Chapter 2229 The Beginning of Death (Let Me Tell You that My Fur Is Super Warm)

The next day, when Fangzheng and Conan left the guest room and came to the lobby, what they saw was Concubine Ushiromiya Natsu and her servant Genji in a hurry.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng."

Seeing Fangzheng, Concubine Gong Xia restrained her slightly anxious expression in front of her.

"Excuse me, I want to ask if you have seen my husband?"

"No, we just woke up."

"That's right... sorry..."

Hearing this, Fangzheng and Conan looked at each other.

"Did something happen?"

"Is such that."

At this moment, Genji, the servant standing behind Natsumi Udai, spoke instead of his master to explain.

"Due to thunder last night, the phone malfunctioned. Then when we went to the kitchen this morning, we found that Chef Goda, who was supposed to cook breakfast for everyone, was missing. Not only him, but also the master. And Mr. Liufufu and Lou Ms. Zao couldn't find it either...and Sain too..."

"Can't find anyone at all?"

Hearing this, Fangzheng frowned.

"It's impossible for everyone to go out for morning jogs or do morning exercises."

"We are planning to go to the courtyard to look for it."

"I see, I will also help to find... Conan, you stay here."

"OK."

Hearing Fangzheng's words, Conan nodded, and then Fangzheng left the villa with the umbrella, Genji and Jiayin, and went to the courtyard.

The storm at this moment still has no intention of stopping, and the big raindrops are mixed with the storm, and people even squint their eyes involuntarily.

"It's too bad to do morning exercises in this weather."

Fangzheng walked in the courtyard with an umbrella and looked around, but as far as he could see, he couldn't see anything except the wind and rain and swaying trees... Huh?

"What's that over there?"

Fangzheng pointed to a hut not far away, and Jiayin hurriedly answered Fangzheng's question.

"That's a warehouse, mainly used to store garden utensils..."

"No, I know that at a glance, I mean..."

Fangzheng stretched out his hand to point to the door of the warehouse.

"What's on that door?"

"Hey?"

Hearing Fangzheng's question, Jiayin looked carefully, only to find a bright red magic circle drawn on the warehouse door, which looked as if it was painted with blood.

"This, what is this!?"

At this time, Genji also saw the pattern on the door, and was shocked.

"Obviously there was no such thing yesterday!"

"...Do you have a key? I want to see what's inside."

"Understood."

Hearing Fangzheng's question, Genji nodded immediately.

"I'm going to report to Madam right now, please wait a moment."

Soon, Concubine Ushiromiya Natsu, Ushiromiya Ewa and her husband Ushiromiya Hideyoshi, who got the news, also rushed over. Looking at the pattern on the warehouse door in front of them, their complexions also changed slightly. Afterwards, Jiayin brought the key and opened the door of the warehouse.

And after seeing the situation in the warehouse clearly, everyone's complexion changed drastically.

In the narrow warehouse, several corpses fell on the ground like this. Their heads were smashed to pieces with some kind of heavy weapon, and their original appearance could not even be seen.

"This, this is..."

Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked.

"Dear!!"

Concubine Xia of the Right Daigong screamed in pain, and immediately wanted to rush in, but was caught by Fang Zheng's sharp eyes and quick hands.

"Everyone back off immediately, don't destroy the scene of the crime!"

Fangzheng stood in front of the warehouse gate, and coldly glanced at the surrounding people, and under his gaze, Ushiromiya Natsu, Ushiromiya Ewa, and Ushiromiya Hideyoshi obediently walked aside—— —Maybe they were also so shocked by what they saw that they had no time to react.

"Mr. Genji."

Fangzheng stood in front of the warehouse gate, glanced around, and then looked at Yuanci.

"Please call Doctor Nanjo, we need to verify the condition of the corpse, and call the police immediately."

"yes."

Genji nodded immediately, then turned and left. And it wasn't until this time that Fangzheng turned his head and carefully observed the corpse in front of him with the help of the light.

There were six dead in total, including the eldest son Zangusu of the Ushiromiya family, the second son Liufufu, his wife Wue, the second daughter Rosa, and the servants Goda and Saine. All faces have been disfigured, barely recognizable only by their clothing. I have to admit that for Fang Zheng, this is quite a tricky case—although there are many dead people in the world of Conan, it is really rare to see so many dead at one time, and such a tragic death.

Soon, Genji rushed to the warehouse with Dr. Nanjo, but to everyone's surprise, besides the two of them, Zhu Zhixiang, Joji, Warren, and Conan also ran behind them come over. Although Concubine Xia tried her best to dissuade them, they still saw the tragic situation in the warehouse.

Zhu Zhixiang and Zhanren were naturally shocked and howled, and Rangzhi was also pale and stood there without saying a word. Even Conan looked at the scene in front of him with a livid face, not knowing what to say. After a while, he calmed down and walked to Fang Zheng's side.

"What do you think?"

"At the moment I don't have any opinion."

Fangzheng looked at Doctor Nanjo who was doing the autopsy, and shook his head.

"But luckily we are mentally prepared."

"Although it is true..."

Of course Conan understood what Fangzheng meant. After all, it was just a "game". The reality is that the Ushiromiya family died on this small island except for Ushiromiya Ewa, so it's no surprise that so many people died. It's all understandable, but what you see on paper is just a cold record after all, and the feeling when you witness it with your own eyes is naturally another matter.

"Is there a prisoner?"

"I don't see it yet."

Fangzheng glanced at it, then looked away.

"In short, I still leave it to you."

“……………………”

Conan didn't say anything this time either. After all, for him, such cases were too rare.

Soon, the autopsy results of Doctor Nanjo came out. Although the cause of death was unknown, it was certain that the six people were disfigured after death and placed in this warehouse. In addition, there is another clue that when Fangzheng and others arrived, the entire warehouse was locked, and there was only one key to the warehouse, which was in the servant's room. Jiayin went back to the servant's room to get the key, and then opened the door.

In other words, after killing six victims somewhere, the criminal took the key from the servants' room, opened the door of the warehouse, moved the six corpses here, and then locked the door of the warehouse. Then he drew the weird magic circle, and then secretly put the key back in the servant's room...

If you want Fangzheng to say, this is really enough time.

As expected, the police could only rely on themselves because the storm could not come, and Fang Zheng naturally revealed his identity, and then started the interrogation work. The first thing to do was naturally ask everyone for their alibi.

First of all, the six people who died, according to Ushiromiya Ewa, after Beatrice’s letter appeared, they started the meeting again to discuss the issue of gold and Ushiromiya’s next Patriarch, and then The meeting lasted until twelve o'clock, Ushiromiya Ewa and her husband Hideyoshi couldn't hold on anymore, so they went to rest.

Only Youdaigong Zangjiu, Youdaigong Liufufu, Youdaigong Wujiang and Youdaigong Louzuo are still discussing.

As for Zangjiu's wife, Concubine Youdai Gongxia, she went back to her room early to rest because she was not feeling well.

As for the servants, according to Genji, Mr. Zangusu temporarily changed the schedule. Saine and Kayin were on the night shift in the guest house, while the murdered chef Gota was on the night shift in the mansion. Genji and another servant Xiong Ze spent the night in the guest house.

As for Joji, Zhu Zhixiang, Sento and Maria stayed together.

Not only that, but after that, Granny Xiong Ze, who ran to prepare breakfast, found a lot of blood in the restaurant, so everyone could determine the scene of the first murder.

So Fangzheng discussed with Conan and basically restored the development of the whole case. First of all, after the incident of the letter last night, the adults all gathered in the dining room of the mansion to discuss the next plan, while the children returned to the guest house to rest. Concubine Xia also went back to her room to rest in the mansion due to her physical discomfort. , At twelve o'clock, Ushiromiya Eha and her husband also returned to the guest house to rest because they couldn't bear to stay up late.

So in this way, it becomes as follows.

Mansion: Udainomiya Kinzo, Udainomiya Zangjiu, Udainomiya Xiafei, Udainomiya Liufufu, Udainomiya Wujiang, Udainomiya Tower, and the chef on duty, Goda.

Guest House: Udaimiya Rangji, Ushiromiya Zhu Zhixiang, Ushiromiya Zhanren, Ushiromiya Maria, Yoshinomoto Genji, Granny Kumasawa, Fangzheng, Conan, and Kayin and Sain on duty.

According to the information provided by Sento, his father once said that he might stay up all night tonight, and Genji also said that Zangusu adjusted the evening schedule and let the chef Goda be on duty at the mansion.

So this should mean that Zangjiu also realized that this kind of discussion may last all night, so he specially adjusted the schedule and asked Chef Goda to stay for supper.

However, the prisoner killed Zangjiu, Liufufu, Wujiang and Louzuo, and killed Goda who was on duty, but he spared Concubine Xia, who was also resting in the mansion, and killed Concubine Xia who was on duty in the guest house Saine's...

Conan also has his own reasoning for this, that is... the prisoner killed five people in the mansion, and transported them to the gate of the warehouse. Sain found out that Sain was killed to avoid leaking, and then the prisoner sent the six corpses to the warehouse for storage, smashed their faces, locked the door, put the key back, and left.

But this also has a problem.

"Six people, six corpses. Ordinary normal people will probably die from exhaustion, not to mention that there was a storm last night."

Fangzheng spread his hands helplessly.

"Assuming that the other party really killed someone in the restaurant and then brought it to the warehouse——well, let's not worry about how the murderer killed the person, maybe he used a half-step madness with a smile, six corpses? Frankly speaking , I don’t think anyone in this place can do this except me.”

"Perhaps the murderer dragged the body to the door and pushed it into the warehouse on a trolley used to transport materials."

Conan naturally has his own ideas.

"After all, when we came here, didn't the servant named Jiayin just push a cart?"

"But we need evidence..."

After talking for a long time, the two didn't have any good clues or discoveries, so they had to go back to the living room again.

In the living room at the moment, the rest of the people are basically there, and everyone has a gloomy expression.

"What did Mr. Ushiromiya Kinzo say?"

Fangzheng looked at Concubine Youdaigong Xia, and asked, but Concubine Youdaigong Xia did not answer, but Youdaigong Eyu narrowed his eyes and spoke.

"There's no one in the study."

"nobody?"

"That's right."

While speaking, Youdai Gong Eyu looked at Youdai Gong Xia Concubine.

"Also, I want to ask, who was the last to see my father?"

"it's me."

Facing Eyu's question, Concubine Xia answered.

"This morning, I met my father in the study, ah, by the way, Genji, I will return this key to you."

While speaking, Concubine Xia handed the key back to Yuanci. Seeing this, Eva frowned.

"It's a little strange to say."

"strangeness?"

"That's right."

While speaking, Ewa took out a note from her pocket.

"According to Genji, there is only one entrance and exit to the study room, so when I saw my sister leave the study room this morning, I tried to make a prank... I put this note on the door of the study room, and then After discovering the bodies of Zangjiu and others, my sister and I went to the study again, and when we opened the door, the note was still stuck in the crack of the door."

"So you mean, no one has been in or out of the study during this period of time, right?"

Fang Zheng also immediately understood what Eyu meant, and the latter nodded.

"So, I have this idea, maybe my sister killed my father this morning after seeing him, and then hid the body..."

"I didn't do such a thing!"

However, before Eyu finished speaking, she was interrupted by Concubine Xia excitedly, and Zhu Zhixiang was also helping.

"That's right, why did mother do such a thing!"

"Okay, please calm down."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room became sinister again, Fangzheng hurriedly spoke out, and then he looked at Concubine Xia of the Right Daigong.

"Actually, I also have a question and want an answer."

"………what is the problem?"

"Mr. Ushiromiya Kinzo, are you really still alive?"

"you……………"

Hearing this, Concubine Xia's complexion changed.

"What do you mean? Don't you also suspect that I killed my father?"

"No, I just have this question very simply."

Fangzheng spread his hands.

"Because in fact, since I came to this island until now, I have never seen Ushiromiya Kinzo, nor have I heard his voice. I just heard you say that this person exists, but whether this person It really exists..."

"Speaking of..."

Hearing this, Ewa also thought about it.

"Yesterday we knocked on the door of my father's study several times and asked him about the letter and Beatrice, but we didn't get a response."

"It's ridiculous, I, Zangusu, Genji, and Dr. Nanjo have all met my father!!"

"But the testimony of the four of you is not worth admissible."

Facing Fangzheng's response, Concubine Xia's complexion changed again.

"what do you mean?"

"It's very simple. Among the cases I have handled, many of them are children who pretended to be alive when they were clearly dead in order to defraud pensions or pensions. And the four of you, as people with vested interests, are very It is easy to collude with each other. For example, Mr. Ushiromiya Kinzo is already dead, but you and your husband bought Dr. Nanjo and Mr. Genji for a certain purpose, and let them pretend that Mr. Kinzo is still alive... "

"A pack of nonsense!!"

Concubine Xia angrily interrupted Fang Zheng's speech.

"I did meet my father this morning, and then he said to me, 'You have engraved a one-winged vulture in your heart'... Do you want to deny what he said to me?!"

While talking, Concubine Xia suddenly picked up the gun and pointed it at Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng didn't respond at all.

"What you said has nothing to do with me. I only believe in evidence, not purely personal testimony. What the police need to solve a case is evidence. If you insist that Mr. Ushiromiya Kinzo is not dead, then I think To conduct a thorough investigation of the study... it should be no problem."

"…………………no problem."

Facing Fangzheng's request, Concubine Xia snorted coldly.

"Genji, take him to the study."

"...Yes, ma'am."

Facing Concubine Xia's request, Genji hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and then turned to Fangzheng.

"Mr. Fangzheng, please follow me."
