Chapter 76 Chapter 76 A series of tragic events in the wills of wealthy families (VI)…
There was blood on the back of the head of Hojo Fujitaka who was lying unconscious on the ground. Akihara Hidetoshi quickly determined that the coma was caused by brain trauma, and immediately rushed over to take emergency first aid measures.
Tamane, Atobe and Butler Tano arrived at the same time. Seeing that Hojo Fujitaka was seriously injured, Tamane felt sorry for him and immediately claimed that she knew first aid and volunteered to help Doctor Akihara. In fact, while no one was paying attention, she secretly used her spiritual power to heal Mr. Hojo's injuries.
Seeing this, Atobe Keigo frowned and asked, "Butler Tianye, what exactly happened?"
Housekeeper Tian Ye's face was extremely grim. "Every night around 10:30, I go to the master's room to urge him to go to bed, because he always says he sleeps too much during the day and can't sleep at night. Today, because of the police, I was delayed a little. I didn't get to the master's room until nearly 11 o'clock. As soon as I opened the door, I saw the master lying on the ground unconscious..."
"It's a collision injury," Akihara Eiji finished the first aid treatment and breathed a sigh of relief. Upon hearing what Butler Tano said, he looked around and finally pointed to the edge of a nearby low cabinet. "There's blood on it. Perhaps Mr. Hojo lost his strength and accidentally bumped into the cabinet when he fell."
"Doctor Akihara! How is the master?" Seeing Akihara stop what he was doing, Butler Tian Ye asked nervously.
"Mr. Hojo is not bleeding much. The bleeding has stopped."
When Butler Tian Ye heard this, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard what Doctor Akihara said next.
"However, the brain is the most delicate, complex, and fragile organ in the human body. We can't tell how serious Hojo Fujitaka's injuries are with the naked eye. If there's internal bleeding, it's going to be bad. We'll know after the ambulance arrives and he's taken to the hospital for a thorough examination."
Tian Ye’s housekeeper prayed quickly: “God bless you, may the ambulance come quickly…”
*
When the ambulance arrived at the Hojo family villa, the noise finally alarmed everyone else. Whether they were already asleep or not, they all knew that Master Hojo had hit his head.
Everyone followed the ambulance to the nearest hospital. Mr. Hojo was sent for a CT scan, and everyone waited anxiously outside for the results.
Among the crowd, only Yuyin was not too anxious. She had already used her spiritual power to heal Mr. Hojo, so she thought there would be no internal bleeding.
The result was as she expected. The doctor came out and announced that the patient's injury was not serious and there was no intracranial injury. He would rest for a while and would probably wake up tomorrow.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Hojo Hirohiro insisted on staying in the hospital to keep vigil for his father. The conscientious butler Tano immediately said that he would go back to the villa first to get some necessities for the master and the young master, and Akihara Eitoshi also said that he would go back to the villa to pick up some things.
When Hojo Kimiyo heard that his elder brother would not wake up until tomorrow, he pulled his son and said that he wanted to go back to sleep and come back tomorrow morning.
Atobe originally planned to accompany his good friend Hojo Hirohiro in the hospital, but he sent him back. Naturally, Tamane went wherever Atobe was.
After all this trouble, it was already past one in the morning. Yuyin was extremely sleepy, but she was still forcing herself to think about whether what happened to Mr. Hojo was an accident or man-made. At the same time, she felt sorry for him. It was a pity that she was taking a shower when Mr. Hojo was injured. In addition, the villa had good sound insulation, otherwise with her hearing, she might have been able to find some clues.
The car drove quickly on the mountain road. Yuyin looked at the scenery passing by outside the window and fell asleep unknowingly with her head resting on Atobe's shoulder.
The two murders that happened in succession had already made Atobe Keigo a little confused, so he thought about having a chat with Tamane, but he didn't expect that Uncle Hojo was injured and fainted again.
Although Yuyin's action of offering to help Dr. Akihara was secretive, his eyes almost never left her. Although he couldn't see her spiritual power without the racket in her hand, he could still guess what she did to ultimately prevent Uncle Hojo from getting into trouble.
The more they get along, the more he realizes the beauty of the person next to him.
Feeling the gentle breathing beside his ears, Atobe Keigo's heart gradually calmed down, and for a moment he just hoped that this moment could last forever.
But the road eventually came to an end. The driver's voice, "Master Atobe, we've arrived at the villa," broke the silence. Before Atobe Keigo could even tell him not to wake Yuyin, the person he cared about was already rubbing his eyes and muttering, "Keigo, are we there yet?"
The moonlight shines in from the car window. The weather is clear during the day and naturally cloudless at night. The bright moonlight adds a hazy beauty.
If it weren't for the wrong time and place, gazing closely at Yuyin's amber eyes reflecting the moonlight, Atobe Keigo would have wanted to say Natsume Soseki's classic words, "The moon is beautiful tonight."
Finally, he just sighed softly, rubbed Yuyin's head, and said softly: "We're here. If you want to sleep, go back to your room and rest."
"Yeah." Yuyin blinked. After a series of things, she had to use her brain and spiritual power, so she was naturally a little tired. After saying hello to Atobe, she went back to her room to sleep.
*
That night, some people slept well, while others tossed and turned.
But some people never have a future.
Yuyin got up at 8:30 and barely slept for six hours. When she arrived at the restaurant, most of the people were already there.
"Morning, Keigo."
She greeted Atobe who was slowly cutting a sandwich, then turned to the other side, "Good morning, Xiaolan, Conan and Detective Maori." Then she pulled out a chair and sat down next to Atobe.
Xiaolan nodded and smiled, "Good morning, Yuyin-san."
Maori on the side was not in the best of spirits. Something like this had happened to the host's family, and he didn't know what would happen to the commission in the end. Smoking was also prohibited in the restaurant, which naturally made him even less motivated.
But soon after, a figure rushing into the restaurant in a panic broke the silence in the room.
Hojo Yuzhi leaned against the door, breaking down and crying: "My mother, my mother...she's dead!"
Tamane, Atobe, Mori and Conan all stood up suddenly.
*
Hojo Kimiyo was lying on his back on his bed, already dead.
Her medication and water cup were placed on the bedside cabinet.
When Maori and Conan entered the investigation site, they found a suicide note she left on her mobile phone. In the note, she admitted that she had murdered Hojo Hayao and her eldest brother in order to get more inheritance. However, when she heard that her eldest brother's injuries were not serious and he would wake up tomorrow, she was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she committed suicide by taking poison.
At the end of the suicide note, she wrote that all this was done by her alone and had nothing to do with her son Hojo Yuzhi. She hoped that her eldest brother would watch her commit suicide and take care of Yuzhi, and she would be willing to die.
"How could it be... How could my mother do such a thing?" When Hojo Yuzhi heard Mori read out the contents of the suicide note, he looked dazed and did not believe that this was done by his mother.
Maori looked very relaxed, and said confidently: "It seems that this case has been solved. The criminal couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide out of fear of crime. There is no need for my sleeping Kogoro to take action~"
"No." x2
As soon as Yuyin opened her mouth, she found that someone was talking to her.
She looked at Conan, who also rejected Maori's judgment, and said, "Hojo Kimiyo is not the murderer."
Conan: "She didn't even commit suicide. She was murdered."
Yuyin glanced at her watch and said, "Call the police and gather all the suspects from yesterday to the villa. I already know who the real murderer is."
By this time, the two police officers should have investigated what she asked them to verify and found the key evidence.
It's time the truth was revealed.
*
Soon, Yamato Gansuke and Uehara Yui arrived at the scene again with the police.
When he saw Hojo Kimiyo's body, Yamato Gansuke's face turned ugly. He suppressed his anger and asked the forensic department to check the scene first. Then he turned to Yuyin and said, "I heard that you want to gather everyone to reveal the truth?"
Yuyin nodded: "Yes."
Yamato Gansuke's face was sullen, and he poked his cane. "We've already investigated what you said to me and Uehara yesterday. As you suspected, the key evidence was found in the area you marked. This evidence is enough to convict that person. Leave the rest to us, the police."
"Officer Yamato," Yuyin shook her head, clearly disagreeing with Yamato's idea. "Rather than sending someone to apprehend the murderer and having him flee, it would be safer to have someone come here and catch him in the act. Furthermore, I believe everyone involved in this case deserves to know the truth, so it's most appropriate to disclose the truth now that everyone is present."
Yamato Gansuke looked at her for a long time, and finally decided to take a step back: "Well, considering that you found the key clues and evidence this time."
*
The three people who were accompanying the unconscious Hojo Fujitaka in the hospital rushed back to the villa as quickly as possible after receiving the police notification that Hojo Kimiyo had committed suicide out of fear of punishment and asked them to rush to the villa to record their statements.
"Is this true? Aunt Kimiyo..." After entering the house, Hojo Hirohiro asked someone. It was not known whether he wanted to ask whether Hojo Kimiyo really committed suicide or was really the murderer.
Hojo Yuzhi, who was extremely sad, sat with his head down and ignored him.
Atobe Keigo nodded to him.
After getting the confirmation, Hojo Hirohiro showed a confused and painful look, took a step back, and bumped into Butler Tano who was standing behind him.
Butler Tian Ye quickly supported him and advised: "Master Guanghao, you can't fall down. The master is now... The Hojo family will rely on you in the future!"
Although Akihara Hidetoshi was a little surprised that the murderer was the bad-tempered female elder, overall, the grievances and hatreds of the Hojo family had little to do with him. He was just Hojo Fujitaka's personal doctor.
He checked his watch and said to Yamato Gansuke impatiently, "Officer, could you please start taking the statement soon? As a doctor, my time is very precious. I'd better not leave Mr. Hojo Fujitaka alone. I need to get back as soon as possible."
However, the one who responded was Saionji Tamon, a guest with whom he had no previous interaction, "Doctor Akihara, don't worry, Mr. Hojo will be fine. Maybe if you stay in the villa for a while, Mr. Hojo will wake up on his own."
Yuyin took a quick look and saw that everyone was there, so she stepped out from the back.
"It was my idea to gather everyone here. Hojo Kimiyo wasn't the murderer of Hojo Hayao. On the contrary, she was murdered. The circumstances of this case are somewhat complicated and relate to everyone present. Therefore, I asked Officer Yamato to gather everyone here under the pretext of taking statements."
Yuyin explained briefly and then got to the point.
"And the murderer who killed Horikawa Takata, Hojo Hayao, and Hojo Kimiyo is none other than you!"
Everyone looked in the direction Yuyin pointed and saw Hojo Hirohiro, who also had a shocked look on his face.
