Conan’s Corpse Picker

The group of people looked at him doubtfully, and Mouri Kogoro was confused: "What do you mean?"

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Xia: "What this little detective said is absolutely right - everything I did was to avenge Kentaro.

"A few years ago, my son Kentaro was still a little-known pianist. He met Fumiko Hotta at a concert, and they became a couple and dated for a long time.

"Kentaro liked her very much, but he never dared to propose marriage because he didn't have a stable enough income at that time. He could only keep working hard, keep improving his skills, and look for opportunities... Finally, 5 years ago, he got married in a He stood out in a piano competition and was recognized by the music industry.

"Kentaro happily proposed to Fumiko Hota, but what he was waiting for was not a happy life together for the two of them, but a cold rejection from President Hota."

"Uh..." As someone who also has a daughter, Mouri Kogoro actually understands the unlucky President Hotta a little bit, "Isn't it normal for the father-in-law to dislike his son-in-law? It's okay to refuse him once, just come back a few times. ”

"Oh, that would be great if that were the case." The butler smiled bitterly, "In order to impress President Hotta, Kentaro knelt down in front of him and begged. However, that guy Hotta not only remained unmoved, but also stepped on Kentaro's finger. ”

"!" Suzuki Sonoko shrank her hands and hugged her delicate fingers tightly.

The butler was also looking down at his hands, and he said painfully: "Kentaro has always regarded the piano as his life, but the devil destroyed his hands, and since then, he has never been able to play the piano again.

"And that woman also left the frustrated Kentaro and left cruelly. In desperation, my son drove down the winding mountain road and the car crashed, killing everyone.

"I didn't know about these things at the time. It wasn't until I attended Kentaro's funeral that I learned that such a tragedy had happened to him."

Jiang Xia held her chin and looked out the window: "So you are determined to avenge him?"

"Yes." The housekeeper said, "I am a well-behaved office worker father who doesn't understand music and seldom communicates with his son... When Kentaro was alive, I ignored him. So after his death, I will at least Avenge him and send those two bastards to hell to make amends to him!

“So as soon as the funeral was over, I immediately quit my job, worked hard to receive housekeeping training, and changed my name to apply for the job.

"Finally, two years ago, I was recognized by President Hotta and became the steward here."

"..." Mouri Kogoro was shocked and counted the time. He felt that if he had this kind of perseverance, he would succeed in anything he did. "So you have learned new techniques for three years and worked for President Hotta for two years. Just to kill two people?"

"I didn't want to stay under him for so long." The butler said helplessly, "But after I applied for the job as a butler, I found that only President Hotta lived here alone. Hotta Fumiko had already ran away from home a few years ago."

“I spent two years trying to find out her whereabouts and finally found out her address recently.

“President Hotta’s birthday was coming soon, so I made up my mind to use this birthday party as a stage for revenge.

“I first sent an invitation to Hota Fumiko in his name, saying that I was in poor health and getting old, and missed her very much, hoping she would come back.

“Then I ‘inadvertently’ revealed President Hotta’s recent preferences, so that the second young master who wanted to ask him for money fell in love and prepared the bottle of old rye whiskey.

"You will know everything about what happens next."

Having said this, the housekeeper also looked out the window with a face filled with relief: "Finally all my wishes have come true."

"Where did it come true?" Suzuki Sonoko didn't understand. "Didn't Miss Fumiko go down the mountain to call the police? Did you decide to let her go?"

The butler's lips curled up and he revealed a mysterious smile: "Go down the mountain to call the police? Ha, I'm not afraid to tell you now - once she gets in that car, all my revenge plans will be successful. "

The two female high school students were stunned for a moment and then reacted: "Did you do something in that car?!"

"That's right. Once the vehicle drives away, the death mechanism I set up will be activated." The housekeeper sighed, "She should be dead like my son now."

As he said something, he thought of something and looked at Jiang Xia and Conan: "I would like to thank you for helping me find Miss Wenzi to drive there, otherwise this plan would not have gone so smoothly."

"But..." Mao Lilan thought of the way Hota Fumiko held the necklace and pendant last night, and couldn't help but said, "But you are wrong! Miss Fumiko is still single until now, and she regards your son's photos as life. Just as important, she can't be the ruthless person you say - is there any misunderstanding? "

The housekeeper gritted his teeth and said: "Impossible! That's just a woman who started to be in trouble and finally gave up. She is not as long-lasting as you said. If it weren't for her, my son would never have ended up in such a miserable end!"

Mao Lilan thought about Miss Wenzi who might have been buried at the bottom of the mountain, and she was so anxious that she almost shed tears.

And the next moment, she suddenly saw a figure walking into the house, and her tears really fell - this time it was because of fear.

"Ghost..." Mao Lilan shivered and backed away, bumping into Jiang Xia, "Ghost!!"

"!" Jiang Xia turned around, and then showed a disappointed look - there was nothing wrong with it, it was just Miss Hota Fumiko who walked in alive.

“?!” The housekeeper was shocked and looked at her in disbelief, “Impossible, why are you still alive?!”

“…” Fumiko Horita looked sad, and there was a hint of confusion in her sadness.

After a moment of silence, she did not answer the housekeeper, but looked at Jiang Xia first: “I followed what you said, and planned to drive the car past the window, and then slowly park the car and come back here… But after entering the garage, I found that it was empty, there was no car at all.”

Conan was stunned: “What did you say?!”

“I said I didn’t find the car.” Fumiko Horita glanced at the child who seemed to be hard of hearing, and repeated it patiently, “I thought you described the wrong place, so I looked around the garage, and other parking places… But there was no car in the entire backyard. Are you sure that the car was parked in the back garage?”

“Of course I am sure.” Suzuki Sonoko interrupted in surprise, “Just now I saw a car passing by the window and driving out.”

Fumiko Horita: “?”

The two stared at each other blankly.
