Stay away from Conan

Chapter 854 The encounter back then

"Detective Akechi?"

Noticing Gao Yuan's condition at this moment, Mitarai Munexu couldn't help but ask. At the same time, after putting away the cross-shaped gem in his hand, he stepped forward and checked Gao Yuan's condition——

"fine……"

In this regard, Gao Yuan, who felt his body was extremely weak and knew that the side effects of his "power" were taking effect, forced himself not to just rest and fall asleep, so he couldn't help but explain:

"I just spent too much effort and am a little tired."

After all, using that iron rod, especially the force used to break the short sword blade at the end of the duel with Mitarai Souhi, was a power that was completely impossible for him to use.

"Really……"

In response to this statement, Mitarai Munexu nodded, because he could see that Gao Yuan's current state indeed seemed to consume too much——

"But I really didn't expect that Detective Akechi, in addition to having a good level of swordsmanship, is also involved in throwing weapons, right?"

"And, after doing this, even if that scumbag wants to tell this kind of thing, he will not let anyone believe it because there is no evidence. Probably, that guy will choose to disappear later, and will no longer be entangled in the small town like before. Is it because Cai knew that the child was dead?

If all the scenes just now were not rehearsed by me and Kaitou Kidd, and without Kaitou Kidd's cooperation, it would have been impossible to keep Kaitou Kidd behind by throwing the broken blade twice.

So, Mitarai Munexuo began to tell:

"Run away from home? Then when we saw her again, she was with her later husband?"

"Um."

At this point, Mitarashi Zongxu did not continue speaking, but first looked at Mitarashi Rui beside him.

"Then what does this matter have to do with the gem? Besides, you didn't say the gender of the child?"

Hearing this, he took out the cross-shaped gem and looked at it. Mitarai Munexu thought about it, then nodded towards Gao Yuan and affirmed:

"It's natural."

Saying this, Mitarai Munexu felt that what he said seemed a bit cumbersome, so he changed his words and continued:

"Of course, as mentioned before, we originally thought that he could not bear the pressure of repayment and debt collection and chose that approach. But in fact, after he went through personal bankruptcy and resigned, we didn't know where to get it. I got a new identity and wanted to use this new identity to get closer to Xiao Cai——

"So, the child died after that?"

Speaking of this, Mitarai Zongxu's face showed a hint of helplessness:

"He always found a way to escape. We organized our efforts several times but failed to catch him. So later, thinking that his only support now was the child, when I was discussing with my brother, I even thought about it..."

It's as simple as listening to other people's stories. You feel a sense of sympathy and pity, but it has nothing to do with you.

"That's why you buried the child's body here?"

"At that time, Xiaocai snatched the child and escaped from the villa... which is the villa in the suburbs now."

Saying this, Mitarai Soxu raised his head, looked at the cave where he and others were now, and then said sadly:

"It's near this cave..."

So, Gao Yuan thought in his heart and couldn't help but feel a little cold, but then he curiously asked:

Then, after thinking for a moment, Mitarai Munexuo began to explain:

"After the death of the child, Xiao Cai was decadent for several months. Then, one day, when all of us no longer had the strict restraint on Xiao Cai, Xiao Cai took advantage of us not paying attention. , took the family’s money and ran away from home...

"At that time, Xiaocai thought that my brother and I wanted to get rid of the child completely, so we didn't let her have contact with the child.

"Then the unexpected happened."

After hearing this, Gao Yuan roughly understood what was going on, and he couldn't help but think of a mother who was about to go crazy, hugging her child, and escaping from the prison where she was under house arrest——

"As I said before, Xiaocai's pregnancy was caused by her gambling professor. Originally, after we stopped their marriage, that guy tried to find Xiaocai several times. Xiao Cai completely gave everything for him.

"At that time, I only had time to catch Xiaocai, but the child in her arms fell off the cliff and died..."

Looking at Mitarashi Zongxu, Gao Yuan was thoughtful and couldn't help but ask:

"It just so happens that I have something to ask about that gem. Mr. Zong Xu, I can ask you everything about the agreement just now, right?"

"There, even now after leaving the villa, is a large area of ​​countryside with no human habitation at all. So when Xiao Rui saw Xiao Cai running out like crazy, Xiao Rui was so frightened that he cried and came to tell He killed my brother and me, so I immediately chased him out.

"But how could we, who already knew everything, let him get what he wanted. Therefore, during that period, my brother kept Xiao Cai at home to prevent that guy from having any access to Xiao Cai. And, after we learned After the issue of his debt, with the power of the Siling Consortium, we asked the institutions that lent him the debt to put pressure on him. In the end, it felt that he could not withstand the pressure, so he chose personal bankruptcy and resigned. He lost his original job and just left our sight.”

Then again, the purpose of this rehearsal was to arouse doubts about the cross-shaped gem.

Faced with this problem, Mitarai Munexu couldn't help but said:

"It's not important. Even Xiang and Yun didn't know the gender of the child, and we didn't even let anyone else know what happened next. Except for my brother and me, we only had the little one who chased him out together. Rui, knows the place where the child fell off the cliff, and knows the existence of this cave.

After saying this, Mitarai Munexu looked regretful, closed his eyes, and said with deep remorse:

At the same time, after hearing this, Mitarashi Rui suddenly seemed to remember something and said hurriedly:

"I...I remembered! At that time, I seemed to have heard my second uncle talking to my father about my sister's child...I remember, it seemed to be something...'the child is dead'. I didn't understand it at the time. What was the situation? But I knew that what my second uncle told my father was about my sister, so I went to find my sister and told her what I heard..."

"In any case, although the father of the child is a scumbag, after all, it was Xiaocai who was born in October. Therefore, when she thought about it like this, she went crazy and rushed out of the room where she was confined. He had the child, and seemed to want to protect the child, so he snatched the child from the nanny, and ran away with the child in his arms...

Faced with such an inquiry, Mitarai Munexu hesitated slightly.

In this regard, Gao Yuan was slightly puzzled as he watched the conversation between the two people in front of him, but there seemed to be a faint guess——

In response, Gao Yuan just smiled lightly without explaining——

"On the edge of a cliff, when I was about to catch up with Xiao Cai, Xiao Cai, who didn't listen to my explanation at all, just jumped off the cliff...

"The phantom thief just now said that this gem was bought by Mr. Zong Xu at an auction in the United States twenty years ago. However, the gem inlaid on it now is not the gem that was auctioned twenty years ago. Is the one inlaid on the gemstone real?”

"Detective Akechi...about the gem you asked about, and even about Xiaocai's child...in the final analysis, it all relates to what happened more than twenty years ago. In this case, why not, I will tell everything I’ll tell you everything exactly, what do you think?”

Seeing Mitarashi Rui's reaction, Mitarashi Zongxu immediately shouted:

"You were too young at the time and didn't understand anything. Moreover, your sister had just given birth to a baby and was grounded at home by us for a long time. Her mentality changed too much, which led to the tragedy that happened later..."

"That's right."

Faced with this question, Mitarai Munexu thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"That's right. The biggest gem on top has been taken down and replaced by the gem on top since it was taken from the auction."

After specifically emphasizing the location, Mitarai Munexuo continued:

In this way, Mitarai Munexuo roughly explained that they would be able to find this place after seeing the cave mentioned in the letter.

Using the knowledge given by the "magician", you can indeed throw things accurately.

But then again, if the mother in that picture in my mind was my mother in this body, I wouldn't be able to feel that emotion at all now.

After hearing this, Gao Yuan thought for a long time, and then asked.

"As for that gem..."

"this matter……"

However, after waiting for a while, when Mitarai Munexu seemed to have finished thinking, he said very solemnly:

In response, Gao Yuan tilted his head, feeling confused.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan asked in confusion.

Gao Yuan was a little puzzled by this statement:

"But for the sake of the reputation of the Mitarai family of the Mitsubishi Consortium, even if it goes against my brother's last wish, we don't want others to know about it, so we came here in advance to see what my brother left here."

"But when she saw me chasing her, Xiaocai thought I was here to catch her and the child, so she kept running away. Finally..."

"After all, it is certain that Xiao Cai is pregnant with his child. He thought that as long as the child was still there, Xiao Cai would sooner or later help him for the sake of the child.

"By the way, Mr. Zong Xu. About that gem..."

"gender?"

"Moreover, at most he can only know that the child is dead, but he cannot know how the child's body was disposed of..."

"Detective Akechi, let me continue..."

After Mitarashi Zongxu saw that Mitarashi Rui's mood was stabilized by his words, he continued:

"At that time, after the child was born, due to the identity of the child, we did not let Xiaocai take care of the child, but found a nanny to take care of the child. Therefore, Xiaocai's mentality at that time, after experiencing such an incident, the whole person Her state was very unstable, so after she heard what Xiao Rui told her about the conversation between me and my brother, because of Xiao Rui's unclear words and Xiao Cai's mentality, it was inevitable that she would move towards something bad. Think about the direction——

Muttering, Mitarai Munexu recalled the past and continued:

Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel very surprised when Mitarai Munexu said this, but faced with such a statement, Gao Yuan naturally couldn't refuse, so he nodded seriously and responded:

"Okay. Please say..."

Having said this, he lowered his head silently, and Mitarai Munexu said as if he was very regretful about this.

When Gao Yuan heard this, he immediately figured out what the text written under the base of the spiritual tablet was about, so he asked.

In response to this, Mitarai Munexu received such a response, Gao Yuan nodded slightly, and then began to ask:

"As for that gem, Xiao Cai later begged us to help take the photo, and removed the blue diamond originally inlaid on it, which was also made by Xiao Cai... But as for the reason for doing this, Xiao Cai did not tell us Said."

With Kaitou Kid's previous account of this gem's past in front of Mitarai Souaki, it is now easier for Gao Yuan to use this as a starting point to start questioning——

Nodding, Mitarashi Munexu showed regret, but at this moment he still calmly replied:

"From the standpoint of the Mitsubishi Consortium, as the eldest lady of the consortium, the birth of that child cannot be told to anyone. Although it is very cruel to say this, after seeing the child die like this, my brother and I first Time, what comes to mind is to erase all traces of this child's existence, in order to hide Xiaocai's unbearable past.

"Xiao Rui, don't think too much."

"Therefore, when we saw my brother mentioning the cave in that letter, Xiao Rui and I immediately thought of this cave and wondered if my brother planned to make everything public after his death...

"why is that?"

But in fact, apart from the accuracy, in terms of lethality, the two shots just now were nothing to worry about.

"Later, when we found her again, she was with Taro... her later husband, and the damage caused to her by that unfortunate past seemed to have been healed after meeting Taro. .

Speaking of this, Mitarashi Rui suddenly seemed to understand something and started to retreat——

However, although he could imagine such a scene, Gao Yuan himself could not really understand the feeling.

Mitarai Munexu was somewhat impressed by Gao Yuan's last two-handed throw that blocked Kid's throw.

In response to this, Mitarai Soxu pondered for a moment, then nodded and affirmed:

"For this reason, although we discovered his plan, several times in succession, especially after Xiaocai gave birth, he began to frequently change his identity to approach us, and the number of times became more and more frequent, and he was very difficult to guard against, which made my brother and I several times. I wanted to put an end to this matter once and for all, but..."

"Didn't you look for Ms. Cai's whereabouts during this period?"

"I have looked for it, of course I have."

Mitarashi Munexu nodded and responded:

"Originally, during the period after Xiao Cai ran away, the Siling Consortium used various means to find Xiao Cai's whereabouts. In the end, we found out that Xiao Cai had gone through the procedures to go abroad and was preparing to take a passenger ship at Muroran Port. America. But when we learn this clue and we go to find Xiaocai...

"That day, a sudden typhoon hit Muroran Port without warning, blocking our progress. And afterwards, no one at Muroran Port expected that such a horrific tragedy would happen there..."
