After being hit by Mouri Kogoro's "Lion Roar Technique", Conan wiped the saliva from his face helplessly and immediately fell silent.
Obviously, what he said was so weightless that Mouri Kogoro didn't listen carefully at all, so as soon as he refuted the other party's point of view, he was impatiently suppressed by the other party.
But being denied by Kogoro Mori does not mean that his views are also denied.
At least Karasawa had the same idea as him.
After all, there are so many important loan contracts behind the painting, which shows that this matter should be a confidential decision.
As the borrower, Toshio Iwamatsu obviously did not have the connections or opportunities to know the other party's secret.
The only people who can know his secret are those close to him.
However, further investigation is needed to know the truth about this.
Thinking of this, Tangze began to check the environment around the scene.
Although he had seen the situation in the room in the video played in the court trial before, after all, it was different from what he saw in the video and the actual situation at the scene.
And soon, Tang Ze's eyes fell on a wooden cabinet next to the hanging painting wall.
To be precise, it is the surface of the wooden cabinet, where a vase cushion is placed. It can be clearly seen that the middle circle of the cushion is new, while the outside is obviously much older due to the sun.
There will be a clear transition between old and new in the vase mat, naturally because vases were placed on the mat before.
"Excuse me, was there a vase on this before?" Karasawa looked at Hara Yukie and asked.
"This... I remember it seems to be the vase that Madam used before..."
When Karasawa suddenly asked, Hara Yukie showed a slightly nervous expression on her old face. She held her right hand in front of her chest and forced a smile: "Originally, the vase was always placed there, but after my wife passed away, the master
I disposed of that vase before."
"Oh? That's it~"
After seeing the unnatural expression on the other side, Conan put his head in his hands and pretended to be innocent and said, "I thought it was President Ishigaki who accidentally hit the ground and broke it when he was struggling with the prisoner."
"Regarding this, when I searched for evidence at the scene, I didn't find any fragments of the vase here."
Conan's original intention was to observe Yukie Hara's reaction, but he didn't expect to get a reply from Reiko Kujo.
When the other party answered his question, he unconsciously took two steps, blocking his line of sight.
But it doesn't matter, he is not alone. Karasawa should have seen Yukie Hara's reaction after he asked the question.
Thinking of this, Conan glanced at Tang Ze and found that the other person nodded slightly towards him, so he knew that his guess was correct.
Tangze already understood Conan's plan when he revealed his guess, and the two of them divided the work in a tacit understanding.
At that moment, Tang Ze clearly saw that the other party's pupils shrank for a moment, and his facial expression was also tense.
Obviously, everything the other party said before was a lie, and even if Conan's guess was not the truth, questioning her attitude in explaining it was enough to make the other party feel guilty.
Yukie Hara has a problem.
This is the unified opinion of Karasawa and Conan after testing.
Of course, these are just their observations, and it is impossible to actually get the other party to admit it.
So everything needs to be considered in the long run.
After that, Karasawa carefully investigated the room again. After finding no other important evidence, he left the Ishigaki family's mansion with everyone.
"Ms. Xiaolin, thanks to your carefulness this time, we were able to discover such important evidence."
Before leaving, Kujo Reiko thanked Kobayashi Sumiko and said, "Thank you very much."
"No, I just discovered it by accident..."
The continuous thank yous have made Xiaolin Chengzi's brain feel a little lack of oxygen, especially those who praised her. In her opinion, they are all famous people. They have been praising her continuously since the beginning, making her feel dizzy.
, it feels very unreal.
Kujo Reiko just smiled at Kobayashi Sumiko's modesty, and then looked at everyone and said, "Then we will say goodbye now, thank you for your help this time.
Regarding the case, if there is any follow-up news, please contact us in time.”
"Of course, if Prosecutor Kujo gains anything, don't hide it."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "Now it seems that there are still many doubts about the whole case. It is best for us to find the truth. This will make things in court much easier."
"Of course." Kujo Reiko and I also nodded, and immediately said goodbye to everyone: "Then we will leave first."
"I have to go too." Kobayashi Chengzi looked at her watch and said, "I have to go back and report today's situation to the principal."
"Then let me see you off." Bai Niao volunteered.
Kobayashi Sumiko looked at Shiratori, but did not refuse in the end. Finally, she said goodbye to everyone and Conan and got into Shiratori's criminal car.
"Dad, let's go find mom."
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Xiaolan looked at Mouri Kogoro and said: "I called my mother before and informed her about the loan contract hidden behind the painting.
She should have gone to the prison to meet the defendant at this moment. We will go to her office now, and we should be able to meet our mother.
I just wanted to ask my mother what she and Toshio Iwamatsu talked about."
Looking at his daughter's hopeful eyes, Mouri Kogoro knew that what she liked to say was all about the case, but in fact she still wanted to see Fei Eri.
No, or maybe my daughter not only wants to see her mother by herself, but also wants to take her with her.
As for the other party's purpose, it's not the first time, and it is naturally very obvious.
"Hmph, just go." Although Mouri Kogoro was reluctant on the surface, he actually agreed softly.
"Do you mind if I come too?" Tangze smiled and said, "I am very interested in the conversation between the concubine and Toshio Iwamatsu, and there is also something I want to ask Xiaolan for your help with."
Seeing Xiaolan's gaze, Tangze did not show off, but said directly: "I want you to call the concubine's lawyer and ask her to ask about the vase when questioning Toshio Iwamatsu."
"I understand, then I'll call mom now." Xiaolan nodded after hearing this and immediately took out her cell phone.
Karasawa looked at Mouri and Kogoro and said, "Then you wait for me here and I'll drive over."
After the four of them got in the car, they rushed towards Fei Yingli's office.
While they were on their way, Fei Yingli also came to the Tokyo Detention Center again.
She hung up the call from her daughter, looked at the tall building in front of her, and stepped into it.
After applying for a meeting, Fei Yingli came to the meeting room again.
And Toshio Iwamatsu was soon brought under criminal escort.
When he impatiently asked Fei Yingri why he was looking for him this time, Fei Yingri told him about the important evidence that Karasawa and others had found in the Ishigaki family residence.
"What did you say!?"
After hearing what Fei Erli said, Toshio Iwamatsu was shocked by the news: "You said there is a loan contract about me behind the painting?"
"Yes, I want to ask you, why did you hide the fact that you borrowed money from President Ishigaki before!?"
"ah..."
When Toshio Iwamatsu faced the angry Fei Eri, he avoided her eyes unnaturally, and finally he held his chin and confessed in a resigned tone: "I just borrowed a large sum of money from that guy Ishigaki.
The store that was used as a guarantee for the loan was almost robbed by that guy's trick.
But if I tell this kind of thing, wouldn't it make others think that I killed that guy Ishigaki out of revenge?
So...!!"
"But do you know that now your concealment has made things more troublesome?"
Fei Yingli looked at Toshio Iwamatsu with a serious face: "Now the prosecutor has discovered and confirmed this fact, and found important evidence that can prove your motive for killing."
"no!!"
After Toshio Iwamatsu heard what Fei Yingli said, he stood up with excitement and explained loudly: "I just went there that day to get my loan contract back!"
"You should know that the seriousness of the situation is completely different from mentioning it on your own initiative and being discovered after concealing it."
Fei Yingli was also a little angry when she said this: "I'm asking you now, are you sure you really haven't touched that painting?"
"yes."
Seeing Fei Yingli's angry and terrifying expression, Toshio Iwamatsu subconsciously weakened a bit: "I didn't know that the IOU was actually hidden behind the painting. I only found out after listening to what you just said. Please believe it.
I!"
"The current situation is no longer a question of whether I believe it or not!" Fei Yingli said with a stern face: "It is about whether you can let the jury introduce your statement after concealing such a major matter!"
Iwamatsu Toshio was stunned when he heard this, and then a look of panic appeared on his face: "Then what should I do now?"
"With the current situation, I can only think of ways to help you out before the next court session."
Feili stood up and said: "If I think of a way, I will come over to discuss it with you."
After saying this, he ignored Toshio Iwamatsu's panicked expression and walked straight out.
When she walked to the door, she seemed to suddenly remember something. Feili turned around and looked at Iwamatsu Toshio and asked: "By the way, have you ever seen a vase in the room where the crime occurred?"
"vase?"
After hearing Feili's words, Toshio Iwamatsu recalled: "When you said that, it seemed that you had indeed seen it.
I was shocked when I saw the body of that guy Ishigaki. I turned around and wanted to run, but I stepped on the blood on the ground.
Because the blood stain was too slippery, I fell directly into a pool of blood. At that time, the vase next to me was knocked over and hit me.
And the reason why my body is stained with blood is also because I fell."
"Was it there originally..."
Feili's eyes narrowed when she heard this, and she nodded: "I understand. If I make any progress in the future, I will come again."
"Please!" Toshio Iwamatsu looked at Fei Mi's leaving figure, stood up in a hurry and said, "You have to believe me, it really wasn't me! I didn't kill anyone!!"
But Toshio Iwamatsu's shout received no response.
Once a person loses trust, it will be even more difficult to gain trust later.
The situation of Toshio Iwamatsu is even more serious, because he has no chance to prove his credibility again with actual actions.
His trust is like a maxed-out credit card, and he doesn't have much left to pay back.
And such people naturally have no credibility.
The reason why Feili still helped him was because of the lawyer's professional code.
After Feili walked out of the Tokyo detention center, he drove towards his office.
When he returned to the office and entered the door, he saw Xiaolan and others sitting on chairs chatting.
"Welcome back." Xiaolan smiled and said after seeing her mother: "Mom, you are back."
"Are you here to ask about the vase?"
Feili put her handbag on the table, smiled and said, "I've already asked him about this."
"I wonder how Toshio Iwamatsu answered?" Karasawa said.
"As you guessed from Tang Ze Criminal, there was indeed a vase at the scene of the crime." Feili said.
"But the maid said that the vase had been packed away early because of the wife's death."
Mouri Kogoro frowned when he heard this and said: "And there is no trace of the vase in the on-site records of evidence collection at the criminal scene.
I think you should have seen this in the video played in court before."
"Since Toshio Iwamatsu said that the vase was still there, but the maid said that it had been dealt with long ago, it means that one of the two people must have lied."
Karasawa put down the tea cup and said: "As a suspect, Toshio Iwamatsu admits that the existence of the vase does not bring any help or benefit to him.
On the contrary, Hara Yukie had the interest and motivation to take the vase away."
"But does that vase have anything to do with the case?" Xiaolan asked with some confusion after hearing Tang Ze's reasoning.
"At least it proves that it was not only the murder weapon that disappeared from the crime scene, but also the vase."
Conan looked at Xiaolan and explained with a smile: "As for the relationship, further investigation is needed.
But just like Mr. Xiaolin found the painting hanging upside down, maybe it was just a suspicion at the beginning, and everyone will doubt that it has nothing to do with the case."
"But with the investigation, this discovery may become important evidence!" Xiaolan took over Conan's words with a smile: "Isn't that right?"
"Yes." Conan smiled and nodded.
Seeing the two people expressing their tacit understanding, Tang Ze simply chose to ignore it and looked at Feilili and said, "I wonder if Toshio Iwamatsu said where the vase was placed at that time?"
"According to what he said, it fell from the decorative cabinet and rolled near the door." Feili took out a floor plan and pointed to the location on it.
