Conan: Money Talks

"Is there anyone else who has this key besides you?"Mouri Kogoro looked around at everyone and thought that the suspect might be someone who has this key besides the butler.

"I'm the only one who has the key to this door"

"In this case, this room is a secret room."Kogoro stroked his chin.

"It seems like this is suicide."Hatamoto Akiyo said nonchalantly. She is Hatamoto Natsue's sister and the granddaughter of the deceased. It's just that it's so ironic to say such words in such a nonchalant tone.

Except for Hatamoto Natsue, this family is not a good egg. No wonder the old man Hatamoto Gozo would place the future of the Hatamoto family on a weak woman like Natsue. Miyamoto Han thought calmly in his heart

"It's not suicide, because there's one thing missing." Maori Kogoro said

"What is that?"

"No weapon was found in the victim's room.

"Tsk, maybe the murder weapon was made of ice or something like that, doesn't this happen often in detective novels?" Qiu Jiang crossed his arms,"Right, Mr. Miyamoto Han"

"Ms. Qiu Jiang, just as Uncle Maori said, this case is indeed a homicide. Besides, if the murder weapon was really made of something like ice, there should be some traces left in the room at this time. So don't take detective novels as reality."

"Wha…what?"

"And you see, there is blood on the threshold, which means Mr. Hatamoto was killed near the door, and then the murderer hurriedly took the murder weapon and fled."Miyamoto Han squatted down and pointed at the threshold. The blood on it had dried up.

"But if it was a homicide, how did the murderer lock the door from the outside that can only be locked from the inside?" asked Shoji Hatamoto.

Conan thought that the time to show off was coming, and was about to interrupt, but Xiaolan covered his mouth,"Shh, Conan, you can't disturb your dad and the others from solving the case." Conan's face was full of black lines, I'm not disturbing them, I'm the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, how did I end up in such a situation?

"This is not difficult, Uncle Maori, please explain it to everyone." Miyamoto

Han winked at Maori. Maori Kogoro immediately understood."I know, Mr. Hatamoto, he locked the door himself."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present was shocked,"What do you mean? Can a dead person lock the door himself?"

"No, Mr. Hatamoto did not die immediately after being stabbed. Instead, he fled back to his room and locked the door. The purpose of locking the door was simple, which was to prevent the murderer from injuring him again. However, he died from excessive blood loss."Kogoro explained immediately.

"Uncle is indeed the famous detective Maori Kogoro!"Miyamoto Han flattered him.

"Hahaha, that's nothing." Maori Kogoro laughed with his tongue sticking out exaggeratedly, looking very proud.

Then he said seriously:"However, in this case, the scope of the murderer is very wide. Except for me, Han, Xiaolan, Conan, Miss Xiajiang who were dining in the restaurant at the time, and Suzuki, the butler who was cleaning the dishes nearby, the other seven people are all suspects. Maori pondered.

"By the way, Suzuki, did you find anything strange at the scene? Maori Kogoro asked

"I remember now." Butler Suzuki took out a corsage from his pocket and said,"I found this at the door."

"Hey." Xia Jiang ran forward and took a look at the corsage."That was the corsage I personally helped Xiao Wu put on. How could it be……"

As soon as Xia Jiang said this, Kogoro and the others turned their eyes to Hatamoto Takeshi who was standing at the back of the crowd.

"That's why you showed up at the restaurant so late."After hearing this, Qiu Jiang immediately seemed to have caught something and said to Hatamoto Takeshi

"No, sister, you misunderstood." Xiao Wu scratched his head,"At that time, I was still thinking about something in my room, so I"

Before Xiao Wu could finish his words, he was interrupted again.

"Xiao Wu, you haven't given up yet." Xia Jiang's aunt, Hatamoto Mariko, narrowed her eyes slightly,"I heard it at the door just now.You and your father were arguing. I think you must be scared. In fact, you are the son of Zaishiro Yufu!" Mariko pointed at Xiaowu and ordered him around, while Xiaowu turned his head away.

The other five members of the Hatamoto family seemed scared when they heard the name, and looked at Xiaowu with wide eyes.

Seeing that no one spoke, Kogoro Mori took the initiative to ask,"Who is Zaishiro Yufu?"

"That was the chairman of Zaishiro Industry who committed suicide ten years ago when his father seized his business. The Mediterranean man who spoke was Mariko's husband, with cold sweat on his head.

Hatamoto Kitaro continued,"I heard that a year later, his wife also died of illness, and his only son was sent to an orphanage, and later, he became Xiaowu." He focused his attention on Xiaowu again.

"Yes, I am the son of Yufu Zaicheng, but... I didn't kill my grandfather!"

"You killed your grandfather just to avenge your father, right?"Qiu Jiang said in an overbearing tone.

"He must have killed her! He deliberately approached our Hatamoto family and Xia Jiang for the inheritance of the Hatamoto family!"Qi Jiang's husband Hatamoto Ryuo also took the opportunity to shout

"Calm down first, Xiao Wu, he is not the murderer, the real murderer is someone else!" Gong Benhan suddenly stood up

"What did you say?"Hatamoto Mariko asked

"The truth is hidden in this corsage that carries a hidden murderous intent!"

"There was his corsage at the scene, isn't this irrefutable evidence?" Hatamoto Ryuo looked at Miyamoto Han with contempt and said,���I've been unhappy for a long time.

"Really? That only proves that your IQ is limited to this level."Miyamoto Han said with disdain to Hatamoto Ryuo's contempt, then squatted down and pointed at the marks on the ground."Look, there are obvious traces of someone wiping the ground."

"What does this mean? It can only mean that Xiao Wu was afraid that the matter would be exposed after he killed the old man, so he wiped off the bloodstains and made us think that it happened indoors."Hatamoto Ryuo saw the disdain in Miyamoto Han's eyes and became even more angry. He pointed at Xiao Wu and said

"That's really strange. Since they have time to mop the floor, how come they don't have time to pick up the corsage that was dropped?" Miyamoto Han looked at Hatamoto Ryuo teasingly. This family is clearly targeting Xiao Wu.

"What... do you mean……"Maori Kogoro's eyes widened,"Someone deliberately left the corsage here, trying to frame Xiaowu?"
