Not only Qin Zhibo, but also Conan standing next to him had a look of pity on his face.
This, on the contrary, would not be possible for Ichitaka.
What do their eyes mean?
Are you pitying this girl?
Iljitaka glanced down at the girl he was holding hostage in front of him, and suddenly noticed that the girl was making a move.
This action is very similar to the preparatory action of Sun Wukong before exploding his energy in "Dragon Ball".
Mao Lilan: "Oh——"
Ichitaka: "?"
Qin Zhibo and Conan: "!"
Mao Lilan straightened his head, and thrust his clamped arms back suddenly. In an instant, Ichijitaka felt an unprecedented heavy blow to his two ribs.
A blow powerful enough to break a rice flower telephone pole...
Without defense at close range, Yi Zhilong's internal organs contracted and shifted rapidly under Mao Lilan's elbow.
Then Ichige Takashi himself stiffened, took a short breath, and made an "O.o" expression on his face.
At this time, Mao Lilan turned around and continued to punch, but Qin Zhibo quickly reached out to stop him.
"Xia Xia! Stop it!"
"If you hit me any more, you'll run out of energy!"
...
When Ichijitaka woke up from the pain, there were more people standing in front of him.
Qin Zhibo vividly recounted his experience of being knocked unconscious by Yizhilong's sleeping pills and then being brought into the sink to drown.
But no matter how extravagant Qin Zhibo's words were, Conan always rolled his eyes in response.
Why was he almost killed by a shark...
Obviously you didn’t drink that cup of coffee!
And there was no water even on the collar, so how could it be said that he had drowned?
However, Conan did not doubt that Ilji Takashi wanted to kill Qin Zhibo.
It's just that Conan didn't understand the motive for the murder.
But since he wants to kill Qin Zhibo, then...
At this time, Mifune Takuya rushed forward, grabbed Ichidashi by the collar and started roaring angrily.
"Tell me! Where did you hide Miss Lihua?"
"And Nikaido!"
"Why did you kill Nikaido!"
Two of Yi Zhilong's ribs were broken. It was difficult to stand up at this time, so he could only slump against the wall.
But against the aggressive Mifune, Ichieda no longer trembled.
The inexplicably glowing glasses concealed his elusive eyes.
Suddenly, Ichiji Takaya roared furiously.
"Because it was Reika and Nikaido, a pair of bastards, who killed my Yaeko!"
After shocking everyone with his words, Ichitaka began to explain.
"On that stormy day two years ago, Yaeko rowed alone to a nearby island in order to rescue Reika who was trapped."
"She was wearing a life jacket before leaving, and the life jacket prepared for Lihua was also placed on the rubber boat."
"But when Yaeko arrived on the island, she was shocked. In addition to Reika, Nikaido was also trapped on the island."
"But there are only two life jackets..."
Hearing this, Mao Lilan covered her mouth in surprise: "Could it be..."
"That's right!"
"It was the two of them who snatched away Yaeko's life jacket and saved her!"
"That's how they killed Yaeko who came to save them!"
"I felt something was wrong. Later, when the search and rescue team found Yaeko, there was no life jacket on Yaeko at all."
"But those two people said they never met Yaeko at all..."
Iljitaka didn't elaborate on the next words, and the others also fell into silence.
Conan remembered what Nikaido had said confidently when Reika Yosui was preparing to stay in the villa.
It seems that that sentence actually implies that the two of them still have such a bond that others do not have.
And Yijitakashi did all this for revenge.
For a moment, Conan, who was not wearing the vest of Mouri Kogoro, could not think of any reason to make Ichijitaka kneel down and repent.
Others also chose to remain silent.
Only one person chose to speak.
Qin Zhibo silently stepped forward, put his hand on Yi Zhilong's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "At this point, I don't want to say nonsense like 'Maybe things are not what you think.'"
"In fact, based on Reika Yotsui's character, I think your speculation may be true."
"But I just want to ask one question, were you on the boat at that time?"
Yi Zhilong nodded slowly.
"Hmph." Qin Zhibo snorted coldly: "Since you were also on the boat at the time, why did you let your beloved woman take this risk?"
Upon hearing this, Iljitaka's head suddenly froze, and the expression on his face completely froze.
Qin Zhibo continued: "You said it was a stormy day, so you should have expected that going out to rescue at that time would be life-threatening."
"It doesn't matter whether there are one person or two people on the island, the rubber boat itself may be overturned by big waves, and people cannot last long in the water on stormy days even if they have life jackets."
"Especially for women, their physical strength will be exhausted faster in the water."
"Since you are a member of the yacht club, you should be able to imagine these risks."
"But you ultimately let the woman you love take that risk, didn't you?"
Having said this, Qin Zhibo said no more.
The dull-looking Ichijitaka opened his eyes wide, and two lines of tears fell from his eyes.
No one knows what he is thinking.
No one knew whether the tears he was shedding now were tears of joy after his revenge was avenged, or tears of regret for his past choices.
...
In the small space, no one said a word.
Mao Lilan looked at Ichige Takashi with a dull look on his face, and for some reason he thought of Kudo Shinichi, whom he had never seen since the last time they saw each other at Dorobiga Amusement Park.
If I'm in danger...
Shinichi, will he come to save me at all costs?
Fortunately, Xiaolan was not thinking about who should be rescued first when your mother or I fell into the water...
Conan looked at Qin Zhibo next to him and consciously discovered Qin Zhibo's unknown emotional side.
At this moment, Mouri Kogoro walked up to Ichieda with a serious face.
"Tell me where Miss Lihua is. It's not too late to atone for your sins now."
But Iljitaka now had his eyes widened and his mouth wide open, as if the rational part of his head had soared.
"Hello!"
Mouri Kogoro grabbed Ichitaka by his collar and was about to scold him when he was stopped by Qin Zhibo.
"If he doesn't want to say it, forget it. I think Reika Yotsui is still in the villa now. We just need to look carefully again."
"Oh - um..."
For some reason, Mouri Kogoro, who had always been dissatisfied with his colleagues, felt that at this moment he was so convinced by what Qin Zhibo, his colleague, said.
Just like that, a group of people were about to walk out of the kitchen, but Ichitaka suddenly stopped everyone.
"I'll take you there..."
...
Led by Ichitaka's limp, everyone came to a bathroom with a broken light.
Seeing this bathroom, Conan had an idea and remembered that Takashi Ichiji, himself, and Kogoro Mori had searched here, but no one was found.
Could it be...
Standing at the door of the bathroom, Iljitaka raised his finger and pointed to the bathtub in the bathroom, saying, "It's in that bathtub."
"According to my plan, she should be alive now..."
Qin Zhibo and Mouri Kogoro rushed into the bathroom first, followed closely by Conan.
In the dark bathroom, Qin Zhibo was responsible for providing lighting with the nuclear lighter in his hand, Mouri Kogoro was responsible for opening the lid on the bathtub, and Conan was responsible for providing technical guidance.
When the folding lid was opened, Qin Zhibo immediately saw the bright light belonging to the investigation point.
This investigation point is about Reika Yosui who was soaked in water.
And the type of investigation is corpse investigation...
