't care much about these. After such a mess, this dedicated detective actually remembered the business. He poked his head out from behind Kudo Yukiko and said, "Now that the matter has been clarified, let's see the threatening letter sent to your husband first."
"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Suhua skipped upstairs with them, "I've already sorted out everything and put it in the study, waiting for you to come and see it!"
The group followed her upstairs.
However, Fujieda Shigeru looked at the butler, as if he had something to say to him, and the two of them walked away alone.
On the stairs, Jiang Xia glanced at their backs, and without stopping, followed Mrs. Suhua to the study.
"That's all." Mrs. Suhua held a transparent bag and secretly looked at the door. Finding that her husband was not there, she happily walked straight to Jiang Xia and put the thin bag in Jiang Xia's hand.
Conan immediately stood on tiptoe, looking as if he wanted to climb up Jiang Xia's trouser legs: "Let me see too!"
——I originally thought that since Jiang Xia was not here today, I could have a hearty reasoning and save Xiaolan's broken family like a savior. But now...
Oh, forget it. After all, threatening letters involve human lives. It’s not a bad thing that Jiang Xia is coming. As for solving the case... the important thing is to participate.
…
Jiang Xia didn't completely let his classmates lose the experience. He put the transparent plastic bag on the table.
The bag contained two palm-sized pieces of paper, each with a short line of words printed on it:
[Watch your back]
[I will let you reach paradise soon]
In addition, there was a spent bullet in the bag.
Mrs. Suhua looked at them with lingering fear: "For three consecutive days, my husband found something like this under his pillow every day - it's so scary, who is so cruel?"
Jiang Xia casually looked at the two pieces of paper, breathing the comfortable air in this mansion: "You have so many rooms in your house, and you were able to put these things under your husband's pillow accurately. It seems that it must be an insider who committed the crime."
"Wow! You are worthy of it!" Mrs. Suhua looked like she wanted to pounce on him, but when she thought of her husband's huge treasury, she cleared her throat and forced herself to hold back.
Kudo Yukiko keenly noticed her actions and quickly moved between her and Jiang Xia, nipping the danger in the bud.
Then she recalled her accumulated detective knowledge and said seriously: "Have you asked the police to investigate fingerprints? - Cards made of this material should be able to leave relatively clear fingerprints."
