Chapter 1164 There Is a Traitor in the Family (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

"Mr. Ogawa, the main purpose of our visit this time is to find clues about Karasuma Renye."

Outside the ward, members of the Ogawa family were waiting anxiously, but inside the ward there was peace.

After seeing that the old man's mental state had improved a lot, Sakaki also revealed his purpose:

"Did Mr. Ogawa Kusakuchi ever say anything about Karasuma Renye's hiding place back then?"

In the final analysis, Sakaki Cheng and others came to Gunma County on this trip just to find the headquarters of Karasuma Renya.

Unfortunately, Renye Karasuma did such a good job of keeping secret that even his close associates didn't know where he was hiding. In addition, Mr. Adachi detonated the bomb after a disagreement, so there was no chance for him to torture him to extract a confession.

But then again, if the location of the headquarters could be found so easily, could Renya Karasuma still be free to this day?

"Hideout"

Yoshio Ogawa handed the porridge bowl to his wife and recalled it carefully:

"It's such a long time ago. What my grandfather said to me happened 50 years ago. I can't remember some details clearly, but...but"

"But what?"

"But my grandfather seems to have mentioned Karasuma Renye's whereabouts."

Under the surprised looks of Sakaki and others, Ogawa Yoshio said slowly:

"Since Karasuma Renye launched the mutiny, he entered the Imperial Palace. Later, when the situation stabilized, he returned to his hometown, Nagano Prefecture. It was during this time that my grandfather took the opportunity to collect evidence about him, but Karasu Marurenya was very vigilant. He did not ask for any position. The outside world only knew that he was a rich man. Not long after that, my grandfather left the family alone and never came back. Before leaving, he told me Karasuma Renye is building something in Nara Prefecture."

"Nara Prefecture?"

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but interjected:

"Isn't that near Osaka? Karasuma Renya's headquarters is in Nara Prefecture?"

"I'm not sure about that."

Ogawa Yoshio shook his head:

"You know better than me what kind of character Karasuma Renya is. The information my grandfather received was that Karasuma Renya started a project in Nara Prefecture, and it was only a year after the project was completed. Karasuma was 99 years old at the time. Renye passed away at his home in Nagano Prefecture, and I have never heard anything about him since then.”

"Hattori, don't worry, Karasuma Renya's email address is from Tottori Prefecture."

Conan put his little hand on his chin, frowning and thinking hard:

"Although Renya Karasuma's use of a phone number belonging to Tottori Prefecture does not mean that he is hiding in Tottori Prefecture, it is also a possibility."

"In the past few months, we have gone to Nagano Prefecture and found the Dusk Annex, and then to Gunma Prefecture and found the villa Karasuma Renye left in his early years. But what is the result?"

"These places are all used to confuse us! Just like the tombs of doubt placed around the tombs of ancient emperors, it seems that we have gained a lot of information from them, but in fact we still cannot threaten Renya Karasuma!"

"yes."

Ogawa Yoshio nodded and said sadly:

"This is Renya Karasuma's usual method, which makes the investigators go through all kinds of troubles, travel north and south, wasting a lot of time, but in the end they still find nothing. Can you tell me how my grandfather died?"

"he"

Sakaki sighed:

"Mr. Ogawa Kusakuchi was shot to death. His body is in the deep well behind the old school building. According to our speculation, Karasuma Renye should have planted an informant in the Ogawa family for the purpose of monitoring you."

"impossible!"

With a 'pop' sound, the crutch hit the tiles heavily. The old woman who had been sitting in front of the hospital bed and listening quietly said with great anger:

"The lineage of adopted sons continues to this day. Every family member is trustworthy. They are all my descendants. I watched them grow up. How can there be someone like Karasuma Renye?"

The righteous man’s lineage?

Sakaki raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Are there other branches of the Ogawa family?"

"Of course, although grandpa loves his adopted son the most, it does not mean that he is the only grandson."

The old woman snorted:

"Other branches have moved away from Gunma County. Although we have contact, the exchanges are not close. Over the past few decades, the adopted son has always wanted to fulfill my grandfather's last wish and teach his descendants to be knowledgeable and courteous, both inside and outside the family. We are united as one, and there can be no evil spirits!”

"With all due respect, we came to Gunma County the day before yesterday, and your husband slipped and fell down the stairs that night. Isn't it strange?"

Squinting his eyes, Sakaki reminded the old woman:

"I hope you will think about it carefully. Is it true that there are no outsiders in the Ogawa family from Mr. Ogawa's time to now?"

Hearing this, the old woman's lips trembled, her skinny hands tightly grasped the crutches, and she felt very uneasy inside.

She was thinking about the 'truth' of Sakaki's words.

Yoshio Ogawa has early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, and this disease requires care to prevent the elderly from doing irreversible things when their thoughts are confused.

The old woman is old, so there is no problem in her ability to move independently, but it is a bit difficult for her to take care of someone, so the Ogawa family hired a nurse from the hospital to take care of Yoshio Ogawa's daily life.

besides

The Ogawa family itself has butlers, and has done so for decades.

If there really is a mole in the family.

The old woman didn't dare to think any more. She turned her head and met her husband's eyes lying on the hospital bed.

"There are indeed a few unrelated people in the Ogawa family, but they are not outsiders."

After pondering for a long time, the old woman slowly said:

"When you came in, you should have seen the woman standing behind me. Her name is Akutagawa Funa, who specializes in family affairs. She is 79 years old this year, the same age as me. She was only 15 years old when she came to the Ogawa family, and it has been 64 years. No matter what, I don't believe that she is a subordinate of Karasuma Renya."

"In addition to her, her daughter and granddaughter also work for the Ogawa family. They are outside the door at the moment. If Funa is fine, her children must be fine."

"In addition, the only people who are not related to the Ogawa family by blood are an old gardener, two drivers, three chefs and two nurses. Each of them has worked in the Ogawa family for many years. In my eyes, they are no different from family members."

Good guy.

Sakaki Makoto's expression became a little subtle for a while.

After counting with his fingers, there are 11 family members who are not related by blood here. How dare you say that there are no outsiders?

There are suspects everywhere, okay? !

"Ahem"

After listening to this, Ogawa Yoshio's face was slightly embarrassed:

"Mr. Sakaki, I know you are a detective. Since you suspect there is a traitor in the Ogawa family, can I ask you to investigate?"

"Of course, no problem. This is also one of the purposes of our coming here."
