Stay away from Conan.

"Eh? Could it be that Mom knows this person?"

On the way to the target's house, Eri Kisaki drove her own "MINI" car and listened to Xiaolan's account of the specific content of the commission.

Just like that, after learning that the person who was threatened was called "Fujieda Kan'ao", Kisaki Eri couldn't help but let out a somewhat surprised sigh.

In response to this, Xiaolan heard the implied meaning in Kisaki Eri's words and asked naturally.

So, Kisaki Eri explained:

“Yes, I have a friend who is his consulting lawyer and I heard a lot of rumors.

"It is said that when he was young, he was a gigolo. He hooked up with a rich man's daughter and became her son-in-law. Then, he used the family's money to secretly do a lot of abnormal business and hide his private money..."

"It's not surprising that someone would want to kill a person like this..."

Listening to the rumors told by Kisaki Eri, Conan couldn't help but think so mockingly in his heart.

"So, it was his wife, the daughter of that rich man, who commissioned it?"

After listening to Kisaki Eri's explanation, Xiaolan made this guess about the noble lady who came to her father to ask for an investigation.

But Kisaragi shook her head and said:

"No, because I heard that man's wife died half a year ago. So, maybe he married a mistress?"

Kisaki Eri guessed so.

As a result, Xiaolan was a little surprised when she heard this and said:

"Ah? His wife died not long ago!"

"Hmm! No matter what, it's really a pity to protect the life of such a person..."

Kisaki Eri sighed, but in order to help Maori Kogoro deal with the follow-up, she had to investigate the matter...

……

While Kisaki Eri and the others were still on their way to the Fujieda household, Takato and Kudo Yukiko had already arrived at the Fujieda mansion.

Looking at this huge mansion with a large and well-maintained courtyard, Gao Yuan's memory gradually overlapped with his impression of the original plot after seeing these scenes, and he remembered more things -

Especially, I saw a gardener in the courtyard of this mansion who hardly spoke to anyone.

Gradually, Gao Yuan remembered the details of the original work. It seemed that in the original work, the murder of the head of the Fujieda family was related to the courtyard of this mansion.

In response to this, Gao Yuan naturally asked a few more questions to the man named Fujieda Shigeru who came to receive Kudo Yukiko.

As a result, Gao Yuan filled in more details. After all, it was impossible for Gao Yuan to remember every detail of the original plot, so some trivial details needed to be filled in by real investigation. At this moment, Gao Yuan, who had obtained more clues, basically confirmed that in this family, it seemed that most people were very dissatisfied with the current head of the family, Fujieda Mikio.

"So, the current Fujieda Shigeo married your sister and became your son-in-law. After your parents and your sister passed away, the Fujieda family was completely owned by Mr. Fujieda Shigeo, right?"

Gao Yuan confirmed this with Fujieda Shigeru, a man in his forties with a mustache and a somewhat elegant temperament.

"If that's the case... it's true..."

Facing Gao Yuan's question, Fujieda Shigeru felt that Gao Yuan's intention was a bit obvious, and couldn't help but smiled and said:

"Don't tell me, you think that since I was the second son of the Fujieda family and my ex-brother-in-law is now in control of the family business, you would suspect that I was the one who threatened my ex-brother-in-law, right?"

Gao Yuan didn't think so in his heart. After all, he knew the plot of the original work, and if the other party was really a threat, there was no need to take the initiative to tell Kudo Yusaku about this, right?

However, Gao Yuan still said with a skeptical attitude:

"Who knows?"

- After all, just from the surface, the situation of the Fujieda family clearly shows that most people in this family are dissatisfied with the fact that Fujieda Kan'ao is the head of the family.

A pretty boy who married into the Fujieda family. Originally, only the original lady of the family liked him. After he married into the family, he took the money of the Fujieda family and used various means to accumulate wealth for himself. Finally, after the elders of the previous generation of the Fujieda family passed away, and even his wife passed away, he immediately made his lover his legal wife, making the Fujieda family his property. What would the original people of the Fujieda family think?

"Speaking of which, through Fujieda Shigeo's operation over the years, he used the assets that originally belonged to the Fujieda family as the starting capital to earn his current wealth. Legally speaking, these assets now belong to Fujieda Shigeo, not the original Fujieda family...

"Oh, 'parasite'..."

Gao Yuan was thoughtful and made an unceremonious comment on a person like Fujieda Kan'ao. After all, he started out with the assets of the Fujieda family and eventually became the head of the Fujieda family...

"To be honest, I don't quite understand why you contacted Mr. Yusaku about this matter? After all, in the current situation, whether the threat to Fujieda Mikio will pose a threat to him personally or not, from the perspective of the result, it actually makes no difference to you, right?"

Changing the subject, Gao Yuan asked Fujieda Shigeru:

"Now, your situation in the Fujieda family is nothing more than the brother of the family head's ex-wife. Even if Fujieda Mikio is dead now, you won't get a penny of his inheritance. And if he's still alive, he's occupying your family's original property, which is disgusting...

"So, if I were in your situation, I might choose to do nothing and let him be..."

In this way, Gao Yuan analyzed Fujieda Shigeru's current situation from the perspective of interests, and then suddenly said:

"Unless... you're not actually worried about Fujieda Mikio, but the person who threatens him, right?"

Immediately, as Gao Yuan said this, Fujieda Shigeru looked a little surprised and was stunned for a moment, then Gao Yuan continued to analyze:

"As I walked along, I found that there were basically no other people in this mansion. There were only a few elderly housekeepers and gardeners still working in the mansion. Judging from their appearance, they must have been in this mansion when your parents were still alive, right?

"So, you are worried that Fujieda Mikio, who is actually the one they are threatening, will do something stupid, so you want to find him, right?"

——Speaking of which, as Gao Yuan finished his analysis, he suddenly felt that this matter might not be so easy to deal with. After all, the original work was just the original work. In the original work, only the housekeeper took action at that time, but this did not seem to guarantee that other people had no intention of killing, such as the taciturn gardener.

Therefore, even if we point out that it was Fujieda Mikio who was threatened by the butler, it seems that the problem cannot be solved at all... (End of this chapter)
