Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 211 Unexpected Will

After a long silence, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa sighed and said, "You are right. I am not Yabuuchi Yoshifusa. But why do you say that Yabuuchi Machiko was killed by me?"

When they heard Yabuuchi Yoshifusa admit that he was a "fake", several people from the Yabuuchi family were visibly stunned, with different expressions on their faces.

Judging from the subtle expressions on the faces of Yoshiyuki Yabuuchi and his wife Keiko Yabuuchi, if it weren't for the wrong timing and place, they would probably have laughed out loud on the spot.

Their stepmother, Yabuuchi Machiko, is already dead, and this "Yabuuchi Yoshifusa" is an imposter...won't the inheritance they can get be even bigger?!
At this time, Makino walked up to Yabuuchi Yoshifusa and slowly spoke: "Because Yabuuchi Machiko drove back with the intention of killing you. The car was in normal condition and the keys were still in the car, but she deliberately parked the car far away in the woods."

"This means that she didn't want us in the house to find out that she had driven back in advance. Moreover, since she didn't take out the car keys, it means that she wanted to return to the car after doing 'something'. And what she wanted to do was to get rid of you, the 'Yabuuchi Yoshifusa' whose true or false identity is unknown."

Hearing this, everyone present fell into deep thought.

Shancun kept nodding his head like a chick pecking at rice, looking at Makino with admiration.

After thinking for a while, Yabuuchi Hiromi suddenly said, "Wait a minute! Makino... Officer, didn't my stepmother call us at nine o'clock? Wasn't she still at the wedding celebration venue at that time? It takes at least an hour to drive from the venue to here..."

Makino shook his head and said, "She did call us, but she was not at the venue at that time. If I'm not mistaken, she had already driven here at that time."

Yabuuchi Hiromi frowned and said, "But I clearly heard the noisy sound in the venue on the phone..."

Makino pulled a glove out of his pocket and used his gloved hand to take out an empty tape box from the car and showed it to everyone:
"That's the source of the sounds you heard. This car has a function that can play tapes. As long as Yabuuchi Machiko recorded the sounds in the venue in advance, she could pretend that she was still at the celebration venue. In addition, when the murder weapon was found, it was wrapped in a women's raincoat."

"Both the size of the raincoat and the bloodstains and knife marks on the chest of the raincoat match Yabuuchi Machiko. It wasn't raining just now, and the reason why Yabuuchi Machiko wore this raincoat was to avoid being splashed with blood."

"Before she left, she specifically mentioned the uncle who hated you and Yabuuchi Yoshifusa in order to deliberately draw your attention so that she could pin the suspicion of murder on him later."

Everyone looked at the empty tape box in Makino's hand and fell into deep thought.

Any single thing that Makino said would make it difficult for them to doubt Yabuuchi Machiko from the bottom of their hearts.

But when all these things were added together, even Officer Yamamura realized that Yabuuchi Machiko was very suspicious.

After nodding silently a few times, Officer Yamamura looked at Makino in confusion: "Officer Makino, then... why was she the one who died in the end?"

Makino glanced at Officer Yamamura helplessly: "Although Yabuuchi Machiko was very thoughtful, there is one thing she didn't think of in advance."

The next moment, Makino turned his head and looked at "Yabuuchi Yoshifusa" beside him: "Old man, if I'm not mistaken, you should have practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, right?"

"Yabuuchi Yoshifusa" looked at Makino deeply and slowly closed his eyes: "You are absolutely right. When I was taking a shower, she suddenly rushed in with a knife. In a hurry, I used jutsu to twist the knife back and stabbed it into her body."

At this point, "Yabuuchi Yoshifusa" slowly shook his head, took a deep breath, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes:
"With a police officer like you here, I can tell you everything without any worries. My real name is Tanaka Hickson, and I'm a friend of Yabuuchi Yoshifusa. We used to run a farm together in Brazil."

"Ten years ago, a tornado hit our farm. My right leg was injured at that time, and Yifang also lost his right arm in that tornado. Just half a year ago, Yifang also died of illness..."

At this moment, Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki suddenly pointed at Tanaka Hickson and interrupted him: "Wait! So, the reason you came here is to snatch the inheritance left by my father?!"

Tanaka Hickson glanced at Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki and said nothing.

The next second, he turned to look at Makino: "I won't say more until this matter is completely over. I can only tell Officer Makino my real purpose."

Makino glanced at the Yabuuchi family members around him, then looked at Tanaka Hickson in front of him, shook his head and said, "Mr. Tanaka, even if the incident is really as you and I just said, you must go to the police station. Since someone died, even if it was self-defense, you must accept a more detailed investigation and questioning."

Without waiting for Tanaka Hickson to respond, Makino continued, "I know what you're worried about, but since things have developed to this point, there's no point in you hiding his identity. Besides, once you're taken away, you won't be able to protect him anymore, right?"

Hearing this, Tanaka Hickson immediately looked up at Makino, his face full of shock.

He didn't expect that Makino already knew "this".

The faces of the others were filled with confusion and bewilderment, not quite understanding what Makino and Tanaka Hickson were talking about.

After a moment's silence, Tanaka Hickson finally made up his mind and was ready to tell everything.

He glanced at the black man beside him and said, "Actually, Carlos is not my bodyguard... He is the biological son of Yabuuchi Yoshifusa."

Everyone: "?!"

Shancun Cao: “!!!”

As soon as Tanaka Hickson finished speaking, everyone present looked at Carlos in astonishment.

Compared to the news that "Yabuuchi Machiko wanted to kill someone but was killed instead", this news was undoubtedly more shocking to everyone.

No matter how they thought about it, they never imagined that this dark-skinned young man was actually the biological son of their adopted uncle!

Yukiko put her hand on her chin and thought carefully.

If Carlos is really the son of Yabuuchi Yoshifusa, then everything that Tanaka Sickson has done and his actions so far can be explained.

Tanaka Hickson previously said that Carlos was his bodyguard and that he always kept Carlos by his side.

But when taking a bath, he deliberately asked Carlos to stay in the room with them.

It turned out that this was not done to make Carlos pay attention to their movements, but to better protect Carlos.

After all, with that threatening letter in front of him, Tanaka Hickson naturally knew how dangerous "here" was.

The reason why he disguised himself as Yabuuchi Yoshifusa was to bring the danger to himself so that everyone would ignore Carlos's existence.

After seeing everyone's expressions, Makino looked down at the time on his phone and said slowly, "Whether Mr. Tanaka is telling the truth or not, we will know for sure tomorrow. Ms. Guangmei, when will the estate lawyer arrive tomorrow?"

After a moment's pause, Yabuuchi Hiromi immediately answered, "The lawyer said that he should be here early tomorrow morning."

Makino nodded, then turned to look at Officer Yamamura who was in a state of confusion, and said:

"Officer Yamamura, you have probably understood the situation, right? It's getting late, and we will be responsible for everyone's safety tonight. We have basically found the important evidence, so don't forget to let your men take turns to rest."

"Yes!" Officer Shancun raised his hand and saluted. ...

Early the next morning.

Not long after everyone got up, they were attracted by the sound outside the door.

Soon after, the police officer on duty at the door brought a middle-aged man carrying a black briefcase to Makino and Yamamura So and said, "This is the lawyer of the Yabuuchi family!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Officer Yamamura nodded to the police officer.

After the police guarding the gate left, the middle-aged man took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and looked at Makino and the others nervously: "Um... May I ask what happened? I am Yabuuchi's lawyer. Today is the day to publish the will of the head of the Yabuuchi family who passed away last month..."

Officer Yamamura did not answer, but blinked and turned to look at Makino beside him.

After seeing the look from Yamamura Cao, Makino secretly sighed: "Mr. Lawyer, there is actually a murder here. I heard that the time for publishing the will is 10 o'clock tonight. If possible, can you please publish the will in advance?"

After hearing the word "murder case", the middle-aged lawyer sweated more and his face turned paler.

After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged lawyer finally nodded and said, "The head of the Yabuuchi family did not strictly stipulate that the will must be published on time. Since this special situation has occurred... it is okay. As long as all the people of the Yabuuchi family are present, it is legally feasible to publish the will now."

Hearing this, Makino nodded and said, "Then I will call everyone from the Yabuuchi family now, thank you for your help."

Not long after, in the Yabuuchi family's reception room.

Everyone from the Yabuuchi family sat around the table in the reception room, with Makino and the others sitting aside.

Seeing that everyone was seated, the lawyer coughed lightly and moved the tape recorder beside him to the table: "Ahem! Now I will announce the will made by Mr. Yabuuchi Yoshichika before his death in front of you all. Please listen carefully to the tape that Yabuuchi prepared in advance."

Hearing this, everyone in the Yabuuchi family showed expectant and nervous expressions.

Just then, the sound of the tape recorder rang out.

——"I, Yabuuchi Yoshichika, have decided to divide my estate among the following six people. My wife Machiko, my daughter Hiromi, my son-in-law Hidekazu, my son Yoshiyuki, my daughter-in-law Keiko... and Carlos. The above six people will share all the property under my name equally."

Hearing that "Carlos" really appeared in Yoshichika Yabuuchi's will, everyone immediately turned to look at Carlos next to Tanaka Hickson.

Unlike what everyone imagined, Carlos's expression did not change at all at this moment.

After noticing everyone's gaze, Carlos touched the back of his head with a puzzled look on his face.

The next second, as if to explain Carlos's reaction, Tanaka Hickson said: "Carlos doesn't understand Japanese, and I didn't tell him the real purpose of coming here."

Compared to whether Carlos could speak Japanese or not, everyone was thinking about something else.

That is, Tanaka Xixun did not lie yesterday, this Carlos is actually the son of their adopted uncle!
And judging from the will, their deceased father obviously knew about this a long time ago.

At this moment, the "Carlos" that appeared in the will was undoubtedly the best evidence of what Tanaka Hickson said.

Without waiting for anyone to react, Makino walked straight to the cabinet at the back of the living room and turned back to look at Yabuuchi Keiko with a smile:

"Ms. Jingzi, when you were announcing the will, why did you keep looking at this cabinet? Could it be that there is something in this cabinet that you care about more than the will?"

Upon hearing this, Yabuuchi Keiko's expression changed immediately.

Seeing that Makino was about to open the cabinet door, Yabuuchi Keiko could no longer sit still.

She immediately stood up, her tone horrified, "We can't just open the cabinet! Arrows will shoot out! There's a crossbow I set up in there!!"

The moment Yabuuchi Keiko finished speaking, Makino also opened the cabinet in front of him.

--"call out!"

With a slight sound, an arrow suddenly flew out from the cabinet.

Without waiting for everyone to react, Makino simply stretched out two fingers and clamped the arrow.

After seeing the arrow between Makino's fingers, everyone was stunned for a moment.

However, Yukiko and Conan's reactions after seeing this scene were obviously different from everyone else's.

Yukiko's eyes sparkled and she applauded Makino excitedly.

After being stunned for a moment, Conan immediately reached out and hugged his head, with a few drops of cold sweat on his face due to the pain.

After being stunned for two seconds, Tanaka Xixun stood up and looked at the arrow in Makino's hand with fear.

If I'm not mistaken, the direction this arrow is shooting at is... exactly me!!

Soon, everyone present came to their senses. Officer Yamamura and the two police officers at the door walked up to Yabuuchi Keiko with serious faces.

After noticing everyone's gazes, Yabuuchi Keiko instantly fell to the ground, closed her eyes and said, "I made this crossbow when Uncle Yoshifusa just came back... Please believe me, I have done many tests in advance, this arrow will not hit him! My original intention was just to scare him, not to kill him at all!!"

"Besides, I already knew last night that he wasn't the real uncle! There was no reason to attack him at all! It's just that we were under surveillance by the police last night, so I didn't have time to retrieve it..."

After listening to Keiko Yabuuchi's explanation, her husband Yoshiyuki Yabuuchi immediately spoke up: "Keiko! Why did you do this?!"

After hesitating for a while, Yabuuchi Keiko lowered her head and said, "Hubby... Actually, I borrowed a loan shark without telling you. I thought that as long as the inheritance was distributed smoothly, I could pay off the debt without you finding out, but Uncle Yoshifusa suddenly came back..."

Hearing this, Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki and everyone else in the room fell silent.

No one expected that, in addition to what happened yesterday, they would actually see something like this today...
