Watching Jiang Xia and Conan retreat, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the front hood of the car with some weakness.
But soon, he stood up nervously again.
"I don't think I heard footsteps before. When did that young detective come? How much did he hear?" The housekeeper turned back uneasily and looked at the tampered car.
After I became suspicious, some things became more and more surprising the more I looked at them.
He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Is this airbag really that conspicuous? A primary school student can actually see it. If she also discovers the problem, then..."
After hesitating for a moment, the housekeeper took a deep breath and his eyes gradually became firm.
…
Jiang Xia took Conan to the villa. When he was about to enter the door, he paused and saw a familiar person.
——Akai Shuichi walked out of the grove on the side. Perhaps because of the whole night's hard work, his eyes were now a little greener, and his already fierce face looked even more gloomy.
Conan was shocked when he saw it, and his whole body became alert.
"Mr. Akai?" Jiang Xia knocked the ashes from his cigarette, as if he was a little confused, "You...were looking for the murderer nearby last night?"
"..." Akai Shuichi couldn't say that he saw a familiar curly hair, let alone that he couldn't catch up with him after chasing him all night.
Therefore, he did not answer, but coldly distanced himself from these innocent citizens: "Don't ask any more questions, it has nothing to do with you."
When Suzuki Yuanzi and Mao Lilan, who had just come to Xunsheng, saw this scene, they couldn't help but whisper: "This guy was taciturn and honest yesterday, why did he suddenly become cold and cold today? Could it be that he was taciturn and honest yesterday?"
Did Wan do something shady? Jiang Xia brought it up and poked his sore foot, so his attitude changed drastically?"
Akai Shuichi was keenly aware of their gazes and suspected that the two female high school students were whispering to him behind his back.
However, as a veteran FBI agent, he had long been accustomed to all kinds of stares. He didn't say much and turned around to leave.
——Before going up the mountain, Akai Shuichi did not expect to meet Jiang Xia here.
But now, it is confirmed that Uzo's eyes are fixed on this place, and he must cut off the relationship with these innocent Tokyoites as soon as possible.
…
Several high school students entered the villa, but Akai Shuichi did not follow them.
He remembered that the housekeeper went to repair the car last night, and he didn't know if it was repaired. If not, he would do it himself, leave this place with no signal as soon as possible, and then call the police with the excuse that the suspect was absconding nearby.
Block this place.
In this way, if you are lucky, you should be able to catch the slippery curly-haired man - there are no other vehicles nearby, and although he disappeared just after a wrong glance, the man must not be able to go far now.
…
The butler hurriedly left the garage to prepare breakfast for everyone.
Not long after he left, Akai Shuichi pushed open the door and came to the car.
After looking around the car and sitting in the driver's seat, Shuichi Akai looked at the airbag on the steering wheel and raised an eyebrow.
…
On the other side, in the restaurant.
Everyone who woke up sat down one after another, waiting for the meal to be served. Not long after, the butler came in pushing the dining cart.
Just as he was about to put down his plate, he suddenly stared at a photo on the dining table and froze on the spot - the photo showed a young man sitting in front of a grand piano, playing the piano and looking towards him with a smile.
lens.
"Does it look familiar?" Conan looked at the photo frame and sighed, "This is the photo you put on your bookshelf."
The housekeeper's heart skipped a beat: "You entered my room?!"
Conan nodded. At this time, the advantage of being a child comes to the fore - if he were still the high school detective he used to be, he would not be able to admit that he had broken into someone else's room without permission.
But now, a first-grade child doesn't have to worry about legal issues. Conan continued like an outlaw: "In addition, I also found a lot of chemicals in your cabinet, including sulfur... Ouch!!"
Mouri Kogoro retracted his fist: "You kid went through other people's cabinets and stole things? You really deserve a beating!"
Conan: "..." Damn it, I should let this uncle fall asleep before reasoning next time...
Jiang Xia touched the big bag on Conan's head and remembered the sacrifice of this classmate. Then he continued what he just said and said to the housekeeper: "The explosives in the wine box last night were the result of you using chemical fertilizers, sulfur and those chemicals.
It’s probably made from medicine.”
The eldest son was stunned when he heard this: "Fertilizer and sulfur, these two things can actually make bombs?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "As long as it is mixed in the proper proportion, its power will not be much weaker than the yellow bomb."
The housekeeper gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "Nonsense! Not to mention whether I can create such a thing, even if I can, why should I kill the master? His salary is so high, I am grateful to him before it is too late."
Jiang Xia glanced out of the window and began to tell stories from the past: "Five years ago, under the pressure of the dead Mr. Hotta, Miss Fumiko's fiancé committed suicide. And everything you did today was actually for
Give him revenge.
"You are the steward here, and all birthday gifts received by the deceased will pass through your hands.
"So after getting the rye whiskey from Mr. Ryoji, you set up a trap inside the wine box and put in a home-made bomb that you made using phosphate fertilizer and sulfur.
"This kind of bomb has no smell of gunpowder, is easily ignited, and is not easily noticed by the deceased. When he was opening gifts at night, he unpreparedly triggered the mechanism and was killed."
The eldest son suddenly realized: "I see... I'm just telling you, where did that boy Ryoji have the courage to kill someone?"
The sister-in-law looked confused: "But Liang Er had a knife in his bag and he escaped. Who else could be the murderer if he wasn't him? - Could it be that he and the housekeeper are accomplices?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "Mr. Liang'er is just a scapegoat to divert everyone's attention. His disappearance was also caused by the butler - only by clearing himself of suspicion can Mr. Butler make the next step in his plan to kill the second person he wants to kill.
.”
"?!"
Hota Hiroshi, who was watching the show leisurely, hugged his wife for a moment: "This has nothing to do with us! We have nothing to do with Kentaro's death!"
Just at this moment, a car drove past the window and headed outside the courtyard.
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko realized something was wrong. She held the back of her chair and looked out, "Didn't it mean that all the cars here were broken down and there was no way to leave? But why did something that looked like a car swish by outside just now?
?”
The housekeeper suddenly smiled, and his smile was meaningful: "Of course it's because I repaired my old car. Now, it will carry the people in the car to where they should go."
