Yuya observed the situation on the ground and walked into the door carefully.

Hattori Heiji stopped the others at the door to prevent them from destroying the scene.

Yuya squatted down to check and shook his head regretfully: "It's dead. Judging from the state of the body, the time of death is about 40 to 50 minutes."

Mao Lilan opened her mouth and was about to say that she would call the police, but suddenly remembered that she was on the boat and it was far away from the land. The police could not come in a short time.

Yuya glanced at Conan who was lying on the floor observing something, and sighed in his heart. Sure enough, someone was dead. He turned around and asked the butler: "Based on the situation just now, you should be the first to discover the person, right? Did you see other people at that time?"

The butler shook his head: "No, I didn't see anyone when I came. I knocked on the door for a while, and the master didn't respond, so I opened the door with the key, and then I saw..."

"I see." Yuya nodded slightly, "Was the door locked at that time?"

The butler said: "Yes, and if it is locked from the inside, there is no way to open the door without this key." The butler said, and took out a key from his pocket.

Yuya looked around the room and found that except for the door, the only window here was the kind of decorative window that could not be opened, and there was no other place to enter and exit.

"The door is locked, and the window cannot be opened," Yuya looked at everyone and said slowly, "In this case, this is a secret room."

"Secret, secret room?!" Everyone was surprised.

Akiyo Rakumoto made a bold guess: "So, did grandpa commit suicide?"

"No," Hattori Heiji took advantage of the time just now to observe the room, and immediately refuted, "Grandpa Rakumoto died after being stabbed in the abdomen. If he committed suicide, where did the knife go?"

Akiyo Rakumoto's husband, Kameo Rakumoto, smiled with gloating: "Maybe it was a knife made of ice? Isn't this a common plot in mystery novels? When the ice melts, the knife will naturally disappear."

Yuya glanced at him and said lightly: "Is it necessary for a person who commits suicide to go through so much trouble?"

Kaeo Rakumoto couldn't help but sighed after being refuted.

Rakumoto Natsue crossed his arms and said calmly, "Grandpa must be playing tricks. He has long suspected that the people present coveted his property and wished he would die sooner.

Of course, the people I mentioned do not include Natsue."

Rakumoto Natsue, who was still immersed in the panic and sadness of his grandfather's murder, immediately showed dissatisfaction when he heard his sister's words: "Sister, what are you talking about!"

The second child, Rakumoto Shoji, pinched his chin and said seriously, "If it was the old man, he might really do this."

Seeing that many people agreed that it was suicide, Rakumoto Kameo immediately shouted excitedly: "Suicide, this must be suicide!"

"No, this is obviously murder!" Suddenly, a voice sounded below.

"What?" Everyone looked over in surprise, only to see Conan squatting at the door with a smug expression on his face.

He pointed at the door frame and said, "Look, there is a lot of blood on the door frame. If the old man locked the door and committed suicide, the blood would not be left here in this way."

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw several complete drops of blood at the bottom of the door frame.

"Also," Conan pointed to the corridor near the door, "there are some parallel bloodstains here, which should be traces left after being wiped."

Everyone looked again and saw a pool of blood on the carpet that was wiped off on purpose.

Conan raised his head and said, "If it was really suicide, wouldn't these two bloodstains be unreasonable?"

"I see," Hattori Heiji looked back and forth between the body and the bloodstains and observed the way the body fell.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head, and he touched his chin and analyzed quickly: "The old man should have been stabbed when he opened the door, and he retreated to the room and locked the door to avoid the murderer's pursuit, but he didn't expect the wound to be too deep, and finally died of excessive bleeding."

Conan nodded in agreement, he also thought so.

"Then who killed the old man?" Hashimoto Kameo asked unhappily.

If the old man didn't commit suicide but was murdered, then things will become troublesome, and it may affect his inheritance. Hashimoto Group is not an ordinary small company.

Hattori Heiji paused and laughed dryly: "This, I don't know yet."

Hashimoto Kameo curled his lips in disdain: "Tsk, you look so confident, can you do it? I think it's suicide, don't worry about it."

"No," YuyaHe said in a deep voice, "This is definitely murder, and..."

He slowly swept his eyes across the faces of the members of the Hashimoto family outside the door, and slowly said: "The time of death was 40 to 50 minutes ago, which was around 7 o'clock in the evening, and at that time..."

As he spoke, he pointed at several people: "I, Mio, Sonoko, Xiaolan, Conan, Hattori and Toyama, as well as Miss Xiajiang, and the housekeeper who was also in the restaurant preparing dinner at that time, none of us had time to commit the crime."

"In this way, the murderer must be among the seven of you who were not in the restaurant at that time!"

The people of the Hashimoto family, Hashimoto Kameo and Hashimoto Akie, Hashimoto Kitaro, Hashimoto Mariko and his wife, their son Hashimoto Ichiro, the second son Hashimoto Shoji, and Hashimoto Natsue's newlywed husband, Hashimoto Takeshi, a total of seven people.

Yuya said calmly: "The murderer is undoubtedly one of you seven."

Everyone's face was gloomy, nervous or terrified, and they all looked at Yuya speechless. The joy of the possible division of the inheritance due to the death of the clan leader was also washed away.

Seeing that the seven people were silent, Yuya turned to look at the butler and asked: "Mr. Butler, did you notice anything special when you found the body?"

The butler was about to shake his head, but suddenly thought of something and took out a flower from his pocket: "Speaking of which, I picked up this flower at the door."

"Flower?"

Rakumoto Natsue felt familiar when he saw the flower. He came closer to identify it carefully for a few times, and his face suddenly turned pale: "This, isn't this the flower I helped Awu put up?"

Everyone subconsciously looked at Rakumoto Takeshi standing at the end. Rakumoto Takeshi also had a shocked expression on his face, as if he didn't know anything about this matter at all.

Rakumoto Akiyo crossed his arms and sneered, "So that's why you came to the restaurant so late."

Rakumoto Takeshi denied repeatedly, "No, sister, you misunderstood. I was hiding in my room thinking about things at that time..."

"Don't lie, Takeshi," Rakumoto Mariko interrupted him loudly, "I happened to pass by and heard you and dad arguing in the room!"

"What, what!" Rakumoto Takeshi, whose lie was exposed, immediately showed a horrified expression.

"I was really scared when I heard you talking!" Rakumoto Mariko looked at Rakumoto Takeshi with a squint, "Your true identity is the son of the financial hero!"

Rakumoto Takeshi's face turned pale, he lowered his head, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Huh?"

Hearing Rakumoto Mariko's words, everyone, including Rakumoto Natsue, showed a shocked expression.

Mariko Hashimoto suddenly revealed the true identity of Hashimoto Takeshi. Yuya and others didn't know their relationship and were confused.

The people of the Hashimoto family were shocked. It was obvious that the surname of Finance represented a special meaning to the Hashimoto family.

Yuya, Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other.

Yuya looked at Hashimoto Kitaro, who looked the most honest, and asked, "Who is that Finance Yongfu?"

Hashimoto Kitaro was already sweating profusely and didn't want to explain. Seeing that no one else wanted to help him out, he made up his mind and told the story of Finance Yongfu.

Finance Yongfu was the chairman of the financial group whose company was taken away by Hatamoto Gozo ten years ago and went bankrupt, and finally committed suicide; then a year later, his wife also died of illness.

It is said that their only son was sent to an orphanage somewhere.

Rakumoto Kitaro looked at Rakumoto Takeshi with trembling eyes: "But I didn't expect that the child was actually Takeshi..."

Rakumoto Natsue couldn't believe it. She grabbed Rakumoto Takeshi's hand and asked: "Takeshi, is this true?"

Rakumoto Takeshi was still panicking because his identity was suddenly exposed. When he heard Rakumoto Natsue's call, he came back to his senses and said with gritted teeth: "Yes, I am the son of Finance Yongfu, Finance Takehiko!"

Rakumoto Natsue widened her eyes. As the future heir of the Rakumoto family, she naturally knew a thing or two about what her family had done, but she didn't expect...

She didn't expect that her newlywed husband was the only son left by the finance family whose family was destroyed by her grandfather.

The sudden change made Rakumoto Natsue confused and didn't know what to do.

Seeing his wife's look, Takeshi Rakumoto was also heartbroken, and said with a painful face: "But, but I..."

"I know!" Rakumoto Kameno suddenly jumped out, pointing at Rakumoto and shouting, "You deliberately approached Xia Jiang just to sneak into the Rakumoto family, and then find an opportunity to kill the old man for revenge, right? The murderer is you!"

Rakumoto Xia Jiang's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Rakumoto Takeshi's face changed: "No! I amThe son of the financial hero is good, but I didn't kill the old man! "

But Rakumoto Natsue obviously didn't believe such words. She looked at Rakumoto Takeshi sadly, covered her face and cried and ran away.

"Wait, Natsue!" Rakumoto Takeshi was about to chase him, but was grabbed by Rakumoto Shoji's arm.

Hatamoto Shoji's face was cold: "Boy, I thought you were a man with backbone, it seems that I misjudged you."

"Uncle Shoji?" Rakumoto Takeshi looked at Hatamoto Shoji in surprise, and seemed to be a little confused about his uncle who was quite optimistic about him on weekdays, and suddenly had such a cold attitude.

Rakumoto Kameno said proudly: "You didn't expect your flowers to fall at the scene? Now you are exposed, right?"

Rakumoto Takeshi argued loudly: "I don't know why the flowers fell at the scene! "

But the Rakumoto family obviously would not listen to his explanation, and shouted that he was the murderer and wanted to hand him over to the police.

After watching the excitement for a while, Conan and Hattori Heiji opened their mouths to help Rakumoto Takeshi explain, but were stopped by Yuya.

The two looked at Yuya in confusion, only to get a silent shake of the head.

Does he seem to have other plans? The two understood after a little thought, closed their mouths, and quietly watched Rakumoto Takeshi being escorted away.

After the outsiders left, Hattori Heiji asked Yuya in confusion: "Why don't you let me speak? "

According to the housekeeper, the flower fell on the corridor, and the blood on the ground was obviously wiped by someone.

The flower was pinned on the chest. If it fell during the crime, then Takeshi Ryūmoto would definitely see the flower when he wiped the blood on the ground;

Similarly, it is impossible that it fell while wiping the blood. After wiping the blood, he would definitely check it roughly and would definitely see the flower.

Therefore, it is impossible to determine that Takeshi Ryūmoto is the murderer based on the flowers that fell at the scene.

Yuya naturally knew this, but he still said: "We haven't locked in who the murderer is yet. Since the other party wants to frame Takeshi Ryūmoto, why not take advantage of the situation and see what the other party wants to do."

Hattori Heiji and Conan immediately understood: "You want to fish?"

Yuya smiled and nodded.

Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha looked at each other in confusion, and couldn't help asking: "What are you guys talking about?"

Miyano Shiho smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yuya naturally has his plan. "

The three of them looked at her in unison.

Miyano Shiho was stunned and tilted her head in confusion.

Toyama Kazuha leaned close to Maori Ran's ear and whispered, "Why do I feel that there seems to be something wrong between Mio-chan and Yuya? They are not like ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend. Do you trust him so much?"

Mauri Ran smiled and leaned close to Toyama Kazuha's ear and whispered.

Toyama Kazuha's eyes suddenly widened and her face flushed.

Toyama Kazuha blushed, looked at Miyano Shiho in shock, and stammered, "You mean, the two of them...actually...ah? "

Ran Maori nodded seriously.

Toyama Kazuha's eyes widened, and she looked at Miyano Shiho with admiration.

Miyano Shiho: ??? No, Xiaolan, are you talking to Kazuha about something inappropriate for children? Why is she blushing like this? And what does that look mean?

Why does she seem to be saying something like "You actually walked on the adult path without my knowledge..."

Miyano Shiho was very upset, and felt that her friends had exposed some non-existent secret.

Several girls were talking, and the other three boys naturally didn't pay attention.

They were discussing something on the side.

"I found bread crumbs in the blood on the ground." Conan said. He was the smallest, and just took advantage of the gap when everyone was talking to search the room boldly.

"Bread crumbs?" Yuya lowered his head, and Conan held the bread crumbs in front of him with a handkerchief, "What is this? ! "

Conan nodded solemnly.

Hattori Heiji came over to take a look and said, "If it's just bread crumbs, there's no way to prove anything, right? Tonight we're having French food, which contains bread, and many people have eaten bread."
