Chapter 153 There is only one truth, the murderer is...

With the assistance of grassroots police officers, the initial inquiry work progressed quickly.

Even if some individuals are unwilling to cooperate with the grassroots police officers and only want to use their status to cause trouble and leave this unlucky place as soon as possible, after seeing that the powerful people who need their flattery are honestly cooperating with the police, they have no choice but to suppress their temper and obey, and tell the police everything they hear and see.

"About half an hour ago, I hid in the stairwell to smoke, and I happened to see a woman dressed as a cleaner pestering the assistant of Mr. Karasuma for money. Because of the angle, they didn't notice me, but I thought it was best not to meddle in other people's business, so I avoided them and didn't listen any further." The fashionable young man from a wealthy family said as he fixed his hairstyle, looking indifferent to what had just happened.

The police officer in charge of the questioning choked up and stopped writing. He asked in disbelief, "In that situation, I could guess that the two people had cat pee just by listening to your retelling. Can't you even think of that?"

The rich young master looked at the police officer in front of him as if he was an idiot. He sneered and said, "I avoided him because I realized there was a problem. Otherwise, what if I heard something I shouldn't have heard and was silenced?"

"..." The police officer choked again, his expression blank, his mouth opened and closed, and finally uttered a sentence with difficulty: "That's good, you are very safety-conscious."

"Of course." The young master of the rich family raised his lips, his expression was quite proud: "Let's not talk about anything else, my ability to protect myself is absolutely max level, if it wasn't..., I wouldn't say it."

The second half of the sentence was spoken very softly, almost as a mumble. The rich young man calmly shifted his gaze to the group of people beside the podium. Those adults whom he had to look up to were being flattering and attentive to a young man he had never seen before.

The degree of suspicion forced the young master of the rich family to weigh the pros and cons. Rather than telling the police what he saw and offending the old man of the Karasuma family, lying and covering up the truth under the nose of such an important figure would be easier than offending him and the family behind him who could not afford to offend.

There were many people who thought the same as this rich young man. Many of them who originally did not want to cause trouble quickly realized what they should do after seeing the young man with a mysterious origin and long oak-white hair having a pleasant conversation with Inspector Fūtani who was temporarily in charge of the case.

A large number of clues were gathered in the hands of Rei Furuya. After eliminating the suspicions of the guests temporarily detained in the lobby one by one, the only ones left were the ones who everyone looked at and thought were the most suspicious: Karasuma Grandpa, Hanasaka Ryoka, and Niimura Mayumi.

These people are Karasuma Shoma's uncle, fiancée, and lover respectively. They all have varying degrees of ties and entanglements with Karasuma Shoma, the victim who was almost killed, and have sufficient reasons to attack him.

After listening to Furuya Rei's analysis, Karasuma Shouma, the person involved, was unwilling to accept it. A slight blush appeared on his pale face, and he excitedly defended his confidante, "It's okay for my uncle, he wants me dead and everyone in Tokyo knows it, but Ryoka and Mayumi will never kill me, they both love me so deeply."

"?" Douma slowly typed a question mark, his eyes subtly changing from looking at a super spendthrift at the beginning to looking at a fool with a muddled brain.

What kind of fool would say such a thing? Douma hesitated and wanted to say something, almost unable to hold back the urge to complain that surged in his heart.

Luckily, before Douma could hold back, his mouthpiece today, Suzuki Sonoko, spoke first: "Do you want to listen to what you just said? Two such beautiful ladies are in love with you at the same time? How can you be so shameless?"

"Ms. Suzuki! Please be careful with your words." Karasuma Shoma glared at the talkative Suzuki Sonoko, his face flushed as if he had been slapped hard. After so many setbacks, he almost lost his mind. If it weren't for the last gentlemanly demeanor reminding him that he should not hit a woman, he would probably have raised his fist and rushed over to shut the person up.

The fierce look of the man in front of her really frightened Suzuki Sonoko. She took a half step back in fear, but tightly grasped the bag in her hand, and muttered in a low voice: "A two-timing scumbag."

Although Suzuki Sonoko's voice was not loud, Karasuma Shoma heard everything because they were not far away from each other. However, he did not get angry because of it. As a man, he even thought it was a compliment. To have two women in his arms and enjoy the happiness of having two women is the dream of all men, not to mention that his red rose and white rose followed him voluntarily.

As if to confirm Karasuma Shoma's confident psychological activities, Hanasaka Ryoka, who was holding the title of fiancée, stood up, holding hands with Shinmura Mayumi, and generously admitted: "Mayumi and I both like Shoma very much, and we are full of expectations for our future life together."

When saying this, there was no reluctance in Hanasaka Ryoka's tone and expression. Instead, she looked like she was really looking forward to it. She smiled happily and attracted many puzzled looks.

"Ms. Suzuki, did you hear everything?" Karasuma Shoma looked at Suzuki Sonoko with the proud look of a winner.

This action made Suzuki Sonoko so angry that she jumped on the spot. Before she rushed over to argue with the others, Mao Lilan grabbed her in time and comforted her softly: "Sonoko, calm down. Shinichi just told me some interesting new news. You will like it."

"?" Suzuki Sonoko stopped her action half-believingly, turned around and looked at her best friend, waiting for her to share gossip.

Mao Lilan gently patted the back of Suzuki Sonoko's hand, then turned around and said to everyone, "Ms. Hanasaka, Ms. Niimura, is your relationship really that simple? Clothes, jewelry, and even the bags that women value most are all from the same series. Are you two really just best friends?"

Faced with Mao Lilan's obvious questioning, Hanasaka Ryoka, a lady who is used to the world, did not show any abnormality, and asked openly: "Is it strange? Of course, best friends should use different models from the same series to be intimate."

But Mayumi Niimura next to her was not as natural as Hanasaka Ryoka. She was obviously nervous, and her lips, which were painted with light lipstick, were slightly deformed by her biting.

The confident big enemy, Karasuma Sho, was completely confused and had no idea what this woman who suddenly appeared was talking about. He stood in front of the frightened and weak lover and quickly retorted: "Yes, what's strange about that? I gave them the bags."

Without Maori Kogoro as the best shield, Kudo Shinichi's new mouth made a shining debut for Maori Ran, helping her boyfriend who was not convenient to show up, and slowly told the truth that the other party had just found out: "But, according to my private investigation, the two of you are a couple."

I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.

Such a shocking melon stunned everyone present, especially the one who was really redundant in the crowd.

After going through a series of complex and indescribable changes, Karasuma Shoma's expression finally froze in tears. It was obvious that he finally realized that he was a big idiot who was being played around by others.

Two glittering green hats were put over his head, but Karasuma Shoma suddenly realized that he might not even be qualified to wear a green hat. Everything that happened today was simply too devastating.

Having lost both his career and his love, Karasuma Sho had fallen to the bottom of the valley. He was like a little rooster that had fallen into the water. He was no longer as heroic and high-spirited as before. He turned around and looked at the two women who had played him in their hands. He asked with the last glimmer of hope, "Is she telling the truth?"

Hanasaka Ryoka held her forehead helplessly and sighed, then shrugged her shoulders as if giving up, loosened her hands, and hugged Mayumi Shinmura's slender waist instead, nodded and acknowledged: "She is right, we are a couple, you are the shield we are looking for and the gene provider for our future baby."

Then, Hanasaka Ryoka threw their plans in Karasuma Shouma's face like she had broken a jar, "You have good genes. You are of mixed blood, handsome, tall, and smart... at least you are good at studying and have a good memory. The most important thing is that you don't have any genetic diseases, and you have a long life inherited from your ancestors."

Being praised by his fiancée like a stud, Karasuma Sho was not happy at all. He held his broken heart in disbelief and asked, "Do you still have a conscience to play with my feelings like this?"

"Conscience? That's hilarious." Hanasaka Ryoka sneered, slapped away Karasuma Shoma's hand that was trying to pull her, and after calming down, she explained to the other onlookers, "Actually, we didn't have this plan at first. If it wasn't for this Master Shoma's plan to hook up with his fiancée's best friend, we wouldn't have done this."

Mayumi Niimura, who had been hiding behind Hanasaka Ryoka, mustered up her courage, stuck her head out and explained to Karasuma Shoma, who was being used by them, "Originally, we were planning to tell you about this slowly."

Their explanation made Karasuma Shoma feel even more embarrassed. With red eyes, he pointed at the two and shouted, "So you two conspired to kill me."

"Did you listen to what they said?" Douma was in a good mood and interrupted Karasuma Shouma's brainless questioning, and stood up for the two young ladies who brought him the decisive evidence: "They want your genes. If you die, their plan will be in vain, so they are not the murderer."

In a special episode of Science Selection, two suspects were eliminated in one go, so there’s no need to reveal who the real murderer is, right?

Douma used his special dimensional hack to bypass all distractions and pointed at Karasuma who was shaking his head and sighing. He announced to the crowd in a decisive manner: "There is only one truth, and the murderer is you, Mr. Karasuma."

Take other people's paths and leave them with nowhere to go.jpg

"Huh?" Kudo Shinichi, the elementary school student limited edition of the Grim Reaper, who had finally squeezed in between the thighs, heard these familiar words.

Kudo Shinichi, who was always waiting for the police to arrive late, raised his head and looked at the dusty identification scene. The hand holding the evidence could not help but tremble slightly. In other words, was he late?

Douma glanced at Kudo Shinichi who arrived a little later, and a happy smile appeared on his face: Who can resist the pleasure of revealing the true murderer before Conan? He can't.
