Chapter 2233 A Few Doubts (This Meow Is Now a Meow)
For Fangzheng and Conan, there are still many doubts about the Liuxuan Island incident so far.
The first question is, is Beatrice really a real person?
The clues so far prove that...it is very likely that this person really exists.
Because there is indeed an annex on Liuxuan Island, but Conan also said that it seems that no one has lived in that annex for more than ten years.
So thinking about it in reverse, this means that there were people living in the annex ten years ago.
Here comes the question, who was living in that annex at that time?
There is a second doubt, and that is... Yasuda Sayo.
Fang Zheng has never seen this person on the list.
But Conan gave the answer this time.
"I asked Mr. Rangji, and he said that Sayo was Saine's real name, and Saine was her name when she was a servant."
"So, Yasuda Sayo is actually Saine?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and thought.
"Then if that's the case, who is Jiayin?"
"Mr. Rangzhi said he was Sain's younger brother..."
"Impossible, there is no such number one person on the list on the island."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"Now the mystery of Yasuda Sashiro has been solved. Even if the servants do not use their real names, the number does not match. According to the survey results on the list, except for the Ushiro family on Liuxuan Island, the remaining The next ones are Genji Roogami, Sayo Yasuda, Granny Kumasawa, Chef Goda, Doctor Nanjo, these five names are listed."
Having said this, Fangzheng snapped his fingers.
"Now that the mystery of Yasuda Sayo has been solved, the remaining question is... who is Kayin?"
"this……………"
"It's impossible for him to come out of a crevice in the rock. I asked Lou Zuo. Jiayin has been here for a long time, which means that he is not a character who popped up suddenly for the murder."
"Don't Lou Zuo know Jiayin's true identity?"
"Maybe she doesn't care. After all, the servants on the island are appointed by Kinzo, and the others are not interested in taking care of these things. Strictly speaking, asking Kinzo is the best way, but... "
"He is dead."
Conan was also very helpless. Although Jin Zang was still locked in the study room during the game this time, after playing the game last week, the two knew that Jin Zang was dead, and it was likely that he would die before they came to Liuxuan Island. just die.
but……………
"Speaking of which, I remembered a very interesting thing."
"What's up?"
"In the game of last week, if you think about it carefully, we seem to have never seen Sain and Jiayin appearing in front of us at the same time."
"Hey?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Conan froze for a moment.
"There's none?"
"That's right."
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"You see, when we first came to the island, we saw Jiayin working in the garden at the gate, but we saw Sain when we entered the guest house to rest and salute."
"When we went to the beach for a picnic, Sayon went with us."
At this time, under Fang Zheng's reminder, Conan gradually came to his senses.
"However, when the rest of us were discussing the distribution of the estate in the room, no one saw Jiayin."
"The next time we saw Jiayin, it was when he told us to go to dinner."
"But Sain didn't show up at that time."
"Then after dinner, everyone returned to the inn. At this time, we were with Sayin, but we didn't see Jiayin..."
"The next day, after Sayin died, Jiayin appeared in front of us the whole time."
Having said this, Conan's eyes lit up, but soon, he discovered another doubtful point.
"Wait, so you mean, Sain and Jiayin are the same person?"
"Is this strange? Think about Mermaid Island. The island is not full of such nonsense things."
Fangzheng seemed very calm.
"But there is another problem in this way, that is, if the two of them are the same person, and they deliberately faked their deaths, then it means that they should have something to do with the real murderer. But on the second night, Jiayin was stabbed by a long nail into the chest, and died?"
"But we didn't actually witness Jiayin's death."
Fangzheng reminded me.
"You have to remember that at that time, Doctor Nanjo was in charge of bandaging Jiayin's wound, and then Zhu Zhixiang went with him. Later, we learned about Jiayin's death from Zhu Zhixiang and Doctor Nanjo, and we did not see the body with our own eyes. All in all... we should divert our investigation."
"Investigation direction?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng nodded.
"We have been focusing on the Ushiromiya clan before, but now it seems that Yasuda Sayo itself is the biggest doubt. However, about Yasuda Sayo, the Ushiromiya people must know not much, maybe Zhu Zhixiang will know more, but other people come to this island to gather once a year, and they certainly don't care about the servants on this island. Therefore, the best way is to start with the people who live on this island Investigate...Mr. Genji, Dr. Nanjo and Mrs. Xiong Ze. They have been on this island for the longest time, and if they have any secrets, they will definitely not be able to hide them. Maybe they need their help to hide something in turn. some secrets..."
"I see."
Conan immediately knew what to do.
"Leave it to me here."
"I leave it to you. Anyway, your ability to pretend to be stupid has always been top-notch."
"Who are you talking about pretending to be stupid... Wait a minute."
At this moment, Conan suddenly remembered something.
"Mr. Fangzheng, if Sain and Jiayin are the same person... Do you remember? Last week we found that Mr. Rangzhi likes Sain, and Zhu Zhixiang likes Jiayin..."
"Men and women take it all, or brothers and sisters take it all."
Fangzheng nodded silently.
"It's someone who can play."
Next, the story continued. As before, after dinner, Maria took out the belief that Beatrice gave her, and everyone started arguing again because of this.
"The old man would actually give up his ring, it's absolutely impossible!"
Ushiromiya Zangjiu said loudly, and Ushiromiya Ewa also thought about it.
"According to the literal interpretation, this is the test given to us by the old man."
"Wait... Normally, that's not how you understand it."
Hearing everyone's discussion, Fangzheng was also speechless. Last week he was just observing, but this week Fangzheng decided to directly intervene.
"From what you say, if this ring has been with Mr. Jinzang and it is impossible to leave, then logically speaking, shouldn't someone attacked Mr. Jinzang, snatched this ring, and left this letter behind?" ?"
“……………………”
Hearing Fangzheng's reminder, everyone was taken aback for a moment, then they immediately stood up and ran towards the study.
A group of mentally retarded?
Looking at the figures of the people going away, Fangzheng also shook his head speechlessly. Generally speaking, shouldn't it be like this according to the understanding of normal people?
So, is Ushiromiya Kinzo still alive?
This question will soon be answered.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng also stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
"My lord, my lord, please open the door!!"
When Fangzheng came to the door of the study, he saw Youdai Gongzangjiu was knocking on the door vigorously, but there was no response from the door.
"Hurry up and open the door, what if father is really attacked by someone!"
At this time, Ewa also spoke, and facing Ewa's proposal, everyone else nodded. Only Fangzheng noticed that Ushiromiya Kurojiu's expression was slightly hesitant, but he finally took out the key and opened the room. Door.
"Father!"
As the door opened, everyone rushed into the study too impatiently, but ——— there was no one inside.
After that, everyone searched the entire villa inside and out, but they still couldn't find Ushiromiya Kinzo. In the end, everyone reluctantly returned to the room to gather. As expected, as Fangzheng expected, soon, other People began to question his Youdai Gongzangjiu and Youdai Gongxia Concubine, wondering if they killed their father, and then pretended that his father was not dead. The two of them naturally firmly denied this, and they would not let go.
"We didn't kill Father, and even if we did, what's the use of writing this letter?"
"Perhaps for inheritance?"
Fangzheng yawned and looked at the two of them again.
"After all, such a letter, and the handwriting is not Mr. Jinzang's. Legally, this kind of thing cannot be used as a will. Taking a step back, even if it is really written according to the above, find that What kind of gold is the head of the family, as long as it goes to court, without the notarization and statement of Mr. Ushiromiya Kinzo, this letter will have no legal effect. According to the law, Mr. Ushiromiya Zangjiu naturally has the priority of inheritance as the eldest son of."
"That's right."
Hearing this, Ushiromiya Zangjiu also nodded.
"So, why would I do such a thing!"
"But that's under the condition that my elder brother has the right to inherit."
At this time, Ushiromiya Ewa also spoke.
"If my father makes a separate will and lets other people inherit the Ushiromiya family, it will be very disadvantageous to my elder brother. So in order to avoid this situation, my elder brother killed my father, destroyed the will, and pretended to be The golden witch wrote this letter, so as long as the big brother finds the gold, the rest of us can only recognize the big brother's inheritance..."
"You are utter nonsense!"
At this time, Concubine Xia also stood up angrily.
"Zangjiu wouldn't do such a thing!"
"Then let's search your room. If you weren't the murderer who killed Dad, there wouldn't be anything strange in it."
"You, how could you do this!?"
At this moment, Concubine Xia's complexion was pale, while Ushiro Miya Ewa stared at her tit for tat.
"Of course we can, listen carefully, we are the members of the Ushiromiya family, and you are just a child-bearing machine, you are not allowed to engrave even a one-winged vulture, so you have no right to dictate to us! !"
"you you……………"
Facing Eyu's speech, Concubine Xia trembled with anger, and at this moment, Liufufu also stood up and looked at Zangjiu.
"That's right, brother, Dad's whereabouts are unknown now, and you have been taking care of Dad here, but you don't even know his whereabouts... We really doubt that you have done something you shouldn't do... ...don't mind if we go to your room and have a look."
"........."
At this moment, Zangjiu's face was livid, but after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded.
However, in the room of Cangjiu in Youdai Palace, everyone found a piece—a gold brick as expected.
"This is the evidence!"
Ushiromiya Ewa pointed at the gold dress, and stared at Zangjiu angrily.
"So it really was you who killed your father, brother, and then wrote that inexplicable letter! As long as you take out this gold brick and say that you found it yourself, then no one can object to your inheritance right!"
"no!"
Faced with the angrily questioned by the crowd, Zangjiu also panicked at this moment.
"This is indeed Dad's gold, but it's the gold that I reclaimed from Dad before. I used to be the same as you, I don't know if the gold that Dad said exists, so I deliberately opened up the joints. , found a relationship and recovered a gold brick that my father once sold..."
"Do you think we will believe such nonsense?"
Liufufu also spoke at this time.
"No matter what you say, among us brothers and sisters, only you have been living in Liuxuan Island, so you must have killed Dad and then stolen his gold... No matter what you say, it's useless, Save it and explain it to the police!!”
"No, that's really not the case!!"
At this time, Zangjiu also roared angrily, finally he made up his mind and sighed.
"Well, I admit that my father has indeed been dead for a while, but I really didn't kill him, my father died of a heart attack...it's true, Doctor Nanjo and Genji can prove it! ! It’s just that in order to determine the right of succession, I talked with them in private and asked them to help me keep this secret for the time being………”
Hearing this, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows.
Very good, it seems that one of the doubts has been solved.
