They came to the window, and the moonlight shone through the curtains onto the ground. The silvery light reflected on the sisters' blushing faces, making them look even more charming.

"Let's just pretend that what happened today never happened, okay, Mr. Maori."

Suzuki Ayako spoke softly, with a hint of uneasiness and pleading in her voice. She knew that Maori must know what she meant.

But Maori did not answer, just shook his head slightly, firmly expressing his refusal.

Suzuki Ayako looked at him anxiously, with deep worry in her eyes.

"This is a marriage between a consortium, we can't treat it like a joke..."

She explained almost eagerly, trying to convince Maori.

However, before she could finish her words, a loud thunder suddenly exploded. The deafening sound made her subconsciously throw herself into Maori's arms again, her heart pounding wildly.

Mao Li looked down at her, a half-smile on his face.

Suzuki Ayako's cheeks became redder and redder. "It was just an accident...really."

Yuanzi laughed at the side and whispered: "What does it matter? No one knows anyway. Today is a secret between the three of us."

Suzuki Ayako hesitated for a moment and sighed inwardly.

This is the last time...

She closed her eyes gently, as if trying to convince herself, and finally, she slowly leaned into Maori's arms.

Just then, there was a noisy sound coming from downstairs, as if some dispute was going on fiercely.

Suzuki Ayako immediately raised her head, a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes, and Maori also became alert in an instant, pulling her and Sonoko to the stairs, listening quietly to the movement downstairs.

It turned out that Tetsuji Tozawa was drunk and was clamoring to go home.

Seeing this, Xiaolan hurried forward to persuade him: "Uncle Fuze, you are drunk, take a rest before leaving."

However, Tetsuji Tozawa refused to listen and insisted on leaving.

Tomizawa Yuzo also rushed out to try to calm his father's anger, and gently advised: "Father, it's not safe for you to leave now, you should rest for a while."

However, Tetsuji Tozawa did not appreciate it. Instead, he flew into a rage and slapped Tozawa Yuzo hard on the face, angrily scolding: "Look how outstanding Mr. Maori is! His daughter is so outstanding too! It would be great if you could marry Miss Lan!"

This slap not only hit Tomizawa's face, but also hit his self-esteem.

He looked at his father in shock, a mixture of humiliation and anger on his face.

He glanced sideways at Xiaolan who was standing beside him, and seeing her helpless expression due to this sudden situation, the shame in his heart suddenly intensified.

Tomizawa Yuzo clenched his fists tightly, and a flame of anger ignited in his eyes. Suddenly, he roared at the top of his lungs: "Don't you like to arrange things? Then arrange a marriage between Xiaolan and me! Anyway, I don't like Suzuki Ayako!"

When Suzuki Ayako upstairs heard this, she was stunned. The shock in her eyes gradually turned into anger, and her face turned ashen.

"... Obviously, I tried my best to protect the marriage and the reputation of the consortium... but you..."

Her lips trembled slightly, and an irrepressible anger and loss surged in her heart.

Mao Li's face also turned cold, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. He was secretly annoyed in his heart: Who are you to dare to covet my precious daughter?

"You're just a piece of trash! You even need me to help you chase women!"

Tetsuji Tomizawa was drunk, his face twisted with anger. He raised his foot and kicked his son Tomizawa Yuzo hard, then pushed him away and turned around and walked out of the villa angrily.

Tomizawa Yuzo climbed up from the ground in pain, his face ashen and burning with anger, and he ran out howling, obviously intending to catch up with his father.

At this time, Suzuki Ayako and Sonoko upstairs also came back to their senses from the shock just now. Seeing the out-of-control scene of Tozawa father and son, their hearts were filled with anxiety.

Suzuki Ayako still had a hint of anger on her face, and whispered to Maori: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."

Maori comforted her and said that she was scared, but her expression was uncertain.

He had a premonition that someone was going to die soon.

"What a clichéd consortium dispute."

Haibara Ai yawned and looked a little confused. She squinted her eyes and looked upstairs. Why didn’t Uncle Mori bring the two Suzuki sisters upstairs and haven’t come down yet?

Xiaolan looked at the direction of the Tozawa father and son outside the door with a worried look on her face, and said anxiously: "Don't let anything happen."

Conan seemed relatively calm. He smiled and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Don't worry, Xiaolan, although there was thunder, it won't rain in the short term, so there won't be any problem."

Just as he finished his words, a flash of lightning split the night sky, illuminating the darkness outside.

At the same time, everyone looked out the window in horror, only to see a man raising a stone and smashing it hard on Tetsuji Tozawa's head.

The stone fell, and under the light of lightning, Tetsuji Tozawa's figure appeared particularly abrupt. He fell to the ground in pain, with blood flowing down his forehead.

"what!"

Sonoko screamed, her eyes filled with fear.

Suzuki Ayako also froze and looked at Maori helplessly.

A flash of lightning flashed across Maori's eyes, and he directly climbed through the window and landed on the first floor. He glanced at Conan who also climbed out of the window, then turned to Xiaolan and shouted, "Lan, call the police!"

Chapter 215 What you see with your eyes may not be the truth

"That's... Mr. Yuzo?"

Suzuki Ayako spoke hesitantly. The man was wearing a mask and a woolen hat, and it was unclear whether he was raising a cat, but judging from the atmosphere, he looked very much like Tozawa Yuzo.

When the man saw that he was discovered by everyone, he immediately disappeared into the forest.

"Anyway, go there first!"

Maori and Conan rushed towards Tetsuji Tozawa quickly. Maori squatted down with a gloomy face.

He carefully checked Tetsuji Tozawa's pulse and breathing, his face changed slightly, he shook his head and stood up.

"He is dead."

Mao Li said in a deep voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"what?!"

Suzuki Ayako, who followed, covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock and fear.

Sonoko was also stunned, and looked at Maori Kogoro nervously, "Hey, Uncle Maori, you are not telling the truth? Uncle Tozawa is such a good man, how could he..."

Mao Li shook his head regretfully, and then said, "Take Tetsuji Tozawa back to the villa and wait for the police to come. There is nothing interesting to see at this scene anymore."

Conan looked at Maori with a puzzled look: "Uncle Maori, can't we destroy the scene? Why do you want to take him back?"

Maori did not answer immediately, but looked at Conan, then slowly said: "We have all seen the murder scene. The key point now is who killed Tetsuji Tozawa."

Conan was even more confused: "But didn't we all see that it was Tomizawa Yuzo who killed him?"

Mao Li shook his head slightly, looking sharply into the distance: "What you see is not necessarily the truth. Only after we investigate and find evidence, what we finally come to is the truth. Eliminating all the impossible..."

Before he finished speaking, Conan's eyes lit up immediately, and he continued, "That's the truth! This is what Holmes said! Uncle Maori, do you like Holmes too?"

Mao Li glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "No, I like Agatha Christie."

Conan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sighed: "So she is the queen of reasoning... Is it because she is so powerful?"

Mao Li replied seriously: "No, because she is very beautiful."

Hearing this, Conan rolled his eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Uncle Maori is really worthy of it."

……

Maori looked around, found some thick wooden sticks and ropes, and made a simple stretcher.

Then, he and Conan carefully placed Tetsuji Tozawa's body on it. Maori carried the stretcher with one hand and walked towards the villa with a sullen face.

The group returned to the door of the villa and just as they stepped in, they heard the sound of fighting coming from inside the house. Maori and Conan looked at each other and immediately quickened their pace.

When she pushed open the door, she saw Xiaolan using the grappling techniques that Mori taught her to pin Tomizawa Yuzo to the ground.

Tomizawa Yuzo's face was pressed against the floor, his hands were tied behind his back, unable to move. He looked dazed, confused and aggrieved.

"Surrender! You murderer!" Xiaolan pressed Tomizawa Yuzo to the ground, her tone full of anger and determination.

"Wait a minute, Xiaolan!" Maori hurried forward to stop her.

Tomizawa Yuzo raised his head, his face full of question marks and innocence in his eyes: "I don't know what you are talking about! I didn't kill anyone at all!" His voice was full of grievance and confusion.

Xiaolan frowned and glanced at Maori: "But, Dad, it was clearly him just now..."

Mao Li waved his hand, signaling Xiaolan to relax: "Xiaolan, it's not that simple. Let him go first."

Although Xiaolan was a little reluctant, she still listened to Mori's words and loosened her control over Tomizawa Yuzo.

Tomizawa Yuzo immediately got up, rubbed his wrist that was painful from being pressed, and looked at Maori and Conan with confusion, as if waiting for an explanation.

Tomizawa Yuzo's eyes wandered over Mori's face, and suddenly, his attention was drawn to the body of Tomizawa Tetsuji lying on the stretcher.

The next second, he seemed to have lost his mind, rushed to his father's body, fell to his knees, and cried out: "Dad! This is not true!"

"Don't come close!"

Mao Li stopped Tomizawa Yuzo and calmly stopped him, "You are still a suspect and cannot touch the body."

Tomizawa Yuzo was stunned, tears leaving two traces on his face. He looked at Maori helplessly: "But I really didn't kill anyone. I didn't even touch him..."

Maori glanced at him indifferently without saying much, but just signaled him to be patient and stay aside for the time being.

Although Mori did not tie up Tomizawa Yuzo, he did not completely let his guard down and continued to carefully monitor his every move.

Not long after, the sound of police car sirens was heard from outside, and then Inspector Yokomizo hurried over with a team of police officers.

As soon as he saw Mao Li, a familiar smile immediately appeared on his face. He quickly stepped forward and shook Mao Li's hand: "Mr. Mao Li, we are really destined to meet! We meet again."

Mao Li smiled slightly and responded easily: "Inspector Yokomizo, it's better not to be so fateful. It's best if no case happens."

Inspector Yokomizo smiled bitterly and nodded: "Mr. Maori is right, I am too narrow-minded."

Then, he put away his smile, became serious, and asked Mao Li: "Can you briefly explain the situation?"

Maori nodded and gave a brief account of what had just happened.

He described what they saw, specifically mentioning a man wearing a mask and a hat who looked like Yuzo Tozawa.

After listening to Mori's description, Inspector Yokomizo immediately clapped his hands, "Isn't it very clear now? The criminal is Tomizawa Yuzo!"

However, Mao Li shook his head and said in a deep tone: "It's not that simple. What we saw was just a man who looked like him. Moreover, the Tozawa family has an important feature - they have triplets."

"Triplets!?" Inspector Yokomizo's eyes widened, and it was difficult for him to digest this information. He usually worked in Shizuoka and didn't know much about the details of the Tozawa family, so this news was particularly shocking.

"Yes," Mao Li tilted his head slightly, his tone still calm, "So we must also find Mr. Taichi Tozawa and Mr. Tatsuji Tozawa to confirm their whereabouts. If you don't have contact information, you can ask Ms. Suzuki for help."

Suzuki Ayako stepped forward at the right time, with a slightly sad look on her face, she bowed respectfully to Inspector Yokomizo and said gently: "I am Suzuki Ayako, please let me know if you need anything."

"Ah...it turns out to be the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family!"

When Inspector Yokomizo heard the name, he suddenly felt a sense of pressure.

Although he didn't know the Tozawa Zaiba, the Suzuki Group was well-known. Facing Ayako's polite attitude, he immediately stood in awe and became more cautious: "Ms. Suzuki, thank you very much for your help."

Ayako nodded slightly, then took out her cell phone and started calling Taichi Tozawa and Tatsuji Tozawa.

Inspector Yokomizo arranged his officers to search around the villa and interrogate everyone inside to ensure that the suspect would not escape easily.

Mao Li stood aside and called Mari Terahara, "Mari, something has happened to the Tozawa Zaibatsu. You are in charge of cleaning it up. Eat as much as you can!"

This is the most cutting-edge news and also the most profitable news!

Chapter 216 The tacit understanding of the three brothers

The triplets of the Tomizawa family finally gathered in the hall of the villa. They stood in a row, forming an almost indistinguishable barrier.

The three people are almost identical in height, build and facial shape, with the only differences being in some minor details.

Taichi Tomizawa has a slightly longer hairstyle and a pair of mustaches, which gives him a literary temperament; Tatsuji Tomizawa is a little more serious, with a slicked-back hair and a hint of coldness between his brows; and Yuzo Tomizawa is a combination of the two and looks somewhat kind.

But these tiny differences became almost imperceptible when they stood together, especially under the light, the outlines of the three people became increasingly blurred.

Officer Yokomizo frowned, obviously having trouble distinguishing the three people.

"This... is like looking into three mirrors." Officer Yokomizo sighed helplessly.

He suddenly had an idea and ordered his men to bring some woolen hats and masks for the triplets to wear, hoping that people present would be able to identify the murderer.

The three of them put on woolen hats and masks in turn and stood together again.
