"Hey, uncle, do you think that person just now looks familiar?" Conan thought about it carefully.
"What? How is it possible..." Mouri Kogoro was about to scold this boy, but the back figure suddenly appeared in his mind, "When you said that, it seems a bit familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere..."
Yuan Huaiyu didn't know that these two guys were wondering who the familiar figure was. He quickly turned two street corners and dialed Akira Hirota's phone.
"Mr. Hirota? I have good news for you. I have found your brother's address."
"What? You just received a call from your brother?"
"I made this call late, so I won't get a penny?"
"Why is this! You are not trustworthy!"
Yuan Huaiyu vividly played the role of a hapless detective who worked tirelessly to find someone for a week, but finally found someone but was rejected by his employer.
He never cares about the dead, and he designed Akira Hirota to hire him to find Kenzo Hirota just so that he could participate in this case more logically.
If there is no reason, it may make Kudo Shinichi, a keen guy, realize "Why do I always meet you in cases so coincidentally? Are you deliberately approaching us?"
In the process of trying to participate more deeply in the development route of the Kexue world, it is not necessarily a good thing to expose one's own purpose prematurely.
From the first time he came into contact with Kudo Shinichi, he established himself as a "mystery novel fan", and now he has gone one step further to become a part-time detective, which can be said to be reasonable.
Yuan Huaiyu hung up the phone, found an izakaya on the roadside, ordered two snacks, and then sat down and opened his laptop.
As he expected, the light spot representing Akira Hirota was moving rapidly towards this side.
It seemed that he had received the message from Hirota Masami and was rushing over impatiently.
I took the time to finish my lunch, and Akira Hirota's location was already within easy reach.
Yuan Huaiyu sighed as he thought of the tragedy that would happen next.
…
With a cruel smile on his face, Hirota Akira knocked on the door of Hirota Kenzo's house.
The person who opened the door was Masami Hirota. Seeing her appearance, Akira Hirota was slightly startled: "Why are you dressed like this?"
Hirota Masami put on makeup and lipstick, but deliberately combed her hair into braids on both sides and wore thick round glasses.
This was completely different from the smart and capable female white-collar worker in his impression.
But Akira Hirota's mind was obviously not on her, and he asked murderously: "Where is that old boy Hirota Kenzo?"
He broke into the living room and saw Hirota Kenzo sitting on the sofa in silence, not daring to move.
He had the guts to make away with a billion dollars on his own despite being obsessed with money, but now he doesn't dare to look up at his fierce accomplice!
That is a villain who dares to shoot and kill people! God knows what he will do to himself...
If he had a choice, he would rather let the police catch him than let the two accomplices he betrayed be found.
"Hmph... Hirota Kenzo, you are so laid-back..."
Akira Hirota looked at the four black cats standing or lying in the room and said sadly.
"Do you know how hard it was for us to find you..." Akira Hirota's fists slowly clenched, and veins popped out on the back of his hands.
There were several tin boxes placed in the corner of the room, containing the one billion yen they had robbed together this time.
Excluding the money Hirota Kenzo rented and squandered in these days, it was still an astronomical sum.
"Your share belongs to us." Hirota Akira glared at Hirota Kenzo, "Do you have any opinions?"
"All?" Hirota Kenzo's heart beat faster and his breathing became heavier.
He worked so hard that he became a robber. He will live in fear from now on, but in the end he didn't make any money at all?
Sometimes, money can really blind a person's eyes. He was blinded in this way before, and then betrayed two accomplices.
But now, he didn't know where the courage came from. He looked at Hirota Akira fiercely and growled: "No! This time I feel that I am in the wrong. I can give you a little more, but I can't take away all my share!"
"That's what you said!" Guangtian Ming was furious.
In his opinion, sparing Hirota Kenzo his life was a great act of kindness given to him as a former companion, but this old guy still dared to resist!
Anger arose in his heart and turned to fear. Hirota Akira rushed in front of Hirota Kenzo and pinched Hirota Kenzo's neck with a pair of big hands.
"Uh... oh... what are you doing..." Hirota Kenzo's throat was strangled, and he suddenly felt that it was extremely difficult to breathe.
He struggled hard, trying to break away from those big iron pliers-like hands.
But how could he, a middle-aged fat man, be a match for a strong man like Hirota Akira? No matter how hard he tried, those hands were still squeezing his neck.
The fierce struggle quickly consumed his physical strength. In just a few breaths, he felt an obvious sense of suffocation.
Miyano Akemi was a little panicked when she saw that Akira Hirota had no intention of stopping.
No matter what, she could not accept seeing Hirota Kenzo being strangled to death in front of her.
She rushed forward and hugged Hirota Akira's arm tightly, trying to stop his movement.
Hirota Kenzo also used all his strength and kicked Hirota Akira hard one after another.
Seeing Kenzo Hirota resisting so fiercely, Akira Hirota's eyes became more fierce and he used a little more force on his hands.
With a "click" sound, Miyano Akemi's watch strap that Conan affixed with a tracking beacon broke apart during the pull and fell to the ground.
And Hirota Kenzo's struggle became weaker and weaker.
Finally, Akira Hirota let go of his hand. Kenzo Hirota, who could only breathe out but had no breath in, fell softly on the sofa and made no sound anymore.
On his neck, the black handprint of Hong Dao was so clear and dazzling.
Kenzo Hirota was strangled to death by Akira Hirota at home.
Hirota Akira cast his beastly gaze at Hirota Masami behind him, but saw the other party looking at him coldly.
"You make the mess yourself, you solve it yourself."
"If you still want to take action against me, as long as I can't get out of this door today, the police station will find you tomorrow!"
Miyano Akemi threatened. By reaching a cooperative relationship with a gangster like Akira Hirota, she also left herself plenty of backup options.
The killing intent in Hirota Akira's eyes gradually faded, and he spread his hands to indicate that he had no such idea.
"You take the money first. After three days, I will go to you and get the share I deserve!"
Miyano Akemi picked up the watch on the ground and threw it to him: "I don't want this watch anymore, just take it."
After saying that, she left the apartment in a hurry, leaving only Hirota Akira who was cleaning the scene, and Hirota Kenzo who was already a corpse.
