Conan sat up straight and stared at the thick folder.
He still remembers Shiraishi's keen sense of the case. Now it seems that it is not just based on intuition, but based on proper investigation. Not only is he talented, his intuition is accurate, but he also works hard. No wonder he can do it.
Something that cannot be accomplished.
Now, since Shiraishi says he feels bad, it must mean it is really bad, and there may even be a potential murder.
...But why should I tell them? Doesn’t Shiraishi usually handle it himself or leave it to Black Cat?
Conan has rich association skills and instantly thought of the envelope just now and Shiraishi's promise to go shopping with them.
It seems that Shiraishi is very concerned about protecting his client's face and does not want to tell them about the Morion family. Instead, he plans to go to the Morion family in person and then solve the problem quietly as before.
But just now he received a letter, and he suddenly changed his attention... What did the letter say? Was there other more important cases that Shiraishi couldn't get away from, so he wanted to leave this matter to them to solve?
Hattori Heiji didn't think so much, he was more interested in the matter itself.
Because Shiraishi mentioned the strange relationship between the Morizon family, Hattori Heiji remembered something:
"I heard from my mother that the person Mrs. Moriyuan liked was the housekeeper Shigematsu. At that time, my wife went to Morizono's house to find Shigematsu. Mr. Morizono thought she was here to find him and proposed to her, and Mrs. Morizono agreed.
Later, the two of them lived well, with both children and a daughter, but the housekeeper Shigematsu was a bit miserable..."
Speaking of this, Hattori Heiji gradually came back to his senses based on the cases he had solved in the past, and guessed:
"But Butler Shigematsu finally couldn't stand this situation, so he wanted to do something bad to Mr. and Mrs. Morizon? But Mrs. Morizon passed away a few years ago."
Hattori Heiji began to seriously think about whether there was another hidden reason for Mrs. Morizono's death. For example, she was killed by Mr. Morizono, and now Butler Shigematsu accidentally found out the truth and avenged his love.
"No, the problem lies with Mr. Morizono's son, Morizono Kikuto." Shiraishi denied Hattori Heiji's seemingly reasonable speculation:
"According to my investigation, what happened to Mrs. Morizono and the others is likely to happen again in the next generation.
"The 'fiancée' of Morizono Kikuto fell in love with the adopted son of housekeeper Shigematsu, who was also a maid in Morizono's house. She went to Morizono's house to meet the adopted son, but Morizono Kikuto misunderstood...
Things slowly developed into what they are now." They all started preparing for the wedding ceremony.
"Oh..." Hattori Heiji began to speculate again, "Could it be that Morison Kikuto discovered the truth and felt that it was embarrassing, or that he liked his fiancée too much, so he wanted to kill the adopted son of Butler Shigematsu?"
"Why can't it be that the adopted son wants to kill Morizono Kikuto in order to steal his sweetheart?" Although Toyama and Haha didn't know why Hattori Heiji acquiesced that someone would die, they started to think along this line of thinking.
Conan also raised objections: "It is also possible that Butler Shigematsu was eager to protect his son and did not want his own tragedy to happen again to his adopted son. Coupled with past grudges, he wanted to kill Morien Kikito."
Mao Lilan sat aside and listened carefully, very shocked. Is a big family so complicated? No wonder Brother Baishi wants to move out by himself. But he may also want to be close to school, although he has almost never seen Brother Baishi going to school...
"...Not entirely." These people's guesses were quite reasonable. Baishi paused for a second and reorganized the thoughts they interrupted:
"Butler Shigematsu discovered the mistaken identity, but in order to protect the family's face, he did not tell the truth directly. Instead, he used evidence of tax evasion by Morion Kikuto's company as a threat to put pressure on Morion Kikuto, hoping that he would take the initiative.
Break off the engagement and settle the matter quietly."
"Threat..." This time, all four high school students understood.
As we all know, the victims of threats to this world are very courageous and far-sighted.
They will all clearly realize that if this continues, the demand of the threat actor will be a bottomless pit, so they will have the idea of having no choice but to kill the enemy and do everything possible to kill the threat actor.
From this point of view, the most dangerous person is actually Butler Shigematsu?
Shiraishi was very pleased to find that they finally got the keyword right:
"Recently, my friend has been helping me observe the situation of their home, and found that Morizono Kikuto's behavior was a bit strange.
"He himself suffers from acrophobia, but recently he occasionally stands by the window of a high-altitude room, throws bundles of things into the tree, and then pulls them back with the connected rope, much like..."
He didn't finish.
But Hattori Heiji and Conan understood immediately - this was practicing abandoning the murder weapon.
Letting the murder weapon fall on a leafy tree not only hides these things well, but also allows some people who don't think carefully to eliminate patients with acrophobia first after discovering the murder weapon because the tree is too high.
Shiraishi flipped through the folders, and others could see A4 papers full of text flashing past one by one, sometimes with pictures, and occasionally they could catch some professional terms on them, but they couldn't see the specific content clearly.
After flipping through it for a while, Shiraishi seemed to notice their curious gazes, hesitated for a moment, and closed the folder again:
"I'm sorry, I can't show you these. There is some information in it... that may have an impact on his family's reputation and the company. I originally wanted to take the time to go over and hand over the information to the client today, but something else suddenly came up..."
Something else must be referring to that letter.
Although the two high school detectives were still curious, there was another mysterious case of a rich family attracting their attention, so they stopped getting involved.
Hattori Heiji quickly understood what Shiraishi meant: "Don't worry, we will definitely stop this matter and talk it over with them - anyway, I don't come to Tokyo often, and my mother rarely comes, so don't worry about meeting them.
Awkward."
Shiraishi nodded. In fact, he didn't dare to count on Hattori Heiji and Conan, especially when Conan had a clue and didn't tell anyone. He only thought silently in his mind, and only thought, "So that's it!" "It must be like this!"
It's that person!", and the detective who never revealed the specific name or keywords.
This matter still needs to be handled by outspoken people, such as the two people from Osaka, plus a kind-hearted Mao Lilan.
However, can just talking about the matter really solve the problem smoothly? If Morizono Kikuto is the type who does not pursue mutual love, but only lusts after the face and body, and continues to insist on getting married, maybe it will lead to consequences.
There are other murder cases.
Shiraishi is still a little worried. In the past, he has done all the tasks personally, and the high school detective is very good at solving crimes and catching the murderer, but stopping the murder...
Shiraishi glanced at Conan and found that Conan's eyes were also a little vacant. He had a rare idea of his success rate in preventing the murder.
Looking at each other for a moment, Shiraishi went back to the back room while several people went out in a hurry.
Conan felt that Shiraishi still had something to say, so he walked slower.
Soon, he saw Shiraishi coming out holding a black cat.
The neighbor put the cat into his hand and said kindly: "Take it with you, maybe it can help."
The cat seemed to have not yet woken up, lying motionless on its stomach, with only the tip of its tail wagging, indicating that it was still a living cat.
Conan's eyes twitched. He originally thought that Shiraishi was in a hurry and sought medical treatment, but when he received the cat, he found that he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
Conan grabbed the cat and said goodbye dryly: "I will try my best."
