Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 91: Dare to overturn the table without evidence

After hearing Haruhiko's accusation, Yamagishi Naomi still had a calm expression on her face.

She came towards him carrying the teapot.

Haruhiko thought that this was a powerful woman, who could remain calm at a time like this, but the calmer she appeared, the bigger her problem was.

Most people would have some reaction when faced with sudden accusations, especially the serious crime of killing three people in a row.

You still haven't practiced enough, Ms. Yamagishi.

Suddenly, Haruhiko felt someone pulling at his sleeve.

Look back.

He found that Haibara Ai was standing behind him with a nervous look on her face, telling him to be careful of this woman.

Haruhiko patted her little hands and signaled her not to worry.

The others present were also puzzled by Haruhiko's reasoning.

In the eyes of the servants, the newcomer, Naomi Yamagishi, does not look like someone who could commit serial murders.

The impression she gives people is that of someone with ordinary looks, a good personality, and who works hard enough, but can only barely maintain an 80-point grade.

It seems a bit unreasonable to expect such an ordinary girl to kill three people in a row and put the blame on others.

What's more, the most confusing point is.

What is her motive?
Since it has been confirmed that the treasure is just a beautiful scenery, then as an outsider, what reason does she have to kill Mamiya Mitsuru and others one after another?
Even if all the Mamiya family were wiped out, she would not get any benefits.

Therefore, everyone was curious about what kind of answer Haruhiko could give.

"Mr. Kousaka, the consequences of your words are very serious. I might end up spending the rest of my life in jail." Naomi Yamagishi put the teapot on the dining table and picked up the glass jug of milk.

Haruhiko: "Since I can say it, it's definitely not aimless."

"Then please show me the evidence." She glanced at the glass in front of Haruhiko. "Would you like some more milk?"

"Come on some."

Naomi Yamagishi poured the milk into the glass in front of Haruhiko, her hands steady the whole time.

Behind her, Ai Haibara stared at her movements, afraid that she would do something.

Haruhiko picked up the cup and drank a sip of milk: "Everything started with the disappearance two years ago..."

"Wait, why two years ago?" Conan suddenly interrupted.

Haruhiko glanced at him and said, "Because the murderer's motive for killing started from that time."

Haruhiko looked at the gardener Tabata and said, "Mr. Tabata, I remember you mentioned that a new servant disappeared two years ago, right?"

Tabata said: "Yes, he said one night that he wanted to go to the cursed tower to take a look, but he never came back.

The police came to look for him several times but could not find any trace of him or his body.

However, it was later discovered that he owed a lot of money before he disappeared, so the final guess was that he ran away to avoid debt."

Haruhiko nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, the missing servant should be Miss Yamagishi's relative, right?"

Yamagishi Naomi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "No, I only heard about this after I came here."

"I see..." Haruhiko paused, "But I found something interesting in Nishikawa Mutsumi's room."

As he spoke, Haruhiko took out a stack of materials from his pocket and placed them on the table.

There were a few photographs and newspaper clippings.

Haruhiko pointed to a photo of a young man and woman and said, "That girl with short hair here should be you, right? Even though so much time has passed, you've deliberately grown your hair out, but after all, you haven't had plastic surgery like Mutsumi Nishikawa. You can still tell if you look closely."

Besides, this kind of thing can be found out with just a little investigation, so it's useless for you to deny it."

Yamagishi Naomi took another sip of tea, but this time she didn't say anything.

"And this newspaper from two years ago, which reports on the mysterious disappearance of a servant named Shan Shang in this castle.

And the newspaper said, 'The family protested the police investigation,' and the short-haired girl in the accompanying picture is you, right?" Haruhiko dropped another bombshell.

Naomi Yamagishi finally couldn't keep her composure anymore. She seemed a little confused as to why Haruhiko could find these things.

Haruhiko took advantage of the victory and pursued the opponent's psychological defenses in one fell swoop:

"You may have underestimated the level of vigilance against the treasure of a person who had plastic surgery to look like an old lady for the sake of the treasure. Nishikawa Mutsumi would secretly investigate every staff member who came to work in the castle to ensure that there would be no one here with ill intentions towards the treasure.

After investigation, she found out that you were the relative of the servant who died two years ago, and her vigilance instantly increased.

If she wasn't a little afraid of you as a kendo master, she might have attacked you a long time ago.

By the way, you were the one who fought with me in Mamiya Takato's studio before, right? "

"Fight? Have you ever fought with anyone before?" Conan interrupted Haruhiko again.

Haruhiko glanced at Conan, but this time he didn't wait for him to speak.

Haibara Ai walked over with a cold face, and Conan quickly covered his mouth when he saw this.

Yamagishi Naomi sighed at this time: "You did surprise me, Detective.

But these cannot be used as evidence that I committed murder. I am only here to investigate my brother's death."

Haruhiko: "Have you found any results?"

Yamagishi Naomi shook her head. "Everyone here is so secretive. I only found out this afternoon that the eldest wife was actually impersonated."

Haruhiko continued, "So you're worried that after tonight, without the treasure, Nishikawa Mutsumi will be captured, and Mamiya Mitsuru and Mamiya Takato won't be able to stay in this castle.

You might lose the chance to avenge your brother forever, so you took the risk and chose to do it tonight."

Yamagishi Naomi shook her head. "The rest is all your speculation. You have no evidence to prove that I killed them. Besides, whether it's fingerprints or motives, Mamiya Takato is more of a suspect than me."

Her attitude is almost obvious.

But as she said, unless she takes the initiative to expose herself, there is no way to prosecute her due to insufficient evidence. This is the Japanese judicial system.

Moreover, three people died this time, two of whom were direct members of the Mamiya family.

It is inevitable that the police officers handling the case will choose Takato Mamiya to quickly close the case because they are afraid of outside public opinion, as the chain of evidence is complete and he cannot change his confession.

Yamagishi Naomi's lips curled up into a confident smile: "So please produce the evidence, Detective."

Haruhiko was silent for a moment: "Sorry, I don't have any."

The whole place was in an uproar.

Conan couldn't help but exclaimed: "What?! You said you didn't find any evidence?"

Seeing how confident he was, Conan thought he had solid evidence that would make Yamagishi Naomi confess, but he didn't expect this guy to say that he had no evidence.

Why are you showing off your cards if you don't have any evidence?!
Isn't this equivalent to telling the murderer: I already know that you killed someone, so be careful not to reveal any flaws to me?

What happened to this guy Kousaka? He usually seems quite smart, how could he do such a stupid thing.

Conan complained in his heart.

Others also expressed doubts about Haruhiko's actions to varying degrees.

However, Haruhiko ignored him and continued at his own pace: "You are indeed very capable. You have dealt with all traces. All the evidence and motives at the scene also point to Mamiya Takato.

I suppose you've been practicing for the past few years to learn and prepare for this?"

Yamagishi Naomi smiled and asked, "I really want to know, if I am really the murderer, are you so confident in putting forward your imaginary reasoning because you want me to confess on my own initiative?

Aren't you too naive, Mr. Detective?

Haruhiko drank the milk in one gulp and stood up from his chair: "Because I have a way to make you reveal your true identity."

"You are so confident? I'll have to wait and see." Yamagishi Naomi didn't believe what he said at all.

The others present also waited for Haruhiko to give an explanation.

How would the young detective convince her to confess? With words? Or with physical force?
But no one expected it.

Haruhiko walked past Yamagishi Naomi and came to the gardener Tabata: "Mr. Tabata, you killed the body buried under the flowerbed, didn't you?"

There was a clang.

Tabata's eyes widened, and the teacup in his hand fell on the table, and the black tea flowed down the table and onto his trouser legs.
